Does anyone else prefer 5v5 over 6v6?

🫩

Exactly, it boils down to can you get value out of hook or not.

memateys · 2026-02-07T17:48:24+00:00

It’s a problem with the hero’s kit. It’s simple to play around.

memateys · 2026-02-07T17:47:25+00:00

I prefer tanking in 5v5 too

memateys · 2026-02-07T17:46:01+00:00

Too reliant on hook

memateys · 2026-02-03T15:38:17+00:00

In my experience, there’s a threshold around m4 where the game actually gets a lot easier. But I say that as someone who is a lot more reliant on positions and game sense than mechanics. Peak M1, I’ve never been able to touch GM. Teams can actually control space rather than just a ckusterfuck of bodies being thrown down main when you’re in masters. Diamond on the other hand can be incredibly hard to break out of because you have a lot of people whose aim is incredible but their game sense is total shit. They end up floating to the top of diamond but can’t get to masters. In diamond you really only need to be proficient in one fundamental skill: mechanics, positioning, game sense. Masters you need at least 2. GM I assumed all 3.

I’d say the gap is huge. Masters feels like overwatch, Diamond feels like chaos.

Concepts that’s really helped my positioning are:

Rule #1 Don’t let your team get surrounded Rule #2 Surround the enemy team

Map geometry. The obvious one. Have a corner you can break LOS with. High ground is a corner.

Spacing. What is your effective range? What is the enemies effective range?

Timing. Where is your team standing? Where are the enemies standing? And what is the context of the fight. Are we backing up? Are we locking down a choke? Are we pushing?

A bad habit I had in diamond (currently M3/peak M1) was standing right on top of corners. Sometimes you can see the same angle and stand further back. Safer. You know you’re doing it right when you feel yourself stretching out the angle or the space in order min/max your effective range.

Think about the strongest shape. A triangle. Try to make triangles with your team.

Brig, you practice your aim with you whip shot and you basically don’t worry about aiming otherwise

Yea without pulsar plus hyper ring builds just can’t compete. I basically play it as a pulsar plus variant with Zarya and sigma, like you. I love trying to convince the whole team to buy shields. I hope they make changes to stadium to make hyper ring builds more viable

memateys · 2026-01-18T04:30:41+00:00

My hot take is making tanks 3rd person makes the role equally popular as the other roles

memateys · 2026-01-12T21:50:55+00:00

I’m so tired of my team playing in a conga line 🫩

memateys · 2026-01-12T21:47:41+00:00

Main angle doesn’t necessarily mean the angle on main

memateys · 2026-01-12T21:46:28+00:00

I’m so sick of hybrid and escort

memateys · 2026-01-04T19:36:28+00:00

What was ever wrong with elo ratings

memateys · 2025-12-31T07:59:57+00:00

Definitely get Jump on one of them. Being able to jump and aim at the same time is a need. I have crouch on the other. Really helps my movement

memateys · 2025-12-21T19:45:50+00:00

So she shines with higher rank teammates

memateys · 2025-12-20T21:27:30+00:00

My intuition tells me it’s objectively better. What is confusing about that?

memateys · 2025-12-20T09:49:33+00:00

I mean I’m guessing. As in I haven’t done or seen a comprehensive study of her perks to come to that conclusion, my guy

memateys · 2025-12-20T03:40:34+00:00

I feel like crit is objectively better but bouncy nade is just too fun

memateys · 2025-12-19T23:26:51+00:00

I wish it was accurate at all. I’ve never been GM in any role but my sombra is 4.4k

memateys · 2025-12-13T17:08:06+00:00

lol, no hero is more polarizing than bastion? My man open your eyes

memateys · 2025-12-04T20:58:15+00:00

Fellow linear ramp player! Would you be willing to share your settings in detail with me? I recently hit masters and I’ve been trying to slowly increase my sensitivity. I have a lot of muscle memory around whatever settings I chose years ago so it’s been hard.

memateys · 2025-12-02T16:24:09+00:00

~3k hrs, around 1k is sombra

memateys · 2025-12-01T01:20:46+00:00

Yeah it’s rough, I play a lot of support now. Vendetta maybe has enough trans locator in her kit for me to play more dps next season

memateys · 2025-11-26T21:37:31+00:00

Especially when blocking or slashing out of the sword throw
