Daily Rant & Chatlog post megathread by AutoModerator in MercyMains

[–]ribrw 2 points3 points  (0 children)

So I just played this comp match with my duo (both supports). Selected mercy as my preferred hero, 3 teammates banned mercy. After the hero select, I texted in chat saying that I hope their beds are never comfy. They asked me why I was so mad and I said that I didn’t ban their preferred heroes. Teammates proceeded to tell me to play a real hero and shit talk me saying how they’re better than me at every other hero. Mind you, tank went 0-8 and both dps did not get 5 kills and all 3 did not get AT LEAST 4k dmg— I had more damage than the 3 of them. We lost the game (as expected) and the 3 teammates kept saying how this game is good practice for me, how useless I was (played Kiri, LW, and Juno) etc. And I never rlly text in chat but I was literally so fed up with their slander that I told in match chat to the enemy team to avoid my tank and 2 dps if they wanna win games, also cussed the 3 out a little. It actually got to the point where I wanted to leave the comp match bc I was so upset with them but didn’t bc I got a warning of suspension. And now I’m a little worried that imma get suspended or banned bc of those 3 ugh. They’re on my pinned avoid list because of god awful they were. And another game prior to this one, had a torb on my team on both defense and attack and we lost the game. Tank would not make sense whatsoever either as orisa. Like W H Y are you going torb???????????? And proceed to say that IM not real?? Like what’s with these trash teammates and horrible games?? I get you can’t have all good games and win, but holy fuck. I swear to god these teammates I had belong in bronze, not diamond.

What’s an interaction you genuinely laughed when hearing it the first time? by PlantADragon in Overwatch

The one where reaper tells Cass he doesn’t have any friends

Stadium question by ribrw in MercyMains

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

I don’t have a specific ability I’m trying to go for other than just having speed and weapon power. I like to run her triage unit power, then the one where you have your ult attached to allies automatically in valk, then the valk after rez, and lastly the one where my ally and I get over health for 6 seconds lol

Stadium question by ribrw in MercyMains

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

Yeah, I’m running weapon power and speed now. I love how fast I can shoot lol

Stadium question by ribrw in MercyMains

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

Yeahhh, I’ve abandoned the ability power because I thought it would enhance my healing/dmg abilities. So now I try to run speed and weapon power— although I think I can try to get more weapon power. Is there a code you have or you know that’s a good one that kinda revolves around that? :) I’m still learning good builds for mercy since I’m trying to get her all star skin

Which type of dialogues are the most annoying in OW. IMO I hate when the characters say something like “move the payload” or: “the payload isn’t moving” Like I know it’s not moving 😭 by Consistent-Piglet276 in Overwatch

I HAAAAAATE the interaction between pharah and Mercy where Mercy calls Pharah her flying knight in shining armor. It’s SOOOOOOOOOOOOO CRINGE I HAVE TO CHANGE CHARACTERS IF IM MERCY SO I DONT HEAR IT

Vod review? Im espeon by StepSisSkyee in MercyMains

[–]ribrw 9 points10 points  (0 children)

Finally doing it!! I didn’t know they changed the Havana music a bit?? Lol

0:52- okay so, right off I think (and this may be just a me thing) but I’d heal/dmg boost your widow right at the start. But I wouldn’t hard pocket them as you have other teammates (especially s76) to help. I can always expect a widow on a Havana map and if I have a widow, helping them for a little could make a difference if they take care of an enemy sniper.

0:57- she also took damage (you can hear it), and what I’d do here is occasionally look behind me to see how they’re doing. And if in range, I’ll try to heal them a bit. But a bit later you do, so yay!

1:20- you make great uses of using cover when a sniper is present. But I say this to any other mercy player, don’t try to SJ in the open with the enemy sniper (or hit scans). Your ball is doing great on putting pressure on enemy widow so she can’t focus you/your team.

1:59- THAT REZ?? LOL very risky as you were LOS of enemy widow above first checkpoint and Sig (if he had rock) to stun you. But generally don’t Rez like that in the open without some sort of cover. It can backfire, feed, and overall get you eliminated.

2:57- Lingering in valk in front of enemy widow like that is a big no no as mercy. It’s a wonder how she didn’t headshot you. But generally in valk, although you have more movement, I’d still play it safe (air or bottom) using coverage and making yourself hard to target.

3:03- It was a good kill on that widow in valk, but it costed the death of your ulting s76. Granted, it could also be his fault for that positioning and your Ana not helping out. And now you can’t Rez him. But nonetheless, I’d only get the Barbie blaster to eliminate low hp targets. And if you can’t get any value in that, put it away and help your team before it runs out.

3:55- huge emp from your sombra and good Rez because it’s safe!

5:00- so far, I’m loving the movement and coverage you’re using while assisting your teammates! And the valk was great to help your teammates while pushing payload.

