As someone who mains iron man. Use all of the height advantage you have. You should not be exposing yourself to their line of sight. Force them to look up so your teammates can close the gap. Know where all the health pickups are. Most healers won't look up to heal you. Flank and kill backliners and healers.
Exactly. I stay constantly on the flanks and jiggle peeking pillars and such. When in trouble, fly into safety and get health packs. Come back and harass again. Aim for healers/squishies.
I’ve been playing him mostly as well. Def been using this strat and have seen some great success. You get the occasional Hawkeye or starlord who can become a pain, but my KD ratio is usually really good and I’m often highest kills and damage in the lobby.
Ive got about 16 hrs on him and regularly play him ranked when i can. Unfortunately everyone goes DPS and nobody wants to play tank so i tank most of the time but when i go ironman i pop off everytime. A good tip is you don’t need to peek out for long or necessarily hit the opponent if they’re behind cover IE: hawkeye or Hela. You have splash damage, use it, hit the ground/wall around where they are hiding. Ironman is great for suppressing fire but when you can, land your shots for maximum damage. Also, know your angles on the map.
Something I’ve discovered and a tip for Ironman players is that armour overdrive resets your flying meter. So you fly out of spawn when the match starts. By the time you almost finish, you activate armour overdrive. You fly again to high ground, wait for the enemy to show up and you blast them. This enables you to engage the enemy in your strongest form and improve mobility. Hope this helps and makes Ironman gameplay more enjoyable.
@@ironmanunit tip for Ironman pick literally anything else. There I fixed it. His ult is good only with a dr strange portal. He’s only remotely viable in bronze lobbies. I’d rather my teammate pick Hawkeye and miss every shot than be Ironman.
@@TonyStark_InvincibleIronManI would ban iron man so no one on my team can pick him. No character is so op you can’t deal with. I lose more games because a teammate picks iron man and won’t switch off then whatever character you think is so OP we need a ban option. People just don’t counterswap in this game and that’s annoying.
@@Ogreslayer93 you wanna more ban see after I getting passive ability make me invincible unkillable character in this game and you're gonna be toast and fully rage at this game.
I got to Platinum in the beta with Iron Man and Rocket and I can say that he is made for surprises from weird angles. He deals crazy damage if you’re not too far which is why you need to use weird angles and take advantage weird architecture you can use for cover while in the sky. Being closer makes it more likely to hit direct shots and gives his rockets less room to spread out dealing more damage to the whole enemy team and probably allowing you to off supporters quickly. They also completely destroy breakable walls allowing you to surprise teams by quickly deleting one of their main pieces of cover. If you fly straight into someone and use your rockets they might also deal great damage but I’m not sure as I only got a kill that way once by accident and I’m not brave enough to try again. People can counter you with high precise damage which is why you need to surprise them so what’ll really get you is your own team if they play too defensively and can’t hold the enemy team’s attention which leads to you being spotted more often. In this case you should find safe spots to unibeam enemy tanks so your team can go in or you can deal far safe splash damage to supports if they heal the tank too much which happens more often with Venom and Magneto as they give themselves shields and armor in which case remember to regularly rise and lower to avoid more damage and headshots if the back line can see you. More often than not you can just help deal with tanks like Groot, Strange, Penny, Captain America and Thor even if they’re are healed but remember to do it from weird angles as to super heroes being covered in Iron is the same as being covered in Glass. Unibeam is also your main tool against flankers after your back line and people trying to get in your way like Wanda and another Iron Man. It’s also the best way to kill anyone fleeing with low health. This is good until you run into high damaging close range characters like Spider-Man, Iron Fist, Psylocke whose shots spread and deal good damage at the same time or maybe even Rocket if they’re after you specifically. You then you need to fly away from them towards your team. It’ll be close but you can survive them if you fly away quickly enough so stay out of the line of sight of the rest of the enemy team so some stray shot can’t finish you off before you reach your healers and you can focus on killing them with your team if you’re followed while rising to ensure your safety against melee or hiding behind your team against long