Support main here in high diamond and decided to give the tank role another shot because im sick of the long queue times when playing support lol. Currently sitting at gold 4 and my mains are sigma and junker queen. A lot of people talk about "looking back at your team mates" while playing tank and I feel like I dont really know what that means exactly. I find it difficult to do this in the middle of a team fight since I also want to pay attention to the enemies positions and cool downs. When should i look back at my team and what am I looking for exactly and with that information how do I know if its safe to either hold position, push forward, or give up some space to the enemies? As a side note I noticed a lot of the times when we actually do have an advantage to push with, my team gets scared and wants to 4 stack on point instead of helping me claim the space before the enemies come back from spawn. I get a lot of "tank youre going to deep" messages because of that and while im used to doing this in diamond on support im not trying to have an ego and blame my team for not recognizing it but I do want to know how to work around that issue as well. Thanks in advance for any help.

Is there any possibility that the Thunder Doomfist skin is ever coming back? I've only started playing OW since a few months ago and I really want the Thunder skin, but I've heard it was tied to Overwatch League which isn't around anymore. But considering there are currently OWL skins in the shop right now, does that means there is a possibility that Doomfist Thunder could return? especially after the Mythic was underwhelming, I really want a good skin I can run on my main.

My wife and I love to play after work. We’ve been playing on and off since 2016. Back in the day we would play Moira and Lucio as our duo choice. We are still typically choosing the same, but I feel like we may be missing out on some utility? Her Lucio is really nice and I am a pretty decent Moira. (I MEAN AS DECENT AS GOLD CAN BE)

I fear it’s me who has to switch. Moira is kinda outclassed in a lot of situations as far as kit goes. I can obviously out heal every other heals but OW2 seems to need more from support. So who should I choose to go with Lucio? And who should she learn for Moira? Or do we choose a brand new duo?

This is our first ever Drive event, if that helps as far as timeline goes on how much of a break we’ve had.

decided to play tank cause dps q times too long lol. i like sigma the most and kinda want to otp him but from what i understand he is strong or meta so might be getting banned a decent bit.

still id love to play him whenever i can get him, hovever im really not sure what other tank to play in case sigma gets banned.

rly i just need a tank i can pick whenever i cannot pick sigma, i dont really care for counters or maps that much, at least not for now, i just want to play a character consistently, so ideally someone versatile that can be made to work in many circumstances like sigma would be nice.

Hi! I started playing OW2 about 2 weeks ago, and initially I placed Gold 3 on my competitive rank. Then I peaked at Gold 1 and now I'm demoted to Silver 1 after losing like 15 of my past 20 matches.

For context I play DPS and I really like Echo, but it seems like I can never win 1v1s against DPS or Supports, and when I do it's just pure luck. I know I'm bad at positioning, aiming, etc..., but in the heat of the game I don't know what to do so I just mindlessly shoot from wherever seems safe, which clearly is not working for me since I keep getting huge loss streaks where the enemy DPSs are miles better than me. It truly feels like when I win I get carried but when I lose I throw.

Feels like everyone has insane aim while I'm just a monkey trying to do damage. I die and die nonstop even when I feel like I'm in a safe spot. My friend said it's because during drives lower elos get filled with smurfs, but I'm not completely sure that's my situation, I'm just bad lol.

Any tips appreciated, I really would like to become better but everything feels so overwhelming during a match :(

Here are some of my terrible replays, feel free to judge:

I want to set the record straight here, i suck at the game, im silver on dps, and some scenarios, i dont know wether to follow what a pro would do or not

because i feel subconciously pressured to take risks that i know a higher rank player wouldnt do because i can get away with it + i feel i have to outperform my team to actually rank up, but i really dont know.

So im basically saying, if i treat my team and the enemy team like high rank players will that actually make me rank up? And if so, id like to understand how
