So i watched this video about gaming being defined into 3 categories and its mixtures

Micro, macro and meso

Overwatch fits all 3 as in most competitive games, and the person there suggested that depending on the role its more heavy towards one of each. And im curious if you agree with those categories being asigned with these roles.

To describe them

Micro is simple, the execution, the aim, the movement. A cheat would be aimbot. A game with pure micro would be Osu

Meso is information, mindgames, predictions, randomness. A cheat to get it would be enemy cooldowns tracking and wallhacks and such. A game with pure meso would be rock paper scissors

Macro would be overarching knowledge of correct strategy and what you are supposed to do. So a cheat would be a coach. A game with pure macro would be factorio

Micro macro is speedrunning or just mechanically demanding singleplayers, micro meso is fighting games or mariokart, meso macro is chess or competitive pokemon

Dps is more micro dependent, tank is more meso, support is more macro

If i explained it poorly i could link a video but idk if thats allowed

Hi friends,

I’ve climbed to masters practically one tricking wuyang this season after not playing the game for a while. At my peak I was GM1 but that was a while ago and the game has changed a lot and I’m sure I’m a bit rusty now. For context, I average 11k damage per 10 and 8k heals with 4 deaths per 10 as well. Clearly I’m very damage oriented because I love having a lot of agency and carry potential on support, which is why I love wuyang. My play style usually has me breaking off from my team and poking squishies from an angle, or I’ll follow another DPS to enable them and damage their targets, and rotating back to support my tank with wave when they are critical. I do tend to play pretty selfishly and look for a lot of my own kills and plays which has been very fruitful so far, I have a 60% win rate with Wuyang. That said, I’ve already noticed in the few games I played after hitting masters that I’ve been getting some pretty cracked teammates and when I notice that I’ll switch up my play style to help enable and support those people more instead of looking to make my own plays. I feel like I have a lot of my fundamentals locked down, I make few mistakes and I’m almost always in a good position to do damage. I think it’s really a matter of having a little more individual impact, I feel like the games I lose that were winnable I could have been the difference. I feel great about my mechanics, positioning, cooldown management, target priority, and keeping myself alive. Where I feel like I have gaps are sometimes getting lost in chaotic team fights, recognizing and playing around the games tempo, and adapting to my own teams play styles to better enable and support them.

What advice would you give to a wuyang player looking to climb from masters to GM?
