[@PowyMeowy]

The bastions solo ulting one another the whole game is probably the funniest thing I’ve ever seen. I can imagine how this game played out with the A plot being the tank raging at the supports and the B plot being the bastions feuding.

[@KikiCatMeow]

As a bastion main, I can confirm that this happens all the time in bronze. It’s one of the many unwritten rules that both bastions must solo-ult one another

[@PowyMeowy]

@@KikiCatMeow that’s amazing lol. To show dominance among each other like wolves. Alpha bastion.

Lol unfortunately people don't respect the 1v1. When I play hanzo, sometimes I'll be dueling the enemy Hanzo, then a widow or someone else starts helping them :/ then my team asking what I'm doing because I can't kill the enemy hanzo 😢 I always wonder how my team is having trouble controlling the objective, when I'm 1v2 or 1v3, they should have the advantage being 4v3/2

[@khaledm.1476]

@@DapimpBDSD Play around your team and use them to help your out. I was in a brig 1v1 duel and the other brig complained I got a mercy pocket but I was playing around corners and next to my team, the other brig had a widow with her so I didn't want to go super aggressive. They lost because they didn't utilize their team

[@DapimpBDSD]

@Khaled M. I do but my complaint is that while I'm busy aggroing the enemy sniper(s) and sometime 2 more characters, the rest of my team SHOULDNT have any problems with the remaining 3 or 2 players, since there are 4 of them.

[@connordestefano4112]

I love the trinity of Emongg, Flats, and Jay3's spectator commentary. Like, Jay3 will commentate about what he likes about what the bronze is doing, what he doesn't like, etc, without much bias. Emongg will commentate while trying to educate and give helpful tips. Flats will just roast the shit out of them. Not like that's an issue or as if one way of commentary is better than the other, but I like how the three of them expand that spectrum

Come for the Kiriko advice, stay for the Bastion feud of the century.

[@Randamono]

As a Kiriko in bronze, our teammates usually have “fox avoidance syndrome” which consists in actively avoiding all the kitsunes you use during the game, they might go the same path a 100 times, but the moment you kitsune there, they decide to try new paths!

[@sthepcorms6747]

Do you play like that Kiriko on the video? If so, change your playstyle, you're Kiriko, not an Ana, if you're closer to your team, you're gonna miss less kitsunes You're not an backside character

[@BB-un2ts]

Or like they are pushing against the enemy fox and staying in its path, but when you use it while the enemy team have no ult and your team have 0 danger, suddenly they chose to wait far away from your path, doing nothing, not pushing or anything else.

As a bronze bastion, can confirm that 9/10 times the enemy tank just tries to tank my damage in assault, usually no shield. Ramattra, Rein, Zarya, they all do it. Unless you’re a Sigma or a Dva you’re just gonna die 😭 Also that bastion ult was so funny lmao, based

[@QueenLayla39]

Ramattra's just doesn't know how to handle Assault form then lol. The best play I do is when Bastion transforms you go straight to Nemesis and Block the entire thing, canceling it out lol. Guess some just don't understand to use Nemesis as a defensive ability and just think "Punch Punch!!"

[@fireblitz3438]

@@QueenLayla39 it’s not even that, the real problem is how he is using it to engage fights, he is overextending WAY too much and costs himself his own life because there is no one that can support him because he is overextending without his team to help him. On top of that, that form is meant for space control and to punish enemies who are out of position, not for aggression despite the common conception of the character. As a Ramattra/flex tank, positioning and engagements is everything and when opportunities are present that should be taken to advantage. I get this bronze ranking but man when I saw what this dude was doing, I absolutely cringed😂

[@Ravitas3]

​@@fireblitz3438 Personally, I use it as a means of aggression and it works perfectly. His biggest problem is that he doesn't take advantage of his normal form at all.(And have some sus position) Ramattra's shield, primary fire and E are good tools to do damage and allow youself to set up an aggression in Nemesis form. In fact, if you put youself into good position, you never have to block, because you probably won't sit infront of a dmg boosted Bastion

[@Sac-chan]

​@@Ravitas3 you can punish a lucio/phara/mercy with your void ability or whatever that sucky thing is called, and then pop Nemesis form and kill them, it works really well

