My other links like my twitch and discord server can be found here: linktr.ee/andriatic List of timestamps: 00:00 - Introduction 00:45 - Ana 2:14 - Baptiste 3:26 - Brigitte 5:10 - Kiriko 6:11 - Lifeweaver 7:03 - Lucio 7:50 - Mercy 10:31 - Moira 11:25 - Zenyatta 12:51 - Outro I wanted to try something a little different and expand my content slightly, so I decided to make a simple guide consisting of tips for every Support hero. I should add a disclaimer that although I do play all supports and have played all of them in competitive at a Grandmaster level, Baptiste and Lucio specifically are my lesser played supports, which is why their tips are rather simple. I would like to start working on these 2 heroes more though so I can more confidently give proper advice related to them. All other supports I'm fully comfortable and confident on. None the less I hope these tips are helpful and I hope you enjoyed the video! Please excuse that the background is both PC and Console gameplay, I tried to use clips that would be relevant to the tips, so I used recent gameplay from both platforms.

Tree of Life has so many uses it's very fun. Yes mostly you think of it as an ult to heal your team midfight but I've used to block highnoons by placing it right in front of McCree or teammates i want to save, to block Los after grav, to cancel Sigmas ult (you can cancel it by placing the tree right in the middle of his void ult), or to block rein shatter (once accidentally, im not good at reacting to his ult ha). So it can be very versatile!

@aegerman6317 Жыл бұрын
I feel like too many Ana tip guides brush over the scoped shot as this situational thing that you need to be super careful with. While that is somewhat true, you should *always* be looking to put yourself in a position where you can hold the scope for as long as possible. Quick scoping and no scoping are suboptimal shots that you should be able to fall back on when you’re in a suboptimal position, not shots that you should be wanting to use frequently. I’m not saying this in contradiction to your tip, just a deeper exploration of it because I see way too many Anas way too close to the fight because they’re afraid to use the hard scope
@Andriatic Жыл бұрын
I agree overall, but my tip is mostly for those that hard neglect quick scoping which I personally think is an important aspect of her kit. I do think positioning is the most important part of Ana and it’s def one many players struggle with but didn’t include that in the video cus I already chose to talk about positioning for brig and honestly Ana positioning mistakes/do’s and don’ts is a whole vid on its own lol

Small general tip I have for low rank supports as well, shooting the enemy and healing your team has its own balance to value, healing too much is missed out damage and that damage could have prevented your team from taking damage. On the flip side, healing your team is part of your responsibility, do heal when necessary. Ofc mercy will be blue beaming/healing more while zen players shoot more but each hero has their own balance that you must find.

I disagree that Bap's Regen Burst is instant as there will be times you will die middle of the animation related to the skill... So basically, it is not instant, but pretty fast. Similar case with Brig, but this time the shield isn't tied to animation, but the fact it isn't a frame 1 shield like Reinhardt's shield.
@Andriatic Жыл бұрын
Once it activates it’s instant but it has an initial wind up animation from when you hit the button just like Ana’s sleep dart for example (Bap raises his fist then closes it, and then Regen activates) IF it activates, then the healing is either a burst of 50 or 100 HP based on your targets health which is instantly applied to the target which is what I am referring to.

Something I always see mercy players do is Rez from the first angle they get to. That is just shifting to a soul and pressing the button immediately. But you have 360° around the souls to choose from. Maybe rezzing from behind or to the side of a soul will give you more cover. You can even rez from above or below. You can often Rez from awkward angles making retaliation from the enemy team impossible.

@Andriatic Жыл бұрын
This was actually removed a while back! The patch in the Ow2 beta that made it so that his healing is stronger in LowHP targets also removed the double healing for bap. Here is the Quote from those patch notes: “This change helps reinforce Baptiste as a Support hero that can save allies in clutch moments. This new functionality is intended to synergize with Immortality Field, allowing for faster recovery after saving his allies (or himself!) from imminent danger - Now heals for 50 instantly and 50 over time, instead of 100 over time. Additionally, the instant heal portion will be doubled on targets that are 50% or lower health. (Please note that we are aware of an issue where this ability is not updated on the hero information screen)** - No longer heals Baptiste for double”
