3 losses in a row seems pretty accurate for this meta lmao

@Curoar_Warrior 7 months ago

Confirming that the Quick Play Demons are real.

me with 800 hours of ana ready to discover what ive been doing wrong the last 8 years

@THiZZyHNDRXX 7 months ago

these updated guides are the best rn

These games were rough lol. Accurate portrayal of my games.

Hearing your thoughts about what is and isn't in your control was super interesting. I tend to tilt with frustrating games, but hearing you rationalise stuff like Genji is just gonna kill you and it's not a skill/team issue is super helpful

Haven't watched the full video yet, but 1 comment said "3 losses in a row pretty accurate for this meta lmao" if you indeed lost all 3 games in a row, I really really love to see you still uploading the video, because others would have played until having atleast 1 pop off game, yet you managed to explain ana in big detaile, love the format <3

I like that even if he loses he shows it, so real and honest. Even in defeat there is to learn arguably even more so. And he talks about his mistakes two and doesn't just cut it out, that's so good to see to know more about how the hero should be played

headhunter has literally saved my life more than once. just a couple days ago i was about to die to a winston, unlocked my major perk, quickly picked it between shots, and double tapped him in the head then he was dead. sometimes i'll leave my major unpicked until i get dove so it doesnt show on the scoreboard and i can catch them off guard mid-duel lmao

Best OW2 video on a character yet. It showed authenticity and that's real. I don't want to see quick tips and then people waiting til they get a game that is purely a highlight reel. I'm subscribing

Glad to know Im not the only one that this happens to when I play Ana 🤣

@1augh0utL0UD 5 months ago

don't worry, my friend and I played last night and we had about 12 loses in a row. But we were also drinking hahaha

@PeterDB90 7 months ago

Lowkey, these loss games are still valuable because you can see even at high levels of play if the conditions are not right for a specific hero, mechanical skill won't save you, it's best to just swap.
At my ranks (high silver to low gold) 80% of the time you don't have an enemy team that hard focuses you so you're able to do work and get value out of Ana, but at higher ranks it seems unless the rest of your team builds around you, the Ana is not gonna be very useful because she can be countered.

This is great refresher. I was a hardcore Ana back in OW1 and was the main healer for my friends. Years later with a different group I'm going to be their healer now.

Being okay with losses is the best way to enjoy overwatch.

@ricoshitjoestar9257 7 months ago

I don't know if this is as good as the 1 tip series but I'm sure as hell it's great ✋️❤️

@zsarnicholai5760 6 months ago

There's a confirm nano option for Ana specifically in settings that is really nice. It let's you designate a target for nano, then you press it again to use it (you don't have to be looking right at them for the confirm)

I feel like playing Ana has made some improvement on how I play OW in general, thanks for your tips, I think I feel more confident on playing her in rankeds
