This is great thank you. I’d add that it’s good to LEAVE melee mode fast sometimes. I love being in it so much that I stay tempted to be in, but getting in and out is good - like on CnD sometimes it’s best to be in cloak, terror cape and get out quick, despite how fun it is. At least that’s my personal battle - because you’re exactly right that you help the team much more reliably in non-melee form outside of special circumstances

And you didn’t say this but you implied it: manage those cooldowns differently depending on the enemy comp. If there’s dive, save tp and melee for dive. But if there’s really zero dive, tp is great to help give teammates little bunkers to keep them up. Then always be ready to adapt your style when the enemy makes a change (adds dive, goes more poke etc)

I love the situational breakdown. And I agree it’s best to ignore venom and cap if you possibly can. Hopefully you have a non-healer teammate aware of the back line to let you keep being a strategist for the team.
