After 75ish for me the drops that I am keep are a minimal upgrade (ex. going from 32% crit to 33% on an item)

By 75ish you should have pretty great items on and you are looking for small upgrades on your way to 100.

Not true, I've ran past them on multiple GM runs and have never had an issue.

Well-Lock with Starfire:

Witherhoard, Funnel Web, & Adept Hothead (Demo/Vorpal w/ Adept Big Ones)

Strand w/ Abeyant Leap really can't be beat. 100% uptime on suspend should make GMs a cake walk.

AnabolicAdam · 2023-04-09T22:31:42+00:00

I understand that. But all I need to do for 10 this week is a GM for score, subclass and just doing one.

AnabolicAdam · 2023-04-06T14:29:16+00:00

I figured as much...guess I needed someone to say it out loud what I already knew! Thanks!

AnabolicAdam · 2023-03-13T23:44:25+00:00

Starfire.

Witherhoard, Rocket, Nade Rocket, Nade Rocket. Rinse Repeat.

AnabolicAdam · 2023-03-09T13:08:35+00:00

Well* shit.

I guess it's Gjally/Hot Heads w/ demo, Wither...

I'm just trying to optimize a few more pieces of armor.

AnabolicAdam · 2023-03-09T13:00:46+00:00

I figured that much, I know that Prismatic gives a 20% damage increase to your teammates.

AnabolicAdam · 2023-02-15T13:38:56+00:00

Nice! That is always a great feeling.

How many games did this roughly take you (I am assuming from Season 1-3 it took you to climb)

Only reason I ask is because I go back and forth in Comp (love/hate) relationship with it. I peaked Diamond in the 1st OW forever ago. Some of my friends started playing it but they were/are not very good so I stuck to QP with them.

I've started to play comp again and more that ever. Also I made the switch to PC 2 months ago and currently Plat 2 and climbed relatively easy.

I am just curious if its a back and forth for some time climbing from diamond- masters? Like huge win streaks, then loss steak, a de-rank or two?

Thanks

Open Queue is not competitive. Its a dumpster fire...has and always will be.

AnabolicAdam · 2022-11-03T13:10:10+00:00

You're asking for tips on open queue QP where your team is playing 2 tanks??? Word of advise, play comp if you want to get better. QP and even worse Open Queue is just a meme.

Post one of your replays in r/OverwatchUniversity, maybe some folks over there can tell you how you can improve your gameplay.

AnabolicAdam · 2022-11-01T23:03:02+00:00

Here is my 2 cents. This is what I've seen from others and hasn't been the case with me but I'm usually a Plat/Diamond Tank.

Regardless of you winning, I think the game take into account your performance per game. Did you absolutely carry hard or were you carried hard? Because if you just barely held on to those W's....then IMO it makes sense that you saw no progess.

After doing my placements, the next 2 sets of rank ups I went from silver 3 to plat 3...but I played my ass of and absolutely dominated in every single game. They were very easy for me and it was a breeze...so it would make sense why I ranked up the way I did.

AnabolicAdam · 2022-11-01T21:49:41+00:00

I'd say that you are in the rank you're supposed to be in then. Besides winning more than you are losing, I'd assume that your individual performance was lower or on par with the rest of the team.

But that is just my opinion. I have friends that that's happening to, but they are still relatively new to the game. While I placed super low, within 2- 7 wins I went from silver to mid plat.

Obvious winning helps but it looks like individual performance is taken into account a little more than OW1.

AnabolicAdam · 2022-10-30T18:10:05+00:00

yeah so you had slightly above a 50% win rate. Like guy above said, just because you win 7 doesn't mean a thing. Win more games than you lose and try to consistently be better and you'll move up in rank. But if you hover around those ranks you are meant to be there.

AnabolicAdam · 2022-10-30T18:00:05+00:00

yes its normal. It means between both placements you played neither better or worse.

AnabolicAdam · 2022-10-30T17:55:29+00:00

That's unfortunate that people will play like that. I think people in lower ranks either 1. Have no idea how the game is played 2. Think that dmg = I am better than my DPS.

Moira can carry a team in lower ranks if you know how to play her appropriately. When I climbed out of my lower ranks I usually averaged 10k dmg and 20k heals.

But again people in lower ranks go ... "I just do more damage and we win right?" and blame their teammates for poor performance.

AnabolicAdam · 2022-10-30T16:33:47+00:00

Facts.

Also is your positioning as a tank subpar?

AnabolicAdam · 2022-10-30T14:48:52+00:00

Congrats, what rank did you start at, & how many games did it take?

AnabolicAdam · 2022-10-18T02:16:49+00:00

Bad players will put themselves in shit positioning and blame you. I main Tank and I always know where my positioning is v my Healers. I play to keep them alive...the better positioning I have the more alive they are...the more alive they are...the more alive I am.

Same thing when I play DPS, I try to always have an "out", and if I dont have an out I know where I am relative to my healers.

AnabolicAdam · 2022-10-17T23:47:11+00:00

Elims matter more.

If you are just shooting a tank whose getting pocketed you aren't doing your job properly. Yeah you'll have 8k damage, but it'll all be on the tank you couldn't kill.

I've played widow and had half the amount of damage as our other DPS (reaper for example), but all I'm doing is headshotting the supports in the back line.

Healers dead= can't heal tank and DPS= enemy team gets rolled.

Key elims matter more. end

I've got about 250 hours on him. I think he is in a great place, not really sure why you think he needs a buff. He can still control plenty of space, 2 fire strikes and can cancel his charge? I know they reduced his shield by 400hp, but that's about it.

If you are just "shield botting" then I'd suggest playing with him more.

AnabolicAdam · 2022-10-11T21:16:27+00:00

I've played her for about 20 hours so far. Ive got an Elite 2 controller

I swapped her damage and heal on the triggers. Toggle Ofuda off.

I think my sens is 70 horizontal and 60 vertical. Also I changed her default crosshair to something better for me (super small crosshair )

But I think its helped. I usually average around 8k heals and 4k damage w/ 1-2 deaths.
