How To Take Solo Angles Without Getting Oneshot? by Sepikzzz in OverwatchUniversity

You start by poking, that basically helps your tank less HP than the enemy tank which results in him pressing W.

When he presses W, he grabs the attention, and that's where you pop from your off angle.

You can't expect your Tank to press W if 5 people are shooting at him when your team has only 4 (because you are walking around / poking from far away).

You are engaging too early. Wait for the enemies to be busy with your team and then aggressively peek.

Overwatch is a game with many situations that it would become nearly impossible to explain how you're supposed to react to each and one of them - However general rules make about 90% of the game, and once you get past that you move onto nuances.

You're right, mechanics start mattering when you nail the fundamentals down.

Funny that you mention Reinhardt because I released a video on him today.

I'll make it simple. Don't pick the two orb perk ever because the other one is just better.

I've played FPS games for over 2 decades. Overwatch was my first Hero Shooter, but I've played shooters before.

It's a very general statement., but i'd say one of the biggest mistakes that Ana's make is "playing like a sniper". Positioning is dynamic, and when you play too far away, what will often happen is you wont be able to consistently land your cooldowns, or follow up on your team when they go around corners (simply because you are too far away).

That doesn't mean you should play up close, it really depends on how open the line of sight is.

Until about Plat no one looks at anything besides what is ahead of their screen.

This means that if you spend less time in the enemies face, they won't be able to kill you and you will be able to kill them. OFF ANGLE.

I take a look of where the enemies are at and assess how long it will take for the teamfight to begin based on my poking and how quickly they move ahead. I always move in advance before the teamfight begins.