I recently got back into the game, haven't played since pretty much the release of OW1. I got gunned down by Bastion once and my immediate thought was "alright, don't be in Bastion's line of sight when he does that." These players get gunned down multiple times and blame their healer no wonder they're in bronze 😂

[@Mew54152]

Hi Kiriko friend! I was once a bronze support player, and I remember playing new to the game, even 6 months in and such. One thing Emongg is really focusing on is that you’re playing too far back, and if you’re anything like I was, you’re playing timidly bc you’re afraid of dying and not adding value from your respawn time. I promise you, you’ll get more value from playing closer and dying every once in a while than playing so far back that your healing isn’t even in range. One thing about kirikos healing is the papers are yellow when they’re within range of healing your target, and blue for when you’re too far and they wont do anything. If you notice they’re blue, get closer! Once again, I know you’re timid and not wanting to die, but that’s what your team is for, your Moira is doing a good job at healing the frontline, and while I’m not saying go frontline, definitely play close back line, or better yet on a cross high ground, so you’ll have an easy escape! Great thing about kiriko is her escapability! You have teleport up every 5-6 secs (can’t remember the exact off the top of my head and too lazy to look it up), when in an opportune time and your tank is pushing, you can teleport to them or better yet walk, and not necessarily push with them, but teleport, or walk, hang back a lil and escape when needed to. And in the rank you’re playing in rn, the enemy team doesn’t know when or really how to punish out of position players so you have more to work with right now to see what works for you! I’ve only really started watching Emongg in the past few months, but one thing he commonly says in bronze games, is don’t play off your cooldowns, don’t be constantly using your abilities. You may be a little hypersensitive towards your cooldowns, not wanting to play off your cooldowns, and knowing the right time to use them. But teleport is one thing you want to use as much as possible in the right moments when you see them. And you may not know the right moments yet, but you’re in bronze, take the time to learn what moments and plays are right for you! I don’t say bronze in terms of derogatory btw, I mean you’re not getting tossed into the deep end into diamond and up and are expected to know everything and anything yet. You’re learning! And as long as you have the willingness and the capacity to learn what works for you, do it! I’m diamond/master, and I’m still learning! That said, your tank was a dumbass 99% of this game. And I’m guessing he’s used to overly aggressive kirikos. Don’t worry about his dumbass, you’re doing ok. So play a lot more forward! Again great thing about kiriko is her survivability and means to escape. A timid way in the back line kiriko does less than a 5-6 deaths kiriko within the fights. (Most of the time, just don’t solely dps w all this power you just got 😂) you’re doing great sweetie!

[@RottenCopper]

As someone who just started to play kiriko, thank you for the advice!

[@cardescomedioses3674]

Yeah, i alternate between kiriko and anna, and a good way to use kiriko dps potential after learning to use anna is alternating between healing allies right behind them and shoot kunais trought them, even if you don't hit them it is a good headshot threat to wear off opponents while your tank recovers cooldowns and you can use the zuzu to win time

[@ace_7901]

This kiri was definitely playing like an ana haha 😅. Kiriko has a lot more to lose from playing back than ana, especially with kiri’s projectile travel time being balanced by added survivability.

[@JarcoreMosh]

That's what I thought lmao

[@InfernoSpike]

Maybe their playing Kiriko instead of Ana because aim issues or the skin

[@Dsi303]

Funnily enough I tried out playing Ana as a Kiriko main and I found myself playing to close up.

[@KhotaMaz]

I realised the reason why is their aim. Like when they missed 10 full papers on the Pharah when she was a foot in front of them, causing their Moira to waste healing orb. Or like when they were in the grav. Good positioning, but rly bad aim, but when they're further their aim is good, but it's just much less usefull

[@justcallmexen]

This might have been a good way to play Lifeweaver or Ana. Playing cover from farther away and bursting heals when you peek your allies (or they "peek" you). But Kiriko's papers don't bounce off terrain like blossom does. If the target leaves LOS before they get the oncoming heals, the ofuda will home directly at their location, hit the wall, and do nothing. You can't pre-heal in anticipation of allies coming around corners without getting the green "dumb-fire" papers. But the tank needed to learn when not to just be a fatter DPS.

