The number one thing to remember while playing Doctor Strange is that you are the one who sets the tempo and positioning of your team by being on the frontlines.
Pentagram of Farallah is a great ability to not only reposition your team to a more favorable spot but to also engage enemies using an unexpected teleport.
Your shield is also a great way to gain space and approach enemies as you can become a bullet blocker long enough for your team to get close. This also goes for Duelists playing with Doctor Strange – if yours has their shield up walking and taking space, capitalize on it.
His ult too is a great tool to combo with other high burst damage ults in the game, namely Scarlet Witch’s Reality Erasure, to almost instantly win a teamfight.
