I think the problem with Mercy is that her boosted damage value isn't shown on the stats screen for other players. That screen is what Tiktok players care for the most. They look at the stats and think: "Oh, she only healed and did nothing else", completely ignoring damage boost and revives.

That was what made having a mercy in gold when climbing so painful. No matter how nice you ask for a damage boost mercy players freak the fuck out and shart screaming about their healing and how you should be able to kill without a pocket...

"If I was blind, and I wanted to know what something looked like, I wouldn't ask another blind person." I really like that analogy.

[@kirillnezhentsev7700]

If I were blind, and I wanted to know what something looked like, I'd prefer to have an opinion of a person who had gone blind. They would have better chance to know what to relate, and in what terms to explain. OW2 coaching has lots of the issue. See the "educational" placement to gm vids aplenty, people are singing along to their own current mechanical actions, situational obscure hints and advice like "use aim trainer." It's omnipresent though. There are math problem youtube videos where creators narrate the railroad solution of application of theorems, formulas and substitutions without ever doubting a student getting the clarity moment-out of the blue-to press that right direction at the right time.

I disagree with the point he's making though. VOD review is something any player can do with their own games and can find things they can improve. It's a great way to get better at the game if you're not sure what went wrong.

[@Beanpolr]

@@samhhhhh The problem is if you're low rank, and the person giving tips is also low rank, they're less likely to give good advice or even spot certain mistakes, because they might be making them too. And while it isn't a horrible idea, reviewing your own gameplay does mean you might not catch some things that a fresh pair of eyes would, and again if you're low rank you might be going about things all wrong and not know it.

The reason Brig is "so bad" is because you really only play her when you're getting dove. There are so few supports to play that not being able to play her unless the right conditions are met makes her feel a million times worse, even if she is technically not a weak character.

[@Ontarianmm]

The basic issue with Brig is she was out of meta. I think Ramattra will change that.

[@bluejay7058]

@@Ontarianmm I think the issue with this statement is that Ramattra's neutral without committing to an engage is amazing, even in Nemesis (block being amazing, fists have massive range, extra armor, move speed, etc.). Unfortunately, she really is only anti-dive, and Ramattra can just win without diving (he's very good at it though)

[@darthplagueis13]

@@Ontarianmm Well, but she wasn't out of meta because her kit simply didn't fit, but because it really didn't stick the landing for OW2. Lucio does almost anything she does, but better. Sure, he can't heal a single target quite as quickly, but you are gonna be running Lucio alongside something like a Kiriko, Bap, Ana or Moira anyways who will compensate for it. The only thing Brig really has going for herself is her shield and it's nowhere as good as it used to be.

That's not totally true. I can appreciate the sentiment; Bap, Brig, Lucio, and Moira can heal multiple people at the same time with all of their healing abilities, but Ana and Kiriko both have an AoE heal, and Kiriko can technically heal multiple people with her primary at a time, it just splits the healing rather than giving everyone the full amount.

[@vaioretto-chanjade5810]

nothing is stopping you from switching healing targets fast, even then valk has the second highest sustained aoe healing in the game behind transcendence and its not like mercy's value comes out of healing multiple people at a time She's good at focusing or pocketing single targets, das her whole thing

[@furretx8384]

As a TF2 Player, I can agree with the fact that it is hard to get into the higher levels of a new game you play, especially when you have been mostly playing a different game. Like, I have played Team Fortress 2 for about 2000 hours, and could play Medic pretty well. But once I went over to Overwatch, support became very hard to play. My job was no longer as simple as “Heal big guy, heal other people when they are very low, and then use Ubercharge (invincibility) or Kritzcharge (damage buff) as soon as possible. It became “Use your damage output and utility to aid your team while also keeping them alive by healing.” I honestly debated not playing Overwatch anymore after playing a bit, but I sticked with it and am now a Jack of all trades, being able to play Overwatch decently as Tank and Support, while still being able to fluently play Team Fortress 2.