[@fireblitz3438]

The tank in general needs to learn what engagements look like and what positions should he take in order to take full potential of the characters. I cringed extremely hard seeing this guys gameplay that it reminded me of my friend’s gameplay on tank and he says he’s quote on quote “good”

[@Real_MisterSir]

its not a good way to play with any hero, it only builds bad habits that you will have to spend even more effort to rid yourself of later down the line. Ana 'can' make use of long sight lines and safe positions, but Ana's kit has most of its utility potential enabled by an active and dynamic playstyle where you don't just sit afk in the backline spamming heals. At most you'll hit silver or low gold with good aim, but thats about it. This playstyle in general for any support is just bad, period.

[@sthepcorms6747]

@@Real_MisterSir Not really, it really depends on the map and the composition of your team Sometimes, you NEED to play like that with Ana or Lifeweaver, if you don't believe me just watch people playing Ana on this exactly map at GM

[@Real_MisterSir]

@@sthepcorms6747 it really doesn't depend on the map, your rotations need to be fluid and value-seeking constantly if you want to actually play the hero to the limits her kit allows. Otherwise you're just wasting her potential through safe but passive play. Even GM players I coach have had a moment of realization once they see the value they leave on the table due to their positioning - it's mostly in top 50 consistent and contenders+ that you see Ana players truly adopt the full extend of her kit. And the earlier you start building those good habits, the better. If you don't, you will just have to overcompensate in other aspects, some of which build bad habits that maybe work in certain ranks but not others, and that's often why people plateau because the force feedback loop of poor decisions not carrying immediate negative impact that is easily observable unless you know what to look for.

[@nemebliss]

Perfect example of the common support experience. Team overextends and feeds and types "heal diff" in match chat because it's easier to blame your supports instead of trying to see if they could have done something better

[@Baxocj]

im a high rank support player this player, was definetly a factor for the lost. a lot of wasted cleanses and a lot of missed out clense opportunity, all deriving from the fact that they played miles off and dont actually support their team - edited note: im not defending their tank here. i dont want it to come off that way. their tank was absolutely atrocious, i would be going Bap just to save his ass. but at least he's aggressive, so hes not the absolute worst I've seen. but of course, they are rather low rank, so its to be expected. my point to you is that, coming FROM a support player that has recievied a LOT of blame in the past, supports are not immune to being the reason for a loss that said, should you be toxic? no, never should you ever be toxic. this is classic sun tzu philosophy for keeping your army happy. but to say this is a "classic support experiance" i would say is inaccurate. for one, you are suggesting that they weren't the reason for the loss, when they missed out on so many opportunities to save their tank. and while there were moments their team over extended, there were plenty, if not more times, where the team pushed up appropriatly, but our Kiriko friend just wasnt in the fight at all, they were just at home playing sims and throwing a heal every now and then. additionally, every single role gets blame for losses at different points. "tank diff" "rein diff" "dps diff" ive heared it all hundreds of times. so i wouldnt say "classic support experiance" when the whole thing is just full of mistakes from the very start and the person at fault is a big factor for the loss. Again, im going to reiterate, in case you missed it the first time i said it, should you be toxic? no, never. there are definetly better ways to approach a problem player such as our kiriko. im just making the point that she did have a lot of issues and her toxic teamate shouldnt just be summed up to "classic support experiance"

[@DemiCape]

@@BaxocjI think the tank not avoiding the damn easy to avoid bastion ult and feeding 1v5 was more the problem than this support here.

OF COURSE NOT.... again in case you didnt read taht OF COURSE NOT OF COURSE NOT OF COURSE NOT did you get the message yet? OF COURSE NOT but they are often overempathized with and not given proper advice as to what they could have done better, they are portrayed as playing perfectly like they themselves did nothing wrong. as staed in my original comment being toxic is never ascceptable, its more of a throw to the game than actually throwing the game, because being toxic ruins the mindset of everybody on the team, which is exactly how any genneral loses a war, just as stasted in Sun Tzu art of war "the general who treats his military hapy and fair and keeps them well fed will see more victory than the general who keeps their military tired weary and sad" so no, before you overthink this and say "you shouldnt be toxic tho, and that tank was toxic" or some shit like that. im not saying that either re read my comment i dont wanna come back here i just woke up, im making eggs

Hello Kiriko in the video! One thing I learned when playing in Bronze/Silv as Kiriko is how slllLOOOOW the ofuda travel time can feels, and it's slower when you're playing from too far back. dw I get that you're trying to avoid unnecessarily taking damage, but playing a bit closer and aggressively can help. Get comfy with playing closer to your team and keep an eye out for tp-escape-teammate-target just in case anything goes wrong when playing aggressively.

