Doctrine is strong against 5 heroes
Even if Chain Hook lands, Shrouded Momentum's dash and damage reduction make it easy to escape the combo.
Eternal Scepter has no spread, so he keeps chipping the big target from mid range, where Mauga's chainguns scatter.
He keeps firing from mid range where Nemesis Form punches can't reach, and Shrouded Momentum resets the distance if Ramattra closes in.
Eternal Scepter is spread-free hitscan, so he can keep landing shots on an airborne Pharah from mid range.
Spread-free hitscan lets him reliably hit Echo from mid range, even while she's flying around.
Doctrine is weak against 4 heroes
The turret's auto-aim keeps hitting him even while he darts and flies around with Shrouded Momentum.
Deflect sends Eternal Scepter shots back, and Genji can close in while Shrouded Momentum leaves him unable to shoot.
Magnetic Grenade shuts off both Shrouded Momentum's dash and its infused flight, cutting off his escape.
Defense Matrix eats Eternal Scepter shots, and Boosters let D.Va catch him once his dash is spent.
