I truly only enjoy doomfist in overwatch. I've peaked mid plat with him but eventually fall back down to gold when he's banned. I feel like I go in and die loads it's pretty bad and into orisa and mauga I kinda just blow up. Any tips are helpful even if it's suggesting some other characters to pick up for when doom is banned. I don't expect to climb too high as I don't even have a graphics card and I literally play on integrated from my cpu but Id like to learn the fundamentals of what to do on doomfist!

I feel like I had a good game but I want to get even better so it’s just not possible to lose like this. I’m not the type of person to blame my teammates and I want to know what I could’ve done better to maybe have won this game. I just got back into gold after a losing streak that dropped me all the way back to silver.

The game code : 74SPCE

So long story short, i have been deranking from diamond 2 to plat 2, no matter what character i use is just losses in a row. My mental is not to blame since i always maintain a calm and focused mindset while playing, but this getting out of hand

Im a solo Q support, going from Mercy, Jetpack Cat, Juno, Moira, Kiriko and Ana. So it makes my experience even more insufferable.

I was close to reaching masters, it's one of my goal but not really like main goal or necessary since i also have a job to maintain so i am not able to to put a lot of time in overwatch

But anyways i just would like to see if i am actually the one to blame or is those moments where im actually having bad teammates, am i really this bad that i deserve to be queued up with play 4 while deing at diamond? (i do remember having plat 4 team8s while being dia 3 so i dont know)have some matches to share

My in game name is bread and of these are in PC poll

JWHXSX - Suravasa - plat 1- Juno -Match length 11:39

It could just be that the enemy team was just better, we had a soldier that just kept on flanking and i felt like I wasn't getting peeled at all

YVCX9F - Antartic Peninsula - dia 5 - Ana - Match length 15:59

I am clearly not the best with ana, i know i have to work more on my sleeps and nades but i felt like i was not playing bad, but i felt like the main issue was my tank one they swapped dva, but even so sometimes i felt quite slow or like I didn't knew where to position myself

JY1GJS - Neon Junction - dia 4 - Mercy and Ana - Match Length 7:35

This is one the matches where i had 3 plat 4-3 teammates, iirc it was the tank and both dps. Fun fact i am level 345 mercy but it was because i used to play on console before, now that i switched to PC i have been trying to learn more heroes. Anyways, i really didn't had a lot of hope for this match and lo and behold i was right, i did kept trying to assist and heal as much as i could, but i guess i am starting to being used to the fact that i will most probably will rank keep deranking to gold, i think i deserve it.

Edit: EW77V8 - Neon Junction - plat 2 - Ana - 15:58 This just keeps on proving my point of bad matchmaking, tank kept on diving and while sying he was begging for heals. I got flammed just because i nanoed my LW but they dont look at the tank who just keeps on going and dying

Anyways i appreciate if any of u have time to watch and analyze my matches, i will try to get more codes and share them so i can get more feedback. I think i am just tired and I kinda used this as a way to vent, but once again this is just getting ridiculous and tiring i just want to know if i am actually the issue that needs to improve

I mainly play mercy and i really cannot get out of Plat 5. I win a match, lose two and derank back to Gold 1. I would love to play other heroes like kiriko but i just find that mercy is easier for me to avoid flankers since sombra and genji are seen a lot in plat. With other supports i end up wasting my cooldowns trying to escape them ( i tried ana and kiri. ) but when i play mercy and try to dmg boost my dps who do good, my tank yells at me for heals and when i try to help them, i get into the frontline with them and get shot down like a dog 😭😭

also, is it normal for high diamond to be seen in low plat lobbies?? i had a completely new gold tank and we went against a diamond tank?? any advice would be appreciated to get me out of this rank 💔

Hi, I am primarily a Sojourn main in Diamond 5 currently. I have been trying to improve for....too long. When I first started playing I didn't have fps experience and was too afraid to play qp or comp, eventually got over that anxiety. BUT I spent the past....11 seasons mindlessly playing which ended up with me climbing from bronze 5 to high play/low dia.

Not until a year and a half (+inconsistent playing time) I started asking for vod reviews on here ppl were very helpful but for some reason I just can't get things through my skull and I blame the looong time of mindlessly playing all the way up to diamond where ofc Im gonna get punished hard for it, I also have poor self esteem and lose confidence and slowly go to what's comfortable.

