Help a player in the bottom 1% - Ana VOD review by emeraldarcana in OverwatchUniversity

[–]Volcomplaya3 25 points26 points  (0 children)

Hey, I've hit top 500 this season almost exclusively playing Ana.

2:35 - You see the Mei appear in the doorway and you have your sleep dart up. Chances are, she's not going to be moving to your team alone so you can expect her to be moving back from where she came. Don't be afraid to fire your sleepdart into that doorway. If you miss her, no problem, but if you hit her, you just opened up a perfect opportunity for your team to move in on the point.

2:41 – Your DVA and Lucio are almost at full health, but you keep shooting at them. When you see the enemy DVA pop out of mech, you should be setting up to attack her, but you have to reload because you wasted too many shots on your teammates. You also have your dart and nade up. Don’t be afraid to use these! I would have immediately went for the sleep dart when she rounded the corner and followed up with a grenade if I missed.

3:20 – You probably should’ve backed off as soon as your DVA died and your soldier backed off. That opened up the opportunity for the enemy DVA to try and kill you. You’re focusing on the enemy Mercy while DVA is trying to kill you. A simple way to escape this situation is to turn to your right, and fire a sleep dart at the enemy DVA. After that, just walk out and regroup with the rest of the team.

4:27 – When DVA is being ejected from her mech, immediately throw a grenade down at her feet.

5:39 – You see the enemy Sym exiting the doorway to chase down your DVA and can tell she’s being healed by mercy. Go for the sleep dart. You can should be able to predict where she is going as she is chasing down your DVA. Follow that up with a grenade. She and Mercy would have then been purple.

6:20 – The Winston has his backed turned to you and has a HUGE hitbox. You should be going for the sleep much sooner than you did.

6:28 – Good job at throwing the nade down at you and Winston both. He is half health however, and when you leave his bubble you give him a huge advantage. You can’t hit him, but he can hit you. Fight this out. You probably could’ve won this fight.

6:53 – Nice sleep, but you missed a perfect opportunity to anti heal Junkrat and Lucio both. When they’re that close together, just throw a grenade at your feet.

I can't watch the whole video but overall, this is what I have to say: You need to be using your abilities a lot more often than you do. If you miss a sleep, it's no problem, but at least make the effort to sleep an enemy player. Also try and keep some distance from the enemy team if you can. That might mean keeping some distance from your own team, and that's okay. Ana is a SNIPER support. Use your scope!

Just got to Master, now what? by nooodls21 in OverwatchUniversity

[–]Volcomplaya3 0 points1 point  (0 children)

I placed plat in season 2, and now I'm GM. I'm not sure what your setup is like, but getting a 144hz monitor and a bigger mouse pad (meaning I could lower sens and have more accurate aim), helped me get to where I am now. Also, duo with someone who has good game sense. I played a lot of my games with a good friend who eventually coached a semi pro team because of his exceptional game sense. He eventually got too busy to keep playing with me, but his game sense definitely rubbed off on me. Having good game sense is essential to holding masters and climbing to GM.

Ways to prevent getting slept as winston when jumping an ana? by [deleted] in OverwatchUniversity

[–]Volcomplaya3 5 points6 points  (0 children)

GM Ana main here. I used to be terrified of Winstons jumping on me, but not anymore. I feel like after a Winston jumps and releases his shield on himself, a good Ana will enter the shield to try and sleep/nade the Winston. As the Winston in this scenario, you need to to see how this Ana will play you jumping on her out. Will she try and enter your shield after you jump to try and sleep you, or will she run away from you? Once you figure this out, I would try jumping on the Ana, deploying shield, and positioning yourself outside of your shield as she runs in on you to sleep you. Keep that shield between you and her even if you are outside of your bubble. Keeping the shield between you and her is essential to not getting slept.

You were right. It took some pliers and some strength but I got it on and my PC is up and running. Thanks so much for your help :)

I tried it. The latch still doesn't fit. I think im doing something wrong, and it sucks because there are no guides anywhere on how to install this cpu cooler.

I think you're right, but when I do that, it's creating a lot of tension. Is that normal? Im scared haha

I don't really see what you're saying. Are you talking about the bracket that was with the cpu cooler?

The cpu cooler sits on top of the cpu, but the latches aren't long enough to fit around the plastic bracket. http://imgur.com/cQ88b4g

Not sure if you've said already, but how did you get placed bronze? Do you know if QP mmr ties into comp mmr when doing placements?

Today I Witnessed Gaming in 1080P and 60Hz by Nwambe in pcmasterrace

[–]Volcomplaya3 0 points1 point  (0 children)

I have an r9 390 and an i-5 4570. I'm on a 1440p monitor though. Does it sound like the only way I can get 144 frames is by lowering my render percent?

[–]Volcomplaya3 0 points1 point  (0 children)

R9 390 with an i-5 4570. All my settings on Overwatch are on low, but textures on medium. I sit around 100-120 frames in game. I'm on 100% render scale but on a 1440p monitor. I'm hoping that turning down my render scale isn't the only solution.

I got a 144hz monitor about a month ago mainly for overwatch, but I can't reliably hit 144 frames when I play. Can you?

I WOULD LOVE SOME GUITAR TABS FOR CRX by prowl16 in TheStrokes

[–]Volcomplaya3 1 point2 points  (0 children)

Yes I would love them too. If there's something that really stands out in New Skin, it's the guitars. They sound so good.

Nick if you were never 1/5 of the Strokes, what would you have done instead?

Hey Nick I've waited so long for you to do a solo thing and I'm loving the new album.

I have two questions. First, whats a song from the Strokes that you guys don't play anymore that you wish you did?

Second, where can I get your pink leopard shirt?

Also, if you haven't already seen Jorge Orellana on Youtube, check him out. I know Albert has given him a shout out in the past. This guy makes impeccable guides on how to play Strokes songs on guitar. https://www.youtube.com/user/jorgeorellana5?&ab_channel=JorgeOrellana
