21:01 that's crazy, ana just 1v1ing a hog and winning
that hog was so blind lmao
I like how Rammatra didnt even make the list in the tank role lol
He's poke and brawl mix
And Roadhog
DLC just got released for it.
Didn't see Kiriko either.
I would argue that Mauga is a mix of a poke and a brawl tank bc even tho he can do damage from a distance he really wants to be in the enemies face to maximize his potential
So I don't think the version we played would count as a hybrid brawl/poke tank. While mauga was most deadly in point blank range, I don't think he was most effective there. My reasoning boils down to the fact that orisa, who is a hybrid, wants to take the first engagement she can to close the distance. Mauga was too easy to kill or deny value from if you didn't poke out resources before he engaged. So mauga could run in, but you would often wait to run in until the last engagement possible. Thus, he is built like a poke tank.
@@joereed8872When’s the full book coming out?
@Windbend3r I honestly could write a college thesis on how mauga should and shouldn't be used. I played way too much of him
@@joereed8872I don’t blame you he was a blast to play and was the first time I had fun on tank in a year
@@joereed8872 He was out for 2 days lol
Being not only bad at the game, a console gamer and usually playing with pc people, I will use these tips to the best of my ability. Thank you, you are an absolute legend!
Fellow console gamer here. In my experience people dont know the difference between skill and try hardedness. So I guarantee you're better then you think you are. Dont let your W/L or K/D tell you how 'good' you are. In the end its just numbers. All that matters is you have fun. And always #IgnoreTheHaters.
For me my weakness is reloading at the worst time I’m always worried about running out of bullets so I usually play Dva to not have to worry about that.
That sounds like a really easy to fix problem though, just stop reloading so much
@P-39_Airacobra man ima start doing this for everything. "That seems like an easy problem to fix just don't die."
"Seems like an easy problem just click on their heads"
@@P-39_Airacobra someone is worried about running out of bullets.
Random guy: just don't reload bruh
I get the struggle! I play Hammond so it’s not really a problem, Ashe its okay because you kinda need that bad habit to play her well, and I play Brig/LW so again doesn’t really affect me much. I’d say just look for characters where it won’t effect you negatively if you can’t seem to stop the bad habit
Play ashe to get better
Funnily enough with the Queen example, in team play, it can absolutely work in maps like Suravasa where everyone takes angles while Queen and Lucio (which I was playing) stick together for a speed engage onto the backline and evetually collapse onto the enemy team. Thing with those comps is that it requires the correct comp (absolutely no Mercy, Zen, LW, Ana or anything that does not belong in a dive or without any high mobility) and a high level of coordination.
I get why no one with a low mobility but... why no mercy? She has great mobility! It's almost her entire point to have great mobility. So thats clearly not the reason why she does not belong there?
@@catycat2309 Generally, Mercy does not belong in a dive. She has great mobility but since you don't have a good target to pocket and you put yourself in a lot of danger during dives, she doesn't really work. Moira and Lucio were picked because Lucio has speed engages and self-sustain, and Moira has self-sustain, slight DPS potential and works better overall. It's just that in team play, everyone tries to choose the most optimal picks for the specific comp and Mercy Lucio is not a comp anyone wants to run ever.
Dive really need a good coordination, out of all the time I played a dive hero (Sombra or tracer), only one time I remember that me (tracer) and a Sombra manage to coordinate with each other on dive and it works so well (except when me dying because accidentally messed up the blink), but only on that one time, I'm gonna miss that sombra 😔🙏🏻
@@catycat2309for dive comp, the hero that being choosed are preferably the one that can sustain and do damage because they always jump on one enemy each time to kill them
So mercy it's not good, since she mostly used for is damage boosting and healing, unless you have valk and go pew pew, but prefer pick for support is Lucio (for speed as the other person said) Moira, for extra DPS during dive and also survivability, and kiriko, which is the same reason as Moira
@@arielkagamine3782 @tesladoesyt974
Thank you both a lot! That makes sense :D
I have a main in each role, and then my “sub main” I try to choose one a little different in style. This ensures a smaller hero pool to allow me to improve them faster, and also allows me some diversity in our compositions.
