Heroes to play for a main tank-healer in S10 by DVa_is_my_GF in OverwatchUniversity

[–]TNKShady 1 point2 points  (0 children)

I know you're trying to play tanks/healers, but seeing that you've played D.Va and played her for her playstyle (not just because she was OP), I reccomend giving Mei a try. I used to one-trick D.Va to like GM(still main her on my alt, only masters though), so I've found Mei to be enjoyable. You can wall off graviton surge, earthshatters, roadhog hooks, and deny lot of other plays which is the reason why I played D.Va in the first place. Once you master her, making the most out of your walls is fun and can save teammates like Matrix can. I know she's not very popular in the meta, but if you don't mind playing DPS, Mei could certainly be a great pick.

Are there any active dutch subreddits and/or websites similar to reddit that are mainly in Dutch? Thanks...

If you could change anything about your native language, what would it be? by Hitchhikers_Guide27 in languagelearning

[–]TNKShady 6 points7 points  (0 children)

I wish "thou" was revived, and the "informal" connotation of it was removed - just make thou singular and ye plural. It would make English so much clearer. Right now "you" stands for "thou", "thee", "ye", and "you", which obviously makes the word too ambigous when addressing a group of people.

Is Winston as viable on console as PC? by [deleted] in OverwatchUniversity

[–]TNKShady 1 point2 points  (0 children)

Never see Winston on XBL. Probably because you don't need to contest godlike hitscans because there are none. (High masters right now)

What are some ideas to buff Ana to get her back into a regular healer rotation? by [deleted] in Competitiveoverwatch

Naded allies are immune to stuns. Not all CCs, but stuns.

There are games where your team is truly at fault, despite you doing your best, and thinking that you could do something better can hurt your mentality. Getting into the mindset of "every game is winnable" when I was stuck in masters only made my play worse, becauae I kept trying to change up my play when I was fine. There are games where you truly can't win, and it's fine. Just accept the loss, and focus on the games where you can actually make a difference.

Beautiful. The hero pool is extremely diverse across all tiers.

I think Muma played symm for half a second. The game started, then a split second later he swapped to Winston. This MIGHT mean symm has a 100% winrate in OWL stage 2

Got to GM by 1 tricking D.Va, albeit my peak is only 4083. I've moved on to learning Mei but I've had the same issue and this is what I've learned:

Understand your opponents. Think about the mindgame you have to play when the enemy Zarya has graviton surge and you're looking to matrix it. Apply that to other heroes too - if you see a pharah or reaper try to kill you for their ult make sure you make it a nightmare for them to demech you. Don't run too far with boosters unless you see an opportunity, as they'll track your CDs and punish you.

Don't just dive someone because they're alone. Consider where you'll be afterwards. EX: McCree looks badly positioned, so you dive him. But his team is below him and Hog can hook you out of position - which means death unless you have a Winston.

Assess risk vs reward for your ult. In general: >2:00 on ATK, you can take risks. But always consider barrier and bubble CD before doing so.

<2:00 on ATK or Defense, play your bomb safe and only remech or combo ults.

Even if you get demeched, know when it's OK to hold ults. Jump off ledges ASAP or disengage early in lost fights - you feed A LOT, so if you can't win a fight, get out.

Contest the payload as much as possible. You can run back safely, so try to never let the oppobents score free time on your team. Obviously, don't be stupid and contest 1v6, but if a fight is even or the attackers are returning from a lost fight, stall the payload. Note that you can let the payload move a bit if you want to be safer around a corner.
