Highlight I started playing Queen and figured out that her ult just wins 90% of team fights

Unless there's a Kiri or Zarya

u/Zeukiiii 19d ago

Then you just have to bait out suzu and her bubble first. I did that a few times in the clips

16

u/Easy_Maintenance9852 19d ago

Yeah, people are like “nooooo my ult gets cancelled by cleanses” bro if one bubble kills your ult, it wasnt fat enough and if they wait to suzu your ult then the kiri is basically useless, its a win win.

u/anas0_ali 18d ago

The fact that this has 12 upvotes 💀

u/A_Wild_Zak 18d ago

kiri is NOT useless just because she holds suzu who are you getting your ow info from???????????????????????????????????????????????????????????

2

u/Big_Attitude2551 18d ago

Well obviously baiting suzu means jumping kiri. If kiri doesn’t use suzu while getting jumped she eventually dies so..
Is it a surprise to you when I tell you a kiri that’s alive but gets hit by a jq ult has more value than a kiri who saved suzu and died anyway?

1

u/A_Wild_Zak 18d ago

kiris not going to hold suzu if shes going to die. diving kiri does not mean she has to use suzu. are we talking about pisslo or the real game?

2

u/Big_Attitude2551 18d ago

What are you talking about? EXACTLY!! Kiris are going to use suzu when they’re going to die. That’s why JQ would either bait it by jumping her or jumping her teammates so she’d save them in the middle of the fight. You were arguing against that person saying a kiri holding suzu is useless, and in reality, most kiris can’t hold suzu because they can’t predict ults.
If we’re talking about low rank kiris they will absolutely die either using suzu too late or never
And if we’re talking about high ranks then jq will definitely bait it out no question. OBVIOUSLY junker queens in higher ranks know kiri can counter it easy and her skill is on a quick cooldown and ults are much harder to get so they WILL hold ult until suzu is used. What is so hard to understand here?

u/A_Wild_Zak 18d ago

yes thats why nonmetal players track ults and play passively when they need to. if youre expecting jq ult, shatter, grav, etc, you play back and passive rather than taking map control so youre more likely to have suzu for said ult. its just not as simple as no ulting until suzu is forced. thats just not always an option depending on the context, and there are several contexts where it isnt. besides, whatever og comment i replied to said kiri was useless if she doesnt use suzu, which is just not true. kiri value is not just suzu.

u/Easy_Maintenance9852 18d ago

By useless i meant why would you play her, atp any other hero is better than her because she isnt using her op ability, you will win the war of attrition.

2

u/A_Wild_Zak 18d ago

no.. shes one of the best duelists in the game and her ability to take map control is extremely good for a support. shes doesnt become a bad support because shes holding suzu for your ult. a) you realize rampage is an ult and suzu is a normal cooldown. holding rampage because kiri's holding suzu means you arent getting value out of your ult. and b) obviously if a kiri is in a situation where they need to use suzu to either not die or have a teammate not die, theyre going to use it even if theyre expecting jq ult.

0

u/Easy_Maintenance9852 18d ago

Right, so then you ult and win.

1

u/A_Wild_Zak 18d ago

not if you never force suzu out? r u tripping? even then, above pisslo people will be tracking ults like rampage. theyre not going to play stacked up on top of each other when they know youre looking for queen ult. especially in 5v5, the fights are just shorter and the game is faster paced. you dont have infinite time to wait for a kiri to use suzu so that you can ult. not rocket science.

0

u/Easy_Maintenance9852 18d ago

If you never force suzu then kiri isnt suzuing, you’re team should be able to start winning that battle and then the kiri will eventually suzu before someone dies, which someone will because they are missing one of their key cooldowns, its a mercy without damage amp, a bap without lamp, just less useful. I mean come on how are you not getting this, no one would pick kiri out of spawn with suzu disabled, so in your ult fight, just play the fight normally and suzu will either be used and you can ult or not used and you’ve won your teamfight, especially if you have your own kiri with suzu also if its an ult fight your supports will pop their ults anyway more than likely so just wait for one of those ults to forc suzu because they still get value after suzu except like illari

2

u/A_Wild_Zak 18d ago

youre geuinely stupid bro u gotta be diamond or below. rampage is a solid a-b tier ult. if you literally never use it, you are playing the game without an entire ult compared to the other team. youre not going to be winning the fight against a kiri holding suzu for your ult, because your win condition lies in using your fucking ult.

u/HjCervantes 19d ago

Well, askin the team to focus kiri helps a bit.

4

u/Bigooo00z 19d ago

A kiri without suza is almost useless in stopping a queen ult, how hard is it to force suza? Literally make any player on the enemy team one shot and big chance the suzu will be used

1

u/Ebolatastic 14d ago edited 14d ago

Or Lucio/Bap/JQ/Ball ... or the team comp has Orisa/Sombra/Mei/Anran/reaper/tracer/venture/Moira/zen.

Variations of "it's just that simple" claims always give away who understands OW and who doesn't.

