I've been playing for 8 years but I'm still stuck in silver/gold. My aim is horrible even if I train 1h a day (more or less) in kovaak I can't improve. I have good game sence (at least better then the rank that I'm in): I call every once someone die, I call when to fall back and when to push, I suggest counter picks ectt, I call for the abilities that enemies used. The problem is at these ranks no one uses voice chat and no one listen, they don't stick together. Every game I feel like I'm the reason we are loosing, but I'm already doing my best. The only reasonable choice would be to change game with something else, the thing is I would really love ow if only I was good at it. Does anyone alse feel like I do?

First of all thanks to everyone for all the replies; those are really helpful. I play every role and a lot of heros (I know I sould focus on one) I mainly play zaria,rein, tracer, zen and others. I play on PC 1000 dpi 6,67 sens. Someone asked for some replays. I've got 4 (3 where I think I was not that bad and 1 where I was really bad)

Hi, I am looking for the VOD of the season 1 preseason that was aired in december 2017, on the MLG website ( http://eve.majorleaguegaming.com/overwatchleague ) that is not accessible anymore. Does anyone know if there is an archive somewhere ?

I was definitely overwhelmed with 5 new characters. First few games of ranked felt like I was playing a brand new game. Now that they've been out a few days, what do you think in terms of power scale and fun they bring to the game?

Domina- She seems broken in comp. Insane range, crazy poke, great sustain, cc, powerful shield. A stronger sigma.

Cat- Gamebreaking in organized comp IMO. Adds a unique aspect to the game. One of those heroes that feel like on your team she feeds, but enemy cat is impossible to kill.

Emre- I thought he was going to be another boring hitscan, but he feels different somehow. I'm not a hitscan player, but he is extremely fun to play.

Anran- I think given some time there will be people cracked at her, but right now she seems just ok, even though on paper her kit seems very strong.

Mizuki- Decent damage, but has limited range. His ult seems underwhelming compared to other supp ults. Low heals, easily kiteable, short duration. But I like that he can play as an assassin. Shift in, land a tether, assassinate a squishy, heal team.

I took a break at the end of season 18 after peaking Low Diamond. I wasn't burned out or anything, just had some life stuff come up. I finished my placements last night and placed High gold. I figured it was likely due to my mechanics failing me (honest to goodness rust), and the rank reset. I won most of my placements and 3/3 games I played after.

I felt the match quality was decently balanced and I'm climbing back really fast due to calibration. However, there is one glaring thing I have seen in gold that kind of baffles me...

Why are we shooting the tank so much?

Enemy team goes Orisa and my team is hard focusing her, while they (enemy team) are focusing my tank. So much to the point where I just picked Ana and stood in hotel and picked off both supports and a DPS. Even at that point, my team just doesn't walk forward until the tank is dead - like... it's 5v2.

It was just kind of bizarre that BOTH teams focused so much damage on the 2 players in the lobby that are designed to absorb damage...

I finished that particular game with like 7k damage and 6k healing... It was pretty wild. That was the case for a LOT of the games.

As the title states:

Don't shoot tanks.... Unless there is nothing else to shoot

Watch the kill feed

Shoot supports if they are out in the open

*Profit*

KEY TAKEAWAYS FROM THE VIDEO

MAP CONTROL

• You can set up multiple angles of attack on the point/ cart/ objective (more options on where to go)
• You can control more lanes on the map
• It is easier to control key angles

You don't have to stay on a power position forever. Use it to build an advantage (force a cooldown or get a pick), then "drop" or rotate to finish the fight

SCOUTING INFO

Power positions allow you to scout info easily

• Scout enemy threats and teamcomp
• Scout important CDS (Your/ enemy team)
• Scout enemy positioning

Once you are done scouting, think How it affects you as a player? --> How you can adjust resources, your position, etc

PASSIVE POWER

Play aggressive positions Passively

• If you have power position, it generates pressure, because it is an aggressive position. The enemy has to deal with you in order to control the point (if they ignore you, they risk dying) → This forces the enemy to do smth (Rotate, Use CDs, Ults and etc). The enemy might be forced into unfavourable spots on the map, which your team can capitilize on.
• Because you have cover (playing passively), you can stay in those positions longer and keep generating pressure
