@@Diddyyyyyyyyybut now you are hard stuck not sitting much higher cuz you can’t communicate plays with your team. Better option is stay in chat from. The start and communicate teamwork. If they flame, then just mute but to mute from the start is just dumb, my team has lost countless games because its radio silence til the literal defeat screen then the dipshits get in voice chat and talk crap instead of trying to positively communicate during the game.😂😂😂
Yay more Zen! Zen main since the start of ow1 and he's just the best. Such low lows and high highs, he is overwatch. The simplicity of his kit fits his character.
I think its always interesting to see chars whose value doesnt always show on the stats. Ball, Zen, Illari, Mei, etc. Although, its also usually those that get blamed the most when a team is failing.
Zen is easy. They are trading healing and survivability for damage. It's quite easy to see if they are getting value. With how easy it is to los discord it's quite easy to get low value on zen.
@kecleonic assists show on the board. I'm not saying zen is bad. I'm just saying zen doesn't fit this narrative of not showing his value. It's quite easy to see
Of the heroes you named, zen is the only actually bad one lol, why play Zen when he literally provides zero value to the team and is so easily diveable with zero survivability. He's a throw pick, plain and simple
@@TheGreatPewpyOne You can play zen on maps like junkertown or circuit royal and get good value because of the long sightlines. The only problem is widow is so broken that shes basically server admin on these maps.
overwatch needs the ability for everyone to see advanced stats on the match. Like for people to see how much damage amplified from zen/mercy/Juno or healing blocked by ana. Maybe people would be less toxic towards people who's contribution isnt properly displayed
CC landed would also be neat. But who are we kidding, in reality it would just give toxic players more ammunition... They will always find a reason to be toxic...
I would like to see a "healing received" stat, but just for my own personal curiosity. It would actually probably add more toxicity if anything. But honestly for Zen amp damage specifically, it's almost never going to be a number large enough to help dissuade toxicity. It doesn't show the importance of that damage in causing a kill which snowballs the entire fight. And even then, people will be willfully ignorant and angry because it's in their nature.
Honestly if they like Moira and Brig more, id abandon playing as Zen, the play styles/habits cannibalize each other. I'd play Lifeweaver, or Kiri if you wanna play something with range but still have survivability
i might have to get some comp games going so i can submit my match, but i kinda feel like its too early for that and i need to learn more heroes and stack up some more playtime (50h atm, i played paladins a lot tho)
15:50, would be nice to be able to force dva to get out of position but 10/10 when I play zen, I just get a dos flanker to hardcore back lining me cuz I never move play forward as zen.
19:04 he could LOS that ult by moving right, right? I feel like I've been in this specific scenario several times. Being a console Zen main since OW1 beta lmao. Combining PS and Xbox I got at the least 500 hours on him in comp. Am I wrong? Hommie didn't even try to bank to cover. My stomach dropped when they didn't even subconsciously drift in one direction lol actually gave me anxiety haha.
One of the biggest mistakes I see out of Zen players is not having your orb of harmony on somebody at all times, it is free and there is no reason not to have it on some target idly even if there is no fight going on.
also leaving on one person all the time - if you see a dps pushing pre-orb them, if you see their outline rushing back from an engage try to position for orb (one quick peek is ~7s heals), be aware that your heal rate is basically useless for a tank that's doing anything other than idling in cover.. it only takes a sec to adjust orb but it provides so much value and surprisingly good healing output provided you can keep it actually healing someone.
That person has greatness in the future. Awesome zen play and had fun with him in bad association mode. Yeah if you want to win you need to stack. You did great with early pings but need more. Look up position holding spots and play the game like it's not fun anymore and work as a perfect team. The only thing holding you back is communication and team feedback. 8/10
Yeah nah i just act like my teammates are dumbies who know absolutely nothing when i play zen in plat. My win percent on zen is 64% and rising. I am beyond giving a crap if a tank wants to cry about heals while i have 10k dmg and over 30 assists with 3k dmg amped. I get good ults so i always end up with the same or higher healing numbers than my other support anyways. I just vibe and laugh at their insults. They will either get more upset that you don't care or they'll realize they are being unreasonable and shut up. Regardless, it's one game. One lose or one game with teammates who have sour moods wont make or break your ranking. Just do what you do and move on.
some players really want supporters to be their heal bot fairy so they can do whatever they want without getting punishing from enemy. and they will upset that you 'play' the game.
@italo-hungariananimation2149 yes you can. It's similar to how Mei's ice block works. Zen is invulnerable. Be right on that bomb and you save everyone behind you
No offense but like I play Zen just as well as this guy prolly with similar positioning which I am working on. But I am in Silver 2 to Gold 5 each year. This is why the MMR are not really great because once you get to gold you have to play as a stack to pass it otherwise you just de-rank or get stuck in gold. sucks.
Honestly i agree, maybe some people pass it but when I played with frieds we were litearlly having fun and I was gold 1 tank almost plat but we kinda stoped and i continued to play and i am still around gold but it is so much harder to play solo q. I mean it is not impossible but the amount of troll teammates i get is is crazy. Other day i got 2 bronzes on my team somehow idk how that is possible
Easiest character in the game but here we go again whole ass plat healing floors and doing 1 dmg an hour instead of healing. Also is it lag or is it reaction time? 😭
The biggest mistake they made was playing Zen without muting the chat 💀
All chat off should be the first thing everyone does after installing
I got the same tank 3 times last week and locked zen with him everytime. All 3 games won by miles, all 3 games flamed by the dps.
@@semisolaire5866dps are mad bc they dont get pocketed. They should stay mad
Turning off chat was prolly the best thing I ever did helped me focus and climb

@doakesanddrax they are also providing assists with the discord orb. But I see it all the time. People complaining because the heal numbers are low.

it honestly makes sense in retrospect but I never thought abt zen's positioning being like an ashe/widow's lol
I've out dueled widows on kings row with zen. He is a strong pick for good widow maps.. sometimes

also some kind of "damage effectiveness" % for how much of the damage done was burst and contributed to a kill
You can tell when a zen is using discord well though due to them having a lot of assists. It's about how you can extrapolate from the info shown.

I have found zen is completely capable of carrying a team especially with kills if your other support is more healing based. You dont even need dps
15:50, would be nice to be able to force dva to get out of position but 10/10 when I play zen, I just get a dos flanker to hardcore back lining me cuz I never move play forward as zen.
15.40 " you want to force that positioning all the time" while not veing in a widow spot and in your team.