[@dumpy8312]

It's not that the Kiri wasn't healing, in fact she was throwing so much paper I'm surprised she ever had to reload kunai. The issue is she's trying to heal from a different time zone lmao. That and well the tank didn't realize that being healed doesn't make you invincible

The only advice I would add to what Emongg said is that high ground is a great advantage and it's super easy to get it with Kiri's passive. I only saw the player use her passive a few times and I wasn't sure it was on purpose.

[@trvpnest]

i was starting to think the player didn't know about kirikos passive because they didn't wall climb once until the end lol

[@josewolf9884]

Just in case Pecan reads this, if you like the backline safe support style you may feel confortable playing lifeweaver. His proyectiles travel faster and are easier to land and you may save a teammate here and there with pull. You would just have to become familiar with petal platform and you will be good to go!

[@otakuforever3878]

As a support main, I advise this Kiriko to not be scared to play the game. Try to use your utility more often but when needed so you can be able to get out of sticky situations. Don't healbot, use your kunais when teammates are at full health so you can help with the dmg and maybe get a kill or two. Also as Emongg said, don't play so far back as Kiriko, you need to be more with your team because when they need help on the point and you are in your spawn, you won't be able to help them. Your decision making is also kinda.. I don't know... Random? While I watched the video, I felt like you were thinking to yourself "do I heal, do I dmg, should I suzu here or maybe tp there", don't think so much, in lower ranks you don't need to make big decisions, just play and have fun, you will eventually learn what to do when and what not to do. If you feel more comfortable playing far back tho, I recommend you try Ana or Zen, even tho Zen is harder to stay alive with if you don't have teammates to peel for you. Sorry for my English and sorry for the long rant. Lol

[@luckyfrog3575]

Look like they should play Ana or Zen if they staying this far back 😅.

Idk, zen is projectile so i always play pretty far up

[@valti223]

if u stay back with ana u will die within in 1 microsecond (if the enemy has flankers that can walk and shoot at the same time)

[@ukyori]

also, kiriko isnt just a healer, she has her kunais, use them. they do immaculate damage to small support or dps if you hit your shots, what im seeing if that this kiriko is mostly heal botting , and though ur keeping ur team alive, you can also help by using ur kunais to get a squishy ana for example if shes alone or far back in their backline

[@ElBadVibes]

11:15 lmaaoooo i can relate to that window window on highnoon is useless, but window on cassady besides that is pretty sick

[@slnvla]

I think most of this was just by chance honestly, sometimes where kirko tried to heal the tank while he was fighting bastion, everyone else was in the way and they couldn't, and also in the beginning mercy was mostly on the tank so kirko probably didn't feel a strong need to heal him (low priority) and then some times yea they couldve saved the tank but its bronze u live and u learn

[@jenius00]

Did they wall climb once? They could play more confidently further forward if they were more confident in being able to escape vertically and also use climb to heal from a position outside the main line of fire.

[@wubzt3r]

You should have kills. Don't listen to criticism from low rank players, they're low rank for a reason. Damage IS healing. Pressure on the enemy team means less damage taken, kills mean less damage taken, the best healing is preventing the damage to begin with. Most people understand this concept with Lucio speed boost but for some reason nobody seems to understand how it applies to DPSing on support. And that is also the biggest mistake this bronze Kiriko is making, they are healbotting when they can be doing damage.

I swear to god this Kiriko’s left hand is going “WSWSWSWSW” the entire game and it’s starting to piss me off. Your entire team is pushing and you’re strafing forward and backwards away from the cart for some reason??? Like why????

[@tylerbreau4544]

i wonder if the player struggles with awareness. Might be playing really far back because it gives them the big picture of what's going on but in reality they need to be closer up while also being aware of who is around them and their health.

[@aversemoth]

Had to check one of those bastions wasnt me a for a sec, whenever i see another bastion i have to assert dominance, it’s on sight and war commences

[@jandlerjameson]

Great video, Bingo is fun on stream but this works way better on KZbin, thanks emongg

[@AztechHydra]

As someone who plays a lot of Ram the best way to deal with bastion in my opinion is shield, weaken with staff, then Nemesis form and punch him.

