Second point defense was infuriating. They tried to salvage an already lost point, then typing made it so they had 70% progress before they regrouped.

@@TheShapingSickness One time my tank threw the rest of a KOTH game because I tossed the “wrong” Moira orb in the last ditch 2v5 point dive on the first map. This felt like that.

​@@spacecowboy7193 terrible dps moiras piss me off too

@@trasex8572 Well, I hope you throw an entire game against me because of an orb thrown while you’re in spawn.

@@spacecowboy7193 moira mains are right behind sombra mains for the most cringe

if i remember correctly i said something along the lines of..."what is this matchmaking"

@@kpaxz8501 you were the moira?

@@Antonio-ys5zd yeah XD

This.. in metal rank, their communication is just blaming someone or yapping about useless stuff, it's so annoying but also can triggering the entire team to get tilted.. causing everyhing to fell apart and gone wrong Last night i got a dps blaming the tank for the lose, cause the tank tried to focus on killing enemy support and get their attention.. but the dps say stuff like "it's not ur job for killing the support" meanwhile him can't even make a pressure or try to kill them as dps, and bro keep yapping nonsense for the entire match in chat make the tank and one support typing to argue with the guy.. it's really mind boggling

​​@@araven2293FR, as a gold thats why I try to meditate the fight. Luckily my whole matches aren't thrown by toxicity, it's just one or two comments that are ignored. I do remember an Ana telling our Genji he was bad, SO he said he'd throw. I just went "wait no, pls, you're good" (he was carrying) He didn't throw and we won lmao I also had toxic people apologise to me and we ended on good terms 💀

​@@TamWam_"I can fix him" type player

Yeah, and then you see it happen in quick play 💀

Enemy Sojourn was a menace the entire game. Just pick after pick. Killed like three camping their spawn which prompted the chase.

I saw that message just as I read this 💀

@@TamWam_me too but idk what that means 😊

@@newskistewski5877 wpm = words per minute, the whole team was typing and it made them lose

@@newskistewski5877wpm means words per minute it’s a joke referring to people typing and standing afk instead of playing the game

what is wpm?

QP is hell most of the time but I’ve met some of the best quality teammates in qp matches lol.

I had such good synergy with a Rein in qp once. No coms, just me (LW) and a crazy Rein who always seemed to know when I could save him and when I couldn't. Loved that guy.​@@ilove_dr.pepper.

thanks a bunch!

Real, the suzu, grip, lamp, meanwhile as a Kiri I miss my suzu by one inch and my tank dies 💀

“Forgot to mention” lol

has he said anything about quitting in the near future? because I'm scared he is TOO done with overwatch.

​@@hihiglug he was talking about burnout the other day and said he doesn't feel any despite working so hard/very much still enjoys what he does, so idt he has any plans of quitting

Flats is boosted, he has not words to say about this game.

@@LetsGo-pk9hp lol i believe it's not just him.. but every or most t500 player likely are boosted too since the start and since ow1, sometimes u can see them playing stack with their other t500 friends when they are start losing a lot.. also when there is a replacement, they are 3 to full stacking to get the replacement, not just go solo But idk for emongg, i only see him stacking when there is replacement and when he plays other mode

​​@@LetsGo-pk9hp if he's boosted he's pretty good to stay in top500/gm consistently, even with the stack "boosting" him. Plus, if you are boosted, if you stay in a rank for so long you get used to playing against players of that skill and so you automatically improve.

​​@@araven2293eh, I wouldn't say Frogger, Eskay, Eleyzhau (and more) are boosted. I mean Eskay is t500 every role, and you can clearly see her skill, it's hard to stay in top500 consistently if youre boosted

@@TamWam_ i mean by boosted is not like a casual player skill got boosted to t500.. i know all the t500 have different skill with average player, but like they can stay at t500 for years cause they sometimes get boost by stacking with their friends that are good at the game too, so they can win more easily (cause better comms, strat and skill) to get the stable t500 rank back, when they start to dropping some rank/lost a lot..

This play style is super annoying cause it makes the tank super cocky but the supports are literally like "wow if I stop healing the tank for one second they explode and write about how they get no heals" so they basically just play like shit until the supports realise that the only way the tank will stay alive is by 24/7 pocketing and ofc the tank starts to pop off because all the supports resources are going to them and not the the team! And this strategy can kind of work sometimes which is even more annoying.

@@joshfrey6315 As tank player myself the biggest issue i run into is everyone just shooting whatever and not lookign at finishing kills or deciding whos the priority to target. they would rather just shoot whatever is in front of them randomly. so when ive got like 3 or 4 targeting me and barely hanging on the supports cant out heal the damage, i just just explode or just pumping out damage making people weak and thats all, because dps are just doing their own thing watching their damage go up but not actively trying to finish of the kills ive basically handed to them. even supports sometimes just focus on healing me when id rather them just help me clean up and win the fights. id take a death if the dps can finish off the people ive made 1 shot or whatever but they try pocketing me with just heals that they cant out heal because dps passive and then blame me when i die because i have 3 focusing me. when if they just put a little damage in during the fight they could have helped finished off the team fight and healed me after. instead enemies that are one shot just scurry away. No one knows context anymore or comprehension and rely on just stats / buzz words. its annoying

Embrace being part of the reaper main club

Well Reaper got gigabuffed this patch too, like his spread is insanely small now and he does significantly more damage because of it

Youre probably just not very good at tracer and need to practice

Well, it depends on your goal. If you want to learn Tracer, you'll have to eat the losses until your Tracer skill level catches up with your Reaper. Being okay with it is part of learning. If you'd rather win, then yeah, Reaper all day.

tracer is just a difficult character to play. youll get better over time probably work on stuff in quickplay some more there's a lot to learn with her even out of the competitive environment

Yea I doubt they made it to d2 and if they did it was a fat boost nobody above gold will take the decisions this guy was making

Their aim and movement too. No shot they were dia

It's not even good for gold. Every single fight they lost was on him.

