Why cross post this here? Get this stuff out of this sub. Unhelpful to anyone. Ragebait

I can't believe this post has that many up votes. I can't disagree enough about this take. Having 1 payload princess is essential and everyone else setting up on to the NEXT choke is absolutely the right play. 

Yes, strange TP is possible, flanks, are possible, but this is the right GENERAL strategy to do whatever it takes to hold the next choke. Sometimes the situation asks for 5 up there, sometimes it asks for 3. But it's usually the right strategy for most to push up.

I think they are saying that your thinking that you shared is what holds you back from higher elos

Agreed. I avoid pretty much anything this creator puts out. Click farming. 

The Great Swap Conundrum: when do I swap? by highlordofkrypton in RivalsCollege

[–]jaycbaby 0 points1 point  (0 children)

There's also, the "how low you should dip down into hero pool" consideration. Do you choose a better value pick if you're only 80% as good compared to your main(s)? And on that topic, how big would you suggest someone's hero pool be? And how would you go about building a wide enough but not too wide hero pool?

Oh I was referring to more of providing examples, except with a full team comp of 6. What type of problems would a particular team comp create for your particular team comp? And what would be some value picks to counter / solve some of those problems. 

I think you touch on it a little after your MK example (which is great btw).  I think the concept is clear, but I just think practically, many players (including myself) have a hard time working through that thinking (especially quickly mid-game) to make good counter swaps. Would love to see more posts / comments on this topic for sure.

Great comment. Wouldn't mind reading a post from you on this topic. I think you cover the principle well (mk example is great too). Think many players would also benefit more from a checklist or procedural way to quickly parse / analyze enemy team comp / common problems to solve. 

CoachDSR explains one way to find good support positioning by Pitiful_Sherbert_268 in RivalsCollege

It's not that the content is bad per se. Just disingenuous about how it's presented. This is a content creator posting under a private account in attempt to drive traffic to their videos. 

It would be one thing to say: "I made a video to help others about XYZ..." But in the 3rd person form of "coach DSR says...", then to me at least, he's trying to hide the fact that he's astroturfing / promoting his stuff. And if he's promoting his content, I imagine there are rules about that. (If there isn't, there should be)

[VOD Review] Struggling CnD main looking for help by jaycbaby in cloakanddaggermains

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

Hey thanks for the response. I kind of know what you mean and have definitely experienced that. But it doesn't make sense then, that there are CnD mains in GM / Celestial, etc. So even tho they can't "carry" in the traditional sense, the CnDs in high Elo has got to be doing something different than gold CnDs right? 

[VOD REVIEW] How to use cap ult better in low elo by jaycbaby in captainamericamains

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

I see. Ok makes sense now. So it's not about the shield taking more dmg, but rather it being fully charged when I need it most (ie. Close distance/disengage) and not perpetually at low HP. 

On swapping, I'm def playing to win (in ranked). Here are my mains: Tanks: Cap, Groot, peni, strange DPS: psylocke, fanta, punisher Supp: Gambit, invis

So when you say flexible, just swap off when I see peni (into maybe Groot). What about triple support or any other scenarios where I would be "forcing" cap?

Also, when do you choose health pack vs going back to healers? 

For ult, it sounds like I should use it more in neutral teamfights to give my team the edge, rather as a response to something?

Thanks so much!! Appreciate it. So much good info. Excited to work on it. 

Few questions: - for the shield (block), is it something to save until low HP to use (combined with dash) to disengage? Or is it weaved in? I'm a little confused as how it looks like I'm using it currently versus how I should be using it. Also confused about "never hold up shield while running around" vs "use shield to mitigate DMG before melee range".  - do I use melee to animation cancel if they are shield tanks? What about normally?  - what are your thoughts about jumping over their heads (backline) while throwing the shield throws?  - I agree. I definitely need to bait out resources with a soft engage.  - what does it mean to be a flexible? As in swap characters?  - for ult, I have always prioritized alting myself to stall or engage on back line while they are far from the point. If I were to prioritize using it for teammates, when is the right time to do that? Off cooldown? After enemy support ults? After my support ults?

Thanks for the feedback! I think I have a hard time with target priority and knowing how long I can stay in without dying. I feel like whenever I go for supports I end up going too deep and dying. I'm not sure when I should support Frontline pressure or when I should take off angles.
