Trials of Osiris

Hey guys, Honorable OG Pimp here, I just wanted to share a quick post with some learnings and findings and generate more conversation about strats and whatnot in ToO. First off, Warlocks are pretty pimpalicious in the Trials. I lost my 8-0 to a team of three Warlocks as they Radiance was really hard for us to deal with, especially when they have a chance to collect orbs and regen again a round or two later. It can be extremely helpful and turn the tides in your favour even when you are down a couple of games to 4. Sticky nades FTW! So try and have a warlock or two on your team for sure! Second, and specifically this week, I personally realized that I suck Ron Jeremy schlong with snipers and it hurt my ability to compete this week. Luckily I found some team mates that were great with the sniper and I had some luck. When building your teams definitely try to build a strategy when your coming into the Trials, and be well rounded and prepared for most situations. Third and expanding on my last point, come in with a strategy but definitely be changing it up once your in there. Don't let them get to comfortable and neither should you. try different routes, learn pinch points, and one strategy I learned was invaluable this week is flanking your opponent especially on a sniper heavy map like this weeks. You can gain the element of surprise with these sneak attacks (of sorts) and really get them flustered and scattered. Closing in quick on them once you have sprung this attack can be very fruitful. I'll be the first to admit though this is a high risk, high reward as it does leave your team a little split up so save this for a couple rounds in once you can guage your opponents skill level and play style. As many of us have learned Trials can be very frustrating some times, take a minute to breath, switch things up in there when it isn't working, have some fun! Hope that kinda helps, gives some things to think about. Feel free to expand!