For example:
Support Main - Moira
Support 2nd - Brigette/Ana
DPS Main - Mei
DPS 2nd - Sojourn
Tank main - Winston
Tank 2nd - Zarya
I tried to keep a balance between using heroes I love to play (most important!) and diverse enough to synergise with team comps.
I’m literally the same way as you I have a “main” for each role but then I always keep a backup or 2 for each role because obviously my main isn’t always gonna work
@@hitoshura8586 hell yeah bro. Great minds think alike!
Maining Mei & Moira 🤢
@@chiefinasmith what’s wrong
@@chiefinasmith moira is fun
While DPS and support are playing checkers tank is playing chess you need to use mind games to make it work in your favor. Play a tank that can be countered by the hero that's countered by your main if you rub it out as long as you can it can force the opponent tank to not realize the flip in pace. I told my duo step by step how the game is going to work out. Make your self the "easy target" to evolve into the raid boss you were always ment to be
13:40 i main tracer and had bast soldier and echo as my secondary options. Both kinda helped me to play tracer better, bc soldier made me notice how recall is actually much more powerful than i thought and echo helped me learn more about timing on dive
i like to play mages and healers in rpg and mmos. for overwatch 2 i havent been able to find a champion like that. When i play Ashe or another gunner i feel like Halo 3, so that helps. I also liked Echo being able to fly like some rpg games. But the game moves so fast and my reactions are naturally slow . Im an older gamer so still trying to find the right pick for me. This vid i wish i had months ago! :D thank you :)
lifeweaver plays almost exactly like a moba/rpg support/mage he sits far away and casts his healing
I recently started playing and as a former Scout main I immediately fell in love with the Tracer style. I'm just trying to add a tank and support to my roster so I can more easily adapt to different situations
After watching this this makes so much sense to understand that my play style is tracking/high mobility cause on tank I mostly play Zarya and orisa, dps I play sombra, soldier, and sym, and as a support main I learned to play them all for any given situation but typically avoid Zen and illari
tbh i dont understand my mains, because my best tank is dva, my best dps is sombra, and my best support is mercy.
though, im good at jq, orisa, ram, cass and ashe, and kiri..
I feel like you need a main for every type of comp to be viable in any situation. So one dive one poke and one rush of any class for each hero. And find whichever you feel comfortable with. And if it’s your weakest role you just need to coordinate with your team to make up your lack of weakness.
I refuse to swap off of junkrat
I think mauga would fit more in line with brawl, with the ability to poke. I don’t think he’s a poke tank.
He’s got a dash to close distance and stun enemies, and his two guns create a giant spread with high damage
Plus his ultimate requires close engagement to get the most out of it
But his dash is also his escape option. He gets shut down by nade, shields, discord and poking dps, so he can't really brawl. If he brawls Ramattra, example, Ram just drops his shield when Mauga uses his health steal ability and mauga gets no value. Reinhardt can choose engagements and shield off damage, letting his damage pick off Maugas team. I think he's more poke hero than brawl
Great video, also I love the fire emblem music in the background!
11:30 bro, this is sooooo true! i did stard to main tracer some months ago and my genji / sombra plays started getting much better. Learn tracer also made me learn a lot about strategt in general
yeah I know right? These three just happens to be my three dps mains
@@haoquanniu3 months later and now im locking genji and tracer on every map i can(sometimes i swap soldier to deal with pharmercys my team can't deal with)
This really helps! Thx! I got to concentrate on how I wanna challenge the enemy! I gotta force my playstyle! Playing on my terms not their's.
Support I still feel like it's very difficult!
