Ye, I’m in plat and had a game where the tank started complaining to our mercy to ‘stop pocketing the dps’

One time I had a HOG start yelling at me in VC while I was playing Mercy. Our other support was Ana. He deadass said to me, “sO yOu’Re jUsT nOt GoNnA hEaL tHe TaNk??!!!!” While he was LITERALLY ANTI’D IN THEIR SPAWN!!!! Like no bitch, I’m not gonna die in there with you. Some people are so fucking dense.

That lack of healing sounds like a taking too much damage problem

I had a tank one time scream into his mic because I used the blue beam on him for like 3 seconds and he was at full health. Some tank players are just clueless.

@@lakkaiithe tank isn’t 100% in the wrong there.

Ariana what are you doing here?

mase wat r u doing here??? stream overwatch omfg

Personally other than what he said about your brig ult I'd love to encounter supports like you in overwatch, most like to run in and die before the DPS do. ALWAYS respect the supports that keep you alive or try their best it's not always their fault most have been getting Nerfed lately

Wait, it's the support's fault they walked into a McCassidy ult? Definitely gold.

im masters dps and it honestly looks to me like you could easily hold up in plat at least. Though tbf most people in lower ranks are less consistent with their high level play so maybe part of the reason your not ranking up isnt purely due to the ridiculous rng queues, but also because not ALL of your games are like this one.

@@yargentumargentum6899 I definitely have games where I'm underperforming, but more than 50% of my games I play like this. Most of my sup losses are because its hard to carry on sup so even if I enable my team, if my team doesn't perform, I lose. I think if I can slowly work my way out of gold and into plat I'll have a much more fun time since I'd be getting silvers at the lowest but golds being lowest usually simply due to matchmaking

This was a pretty good game. Had some brain farts (but who doesn’t from time to time) with positioning but knew when to disengage and position well too. Could hang in Plat and maybe low diamond

I think the kiriko just didn't use it. There were several instances where she almost died that personally I would have used it or when she was trying to heal the Ram but Mei walled her off

This has happened to me before. Where I try to Swift Step, see the clap animation of Swift Step, see the little particles that puff up when you use Swift Step, but end up dying only to see in the kill cam that Swift Step didn't even activate (no animation no nothing, just me dying like an idiot according to the game).

currently I am seeing more often that I tp too short or even backwards, idk whats up with that. so kiriko not just claps but I am actually landing somewhere but not where I wanted

She wasn’t looking towards a teammate close enough to be able to even use swift step, it’s on her

earlier i swift stepped to my zen who was with the rest of my team and it tped me back to spawn i was so annoyed because it even used my cooldown

As a plat level tank main, please explain something to me. So if my DPS is kinda shitty and can't help themselves, I get blamed for not checking flank and backing off. Okie dokie then. Then, when I need to babysit their asses, they blame for NOT MAKING SPACE. So how will I go about it? Only way I see that works is super risky aggro with tank but once that works, I jus get gunned down. While the DPS isn't a threat to the enemy and gets mostly ignored in favour of targeting me.

​@@zafraz1077 I'm not any higher in rank to give proper advice, but IMO no matter what I don't think you can please everyone, teammates are going to make mistakes and blame you regardless until you're _hopefully_ at an elo where they can understand the macro a bit better (but let's not kid ourselves, people will be toxic and blame others anyway). You're already up in plat, so hopefully you're decently good at threat assessment? Gauging what's more of a threat to your team, that flanker or the rest in front of you, and acting accordingly. Will you turning around deal with the problem quickly enough and make it a 5v4, will the enemy tank just walk in and make it a worse problem if you're not holding them off, etc. Either way, teammates will find ways to blame anyone but themselves for their mistakes, just gotta also make sure you're not doing the same thing yourself and make sure you're confident enough in your own decisions to know what they're blaming on you isn't your fault.

Half my rank is just standing still spamming INEEDHEALING without a clue that the whole team is dead and\or they're out of LOS. Like, you're standing still how hard is it to turn the brain on and process what you're looking at? Literal animals on nothing but instinct to chase the red rag. Oh and spamming while being anti'd. Love that, love babies with 3h game time being put in the same match with ppl who played since 2017

@@Lilian040210favorite had to be a tracer/genji who has the ability to get to their own health pack, and is miles away in safety spamming “need healing”

Tanks like that would bum rush when their team is 50 yards away, but when they are right up against the enemy frontline they sometimes freeze up. Then the DPS flank and gun him down. And then wonder why his supports and DPS didn't help out.

