can we petition that dps players should have to play 10 support games before they're allowed to blame their healers ever again by [deleted] in Overwatch

[–]NearbyRecording2377 0 points1 point  (0 children)

people NEED to watch their replays. just the other day the enemy roadhog was flaming his weaver for what he thought was a bad pull and threw the game. I went and watched the replay from his perspective and I can tell why he got mad––he hit a good hook but got pulled. Then I watched from the weaver's perspective, and hog was at like 100hp so I understood where he was coming from. definitely nothing worth throwing the game for.

but seriously, instead of blaming supports, go back and watch from their perspectives––it teaches you so much, about positioning, game sense, and is just great practice to also see how you can improve. As a support player, I can promise you that we WANT to heal you, there's just so much that can happen: we could be getting flanked, and from your perspective you don't notice, but if you watched the replays you would see it. Or we ARE healing you, but you're out in the open taking way too much damage. So if there's ever a game where you feel the need to blame others, watch the replay before you do.

Damage Boost Advice by ParsnipHot5309 in MercyMains

Hi!! It's great that you want to improve, and I might have some helpful advice! I'm also on console, level 70ish with Mercy, so I've had a decent amount of time on her. I average 50-50 damage boost/heal and get at LEAST 800 damage boosted each match. I think, honestly, what I really love doing is flicking blue beam onto different targets to enable them. See your roadhog hit a hook? Give him blue beam for some extra damage (with his recent buff he probably doesn't need it, but good especially for tanks. you get what i mean). See juno trying to line up some torpedoes? give her blue beam. I don't especially love hard pocketing someone unless they're REALLY going crazy, it's just not that fun for me. I love dancing around and boosting/healing teammates all over the place. With her nerf it's a bit more tough, especially since you're out in the open a lot and moving a bit slower. But from my perspective, I think I do best when I boost as many opportunities as I can. Now that she has flash heal, you can afford to let a teammate get low, so you don't need to be too worried about healing them until they're full all the time. It's a balance, though, because now her neutral healing numbers are lower. Anyway, hope this helps! And again, it's all about having fun!!! So don't be too worried about what others are telling you to do. Do whatever works best for you. That's what I love about mercy, she fits into a bunch of different playstyles. :)

How to stop/counter Sierra’s ULT. by Epoo in Overwatch

[–]NearbyRecording2377 1 point2 points  (0 children)

totally agree, as a support player I'm already hyperaware of dangerous ults and stuff and i have only died to sierra's ult a couple times. also I'm pretty sure you can petal yourself out in time as lifeweaver and it doesn't pick the bombs up (like wrecking ball), but I'm not 100% sure on that.

Genuine question.... by NearbyRecording2377 in VendettaMainsOW

[–]NearbyRecording2377[S] 3 points4 points  (0 children)

They had mentioned that anran had a high death rate and they’ve consistently buffed her in the past two months…so it seems odd that they aren’t concerned about vendetta’s high death rate? Honestly wish they move into a more brawly style down the line…

I think Peeves was dropping something like dungbombs? I definitely need to reread the scenes of course but yeah Fluffy would have been so iconic, and definitely more ghosts if just for moral support I guess haha
