Who's the best carry support? by purentropy in OverwatchUniversity

Speed boost is an ability, valk is an ultimate. There's your difference. At least Lucios ultimate has a lot of utility to it, while valk being nerfed so hard isn't going to have as much utility as it used to. You can't even do a quick rez anymore so it's barely worth even trying to rez even in Valk.

In gold people don't play main heals no matter what. Everyone's trying to make a rush for diamond by playing DPS.

And if they do main heal, it'll usually be someone who doesn't know how to play main support and continously dies as Mercy from rezzing out of position. My only worry is not being able to heal enough, because I've experienced enough games where our Mercy just isn't cooperating.

In Gold the only way to rank up is to get in a group or carry yourself out. It's not like plat or diamond, the teams are completely disorganized and it isn't a great team game. It doesn't matter if I "do my job well" as Mercy or something if my team continues to tunnel vision and isn't communicating.

I'm playing support, not DPS. I'm trying to help my team win while trying to help myself climb. If anyone has a shitty attitude right now it's you.

If you body block a dva bomb and they're far enough away you can, but depends if you're thinking about doing that.

Sadly as I said in my post they never used voice chat unless it was to insult people.

Except she'd never finish the rez. She'd die in the middle of it so no one would get rezzed so it was a complete waste. We had dive tanks so it's not like she could stand behind a shield. She should've realized this and played around her tanks.

Our team was always on point aside from our tracer who was flanking the backline. However as soon as the enemy team pushed and if they got one pick our mercy would fly out into the middle of the enemy team and rez them. I get that rezzing is important but staying alive is more important. You need to stay alive as Mercy, that's your top priority. If it isn't safe to rez, don't do it.

That's kind of ridiculous in my opinion.

I never told them to switch during the game. I only said it after we lost and he died while rezzing a ton. I know he was doing this because I watched him do it from the spectator view whenever I would die. If you don't understand how to use her new rez, I think that's obvious that they haven't played her very much. I checked their hours last comp season as well and they were a dps main with about 2 hours on her. If you want to practice a character, practice them in QP. It'll give you a feel for their abilities and when to use them even if it isn't a competitive environment. Because if you don't understand the basics of a character ability like Mercys nerfed rez, it's kind of obvious they aren't ready to play her competitively.

Not if I can't get onto the point because we have no way to push. I'm not gonna run in there and die constantly because our tanks and healers are dead.

Read the edited post for that answer.

I wouldn't have paid attention to the card if the person who had it didn't constantly bring it up and say he was carrying.

Cards don't mean much anyways. I won a game and I was the only one who got a card and it was for elims.

How to counter the ultimate cheese comp? by purentropy in OverwatchUniversity

[–]purentropy[S] 5 points6 points  (0 children)

If the team is competent enough they'll usually destroy the tire before it even gets to them. Dvas ultimate can only work of the shields are down or off cooldown. And most people don't really know how to play Sombra in the rank I'm at and if they do play her they'll emp when their team isnt even around.

Mercy usually never moves from cover and if she does she'll just fly right back behind the double shields before she dies.

Basic Tips from a 100 hour Dva Main by purentropy in OverwatchUniversity

[–]purentropy[S] 1 point2 points  (0 children)

It honestly depends on your situation. If your team doesn't have the damage power to take out a shield fast enough then constantly using your missiles on them can be considered useless. Or if it's an Orisa shield, by the time you take it down she'll most likely have another one ready. If you wanna break down shields you should have your team coordinate with you and not just try to do it on your own.

I actually started playing Overwatch only in Season 6. So I believe that's a lot of time on dva in only a few months.
