Exactly, they think they deserve Plat but they're playing in a way where they know the enemy does not have the skill to reliably shoot you. This person 100% would not survive Plat 5.

This looks alot like console, so it would make sense that they don't even try to aim at the pharah 😂

​@@koto2211Bro would not survive gold 3 where some people are capable of looking up. I would know, im gold dps :P despite being Masters tank.

Ground pharah is way funnier imo it's like calling a ground Lucio floorcio

floora

@@ZaWrldo I wasn’t saying one was funnier than the other 🤷🏻‍♀️

They didn't even play "barely better". Half the team fights THEY were the one making it a 4v5 in the enemy favor. They were not timing their engages, zoning areas, pressuring the right targets. Their biggest contribution was killing turrets and hitting generic spam damage - which will get you pretty far in silver but not far enough to rank up anytime soon.

Agreed. Back when I was climbing through plat the game fucked up and put me in a silver 1 game on havana. We steamrolled through with 3 mins left and then I went widow and killed the supports out of spawn to the point they left. I felt bad but comp is comp, I can't control the atrocious matchmaking

​@@Real_MisterSirdon't forget they literally ran away from both megas and minis that were safely accessible

They don't have any mechanics on Pharah. They managed to successfully conc themselves out of harms way like what, once or twice? They were utterly incapable of managing their fuel flight, they didn't do any dive assassination attempts whatsoever (which I then presume they simply can't mechanically execute.. Pharah movement 101), and they didn't use conc offensively to force an enemy out of position or off the map. They have the bare minimum of Pharah mechanics for Silver, let alone in general. It may be harsh, but this is just what it is.

Emongg viewers anytime someone submits a DPS vod: "it's an ego vod" This didn't look like an ego vod at all, it looked like below average silver gameplay

What was the ego part? The 1 good ult? That's it? I'm honestly confused

⁠@@PabloGutierrez-zo9xuthese are youtube comments bro, they comment the same random stuff on all videos

Ego vod = they thought they popped off in the vod. Felt like a bronze ego vod.

Because Support dicates everything about the game right now, and trying to have impact by fighting supports usually just leads to a dps getting rolled, whereas fighting on the frontline often just feels like a stalemate until someone randomly dies or gets unlucky.

​@@kommandantkillcodeThat's not the point, you just can't say that DPS is useless when the majority of the tank roster is gatekept by ONE DPS character. Yes, supports are overpowered, but DPS copium is arguably stronger rn

@@kallmeej9106 ONE/TWO DPS BEING EXTREMELY STRONG IS NOT THE SAME AS A MAJORITY OF THE CHARACTERS IN A ROLE BEING EXTREMELY STRONG. Those DPS characters need obvious nerfs, but so do supports, and the majority of them need harder nerfs than the DPS. Support sustain is too strong for how easy it is, and the best ones damage numbers are too high for how strong their sustain is, so those supports [Bap, Illari, Kiriko, Ana (although to a lesser extent just because full anti is very strong), and even Moira and Brig depending on the situation] can handily out-sustain a DPS heroes damage while doing comparable damage themselves. If most of that sustain was just for supports only, then it wouldn’t be so bad, but the sustain and healing for allies is too high for supports to be that hard to kill. Lifeweaver’s sustain for his allies is insane, his escapes are great, and his damage is usable in a pinch. All of that would be fine if his Tree and Platform didn’t have high HP, especially his tree since it now gives overhealth. Mercy, Zen, and Lucio are the only well-balanced supports right now because they are strong in the right comps, but not oppressive to the point where they can’t be countered by solo-attacks from enemies.

@@kallmeej9106 Also, Support is my highest role, and it wasn’t until Season 6 that my DPS took a significant dip in rank going from Plat 3 to Silver 1. My Support has consistently stayed Diamond 2 since season 2. I know how to play Support, and that is why I am complaining because the other roles can’t have considerable impact without running either cheese that everyone hates, or having OWL levels of cooperation.

​@@kallmeej9106 I'm going to suggest a concept. Both roles can be poo. Crazy, I know. But mull it over.

Thank you for seeing tht bc that was me

This

Tap instead of hold if you want to stay at a certain elevation. Use self hurt m1 to launch yourself up then shift to get slightly higher. Boom is better saved as a utility instead. Being "Ground pharah" isnt bad, but only when you're recharging fuel , look for high grounds for you to land on as they're safe for you to land and usually closer to you. Example being Gibraltar 1st and 2nd point. 1st point you can absolutely sit on bridge then retreat to top of boxes, and later the top of the point end. 2nd point the entire ship works as a landing pad for you. But you're also vulnerable to being sniped by widow here since there's very few walls to hide. 3rd point also the same in gibraltar, land on high grounds instead.

@@astupidlylongnamethatstoolong Thanks for the tips, it's really helpful! Much appreciated! I strive to get better, and this surely helps ^^

give the devs a break !they're working on hard the very big pve m.....

@@idk-dg1to why do you hurt me like this?

But "counter swaps are too OP"

@@jayreese8522 I’m not even talking about counters, there are characters that force a swap. Either for your team or the opponents. And Pharah is definitely one of them. Moira, Brigg, Lucio, Bap and Ana are going to have a hard time healing her. And Genji, Hanzo, junkrat, Sym, Tracer, Torb, sombra, Mei, and Reaper are going to have a hard time hitting her. (granted I play controller so maybe some of these are easier on M&K) Sombra’s kind of the same, she works great against a poke comp, but if they’re a dive comp then DPS will be better off playing characters who stick close to their support. Direct 1 to 1 counters suck, but team comps are always going to be a part of this game. There will always be characters who work best with and against certain playstyles.

