Damage playbook

Setup & first fight

Take an off-angle: high ground or a side spot near cover, so the enemy has to choose between watching you and watching your tank. Pick one you can leave quickly.
Time flanks so they land as your tank engages. Going in alone or too deep is the most common way to die for nothing.

Choose targets on purpose: supports and exposed or isolated heroes first, and join your team's focus instead of pouring damage into the front line.
Pressure counts even without kills. Making supports heal and forcing out cooldowns opens the fight for everyone.

Damage ults do most when the enemy is bunched up or has just spent its support ult. If they have a save ready, bait it first or wait.
Track a few enemy ultimates rather than all five: the one that wins fights and the one that saves them. Judge their charge from last fight's damage and healing and from how long ago they used it.
Avoid stacking two ultimates to win one fight, especially into a counter you haven't baited. It leaves you behind for the next fight.
After a lost fight, stop taking extra peeks. Back off, meet at one spot and go back in together, because trickling in one at a time loses the next fight too.

Overtime only holds while someone alive is actually on the objective (point, payload or robot). Standing near it doesn't count.
In a round's final fight there is nothing left to save ultimates for, so use them freely.
