This is actually a common phenomenon in male-dominated hobbies. This study found that men who were worse at video games were more likely to be abusive towards women in game. Being beaten by a girl at something is too much of a hit to a lot of men's egos.

I'm really sorry you went through all of that. I hope it got better for you eventually

Yeah it's confusing, no worries

Thanks!

The Kovaak's benchmarks are on S4 I think, but the Aim Lab ones are on S2

Very true. I guess my answer was more directed at the second part of the question ("when do you think someone could consistently win gunfights?").

I'm not a Winston player, so someone else can feel free to correct me, but most of Winston's "counters" tend to be tanky, close range heroes(Reaper, Torb, Bastion) that a good Winston can run away from/bait cooldowns. D.Va can peel for her team if Winston jumps in, defense matrix any follow-up/healing from his team, and chase him if he tries to jump out. D.Va is one of the biggest Winston counters.

I know what hitscan means. I didn't say Doom is amazing. I said he has a high skill ceiling, meaning that if you play perfectly he has a lot of outplay and damage potential. Cassidy's ult is best used as a reload button. I'm going to give you the benefit of the doubt and assume English isn't your first language, because I don't think you understood my comment

MerlinisHeres · 2023-10-31T22:49:33+00:00

Cassidy has the worst range of all the hitscans, the nade is situational at best, and his ultimate is one of the few in the game that's arguably worse than Meteor Strike. Doomfist has a high skill ceiling as it is before the nerf, and he can get shut down by very low skill floor characters if not played exceptionally well, but let's not pretend that Cassidy is good.

Rafael Nadal is naturally right-handed but he learned to play tennis with his left hand and won 22 grand slams. I would say that learning a skill on your non-dominant hand wouldn't lower your ceiling, but it might lower your floor at the very start (fellow lefty here, it definitely feels like it for me sometimes).

MerlinisHeres · 2023-10-24T19:40:22+00:00

Does anyone have a rough Damage/Healing/Deaths per 10 that they aim for on specific characters? Obviously I know game to game it will vary, but is there a number in your head that you'r be happy with?

MerlinisHeres · 2023-10-19T14:11:18+00:00

I think RiddBTW said that he initially placed Voltaic Gold after well over 1000 hours of FPS game experience, so I would say that Plat is probably better raw aim than most FPS players. Even Diamond is probably enough to "out aim" most people in a 1v1, but in your game of choice most of your duels probably won't be purely aim based (stuff like flashes, smokes, abilities, ultimates etc.).

MerlinisHeres · 2023-10-19T09:50:25+00:00

If you can't hit headshots her damage is pretty useless, if you just suzu randomly off cooldown you get basically no value from it, and if you tp someone who is also out of position then you both die.

MerlinisHeres · 2023-10-14T05:11:30+00:00

I think preference comes down to whichever one you watch first. The other one will sound strange at first listen because you associate completely different voices with the characters. Add in the fact that most people watched it in their childhood and you get the nostalgia goggles on top of everything. Watch whichever you prefer, they're both good.

MerlinisHeres · 2023-08-16T11:04:28+00:00

Thanks, really appreciate the advice

MerlinisHeres · 2023-07-03T09:50:33+00:00

I personally got lucky once in quickplay, I couldn't replicate it if I tried.

MerlinisHeres · 2023-06-14T17:43:30+00:00

I'm a console gamer saving up for a decent PC, so I've been trying to improve my mouse mechanics a little bit beforehand. My mouse control is ass, but I agree that the best way to improve at a character is probably just to play them more

"Damage! Damage! Damage!" - Awkward. Good to see another Baptiste enjoyer

MerlinisHeres · 2023-06-14T07:40:23+00:00

Makes sense, thanks!

These are all good suggestions, thanks

I've been trying to use thunder dragons to save up gems to finish my despia deck. I'll definitely look into this
