Mid-Game

This is about the point where you'll start seeing the carries on their team stick out more. Keep an eye out for who hurts, and maybe consider picking up one of the right-most options so you don't immediately get nuked for a single mistake.

Healing Tempo is optional, but it does help with tankiness, alongside making Lifestrike restore more health on hit. Do keep in mind that heavy melees in late game can be risky unless you're REALLY ahead.

MOST IMPORTANT!

Don't forget to have fun with this. Also don't expect to win, but if you do, be a good sport. That way they'll remember you as that funny Holliday player that made a dumb strat kinda work.

P.S.

I had to stop myself from calling this the "Small Abrams" build.
