I’ve noticed a certain core attitude that makes the whole healing dynamic less efficient and more toxic. That is, thinking of your co-healer as a rival instead of a duo.

I played a game recently that exemplified this. I was Ana with a Mercy. There were countless mini-decisions she made that boiled down to Mercy either a) not thinking about her co-healers strengths/weakness or simply b) thinking of me as a rival to be “diffed” in this match. For example, diving out of cover to heal someone with 50 hp who I could (and did) easily shoot, and dying in the process, on top of making me less safe where I might need to use my grenade inefficiently just to live.

Why fly across the map when you’ve got a healing sniper? I have to assume it’s a competitive mindset, snapping up available heals like Hungry Hungry Hippos so your numbers come out higher. A little friendly competition can be beneficial. But it can turn toxic; for example, one healer might be playing competitively and letting the other healer die so they can maximize their own numbers, and then use that discrepancy to blame and flame.

Another case for this is building ults. Be aware of the other healer’s ult status, and if they’re far behind you it might be wise to leave some heals to them for that reason alone.

Even if it’s just an implicit bias, it’s worth checking yourself periodically to make sure you aren’t playing like this, and instead think about how you can complement your co-healer instead of competing.

I believe all 4 characters popped their ults in a similar timeframe, or potentially an echo got 2 in a single activations. This was way back when echo would clone tanks since her health didn't get reduced at all

I'd appreciate any pointers

I was on a bad losing streak man. I always go on losing streaks, and I try not to tilt queue, but no matter how much I wait in between I always remember that my last game was a loss. It feels like either I'm dominating the lobby and winning five games in a row or getting my butt rocked and losing 5 games in a row. This game was especially bad. I felt like I was playing better than I ever had before, but no luck. I've played this game for hundreds of hours and I'm still in Bronze. Everyone says "just turn on your monitor you'll get out of bronze lol" but it never worked for me. Please help me fix some of my mistakes.

Thoughts on this game: Felt very hard to force progress. I'm always playing with the mentality that I can't rely on my teammates, I have to carry on my own. But I'm not sure that's how I should be playing anymore, as it's very feast or famine. A lot of times is what happens is I'll leave my team to try to dive but then they will get overwhelmed by the opposing tank. So maybe I should stick with my team more. But then progress feels impossible, I'm just sitting there holding Matrix. Also I feel like I never get good value out of my ultimate.

Hey everyone!

Respectfully request your guidance on the following matches:

SDXD60 - I thought I did terrible K2Y1VY - I thought I was mid TRWS3M - great?

Thanks to your help and guidance on my first thread here I am slowly starting to climb. As said before I am new to this game and looking to improve as quickly as possible. I am reviewing every match I play, 15 mins of aim training before playing and watching/reading as much Sigma content as I can. My biggest weaknesses I think are tracking ultimates, positioning and tilting. I know I can hit Gold soon, but I would like to know what else can I work on.