Thanks man I really appreciate the compliment. As I said in my description, I'm still new and started overwatch in OW2 end of season 3, and placed Gold 4 support (gold 5 dps and silver 2 tank) but I feel like I could climb, its just sometimes I get dps that are silver or bronze and as support I can't seem to be able to hard carry my team like I've seen dps or tanks do. Would you have any tips for how to climb on support since you're in diamond?

​@@thewalnutbuckethonestly the only way to really ensure it is to either communicate with your team with voice chat, or find at least one friend to play with that's dps or tank

@@adriantabron3428 I just don't have any friends that are plat+ on dps or tank. The only plat friend I have is on support

@@thewalnutbucketcooldown usage,ult tracking,aim custom games for mechanical skill also stop playing characters like Brig and play more Ana,Moira depending on the heals situation Zen to bully the enemy team. GL A Diamond

@@thewalnutbucketyou got some Instincts and knowledge to have just started 3 months ago. Really good stuff.

such a good take, i wish everyone felt this way. Sometimes the enemies are just better

or the other team was just better

spitting facts

THIS!! Lost a game where me and the other supports (enemy included) had 10k healing each and yet my tank said “supp diff”

@@evl952 10K healing can either be a lot or a little. Context matters.

From where his positioned? I dunno man.... hard to tell 😂

Probably just tilted but it's still inexcusable. I've definitely flamed teammates after a win if they're sandbagging and forcing the other four of us to have to play amazingly to keep the game the close. It'll be a bad DPS player with negative E/D ratio and less damage than one of the supports that spent the whole game flanking and dying. It's frustrating winning a 4v5 and for the shitter on your team to get rewarded equally as you do lol. Granted, this rarely happens but it sticks out to me when it does.

One time I was blamed by a Roadhog (who refused to use his self healing ability) for me only having 3 elms and 14 deaths as MERCY! I had +21k healing and we won! But he didn’t stop talking shit because the other teams moira and zen rolled his ass and they had more elms than their dps. Their reaper kept flanking me while I was literally babysitting the tank the whole game and I’m the one who got flamed

​@@pspspspspspspspspspspspspspsstbh, i think the only mistake was that as mercy you shouldnot have that many deaths. Try to get it under 10, bc over 10 indicates poor positioning and decision making (not all the time and obv having a good team that knows how to space and control the space is easier on mercy movement). Youll find yourself more impactful and more aware of your surroundings (team+enemy position) when trying to position yourself right,giving yourself more impact. That being said, hog should be the last person a mercy pockets so that is just insane to me lmao

@@kahssie their Sombra had about 16 kills and I swear that 14 of them were her flanking, hacking and then her and the reaper killing me while nobody on my team even tried to deal with her, the 3 elms i had were me solo killing her because I got really fed up with my team not helping, and those were the times were the Roadhog would die and keeps flaming me on the ENTIRE GAME CHAT not even on the team chat. But I will take your advice nonetheless, I also need to learn how to deal with sombra more man

@@pspspspspspspspspspspspspspss support in general is just about staying alive in the face of certain death, or just doing enough before you die that your team can clean house. That situation sounds SUPER frustrating though, especially when you don't get any help. I would recommend watching Skiesti videos, she does a lot of educational stuff with how Mercy works and watching her has helped me survive a little longer. KarQ also does phenomenal educational roasts if you play other supports, but a lot of his stuff can be applied across the board

I got advice from some random YT back in OW1 also that you should take responsibility for how you play instead of always blaming your team. I was hard stuck in plat at that time. I made it all the way to GM solo, and that was tough because Diamond was hell on earth. I learned not to que with a big group of people. Because that is like a death sentence. Too many people are one tricks that are stuck in a lower rank because they can't learn to adapt to an enemy team. I know in OW1, even with a loss if YOU played well enough, you wouldn't lose a ton of points.

*gets headshot once "I must reclaim my honor"

I hate when people do that😂.

I find this ridiculous because on valoran for example the heal ultimate and hp from your teammates can be see on the top but for some reason blizzard Has this feature but only for replays?

That's just a lack of awareness. The kill feed is right there too

@@pixelette98 tell that to mi tank bro that charges 1v5 whit no support

​@@kliveranwell he's bronze then so who cares

@@billymays9296 it becomes mi problem when they start saying "diff sup when they just ignore the tracer annoying mi ass until i die

Indeed, controling your farts is not easy. Very little warning either. XD

And its not on his team😂

Me LMFAOOO

Same lol. We've all been in this situation, getting blamed when we're doing as well as we reasonably can be, even if we won the damn game haha.

