4-1-1 (4-DPS)

3-2-1 (3-DPS) Assault (2CP)
- Hammond/Zen/Lucio/Sombra/Tracer/Widow
- Fusion Ran this in a 4-4 situation on Volskaya against Spitfire
- NYXL ran Hammond/Mercy/Zen/Tracer/Sombra/Pharah against Boston on Horizon Lunar Colony
3-2-1 (3-DPS) Control (KotH)
- Hammond/Mercy/Ana/Ashe/Hanzo/Pharah
- Dynasty ran this on Ilios Well against Gladiators
- They swapped a Winston for Hammond midway through before losing
- They swapped Hanzo for Sombra for Lighthouse briefly

The Why:

DVa combo’d with Graviton: The idea is to push the bomb behind or in your graviton, and then pin the enemy Reinhardt.

This puts a lot of pressure on Rein to deflect Bomb
This also will nearly guarantee the Rein Shield will break
Rein’s without Zarya Bubble or Shield get Discorded and melted
A team with a dead Rein/Winston loses the fight nearly every time

->Swapping to Stall has key considerations