Mills at 5am lets go 🗣🔥💯‼️
With this I've learned that Junkrat, Genji and especially REAPER is my calling I've performed phenomenally with each
Coach mills got me from silver to Diamond just watching his videos you can do it too
Thanks for the help coach willis
That fire emblem music in the background is 💯
I feel like Mauga is a bit of a grey area between brawl and poke because of how his kit functions on a more optimal level
If I had to choose a second support or off support I like lucio for his utility I feel like I can really help a team out with his speed.
Until your team cry’s and throws because your not heal botting lol
Now it kinda made sense that I was good at Tracer without putting much time into her because I already like playing Zarya and Soldier. I was a little bit confused at first why it worked so well. :D
I also try to get the fundamentals of each or at least a few heroes for team synergy.
Coming from a long time Mercy main throughout Ow1:
As tank I'm probably best at Zarya but I also play Orisa, Queen, (Hog - didn't try rework yet) and a tiny bit Dva. Ram is fine too but definitely not my best.
For Dps I like playing Soldier, Ashe, Hanzo, Tracer and Mei! Absolutely love Mei and my aim probably helps a ton. Killing a flying Mercy with 2 headshots just feels a-mei-zing. :D
And as I said, I was kinda confused at first how well Tracer worked for me. Same with widow but she's hitscan so I shouldn't have that hard of a time.
As support I played a ton of Mercy when I first started. I guess playing her helped a ton because you really look out for your team and your enemies and understand how the game plays out. When I started to branch out, I tried Moira, loved her mobile playstyle and tried out Bap, Kiri and Ana after that. Same here: My aim helped a ton and friends already told me my out-of-spawn-nades across the map are incredible.
Heroes I absolutely can't play on the other hand: Winston, Ball, Genji, Echo, Torb, Lucio (I'd say I wouldn't play him in my ranked games because that would be throwing - diamond). Sym, Sombra. My Junkrat is mediocre at best. lol
99.9% of overwatch players do NOT need to know what a main or flex support is. Seriously, this is strictly a scrim/pro concept. For nearly everyone climbing in ranked, support players should be thinking in terms of tank supporters and squishy supporters. Bap, Ana, Kiri, Weaver can all sustain a tank much easier than a Brig, Lucio, Zen, or Mercy. Most ladder comps are going to need at least one tank supporter on their team. For context, I'm a low Master support
Edit since many of you seem to be confused: Main/flex supports are pro/scrim terms that refer to the actual HUMAN PLAYERS on a pro team and their playable hero pools. Main/flex support does NOT refer to the in game heroes. Main support players will play Lucio. Main support players don't play Baptiste. Lucio is not a Tank sustaining hero. Baptiste is. Do you see the distinction here? So miss me with the "you're just changing the names" comments. It shows you don't get it
I'm glad you explained your full argument instead of saying "Low tier too dumb to understand Main/Flex support concept."
The Tank and Squishy supporter terminology are very good for simplifying the concept.
@@FuzzyDovely I'm not simplifying the concept. They are two different concepts. A main support is not simply a tank support, as I put it, nor is it always a main healer. A squishy support isn't always a flex support. There is hero overlap with the two different approaches
I also think about it it that way. As long as one support can sustain a tank, the other can be aggressive. I play kiriko on supp and whether I’m healing or dpsing depends on my other support. Although I dont trust LW’s heals too much lol
@@Htiydoesn’t he have the highest healing output in the game?💀
Understanding the styles of your comp is important, tho.