range characters. Also make sure to unibeam any Wanda who uses her ultimate and you’ll beat her nearly every time and definitely every time if anyone from your team helps to make up for you missing or the Wanda hiding during the start. Iron Man is a great character for those with good aim but bad shot timing. I can keep my aim centered on enemies and lean my shots but I’ll mostly shoot when it’s going to miss if I use a lot of other characters. If you keep track of where both teams are placing their attention you can excel by killing the reason your healers aren’t showing up, the reason your fellow dps isn’t being as agressive as you want them to be, and help tanks beat enemy tanks. Lastly keep track of your ammo and reload if you need to switch from using both kinds of firing as the difference in ammo depletion can leave you confused about how long you can keep firing also learn the location of healing stations as your supports often lose track of you.
@@Jlopezocasio or you could pick literally anyone else because he’s the worst character in hero shooter history only works if you don’t see him and other characters do that better or the enemy has terrible aim and in that situation anybody works. If you’re Ironman and other team has a hulk you’re a free kill.
@@Ogreslayer93 Wolverine exists and he is definitely much worse than Iron Man as he is only playable against tanks and if anyone has any abilities to move or to stun him then he is left with only a very short dash and nothing more due to his long cooldowns making his only option to run away and try again later. I also don’t know why you even brought up the Hulk. He has never been an issue for me as Iron Man. Has he killed me? Probably, but it’s a very rare occurrence and not effective enough for me to even recall a Hulk as annoying let alone some big counter to Iron Man.
One thing for new iron man players, when your learning his movement. Be a pepper box, try piss the enemy off as much as possible, dont try kill but focus more on damage and then when you get more comfortable with his movement, switch to getting kills more. Oh and use his e ability as much as possible
I mean I ded got to 1k kills with iron man with 8hrs played, any iron man mains u can correct me if I’m wrong but iron man’s main job is not to kill ur basically an annoying fly leaving damage to other teams giving ur teammates easy kills if ur smart constantly move take advantage of height , and know where ur team and enemy team is at icl its fun , very under appreciated character but great
Freebie for people: there’s a certain map where you spawn in and have to move the payload where the opponent team sits outside your spawn, there’s a window up top where you can see outside. Fun fact: you can pick ironman, sit at the door inside spawn, float up and just pop free shots at the team to help your team push. Hawkeye and others help to but Ironman is great at this. Feel free to switch after if you want.
He needs faster speed. Better rockets more HP and a mid air dodge to be a solid top tier IMO. Also he should be able to touch the ground because a lack of a jump seriously hurts his maneuverability and makes him such a free shot
i like to switch playstyles between targeting healers with left click and spamming my right click on anyone i see bc the right click gets ur ult so much faster so if u cant get the healers i start holding my beam on the tanks to get my ult super fast and ult before anyone has theirs to counter it it works wonders
Iron Man got me to level 8 in about 2 hours and honestly I'm playing this 99% of the time. When we have Black widow and Hawkeye ill switch to healer and hope for the best...maybe we can get those heros nerfed soon because they are small hit box and powerful KO"S. 229 KO's with Iron Man.
Omd there are so many iron man haters. A guy in quick play told me to swap off “most useless iron man” in vc(I was ace going 17 and 4 he was going 10 and 8 on hela)

Iron man is THE scariest DPS if you leave him alone. He may not be S tier, but he is if nobody counters him.
He's a iron fist victim lmao
@@SuperiorIronMan0everyone is if Iron Fist catches them lacking 😭✌️
@@Fartto-p7cnah mantis easy counters iron fist.
Nah if you pick iron man you should just delete the game hes basically throwing on purpose

@@Ogreslayer93counterpoint: git gud
use his rocket barrage whenever youre safe to use it. It does huge amounts of damage to a really big area

Dropped 50 in my first ranked game. Iron man is slept on
Marvel themed "Rocket Arena" has been released
Cool stuff. His kit makes me wonder what they will do with War Machine.
I really hope they add a War Machine as well.
I just started playing two days ago but Ironman is my main moving forward.
All depends on how much attention the enemy team gives you. I’ve gotten 50+ kills when left alone and then there’s times where I can’t do anything lol
WE NEED IRON PATRIOT/WAR MACHINE
Is there a reason why you never use your F?
Yes!!!!!
