How do I Hyper Ring?

What are you meant to do with this beyond a quick start out the spawn area?

It has a ton of uses, basically just keep your eyes open for opportunities.

Like when your tank wants to engage, for example if your Rein shatters, or if Dva/Mei/etc ult, it’s a great escape, or just in general to help a team mate disengage.

Yep, what redrum said. Engaging and retreating are the best ways to use it.

You can double jump do that and use ring it’s great at combat.

Also use it for.your tank to back out.

I typically use it for my team when an enemy uses their Ult. For example, an enemy Hanzo, Sombra or Orisa.

I also use it during my own teammates Ult. For example, a friendly Mei, Reaper or Mauga. Even Orbital Ray is better with the Hyper Ring.

When a Tank a low on health, i will launch the Hyper Ring to give them an added advantage.

I also use it on myself when Im in trouble or my Glide is still cooling down. Works well as an alternative mobility enhancer.

Lastly, sometimes I use it as a decoy against enemies, just to confuse them. Seems to help in some situations. :+1::ring::next_track_button:

  • many uses from putting it in chokes for your team to move faster on a push or backing up.

  • Combo with a ult like hog to make them move faster and get to the enemy quicker.

  • using it to cross high ground easier for some hero’s that can’t

  • getting from spawn faster

  • helping your team avoid game losing situations like dva bombs or other ults that they just don’t pay attention to, but the problem is don’t expect people to notice these small things people don’t notice the intricacies of certain plays

The worst part of juno i’ve seen though is their ultimate, people just walk out of it legit walk out of the circle and die right outside of it then you will get them after match saying healer diff or other crap and it’s just like you wanna slap your head on the desk because you can’t make this stuff up of how like
 idk the word some people play like but it’s just frustrating.

Interjecting it in team fights gives your team an edge, also when you see they wanna disengage, heal them and give them a little boost.

Other people have covered most of the rest. Rein initiating with a speed boost is freaking terrifying.

In addition to what others have said, keep in mind that you and allies within 5m get the boost when you activate the ability even without touching the ring. Sometimes that’s more important than the ring itself. For example if your cosupport is getting dove, activating your ring can provide them with instant mobility regardless of where you put it.

Imo it’s too esoteric and passive to plan anything with, good tanks shouldn’t need speed boost to help them out of a situation as they should have mentally plotted the dangers when they engaged

Use it everytime you make a play, which should be all the time unless they have a widow.

You can shoot the ring a certain distance and effectively force your teammates to get the speed boost. I don’t expect my teammates to look for and use rings, I deploy them so that Rein/Ram/Zarya/Reaper/Mei/Bastion/Ana/etc. enjoy extra speed without having to do anything differently from normal.

It’s perfectly fine to not grant the entire team speed boost. Sometimes all you need to do is speed the tank and that’s still a good use of the ability.

ADAD Strafe, avoid enemies, encourage teammates to push in. Any number of things.

It’s impossible to see through to shoot the enemies is why i move out of it.
If i can’t see the enemies, they can dive me.
The devs should make the ult easier to see through and maybe folks would use it more.

If they have mobile heroes you have to save it to peel yourself a lot of the time just avoid the habit of using it directly on yourself since you can still speed your team while getting the boost. Look to enable your team’s aggression especially with ults like blossom, visor, blade, high noon while doing the same to kite their ults.

Think of it as a giant utility lamp.

Throw it at allies and watch em go. Or throw it at your feet to improve your gameplay.

Easy enough.

Don’t be fooled with its animation of “shooting” its more of a straight toss.

Yes! You can shoot the ring projectile through teammates to apply speed to them without having to touch the ring

Problem is Tanks never back off. They just chage in and die. People in ten years still don’t know how to play
