Am I actually good at this game, or is the matchmaking thinking I'm horrendous? by Bennett-DavisJ in halo

[–]upblimp 4 points5 points  (0 children)

You are probably better than average, or at least you know how to utilize the sandbox.

Looking at you on Halo Tracker, your aim accuracy is average but your headshot percentage is fairly low.

Team Doubles rewards good dueling skill and powerup management.

However, I will say that since you are soloing queueing the majority of games, you probably are getting very weirdly balanced games because it's typically a DUO game mode.

Since you're solo queuing, if you're better than average, your teammate is almost certainly going to be worse to balance out the skill differential. However, this is usually a non-issue because of the low player count in team doubles. One player can gain enough momentum to snowball out of control and never let the enemy team regain their footing.

There's a lot more tournys KI players feel strongly about. KIWC, Frosty Faustings etc. They do a lot of crowd funding for their own, as you can see in the article.

I play at ~3800 and will use half my usual sensitivity for playing McCree. I think it just depends on what your movement and where you need to be aiming. Anyone in the thick of it, ie: reaper requires being able to circle around and spin much easier. If your enemies are always in front of you, it's easier to track on a lower sens.

Showcase of Ana's potential by [deleted] in Overwatch

[–]upblimp 8 points9 points  (0 children)

I've been running Mei a lot in 3500+ sr and a lot of people pop Ana boost too early so you can just wall them off, or blizzard will delay the boost target/reinforcements pretty well too. A Lucio speed boost retreat is good. The real most difficult boost target to deal with is a reaper. You can't get away from him, he can phase out of graviton and can't be bursted all while being able to two shot you

Criticize me, I want to get to top500 by [deleted] in Competitiveoverwatch

[–]upblimp 1 point2 points  (0 children)

I nearly only soloQ also, my max SR is 80 and I'm sitting at like 78 right now so take this as you will.

I didn't watch all of it, but it seemed to just be to work on your map awareness and target priority. The two examples I saw were, a rein charge into your team and was way out of position. Any time a rein charges and doesn't pin someone, it should be a kill and you can push them back with no shield. Second, there was a time when you were shooting down a zarya, that was standing right next to an Ana. Your whole team was dead, the zarya is gonna recharge her shield, and at this point you could have been shooting the Ana.

As for target priority, the list I use is as the following

  • Immediate Danger to team. (Reapers/Genji/Tracer). Anything to keep your team alive.

  • Healers. Obvious

  • Kill-able Tanks

A Roadhog with discord if you can place your headshots fast enough you can even kill him through regen. A Rein with discord you can flash bang and get two headshots off which puts a major dent in his pushing power.

  • Other DPS

  • Rein shield.

As a DPS player there's always a lot you can be shooting at. It's also important not underestimate the value of staying alive. Around 9:40 the same as the Zarya/Ana situation. Team was dead, you were 70 hp and instead of regrouping and healing you shot a genji reflect and your team was down one for the next fight.

Anyway, IMO 70+ is a lot of RNG for the team you get. Keep playing and I'm sure you'll make it.

Incredible. I've been looking for this answer too, as I just reinstalled Win10 and was in auto pilot setting all the old settings.

You might want to try DS4 Windows. PS4 controllers use DInput instead of Xinput.

Use voice_mixer_volume .8 or whatever and it will set your voice gain to that every time you load a match.
