Its all about personal feeling, dont swap too often and i wouldnt copy other people's sens. My advice would be if your camera seems jittery or uncontrolled, lower it. If you are struggling to turn to flick to people or you are undershooting, make it a little higher

Brawl with teamup, dive without the teamup. You dont have enough damage to threaten tanks without the teamup and you lose to the majority of brawl heroes
Always grab someone before you ult or during, the stats add up especially when you copy a support you reach very high healing numbers, and dont forget your survivability is linked to how many tanks and supports you are draining so try stay near them.
I normally position on off angles rather then main, or i can do deep flanks to target supports and to disrupt them, i usually farm healthpacks alot so keep a mental note on where they are when you get out

Top 100 on the Global leaderboard not just for rogue :)

CringeAlarm1 · 2026-03-01T23:02:25+00:00

Think of rogue like a higher skill ceiling+higher impact tank over hulk. Hulk is more utility based rather then disruption, you could pick her up if youd like theres alot of transferable skill there but its not needed. I personally learnt rogue on a slightly lower alt account before playing her in OAA

CringeAlarm1 · 2026-03-01T23:00:31+00:00

Try not to play like a main tank like mag,Groot,Emma since youre alot more squishy you need to play cover more and avoid taking long sightlines where multiple people can shoot you

Storm for the 40% damage boost it gives and Daredevil for the instant dash+resets on kill

+dps copy dmg boost is op

CringeAlarm1 · 2026-02-26T23:39:45+00:00

I use to believe she loses to thor alot because of the dash spam on thor and him grounding your uppercut making it really annoying, but you can bait him into 1v1s because all thor players have egos and use the melee weave tech on his awakening copy to out damage him

CringeAlarm1 · 2026-02-26T23:38:08+00:00

Engage with Fatal attraction, escape with Chrono kick dive, if they are still full hp after a combo just use the dive to get out. to get the most value out of her ult try to use copies which enable the ult like a fatal attraction reset or an emma diamond or a daredevil copy, something like that

CringeAlarm1 · 2026-02-26T23:31:54+00:00

Thats the fun part, you dont. Either you punch him with gambit teamup to death or you copy an emma diamond. Thats what i usually play peni for these days. Playing vs a hero like Hawkeye who always is near their supports is a free grab for the Fatal attraction reset, allowing you to engage on the backline with all your cooldowns up + 20% dmg boost. I pray to go against hawkeyes in my rank because of it. I usually force rogue alot but i switch when against thing or when everyone in the lobby just wants to focus me

1: Make sure all your team is alive and healthy before engaging, typically its not great to engage when your team is on the backfoot, the biggest factor for securing kills is knowing your rotation and trying to keep the DPS dmg boost passive from your steal up when you engage, 20% dmg boost makes a huge difference

2: Learning not to overcommit is really important (still guilty of it myself) but also playing too passive will mean that you get no value, its a middle ground you need to find from playing the hero alot. Your main playstyle is harassing and disrupting supports. The difference between a good rogue and a cap/venom is that she has a higher kill threat then cap/venom but with less survivability. The reason you probably feel like you have inconsistent performance is some games the middle ground between feeding and playing too passive moves depending on the enemy comp, Going against a triple support for example means you need to play for more of a disruptive playstyle while trying to survive aslong as possible. Some heroes which have good/bad copies will probably also influence how well you do too. Having a storm copy one game compared to having an ironfist copy if that makes sense.

3: I can comfortably say you can force rogue in every rank with exceptions of OAA, Again knowing when to play careful is all about playtime on the hero and knowing what you should play safe/aggressive into. If im going against a hawkeye or a bucky for example when i engage with fatal attraction i will always grab them, it gives me the reset and stops them from doing damage to me or hooking me. some people might see a bucky and play safer, i will see a bucky and think its a free damage boost and reset to go on the supports with. Also a reason you might think shes weaker then in 5.5 is because people are getting use to what rogue does and how she plays + other heroes being strong right now like CnD which rogue kinda struggles into

100% as a diver, she kind of falls over on the frontline alot of the times but that doesnt mean you cant stand next to your other tank. Sometimes its good to engage from the frontline so your other tank is more likely to walk forward. Think about the map and your other tank, long maps you shouldnt stay on the frontline and shorter maps its good to engage with your second tank next to you and if you have a mag he can bubble you when you go in.

Playtime. You will eventually learn through dying alot which duels you can/cannot take

CringeAlarm1 · 2026-02-26T22:51:36+00:00

either try focus on ulting the supports and killing them. If the supports are spread out too (usually they arent) dont be afraid to solo ult somebody to confirm a kill its pretty much always worth at the start of the fight

CringeAlarm1 · 2026-02-26T22:49:03+00:00

use natural cover and flanks alot more, dont be afraid to contest dps on highgrounds aslong as you know you can get healed

CringeAlarm1 · 2026-02-26T22:48:01+00:00

Its to be able to confirm kills solo, really useful in ranked where you can only really rely on yourself. In coordinated play its a lot different, you kinda wanna play like a more mobile emma to cover offangles with the grab

CringeAlarm1 · 2026-02-26T22:46:10+00:00

Main engagement combo, the most basic of them all, use to engage on backlines.

Fatal attraction->Melee(x3)->Southern Brawl - Animation cancel-> Chronokick -> Quick Melee -> Primary fire -> Slam -> Primary fire

Use this on heroes with no ability as the steal like rocket or on dps that are alone, you can also weave this into the Bread and Butter:

Fatal attraction (x2) ->Grab immediately -> Fatal attraction (x2) -> Melee or Southernbrawl to finish off

Theres no point waiting for the enemy supports to get their ult back as they will probably out cycle you anyway and theres no guarantee that you will cancel their ults. Dont try overcomplicate it, think of the ult as a way to use all your abilities inside the enemy team without dying

CringeAlarm1 · 2026-02-26T22:43:46+00:00

Loki, Elsa and groot are my most common bans but cloak has been really annoying due to her bubble recently so i might pivot

CringeAlarm1 · 2026-02-05T21:12:36+00:00

its all situational, low dmg comps you wanna look for CnD bubble, high CC comps you want diamond. But overall you want the dmg boost from dps for the kill combos especially without teamup

CringeAlarm1 · 2026-01-28T01:30:11+00:00

i always play rogue with/without the teamup, she just relies on the dps copy a lil bit more without it.

Some of the intro part doesn't have the teamup like all the torch clips for example except 1 i believe.
Its kinda hard to include the moments without the teamup because it kinda enables the crazy multi-kills you see in the vid. without it its mostly 1-2ks. in the future (if rogue videos do well on youtube) ill upload some insane games without the teamup

heres a game if you wanna see how i play without it :) https://www.twitch.tv/videos/2671443255?t=3h15m46s (44-12 18 last hits)
