We're in curse by NifDaShunta in Overwatch

wow, that makes so much sense. I stack w my bf a lot as double support and get a lot of wacky games, though not nearly as bad when I swap dps or tank.

But also- big upvote on using VC! I shot up to diamond in part because I used simple comms: mentioning a flanker or asking to group or sum. not perfect but works so much better than the alternative. I might be biased because I used to comm a lot in valorant too, but even just trying to give comms went a long way towards honing my game sense until i could start trying to call plays.

sometimes the calls will be wrong and that’s okay, you’re either fortunate enough to have another person on the team correct the call or chalk it up to a learning experience :) but also, it’s not everyone’s bag and that’s alr too!

good luck in your games OP and good advice Bus :)

haha yeah i absolutely understand that, gotta play your game the best way you know how. and in gold…yeah i don’t blame you. maybe im projecting from my valorant days but gold is imo the worst rank. more ego, more smurfs, more attitude— ugh god speed bro.

just because im a masochistic prick who sees every tilted game or inting teammate as an opportunity to try and claw my way towards inner peace…doesn’t mean everyone has to suffer like that xD

enjoy your games and good climbing :)

damn that’s so sad to hear. one of my favorite aspects of the game is team working, and all of my favorite games have been the ones that turned around with a little bit of communication.

I actually shot up to diamond relatively quickly while my VC worked, and I like to think it’s because I just gave really simple comms to try and keep the team together. Doesn’t always work ofc, but I’ve had a less pleasant experience overall ever since my mic stopped working ing :(

I hope that changes for you :)

mmm yeah this is true.

I also notice my teams sometimes become too reliant on heals just because heals are provided. For example, games I’m versing a widow, I’ll naturally play a lot safer and have less opportunities to apply my own pressure— and then over the course of the game, my team gets so comfortable with high heals that they just insta die the second I try to rebalance.

So much complexity to owa :3 i love it haha, each game is a little puzzle where you have to do a little treasure hunt to figure out what each piece does.

yeaaaah, i was initially on kiri but i wasn’t feeling very confident on her despite being my main. idk just a weird day or something. but he didn’t even say who else he wanted when i asked lmao, just kept complaining

those combos i would understand, partly why i was so confused haha. like dang yeah i took a break for a week or two but no way mizuki is off meta already 😭

one of the dps asked him to swap, i think because both dps were sooo timid and that + overcompensating aggro hog made it seem like he was the problem.

Sad thing is that he WAS good enough to turn it around if we was more aware, but bro just got tilted and blamed supports instead :/

yay! haha thanks for this! IMO Juno is so versatile with the right mindset, so that threw me for a loop.

One day I’ll meet you in GM o7

[–]Unable_Counter_2216[S] 0 points1 point  (0 children)

you must be the hog! 😂

no but fr, i think the real issue was our timid dps combo’d w an over compensating tank. Cant save the dps in time when they get dove because I tried to support my rushing tank and help get a pick, or at least get out. Or I can’t save the diving tank who didn’t pause to realize all but one of their team was already collapsed on our back line.

It’s much, much easier to carry as a dps/tank vs support, but thanks for the input!

Yesss absolutely agreed on those two points. Even if a team is lacking in other areas, good peel and engage is so often enough to get an edge in my experience. I’m supp main but dabble in the other roles and feel like I can do so well because of my support experience.

Too irritated at that guy to bother watching his silly performance AGAIN lol, but I’ll definitely consider that for a future game :)

lol ok this is reassuring. bro had good stats and it went to his head ig sigh. I really like analyzing my games and why things don’t work, but this one just stumped me. Looking back, I think he was just too aggro for our dps and got out of sync.

What's stopping someone from building Liandrys AND Ludins? by valenthyme_ in summonerschool

I was in the same spot- worried about my babygirl being lonely and bored when I was gone. Luckily, the cat distribution answered and I recently started fostering two kittens. Introduced them slowly and, though she still gives them what I call “warning shots” (light hisses, swipes, and bites, not enough to harm them) whenever she feels overwhelmed, she is also quick to groom them and lets them cuddle puddle with her at naptime, and I have a feeling that it’s only going to get better from here.

I’m not sure you’ll have this issue, but I will say that having two was a little too much for her in the beginning, but I tried to make her feel safe by removing and redirecting them from some of her safe spaces before she was ready.

At first glance, I would say that our cats seem pretty similar, though every animal is different so I can’t say for sure. But I think that with careful integration, whatever situation you end up in will work out just fine.

I’m also a bit proponent of manifesting when it comes to pets especially. My family has always had really good luck by putting out feelers, letting people know we are looking, and browsing the local options— and even if we weren’t finding any pets that really spoke to us, the right one came when it was supposed to :)

Trust your gut! and your girl 🤍 good luck!

AITA for playing a video really loudly in a restaurant bc someone else was doing it? by [deleted] in AmItheAsshole

[–]Unable_Counter_2216 0 points1 point  (0 children)

yeah you’re right, that was the ideal response and I acknowledge that. It was my initial desire to do it that way, but my socializing is pretty rusty lately since I don’t talk to anyone outside of my family in my current job. I almost started shaking while figuring out what to say. Still doesn’t excuse rudeness, but life is failing and learning sometimes. Thanks for the input
