I’m a tank main currently in D3 and I can’t for the life of me win against a decent Rein, I mostly play Sig, Orisa, Zarya so naturally I’ll lean into Orisa to deal with Rein, the issue is that it takes too long for me to push him out before someone on my team gets picked off by a Hanzo or a Tracer, sometimes I’ll ask my dps for a Bastion pick to deal with him but it still feels like a struggle against good Rein players, I’ve tried to mirror multiple times but I keep getting diffed because frankly, I’m mega ass on Rein, any tips? Should I keep practicing the mirror? Any resources that help with that? Thanks.

Bit of context I was once a hard-stuck diamond Ana and Mercy player.

I took a pretty significant break from ranked, whilst playing stadium and playing other games, and there has been a couple rank resets since I last played consistently.

I’ve absolutely got worse at the game, as to be expected and I’m not complaining about that or under any delusion I should still be the same rank.

However, in my placements so far (started off at silver 1) I’ve noticed the game quality is very different to what I’m used to.

I’m looking for advice on how to play in lower rated games , especially when I’ve built up expectations of how teams will/should play that just isn’t right anymore? Do I need to adjust my playstyle or will my games even out over a larger sample size?

Also any advice on playing Ana in this meta is also appreciated as I am very washed and struggling into the amount of kiriko, genji, ball etc.

Hello! I just hit diamond after YEARS of playing this game (since 2017, on and off but more consistently within this past year). First the goal was plat, and then I thought I could even reach diamond! I main mercy, and while I’ve heard people say u can one trick her to gm I find that to be impossible LOL. To reach diamond, I attempted to expand my proficiency with Ana and kiri and lo and behold! Now while I think high plat-low/mid diamond is my sweet spot, I’m wondering what separates a diamond player from a masters player? I imagine the gap is pretty wide, especially from low diamond to masters. Now that I’ve reached diamond (and while I think it’s probably my skill cap) a part of me wants to dare to reach outside of metal ranks! I’ve always been moderately good at most games I play, so it would honestly be such a cool achievement to be really good at one game! I know step one would be learn more heroes proficiently, especially Juno, brig, and Lucio, but what else really makes the difference? Thanks!
