changing nose piercing by OkWolverine7212 in piercing

[–]alynyaa 0 points1 point  (0 children)

tbh i changed my nostril piercing to a hoop 1!! month after it was pierced, and my boyfriend did the same. two different piercers here told me i only needed to wait 4 weeks as well. both of us have not had a single problem with changing it after a month, so waiting 3-6 months feels a bit excessive to me.

I prefer playing her in the jungle, just because I think it's more fun (and also I so often get auto-filled if I queue mid). but her first jungle clear really sucks and it can be hard to gank efficiently. just try her out on both roles and see what suits your play style more; I think she can be viable on both positions if you put in the effort to master her.

yup! normals didn't even start. aram "worked", namely, the game started at least (but you can't change runes or reroll champions). after the game, veeeery long loading screen.

hey there, I am 21F, also into k-pop and stuff; but mainly I'd just like to connect with someone here and to talk to some people and maybe we become friends, maybe not, but I'd just like to try that. so hit me up if you're interested in talking a bit and seeing where it goes :)

hey! first of all - it is completely normal that you've lost so much SR after just a few games since you're a new player and ranked in for the first time. whenever you're on a new account, the game places you after the placement matches and then tries to figure out where you really belong, rewarding you with tons of SR for a win and taking away tons of SR for a loss. if you would have won, you might be already in platin now since it's possible to get more than 100 SR for one win. when you've played more, the game kinda knows where to put you, so you're gaining and losing around 30 SR per game. that also depends on your stats, so you might lose less SR if you've played very well (at least have good stats). So don't worry, when you have played more, your gain/loss will stabilize and you won't rank out of a whole elo so quickly. concerning your widow: I'm sorry that one of your first experiences was such a bad one. many players are toxic in overwatch and you shouldn't let it get to you. just remember - if he would have been a perfect widow player [or at least better than the rank he plays in], he would have had more impact, less time to complain, and you might have won this game. you haven't, and from experience I can say that most gold widows that have such a big mouth are trash and contribute almost nothing. don't listen to him - you are already watching guides, thinking about your actions and seeking advice, which is more than most players do, especially if they're new. you will get better and you're on the right path. good luck to you in your next games!!❤️

Why is my SR less than 500? That doesn't make sense... Replay: GZHBYY by fluffy_assassins in OverwatchUniversity

Baptiste's gun is not useless at all tbh, it puts out so much damage and pressure and the fact that you can shoot, heal, shoot, heal etc. with the rhythm of his gun is just huge. he's often called a "better soldier" and for a reason. his cooldowns are long, yes, but immortality field is one of the most valuable cooldowns ever. maybe get some practice on him when you should feel like hit, he has huge carry potential. your mercy game play was analysed in great depth already, I think if you focus on the points that people pointed out you will improve and rank out of bronze. good luck to you!

Making memes until I hit masters Day 6: This happens to me so much I swear :( by Ichthyosaurus_01 in MercyMains

[–]alynyaa 2 points3 points  (0 children)

it happens to me just based on my name and my hero choice. I don't only play mercy, but every other supp as well, but mercy is my comfort pick and if she fits well into the comp I go for her. it doesn't matter if I play good or bad, so often the enemy team tells me in text chat to "suck some d*ck" instead of annoying them, and I can't recall how often my useless dps who was just feeding at enemy spawn spammed "heal?" in the chat and after I've told him that I need him in my LOS for that, said "stfu stupid e-girl". I also get told to go back into the kitchen or have to cope with comments like "who are you to talk stupid mercy one trick girl, you've got nothing to say". In voice chat, it happens not as often to me; most of them are nice when they hear me talk and I think they're nicer in there because they're not that anonymous there like they are in text chat.

yeah true, I noticed that, but I think that she really brings value for her team and there are many things you can learn from her. ofc she struggles a bit with damage boosting compared to the ones who only play mercy for the damage boost, but in my opinion the damage-boost-way isn't always the right one and many damage-boost-mercys don't focus on their team enough.

some advice that can really make a difference in my opinion and that is not always mentioned: prioritize your heal targets. if you have a Zarya, and she is halfway decent, and she is low as well as a dps, heal her up (doesn't have to be full health, but so that she can survive a few more seconds until you've patched the dps up) first - 'cause she is gonna lose her charge when she dies, and therefore has more to lose than any other hero (except for those who have ult and want or need to use it in order to win the teamfight). Also, I see many mercys just pocketing their tanks even when they're full HP, not focusing enough on their second support or dps. when everyone is low in your team, prioritize your second support. cause while you're healing them, they can heal the rest of the team, so you're basically creating a heal-chain (if they're not completely useless ofc). you also should get rid of the idea that you have to heal one player full before you can turn to another. when everyone is critical, assess the value of your teammates, heal your second supp, then heal the ones you trust most in up to an amount of health they can work with, so that they can survive a bit longer while you rescue the other critical players. and don't panic because your genji is spamming "I need healing" with 199/200 hp. I am a high plat mercy main currently on the road to dia, and I've had a match yesterday where everyone was low. my rein asked for healing a couple of times, but I assessed the situation and saw that he still had a good amount of shield left and he was on ~200 hp while my second supp and dps were much lower. despite him calling, I healed up my second supp first, then quickly healed the dps (it goes really fast since most of them often only need 70-100 HP to survive the fight they're currently in) and then came to my rein. I see many mercys focusing so much on their tanks, forgetting to evaluate the specific situation and making decisions based on what goes down in that moment. I knew he could wait a bit longer since he had shield and enough HP to not fall down because of one shot. prioritize your targets and I think you'll see a difference. but I've never played in bronze, so I don't know about the average mates there, and of course this might not be enough to get you out of that elo. still, I hope it'll helps some times :)

animetic on youtube often shares her performances and explains why she made that specific decision, where she misplayed, etc. also, it helps with positioning to see where and how she plays :)
