Hey, everyone! In this video guide I'm going to talk about engagement timing fundamentals, why it matters and how to get better at it in OW! :)


KEY SUMMARY POINTS:

  • The 0.5-Second Rule: Always let your Tank take the initial enemy attention first, then wait half a second before you follow up with your own pressure.


  • Synchronize with "Spikes of pressure": Time your aggression to match teammate Ultimates (like EMP) or high-value cooldowns (like Ana’s Nade or Zen’s Discord).


  • Know the Exceptions: You should only engage without your team if an enemy is completely isolated, low on health, or has already used their escape abilities.
