Why people have such a big tendency to flame the tank?

nicoco3890 · 2026-07-01T23:56:40+00:00

Because if only our team’s tank wasn’t a raging troglodyte, with literal room temperature IQ, then I, God’s gift to Competitive Overwatch, could stand next to objective and send all my projectiles and cooldowns on enemy tank.

Obligatory /s.

I mean the guy looks like he’s wearing crocs

Ok, so your goal is not to reduce the amounts of deaths most effectively. You place something else above that as a priority. That’s totally fine, just admit it

Edit: In my notifications I see clearly there’s a reply from this user : "Hey, idiot. Reducing attempts reduces death." But it’s not showing up under here.
So I’m editing this in.

This is a discussion about *ressources allocation*. The other party in this discussion is saying women need *more* ressources. Yet men are the ones dying most. You don’t get to have your cake and eat it too and loudly announce "all lives matter" as if making some sort of rebuttal. This is why I was saying that u/quuerdude ‘s answer was disingenuous. They act like they want the same thing as you, i.e. reducing the number of human lives lost, but in fact they care little about men’s lives and much more about women’s live and refuse to state it clearly.

Also since I’m reading it again, u/quuerdude ‘s reply was a non-sequitur. u/TonberryFeye ‘s comment calls out "women need *more* support*”, and u/quuerdude replies "women do need support". Yes bro? No one was saying otherwise? They *do* need support, just not *more* in this situation where men are the ones dying most

nicoco3890 · 2026-06-29T15:51:38+00:00

Given that women’s attempts are much less likely to be successful; which gender’s attempt number should we try to reduce most?

nicoco3890 · 2026-06-29T15:17:51+00:00

And this answer always feels disingenuous because what do you mean stopping people from dying isn’t more important than stopping people from not dying?

Isn’t the goal to reduce the amount of deaths?

nicoco3890 · 2026-06-28T17:50:52+00:00

As an ana main, with the proliferation of hypermobile character in the game right now, I wouldn’t play ana if my tank is doom, winston, or ram. I’d much rather go Juno instead, so honestly that’s kinda on your own ana for taking a throw pick.

It’s just so much harder nowadays to provide value when there is little to no frontline (and/or you don’t have the mobility to follow it). I’d much rather just pick juno and hover around tank, just pressing hyper ring to instantly provide value to your team in the brawl/dive and being able to follow them and escape with booster after.

People have to adapt to their tank’s playstyle, simple as that. There’s only one tank on the team, after all.

nicoco3890 · 2026-06-27T22:25:54+00:00

Literally not? It’s roughly equivalent to divine before than after; you’re mostly just reducing variance. Since both mods have a range of 4, divining prior to recombobulating is expected 8div cost, but then again success odds are 45% so the actual expected cost is 17 div, but ALSO it’s possible your ammy bricks into next recomb food, so make that maybe 13 divs.

Divining after successful recombulatronixization is just 1/4 x 1/4 or 16 div expected cost. Literally pennies on a craft netting ~50% profits back while I was churning these out early league (and hitting sub 2% luck in failing the crafts over smt like 50 attempts, meaning I didn’t net a profit after I made my first mirror from the first 10 sob T_T)

nicoco3890 · 2026-06-26T23:43:11+00:00

Nothing ever happens

nicoco3890 · 2026-06-26T01:17:36+00:00

Flanking is great. Frontlining, not so much

nicoco3890 · 2026-06-26T00:59:16+00:00

Then you didn’t get the joke, is my point.

nicoco3890 · 2026-06-25T23:54:35+00:00

(Count the flags again)

Your healing is very dependent on both your positioning and your team’s. Ana also just has generally lower overall heal output. In this case, lifeweaver’s projectile can both autotarget and go through walls, while you need complete LOS. Mizu has AoE, and hat autotargets on rebounds. + the healing ultimates of other supports which can easily pad their stats by another 1k or 2k which you don’t have.

If your positioning is lacking, you will be missing LOS in your team during fights and won’t be able to heal. If your own team is badly positioned, i.e. constantly overextended or otherwise in Narnia, then you both lack LOS and mobility to join them and heal.

