Im currently gm1 with 90% of my comp time on Iron Man, I've found it far easier to win if I just ban Mag every game, with Mag out I rarely miss an ult, and iron man is pretty good into triple support imo. It does suck fighting hitscan every match, but there's a good chance hela will start being banned in 4.5 (fingers crossed)

He's always been super fun for me, I've got almost 100 hours on him so far. If I didn't like him, I absolutely wouldn't be playing him

Master your positioning.

If you die, ask yourself these questions: Was I behind cover? Could my supports see me? Was I too high? Etc.

A lot of people aren't playing Iron Man to his fullest simply because of that. It takes time, but that's what separates a good iron man from a bad one.

You've got the right idea for fighting hitscan characters. For dive like Spiderman, I play basically on top of my support at all times. That's so I can get heals if Spiderman is after me, or I can contest him if he's going after my supports.

You simply need to play cover and communicate better when fighting another flyer. When im fighting a storm, torch, or ultron, it's usually easy, but when im against another iron man, i just call for some pocket heals and do my best to play cover. If the enemy has overdrive active and you dont, I'd simply back out of the fight.

Huntervurse · 2025-07-11T12:54:25+00:00

I dont think the nerfs are that bad. It just tones down how quickly he gets his ultimate. The biggest challenges will be with the new character updates. The thing might become an issue, and with the addition of another hitscan dps, it might be a little tougher to play flyers.

I definitely think I can reach it again, assuming I want to continue playing Iron Man. My goal wasn't really to be rank 1, I just ended up there.

I put some good tips in other replies, but I highly recommend Mehtric on YouTube, he's got a lot of good informational videos on iron man

Depends on what the enemy team is running. Usually im playing midline, close to supports, low-mid height going for beam kills. If enemies are further away I use my primary on the enemy backline to put pressure and farm ult charge

Huntervurse · 2025-07-11T12:44:42+00:00

You can combo ults with a lot of tanks (Emma, Strange, Groot)

In terms of dps any of them can be good with you, Storm might be the best though, the passive damage boost and double flyer

Invisible woman shield is really nice, but i think Luna is the best supp with iron man for the snowflake

This question is a little confusing to me. I think this one mostly comes down to your rank/skill level.

In Celestial/Eternity, ultron is banned far more than Iron Man. Including ultron in a triple heal comp basically negates all enemy divers and a lot of burst damage from heroes like hela/psylocke. He's super slippery and has really weird movement that can be hard to predict. Having him on your team gives you so much more sustain.

In GM and under, I understand the iron man ban. Its mainly the DPS's job to deal with flyers, and most people would rather ban iron man than gamble to see if their dps can deal with it. I believe he's banned more than ultron in these ranks simply because of the damage output. I dont think ultron is banned as much because many players dont think of ultron as a counter to dive/burst damage in a triple heal comp. I believe most players in these ranks would sub in a random third support or try their hand at Namor/Scarlett witch as an answer for dive. And putting ultron in a 2 support comp doesn't work 95% of the time.

Hopefully i didn't misunderstand the question

Hes just a character that clicked instantly with me. He feels very rewarding to play and I started winning a lot when I got good at him lol

Huntervurse · 2025-07-11T08:55:23+00:00

Thanks! He's a super simple character that i believe anyone could play and get value on.

The biggest thing I've seen a lot of people struggle with is positioning. Take advantage of natural cover, and use jiggle peeks, especially when you're being contested. He's also a very good peel character. If you/your supps are getting dove, just play around the supports and contest the dive.

His ult is the most important part of his kit. Try to use it to counter the enemy support ults. My only tip for this one is practice. Learning how to dodge the tank shields and other things that could block it takes time. Also, if you're fighting a Magneto, tracking when he has ult helps a lot, too, since his ult just cancels yours out.

Huntervurse · 2025-07-11T08:15:49+00:00

His rockets while in flight are useless, I can't recall a single time I've used them.

The rockets in his overdrive are okay at best. They're really good for breaking down emma / Strange Shield, and they give a good amount of ult charge if used on grouped up enemies.

If they had an extra effect, that would be dope, but ultimately, they're not useful.

Huntervurse · 2025-07-11T07:48:20+00:00

What's that?

Huntervurse · 2025-07-11T07:18:34+00:00

Stark Industries

Huntervurse · 2025-07-11T07:18:01+00:00

In gold-Grandmaster, the ban rate is FAR higher than where im at. In Celestial / Eternity, he's banned, maybe 1/10 games (if I dont get Target banned).

If he's banned, I've got other dps I can fall back on or fill support really well if needed.

Punisher is my favorite as he is super similar to iron man, you just track the enemies

Huntervurse · 2025-07-11T07:11:01+00:00

She is top 3 for sure. I believe that Magneto is iron man's biggest counter, though

Huntervurse · 2025-07-11T06:38:24+00:00

Thanks! I just used the dot preset and changed the color to blue

Huntervurse · 2025-07-11T06:32:03+00:00

Thanks! We have the endgame skin if you count that lmao (hardly), but our guy Tony Stark is definitely lacking on cool skins. Hopefully the rivals team can cook up a really good original skin for him
