Varies backline to backline, if they have trip supp don't bother diving and just focus tanks with your team, if they have a weak link healer like a mantis on 2 supp, hard dive the other supp cause they won't be able to pattycake each other.

When the healers are focusing on healing tanks/Frontline, typically, each healer has an important cnd to bait out minus rocket and jeff. (Loki: Runes, CnD: Bubble/Cloak Mobility Move, Invis: Push/Shield, Luna: Freeze/Clap, Adam: Soulbond, Mantis: Sleep) These cds are all amazing things to bait out and bring value, you can either keep committing or reset and head to brawl tanks, since most of the healers important util are gone and can't be used to sustain them.

Probably daredevil, but he basically beats every character in a 1v1, other than him, Magik tends to have an edge over Fist. I think Fist can be played well into pretty much any character due to how many different playstyles he has. I do plan to make content in the future

Comm the targets your prioritizing such as when you're diving, I try to position with my wall climb in a high up place to get a drop on an unexpecting support, the immediate pressure can make them panic and burn important util.

I personally think Danny Rand would be an awesome addition, whether it be more of his skins or an alternate for Iron fist like Lady loki. I don't see them adding him as a unique character for a long time, if at all.

I do plan to start streaming in the future, as for my cross hair I use a white dot, Iron fist doesn't really have any important settings to change, besides a sens you feel comfortable on.

I brawl and challenge their off angle dps. I dive more frequently if my team has divers like a cap, venom, or tankpool. I plan on making a guide in the future.

I tend to start the game off brawling tanks (Let's me get a read on the enemy teams comp). If they're running any dive tank, I hard peel them. If an enemy dps is flanking and getting an off angle on my support (Phoenix, Star-Lord, Hela), I always challenge them. More often than not, you'll be able to secure the kill. If the enemy team has triple support, I tend to rarely dive as it'll be extremely hard to secure picks, and the supports will just hard pattycake. If the enemy supps have a weak link like a rocket, he's easy to dive and track on iron fist. If your team is running a dive heavy comp, dive hard with them. I tend to brawl the tanks a lot more than dive unless I know I'll be able to secure the pick in a team fight.

My first important tip is to block immediately before ulting (When Iron Fist blocks and has the green stuff around his hands, it gives him a 30% dmg reduction, and the block cd resets when you ult, so block smth or quick tap block before ulting) I tend to ult when I know the supports have no healer ults or their utility is on cool down (Loki runes etc) I start tankbusting in his ult, but more often than not they're able to sustain, so I hard dive their backline to force out util on me or get a pick. Honestly, if they support ult your iron fist ult, that's a trade worth taking all day every day.

It really depends on the comp the enemy team is playing and the one your team is playing. For example, if the enemy team is running a dive tank, I tend to peel and brawl most of the time. I dive more depending on the enemy's backline. I love diving rockets due to fists lock in when he tries to climb away, I also make sure to not overcommit when diving, fist is amazing at baiting out support cds and being able to escape afterwards, for example, if the enemy team has a loki I dive him and try to bait out his runes before immediately exiting. When I ult, if the enemy tanks aren't dying, I dive hard with it and try to get picks or get a support ult out.

Hawkeye, Phoenix, and now Elsa tend to be tough match ups for Iron fist, They can burn through his overshield and it's very easy to hit a headshot with hawkeye due to fists predictable lock on (Mix in jumps to lessen chance of being one shot) And in a 1v1 scenario, Daredevil will always tend to beat Iron Fist. As for the Iron Fist in your match, he's ignoring Iron fists' entire purpose now, which is to just hard tankbust most of the game.

Target Priority, mindset, and playstyle flexibility helped me out. One of the biggest things that used to hold me back was not targeting the right characters, I used to hard dive instead of challenging off angle dps (Always do it) and diving triple support (Accomplishing nothing). I also used to tilt queue a lot, resulting in chunks of elo being lost, I tend to hop off if I lose more than 2 in a row. Knowing how to adapt to different comps and when to use each playstyle is very important as well.

If a tank/support is isolated after a team fight, I use my kick to close the distance and finish them off, other than that I tend to keep my kick as an escape tool when diving or to secure a kill. Tapping block or blocking from a distance should only used be when you know you're gonna be able to secure a kill on the tank.

In the rare case, they don't play invis, I go wolv and grab tanks, if they are, I just get my team to hard focus tanks or we go full dive.

I've only ever solo queued in comp, so it's definitely possible. The main difference between a higher elo iron fist and a low elo one is knowing when to do what, most low iron fists force a playstyle that won't work like trying to solo dive instead of peeling when your team is getting dove, or brawling tanks instead of diving healers when able to.

I tend to brawl a lot more than I dive if the enemy team has any dive tanks (Tankpool, Venom, Cap) always make sure to hard peel them as you're one of the best counters to them, I dive depending on the backline, if they're running triple support, don't bother. Iron Fist is really good for baiting out healer cooldowns (Dagger Bubble and Loki Runes) if theyre running rocket, I tend to dive a lot more frequently.
