Bang Mains, lemme hear you
Curious, how do you utilize her ult to the best of its capability? I find half the time I stun myself 😂

@RECON-DRIZZI'm not a Bangalore main but in the few times i actually play her i use it in one of 2 ways. I either use it to force people to stay in a building to buy time to push/revive or keep them from approaching near a choke.
If they don't stick close together, feel free to throw it into the group, most of them take the quickest route to avoid damage without thinking and will split up in the panic, which you can use to get a pick by ganging up on one if you play with a coordinated squad (i often use similar tactics with Caustic and it works wonders).- @RECON-DRIZZ I used to main her in previous seasons, maybe until 6th.
I liked to toss my ulti at fighting squads, depending on the situation. Of course it's especially good in open spaces when people can hide only behind some rocks and can't really move anywhere because being surrounded by enemies or map obstacles.
Also using my ult when being chased down by a full squad saved my life many times.
Most of the time when I wanted to "slow down" some lone survivor with my ult I actually stunned my Path teammate who started the chase just after my ult started 😅 If you want to know how to bang right, just watch ShivFPS streaming. He has over 105K Kills on her, also very fun to watch him. Surely you can learn some things here and there.
- @JjumpingJjack This exactly. His use of smoke and his ult is unreal.
- @RECON-DRIZZ Well I think I can give you some tips. You might start by watching some of Shiv videos on youtube. He's probably one of the top, if not one of the best Bang players out there.
The ult is really dependent as to what you're trying to do with it. In general the big key to using the ult to its maximum is learning how to time it. The ult falls in the exact same pattern, with the exact same timing every time. So you can learn how to run through it without getting hit by it.
When I use it to push enemies I often throw the ult on them and wait for it to go off. While I'm waiting I'm throwing my nades at them or sniping at them with their a mid range weapon or a sniper. I typically don't throw it on enemies I'm rushing unless they are already fighting. I typically save it incase we get third partied.. If we have people trying to third party us I can throw my ult on the third party.
I also tend to shoot them with my smoke when I throw my ult on them. It's much more difficult for them to avoid it if they can't see.
You can use it to buy time. This is how I use it the most. Go into the fight, knock someone and need to pop a bat.. Throw my ult down on the enemy, smoke myself and hit the bat. This does a few things for you 1. it might eliminate the person you knocked and 2. it prevents the enemy from reviving the person you knocked, it also buys you some time to hit the battery/cells - @DarthValtrex Personally I wouldnt watch the youtube vids. They are misleading so always the best games. Watch his twitch streams and you'll see all sorts of crazy.
- @hayhor That's a good point. The other point to make about Bangs ult, it's not always about hitting enemies with it. It can still be useful even if you don't hit them. If it splits up the enemy squad you can pick them off 1 by 1.
