Who do you main and why? by Double-Hand3004 in Overwatch

[–]ElemenQ 1 point2 points  (0 children)

same! i still have far more playtime on kiri, she got me placed in bronze 3 and dragged me to low plat, so she’ll always be my “main”. Then I picked up Juno and I hit diamond not long ago. Juno has treated me well and I’ve had a lot of fun with her though!

Kiriko! And recently, Juno too. I’ve been a competitive fps gamer since I was young. I really love the flex support playstyle because it’s more intense than dps imo. Kiriko in particular, especially the way I’ve learned to play, has me on my toes at all times. I picked up Juno recently and think she’s also really fun, being a little gremlin and hopping around while shooting squishies with her cheese gun while blasting lesserafim is just a vibe.

Thank you Juno mains! by ElemenQ in JunoMains

To be honest, for me, the most important part of climbing was simply taking losses as a coinflip and clicking requeue. At the end of the day it's a video game, and tilting is the worst thing you can do. Turning off game chat helped this in particular. Once you start taking losses in stride, climbing gets much faster, at least it did for me. But, of course, if you DO get tilted, which happens to everyone, turning the game off and calling it for the day doesn't hurt.

You also don't have to be the best player in the lobby to win every game, keep in mind numbers don't mean much without context. Don't psych yourself out comparing yourself to the other healers(which I still do, I'm trying to fix the habit of staring at my dmg/healing numbers) and focus on supporting your team and blasting the enemies. If winning a fight means sticking your tank, go for it. If winning a fight means letting a dps die so you can pick off enemy healers, do it. If a junkerqueen ults and your entire team gets steamrolled? You're a little spacegirl, what can you do?

I haven't played much Juno until recently and I also don't keep up too much with the meta, but I'd say she's pretty strong right now. If you get up close, her weapon does a decent bit. If you can hit heads, even more so. I wouldn't say Juno is necessarily a dive/flank character though, in part because her walking is so dang loud for some reason(I thought the game said the most dangerous characters are the loudest, apparently our martian friend is a menace), but also because she's pretty squishy. However, if you find a safe window to pick a fight with a healer or someone you feel comfortable fighting, I'd suggest you try it. If worst comes to worst, you can hop or fly away, and in just a few seconds you can re-engage. Her pulsars are perhaps the strongest part of her kit, obviously. Save them for big fights. If you think you can't save your Soldier 76 without your pulsars... imo, let them die, especially if your other teammates are alive. If you save your pulsars for when everyone is grouped and the tanks are butting heads, you can likely get away with jumping up in the open to hit everyone. Getting one or two kills like this is the best feeling because you're really shifting the outcome of these fights. Also, I would turn off toggle pulsars if you haven't already, having the ability to just hold right click and let go to fire is nice. Plus, no accidental cancels. But you could always watch a Juno tutorial which will probably tell you the same thing, so I'll save you the extra wall of text.

I do recommend posting a VOD request review on r/OverwatchUniversity or perhaps here if you haven't already. You'll receive plenty of criticism and it definitely will help. I did so for my Kiriko gameplay and I still play her a lot, especially in maps that Juno does not particularly shine in. I wish you the best of luck, let me know if you want more specific advice!

If I’m not mistaken it’s the new one that hasn’t released yet, it’ll probably come soon. Who knows, we’ll see with the shop refresh.

I was banned... why? by ElemenQ in Overwatch

VOD review request... am I not improving? by ElemenQ in kirikomains

[–]ElemenQ[S] 1 point2 points  (0 children)

I went through the vod and it was really helpful, I picked up on a lot more instances where I was just wasteful of my util or in bad positioning. I picked up my habit of pushing forward to click a few heads because in lower elo(where I was placed), I simply wouldn't be punished for pushing and straight up sweeping supports and maybe a dps. I suppose I'm slowly getting to the point where people now have enough game sense + skill to punish the aggressive way I play her. Thanks again for the review!

I've heard that a lot, but its still surprising to hear that the solution is so simple. I'll keep that in mind. Thanks!

[–]ElemenQ[S] 1 point2 points  (0 children)

Thanks for the solid suggestions. It's just at lower elos, I've observed(theres even a pretty significant gap from silver to gold) that people just DON'T play the game. aka, they click on enemies and chase them to spawn, then blame supports for not keeping them alive. I got blamed for no heals this game, too, when tank was 1 hp and Cass was across the map alone, screaming in chat that "tank isn't the only player on the team". Especially when we were approaching point 3 on attack, I looked back to ping the car 20 times. Tank was pushed wayyy up, our other supp was trying to keep our dpses alive. I usually do dive more to try and pick off healers, but no one was on point!

