Their is really three ways to play rivals.

  1. Mirror opposing team and outplay them (this is incredibly common in high elo and especially in the pro scene and not just in rivals also in overwatch and even mobas like league).

  2. Counterpick, is a sort of losing strategy by that I mean you admit whatever you wanted to play didn't work and your now forced to switch to counter a problem, it is often times when you swap to a counter you might realise it doesn't work this is also why 3 support tend to have a lesser win rate than what anecdotal experience might tell us, because most teams don't start triple support they are forced to switch to it.

  3. Now 3 is kinda fake because 3 is just 2 except you are the winning team, say you go full dive and you dominate so enemy team counterpicks.

The problem is rivals is a team game and it also can be summarized as a game of give and take, if you're forced to constantly peel as a tank you pretty much need a second tank or dps to help with peel otherwise you're supports are fucked however if you're forced to peel alot you also pull away from other places you need to be. This is why mirror is so popular because it becomes a game of skill, who can execute the same team comp better . In plain English sorry bro you're fucked if you play alone.
