That i can agree on, it was nerve wrecking seeing him push that far when i was in the match cuz I wasn't sure if he could survive all that. But when i was watching that replay, it really was fun seeing them fighting for honor and glory 🤣🤣

I'm only a slightly higher rank as you so take my opinion a grain of salt I guess, but I thought that you're gameplay was actually really good and that a hard support carry won the game at the very end! One thing I saw that emongg didn't mention is that sometimes the easy way to not "try to do too much" is to recognize what you can and cannot do. For example at like 15:20 you peeled for your Anna due to a Genji (a good play) but you tried to heal Anna at first. At that point, with the health Anna was at, her ass was grass regardless of your healing output. The best thing you could do is just try to kill the Genji, you might even have a better chance at saving her. Remember that a damage orb and your damage attack is pretty overwhelming for pretty much every character in the game, especially low HP flankers (Tracer will be a bigger problem than Genji in Diamond). That's just my opinion though Anyways, stay chill and thanks for the VOD

@@Sloth-c1w hey! I just wanted to offer some encouragement. I have struggled through that gold to diamond journey and it is not easy. I went from gold 1 to diamond 3 in a single season recently........ but I also had to play over 300 games to do it. it takes a lot of time. it is truly a grind. and getting so close only to drop back down is so demoralizing, it feels so shitty. after the rank reset, I haven't had enough time to devote to comp to climb back to diamond 3 so I'm also experiencing a bit of what you're going through rn too. so I totally understand that crisis of confidence. when I was bouncing throughout plat, up to plat 2, then down to plat 5, back to plat 3, plat 4, then plat 1, all the way back down to plat 5, etc., what I tried to focus on was that I had climbed to plat 2 and 1 before. I had done it once, and therefore, logic would suggest that I could do it again. the next step is looking at a variety of your vods, wins and losses, and asking yourself what you did differently in those games. what did you do more often in the wins than in the losses? were there times you would respond the same way to situations but end up losing the game anyway? do some investigation there. ask yourself how you can give your teams even a 1% increased chance of winning each fight. are there situations where you just never know what to do? think about how you can deal with those situations. as you're doing laundry or dishes, think about what you should do on your main heroes if X happens. if Genji blades you or your other support, how do you need to react as Moira? if you're on kiriko, what do you need to do? etc etc. practicing this decision making outside of the game will mean that you're prepared to address problems in advance. make sure you have a solid understanding of your weaknesses and common mistakes so that when you're setting up for the next fight, you are already trying to mitigate them. for example, "I tend to lose track of my other support during fights. I'm going to position here so I can keep an eye on them and the rest of the team at the same time, and I am going to check on them frequently." articulating these kinds of things to yourself during the game will be HUGELY helpful. and by doing this, you will be constantly consciously aware of your improvement and your own journey. focusing on those things will inevitably result in a long term climb. focusing on how I improve instead of the rank aspect has helped with my confidence a lot and has let me have more fun. and sometimes, you also just burn yourself out on rank and need to take a break to recoup for a few weeks. that's okay too!

@@moon-pp2uo Oh yeah, for some reason our Ana and me synchronized quite well from the 2nd round on despite neither of us were using vc at the time, she was doing really good too XDD. Yeah I definitely will have to look out for that, I might have taken "a support's job is to sustain the team" a lil bit too seriously and I know from ss9 on, eliminations are better than heals and that is one thing I still have to work on. Kinda pains me to see them die in front of me but sometimes it's better to accept it and get an additional elim to make it at least a 4v4 before combat T.T. Your opinion is actually great, I'm so happy that my gameplay was called good by a fellow player, but there are always more things to learn if I want to get to diamond and actually belong there! So any feedback is always appreciated, and I thank you for that ^o^

@@sethescope Oh yeah, it took me almost 150 matches just to get to plat 5 from gold 5 but from plat 5 on, it was a smooth ride all the way to 80% plat 2 within only 50 to 60 more matches , then I'd get demoted all the way back to gold T.T, since then I haven't been playing comp alot, but lately my friends have been telling me that I'm improving so much recently, so I thought why not try to solo q as support, to see if I can actually get to diamond without asking for their help (I don't wanna be a higher ranked player with the awareness of a blind avocado while my friends do all the work, I would feel terrible bc I don't deserve the rank LOL). Thank you for the encouragement, so at least I know the struggles are real and more common than I think. I have definitely been reviewing my replays to see how my positioning could have been better, what are the things I could prioritize on, or what are the things I'm still bad at, and I even got the courage to send this VOD review to Emongg! I'll keep grinding on and once I'm actually able to get rid of my comp anxiety, I'll truly enjoy my process alot more. Thank you so much for your input and kind words, of course :D

@@Sloth-c1w dude comp anxiety is the worst, and the worst thing about it is there's really no cure except to play so much comp that eventually a single comp match doesn't have the same emotional stakes anymore. I'm dealing with a lot of that too right now, so I hope I will learn from your example! 💖 I really think people don't talk enough about how comp is legitimately a grind. significant progress doesn't happen overnight, and most people will spend a lot of time bouncing around when they start to be ready for the next rank because the issue isn't that you don't know how to play like the next rank up. the issue is just learning how to play that way in 99% of the games you play, and that's not easy!! it takes time! and when you're bouncing around, games aren't very consistent. if you're in low plat lobbies, most of the time you cannot play the same way you would play in a high plat or low diamond lobby because your teammates don't have the same level of skill. making that adjustment constantly is also really hard. but you clearly have the right attitude and you're willing to put in the time, and to me, those are the most important things. climbing will happen. it just won't happen as quickly as we want it too 😂