[@sierraj7480]

notice that an issue i have is i play on gm tips and have lowest deaths as any role but my team doesnt play like that. i guess thats why im not going up. my question is how to climb when dealing with this nonsense? its on every role and every game and its more infurating that my last 30 games, the average rank was 5 ranks below my rank EVERY SINGLE GAME. except one. i do not have the ability to carry under-performers. why am i being judged on that. if i could get games above my rank. i could defensively play my way up, but the fact that these teammates get you to expose yourself. its pretty bad

[@sethescope]

my advice is to stop trying to play like GMs. you're not GM, your teammates aren't GM, it's not going to work. your games are going to be scuffed, your teammates are going to make scuffed plays, you're going to make scuffed plays. that's okay. what matters is figuring out how to contribute value to the teams in your ranks. let me give you an example. I'm not in GM either and I play support, so I focus on supporting the things my team is doing, even if it's not the ideal strategy or what I see streamers do. if I play Mercy, I don't necessarily hard pocket my dps 100% of the time because sometimes my tank will get more value from my resources. if I play Brig, I just focus on staying close to my other support and keeping inspire up and saving packs for teammates who are flankers. I don't go for too many off angles or flanks. I don't overcomplicate things, I focus on the basics. something that has helped me a lot has been focusing on what my team is doing instead of what they """should""" be doing. instead of worrying that my team isn't playing optimally, I just try to make sure what we do is successful. hopefully this helps even just a little bit or at least gives you something to think about. good luck!

[@DeathsAvarice]

10:03 as someone that plays Kiriko, this is a mood, happens EVERY time it feels like.

[@no_i_dont_want_no_slugs]

obviously this tank needs to learn to not walk up to turreted bastions and to use cover, but as someone who's only plat, I love when I have an super aggressive tank and I'm on kiriko. i go in with them (and usually another dps) and we just chase down the enemy since they're not expecting such hyper-aggression. and if it all goes wrong, i just tp out. but usually on push or hybrid maps (on attack) we just create a crazy temp and roll, and the poor enemy team is left just trying to react and pick up the pieces.

[@TartanOfficial]

Personal opinion from my own Kiriko experience is Kiriko is meant for rushing. Stay up front with your team. Swift step is an escape or to heal a critical teammate using suzu. Wall climbing also a good escape. Don’t always DPS after Kitsune Rush. I personally play Kiriko pretty aggressively and tend to be pretty decent with both damage and healing. But everyone has there own play style so play her how you’d like :)

[@christopherb6585]

Bro I’ve played with pecan. He is a bronze? He was in a gold lobby. I’m a bronze 5 console player btw. My brother was gold 1 and on pc.

[@dutifulbarrel9084]

You can have multiple people with the same name on ow

[@multiplexgraph]

This Kiriko really needs to just hold W. Why is she constantly walking further away when healing. I am surprised with how patient Emongg is being with them, I could never. I would just be basically repeating hold W the entire video if I was doing this VOD review.

[@moongirl208]

if people saw my kiri gameplay it would be so humiliating i stay missing suzu AND kunai

[@thegravestonelibrary]

When I play Kiriko I like to play back too. It gives me more distance from a flanker if I get jumped, because if I'm already on my team's heels, where am I going to go? And yeah the heals take longer to travel, but if you are mostly heal botting I feel it doesn't matter so much because they have a constant stream of heals either way. The slow heal travel speed is balanced by all the times they took damage and heals were already on the way and they got healed back up almost instantly.

[@Arrow333]

This is how my Kiriko gameplay looks like sometimes as well. It is more "predictive healing" involved, but it can go wrong if you just mispredict. So I will take the advice for my self and try to get closer. Still the long distance heals - even though they have travel time - help healing my teams flankers when they are deep in or take different routes as long as I can get LOS sometimes.

[@kcnoel5270]

Last night I had a game where one rando support would hardly heal. They healed more on zen than they did on baptiste because he was just being a dps. Zen can work if played right, but this guy was playing zen like widow. Sitting in our extreme backline and sometimes throwing his heal orb on me. But when he switched to bap he literally did nothing but damage and made a window for him and him alone. And despite doing nothing but damage, he got like, two kills by the end of the game. THATS what throwing looks like as support. Thankfully this was just in quick play. I would have reported him if it was comp

[@ZaWrldo]

Main takeaway for Mr bronze, don't be afraid to be more aggressive but over time you'll learn the timing when you should be

[@Anthony-pi6pf]

I think that Kirk needs to turn his sensitivity up a bit. He can’t even keep up with his own teammates movements.