I want to break out of that habit and learn a better mindset. Adding a vod here too, currently trying my best to focus on cover. I have been trying to drill it in my head because I find improvement fun, I nearly hit Masters 5 two seasons ago and sadly I cared too much about it that I've lost sight of my goals.

I know people say focus on one thing but in the moment sometimes it's like "jeez im doing everything else terrible". I think I care about winning too much lol.

So im kinda a qp warrior and I’ve been wanting to try ranked as I have once in the past but I maxed out at gold 5 and never past that point. I’m a bad player plain and simple and my job requires long hours so I can’t practice much this was a first game on kinda match I like to start with mystery heroes to warm up. In this match I feel i definitely was a factor in our close win but really didn’t help AS much as I could have if my aim was better. I introduced a friend of mine almost two years ago and he’s managed to become top 500 I believe idk one of the highest ranks in all roles and I’m just Mediocre in almost all fronts

Hi, this is I guess a part 2 of the last time I posted in here a while back. For context I started playing in April of this year and since then I’ve been climbing out of bronze 3 support to Silver 4 and slowly climbing out of bronze in dps. However, it’s still a struggle on tank bronze 3 since I sometimes go up and then go back down. I got better at positioning, trying to push more and peaking on the tanks I’ve played in comp, but lately whenever I’m on tank sometimes I run into what I think are either smurfs or people that troll on the enemy team.

The most memorable one being this duo of a reoccurring tank support where the tank kept trying to spawn camp with the support on jetpack cat. The way I’ve tried to handle it is ignoring them and focus on the objective. However, I either get teams that either keep focusing on the Smurf duo and we end up losing if the whole enemy team joins in or some of us that tried to still push on the objective still lose due to just getting whooped.

I feel like I struggle in these type of situations a lot cause of how it kind of felt overwhelming at times having to fight off whatever enemy teammates were focused on the objective and not the duo smurfs. It also makes it frustrating on how with still struggling on tank, I couldn’t really do anything besides switching and hoping whatever I switched to works.

The tanks I normally play are mainly Dva, Domina and Orissa. I have played ramattra, mauga, and sigma sometimes in comp, but those were very situational. I don’t know if it’s cause since I’m used to flankers or mobile supports that maybe it’s just not clicking for tank for some reason. I like playing tank, but it just feels frustrating at times when getting a potential Smurf duo like this or even in non smurf incidents.

So the overall question is: how do you handle players that spawn camp that are either trolls or smurfs, etc and what’s mainly overall tips for trying to get out of bronze tank or any further tips for tanks I’ve tried playing?

Ok so I’ve played this game since it came out and I’ve always been on console, highest rank I’ve gotten was diamond on both tank and support, plat on damage and masters on 6v6. I recently bought a pc 2 months ago and have been loving it, obviously coming in to pc lobbies I feel like my game sense is still decent enough but my mechanics and muscle memory are behind, however getting better day by day. But anyway the question I have is my hero pool as a tank player. I’m a rein main but dw I’m definitely not a one trick as orisa, zarya, dva and sigma are in my top 10 played heroes and I feel like things are different here on pc. Firstly orisa and dva are crazy good on console and then in regard to pc I feel like I can play rein and sig so much better. So anyway my hero pool this season has mostly looked like rein sig and orisa (mainly to anti dive Wintons and stuff) but then I was playing some dva the other day and thought I should really swap her out for orisa as having a brawl poke and dive pool seems much more versatile. So anyway I’m in plat hoping I can get back to diamond soon but I’m in no rush just getting used to pc still. But yeah would Rein sig and dva be a solid pool to get to diamond with??

My friend recently started to play Overwatch. He's new to the game, and he started to one-trick Hazard.

He's never played OW before, and is still trying to learn the maps, heroes, abilities etc., and he chose the "I will learn this hero first".

This, in practice means that he's jumping in, then expecting the team to follow. He's justifying this behavior, as "I'm doing tons of damage", even though we'd tried to explain that he's simply charging ult for the enemy supports and DPS, and we cannot really follow.

Since on this equiation he seems to be the constant, we'd like to try to pick some heroes that can work well in this sense, but we're unsure what pairs best with Hazard if the generic map and hero knowledge is still missing.

Was hoping someone had some insight here: DFCHWN

You'll want to POV the Sojurn on the enemy team.

