Montagne myths

Montagne > Noor. Reversed: Noor's lance is built to beat shields and was buffed vs shields in Y11S3.2.
Montagne loses a 1v1 with the plant down (as a bug). Expected: extended he cannot shoot, he covers the planter; collapsed he is a slow 1v1 fighter.

Key Montagne facts (Y11S3)

Extended Le Roc gives full frontal cover up to 80°, can block doorways; Montagne cannot shoot or interact while extended.
Noor's Horus Lance burrows through Le Roc and burns him until he breaks guard to pull it; Y11S3.2: lance drill time 1.5 s (from 2), guard break vs shields 100% (from 30%), impact 80 dmg. (since Y11S3.2)
Clash's taser makes shield operators move the shield aside and slows him further.
Gas (Smoke), Gu mines, Echo/Ela concussion, Bandit wire, Frost mats, Oryx dash, and Nitro/Impacts from above or below get around the shield.
Pro presence: played in 8% of all rounds in SiegeGG-tracked matches (time window not stated, likely cumulative, so older operators are favoured). (since siege.gg, read 2026-10-20)