How I group the dps
Classic - hit scan or very similar to hit scan have a burst like mobility that you see in "classic" fps games hence the name like sprint, slide, roll (ex solider 76, Cassidy, sojourn and Ashe)
Range (characters that use mobility both vertical and horizontal to get angles and view points to pick off enemies ,with weapons that allow for longer range attacks (Hanzo, echoe, phaorah, Widowmaker)
Flankers character that use mobility to both get to side or behind of enemies line and also to escape when needed with weapons more effective close range (reaper , genji, tracer, Sombra)
Utility characters with abilities that provide some sort of support for themselves or allies in some capacity (turrets, teleporter landmines) these usually have there "HP" so to speak and operate without the player needing to control it (tourborn, sym, bastion, junkrat)
Obviously with how the games plays and such there are units that may fit somewhat in other categories or don't fit in squarely into the one they are put into for example bastion IS his utility device and he turns into a turret instead of laying one out but subversions like these make the game more interesting and they still fit there respective placing just with a more nuance also the only one I didn't place was mei that's because I'm still on edge if she fits in to any of these she would be utility if any but she's really more defensive or to me she's remind me more of a tank then anything else (barrier, short range primary, self sustaining ability)
I just recently picked up O2 after about three years away from overwatch. No particular reason just drifted away. And while some characters I play were unchanged some were uncrecognizable sadly. I cant olay with Symmetra or Torb at all anymore and they used to be my go to dps. Lucio still feels the same thank god. And Zen feels better than ever even though i couldn't tell you whats changed. But yeah mainly i can't really get back into my old flow. I have a few moments where i can feel confident in my game but most of the time im just not there anymore. This is a game that truly rewards practice.
That Ana play at the end slaps
Probably really dumb question but would mei symm reaper count as similar mechanically all being close range dps?
Went from Torb, to Winston, to Ball. Lets see if this gives me another main this time around.
i need a role that is impactful but also allows me to help get picks and requires me to keep getting better at aiming and tracking so what role do you think that is?
Great vid
I love RamRam. He can stay back & poke, shield his team, deny space with vortex, go all punchy boi & brawl. He is not the strongest, but he is jack of all, master of none.
So if my top pics are Soldier, Tracer and Genji, the overlapping parts are the high mobility of genji and the tracking of soldier which shows that I am quite adapt to playing tracer right?
i feel like my hero pool is pretty weird. ive played tracer torb and soldier and found success. i like playing moira mercy and lucio on support and ive been playing alot of sigma wreckingball and roadhog on tank i have almost a 60% win rate on all of these characters.
Swag mills this a nice breakdown dive is the only way
I like to poke people from a distance but i also love dropping in on them and just getting an elimination and i recently started playing echo and shes perfect for me. Asides from her i also play a lot of off support and hanzo
holy shit what an incredibly well made, well written video
Love you mills but gotta disagree about the dps point you made. If you’re a tracer player there’s no reason at all to learn sombra bc if tracer isn’t working neither will sombra and vice versa. Great vid overall though
Couldn’t sombra access high ground easier and tracer be better on flat maps?
A great example of where this isn't true: Illari.
Tracer struggles with her, while Sombra with Virus and the Pilon changes has a great matchup into her.
Sombra shuts down Doomfist pretty hard
@@randoomain7485 sombras hack is only 1.5 seconds it’s pretty weak. I bully doom way harder on reaper funny enough. I think sombra needs a better hack or stronger ultimate to be a powerful character. She is pretty mid right now especially against good players or teams
I mainly play tank and support but when it comes to dps I’m just good at sym. I’m trying to play other dps, but I’m just inefficient at any others 😭. I mean I’ve played other Overwatch hero’s and did good, but not THAT great. Any tips would be appreciated, though this video did help.
Under Night ost slaps hard. Listen to Melty Blood ost too!
i want advice, i usually play roadhog or ball and i was wondering would that be brawl or road is dive or something because i heard of that before
good video
I started to ow2 months ago and im still strugling to choose my main , i started to play pharah first and shes still my the most played hero but im really struggling when the enemy counter picks me, so i changed my mains to hitscans like ashe and soldier. I played them sometime but i didnt enjoyed them as much as pharah and last week i started to play mei and she so fun and i liked her survivalibility and ice wall ability . But sometimes i cant do nothing and i change hitscan again. I think bastion is the most viable option for me but im not sure, what do you think about it?