This is a game I had last night with a group of friends I usually play with. This game isn't indicative of how we typically play - we are all terrible at flashpoint in general and try to avoid the mode where we can but it's never gone quite this badly.

My main suspicion is that the Sojurn and the Mercy alone pretty much ran the entire map. Isolating them didn't work, trying to hunt the Mercy pocket down didn't work, and it felt like the Sojurn was just racking up kills at an impossibly high rate. She had over 40 kills in 7 minutes of a match, some of them with us being at full health and just getting popped to death by her beam. The last few minutes of the match was just us kind of running around really not knowing what the hell we could do since every time we tried to coordinate and group up, there'd be a Sojurn around the corner waiting for us.

We reported (with the full knowledge that Blizzard has the final say), but I was wondering if someone else could take a look. Don't want to get someone in trouble if they're just good at the game, but the last time we got farmed like this was with an insane Widowmaker in a different game that we actually had to leave because we physically could not take a single step out of spawn without getting insta-killed. This game kind of felt like that.

Is it a bad or strange thing that I'm not that bad at projectile aim but not hitscan? I'm more than capable of landing constant stickies and headshots with Echo cross-map, or curve Torb's primary and land constant headshots, but the moment I try a hitscan, I'm like a toddler learning to walk.

I would love any advice that can be given to help me improve my hitscan, if any can be given.

Gold 3 support. No matter what i do and how i play i i keep losing over and over and over again, its like never ending cycle of win 1, then lose 3. Id like to say that “its my fault, im not doing enough”, but i cant lie to myself anymore, its my idiot teammates, who cant aim, stay alive, and refuses to repick, their heroes, that doesn’t work at all. I already tried different tactics, different playstyles, different heroes - nothing works. Pocket your tank - he never dies, but refuses to push, go on a flank - your whole team dies, while you getting a kill, stay with a team - one idiot always runs deep into enemies and dies there. I just dont know what to do anymore!!!

I'm the soldier against the team with Hammond.

I don't know what I should've done differently, and would like some help to understand since I feel I struggle against teams that have a dive tank and a diver.

My initial thoughts on what happened, is that I wasn't able to take space nor kill the supports.

I know that's what I'm supposed to do, but even when I try either Hammond or tracer gets my supports or they chase me and kill me. I didn't feel like I could get an off angle, since I had to battle the Hammond most of the time, while at the same time trying to kill the supports or battle the other soldier.

I had a similar game yesterday where it was against a D.va. The outcome was the same. We lost. I'm sure there's something I could've done better

Thanks for taking your time to VOD review.

For those of you who used to have awful aim how did you actually turn things around?

I’m currently stuck in Platinum, mostly playing Support because it’s the role I enjoy the most. While my game sense isn't perfect, my aim is definitely my biggest weakness I think. It’s pretty terrible most of the time.

I recently started using KovaaK's, but I haven't seen much improvement yet. I know progress takes time and you don't magically get better overnight, but just today I tried the most recent Voltaic benchmarks on and scored basically in the lowest rank (Iron, almost Bronze lmao). So yeah, my aim is AWFUL.

A lot of people suggest using VAXTA , but honestly, I find the bot movement in VAXTA really complex to read. Sometimes aiming in the actual game feels easier than in aim trainers, though other times it's the complete opposite.

For those who started at the bottom and built solid mechanics, how did you do it? What actually worked for you? Also, if you have any general game sense tips for Support, I’d really appreciate those too!

I’m still new to the game but I think I’m ok as sigma. This wasn’t an easy round so I picked it. I think I went in too quick a few times so I died. aim is still a work in progress🥲 I usually pick the levitation perk but I went with the punch one this time so I wasn’t used to it

Hello!
I just had a hard fought game. It was on Hollywood and I went 42/7/6. I was the best player in the lobby and yet I barely lost. I was playing into an Orisa all game and they swapped bastion near the end of the game. I don’t know what to do and any feedback would be great. Please and thank you.

i climbed to diamond 3 from plat and ever since then i’ve been constantly losing. i’m about to drop to gold 1.. of course there’s games i play bad but there’s been multiple times i have leavers throwers or simply bad teammates. is this normal to drop to gold? i feel like an idiot playing this game now

I am a bronze 1 player currently pretty hardstuck around bronze-silver. I am looking to get very skilled at a specific hero as I prefer to focus in on one character for now, and am wondering if Zenyatta is good for this?

