ZHTD8 — “Realistic Battlebots Aim Trainer” by D4iChiN

This mode feels intense and chaotic with the default settings, which honestly makes it great for waking up your brain before your first Overwatch game of the day.

You can customize the settings to:

• reduce the number of heroes
• choose specific heroes to practice against
• play on random maps instead of the Workshop Chamber

I think it’s fantastic for learning hero-specific mechanics:

• D.Va → Defense Matrix practice
• Wrecking Ball → map geometry and movement
• &c

I genuinely have no idea why this mode isn’t talked about more.

Like Seita, D4iChiN has a ton of great workshop codes:

While writing this post I noticed they released a new code, so now I’m excited to try that too.

KAVE5 — PMAJellies Aim Trainer V5 by PMAJellies

This one throws an error when you start it.

To fix it: Settings → Maps → set the map to Workshop Chamber

There are a bunch of cool modes to experiment with. My favorite is Sphere Frenzy using Cassidy:

• start with 1m spheres
• decrease the sphere size over time

It’s maybe less “Overwatch-specific” and more similar to an Aimlabs/Kovaaks static scenario, but I still think it’s a solid warmup.

JPYHG — DPO Aim Trainer V3.5 by IOSTUX

This workshop starts in slow motion, then gradually increases the game speed depending on how well you perform.

It’s unusual because changing the timescale also affects things like projectile speed.

I’ve found it surprisingly useful. Recently I used it while learning Emre, and practicing burst shots in slow motion before ramping the speed back up helped a lot.

Would love to hear about any underrated workshop codes other people use that don’t get talked about much.

Her hitbox when she dashes and right after using the teleport thing does not line up at all with her model. This is getting ridiculous Im tired of losing fights or games because of something entirely not my fault. Its even more noticeable since I play genji and he has the smallest shot hitbox in the game including hitscan.

My duo is a reaper one trick and I queue with him as the other damage role or sometimes tank what characters should I learn to best compliment reaper and what other character should he learn in case reaper gets banned. I’m currently in plat 3 and he’s in gold 1. And for my duo what character would be most similar to reaper to play when he gets banned?

Hello! I’m a bronze dps (Freja, Emre) and silver support (Mizuki, Brig, Ana). I managed to climb to silver on supports, but my dps are still struggling. This fact is frustrating since I practice on vaxta, watch guides, coaching videos and such. I use cover, take high ground and off angles, but it seems like it is often not working. When I take high ground, for example, it doesn’t feel like I have any advantage. Yes, I can see the enemies better, but at the same time my supports forget about me instantly (not always, but often enough to notice that) and it feels like as soon as I am on high ground I became an isolated, easy to kill target. The same with off angles. I don’t know why it’s not working and playing dps in comp brought me more frustration than fun.

Recently I spectated my friend, who is also bronze dps, playing Torb and he was just running down main spamming to whatever he saw in front of him, no matter if it’s tank or a squishy. Of course, he died quite recently and it was pretty dumb deaths (he did a lot of dumb things actually), but at the same time… he got kills and wins? So for the sake of experiment I’ve tried to play somewhat the same way. For 8 games (2 in qp, 6 in comp) I just stood somewhat behind a tank, not going far than 5 meters from my team and just mindlessly spamming to whatever I see, even if it’s a tank (I’ve never spammed the tank so much as yesterday). And it, actually, worked. I was getting kills (mostly easier than before). I barely took any damage. And when I did, I was, actually, being healed. I barely died. And I won 6 out of 8. My experiment is still going and I don’t think that it may work every time, but in general it does atm.

So, I’m just seeking for other people experience and opinion. Does ‘rules’ of playing in lower elo differ from those in higher elo? Does all these advices and tricks from higher elo players work mostly when the rest of the team is playing like them?

Asking this question specifically referring to playing Cassidy, but I have the same problem when I play Zen and a few other characters. I feel like I genuinely just can’t do anything against dive. either I flank, get jumped and die instantly, or play man with my tank and do nothing. what can I even do?

Maybe I’ve just had a bad few games, but every time I flank while team is engaging, the enemy tank just ignores my team, kills me in like less than 5 seconds and then goes back to fight main.

My angles are fine because they’re the same ones I play against other comps and win, but if I play further I’d be outside effective range. im thinking I just have to flank insanely deep so that im too expensive to kill? thanks
