If you try to dive Furia, you'll get a pyre beam straight to the face. Furia suffers from the fact that her damage is short range, so the further you are away from Furia, the bigger your advantage against Furia.
If you suspect Mal'Damba has his ult ready, try to space yourself a bit from the rest of your team. Dread Serpent will knock you out of the air if you're flying, and its hitbox persists for a few seconds after it triggers.
The educated Strix player knows not to attack you when you're in Counter. The key to getting him is to fight fire with fire and be as stealthy and sneaky as possible; and be ready to react when he inevitably pulls out his sidearm.
Wait for Ruckus to trigger his shield then hook him, it will ensure you dont get hit by the slow and that his weapons resets which equals to less damage taken.
Do not activate the ultimate when Fernando shields up, he will not even get "tickled" when you do so. Try to ultimate him when he just puts down his shield and has under 60% of health.
