Carrying lower ranked lobbies as tank
submitted by /u/IntelligentWave194 to r/OverwatchUniversity [link] [comments]
I’m a 5v5 tank main and typically hover around low gm.
Whenever I get put into lower ranked games where I’m expected to be the carry I almost always lose, if I ever get put into a game where everyone is high diamond-low masters it’s honestly just a gamble on if my teammates are gonna be better than the enemy and I end up having like no actual impact.
It’s not uncommon for me to lose 34-35 sr from these games since the game was expecting me to mega carry, but I just can’t seem to ever make it work? This is a persistent issue I’ve been dealing with for a while and if I had to buy an estimate on my wr in low ranked lobbies I’d say it’s somewhere in the low 20%.
I’ve tried watching the replays from the games but I just can’t figure out what the trick is? It’s like whatever I do is wrong. If I walk in and pull attention my team stays behind and waits for me to die, if I play safe with them they just get picked off one by one by the enemies from range, if someone on the enemy team is doing really good and I target them, my team just dies to someone else and if then switch my attention to them, the original threat starts running through my team again.
I mean it’s not even like I finish these games with monster stats or anything I myself feel like I’m just not providing any value because whatever I do just ends up losing us the fight one way or another.
I understand that I can’t play the same in these lobbies as I do in my main lobbies and I’ve really tried adapting my playstyle to it but I just can’t seem to ever win, it’s always just a steamroll.
This post mostly goes out to the tank community since dps is really easy to carry on especially in lower ranked lobbies since non of the attention is on you and you are allowed to just walk around killing everything, support is similar, you just go illari or bap and deadlift your team by killing everything.
On tank however I feel like it’s genuinely just a gamble on if ur master5’s will be better or worse than the enemies master5’s, so does anyone have any advice?

Frustration/ mini-vent?
submitted by /u/Mungadai82 to r/OverwatchUniversity [link] [comments]
Full disclosure right up front, I am not and will never be a top tier OW player. I'm a 50 year old disabled vet with nerve damage in my left hand. I make do, but I know I'm just an average (maybe below average?) player. I stopped playing when OW2 came out and came back for S1 here. I was a silver player back then, and highest I've ever gotten was Gold 3. I've accepted that is probably my skill level and I still have fun in the game. This season I struggled a bit hitting Silver 4 before plummeting back into bronze ranks.
My question is, and again I ask this as a "bad player" but why are their so many bronze/silver players that bust pump damage into tank shields, or D.VA's matrix for no reason or worse, ignore the half dead mercy pocketing them, trickle in one at a time, dont push the point, run away at the first enemy and wonder why the die and we lose 0-3? Again, im not a super awesome player, i mess up, i dont do everything right, i overextend, but some (most??) of the people ive played with seemingly have no clue that they can actually swap heroes or use corners/cover? Is this just a low metal rank thing? i dont remember it being this bad before.
Edit-BTW, thank you for the good advice and giving me alternate perspectives. I was wary about posting anything because the internet is the internet and all, but I was hoping I'd be able to glean something useful from even the worst response. I don't want to be a bad player, and I'm definitely going to utilize the advice ive gotten to get better at my gameplay.

You’re Engaging Too Late as Tracer! (How to Fix It)
submitted by /u/Gefest_OW to r/OverwatchUniversity [link] [comments]
Hello, guys! This is edited session with one of my students, where I talk about how to time your engagements and how to play against snipers/ burst characters as Tracer.
Video link: https://youtu.be/52fk6ZtbCLM
KEY TAKEAWAYS:
1. Play around spikes of pressure
- Make sure your teammates are committing major resources and engage in sync with those. In general it is good to time your pressure with tank. - You must already be in position before this happens. If you are still rotating when big resources are being used, you are late, and the enemy will have time to react to you.
2. Positioning & Rotations
As tracer you need to setup to minimize your downtime
- Be one blink away: try to be exactly one blink away from your target by the time your tank engages. - Don't spend too much time waiting. Use cover and short range spaces to get close to the enemy backline while the tank and your teammates are regenerating resources. - Poking from a distance is low-value usually. It is better to stop shooting, stay hidden, and reposition for a deep dive → sync with your team aggression (tank/ big cds) - Playing around your recall. If you take too much poke damage while setting up, you are forced to use Recall early. Use cover and try to sync your recall with engagement from your team (Use blinks for dueling first and later look for options to invest your Recall)
3. Dealing with Snipers
- Anticipate the Sightline: If a sniper knows your angle, you must reposition. Walking around a corner into a Widow's crosshair OR doublepeeking the same angle may lead to instant death - The Blink-Peek: Instead of walking into a sightline, use a blink to cross the corner. It makes you much harder to hit (throws off enemy aim) you can reposition horizontally or drop/ get up on highground (Throw off enemy aim in 2 dimensions)
4. Targets specifics.
- Dealing with offangles: identify enemies taking aggressive off-angles (Example: fighting with enemy tracer on the angle) and contest them as your first priority, so you will have better map control - Isolated Targets: An Ashe or Widow standing alone is a free kill if you setup faster than their team can rotate to help. - Distracted Targets: Focus on anyone who is distracted → much easier to hit

Support was my role, can't play it anymore
submitted by /u/redh_nc to r/OverwatchUniversity [link] [comments]
I don't know why, but my best results are as DPS, which I never played much because I'm not that good at aiming...
I've always been a quite good support, okay tank, and not good DPS, now it's all reversed.
I feel like I can't compensate the lack of awareness and damage of my team when I'm support anymore.
One will always say "just get good", but I feel like there's more to it. General skill has dropped a TON since so many people came back

Twitch Drops
submitted by /u/EducationalCredit105 to r/OverwatchLeague [link] [comments]
I noticed that the twitch drops running currently go until the 24th but I checked the schedule and the playoffs ended on the 12th. Does this mean that it’s impossible to get the drops now?

They weren't joking with her ult.
submitted by /u/Void_entity94 to r/Overwatch [link] [comments]
180 damage per bomb, with 72 damage per AOE, and there are 23 BOMBS. In corridors, given Dorothy's speed, it's an instant kill before you can react 😭
"Dva matrix, I need you Dva matrix"
Edit : also it only costs 1800 ult points, and I remind you she'll have AUTO TRACKING SHOTS most of the time, which means she'll get ult pretty fast.
