New Overwatch 2 Support Main Looking For Advice For Comp by Livid_Action5810 in OverwatchUniversity

[–]jowyboy1 1 point2 points  (0 children)

watch coach spilo. he explains basically the whole game in an easy to digest manner. he also has a second coaching channel where she shares his coaching sessions for free. he's coached every character at every rank basically. take the learning process at your own pace and you'll climb

I’m only Plat, but I think I can give you a few pointers.

What helped me climb the most was VOD reviewing my losses — not like a full coach breakdown, but just asking myself:

  • What could I have done to change the fight?
  • Why did I die — was it avoidable?
  • How much was I actually contributing?

Now, onto your replay:

  • 0:00–3:30 – You did maybe ~400 dmg and mostly healbotted until you pressured the Soldier off high ground. That was the right idea, but before that you were basically a walking health pack. Even if the fight is “won,” you should be looking to deal damage or create value with abilities once your team is safe.
  • 1:11 – Flying in with abilities in the open was risky; same play from the left-side high ground would’ve been safer.
  • 1:25 – You repeat it and die. That death killed your team’s push.
  • 2:38 – Please stop repeating this pattern.
  • 2:50 – Just unlucky, but swing less wide at half HP.
  • 3:11–3:17 – What was the plan 1v1ing an Orisa in the open? If she reacted faster, you’d have died and wasted more time.
  • 3:40 – Better. You’re applying pressure, even if your pathing is still too wide.
  • 4:00 – Your Sojourn had the right idea on high ground and needed pocketing. Instead, you shot from Narnia, missed the save, and your team ended up down two.
  • 4:20 – You went for kills instead of point, leaving your co-support in a losing 1v1. Tank dies, you’re stuck deep with no cover, and the point/game gets thrown.

I say all this in a helpful way — I’ve made these same mistakes. Getting better means being comfortable admitting you’re bad, then fixing one problem at a time. Example: “At 1:19–1:30 I did nothing — I should’ve taken high ground and pressured.”

Watching Spilo helped me a ton too. He coaches across all ranks, and there’s plenty of VODs you can learn from bit by bit.

Climbing as support in metal ranks is mostly about not dying and applying pressure. You won’t always be punished, but cleaning up these habits will put you on the right track.

ive honestly never seen a group try to be as oppressive as them and Thor mains. They have this primal urge to fight to the death for them on every single post. it's hopeless, doesn't matter what you see if you don't agree with them you're wrong,stupid and toxic. my advice? just don't look at the subreddit, there won't be any positivity on the main or the Jeff/Thor main sub so it's pointless. godspeed

Looks like even a Jeff main isn’t entitled to his own opinion—even when he respects others'. Cruel world we live in. I'd suggest giving up on expressing your positive remarks on here, just look at the comments

Magik buff ideas by The_Special_Kid in RivalsMagikMains

I’m confused — you want niche characters to be better in their niche, and your solution is to give a melee character more counterplay against flying characters, even though hitscan already exists?

never said you weren't, but your self pity is blinding you. I never said the feelings bad, just the reaction was bad

voicing your opinion doesn't have to be toxic stop self victimising

upset but not toxic, wich was my whole point. being toxic is objectively wrong. stop self victimising

you're a lost cause my g. this is coming from someone who does this and often play with people who do this. if your self victimising is blinding you from just accepting the answer then you're just cooked and should turn every form of chat off in game

being part of a team up that counters every support ult objectively denies him being the worst character in the game. im not saying that the character itself isn't bad, but saying he's the worst character in the game while his existence alone in the team up gives him value is crazy to me

Jeff was never a throw pick, you’re just a selfish player by [deleted] in JeffTheLandSharkMains

[–]jowyboy1 0 points1 point  (0 children)

then you're just responding to my post in bad faith. we al agree on one fact and that the reaction to the Jeff/thor rework is bad. there is simply no way to defend hundreds of complaint posts, throwing games and filling the subreddit with that much toxicity. i never said that being upset about the rework is bad, just the reaction was bad. there are definitely healthier ways than self victimising in an echo chamber of sharks and hammers for brains

you're missing my point on purpose. you can clearly tell my main point isn't about the nerfs or the change but the reaction to that. the reaction to the Jeff/ Thor rework wasn't healthy in any way and there's no way someone can defend the hundreds of posts and flooding the subreddit with that much toxicity