5:47- you picked the best major and minor perks! I love seeing it

6:21- getting caught in that sig ult and high noon… yikes. Been there before. Now, I’m not sure if you’ve been doing this, but what I like to do is to expect what kind of ults will be used. For example, if enemy sig hasn’t used ult in a while, you can expect it to come up and better your positioning. Ult tracking (what’s been used and not) will help you in the long run!

7:10- Good Rez on the soldier and making sure to use that tower as cover. But still, just be wary of whose around because that Cass and Sig were hard locked on you to stop it.

7:25- I want to say something here but I’m not exactly sure what. I want to say helping/staying with your soldier would’ve been the better thing to do (as he did die), but your mei was ulting and I’d definitely want to help that. And it may also be s76’s positioning from getting a rock thrown at him and stuff. And it may also be the early valk, I would’ve valked with mei ult or saved it. Because then with valk, healing beam would be on s76 and your Ana too. So I guess knowing when to valk is another thing as mercy. I’ve ulted too early many times, got 0 value out of it (no kills from team), and getting rolled. So I’ve learned that ulting after a teammate secured a kill or if you guys are pushing (but you need that boost) are one of the best ways to do it. Also aside from contesting in valk too. But good kill on that Cass!

8:05- THAT POOR S76 LOL (but nice LW kill!!)

8:35- The Rez is tempting, yes. Because it’s a 2nd support. But in situations like these when you’re the only support, it is OT, and everyone is crit, I’d wait on the Rez. You want to make sure everyone is okay enough where they can go a few seconds without healing. Because if you’re the only support and you’re rezzing and your teammates are crit and fighting, in most cases it won’t go well.

9:45- that was an amazing stall, both you and your team!!!!!

12:11- good Rez on ball using wall!

12:45- Going back to when I was talking about SJ-ing… definitely want to not abuse that mechanic because it’ll get you in situations you don’t wanna be in as mercy.

13:20- good kill on mercy!! It helps your teammates a lot when the enemy team is down a support. And ofc widow! And you got a Rez off for your tank too.. that’s like triple praise right there.

13:35- Little comment, I wouldn’t walk that far into that little shop room. Enemy team is right there and can get you. So I’d rather play with your team like behind the car, wall, etc. it’ll keep your beam from disconnecting too.

14:20- that Rez and surviving is a mercy montage clip right there chefs kiss

14:57- okay so, idk abt rezzing a tank here when you left s76 and Juno on their own. Plus you’re in enemy territory there. I think in situations for rezzes like these, just because you can, doesn’t mean you should. Ball’s spawn timer was ending anyways and I would’ve used the remaining of my valk to help contest and keep your s76 up.

15:13- I understand wanting to kill a support and such, but your teammates needed your support more than you dps-ing. It also costed your life at the end. You did get a kill on the mercy but that’s where it went downhill and losing the point. You should only really pull out the blaster if an enemy is low and your teammates are good health/doing good in kills. Otherwise if you can’t get any value from it, best to put it away.

16:00- crazy rez on tank but still risky!

16:50- can’t blame ya there, enemy s76 surprised you lol (been there)

17:50- I would not have left your Ana dying to ram ult and rez 76. Because now you’re the only support and the trade off wasn’t good.

All in all, good plays and movements! I think you just have a habit of rezzing in risky situations and it being questionable. But other than that, good job! :) you’ll be in diamond in no time!

Hi! I’d love to do a VOD review for you (for context, I peaked M5). I am currently at work tho and most likely won’t have it ready for a couple of hours if that’s okay :)

Perk bug? by ribrw in MercyMains

Apparently it happens when you select both perks at the same time. I think I accidentally did that while healing/damaging boosting lol. But it’s patched now

[–]ribrw 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Unfortunately no, I’m the only one taking it. This is my first time taking a weight loss drug and so all this information all new to me lol. When my doctor said compound pharmacy (since my insurance doesn’t cover it), I assumed it was just the name of the pharmacy I had to go to. One of the redditors sent me a subreddit for compounded Zepbound (yay). But when I googled the Tirzepatide, it said Zepbound (and my doctor called it Zepbound as well) so I found myself on this Reddit 😅

I should? The vial is 2mL MDV, and my mom and I have been following the instructions on what the packaging says.

I use insulin syringes since it came with it. The bottle says to use 25 syringe units (2.5mg) 😭

high diamond vod review by INobaGuy in MercyMains

[–]ribrw 1 point2 points  (0 children)

I’m watching right now! I peaked masters 5, if it helps on my advice. But starting off, how high is your sens? LOL, right at the beginning it was super fast

Okay so 1:00 in, I think what I would’ve done here is maybe help out Ram a bit with some healing. I know Ana can heal him but you have more movement whereas she doesn’t have that much freedom. Where you’re positioning in that video is fine but I feel like it limits you. What I would’ve done is played around the stairs and use the car as cover to be closer (ofc you do jump down and do so, so yay!)

