As the title asks, how do you play with intention? Like I know you're supposed to be critical and ask questions about why certain things happened. Logically, I know you're supposed to focus on specific mechanics and forget the outcome of the game. I know you should focus on whether or not you played better than the last game and determine what was the difference.

But personally, it's really hard to apply this. I mean, the times I do play with intention, I feel like I forget everything. Which yes, it means I wasn't truly playing with intention. But I don't know how to fight this. I always automate back to my old habits. And at least for myself, I get all too wrapped up in my numeric performance in game. Whenever it is sub-par, which is any time I die or any time I am not getting kills (I main DPS), I feel it is reflective of my skills as a player that I'm useless. And I feel unnecessarily angry and upset at myself for not being "good."

I know you're supposed to forget about the outcome. I try to play for fun and not performance but it is impulsively addictive to obsess over my performance. Even with Tab unbinded.

So how do you play with intention? How do you maintain clarity? I want to improve, I'm hard stuck in Plat and I don't know how to get out of my own head.

I believe all 4 characters popped their ults in a similar timeframe, or potentially an echo got 2 in a single activations. This was way back when echo would clone tanks since her health didn't get reduced at all

I'd appreciate any pointers

I am a support main however I wanna switch it up, I’m awful at dps so I was gna play tank. I’m currently ranked Bronze 1 and wanna try get at least mid silver.When I do play tank I go for dva or junker queen however, I also sometimes play orisa. I’ve noticed when I play dva my main issue is not dying when I dive in however, any help would be useful like who are the best hero’s to play and how to get the most value out of any hero’s. Thankyou

I know some tanks are really good at this tactic like doom and ball but I will sometimes get maguas that dive in with their dash and in the open. Im no blaming this person as if i was better im sure i could make up for this seemingly inefficient strategy until i get paired with tanks that use cover but in the moment it just seems like our entire team is hoping and praying for some good trades until we get an advantage. we are all at the same skill level obviously, so sometimes it works. I like to play bap and Brigitte but ive gotten every supp except mercy to at least 5 and tried them out. ive tried swapping to zen or wuyang and leaving the passive healing on them, its not enough an sometimes I think encourages them to stay in fights they shouldn't. I somewhat understand the dynamic of dive, poke and brawl comp. my issue is less about failed dives and more about how to provide the most value as support with a tank that will not fall back.

I know as with many other skills, gains in esports like Overwatch increase logarithmically. Meaning progress slows overtime. Be sad.Truth is, for genetic lottery may be more deterministic of one's standing in this game than most of us would ve comfortably with. I just feel so slow and my progress will in fact only slow. Is this rank afer 200 hours with a single character as a new player normal?

Tank main, so only play tank in both modes.

I struggle to have any pride in my 6v6 rank as I know the game is so much easier and less competitive than 5v5. Also rank inflation too.

I’ve seen people on Twitter say this season has been bad for tanks, if I said this it would just feel like cope as given my 5v5 rank being diamond. I got so much more things to work on before complaining about the game state (also what do I know as a diamond player compared to masters/gms/champs’)

Is 6v6 just baby mode ?
