Man there is just zero excuse for letting people start in green channel in comp. I'm 3 matches into placement and haven't had a single one where the whole team was in blue.

Went 3-6-1 and got Gold, did I git gud? I'm not sure. One of those losses was some weird disconnect, which was too bad because up to that point I was alternating wins and losses and was at least hoping to bust my rear end up to being 5-5. Currently at 2145. Just last game the only audible guy on mic is sperging out about team comps, accusing all of us of trolling him and giving the other team a free win. And of course we come back with two massive upsets to the opponents which makes him look like a huge whiny baby the whole time.

Can Ana serve as a solo healer as a rule? Haven't played her yet. Also what's the difference / point between this and the chill thread, I've lost track

Ciaphas posted:Can Ana serve as a solo healer as a rule? Haven't played her yet. I mean as a rule you generally don't want a solo healer at all. Any of the supports can serve as a solo healer if nobody else is willing to play support and one is better than none. Ana can do good work but as a solo support her crippling weakness is that while her ult is a good enabler for breaking through a choke or helping someone get a sick triple-kill it won't do anything to protect your team when poo poo goes down unless you're a miracle worker with sleep darts.

So the game's shifted to two supports per team instead of one? Hm. Alright, I guess

Ciaphas posted:Can Ana serve as a solo healer as a rule? Haven't played her yet. It's completely dependent on the group. Ana is useless if everyone is running off in different directions trying to make those sick plays on their own. Of course then your whole group is hosed in general. People say she's good as an off healer but I don't really agree. Her main problem is that she has poo poo mobility and no escape tools like the other 3 (her sleep dart is not reliable, it is hard to hit with that thing), so if your team isn't supporting you back, it's pointless. edit: What no you don't need two supports, idk what that dude is talking about. Two supports is obviously good but so is two of lots of things. You aren't gimping yourself by having only one healer

Macaluso posted:edit: What no you don't need two supports, idk what that dude is talking about. Two supports is obviously good but so is two of lots of things. You aren't gimping yourself by having only one healer I mean you can win with any comp, I've won games before where our only "support" was a Symmetra but that doesn't mean I'd recommend it. Having only a single support means that you're at kind of a disadvantage, sorry, people didn't just spontaneously decide to roll with double-support because of a dare. Having a single support means that you're going to be more vulnerable to having your lone support dived and killed and then the rest of your team is without healing or utility boosts while you wait for them to respawn, double-support helps keep your team up and effective for longer without having to break off and fall back scavenging for health packs, and it alleviates the pressure from the solo support player who no longer has to feel like they're responsible for the entire team's wellbeing all on their own. Also double support ults is extremely handy to have. Here's a bit more of a detailed breakdown of Ana. Cons: -No mobility whatsoever, she's with Zenyatta in that regard. Can't hurry to catch up with the team, can't quickly reposition. -Unlike the other supports you have to be pretty on-point with your aim. Your healing projectiles have generous hitboxes but still, this is unlike Lucio who heals by being nearby or Zenyatta who can send a healing orb your way and then let it do its thing. As Ana you have to be "on" 100% the entire game. -For a support, has kind of bad self-healing options. Lucio and Mercy regenerate, and technically so does 3/4ths of Zenyatta's health bar. Her only self-sustain is the biotic grenade which much of the time you'll want to be chucking into teamfights. -No panic button ult. Nanoboost won't save your team from an ulting Genji or an Earthshatter, or bring them back from death. Pros: -Can put out very good damage if your aim is on-point. Zen is still the support king of DPS but a well-played Ana is almost certainly in second place. -Biotic Grenade's ability to deny the enemy healing can be an incredibly strong pressuring tool. Being able to effectively tell someone "actually for the next few seconds it's like you don't have any supports at all" can be the difference between a fight ending triple-kill and getting bogged down or pushed back. -Reasonably high healing output potential. Mercy has taken the number-one solo healing trophy since the latest patch but as with damage, Ana comes in a respectable second. This is contingent on your aim and awareness, of course, but the ceiling is there to reach for. -Nanoboost charges extremely fast. An Ana that's firing on all cylinders can easily have it charged to full in less than a minute.

And her ult, of course, is super effective if you boost it in at angles.

Ersatz posted:D.Va's tons of fun. You've just got to swoop in, rocket punch, and shoot mans in the head until they fall down. Her cannons do great work up close. Yeah nothing is more fun than rocket punching a Hanzo or widow on their perch then point blank blasting them in the head. D.Va is really fun I find and having a second life is awesome for when you overextend. She's not top tier damage but she's a blast to play and survivable as hell.

Like with Winston, one of the keys to running D.Va well seems to be learning how not to overextend hunting for kills, especially as D.Va might have a boost but she's a strictly inferior pursuer to Winston who can chase and shoot at full speed. Sticking with the group until you find an opportunity to range out and finish someone off then boosting back to rejoin the team works a lot better, plus it lets you use your defense matrix to shield more than just yourself.

TheresaJayne posted:You guys are so much better than me, how can i "git gud"? It's a combination of how overtime works + how people in quickplay save all their ults until the very end of a match for the last desperate push (encouraged by how overtime works). It's not throwing the match as much as people just kinda rush one by one into the point until the match is almost over. At this point I usually play the last 10 seconds or so assuming every single enemy is going to ult at the same time which leads to me also saving up my ult. Having something like Lucio or Zenyatta activate their ult at the end can undo a lot of the desperate rush strategy

I know they turned up the range of Mei's ult, but did they turn up the speed too? I played a match where we got five dropped on us over the last five minutes and OT, along with three in the rest of the match. Player ended up with 55 freezes. And it wasn't a stomp we were in the 90% until we got that one-per-minute barrage.

I've gradually gotten better at D.Va after learning a few tricks from other players. She doesn't have to reload which is nice because close up you can just mash down LMB and spray away. Her dash shoves enemies around and is a great setup for her ult. I also learned you can trigger your ult in the split second before you eject out of your destroyed mech, which leads to quite a few surprise kills. But you gotta be careful where you hop in a fresh mech because it appears that all those frames of animation where the mech teleports to your position you are still obviously 'zero suit' D.Va; I've gotten killed many times when an enemy hit me in what must've been the very last frame of the animation.

Dumb question: Is there any significance to rating a match or voting on a player for doing particularly notable (most eliminations, healing, etc)? Also in one of my games someone got a whopping 10 votes which apparently is a higher tier of reward or something?
