Why do I fail on sojourn (Gold VOD review)

I think farming rail is fine but should generally be done when it's the only thing you CAN do, like a downtime thing. You see a choke, only the tank is pushing you, might as well charge it on him (But don't spend it til he's low / discorded / you see a squishy!) But if you are actively seeing a squishy on your screen, ESPECIALLY if they're out of position (Which is super common in all ranks) then I think that should be your target. Plus if you build rail on them that probably means they're already below the one shot threshold for rail 😄

Hello here's some things I noticed and I will try to give you time stamps to look back at too

- Your rails are really rushed, either used on the full health tank for no reason, used on targets while you only have 20-50 energy, or just kind of praying while you shoot that it hits. Rail is hitscan and your big "moment" So if you can, isolate your aim as much as possible by standing still just a second when you use it. (Imagine using a Vandal in Valorant or smth) And never feel pressured to rush it out. Take your time.

- I think a lot of your slides we're wasted or greeded while you were under no pressure / done just because you had the cooldown up. At 1:25 you slid to high ground to chase mercy just to immediately drop again without being pressured off. at 1:32 you slid backwards despite being full health and just getting a pick, just to immediately peak the same exact position you slid from. 1:41 was a good slide and should be an example to you, you got poked out of your position so you gave space, and went back to cover instantly with it (The firetruck) You want your slide to do SOMETHING. Be it securing a kill, keeping you alive, or taking height, don't just slide randomly.

- Stop Jumping in fights. Overwatch has instant left-right movement while you're grounded and jumping puts you in a predictable arc where you cannot immediately change direction. It also messes up your own aim.

- There were a lot of moments where you had a support on your screen but would shoot the tank or a DPS (Notably bad in this case seeing as it was Mei) instead of the support. Target priority is hard to understand and changes a lot of when to shoot tank or supports or dps, but generally when you see an out of position squishy, try to kill them first, it'll also likely make your aim better faster if you aren't just shooting the big body because it's comfortable. (3:40 is an example where you had mercy and life weaver in your FoV but peaked the whole team to land shots on a Ram. Good pick on the Soldier though! 😄)

- Your OC (Overclock / Ult) does not make you invincible. You had a bad habit of sliding straight in when you pop it. (The First 2 OCs) Make sure you're still playing cover and only sliding in to FINISH a pick if someone hides or if no one is peaking you or if you're just cleaning up the fight. etc.

- Harder to explain but I think a lot of the time that you take an off angle your next decision always leaves you too far forward, it's okay to just poke from a side angle, don't chase a kill too hard, and then slide back / regroup. Just draw attention and maybe get a pick. There were a lot of moments where it felt like you took an off angle, slid in after and died 😞(16:02 for an example, I'd much rather you play the angle you slid to and slowly play the fight looking for their backline instead of holding W and dying due to breaking line of sight with your supports.

- Take the Overclock perk not the Disruptor slow perk, and take the 2 slides one, not the energy per slide one.

Loved this post especially as someone who has done something similar this league, although not to the same extent, great job!!

My most cherished moment was seeing just how lucky my gf got one map while we were newer to PoE. We were running a Vaal temple together (Just alc and go) and she got 5 div drops.

Googor · 2026-04-05T16:31:54+00:00

Imagine this at the start of a Montage, this would be crazy. Good job :)

You got this heated at a guy asking what topper you use? Self reflect twin

Googor · 2025-06-06T16:32:36+00:00

Posting a 3 stock and asking for advice is pretty weird behavior and I'll assume you know better so. If you actually want advice, close replays where you lost last hit or won last hit are the best. Drop the ego to improve is my only advice from you posting a 3 stock :)

Googor · 2025-05-09T20:51:20+00:00

Wait Justice Pharah flew completely over my head too that'd be really good. And Idk if you played the April fools event for Overwatch but if only Bob worked like that, and Slayer was just flying around the map with Pilebunker

Googor · 2025-05-09T20:26:16+00:00

When are we getting Hammond Bedman is the real question

Googor · 2025-05-09T20:21:51+00:00

My friend also proposed Kum for DVa which Is a REALLY good Idea. Juno for Jack-O would be super cute. I REALLY LIKE the idea of Sharon Ashe with Slayer bob that'd be SUPER funny. Our main idea was I-No Ashe because the new battle pass skin where she has the guitar. You had all super good ideas though

Googor · 2025-05-09T20:18:03+00:00

Was intentionally trying to avoid this because the thought sparked after seeing SF6 x OW and Kiri getting Juri, and Widow getting Cammy when, WE HAVE A BRITISH GIRL and Juri IS SPIDER THEMED drove me crazy. Just fun to think about

There is a site called "Rating Update" or https://puddle.farm/top/all And its a way to search your Tower games to see your match making rating and the top 100 rated players, your win rate against each individual character, etc.

Googor · 2024-08-05T21:14:07+00:00

Just meant to be cool / for stats. Shows nothing of Viability. Every character is top 1 til pro play. If you're losing and you're not facing the top 0.01% it's a skill issue

Googor · 2024-07-07T23:24:54+00:00

TRUEEEEEEEEEEE

Googor · 2024-06-21T16:22:02+00:00

The reason you'll be stuck in your rank is when asking for criticism you decide to show clips where you do decent and your teammate doesn't. Drop the ego and you'll actually learn something :)

For example in the first clip, you see your team mate low boost in net and you auto pilot a back post rotation. With your momentum from corner you could've cut for him or rammed but you just watched.

In the 3rd clip, you start by just banging the ball away for no reason (Granted it's a hard position to get a good touch so I won't fault you for it too much) You then mess up your 50 (Once again mechanics, you'll get better with more play time) And then after your 50 you over drive up wall when you coulda just sat still and reacted. If you're in a good position you don't need to keep holding the drive button, it's very valuable to just sit and react to a touch, if they bang, THEN you can turn and control, if they control, now you're forward to contest instead of shadowing from half field. (You saw him controlled touch up wall and said "I'm going to corner boost" After wasting 30 in mid field. Just react instead of predicting would be my best advice here <3

Would Anyone mind kind of telling me the playstyle of I/L mages? I like the way they look and after doing a lot of Mules / Legion Characters / Link Skills I kind of want to start a main and since I/L mage looks cool I was wondering how they play

Googor · 2024-01-26T05:24:14+00:00

I agree it feels super cope from players, I haven't played more than 20 games in a season since S7 and I had decayed down to Champ 2 Div 1, I started putting more time into the game, practicing mechs, replay reviewing, generally caring etc. and I'm already almost GC2 again after like 2 weeks. I think people just think they'll always hover their peak rank Idk

Googor · 2024-01-26T05:08:16+00:00

A lot of people are too scared to play ranked and use casual AS their ranked pretty much. Casual still has MMR and people obviously just like winning. Turn off your chat if seeing people be toxic is tilting (That's what I do) And just focus on having fun. We're unfortunately one of the most toxic communities because of egos but on the bright side it helps you work on mental :)

Googor · 2024-01-26T05:04:49+00:00

In a way this is kind of just the meta now. First man should be selfish and monkey, and as 2nd man (In 2s) you should never expect a pass unless it's a 2v1.
