Just played a match with Bebop and I felt very limited by my powerset. It was great at first, me and my lane buddy were dominating the game. Most pushes, most kills, most souls. But once the game got to the teamfight phase, it all fell apart. The enemies stayed as far from me as they could, and I couldn’t get enough burst damage in with my hook before they ran away, and they usually had better move speed than me. It felt like my only good ability at that point was the hyper beam. And sure, I was surprisingly survivable in 1v1s, and the hyper beam could really help a push, but any time the hyper beam was on cooldown I felt like I could do nothing unless I caught an enemy alone.

How do y’all play bebop in the midgame? Are there any upgrades that make up for bebop’s weaknesses? I followed the suggested build up until I started getting my ass kicked, then switched to lifesteal. Lady Gheist and Shiv were the biggest pains in my butt.

    He’s actually one of the strongest heroes in team fights. You don’t necessarily need to deal that much damage, but your one job is to hook enemies out of position and drag them into your team so they can finish him off.

    If you rush mystic power and burst damage you should be dealing a ton of damage per bomb. I’ve seen builds that can guarantee a kill by double bombing with echo shard and there’s nothing you can do about it aside from stronger defense items.