[@jaqwinters1951]

Definitely helps to listen to your rants about ranking. I've recently only gotten into gold, and I'm trying to improve myself to muscle my way into Plat and so on. A single person going beyond the threshold means a lot on game

I have been playing quite a bit of Brig lately in quick play cuz i like the style of the hero, and i gotta admit, she is incredibly fun and rewarding

[@Ram3w]

I was in a bronze match playing Lucio last night and I'm working on getting the mechanics down better. Tried to use speed boost as much as possible, with occasional heals, got ripped a new one pretty much the whole game by my team. We stop their payload a bit short so on our turn, it's just cap 3 points. My team gets stuck and everyone just starts cussing at each other. I said fuck it, and just ran damage Lucio......we won, you can absolutely muscle through bronze 😂

[@soaringaegis]

Speed can be tough in bronze. Engage timing in general is tough in bronze. Either your teammates are too passive or they yeet in without resources and feed. You really do have to focus on the individual offensive part of your kit in the lower ranks, because putting a multiplier on 0 is still 0.

[@luislagss]

Dw your aren't the problem. Those bronze players don't have the fundamental understanding of the game. Lucio isn't good for heals unless you're just poking and not moving. But speed is broken in any team also if u play with a group just run the "rush" comp on attack. Your friends will see why Lucio is so good and be praising u like you're the next coming. (And If u don't know the "rush" comp just reply back lol)

[@dazey856]

@@Sizzyl nah I’d go bap, dps bap goes so hard in low elo

The problem with playing Lucio low ranked (I'm High Silver-Low Gold) is that you need good coms with ur team. Also, many people think you should just heal, since you are a support, and get mad because you "have the fewer healing of the entire lobby" while they are playing Sniper Reaper

[@Ram3w]

@@Sizzyl I do struggle with the wall ride but I have a move on payload maps where I can skate around and over the payload.... pretty much anyone who's consistently killed me pulling that, has admitted to be a side account for a higher ranked player or they flip to a character that requires no aim.

[@devdog7409]

They are not always the priority. Keep in mind they have a passive self healing so you should only heal/help them if they are really low, about to take a lot of damage, or there is nothing better to do. If they are not in danger then there is no need to prioritize them over your dying tank or dps. Definitely pick them over a dps if you have to unless there is a good reason (fight winning ult, dps is popping off, etc.). Context matters a lot when decisions are made.

[@leinadlink]

I really think the underlying issue with brig, is that you really don't have any feedback for your inspire passive. Lucio and other aura supports have a more visible effect on how long their aura lasts and how many people it affects. Whereas inspire... You don't even know when it's going to expire, even if the only thing that matters is that people are in range when you hit someone. I think people fail to understand just how much healing and value brig brings to the table, because there's really not that much feedback, there's not even an audio cue for healing with inspire (unless it heals yourself)

Don't like that "blind leading the blind" analogy with the silvers reviewing each other. If you wanted the silver to review his own gameplay, it would be equally beneficial or even more since it's a different perspective, if another silver were to review it. Just because their silver doesn't mean they won't catch macro mistakes in retrospect. It's more like two dumb kids helping each other with homework. They aren't completely unable to help, two people together are still worth something.

[@Cryoptic_]

its over exaggerating yes, but it makes the point clear. u shouldnt be asking someone equally bad on tips to improve generally. obv, share info u have. but u cant rly coach eachother if ur both silver. u can on the other hand work together for sure. thing is, in the case of a game review... its a good chance the other silver wont understand what the fck is going on. something they think is a mistake might not be one. and the biggest issue, they arent smart enough to see some mistakes. if they were, they would rank up. extremely few low elo players understand positioning and space, along with tempo. mistakes in these categories are crucial to fix, and is unlikely to be spotted by ur silver friend. dont waste ur time. look at uw own stuff sometimes, catch the super obvious ones, then move on and spend ur time better

@@ccricers this is literally me LMAO. I actually lose in dps duels with golds and silvers but I solo climbed to masters on support. How? Positioning, staying alive, and hitting the shots that mattered. I have tons of friends who are kinda stuck in diamond/plat because they end up getting lost in the teamfight and accidentally put themselves in bad positions and thus they die. Also, ability timing and cooldown management. As well as ult tracking and even ability tracking. A content creator you can check out it Fitzy! He’s an awesome sombra player and he’s all brain no aim. He plays in GM just like Flats and the gang too :)

"And not just 1 or 2 heroes" Im forcing rein and you cant stop me.

