had one of the luckiest games i've played in a while.
landed drill site - immediately jump onto an l-star and blue armor. a mirage probably didn't see this and assumed i just ran into the room. i tossed down a canister for good measure, but mirage had popped the door open so the canister just kept it open and i couldn't close it. he was already shooting me but he had no shields, so i cut him down pretty easily, except now i had no shields. two other teams were there and fighting while our team was spread out. took care of the mirage and went out to knock down a shieldless bangalore and a bloodhound with no health who had just thirsted our bloodhound. was briefly the kill leader as a result and grabbed some purple armor and got the respawn off for our bloodhound. we flew in to mirage voyage and then to thermal.
bloodhound never got off his heals so at the train station at thermal, he was getting healed up when another team jumped us. i tossed canisters down in the big building, and our octane ran circles around two of their team members while a wraith followed our weakened bloodhound inside. she even ran through the gas and we fought to a stalemate when neither one of us had much health left (i had a small sliver). tossed down a canister and a frag grenade and the gas was what did it.
more fighting, this time at sorting factory. we take a pathfinder's zipline up to the roundhouse overlooking tree, and there was a team with a wattson, a wraith, and the pathfinder who was probably already dead, because their wraith set up a portal to a revive station. when she came back through, bloodhound and i cut her down, and the wattson appeared briefly to realize just what a problem she was in, but probably picked up the wraith's banner. i think she was trying to get the respawn off right below that roundhouse because she was down there for a while, but it was not in the circle, so she probably just wound up sustaining a lot of damage. octane had split away and gotten himself killed, and bloodhound went after him and got the respawn off, somehow. i thought i'd take care of the wattson on my own, but absolutely whiffed every single shot and she knocked me instead. and then... instead of killing me right away, the wattson tried punching me. it was probably because she was solo at that point and didn't want to draw attention to herself. bloodhoud came in and killed her, with almost no health left at the end of the engagement.
octane takes wattson's stuff, and now we're all set to go against two other teams. there's a mirage sentinel sniping, but octane throws down his ultimate and we get in close. i l-star him to death and octane takes his gold armor. we don't know who's left, but now we're up on the outskirts of dome and sorting factory. there's a drop in the lava, and i trade out my l-star for a devotion. this sparks the interest of a bangalore who probably thought i was solo, comes down to eat a gas grenade and a shitload of energy ammo from my shiny new devotion. while octane and bloodhound surprise her by existing.
not the scrappiest of fights, especially with three 3-on-1 matches at the end there, but it was a constant struggle and it felt real good to get that w in the end.