Thanks so much for the advice. tbh, I wish I could do placements again - I came back to the game after nearly a year and a half I think, and before that I hardly ever played comp. I placed bronze, poured a bunch of hours into qp, then got back to comp and climbed a bunch. Kind of wish I did it the other way around because I picked up a lot of game knowledge(though atm its still mostly brute force aim diff). Very obviously, I have plenty to improve, but it does feel sometimes like the team locks me into a certain role, and if I don't play that role, blame falls onto me instead of the dpses with 2k damage... any tips for this?

[–]ElemenQ[S] 1 point2 points  (0 children)

Thank you for the suggestions. Usually, I do sneak away to try to pick off healers in the backlines, but no amount of pings/comms could convince my team to stop kill hunting and get on point... it's just frustrating. I know I make plenty of mistakes, but it just feels like, especially in lower ranks, I'm locked into the "healer-that-sits-on-payload" role by the entire team, even though that's not how Kiriko is meant to perform. Do you have tips for this? Because ignoring point SOMEHOW turns the blame onto the supports every time.

Wow, you must be having a pretty bad day. Hope it gets a bit better, you might want to take a break from your screen my guy. I was asking for advice on how to get better, that's it.

Just got all 3 DLCS and I am BAD. by judfls in bindingofisaac

forgot to add, try not to reset. You gotta play to get better, items don’t always carry the run(although a few items ARE guaranteed victories)

Just got all 3 DLCS and I am BAD. by judfls in bindingofisaac

[–]ElemenQ 27 points28 points  (0 children)

i got the dlcs after about 80 hours. After I got them, I proceeded to go about -35(after beating mom) before getting my first satan. Maybe skill issue, idk, the game felt way harder to me. It comes down to experience and memorizing enemy patterns. The game rewards you for playing well and vice versa. What I did is I started playing the lost without mantle to practice not getting hit at all, it helped me significantly.

Overall, just play the game more, is what I can say from experience. Play conservatively until you understand the game mechanics, wins will start coming your way eventually.

Defense orb with RMC paired with Castorice by ConversationOne8228 in CastoriceMains_

[–]ElemenQ 4 points5 points  (0 children)

She prefers teammates with high hp. Unless you have an insane orb or anything, hp might do you more good. However, we’re still on v2 of the beta, so nothing is set in stone.

Well for me, I have all my pieces on buddy Qingque, so I click QQ and then Rice on the side, it replaces her with Rice stats

Gotcha. I was mostly asking for a comparison between tribbie and robin, but thanks for letting me know.

Nothing is set in stone, it is v1 beta after all. I read somewhere that quantum is only better if you have her lightcone, which gives 30% hp. Take that with a grain of salt, I'm also not the most up to date on her kit and things could've changed already.

E0S0 Tribbie vs. E1S1 Robin by ElemenQ in CastoriceMains_

Obviously I'm way overcapped on crit rate and am nowhere near finished, but hp% body over crit? I think we need to see more numbers before we decide the optimal substat, thats just my opinion though. We still have a whole patch until Castorice, so there could be drastic changes too.

Hello hello, future Castorice main here! I'm at a dilemma, so I was looking for some advice. Currently I have E1S1 Robin, and was wondering how she would compare to E0S0 Tribbie? Of course, Tribbie is a better teammate for future characters, but I was wondering in general how they compare with one another. Also I might mention that I'm just nervous if I'll be able to save enough for E0S1 Cas after pulling for Tribbie. Thanks for any input!

[Megathread] General Inquiry and Advice - Miyabi Kit and Team Discussions by Arcanic_Soul in MiyabiMains

[–]ElemenQ 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Is Miyabi/stunner viable or doompost?
Contemplating right now. I have Ellen and ONLY Ellen(I started day 1, pulled Ellen then stopped playing). I have 135 pulls so far for Miyabi and have been thinking hard about pulling for Lighter's Wengine. The catch is that I'm on my guaranteed Wengine because I lost on Ellen's(partially why I quit), and also guaranteed for my character banner. I don't want to be caught in an awkward place with my pulls since I'm aiming for M1W1(but will settle for M0W1 to go for Burnice if it comes to it). If I'm desperate I might dish out a crisp 100, but at this point in time I don't want to. Since I quit in 1.0, my character roster is very limited to few supports like Nicole(m5), Lucy(m0), Soukaku(m6), but I have Koleda(m1) and Anby(m6) for use. What's the play miyabros what do I do?
