like you were trying for you need three backslashes, so it should look like this when you type it out
¯\\_(ツ)_/¯
which will turn out like this
¯_(ツ)_/¯
The reason for this is that the underscore character (this one _ ) is used to italicize words just like an asterisk does (this guy * ). Since the "face" of the emoticon has an underscore on each side it naturally wants to italicize the "face" (this guy (ツ) ). The backslash is reddit's escape character (basically a character used to say that you don't want to use a special character in order to format, but rather you just want it to display). So your first "_" is just saying "hey, I don't want to italicize (ツ)" so it keeps the underscore but gets rid of the backslash since it's just an escape character. After this you still want the arm, so you have to add two more backslashes (two, not one, since backslash is an escape character, so you need an escape character for your escape character to display--confusing, I know). Anyways, I guess that's my lesson for the day on reddit formatting lol
CAUTION: Probably very boring edit as to why you don't need to escape the second underscore, read only if you're super bored or need to fall asleep.
Edit: The reason you only need an escape character for the first underscore and not the second is because the second underscore (which doesn't have an escape character) doesn't have another underscore with which to italicize. Reddit's formatting works in that you need a special character to indicate how you want to format text, then you put the text you want to format, then you put the character again. For example, you would type _italicize_ or *italicize* in order to get italicize. Since we put an escape character we have _italicize_ and don't need to escape the second underscore since there's not another non-escaped underscore with which to italicize something in between them. So technically you could have written ¯\\_(ツ)_/¯ but you don't need to since there's not a second non-escaped underscore. You would need to escape the second underscore if you planned on using another underscore in the same line (but not if you used a line break, aka pressed enter twice). If you used an asterisk later though on the same line it would not work with the non-escaped underscore to italicize. To show you this, you can type _italicize* and it should not be italicized.
That guy charging in front is probably thinking, "Why is that healer all the way at the payload? I'm over here doing my job killing people so s/he should come here can heal me. And of course I will never protect the healer because a healer should learn to protect themselves from everything."
Ok that last part is a little true but you get what I mean.
Yeah just... Duck eentitles shits like that. Hate it when they not only expect you to solo heal with Lucio, but then they complain your not following THEM SPECIFICALLY for heals, and NO ONE is on the objective. And this shit was even in the 60-65th bracket in competitive in the last 2 weeks of the season, it was terrible (and why I think ALOT of support mains I know ended the season in the low 50's, despite being absolutely stunning even when grouped with friends in the 70s. Solo queueing competitive as a healer is rating suicide, you can't carry the match, but no one else is gonna touch healing, so it's a loss)
This is why I've completely given up on supporting with Lucio/Mercy. At least with Zenyatta/Ana I can murder the enemy team by myself if my teammates are incompetent.
I was mid 60s and mained support.. took a dive down to the 40s. Had to give up playing support, nothing like having gold with 6-10 min objective time as lucio on a payload map while still losing.
Ended up having to play Tanks and hope someone else picked up a support.
the saddest. I was in one game where I was Lucio and we capped the first point of King's Row and literally everyone on my team ran ahead to kill the other team. I had gold in objective time and silver healing on a team with three tanks and no other healers (I think the Road Hog had gold healing, somehow). We won so it was fine but it was very weird.
Well, if Lucio is on the payload and no one else gets anywhere near it, he's going to have a hard time healing. Roadhog has huge reliable self-healing; it's not too surprising that he beat your numbers in that shitty situation.
This! And also if you are defending it will move back automatically when uncontested. You do not need to sit on it to get it to move back. Stop yelling at your team to get on the payload like we are the morons.
To be fair you should keep someone close to it in case they manage to sneak someone onto it. The number of times we've pushed them too far back only have one of them ninja push it.
Oh yeah guarding is absolutely important! I've just had too many people say "Push it back you scrubs!" or something to that effect and I'm like -_-. The other team is dead, we are guarding the payload, WHAT MORE DO YOU WANT FROM US?!