Have you tried pharah after the rework?
@@combsmsb i played 300 hours in 3months and i stopped playing. I think im done i got 2 golden weapons(for mei and soldier76) and ranked up to plat 2
I used to be a flex then in Overwatch 1 since I mained Pharah. She was so fun to play against two tanks cuz of how much damage she does.
Can zen considered a flex? Like idk
I’m still having a hard time who to play as on dps. I used to be a Pharah main back in Overwatch 1 but now with one tank I don’t feel as viable anymore. Lately I’ve been playing Ashe Reaper soldier and sometiems Torb and widow if we need distance fire. So far those are my playstyles and I don’t know what category they would be called. As for supports I’m a Bap main all the way I feel super comfortable with him even if he has long cool downs. I usually focus mainly on my primary and heals anyway so it doesn’t matter to me.
my problem is i like to play hanzo, mei or sombra but if the match doesnt run good for me, i allways go back to my safe pick, reaper. for me reaper is a absolute beginner class and i dont want to play him, but in the end if i need to to most of the work i switch to him and do my job.
mauga is poke? With his charge and fighting ring?
I want to play because I want to improve. I started with Support Moira and honestly that got me into the game but I realized I need to learn to aim.
I've played a lot of brawl tanks, but ive found (after uears of playing) that really, i hyper focus on one target, team be damned. Ive been having a lot of fun learning dva/winton. I can feed, and gtfo. Too bad ball sucks rn lol. When i first started i was a rein main. Then i learned flanking, became a zarya hog main. Now in OW2 dive kinda is the best of both.
Here are my mains for each role
Tank: mauga, zarya
DPS: soldier, Sombra
Support: bap, ana
I love how reaper is never mentioned with dive or brawl even though he does both. And I’d say a reaper with Genji or tracer is more deadly than tracer and Genji together. More burst damage and he’s tanky.
His movement is much more limited to cool downs, whereas tracer is able to blink at a high rate and genji has wall climb double jump ledge grab and a dash
if you wanna get better aim, is there a pool of characters you should pick from and who are they in that case?
If you want to get better aim, just play the game. If you want to get better hitscan aim, then just play hitscans, and if you want better projectile aim, its more of a hero to hero basis! Warm up before games helps too.
You didn’t mention kiriko? I can only assume she is in the same category with bap and Ana yes?
Yes she is definitely a flex support, you need good aim to play her well and you also need good timing. Plus kiriko has plenty of play styles like flanking for kills or diving with your team
Question. What is bastion then?
"these characters dont have any way to take a high ground out of nowhere"
Me, on pharah, getting pinned by a rein in midair, that my junkrat boosted into the sky: you sure about that bud?
21:24 bro gave me and every other persona 4 player PTSD
my problem is that I play whatever character i can do good with in that specific match. SOmetimes i do better with one character in dps in one match compared to another. So, what do I do then??
Me, a venture main, when I get to the counter section and I suffer from ptsd of widow players rage swapping to sombra and pharah:
i used to be the type of person to have a main, but now it literally depends on my mood. well, i do have ppl im best as: dva (occasionally jq, ram, orisa), sombra (occasionally ashe/cass), and mercy (occasionally kiriko), and i pick my role based on mood LMFAO
Im a Junkrat Rein Zen Main in a Widow Orisa Baptiste meta
Okay, I really needed this beat into my head. I do struggle with aim, but I've been trying to use Ana and Illari as my support main characters. I think I need to try Mercy more, and maybe Lucio and Wifeleaver. I like Ana's kit, because denial and forcing people to consider resources is something I enjoy (Sigma is my main tank, though I also really like Ram). For DPS, I usually end up running Bastion just because he feels like a little powerhouse, but I need to try Mei more, I think.
if you like denying people to make moves and struggle with aim, try Brig. the only aim you'll need is for her whipshot
@@Iluvclancats Thanks for the tip, I'll try her out some in QP.
