Type: Attacker
Thatcher is a great operator to pick at any given circumstance. Most, if not all, of defending operators have electronic devices that fortify their defenses. Thatcher can send the defending team back to the Stone Age as EMP grenades just destroys everything electronic caught in its very considerable range.
The usual question is this, which disables which first, Thatcher’s EMP or Jager’s Magpie. The answer is, IT DEPENDS.
Jager VS Thatcher
Jager’s Magpie disables grenades within its “sight”. Meaning, if the EMP is out of the Magpie’s range, the Magpie will not be able to disable it. But this does not mean that the EMP will disable the Magpie, the Magpie should be within the EMP’s range for the former to be disabled. What does this mean? Corners, detonation behind the walls (the EMP effect goes through walls), and obstructive views will protect the EMP from the Magpie. Otherwise, the Magpie will just disable the EMP. |
While Thatcher has a natural synergy with IQ, they basically overlap in function. They are both utility operators that are not versatile. It is fun for both IQ and Thatcher to be together, but the team suffers from versatility when both exists. Not unless either one of the player choosing IQ and Thatcher are very good players, and there extraordinary communication between teammates. Of which rarely happens on casual sessions.