[@button9]

This is 50% of my support games. The tank having no clue what to counter with and going where they shouldn’t. Then they get mad, go dva , then fly to high ground and wave hello to the enemy.

[@hetstandaardkanaal7167]

Why is no one talking about the absolute heal bot, like how you play like that

[@DemiCape]

This reminds me of some other teamate that was feeding the enemy spawn and complained he got no healing from support.

[@IzThatit]

16:50 - Did the sig just swap to Orisa to counter the Zarya...

[@no_i_dont_want_no_slugs]

i think of bap window like soldier ult: soldier ult helps soldier, bap ult helps bap lol

[@yipipool4943]

this why i dont like playing kiriko sometimes, they just dont use the kitsune rush

[@account-pb2df]

That Ram is basically every Rein play with

[@kurniaprimaputra1313]

Got Accused by of NOT Healing? my response in OW2 would be, "stats don't lie"

[@rsiloliveira]

My man didn't wall climb once during the whole match. I don't think he even knows he have it

[@spycfaib]

day in the life as a support main: someone like this ram always bitching about not getting healed 😭

[@jare3459]

let's look at the facts in their defenses if they not healing. 1. Healers are easy pray for flankers (since you know 5v5 means no tank to cover the support) 2. Most healers used for supporting DPS damage 3. Support is the only one that doesn't take hours to find a game. (Overall I don't judge healers who go full DPS mode and stop healing because blizzard made it clear you have hate playing support) (I used be support but swap to 5v5 made it so I cannot enjoy being support anymore)

[@sethescope]

the whole point of the video is that they were healing - and healing too much and from too far away. I'm sorry this has been your experience. personally, I love playing support more in 5v5. it's more aggressive! but it's okay not to like the 5v5 experience, everyone is different and we're all allowed to have preferences.

[@alexisking1431]

This was so painful to watch haha

[@ChrisMowers]

yeah i learned to use bap ult for me when i play bap. no one uses it, so screw it ill take advantage of it. i swear people think its a curse or something

[@claudiuspulcher2440]

and this is much better than spending half the video playing with a bingo card lol

[@wraithxrl]

13:25 bro is healing from spawn

[@praetorianplays]

I had a tank last night (plat) and at 1:22, that's what my tank did ALL GAME. Just rushed in 1v5 and then claimed healer diff at the end haha too funny bro

[@sj_milk_]

Accused of not healing 😳 she's a f heal BOT!!!! As a kiriko main this is PAIN

[@Sue-vu1pk]

Literally get accused of not healing almost every time I play support. Just because I cannot save someone standing right in 4 enemies. Like give us a break 💀

[@GhostA1fourU]

I will say yes the tank was horrendous with his team the kiriko wasn’t even trying to damage people kiriko has a insane damage potential and she’s just wasting it and she wasn’t using High ground either her whole team wasn’t so it’s everyone’s fault on that team only people doing something in kirikos team were like bastion and Moira

[@partymustdie]

why is she healbotting full teammates oh god no 😭

[@rhythmsystem]

I'm no longer playing overwatch due to the PvE cancelation, however these video's will always be a comfort thing.

[@kolkonut]

Same fr

[@JJ-rp3ny]

tanks blaming their sups for not healing is probably the dumbest thing in the game. Played against a doomfist today, guy had a GOOD mechanical skill, practically rolled us up to the third point where it just fell apart because he thought chilling at our spawn is a great idea. After dying he types in general "thanks for our supports not healing", made me cringe so hard

[@RandomEevee]

Agreed. Some of them also need to understand that some characters such as Zen, Lucio and Mercy won't have high heal numbers because of a focus on utility.

[@Crisom6]

See I love these tips, so I was playing this map yesterday and it was my last one before I get my first ever rank and I got gold 4 since the pink mercy was awesome and my whole team came to the win even if the other team was better

[@im_snoopyrs8947]

man i wanna play the new bronze game mode of 4v4 + 1v1

[@obiwanshinobi2177]

Everytime I play as kiriko my team forgets I need line of sight to give heals.
