Had a really rough game as Sigma on Rialto at the end of late night loss streak, tilt queuing against my better judgement. The enemy widow and hazard ran the lobby and it was not close. I felt I was playing very poorly (as one does when tired and tilted). But at the end of the game our Ashe went crazy in chat. Claiming that it was my fault and that they were actually a champ player (lol). I was wondering…

A) What I could have done to make this game at least competitive

B) Any general improvements I could make

C) Did my Ashe really have the markings of a Champ player

D) Was the enemy Widowmaker cheating, my Ashe also made this claim, however watching the Vod back myself nothing the Widowmaker (or any other player on the enemy team) did seemed like cheating.

I switched from console to PC in season one and Overwatch is my first PC shooter so my mechanics are exceptionally bad.

Started queuing support more recently with a duo and hit diamond 4 playing Lucio.

But me and duo hit a slump of losses, maybe like 10 in a row? I think 3 of them we had leavers and 1 was a tank who was trolling and refused to play so oh well.

The more prevelant issue is that way to frequently we’re getting dps who are just plain and simple bad at overwatch.

consistency peaking corners at 2hp or diving in without considering anything first, bad aim, bad ults, going negative.

I tried allocating more resources to them to stop them dying and ive tried putting more resources towards the better of the two dps rather than waste my time with the lost cause.

However I am really struggling. What can I do to help dps who are playing badly to try and push them because it feels very reliant on support for my dps can actually kill things if I want to win.

Side note - me and my duo like to run a lucio, anna backline.

I just started playing OW a month ago and it’s also my first shooter - I strictly play DPS I want to grind comp and climb as high as I can but I just can’t get in the mood to review my matches. I don’t know if this means much but I main Anran, secondary Mei and Cassidy. I finished placements to get Bronze 1 and won again to get Silver 5 - and now begins the grind.

i know, I know.. taking OW seriously means learning to identify your mistakes and that requires you actually review and identify your mistakes in game. But ive watched how some coaches break down their students games and they go into so much details that I feel I won’t know how to diagnose my own gameplay.

im also saying this as I went 2-3 for the day.. so right now the only thing I can think is “Oh great… that’s 3 games I have to look at”. Because while I do want to learn how to improve… I also just, wanna play. But if I just want to play and not improve than I’d be better off in QP.

You guys have any advice to simplify and make vod reviews more efficient? when I was playing league, one piece of advice I got was; If nothing else, at LEAST review your deaths.

I also had my friend suggest that I review my replays a day after - when I watch replays on the Same day I tend to try and justify or reason why I did a certain play.. but by waiting a day, I won’t remember quite what happened in the game. so instead of going “yeah but I had my ability I was just too slow” I may go “…okay why did I do that? Obviously I shoulda done ____ instead”

Sorry. I don’t really have a tangent - my brain is fried after today’s games

I've recently started playing OW so I'm a beginner, but I've found three characters I really enjoy. Could you share some insights on when to choose each of them?

What strengths they have over each other and what are they weak against? It seems to me like all of them have moderate or tricky but strong ways to deal with a diver tank or DPS. And I probably shouldn't pick Wuyang vs aerial heroes. Ana's ult feels like the hardest for me to get value from.

Would map choices matter a lot between these three? Are there some maps where all of these would be particularly weak compared to some other supports?

If I kept practising these three, what would be the gap in my choices where I would struggle or even mostly lose?
