Dynamo Ability Point Order
If you are playing Dynamo and feel betrayed by your teammates for no help during your ultimate, it is because you should use the ultimate only when it is a must. That is why, with Dynamo, you max your heal and stun first.
With the heal at max, you can 1v1 easily with a healing advantage while you shoot. Moreover, the T2 stun will help you deal more bullet damage once struck the enemies with it.
Ensure you upgrade your Quantum Entanglement after the 3rd and 1st skill is maxed out. Once your entanglement is upgraded, you will get an even higher fire rate, complimenting your strong gun build. Use AP on your ultimate towards the end to secure the objectives.
