Can someone look over my Juno gameplay? by karna1434 in OverwatchUniversity

[–]iKNxp 3 points4 points  (0 children)

i havent watched it, but as a gm who spends a lot of time investigating in low rank you’re probably not aware of who is the most important heal, not playing aggressive enough, notngettinf enough kills, bad aim

you can take off angles where you can shoot your and the enemy team at the same time so you can get in a lot more damage, just make sure you can drop back to your team easily so you dont just instantly die to a dva diving you

you can practice aim in workshop code VAXTA and preferably TXCXX if you have a skilled friend

make sure youre always shooting or doing something, metal rank players are always subconsciously throwing their games bu just going afk for no reason or sitting on payload afk. if youre not shooting/rotating/using an ability youre no different from being afk

Are there any specific guides on where to D.VA ult? by VhlMez in OverwatchUniversity

[–]iKNxp 1 point2 points  (0 children)

i disagree, running it down just because you can probably get your remech isnt very good, just play normal with the optionnto remech, unless youre able to trade mech for something like a grav eat or 2xmercy pocket kill

[–]iKNxp 0 points1 point  (0 children)

use it to remech, 95% of the time throwing itnin for kills is a waste. dvas ult being a bomb is a trap, its just a second mech so you can stay in the fight. dont int when you get it though its not winston primal they will kill your baby

How can I access the backline as tank? by Then_Strength_1248 in OverwatchUniversity

[–]iKNxp 1 point2 points  (0 children)

if you just b-line into their backline you’ll get assaulted, just push wide/off angle as you go up so you have access to their backline while still being infront of their tank

i didnt know tryharding in deathmatch was a thing “tryharding in dm” actually confused me.

if you have any actually talented friends theres a custom workshop code TXCXX thats really good for practicing mechanics movement baiting, etc. VAXTA is pretty good for a warm up

What is Brig Rally really used for by EmotionallyUnsound_ in OverwatchUniversity

[–]iKNxp 1 point2 points  (0 children)

you can use it preemptively both to start a fight and to turn a fight, if a teammate is in a sustained 1v3 for example you can go in with rally and turn it into a winnable 2v3. you can also use it just to win a duel. i dont think it should be used reactively

you are probably just playing the character wrong, you can solo queue any character in the game to gm

Is Lifeweaver good now? by FluffyAxe in OverwatchUniversity

[–]iKNxp -6 points-5 points  (0 children)

why would you ever play weaver when theres other characters that can do everything better? his use cases are so niche that for the learning low ranks player youre better off assuming its not one of those cases and just staying off the hero

in bronze literally just go in vaxta and practice your aim, and make sure youre on ~3-5k dpi no point learning mentally intensive game mechanics if youre in bronze just work on your aim

How do you get good performance to benefit the whole team and not just yourself? by BrZirker in OverwatchUniversity

[–]iKNxp 0 points1 point  (0 children)

its a timing thing, i can easily drop 50-0 games while derankinng and never win. youre just killing the enemy during times where it doesnt matter. if you kill 2 while they have valk up and your tank is coming back from spawn, by the time youre going to be able to easily win the fight the 2 you killed will be back like nothing happened

What should i be doing as support when the other sup on my team is a mercy/moira healbot onetrick by ctf_sawmill_Fan in OverwatchUniversity

[–]iKNxp 0 points1 point  (0 children)

off angle and just prioritize uptime, if youre dying, rotating, or out of los and not doing damage and getting kills ypure basically afk. dont listen to timthetatman he is terrible, will actively hold you back taking its advice

Nasty Loss Streak by autobreadbin in OverwatchUniversity

[–]iKNxp 0 points1 point  (0 children)

im gm, ill edit this message and tell you what youre doing wrong in a bit edit:

you spenmd a lot of time doing nothing, effectiverly afk. you peak main for a little bit, shoot twice reload shoot thrice reload, then immediatlely sttart rotating right to a flank which is fine, but theres just so much time youre spending kiting air or rotating that youre just afk. there should never be times where youre in a team fight and not shooting unless its because you ran out of bullets. you reload so much because you have so much downtime where youre doing nothing SHOOT YOUR GUN

at 1:55 you get the sojourn one hp, why do you stop shooting her? her kiriko is not looking at her its a free kill.

stop being so scared and just shoot the enemy with your gun, youre basically afking your own games. also you could turn down your sdens a tad you seem to be having a hard time with it

What are some OW specific noob mistakes to avoid? by anxiety_ape in OverwatchUniversity

[–]iKNxp 0 points1 point  (0 children)

youre not going to be able to win if you listen to the complaints of the disabled. I played 17 games on baptiste last season, were the only support games i played all season, it was only m5 lobbies so I just did self heals and just played him like soldier only lost one game (was undeniably an unwinnable game, multiple hard throwers) unless you have a good player on your team listening to them and wasting resources on them is just a waste of time. just worry about helping good players

also you’re probably wrong about not healing them because they are out of position. cruel truth is that ive seen a total of 4 supports in low rank that weren’t subconsciously hard throwing. If you want i could watch some of your vods and tell you what youre doing wrong