Support is broken and that’s why streamers are calling it out, also why they are getting nerfed. I’m a masters solo player all ranks btw. If I lose it’s on me, not my team or what’s meta. Supports are the strongest role right now. I don’t main any role and constantly switch because that’s how I have fun, so I have experience on this. I see what you’re trying to say, but you’re going all wrong about it. Watch a video of awkward & maybe you’ll learn to word your advice better.

@@kagamiuchiha5837 all Im saying is people who bitch they're loosing because of support are incorrect. Which you seem to agree with captain. Never said they didn't need a nerf. It's not really advice, it's an expression of annoyance

I went for the soldier pad tht was closer

lets the cooldown on boost count down, still useful

what’s wrong with yazan

Honestly, the amount of times a Phara in my teams just flies with half HP without pressing X once while above MY HEAD is insane. I don't have eyes there, tell me you need heal, there is a whole ass teamfight infront of me with the tank going in and I'm the only main heal, I don't have the time to look up. (Speaking of Plat games as an Ana)

It's silver, you can't expect anything out of the Ana

They can also ask for heals at any point. It's a process to learn if you're one of those players who rarely presses that button but if you press it and still get ignored then it's a support problem.

@@azseal2669 It's less so instantly a support problem and is a problem if they don't heal you at all, since there are times when a dps that is in a safe cover behind me is spamming X while our whole team is having a fight and I can't look away because if I miss one heal one of them dies. But I do agree that if they don't heal you multiple times then it's on the horrible support.

I mean they shouldn't have pushed to stay as pharah. I am also Silver Pharah but everytime I get a Lucio or Moira on my team and no merxy. I ask if anyone would consider swapping for Pharmercy, if not I just swap. Its not worth it.. This Pharah should learn how to play some other easy characters

yea this member needs some coaching if they wanna join the ranks

Ong bro he hardly used the boop blast 😭

And one of them actually proving they belong in silver. That would be a certified classic.

I think jay3 has done something similar to that

This is me but against mercys

good pharahs r so rare lmfao this reeks of skill issue

its not genius, he just watched a bit too much kenzo and thinks this actually matters in silver. Hes a hardstuck silver, he does not need to play this sweaty ffs

@@cooltwittertag its not like albert Einstein genius but its like alex jones kind of genius lol.

depends on your playstyle, there are t500 pharahs that spend all their time in the air, but also t500 pharahs who play a more opportunistic style where you really don't fly a huge amount until you want to pounce on someone with conc blast. Also, spending all your time in the skybox is BORING af.

the best advice anyone can give you is stop blaming your teammates and focus on your mistakes. because you are making mistakes that cause you to lose games. whether you're ready to work on your mistakes is up to you.

They're just where they belong. If they can't climb out of low Silver with Pharah, then they're a low Silver Pharah.

​@@Real_MisterSirok cool, I'm just saying I've had gold players in my plat/diamond games and they were worse than this guy 😂

@@account-pb2dfI’m sure the plat/diamond players were actually shooting at the phara. In a somewhat even game, it should be almost impossible for a mercy less phara to survive

​@@godofnothing428they weren't phara, they were just gold

I started w 36% airtime to 89%. This vid was when I first started using Phara

DPS is not pointless, it's just less meaningful on average than support. But in a game like this, it's not role that's holding anyone back, it's basic game knowledge and hero skill. In silver and bronze, role really means very little, individual heroes are what give passive bonuses (like deployables, ez hit weapons/heals, etc).

Tell it to the Genji player that wrecks the backline while keeping good LOS with an Ana and knows not to stay behind a shield of an enemy or behind walls from their supports too long. It's not that DPS doesn't have an impact... DPS needs to stop being babies that wait to be babysitted by supports, expecting a Mercy pocket sitting on their ass 24/7 while they don't pay attention to their backline or the LOS.

​@satamiko I don't think your uber specific example validates your argument as much as you think lmao.

@@Schmoogis How was that uber specific? It was AN example. If dps don't los supports (speaking from both points, I play all roles), dps do a lot. And can, OMG CAN YOU BELIEVE IT, have fun.

​@@SchmoogisI mean he has a point. A DPS that knows what they're doing and plays with their team will do better than a DPS that's not. It's not a meaningless role unless... Well, YOU'RE SHIT AT IT.

Fr if he didnt play phara, he probably would be bronze

Not to mention Pharah can dominate lower ranks cause they can't aim

Exactly

If you need a Mercy to even get baseline value as pharah, you're not a pharah player you're just someone that plays pharah. You're trash

This is silver supports can’t aim for shit Ana wouldn’t be able to hit if they tried

thats just the ow community unfortunately. ppl will do anything to feel good about their own gameplay

People mean cus intro starts with player trying to blame role (or hinting at it). If they were a bit introspective and honest about themselves, they wouldn't get flak like this

Ive also learned more healthpack spots during my Phara journey. Ground Phara was to get heal from Lucio since ik Ana would have to go out her way to look at me

It’s just emongg’s way of doing things and everyone who submits knows what they are getting into

if you think he's being negative, I would encourage you to watch other ow content creators who spectate lower rank vods. emongg is not negative lol secondly, this is NOT coaching. this is entertainment with a side of education. it's an important distinction to keep in mind. however, he is more upfront and direct with the people who don't take responsibility for their gameplay, like the people who blame their teammates or blame balance issues. if you blame your team, emongg is going to politely put you in your place. because the people who submit vods and blame their teammates or whatever AREN'T there to learn. they want to be validated and reassured. they want mr. streamer to say "it's not your fault, your teammates aren't good enough for you, you deserve a much higher rank." emongg isn't going to stroke their egos. he will tell them "no, here is a list of the things you need to improve on"

it's very obvious you don't actually know what an incel is or how to appropriately use the term.
