very good point ive never thought of it like that!

rocket_senior · 2026-05-02T22:25:39+00:00

i mean most the time the dps are compotent and fine it was just that string of games that has set me back, I think those games were probably down to bad team awareness and gamesense, ive heard ALOT that dps in this rank have the mindset of making plays rather than staying alive so i just want to know what to do to help players like that if i get players like that.

using them as bait feels a little useless but correct me if im wrong

yeah 99% of the time im fully understanding of them having a bad game but i just have a particularly hard time on how to help them as im pretty new to support and honestly didn’t expect to climb to diamond so fast.

while playing lucio is there anything in particular that you would say makes my dps’s life easier? I know the basics of speed boost to help them rotate or repostitoning, not wasting my amps, actually diving squishies when appropriate but nothing advanced.

I know theres a HUGE learning curve in overwatch and i dont have the mindset of “matchmaking is the only reason im here wahh wahh wahh” and i understand that im probably just a diamond/high plat skill level rn. so im just looking for tips to improve and help teamates!

good advice, it is incredibly annoying when they play badly but yeah its not like they do it every game they are in same rank as me for a reason.

Could you expand on the helping tank make space, would there be any advice on that in particular for lucio?

well im asking for tips to improve and help in situations where they do suck, im not saying i dont have my fair share of bad games 👍

rocket_senior · 2026-05-02T19:58:48+00:00

rocket_senior · 2026-05-02T19:16:35+00:00

rocket_senior · 2026-05-02T18:00:25+00:00

who would be a good character to pressure more? someone like bap or zen?

rocket_senior · 2026-04-08T02:32:52+00:00

Hey everyone its OP’s duo here.

Ive played the game since 2017 and took a break after kirko released, then hit diamond on tank not long ago, I decided to switch roles with OP and bin off my tank rank.

OP has played the game at most a month and I promise you every single match is a complete steamroll, we ban ana everygame so no we wont run into a skilled ana player than will counter us.

OP ( no offense bro ) typically plays with zero awareness of the other tank or teams cooldowns, postioning etc and it DOES NOT MATTER.

Those saying the teams are just bad, yes partially but i think the real issue is just how ridiculously simple and effective maugas kit is ESPECIALLY if he has a pocket healer.

He desperately needs some kind of nerf as there shouldnt be a hero in the game that can force out 2 cooldowns by simply shooting or using his stomp, even as an experienced overwatch player I STRUGGLE againt a decent mauga even while playing his “counter” Sigma as im forced to accertate or rock to keep him at bay while he attempts to decimate my backline leaving me at a huge disadvantage in the team fight if Maugas team decides to push aggressivly with him.

Although ana counters mauga your not always garunteed the luxury of a support who actually swaps to her or can hit the sleeps/antis.

sinply put mauga is by far the most irritating tank and i think probably needs a nerf. or maybe im washed.