As a ow1 tank main who picked up support in season three of ow2, I can tell you that gold is the worst of the metal ranks for this role. I was there for a while, slowly but consistently climbing after zooming out of bronze and silver as a Kiriko otp. One match after I'd been in gold 2 for a while, I was told by my tank and dps, who were stacked and on the same page of awful decision making, essentially that I was one of the stupidest people on the planet and didn't deserve to play the game. That same gaming session, I hit plat 5 and then hit it again on an alt. Plat 5 to 1 was so unbelievably fast, as I can rely on a larger percentage of my team (especially plat 3 and above). Don't worry. Metal ranks are very rough out there for supports right now, and for some reason I know people who are newer to the game and don't even know how to nano a genji blade comfortably, that have zoomed to diamond with a 2.5k healing average per game while duoing with me, while my grind is still easy but slow af. You all will climb out of gold and get in the rhythm of the ladder in time, just keep at it. Gold to Plat is doable, but just not as fun on support. I believe in you all!

Pushing up to spawn when you’re holding well is like a reverse C9. It’s so annoying and then Lucio sombra and ball are suddenly capping while your tank is 1v1 with Ana, hanzo, cass, or moira.

No literally, I just gave up even tho I had tp because I was internally screaming

Not gonna lie I notice most of the games I have lost in competitive have always about 90% of the time have been when enemy team has a healer/support on the tank. I play zarya and bruh it can be frustrating. Also notice too when the tank OR support falls the team falls unless you got some bad ass teammates or enemy’s lol. Feel like one healer should be on the tank while other helps dps players, to kinda back up what I’m saying, when I play mercy or brig I be with my homie who plays Orisa and we win majority of the time

Last bit reminded me of a bastion i fought in one of the capture maps (i think it was the lijiang tower one with a shop rigjt outside both spawns but dont remember the name tbh). Bastion ults,i go over and bajablast him in my ult. I meet him face to face and start gunning. End of the game killed him 4/5 times as mercy and it was hilarious

@@kahssie mine was on watchpoint gibraltar, bastion literally had high ground and everything

I’m plat support… both team’s supports healed around 30k and our dps typed on the chat I quote “0 heal” 😅 i’m done with this game! 😬

BRO FR!!!!!!!! rn I'm in Plat 4 for the 4th time & I'm confident i'll get out bc I changed 2 things 1 I actually talk in vc now even if im the only 1 talking but im calling out ults (ult tracking) ability tracking & general callouts "u have no supports" "flanker here" "you're LOSing me" etc & 2 I changed my recoil setting for Bap my main

@@Alex_Aramayo ive managed to climb almost to diamond just to derank immediately, it sucks bro. I LITERALLY WENT 5 - 2 AND DERANKED TO PLAT 2, it sucks sm

those numbers can be completely arbitrary. I can get outhealed simply bc the other team has a dps hitting headshots and insta killing

​@@natsuccubus You're right that they "can" be arbitrary; though, it's not about having higher healing numbers... - having the numbers to any person that can actually read them while a game is going does in fact tell you that there was nothing else you could do (and I'm sure anybody VoD reviewing can also see and determine sniper one shots = less healing numbers at times lol). We don't need to see them as the audience; but, I would assume it would actually work out better for these streamers that do VoD reviews in shaping their reasons/insight to another player.

My guess? The game’s detection for which is a wall and what is floor sucks

Oh yeah there were multiple times I pressed "Group Up!" and "Fall Back!" lmao, mostly at beginning of round 2

But theres should be 2 supps... unless.... open queue

@@kaizerk4321 no he looked right at my character, and said “I need healing (Reinhardt to Zenyatta)” multiple times

Lots of tanks get carried by aggro at low ranks. I have seen so many tanks overextend, and teams just all run away in different directions. KITE THEM AND PUNISH AGGRESSION! lol

Happens in Diamond too, ppl are mad and wanna blame anyone but themselves

idk the circumstances of the game but 36k healing doesnt necessarily mean you were playing good its like when DPS players say wasnt my fault i have 40k damage but they only have 3 elims because they only shoot the tank, that being said if you werent just lucio healbotting for 36k and you played like ana/bap/kiri etc then maybe on your team for taking that much damage, ive also had supports that dont use their kits proactively and that ends up effecting the game btw im a support main

Same lol. The other day I did 31K as Mercy in short game (it ended up 3-1 or 3-2 I think) and some complained I didn't heal at all :')

I found that in metal ranks, high impact damage is way mire effective than healing. Had a losing capture the point round, because our monkey for the life of him could not kill a widow and didnt back out for us to help him when he was low. Had enough of that widow going scott free, did my switch from mercy to ana, and just slapped that widow silly by playing close range and bullying her and their ana. That purple, sleeping and damage gave my tank freedom to kill and actually not be the target of death for once. Sometimes, you cant out heal your teams stupidity but you surely can out punish the enemy's
