When to Pick
Choke-heavy maps where grenade spam is unavoidable like Eichenwalde and King's Row. On defense where Steel Trap and Concussion Mine control flanking routes. Against grouped brawl comps that walk into your damage. When you need consistent area denial and barrier break.
When to Avoid
Against Pharah who flies over your ground-level spam entirely. Against mobile dive comps that spread out and dodge grenades easily. On open maps with no chokes to spam effectively. When your team needs hitscan to deal with aerial threats in the sky.
