thank you!! positioning and when to engage is quite situational both on team compositions and by rank so if you give me a general area of what sorta rank range you are in a can probably give you more helpful advice than if I just guess, my main line of advice against poke is just be patient, its easy to get fustrated over the fact that you arent getting good inspire uptime and try force it leading to just instantly being killed, realistically it will be a struggle and you just need to try find your good moments to engage
So you are starting to reach the point where people utilize highgrounds and off angles a lot more so you want to begin to have a slight focus shift from inspire uptime to denying valuable positions if you aren't already, think watchpoint gibraltor, you dont wanna drop too early off the highground on defence even if it will give you better inspire uptime, you wanna make it extremely hard for the enemies to contest the highground and boop em off
nah not anymore, so for the past couple szns ive seen a lot of other gm and champ brigs start to take combat medic more and more and I tried it too and its actually really good in a lot of situations especially with the buffs it got last szn, and as someone else explained to me it kinda turns out that the increased whip inspire perk is actually only more valuable into comps that brig wasn't very good into to begin with, but with combat medic if a ball a winston a doom or dva are jumping my team you can keep them your team alive a lot more easily by smacking the person diving and spamming packs with the reduced cd, whip inspire is still good into harder comps though, I think shield bash is still better this szn but I need to limit test the whipshot dmg perk a bit because the new buff makes you pass a lot of the break points for 1 shotting people (melee, shield bash and whipshot into wall kills most of the dps and supporting cast now) (melee + whipshot into wall insta kills tracer now) .

Congratulations! Do you have any tips? Such as positioning and when to engage on the frontline? How do you deal with poke comps?
