How you should play with Breach
If you play Breach, then you will always be behind your teammates. All of his abilities are aimed at helping allies get into the site, and preventing opponents from killing. You don't have to go first, or vice versa, play far away from the team like a lurker. Always be close to your teammates, especially those who play duelists.
On defense, try to stay on the retakes to help your team push the opponents out of position and defuse the spike without too much difficulty. Always communicate with your teammates, because without communication, Breach and his abilities become less useful. It is most convenient, of course, to play with a friend, and for example, occupy one of the sites. Then the chance that your rivals will capture it will be above average.
Breach Weakness
Breach's weakness is that he is very predictable. Everyone knows what he needs to use his abilities. Therefore, experienced players have already learned to avoid the effect of his abilities during the time. Fracture, Split and Haven are the best maps for Breach, the worst - Icebox, Breeze and Bind.