When playing with your team, lucio does not require much aim. If you play reddit lucio (going in their backline, flanking, distracting the enemies) You'll need aim and really good wall riding.
What about Kiriko, where does she fit into this way of thinking (Support/ Damage Dealer wise)?
Right? I watched the whole dang video waiting for Kiri! :/
Damage dealer, basically played to like Reaper. Daggers from off angle and teleport to get away when the heat is too much whilst also healing your team
Things that confuse me Millisis about Mauga if he’s made to be a poke tank then what is the point of his charge? To me he feels more like a poke Brawl rush hybrid tank. You shoot first and poke. Once the team is vulnerable you charge in then use your heal damage ability. At least that’s how I see it.
I hope venture fits my playstyle.
Yea why do i try to main tracer when i specialise in a defensive role maybe the bait type of playstyle but i have some proplems finding the proper hero to main
Genji and Widow actually overlap a bit. Sure you don't have mobility with Widow, nor the range with Genji, but the mechanical "flick" playstyle is actually pretty similar in both of them. I'd even go to say that the similarities are so relevant, that if someone is good at either, then they're bound to be great at the other; even less so than a Tracer/Genji swap or an Ashe/Widow swap.
What would Symmetra be?
I mean soldier and zen are fun and Lucio is great to learn cuz it feels so satisfying with a good rollout
Ram too
me with 1.5k hrs on genji: hmm.. yes maybe i am playing my wrong main..
im embarrassed for you
Then you have us Sym mains who don’t fit into any category and we just do our own thing lol.
Also is Ashe a hits an when her shots are labeled hyper projectile? This means her shots, even when sights line up, can still miss a moving target.
So my mains are:
Tank - 1) Orisa, 2) Dva, and lately I have liked new addition of Mauga
Damage - 1) Symmetra, 2) Sombra, 3) Junkrat
Support - 1a) Moira, 1b) Mercy, 2) Lucio
Personally I feel like after thinking about it and watching this video mobility is the thing that matters most to me as I like to get in people’s face and take them out, but be able to dip out if I feel threatened, and personally I am not a long range combatant for the most part, so what would that make me and what characters do you think fit that in each role?
im the same but i only play junk and moira so im gonna try new heroes maybe sym or sombra now
as a Wrecking Ball main, i refuse to acknowledge this information, nor shall I ever swap.
i love tracer & sombra but im totally scared of playing genji
i wanna be a junkrat main but i cant
adapt too the playstyle 😔
I’ve noticed that I always try to play hanzo/soujourn. But i play waaaaaay better on Ashe and soldier. Lol maybe I need to be more realistic with myself and give up the dream
Why are you shouting
I was thinking this same thing 😂
He‘s an overwatch player…
So that the people in the back could hear him.
Bloody finnish Dictionary word named ones
I have to disagree a little bit when you say it doesn't make sense to main different playstyle characters. For example, if you only main Genji/Tracer/Sombra and the enemy team has D.va, Brig, Torb, Mei and Illari. Then you are in a situation where you basically can't do anything because the only characters you play are all too similar and get shut down by the same things.
bars.
Rein my beloved
you forgor ramattra. so you will suffer as him, ramattra, have suffered your torment will outlast the stars when the univerese dwindles into dust, there you will be, still suffering as him have... suffffffered
hanzo was very different with his bullet drop similar to torbjorn, noticeably different. when they changed the way his arrows aim, hit and drop, and their speed. it literally fucked me so hard. he was a lot harder to play because of the said drop and sooo different to other dps. now he's almost a hs speed, almost the same, and at a time replaced mcree completely with his revamp.
Y'know, this video suddenly made a bunch of stuff click that I'm going to start trying.
watched the vid still cant decide if i should/want to main Main Support or Hitscan :(((((
mauga poke are you insane
No hog/ram mention at all? Also regarding mauga it's a little too early to say his style as they are still tweaking him
I play Sigma and Kiriko almost exclusively because they never get nerfed below A Tier. Simple as that. I'm not going to play Zenyatta or Roadhog because for a couple weeks they're broken and then Blizzard nerfs them to C or D Tier.