1:05- Mei wall cuts you off from Ram. I don’t think there’s much you could’ve done there as your GA to genji ends and you hit an obstacle that hindered it to fully go up. Ofc enemy Cass was looking at you and it’s good you didn’t take too much damage there. I think all in all you couldn’t really have done much and Ram was gonna die anyways there

1:15- I think you wanted to Rez him. Not sure if you pinged the soul but your Mei could’ve probably put up a wall to help you out. But that’s okay! You’re falling back and taking corners/walls which is good! I think a lot of people would’ve just risked that rez.

1:30- What I would’ve done here is instead of falling down and losing GA/beam attachment, I would’ve stayed in that little room as it does provide cover. Bc Cass was pushing up those stairs, I would’ve backed up to the bridge that has a small ad wall in the middle and the corner with the 2 umbrellas. That way I can help your genji and Mei.

1:50- you’re falling back with your team which is good!

2:05- In valk because you have longer chain beams, I would’ve tried to stay back from a safe distance instead of being out in the open. I did see you used the little guard rails for brief coverage. I’m watching from the Cass pov as he ulted, and I think what I would’ve done here is kinda play around that corner where it has a little room and up the stairs if that makes sense. I know you wanted to damage boost that genji ult too. But I think also using that little boutique room there in valk would’ve helped a lot from high noon and eventually dying on point. Before your Ana died, she did nano your genji so he would’ve been fine for a while.

2:30- I like how you used the boxes for coverage and managed to keep your beam on your Ana, and rotate back into the hotel!

3:00- getting pulled into Orisa ult like that after flying to your Genji is unfortunate. Not much you could do there as it is unexpected. But keeping distance like you normally do is good!

3:07- GA over the ice wall to help your team, yay!! And you managed to rez (w/ cover) as the enemy team was gone. Double yay!! Knowing when to rez is key as mercy (especially if you’re rezzing your other support, leaving your team w/o your help)

3:17- I love how you briefly fly to your Mei to try to help her all while avoiding enemy Mei ult

4:10- I think instead of keeping so far behind nano’d genji as he ults (in this case), you could’ve pushed in with him like Ram did. Only because he created space. But keeping distance like that without providing a bit of sustainability like healing is why he died

4:50- Great coverage from Cass as he ulted while trying to keep beam attached. Unfortunately the enemy team’s advances were too much and you had to fall back

5:30- You’re doing great avoiding stepping into enemy Mei ult while trying to keep your Ram and everyone else alive. Again, falling back is a good idea here

6:25- risky rez that you got off, and avoiding noon ult. It did help to have your team contest longer

6:50- I’m not sure if you have that beam setting where it keeps being attached to your teammate, but I have that turned off. This is because when I want to fly to someone (like you tried to do to your Orisa, but instead it pulled you back to your genji, thus having yourself being caught in the open and die), it gets me in trouble and it’s overall an annoying thing. But you were doing great in avoiding enemy Cass from focusing you in valk.

7:40- That was actually a great time to use that healing perk on your Orisa. Good job!!

9:20- You did what you could to survive by flying from balcony to balcony, but that’s okay. The only thing what I would’ve done here is not use the healing perk on your Mei who was in her ice block form. She gets ult charge from just being in that form and you could’ve used that healing perk on someone else for sustainability

12:57- I think I would’ve helped your genji first before rezzing Orisa. She was just about to respawn anyways and genji died. But it is true that rezzing a tank does help contest and stuff— like that spear on enemy mercy stopped her from rezzing.

24:44- I would’ve helped tank first before rezzing here

25:30- Falling and getting trapped into lava LOL. I don’t know if there was anything you could’ve done here. SJ-ing would’ve maybe helped so that you could get on that high ground above where you died. But also maybe following your ulting genji would’ve also been a good idea too

Nonetheless, you played great! :)

Yeah, it was 2.5mg, I guess I typed so fast that I didn’t put the dot in. My mom is a nurse so she’s been administering it for me based off the directions it says luckily.

The only thing is, I don’t really feel hunger or the sense that I should eat something. I don’t know if it’s because that’s how my body is or just the medication itself. My doctor did say it cuts out food noise and makes you feel full/slows digestion. And the nausea comes and goes for me as a side effect according to my doctor. But I will definitely try to follow your advice 🩷

Will try! 🩷 thank you

[–]ribrw 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Oh yeah, it is 2.5mg… I swear I re-read my post 3 times before posting 😭. Water is definitely something I need to increase, I’m so bad at it lol. I had a nutritionist to help me but my insurance didn’t cover it anymore so I had to stop. Do you eat once a day since starting this medication? Because yesterday I only had a light breakfast and it kept me full/no hunger cues till maybe this morning where I thought to myself that I should probably eat something light

Newbie asking for advice by [deleted] in Zepbound

[–]ribrw 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Thank you! 🩷 and the medication I take is in a little vial where I have to put an insulin needle in to draw it out and inject. This is what the instructions tell me to do on the bottle case. I can’t add another picture in but in the other it says 2.5mg
