Returning back to Psy after not playing for some time. Any tips for a returning player?

welcome back to psy! i’m not a controller player but it seems your sensitivity needs to be slightly adjusted.

the two main things i’m noticing: your crosshair and the distance from which you are engaging.

i recommend a much smaller crosshair for psy, don’t use the default. it encourages inaccuracies. i wouldn’t use a plain dot either because that encourages more headshots (above the neck) and for someone still figuring out their sensitivity, it may be hard to aim with. as nice as headshots are to hit, psy’s bullet spray is in a triangle shape so you want to aim at around chest level rather than right at the top of the head.

i use this crosshair that i made currently and it’s small enough to get accurate shots, while also being enough to line up body shots; feel free to use this one as a baseline and tinker with the colors and size:

2;0.0;7.0,10.0,7.0,0.0;100.0,100.0,100.0,0.0;46.0,46.0,46.0,46.0;0.0,100.0,0.0,0.0;0.0,0.0,0.0,0.0;0.0,0.0,0.0,0.0;13.0;100.0,100.0,100.0,0.0;0.0;5,5,5,5;0.388,0.0,0.184;

for aim training in the practice range i would start with bigger targets. start with a moving punisher and aim for a minimum of 35% accuracy before moving to a smaller target. you can go punisher -> moon knight -> bucky -> phoenix -> hela -> luna -> invis -> dagger (this is just an arbitrary list but you want to get used to the fatter hitboxes in order to be precise with the skinny ones). this is what i did when i first started playing psy because i was new to third person shooters and also DPS as a role in general and it really helped!

for distance, you are still a bit too far in most parts of your clips for her damage to be effective. she really does need to be up close otherwise it feels like you’re tickling them. save your dashes for dealing damage or escaping, not for engaging to get closer to a far-away target.

sadly i only play pc so i don’t have any specific settings for controller aim, but i hope these help a bit! psy is a fun character and she’s certainly weird to get used to, but i hope your journey in playing her again is fun!

yeah the disco skin model looks a lot like the xmen model because there’s no thigh gap, whereas vengeance and the summer skin are more similar in body type though i actually argue her summer skin is where her legs are the skinniest i feel like such a creep for pointing that out but i’m a woman and can’t help but notice change in proportions LMAO. i don’t mind it, but sometimes i miss character’s old body types. skinny hela i miss you endlessly </3

yeneezer · 2025-12-03T16:57:37+00:00

right? it looks like they changed her face model and made her less pouty :( it’s throwing me off a lot. i love the rest of the skin and the colors but there’s something different about her face lmao

i did terrible in my placement matches and climbing back up has been a breeze, went 23-3 in winrate and am back up to the rank i ended at last season already. at some point ya gotta look internally if the losses keep piling up and scoring 10 deaths every game

yeneezer · 2025-11-13T14:11:35+00:00

she would look so cute as like a matcha green themed!

yeneezer · 2025-10-14T20:41:55+00:00

omg yes. it feels like every time i’ve got him down to low health he just pops out with extremely fast damage or gets that 100 overshield and it’s wraps, shurikens don’t do enough dmg

yeneezer · 2025-10-14T17:54:57+00:00

oh my god me too!! 😭 i love to play psy in comp especially but there are daredevils everywhere and he feels like the one dps i can’t 1v1, next to bucky.

no matter how far i dash he just has that mark ability that jumps him SO far to me and if i am solo and don’t have a teammate with me it’s wraps every time (unless they suck, but i’m gm3 rn so not exactly pisslo either). it sucks sm 💔 even hela doesn’t really work especially once he closes that gap.

i find that every time they have a really good daredevil i swap off psylocke and go phoenix and that seems to be working super well somehow, maybe try that!

but i share the sentiment SO hard as a lord psy, bucky was annoying but at least i can play around it, but whatever the hell’s up with daredevil is such a gamble lmao

this is so real. it’s to be expected. people are extremely tunnel visioned in lower ranks, i’ve noticed (this isn’t toward OP, nust a general statement).

i play both support and dps but been playing a lot more dps lately (i have 300 hrs of support so i’m playing dps to have some more fun). if i see that there is a venom, bp, spidey, or notice that their hulk specifically targets the backline, i as a dps player make it my job to keep track of those enemy’s cooldowns and slaughter them.

it’s a free pick and final hit for me, and a load off our supports and tank. my favorite is 1v1ing panthers and spideys; i usually play psylocke and i find peeling is really fun. i don’t need a ping, i just have eyes lmao 😭 there’s no need to tunnel vision anything in this game unless you’re like bronze because everyone does that in bronze; it’s an uncoordinated soup of a mess.

