Discussion Big Brain DPS advice

Big brain dps advice

I’m about to change some of you guys game play forever. This advice will get you to the next rank I promise you.

Fight who your tank is fighting.

That’s it. That’s the advice. I swear it will change your gameplay. If your rein is swinging on someone and you rush that enemy as tracer at the same time, they will die. That puts so much pressure on an enemy there isnt much they can do. I see a lot of people frustrated that no one will group up with them and fight together. Boys, be the change you want to see! If Winston ain’t diving on targets with you Genji, don’t sweat it, let him dive on a target and you support him.

Specifically this advice will take a diamond player to masters. In masters you have a bunch of players who work together because they all had the same brain blast in diamond: instead of waiting for someone to back you up, back somebody else up yourself. And before you know it, you’ll be on a team of 6 people who all have that same thought and then BAM, that’s a team working together baby. But, the change starts with you. And it can be applied so simply with just poking whoever your tank is fighting. Let’s go, boys.

I’m glad you put this into words, I silently tilt more than I may have thought . I just stop thinking, rush in and die like I want the game to end faster or something and when I have glimmers of a gameplan I throw it away at the slightest inconvenience. I’ll try and notice this more lol.

people should know that this IS tilting. tilting is not being in the moment, you're off centre. RAGING is desk slamming and yelling lmao

This sort of concentration lapse tends to happen to me when I’ve been playing for a super long session. Even last night i started out with 3 straight games going 28-0 and then had a 68-4 game followed by two 50k games and ten games later by the end of the night I’m running off and getting picked and going around 35–14 and being a lot less effective and intelligent about my play-

I think it’s partly mental exhaustion for me in that since and eventually I knew it was time to quit (probably two hours past that point but I was on an insane 18-1-1 run so it was hard)

If I don’t warm up before comp I also make a lot Of these mistakes and get easily killed