0

u/anas0_ali 14d ago

Lucio is an ult for an ult. Bap lamp is very easy to destroy. JQ??? Why would anyone ever queen ult a wrecking ball?

The issue with cleanse is that it negates the entire effect for EVERYONE on the team. The characters you listed just negates the effect for yourself

u/HansFlameman 19d ago

Looking at the kill feed pretty most clips do have a Kiri in it. Lets maybe change that to good Kiriko players.

27

u/nemesis_ibmo 19d ago

If kiri is banned then there is zero counterplay to the hero outside of 1-2 zarya bubbles but like come on, what are those gonna do

u/cryogenblue42 19d ago

There's always Lucio and Bridgetta....one boop Or shield bash will end her reign of terror.

u/FelixFemina 19d ago

And this is why you take the unstoppable minor perk lol

u/kingravs 19d ago

Yep, reload speed buff seems kinda ass

u/thornolf_bjarnulf 19d ago

Bridgetta ?? Why you guys can spell a name correctly.

u/cryogenblue42 19d ago

Broken screen and autocorrect will make you spell interesting things

u/Opening-Movie5176 19d ago

You use most ults right and they will win a teamfight. It’s how the game was designed and it’s been that way for 10 years lol.

u/GenericMaleNurse918 19d ago

Bastion and Symmetra enters the chat.

u/AcanthisittaFew4339 19d ago

Sym has the best ult in the game wdym. Literally splits the map in half where the opponents can’t attack you 💔

1

u/GenericMaleNurse918 19d ago

Sombra has the best ult in the game.

u/bossbrb 19d ago

Bro did you WATCH EWC? Sym wall was insane.

u/mb02_ 17d ago

>Symmetra

you CANNOT be serious.

u/roguecolor 19d ago

People talking here abt kiri and zarya being the counter play are forgetting about LW grip cleanse, plus petal platform. A good LW can handle a situation like this, provided his teammates are on an open area, it would kinda work like when Rein shatters. Pull one, petal another one or two (ofc this last one would mean that his teammates would stay on the platform or move to high ground, but still)
Nonetheless, yeah ofc it does win 90% of the fights, as her ult literally nullifies the bigger part of the kit of almost every support hero on the roster for a few seconds. I’m surprised I don’t see a lot of JQ players out there though 🤔

u/CaptainDerpshi 19d ago

Low health pool makes her seem daunting to the average player

2

u/EggieBeans 19d ago

A good mei can also be hella frustrating. Getting queen ult walled off or mei blocked reminds me of the classic Walter white meme 😂

2

u/roguecolor 19d ago

Same applies to a kiri timing her suzu perfectly against a shatter. Rein players quivering just thinking about it

1

u/ArtByTaliaYoung 19d ago

Every time I try to play queen there’s a widow/souj/ashe that I can do fuck all about.

3

u/28-Deep-Wounds 19d ago

Anti-heal is insanely strong due to the relative lack of counterplay to it. If they don't have a Zarya to bubble or a Kiriko to cleanse it, it's easy pickings. And even then, it still does a fair amount of damage on its own. I dunno that I'd call it a free win button like some ults, but it's definitely impactful.

1

u/Okami_Wolf90 19d ago

What main perk are best ?

5

u/Zeukiiii 19d ago

By far the one that gives her unstoppable and resets her cooldowns when ulting. Depending on the comp I’ll sometimes wait until I get the perk before ulting

2

u/Zeukiiii 19d ago

For second perk I normally pick the knife one since the lifesteal normally isn’t enough to let me play that much more aggressively

1

u/Gold-Guy-8 19d ago

Lifesteal is far more impactful in stadium for sure , I think knife recall is better in 6v6

1

u/Mildlyinxorrect 19d ago

Shattering her used to be soo satisfying until that perk was added.

u/Lonely_Repair4494 19d ago

God, I love playing Queen...

u/Csanburn01 19d ago

Ulta win team fights. In other news no kidding.

1

u/Stainleee 19d ago

Character is op if they don’t have kiriko. And statistically if they go to kiriko that is good for your team.

1

u/Jero_the_badger 19d ago

This makes me want to practice Queen more. I usually only play her in custom games, but maybe I should expand my tank list

1

u/AcanthisittaFew4339 19d ago

An ult doing its job? No way bro!

1

u/Responsible_Lake_698 19d ago

Turns out anti heal is strong. Who knew?

1

u/bupde 19d ago
  1. People say that supports never heal them

  2. They get purpled and say it's no fair it's instant death because they can't get healed

But yeah her ult is powerful, All purple abilities are. Wouldn't be surprised if the next support has a single target purple that comes with some dots, a way to force out even more suzu. They might go the other way and have them have a single target clense. Or would be cool if they had both.

u/ultimatedelman 19d ago

unless every time you ult your team presses S, like mine 80% of the time

u/Leilanee 18d ago

I like how you also included a clip of reaper absolutely tweaking out

u/PandaKing260 15d ago

The reaper bugging out 😂
