D.MonYour swap: MizukiSituationalMobile frontline pressure and a frontal barrier let D.Mon contest Mizuki's space without giving them easy angles.
Don't trade into D.Mon's barrier. Support from off-angles and wait for your team to break the barrier before pushing.

GenjiYour swap: MizukiSituationalMobility lets Genji keep pace with Mizuki and continue pressure through attempted disengages.
Genji can chase your disengage. Stay near your team and keep your defensive tools until he commits to you.
Timing and team support matter. Binding Chain punishes Genji's mobility, while Kekkai Sanctuary can absorb shuriken during his engage.
WinstonYour swap: MizukiSituationalMobility lets Winston keep pace with Lúcio and continue pressure through attempted disengages.
Winston can keep up with you. Wall ride away from his bubble and use Soundwave to knock him off your team's backline.
Control and peel punish Winston's committed engage and make it harder to escape after diving.
HanzoPressures MizukiExposedLong-range burst and sightline pressure punish Mizuki whenever they expose predictable movement.
Avoid long sightlines and predictable paths. Move between cover so Hanzo can't pre-aim your position.

HOW THE COURT SCORES IT
Hero Pool Score: practical matchup coverage, balanced against every 2-, 3- and 4-hero pool in your role. Each size gets equal weight. The score combines that standing with your actual coverage, so being a great pair does not hide big gaps. It is a matchup guide, not a promise of wins. Season 5 includes conditional kit inferences for new and reworked heroes; this percentile compares the listed graph, not observed match results.
Coverage: Strong threats count for 1 point, Good for ½ and Situational for ¼. Your best listed answer covers all, half or a quarter of a threat respectively. Conditional answers help, but do not erase a weakness. Shared threats count for each hero they pressure.
Among pools your size: the secondary percentile shows how efficiently you use your slots. Top 10% means your coverage beats roughly nine out of ten pools with the same role and number of heroes. Ties share a rank.
Next heroes: the first option brings the largest useful gain against your current threats. The second offers different coverage. Each must also improve the coverage rate of the resulting pool, including its new weaknesses. With four picks, we test replacements and name the hero to swap out. Options are alternatives, not a promise that both belong in the same pool.
Map, execution and team composition still matter. Missing matchups are unknown, not proof of safety.
