Threat Hero Notes
1
   No Threat
2
 Adagio Emoboy can't do much against you, but his range can be annoying if he goes WP. Use your crucible to block his ultimate for your mates.
2
 Petal Pretty harmless, use Suri Strike to switch sides once her minions get to you, and finish him with forward barrage.
2
 Skaarf You don't even need to block his ultimate or stun him, just Suri Strike behind him and watch him spin like a dog chasing his tail.
3
   No Threat
4
 Rona
4
 Ringo WP: By the time Ringo has done a decent amount of damage on you, your teammates should be done with the rest of the team.
4
 Fortress Not a danger himself, but he will make it difficult to divide the enemy team.
4
 Joule Same as Skaarf or make her miss her Thunder Strike with Suri Strike
4
 Catherine Her stun is annoying, but she will mostly use it to run away from you.
5
 Glaive He can stun you and rocket away from your chase
6
 Ringo CP: Now Achilles Shot is a serious threat, and even if you mange to survive it, he will get you Hellfire Brew.
6
 Krul WP: Pretty harmless at the begging of the game: easiest 1vs1. It will be harder to kite him as the match goes on.
6
 Taka Hopefully you have enough HP to survive his A+C combo, cause if he wastes it on you, your teammates will destroy him. CARRY TONS OF FLARES!
6
 Ardan He can save his teammates from your chase and if you get caught in his Gauntlet things are gonna get ugly for you.
7
   No Threat
8
   No Threat
9
 Koshka Just run for your life like a little girl wearing an exoskeleton (which you incidentally are...) forget your role as support and forsaken your partners, if she targets you, you are death and that's the worst for your team.
9
 Krul CP: His Death Man's Rush will give you death! His Spectral Smite will give you death! His flying sword from hell will give you double death!
10
   No Threat

Why support Skye? Top

Skye's short range and the fact that she has to lock an enemy before using any of her abilities will more often than not get her in the middle of battles where you can not allow yourself to be squishy. On the other hand, her superior mobility and fast cooldowns in abilities that can wreck havoc in the enemy teams, make her an indispensable player at the heart of the fights.

Skye can be a great carry if she carefully waits in the back for a good chance to strike. But with a couple of HP items, she can be right in the spotlight of the fights where she will see a lot more action, so let's do something gutsy!

In n' Out! Top

First of all, let's make something very clear: you support but you are not a tank! Skye is squishy and has no armor or sustain perks like most tanks should. All this items like Crucible and Shiversteel will only allow you to jump into the battlefield to lock down an enemy hero, Suri Strike to the back of their lines and then cut the enemy team in two with Death From Above, and then get out of there like a bat out of hell!

You don't get hit, you block all stuns, and you don't 'take one for the team'. Your support role is making the enemies dizzy while your carries take them down one by one.


I rarely get a decent WP from the Breaking Point, it works more as an incentive for your enemies to target you while your teammates destroy them; if they let you build stacks, it will be you who mauls them.

This support Skye dances a quick paced waltz of destruction, going in and out of battles like a lightning and that's extremely exiting!