Yea idk how this guy was ever diamond 2. My bet is they were initially placed in diamond 2 after ranked reset and then very quickly fell to their actual rank (gold).

@@TheShapingSickness i was gonna say thats not good positioning for any rank outside of bronze lol

Yeah the Zarya was shooting the Mauga for the whole game if I’m playing vs this zarya I would be compliment her too for giving me the w

@@azseal2669 Nah I doubt this person was ever diamond after the rank reset.

yeah.. even 100% power laser pointer looks like a suggestion of damage.. so not satisfying

Technically every character is a moving hotbox unless you stand still. Edit: I meant hitbox but I love what autocarrot came up with

@@breakfaith3031 every other role/character can at least make a little bit of a difference in a fight.. Tank and specifically zarya... Idk..

It really is too much fun

Top 10 reasons I dont play tank, is that I see all this advice and execute it wrongly. I hear my backline being hurt, I peel and give up space, we lose. I target squishies, overextend, die. Yes it's a skill issue and I suck at tank 💀

As a tank player in gold I find it hard to peel for the backline since it feels like there's a ton of responsibility for tank in low elo or just in general. I want to be better at peeling but I'm also focused on living through cc, attacking their backline, creating space, starting team fights, securing kills, etc. When I play as soujorn I'm mainly focused on just getting high ground/good positioning, building ultimate and trying to get picks. Also on tank I'll sometimes peel for the backline but then the frontline gets squished so I have to calculate what option will give best value. I'm not saying anything you said was wrong just a different perspective to why that may be.

@@joshfrey6315 I hear you. In situations where you're holding front against damage, sure. I agree. It'd be risky to spin around, but there are a lot of opportunities in smaller fights where tanks could spray some damage or jump back to assist. Winstons, Dva's, Doom...all great at is. Yet so many don't still. They just tunnel ahead and then wonder why their team is dead.

@@TamWam_ I'd rather a tank try to tank successfully (and fail) rather than the latter. Keep at it.

​@@TamWam_ listen, tanking is hard! it's such a fundamentally different role than DPS and support, although arguably there's a lot of crossover between support and tank priorities and skill sets (being able to work with others is a much more fundamental skill for tanks and supports than DPS, for example), so of course you're struggling with it! there's a learning curve and as with anything new, you're not going to be good at it immediately. the first step to being kind of good at something is being bad at it. I think having a general idea of some situations when you know you should peel and when you know you shouldn't will be really helpful at first. these will depend on the tanks you decide to play. for example, on dva, maybe you decide that when you notice the mercy on your team is going for a res that isn't a perfectly safe one, you will go DM that. that's a good guideline to have in mind. and then as you play, keep checking on your replays and look for details. was this a res you really needed to help with? if yes, why? if no, why not? where were the enemies? what was the enemy team comp? was anyone else on your team also helping? how far away was your mercy and what were you doing before they ressed? would staying where you were actually been more helpful in the long term? and should Mercy have gone for this res in the first place? should you have let them face the consequences of their mistakes and let them die in favor of trying to trade supports or get their tank? asking yourself these kinds of questions and doing this kind of analysis will help you get a more nuanced understanding of times when you absolutely need to help Mercy res and when Mercy will be fine. you can do the same for everything else too. yes it's a lot of analysis but that's why overwatch is so fun. everything is situational. but it's also why learning a new role can be so intimidating! so be patient with yourself and know that it's okay to ask for help! there are plenty of people out there who would be happy to give feedback on replays and give more advice

Open queue is sooo much fun besides the part that DPS players queue it just for a quicker queue. I think my winrate would sky rocket if I had no dps on any of my teams since dps is sort of weak. Ideally 2-1-2 is better but I'd give it up to never deal with 1-3-1 again

open q is best overwatch, i never play role q anymore

I see where you're coming from but no tank that picks Mauga without it being a mirror situation can be considered a chad

*Failed DPS main, FTFY. ;)

Not a single time has this Zarya rightclicked themselves! Not even out of spawn! Its so triggering. Their gameplay is just "beam the tank and use bubbles on cooldowns lol" and nothing else

They definitely tried to make plays on the other teams supports with left click, but sometimes it was across open spaces with no bubbles XD

today we're watchin a gold 2 tank on pc,

I'm guessing it's because mauga is basically like a turret form bastian. He can burn both bubbles quickly and then Zarya does not have much damage mitigation for herself left after that. She will have pretty good charge but she can still be gunned down anyway esp when mauga pops his cardiac overdrive. That is only in the vacuum of tank 1v1 though.

​@@Merui021That makes sense, thanks!

Yes it is

I enjoy it

The answer is no and has always been no in every online game ever. QP is for fun, Ranked is for imaginary status.

DPS was so useless before the passive and even now when I play open queue the less DPS we have on the team the better we usually do. Ideally I see the most wins with 2-1-2 but even 3-2 is better than 1-2-2

They should make Eskays version of the zen ult part of the regular game.

Found the zarya

@@joshfrey6315 haha funny

Okay Jeneralsoup

How do you even know what was being said? The tank also had the most selfish play style of using bubbles on themselves constantly, and expecting to be saved by heals 24/7. I've played with a zarya exactly like this in silver and they were toxic before the round even started with the username "hard stuck" somehow we won that game but that's because I had to pocket them 24/7 cause their positioning was absolute garbage

Okay JeneralSoup