Hey, thank you for the tips. I'd gladly do anything to improve on the heroes I play so it's awesome to get some pin points for what I lack! I know it's never about the sens but I thought I'd want to let you guys know why my camera movement was so weird (trust me this is NOT an ego vod, it's literally how i normally control my cam movements as moira, i swear) 😭😭 cuz my remaining heroes are sitting at 5-6 sens while Moira gets 13. I was also told that my gameplay gets really wonky when things get chaotic due to me not being able to process what to do in a messy team fight. And of course I just get lost from there 😢 that too is something I need to work on and hey I'm also glad to meet a fellow Moira enjoyer (I'm at 200 hours on Moira). I'm actually excited and willing to hear more from you!! Thank you again 🎉🎉

I do think of the danger but the temptation is just too big.... Just kidding 🤣🤣 No but like really, I will have to get rid of that habit before it becomes my second nature to tp into my own death, I definitely could have teleported to my teammates that were in better positions, and me not doing that was a big factor to why we lost so many teamfights on the first round

Thanks for that, I'm pretty good about not tping into dangerous situations but that's an awesome alternative

Yeah I tend to panic way too much especially in competitive matches where I have to give it my all 😭, I do feel like I need to trust my team more but sometimes I just feel like I can't trust anyone in solo q (I'm not saying they're bad, it's just a bad habit that I have developed over time being in gold in too long, I'm just playing mostly by myself which is of course a terrible thing to do in a team based game like Overwatch) so after watching this replay and having Emongg pointing out what my problem is, I'll definitely have to take it slower to actually make things work. Thank you for your insights!!!

That's what Emongg has already said..

shameless clout leeching

@@Sloth-c1w I totally understand what you mean by wanting to trust your team but also feeling like you can't trust anyone lol I don't think it's as simple as one or the other! I try to start every round with the assumption that everyone is going to do their best to do "their job" e.g., if I'm playing Ana and the other support is on Mercy, I'm going to assume they will handle the dps and will let me primarily handle the tank. but I keep an eye out and reassess if I notice our dps aren't getting much attention and mercy is spending a lot of time healing the tank when I'm alive and right there. if that's what happens, then I know I can't trust them to pay attention to the dps so I will just do it. I think starting with the assumption people are going to play their hero "correctly" is really good because it sets you up to enable teammates who do have a good idea of what they want to do AND helps you build awareness to identify problems and understand how you as a support can adjust to address issues. and for me it helps me not get as frustrated as often because I'm like, "okay, X is struggling, and I can be the one to adjust and make up for that." it also gives other people the chance to surprise you! and I think that's nice :)

@@GucciGengar. your comment makes absolutely zero logical sense. feel free to try again!

Hey thank you for the detailed analysis, I appreciate it alot! And yes it'll take me alot of time to get into the calm vibe but I'll get there eventually. Hopefully I'll be able to post a where are they now in the future. Thank you again for your feedback ✨✨

Silver moiras and kirikos play better than this, the player does not belong to plat obviously

That is something I surely must have done but at the time I was too scared of going for that flank cuz I thought it would take too much time 😭 but it is a nice bit of information, I'll keep that in mind the next time I'm on this map again! Thank you ✨✨

Hey there. I am very comfortable on her, but sometimes I rely too much on moira and it really takes away my chance of getting better at other heroes (you can say im almost a one trick pony cuz i climbed from gold to plat using moira most of the time 😭). I've been trying to extend my hero rosters lately but it'll take a while for me to be completely comfortable on kiri, i have a hard time playing kiri against genjis 😭

@@Sloth-c1w I know that feel, the “Kiri-jail” made kinda stop playing support

@@theprometheu5 support felt bad to play with the dps passive at 20% (mainly bc of me wanting to help my team more than dps) but it's been great playing support with the dps passive reduced to 10% 😭😭 kiriko felt hard to play with my current aiming skills so we're on the same boat

I tried to mirror how my higher ranked friends do when they stream and coach for me but I guess putting the sens at 13 on moira and 1k dpi wasnt a good combo for that kind of camera control 😂😂 and yeah I did panic alot on some parts too so thats that. I'll try to work on both aspects

Yeah I tend to not think that far ahead before making any movement decisions.....resource management and decision making still need alot of work, and I'm so glad you pointed that out!! Thank you so much

@@Sloth-c1w of course, i definitely thought your other cooldown usage was really good! i just def struggle with movement cooldown a lot too so it's always easier for me to hyperfocus on in others gameplay, so thats why i point it out! good luck in your climb, and i hope you find your confidence soon (you do deserve to be in plat, as an unbiased third party i can absolutely confirm that) ❤ see you in "where are they now" when youre diamond

Just make it so it can chase targets lmao, like Cass’s (old) Mag grenade.

There is a visual indication is above the health bar for yourself at least

@@unknowndonut254 yes, but that is almost useless, you as a suport want to know the status of the person you are healing. The sounds that i talk about is when healing someone else, that already happend before with the anti nade, making a diferent sound when healing an anti healing target or a boosted healing target.

@emongg please take this guy up on this