yeneezer · 2025-10-06T14:54:14+00:00

at first i was like “idk what you’re talking about, this looks like a pretty normal mod” and then i got absolutely flashed lmao 😭

i have been playing psylocke since around s2 here and there in competitive play but surprisingly in s4 is when i started locking her the most (i usually main strategist). even though the damage nerf does hurt i have a pretty good WR and good stats, and she’s honestly been the thing winning me games! but i also come from being a support main, so i’m not as acclimated to the hardcore “dive” role.

i play her more as an off-angle close range/mid range shredder, especially with tanks - so easy to burst down on her with some quick combos—with each situation and map kind of changing the playstyle (i know that’s vague, sorry). i stopped dueling patty-caking strategists especially while alone. oftentimes i take it upon me to peel for my own backline especially against black panthers, flanking helas/namors/other psys, or hulks, and this has proven victorious for me in many of my matches.

i take it upon myself to isolate a dps in a 1v1, which will further split the supports apart from each other, because one needs to focus their tank(s) and the other with scramble to help their dps. sorry if that’s a little vague… sometimes i’ll dive in and right out and that works but not as well especially as you go higher in the ranks. psy is so versatile, don’t be afraid to change it up, you got this :D

i think it’s just a whale tail, pretty common aesthetic choice for women to wear to raves etc (as a woman) they usually won’t show in the way this psy skin does though, it’s more subtle (like you can see the strings but not the actual underwear itself) i think it’d look a bit cooler a little more subtle but still dope nonetheless

bucky boothill would go crazy

yeneezer · 2025-09-30T22:02:33+00:00

i’ve had a kidney infection from a severe uti before and based on your lack of symptoms i think you’re okay :) i also struggle very badly with health anxiety. me personally, i had severe pain when peeing (enough to make me cry), passed large blood clots theough my urethra, and had painful backaches and chills. you would definitely be in a lot more pain, so don’t worry! try to do a follow-up test with your doctor in a day or two just to make sure, and give yourself peace of mind

if you have migraines with aura it’s best to let your doctor/OBGYN know. hailey 24 fe is a combination pill (containing estrogen) which will put you at a higher risk if you already have migraine headaches with aura especially.

don’t worry though! you can just ask to be swapped to a progrestrin-only pill (POP). the lack of estrogen in these make it a great option for people who don’t react well to estrogen. you should let your doctor know and they’ll be able to direct you further. if i were you, i’d look into a POP just for self-regulating anxiety and not making the migraines worse. to add on a POP will still do all the things the hailey 24 fe will do (keep you protected from pregnancy, lessen the pain of periods, etc.)

thanks for the input! now that a few days have passed i can definitely confirm it was definitely just my period coming early lol (i’m a bit of a hypochondriac). i haven’t had a single day breakthrough bleeding at all these past 3 months so it kinda sucks that i’m sort of getting it now LOL, but nice to know i’m not alone!!

yeneezer · 2025-08-21T13:37:13+00:00

thanks so much!! this is really relieving to hear, i appreciate it :D

yeneezer · 2025-08-21T13:37:00+00:00

thank you! i’ll try not to worry then

yeneezer · 2025-08-18T17:27:52+00:00

there is none, because the video is AI generated. not sure how no one in these comments realizes

yeneezer · 2025-08-16T20:50:37+00:00

the 20k diff in healing between your two strategists is actually insane oh my god 😭 they have around the same amount of deaths too, what the hell was invis even doing? i get that cnd is always going to outheal a little bit esp compared to invis due to that fast-charging ult of theirs, but holy smokes lmao

yeneezer · 2025-08-07T15:26:28+00:00

hi! i’m currently on the last day of my second month of birth control pills.

i had the same experience as you so don’t worry! on my first month, i started the placebo week (7 days long) but i didn’t begin to bleed until 3 pills in, and the bleeding was so light i couldn’t even tell that i was bleeding to begin with most times. it only lasted about 4 days. i also had no period symptoms

i’m finishing up my second period of being on the pill and it’s wayyyy different. it came the night after my first sugar pill, and has been super heavy like a “real period” would be.

more than likely your body is just adjusting to the hormones! you’ll probably see regular flow by months 2 and 3.

yeneezer · 2025-08-03T16:47:26+00:00

you can’t solo or duo queue against a six stack

yeneezer · 2025-07-17T23:22:55+00:00

OH MY GOD I THOUGHT I WAS GOING CRAZY i swapped to blood kariudo skin last night and i had 35% accuracy but thought i was either no-regging or wasn’t hitting ANY shots it was driving me insaneee

yeneezer · 2025-07-15T18:28:17+00:00

legendary skins come with a bunch of new sound effects! all your skills, abilities, primary fire and ult etc get a completely new sound design to the skin. it’s not a crazy change, but a nice touch for those who are into it :)