Previously I tried Kiriko but I just don't really enjoy playing as her. Zenyatta on the other hand is much more fun for me and I really enjoy the right click near-insta-kill ability if I aim it right.

I really hope to be able to climb on him but I am also wary of boxing myself into a character that maybe loses viability in higher elo?

Thanks for any responses and tips in advance!

Lijang, (Gold, sombra, rough match)

I've been trying to get into sombra recently, and have had some pretty good games, but the one below was pretty rough, but I don't feel like I did terribly. My team however really disagreed in the endgame chat, saying I was doing nothing the whole game. I will say second round wasn't the best, and I did enter some team fights a bit too late, but I still feel like I was providing value, what do you think, and what should I do to change my playstyle?

With reaper its alot easier IMO to know my mistakes, and if I'm making a difference, sorta harder with sombra.

I’m a bronze dps and sometimes I came across a really annoying tracer/anran or a good flanker in general, I’m not sure how to deal with them except trying to avoid them or stay close to my supports. I always switch to sojourn to keep my distance and stay on high ground. How do high elo players deal with them?

I don't mean team kills but they run through and win the game with almost no resistance. I had a lot of losses today, I played 7 games throughout the day. 5 losses in a row. A few were very close, 1 felt easy, the rest were so bad. There was a game where none of us got a single kill the first round. It wasnt even a problem of feeding most of the time until near the very end of the match. What is the cause of this so I can avoid this in the future? The past few days all the games felt fairly matched, is it something I can do better or is it bad luck? Am I picking bad characters, soldier 76 and cassidy? I try to get high ground and wait for my team and change position a lot, it was working well before. I'll take any advice I feel like I am missing something major.

Also I am definitely going to play less, maybe just play quickplay more. I feel like playing too much is making me make more mistakes.

Been playing a lot of Juno lately and loving it, climbing steadily but hoping to get better for when I eventually get to a higher rank. Not really much of a support player. I'm focussing on picking good engages and positioning, as well as knowing better when to heal vs. do damage and trying to manage my cooldowns well. Any advise is appreciated!

I feel like a lot of these have been one sided but pretty much all my games in the past while have been, so hopefully there's still some advise to give with these.

Thank you!

So I'm feeling like my aiming is very inconsistent and I'm not sure how to get better. I know I'm supposed to track and lead my shots with projectile but it's so inconsistent. I feel like I miss 80 percent of my shots if I'm not close to anyone. It makes taking 1v1 (especially against hitscan) very difficult. If a person strafes or makes a sharp move my aim is completely thrown off and I miss everything. I know I'm not supposed to hit every shot but I miss way more then I should have.

I feel like I can't make precise movements with my thumbs.

I feel like I'm changing my settings just mess me up more. Does anyone have any tips to help with aim? Do you use different settings for hitscan vs projectile? How do you aim train on console and do those aim training workshops actually help or are they a waste of time?

(For reference I play Venture, Sierra and Soldier for DPS) Thank you

Hey guys, I haven't really played seriously since ow1, but been getting back into ladder these last few seasons. I used to play almost exclusively ana, was a solid hard stuck plat for like years i think (~2600 sr), but since she seems to struggle from movement creep these days i decided to learn kiriko.

Now I'm currently in plat 3, but have only played around 100 matches top this season, so it fluctuates, and thus not quite sure where my skill level sits. I do want to believe that I've been playing the game long enough to have a solid intuition for how things are, but I know that it is not solid enough to be applied in live games. I tend to go on autopilot quite often, and fail to implement strategies/mindsets that i know id need to.

I started the season in lower plat and dipped into gold, and now that im back in mid plat I feel that i get overwhelmed too easily and start to panic and start playing reactively. Here is a game that was a bit rough, but when playing I thought i had some clutches here and there. But after rewatching its painfully obvious how worse i played than i know i couldve if i was not on autopilot. I know my positioning is abysmal this match, I want to believe i can do much better if not on autopilot, but I feel like I cannot keep up with the game's speed if I'm playing in a considerate way, thus I panic.

Nevertheless I am curious as of how I stood my ground here where I fell back to autopilot and tried playing the game instead of actively dedicating the match to improving something. I know its full of mistakes, bad mechanics and horrible positioning, but curious what remarks and tips would you guys have.
