People won't even heal out of combat because of the self healing passive. Like bro, take ult charge

I've heard enough, we should nerf Genji and buff Jetpack Cat.

my problem with a lot of guides is that either the advice is super polarizing, or the advice is just fencesitting. good advice ISN'T about the right answer, it's about recognizing the question and surrounding context.

as a support main i do damage until my teammates need healing. then i heal. then back to damage.

I think the “just play who you’re comfortable with” mentality is fine to a point. Like if youre playing junk and theyre on pharah echo you should swap or youre probably throwing

I sincerely thank you for addressing chat manners... I play on console and am BAFFLED at how much time some of these players take to text shitty messages to their own teammates. Or (hilariously) to dump on the opposing team while their team is losing 😂

Completely agree, and it's frustrating for people trying to climb (myself included) to hear so many conflicting advices. This helps!

As Kiriko I do DPS, because I want them to fear me when they see me, I want to be able to see the tank coming over on me because their dps fear me

One of the realest and truest videos I’ve seen in a while. Your first point hit home so hard. A lot of people have convinced themselves to always blame themselves for any and every loss even when the scoreboard literally communicates what happened. There was a ranked match on Ilios I had a few weeks ago where I went 26-4 on Dmon. We lost the match.

I look at the scoreboard and we had a 4-12 Symmetra. Literally the only one on the team who went negative due to lack of good positioning and bad target priority. Anyone who says that this metric “doesn’t tell the whole story” is just plain delusional. But I’ve done what you said to do: just stay quiet and say “gg go next” to myself.

Im surprised people say that aim doesn't matter. Like what? If I miss my shot on a one-tap enemy and then they hide behind a wall and get healed up, then they ult and win a fight then thats on me. I missed a shot. If I killed them that wouldnt have happened. Ofc aim matters

I really like the one about enjoying your character. I can't imagine picking a hero and trying to climb if I don't like that hero

Basically, support means you're dealing supportive damage.

it always the Genji

Ahh you almost got me. I was thinking "wow maybe I don't heal enough" but then I remembered advice #1, it's actually my teammates who are taking too much damage!

all tips in a short:

1. you could play better that one game where you had 2/11 ashe with 3k dmg and support lucio who spent whole game looking for boop. but lets be honest, that game was lost from the start.
2. guess who will win: medium distanse, me on mercy keeping crosshair on your head or you on mauga using both guns and swinging left right insted of aiming?
3. what's the point in picking meta, pro characters like tracer if you can't use them? don't wear your mom's clothes because they are pretty, wear yours because their fit.
4. in 5v5 tank is strong, but not invincible. don't be a werhaboo in OW, don't pick mauga and charge into 5 solo. enemy also has a tank btw.
5. you play ana. will you heal your duo tank that got scratched by a bullet, DPS that's on half HP of shoot enemy team? this question is a test if you're a silver or above.
6. its a game, its made for fun. rank is cool but not at the cost of actual mental. unless you're unemployed ofc.
7. ok, here guy says "stop watching guides". i'll just say its half bullshit, half truth. guide will only give you theory

I do understand the “everything is your fault” mentality. If I’m in plat and that means my teammates are plat, then I have to play better than a plat player to earn the next rank. If I don’t then I deserve to be plat. If I play at a higher level than plat players, which is what my team and the enemy team consist of, and I do that consistently, then I would climb. Can the matchmaking be bad for a few games? Absolutely, but it’s never THAT bad that every game you get is your teammates holding you back. You could have 6 games in a row with absolute creatures on your team, but you take a high rank player and give them a fresh account they will not be stuck in plat. At worst it slows your progress but there’s zero value in even discussing it given that it doesn’t have a consistent enough impact on if you will climb or not. The nuance goes both ways. Do games exist where your teammates hold you back? Yes. Is it true that if you have the skill and game sense of a top 500 player you will climb? Yes. The difference is that focusing on the mistakes you are making in your own gameplay can result in you actually improving and therefore has value. Pointing out the games your teammates held you back has zero value. You being better than the plat lobby you are in gives your team the advantage in most of your plat games.

Definitely a great video, I was thinking that I heal too much and not damaging enough. Just thowing myself to get more damage for naught.
Your channrel deserve way more keep going

Former Pro here the best way to get good at video games is to play the game. If this is one of your first ever FPS train your aim for hit scan and projectile and that doesn't mean get 10k hours in aim labs that means play the game so much that it comes second nature where to aim. Over time Overwatch a great game a tell people if they want better mnk aim cause its constantly aiming. I see so many people come from valorant or csgo and they are terrible aim in overwatch cause its a different aiming style. Also get a group of friends or join a stack from discord these people are going to take the game more seriously then joe who just got off his 10 hour shift and prob drank 4 beers before hoping on. He doesn't care about winning or losing and a lot of these people just want to rage bait a lot of joe's in plat-masters. This doesn't mean get hard carried you should always look to be in the middle of the pack if your the worst that means the rank is to high and if your fragging out every game that means you need to climb. By the time you hit GM that's when aim training and positioning and overall  game sense is needed but by then you should have thousands of hours into overwatch or rivals and you know rights to wrongs and the ins and outs of the game.

I never got that do dps as supp thing. The only right thing is keep looking for demage windows when everyone is fulllife you can do dps but if some eats dps you shoud start heal

OMG THANK YOU FOR THAT ADVICE ABOUT RANK NOT MEANING SHIT, SO MANY SWEATY MFs ON OWTWT AND OWYT THAT TREAT THE GAME AS SOMETHING TO GRIND AND FORGET ABOUT THE FACT THAT IT'S A GAME, AND IS ENTERTAINMENT.
