Precise placement is everything for McGinnis, whether she's creating a killzone or splitting the enemy team. She can help keep her team running making them hard to dislodge when entrenched.

A build attempting to keep turrets viable.

January 2: Chat. They killed specter. Well, okay, "killed" might be a little harsh, but it was after playing a bunch of games post-nerf that I realized how much of a crutch it had been for me and my turrets. Meanwhile, ult is powerful again, and all the speed nerfs plus Heavy Barrage increased slow... yeah so this is a Turret + Ult build now, instead of Turret + Specter. This build is likely gonna see some major revisions over the next few days as the dust settles, so strap in.