You need the ability to play multiple characters to flex your playstyle against the enemy and map
Id even argue that Ana/bap isnt really a 'flex', more utility and extra heal cover.
Bro how did that hog lose that 1v1 21:00
Idk ,I only play Brigitte and Kiriko and have no idea what else I'd even want to play lmao
I play every role with tank being my least played just cuz it's so miserable sometimes playing tank right now, but I mainly like brawl/dive as poke is just freaking boring to play and reminds me too much of goats/double shield. I mainly stick to projectile/specialist heroes cuz my aim sucks on PC compared to my aim on console. For dps I mainly play Mei/Junkrat/Soldier if they go Pharah and their movement is decent enough, otherwise I'll go Sym as I'm good with "sniping" with hers and Mei's secondary fire 🤣. For Support it's easily Moira,Ana, Kiriko and it's funny as Ana is really the only hitscan I'm good with and carry a consistent 60% win rate with her which is kinda funny imo. For tank Dva/JQ/Zarya for the rare times I get Dva diffed, idk what my hero choices mean other than my aim sucks and I rely heavily on my game knoweledge 🙃. My old man relfexes ain't what they used to be so I have to play projectile/more anticipation like shots sadly lol as even though I've been playing fps games for so long I'm just not as good on PC.
sigma balls. all i needed to pick my main
Several months ago, I tried playing my first ranked match. I thought I was doing well, but one of the other players on my team kept shouting, demanding that I switch to a character that I’d never touched before. If I swapped, I wouldn’t have known what I was doing in the slightest. So I stood my ground, we lost the match, and I stopped playing ranked mode altogether.
Was I in the wrong that day? And are there any specific prerequisites I should try to meet before playing ranked again?
You were not wrong. Their advice might have been right if you could play that character, but they don't know what you can or can't play.
Assuming your goal is to get better at OW, I would say to look up how the objectives and win conditions work, check out every character's skills in the practice range, then jump into ranked. If you're new, you'll start out in placement matches where you most likely will end up against much higher skill players, lose a bunch of games, and that will not feel good. But the thing about ranked is that you get matched to your skill level. You might think you need to learn the game before trying ranked, but the best way to learn ranked is to jump into it right away IMO because quick play is not quite the same and the quality of games is lower (many more leavers, still some toxicity).
The main prerequisite to playing ranked is a thick skin. You will face toxicity, people making fun of your stats to your team and the other team, blaming you for losses, etc. Because the stakes are higher, people will tend to be meaner. You need to not care about that at all and just focus on your actual performance and how you could improve. And remember, it's just a game. You can set your own boundaries on how you want to play, even if it's not optimal. Some people always stick to the same hero no matter what because they like it. It's not ideal, but you eventually get matched to your skill level either way.
@@randoomain7485, thank you. I've really wanted to try ranked again, especially since I've played a lot more and feel like I'm slightly more adept with my mains. I might work up the guts to try it again some time soon, knowing that the one match that drove me away is just a stepping stone everyone has to cross at some point.
If I somehow end up as a top 500 some day, I'll have you to thank for giving me the whap upside the head I needed to pull up my pants and run headfirst into the fray again.
@@infrasoundthelostsoul8830 Good luck!
So is bastion a hit scan?
yes both walking and tank form are hitscan
Didn't mention kiriko once 😢
but how do i pick between tank dps and support?
doesn't matter, just find a hero who's fun. if you like leading and being the titan of the team go tank, if you like running around killing people go dps, and if you like healing and being helpful go support. all of them overlap and are sometimes not true, i main lucio and zen but i never help my team lol, hope this helps 👍
What if you main a hero you like not because their strong or weak but because you like the character and abilities…