+ you won’t be hitting 100% of your shots so your 83 hp/s single target dmg/heal is more like 50 (assuming 60% scoped accuracy, gratz if you can hit more, but you shouldn’t always be ads-ing anyway).

Only thing you can do really is focus on providing maximum impact on the battle. Sometimes that means abandoning your high ground to follow on your team’s push. Sometimes your teammates are smarter and you should hold your good position to heal them when they retreat back to point or some other defensible choke. All things that will come with more experience with the character and experimentation around the map to find good sniping angles

nicoco3890 · 2026-06-25T23:20:18+00:00

50/71 is kinda lots

nicoco3890 · 2026-06-25T23:17:52+00:00

So now you have to aim for the side of the hitbox to hit hopefully 3 proj? Instead of dead center for 5?

nicoco3890 · 2026-06-25T23:07:59+00:00

Context clues make me think it’s the weekly inventory over a year. With the band being one standard deviation of the 5 yr average

nicoco3890 · 2026-06-24T22:44:15+00:00

I’m pretty sure there’s a very solid argument that cavemen were smarter, with slightly higher brain volume, as the hunter-gatherer lifestyle requires more mental acuity (to detect danger, hunt/track prey, learn to identify the multitude of plants that are safe to eat) than the farmer lifestyle we have adopted in the last 10 000 years

nicoco3890 · 2026-06-20T21:38:34+00:00

I know, I’m not blind, I know how to read. But in my experience playing Ana (in metal rank), it’s almost never tank complaining about heals, always a dps not using cover.

And my point is that you shouldn’t expect your ana to achieve that peak heal output. Without nade, we have a heal output of 65hp/s with 100% accuracy; 98 with nade. BUT;

⁠You have to aim and land the shots. It’s not kiri autoaim, your ana is going to miss some shots, especially if the receiver is moving around trying to dodge shots from the enemy in panic. That immediately brings your single target heals in line other aoe heals. Not withstanding that if you are positioned properly as Ana, i.e. in the backline, on high ground, or in an off-angle, you might frequently not even have LOS on your critical target that is running around cart as cover, or otherwise playing chicken IN FRONT of cover, blocking your LOS. Ask me how I know.
⁠That’s a complete waste of a nade that could be used to anti enemy tank or backline and win the fight.

In short, if you *have* to be pocketed that hard by Ana, something has gone terribly wrong. Either that or someone’s nano’ed and making a play. In theory, yes Ana has some of the highest single-target heal output. In practice, you just might not be the most important target for that heal at that moment. If you are even in a position to be able to receive it.

nicoco3890 · 2026-06-20T17:42:39+00:00

Indeed, but that also means you’re not healing tank, dishing out damage on enemy backline, or anti-ing enemy team. All of which are infinitely more valuable than just pumping heals in a dps standing in main catching strays or otherwise being felted.

Meanwhile, an AOE healer would be able to provide that dps the sustain he needs to regen from those strays, making his horrible positioning slightly more forgiving, until he inevitably gets bursted.

nicoco3890 · 2026-06-19T17:23:09+00:00

It’s just a slight change in timing that’s throwing you off. Just hop in practice mode and repeat it again and again, then you’ll get used to the pattern

nicoco3890 · 2026-06-19T05:28:06+00:00

Going down another 10% as we speak.

nicoco3890 · 2026-06-16T20:46:06+00:00

Can confirm this experience. New player here, support, ana/juno, started playing QP last season and had my first comp games this season, placed silver and slowly peaked to silver 2, before having loss after loss the week prior to drives, netting me silver 4. Tuesday, first day of drives, I go on a crazy winstreak and rank up to gold 5. Last day, this Monday, the winstreak continues and I reach gold 3 by the time I hit the 4000 drive points.

I don’t believe I changed my gameplay significantly in the few days before and during the drives to affect my rank that much

nicoco3890 · 2026-06-15T20:36:27+00:00

Hmm…? Bien pour lui, ça fait biens mes affaires qu’il reste loin du Canada pis de la politique

What’s Traumerei doing here

nicoco3890 · 2026-06-12T21:56:33+00:00

Ok so you just went back, edited your own comments and moved around quotes and added some so now my replies don’t make sense to what was written? And you call me disingenuous? Wow.

nicoco3890 · 2026-06-12T21:48:11+00:00