[@gothsinn23]

Watching TikToks like these gives me some hope that I'll claw my way out of Bronze some day, because I can recognize the hypocrisies and mistakes the person in the video is making/the details they're missing and hearing Flats point those things out immediately after. My biggest issue is that I'm still figuring out what mouse sensitivity I should play with and trying to untrain how tight my wrist is while playing and how hard I flick (overflick, tbh) when I'm shooting. It's like my body overcompensates for what I tell it to do and it's this dumb muscle memory thing I need to unlearn. But if all these key parts of game sense make sense to me then, when I learn how to aim better, maybe there's hope for me yet? 😭😭

[@adarshvinodkumar6333]

Keep on practicing those mechanics! You can do it! Also, there are videos to help you find your OW sens so I recommend checking those out 👍🏿

[@unixerse297]

You got this! I also struggle with aim alot, and i learn the hard way. I'm a support Ana main, and ana is all about aim so thats gets me practicing

[@spark2841]

As an ana/ kiriko main the guy who was saying he hit a clip physically and mentally hurt me. I used to be really bad in overwatch 1 so I placed bronze, and I thought that elo hell was real but now that I have gotten a bit better I have climbed to gold in 2 days. ( btw I am casual pls don't go off on me for being bad an how you can climb faster)

[@ihassquidhatt5219]

You can DEFFINETLY just force ranks with mechanics. got diamond on my dps only kiriko acnt when i was just trying to aim train. hope i can continue to masters soon

[@AlbaDHattington]

Brigg needs some type of heal range circle indicator for new player just like Lucio or brig's rally

[@stupidmonkey151]

Escape from Tarkov is ridiculous. But I came from it to Overwatch, and I will say they pose unique challenges. Tarkov is much slower with much more emphasis on individual survival. You can sometimes go whole "games" (raids) without encountering a single player. The weapons/equipment system is a large learning curve. The amount of functions makes the game mechanically hard to learn, but for completely different reasons to Overwatch. Overwatch being my first objective based hero shooter, it has been another learning curve. Team play like in no other shooter I've played, learning all of the abilities, the healing aspect and movements of certain heros. It's a challenge in it's own right.

[@MNB730]

Yep, agree very much about muscling your way out from low ranks, got the shitty end of the stick when role queue was introduced and I got 1161 on support, quit and when I returned at the last few months of OW1, I just played Zen, Baptiste, and Lucio and got me into gold in several days. It wasn't easy, didn't win a lot sure and the amount of people not self aware of their mistakes could fit into a binder, but it's possible 100%. The amount of charging Reinhardts, diving Winstons, and that one Soldier that just made the enemy tank an ult battery for their supports while somehow having a silver healing(he was bragging about it too much) on King's Row that always blames others...I'm not the perfect support but my god, I can see why people call it ELO hell, still possible to just outgun the enemy but man, people's ego and their lack of self awareness could fool me for a MadTV skit.

“I hate egos” -two seconds later- “silvers are like blind people”

[@rossjones8656]

The part with support is so important.

[@zakaryrichmond396]

This is my first time hearing that brings Inspire range is so big now I genuinely don't feel like I have to be in the front line to keep people alive

[@SaltyGator-q1x]

I had a drunk doomfist player on my team last night; so that was fun to deal with.

[@robastergaming6074]

"her rez is so slow" Well it's faster than walking, isn't it?

[@DarukaEon]

Ever since I heard this bgm in these videos, I can't help listening to it whenever I play Overwatch nowadays. 🤣

[@DarukaEon]

Also, do be fair, Mercy is pretty bland. That is not saying that she's not a viable pick for support. Just super boring, to me.

[@DarkSkinDoffy]

Flats described exactly how I used to play Brig when I first started playing Support last season 😭

[@alucards_wife]

"Mercy is the worst support!" Proceeds to not explain her kit correctly..

[@lordofbabies3586]

Love these because I absolutely refuse to use TikTok. "you ever play escape from tarkov?" too true, you have to literally study to have a chance for Tarkie to be fun. I'd actually love to watch you and Emongg try some Tark. It's wiping within a few days so it's a great time to do so... Regardless, keep up the great content.

[@MTerry44718]

Mercy as "the worst sup" made me cry. Legit, missing out on damage boost is top tier stupid. I was struggling in silver with mercy, as the DPS players being boosted doesn't really matter if they can't hit shots, but I can't hit them either, which is why I play mercy. Self burn.

[@ak11yanora]

i beg you. make a playlist for your videos/streams with at least 5 different songs. my head literally explodes whenever i hear this melody

[@Tetragramix]

"What is that melody!?"

[@GamerFollower]

I was gold support first season, and now it wont let me past silver 2, and I had 3 rank ups in a row, lost barely any games, and healing out the ass :(

[@jarrahcook8124]

We haven't consistently had Brig and Lucio played together since GOATs
