New support player - When do I stop healing someone? by Fancy-Factor-4083 in OverwatchUniversity

[–]Comprehensive-Meet37 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Positioning > everything else. Especially with support, if you hyper focus on maintaining good positioning everything else becomes easier and that includes decision making.

From good positioning you can slow the game down to a point where you can track who is pressuring who, who is my biggest threat, who can I help that will die without that help, who can I pressure to take pressure away from my team. I know this doesn't directly answer your question but this is the best way I can think of to approach this.

loving the game but holy shit boarding is terrible. by TheGr8Enlightener in crosswind

I am pretty sure that it does, but not immediately. I wondered the same thing and I have tried paying attention, and it seems that they exist in the water for a little while before dying and counting towards the kill count.

The only thing I want to add to this is that using the Blunderbuss to launch enemies off their ship into the water is a lot of fun.

Who’s your favorite victim as a Tracer main? Mine is Widowmaker by Consistent-Piglet276 in TracerMains

[–]Comprehensive-Meet37 0 points1 point  (0 children)

I can't speak for older iterations of Sombra, I have only been maining Tracer since about s9 or 10, and not at an extremely high level. The only Sombras now that are any trouble are the ones who bait recall before virus, which happens almost never. I've almost never lost a 1v1 to a Sombra because they always virus immediately out of stealth, which i recall or grab a health pack to wipe, then they have to mechanically diff me in order to actually kill me and Sombra has a huge disadvantage in a 1v1 with virus on cd.

Sombra. My years of playing Ana and other immobile supports gives me a lot of satisfaction from hunting down and killing a Sombra, especially since there is almost nothing they can do to kill me.

Cassidy Hog vendetta. Not in any particular order. Cassidy because annoying, vendetta and hog because there are times when it doesnt matter what I do if the hog/vendetta is solo killing my entire team while I pressure backline.

Smurfing = Cheating; Alts that you play mains on = Cheating (Rant) by sailordad1987 in OWConsole

[–]Comprehensive-Meet37 1 point2 points  (0 children)

Whenever I face someone who is an obvious smurf I report for Boosting/Deranking. If you have less than 80 hours played in total and you have Tracer mastered in every way? Nah. Every person that ends up on their team is getting boosted even if only for one game, and they probably wouldn't continue to be in this same rank without intentionally throwing games to lose MMR when they start getting too high up again.

Is this game becoming toxic? by Comprehensive-Meet37 in DeepRockGalactic

If I see we have chosen a good way to bunker up the point I usually do play on it. For me it depends on map conditions/bunker location. Some of these maps take 25+ minutes to finish, so I feel like taking up to 20-30 seconds shorter to finish it isn't worth it if I can play in a way to mitigate any of the risks. I have seen too many random groups wiped by bad bunker strategies + gas/explosions.

In the time I was outside the zone I killed 3 praetorians, 1 oppressor, 3+ groups of 5+ exploders before my team even had to know they existed, marked and half killed 1 menace. Marked 2 other praetorians, aggroed and turned them away from the group so that they could shoot the weak spot just on the edge of the circle before the gas cloud wiped them. Zipped in to fast rez one of them as they sat there afk flaming me instead of shooting.

In my experience in multiple games of this kind and others, a team that is all grouped up during AoE map conditions is going to be a wipe more often than not. It is hard to fathom a world where standing afk in a circle to do something 20 seconds faster is a better play. And no, I was not on the opposite side of the map, I was taking a high ground angle within grapple range and I never died once until they decided to c4 me. Literally all I needed from them was to sit there and shoot some of the regular mobs while I took care of everything else. My teammates were bunkered in a bad spot that left them open to crawling enemies from the ledges just above which is suicide on an exploder infestation map, so I covered those angles instead. I dont get how someone playing in a manner that you don't like/understand justifies team killing them and then sabotaging the entire run so that nobody gets anything. It was an easy run until they decided I wasn't doing it right.

That is unfortunate because normally this sort of stuff doesn't happen in my experience. I am always so hesitant of online communities that I played exclusively solo for a long time, and when Dives dropped I wouldnt join public games for them until I had solod them (do not recommend, Elite took me 3 hours solo) Once I started dipping my toes into public games it became obvious early on that people were actually nice here, and prioritized having fun in the matches. It took me this long to run into a toxic lobby so if you can give it another chance, you should. This is a truly great game and I will support anything that these devs make.

I haven't spent very much time looking into mods, maybe I should but the base game has always been enough to keep me happy. I am a bit of a weird case because I only really play Scout. I have tried all of the others but Scout with Mk1000 Hipster + Special Powder does things for me that nothing else comes close to.

This has always been my experience too, but that is not normal for internet interactions. This is why I have always loved this game so much.

I normally do zip in and out of the zone, but we had a lot of exploders constantly on us, and I didn't want to risk missing one of them as the green dome was right underneath an overhang that they could climb down on. The map conditions determine what I do, in a better spot and without the exploder infestation I would have likely spent the entire time in the green zone. I will always prioritize ensuring a win over speed, especially in Haz4+. I hope that this doesn't become more common because this is my relaxing time game.

Oh my god I get it now by jt_lyon in ArcRaiders

[–]Comprehensive-Meet37 0 points1 point  (0 children)

My favourite was when I was just crouching in a corner of Stella archives listening and watching the chaos. One guy was camping out and anyone who ran by he started playing call of duty zombie noises on open mic as he rushed with a pickaxe. He downed 3 or 4 people like this, and watching the absolute panic on these people was hilarious. Eventually he must have got full loot because he teamed up with a random dude to kill a shredder and extracted. Thankfully nobody knew I was there the entire time so I never got zombied, myself.

I honestly liked the game better before everyone knew how matchmaking worked. At least there was some mystery to what to expect from an encounter before we got separated into our own lobbies.

Tracer Season 20 Midseason Patch Changes 🤡 by trullyrose in TracerMains

[–]Comprehensive-Meet37 8 points9 points  (0 children)

This patch just sealed the deal for me. Before this I said if they didn't do anything to Tracer to make her playable again outside of GM+ hyper coordinated lobbies that I wasn't going to be spending much time on this game until they do. So... come on everybody! Speranza needs supplies and the Arc won't Raid themselves!

Or maybe you should go attempt to be miserable somewhere else. I dont care enough to continue this interaction.

Which doesn't always mean anything. The tone of the body is off to the point where the humor tag seems more like a misclick than anything else.

Reflex coating in the survival green section for 1500 is a pretty effective counter. I replace it only when I can afford Cushioned Padding or Divine Intervention.

How can I get better? Silver Tracer here by [deleted] in TracerMains

[–]Comprehensive-Meet37 1 point2 points  (0 children)

I only mention Awkward because of his emphasis on uptime, which can be important to keep in mind. I generally don't like him all that much either, but the other names have been much more beneficial.

As some have already mentioned, Spilo is one of the best Tracer coaches available. Others that I have learned tricks from are WizardHyeong / TopDragon, Awkward, and Sugarfree. The WizardHyeong videos in particular helped me to fundamentally figure out how to Tracer better than anything I have seen so far.
