3 TANK TECHNICS:FADE - Demonstrated Technics Beginner Fades Should master [T3 Arena]
The “Pump-Fake”
The Pump Fake is when you give an enemy the illusion of focusing on one target but actually changing direction and charging at them instead. Be observant and create a false sense of opportunity to allow and enemy to enter your line of sight. To make the change of direction more effective incorporate jumping and do a 90 degree turn mid air to pull this technic off successfully. Try to time the enemy players jump pattern to catch them right before or as soon as the hit the ground.
The “Shoulder Tap“
“Shoulder Tapping” is the ability to control which enemy hero you intend to pin in a series of heros, by choosing when to slightly lean your hitbox to the left or right. Try and stay slightly outside of the line enemies and lean in once you’ve secured your chosen target, and lean back out for a quick pin. The Fade charge animation has a very large hitbox and you can use that to your advantage. If you can tap the enemy players character models shoulder during your charge, the game will automatically place that character model infront of you so you can secure the pin. Best practice, try to shoulder tap non observant supports.
The “Step-Back”
The Step Back is a technic of going in one direction, possibly passing an enemy, and then immediately hitting a full 120-180 turn mid jump and charging in their direction. Lesser observant opponents won’t always hug angles and will be open for to successfully secure the pin.
I use and practice these technics in solo arena to get a better understanding of hitbox spacing. You will be surprised how effective understanding how your hitbox interaction with other players can improve your Fade gameplay! And as always..
Hope this helps,
