    A note about the roles:
    Support:
    There are two main ways of classifying the supports in it being main/off healer, and main/flex support (with the healer/support name being important). Main/off healer is used a lot more in lower ranks and is based off of the healing output of the characters. Main/flex support are used in higher ranks and in teamplay and is based more on the aim intensity of the hero because it lets the main support focus more on teamplay while the flex support locks in and focuses on mechanics more.
    Typically you don't want to have two off healers or two main supports because you will struggle a lot with healing in those cases, but sometimes (especially in poke comps) you will want to run double flex support.
    Main Healer: Ana, Bap, Kiriko, Moira, Lifeweaver
    Off Healer: Brig, Illiari, Lucio, Mercy, Zen
    Main Support: Lucio, Brig, Mercy, Lifeweaver
    Flex Support: Ana, Bap, Illiari, Kiriko, Moira, Zen
    DPS:
    While projectile/hitscan is a pretty good way of splitting up the dps role, what is typically used to describe the splitting up of dps is hitscan and flex with a few heroes that fall into the "both" category. Hitscan is mostly just your fairly simple dps characters who mostly just shoot people. Flex dps is mostly just projectile but there are a few hitscan characters (like sombra) who fit into this category.
    Hitscan DPS: Ashe, Bastion, Cassidy, Sojourn, Soldier, Widow
    Flex DPS: Echo, Genji, Junkrat, Mei, Pharah, Sombra, Symm, Torb
    Both: Hanzo, Reaper, Tracer

      I thought it was main/flex DPS.
      Main: Soldier, Ashe, Cassidy, Sojourn, Hanzo
      Flex: Echo, Genji, Pharah, Sombra, Mei, Torb, Junkrat
      Exceptions that don't fit in Flex: Bastion/Reaper/Sym (because of brawl comps with Mei), Widow (because of double sniper comps with Hanzo), Tracer (Because of dive comps with Sombra, Genji etc.)
      I do agree with the support part tho

    • @hidro4166

      main and flex dps can also be described as constant damage output and high bursts of damage respectively

    • @prankster8241
      @prankster8241 10 місяців тому +1

      I mostly agree with this but as a high rank player, there isn't really synergy for main/flex support. Its organized play that cares far more about those. Ranked is more about having atleast one main healer so that you don't die

    to be fair about losers queue, it might happen not with the intent to make THIS SPECIFIC PLAYER suffer, its just a consequence of the matchmaking algorithm balancing the mmr of both teams.
    assuming you are in 'loser queue', it likely means your mmr spiked up recently. it may either be putting you in games you arent skilled enough for (usually quickplay, not having a ranking system), or pairing you with lower-mmr teammates to average out the mmr of the team, making you your team's 'carry'.
    because of supposed changes to the algorithm to match the mmr of opposing roles, this should mean your counter-role is also carrying their team. you can use this knowledge to focus down the other players on the team, basically carving around the fat like you do the tank, or to counter-swap, to deny a major win condition.
    and this basically what elo hell boils down to. these loser queue games are challenges by the algorithm to gauge your ability to take on larger responsibility, and to test your game sense. its like the math tests they have you do on the computer, they could start with addition and multiplication, but if it steps up to systems of equations, you know you're doing something right.

    Good vid, but the distinction between flex/main support also has to do with mechanics required. Flex supports are typically more mechanical and moira is usually considered a flex support not due to classifications but since she is typically paired with lucio when played, resulting in the flex support playing her. They can also be distinguished as main supports typically are more likely to contest/support off angles with a dps and flex supports primarily assist the tank and dps paired there in the typical 3-2 split more, though this is much more fluid during games.
    Current categories:
    Flex: Kiriko, Zenyatta, Baptiste, Ana, Illari, Moira
    Main: Lucio, Brig, Mercy, Lifeweaver

    • @leogallis8959
      @leogallis8959 10 місяців тому +2

      Also hitscan/flex dps is a bit more divided by playstyle now than projectile type, hence why hanzo is typically played by a hitscan player (except when played with widow) and sombra is typically played by a flex player due to comms required since the flex dps player is a bit louder in comms and play a bit more fluidly positionally, and the characters can change in playstyle a lot from tracer to echo to mei for example

    • @leogallis8959
      @leogallis8959 10 місяців тому +1

      Also I saw this mentioned in another comment but I thought I'd mention it here too for conciseness but ana brig is typical for dive, and kiri lucio is played in dive/rush hybrid. Ana brig is very strong as brig can support tracer and your other dps easily with packs as well as keeping your ana alive through literally anything in the universe besides an emp that hits both of them

  • @Star_Rattler

    The proper meaning of a C9 is actually when you get off point to chase kills. It has nothing to do with winning or losing. It's about forgetting the objective to chase kills.
    C9's happen when the defending team is up in the attacker spawn "spawn killing" meanwhile someone is pushing the payload in the back without them realizing, or it can be the attacking team getting off of the point in OT to go kill a defender.
    It's not a C9 if you are killed, or removed/kept away from point (eg: Sig9-ing, Hog ult, a simple Lucio boop.)
    It's also not a /proper/ c6 if you just forget about the point, it has to be that you are prioritizing kills over the objective.
    Just like /proper/ Goats is Dva, Rein, Zarya, and Lucio, Moira, Brig. But "goats" expanded to 3tank3heal.

    This video covers so much but I reckon you missed out a few good ones like: mirroring/mirror comp, inting, peeling, nano-combos like “boostio/nanoblade”, pocketing, torb 1v1s, huge/fat/obese ult/res, mini/mega hp, pop-off, taxiing, and even more niche vocab.
    Also in console lobbies, you’ll typically hear “ximming”, a XIM is a device which grants KBM users controller inputs and thus aim assist options. The massive insurgence of xims have ruined high ELOs for console players sadly

Sometimes I stand in front of the healers and they heal the other two, like yes they have healed a lot, but not me. And hate role complainers. NO HEALING they saying when I literally got the most healing in the lobby and most damage of the healers. Or NO KILLS when I literally got 40 k dmg mitigated, giving them their chance to kill while I protect. And so on. I have been playing since 2016, I know immediately, what the problem on the team is. Shut your free to play mouth up. You just got here. This is a team game, not COD.

    Corrections : Main tank was typically the tank that could survive on their own, nothing to do with shields (ball was MT and sig was OT)
    Main support is the hero pool that the Lucio player plays, its that simple (Lucio, Brig, Mercy, Lifeweaver) sometimes a main support player will know 1 flex support like bap, ana or kiri
    Hitscan - Hanzo is both hitscan/main dps and proj again its just about hero pools and meta comps (hanzo mei is a common dps line)
    Compositions - There is realistically 4 or 5 types of comp, Dive, Poke, Brawl, Rush (based on picks rather than cds and more split than brawl), Split (ffa style like hog and ball torture meta)
    Dive is not played with lucio

    “MTD” now stands for “Major Tank Diff” apparently and I’ve seen MSD a few times to refer to Supports as well. Also if you have zero kills and multiple deaths, as long as those deaths don’t add up to 7 you are now known as Owen because you’re “0 ‘n (insert number here)”

    pretty good video but there was a few things that may not have been so coreect. first there’s only 3 main supports brig mercy lucio, kiri is fs and if you are playing her like a ms you’re probably playing her wrong. also for comps brawl is rein, orisa, mauga, JQ, ramatra, poke is sigma roadhog and zarya idk she’s kinda like kinda brawl and dive is doom ball monkey dva. pretty good video i’m just annoying and nitpick.

    Youre missing about 30min of explaining all the racial slurs
