[@Hi-yf1oc]

the enimey teams ana and moira both sucked because they only did damage instead of healing there team and I feel sorry for Mikrocheuk there tank because he did not get healed what so ever and if he did get healed it would be very very little healing which makes Mikrocheuk die and the reason why that team lost completely and it was funny with ana part. XD

As a bronze who enjoys playing Ana... that hurt. I've missed plenty of darts and nades, but none that bad. Yet.

Bruh, starting at 17:47 this dude managed to cancel reload 2 times by a healing station and a helix rocket and then finally actually reloads 5 seconds later. How. Just how.

[@thomajay]

If my own experience is any clue, I'm guessing copious amounts of marijawana

[@TheToastedGoblin]

Inputs arent on screen, controller player maybe? I do it sometimes by accident,

[@Ahilliard44]

honestly this was teh best part of the vid for me. Two times in a row, reload cancel but can't hit shots consistently if you held a gun to his head. The contrast between these too really got me good. And my first thought was that he's using controller. Haven't had anyone confirm or deny so i don't know. Looks like controller to me

[@bindi123pepper123]

I’m in plat and I cancel my roadhog reload all the time :(

[@mikalokasso]

The math talk is also needed to low elo tanks. Dude will swing into 800 damage per second, instantly die, then complain about healing. There’s no healing in the world that would save you from that.

[@buttsmcgee50]

I was just dealing with that, getting bitched at for not healing to a hog that was running out of line of sight and dying for using breather

Math is my strongsuit, but the problem is, Im new to the game so I have no idea what character does 800 dps and shocked that this exists Unless you mean multiple characters shooting at the same target

@@Jon-rv9oh depends on if they see it or not. If they’re not looking at something they forget that it exists

[@tehfiredog]

Part way in I was already paying much more attention to the Moira, so the focus on her was amusing. There was a fatal flaw in her DPSing though... "I'm just going to leave the healing to my other healer" doesn't work well when your other healer can't hit a point-blank sleep dart or a nade!

@@thomajay he’s right though

[@karamei]

Flats is like "this isn't educational content" and then turns into a math teacher :) But it's legit a good point. Over reliance on healing station vs underuse of helix rocket. "Play to win, don't play not to lose." Maybe the soldier doesn't realize how much of a delay he is causing before shooting again. This guy isn't as bad as I expected when I heard 700 sr, but he needs to use helix more. Using highground is a big step in the right direction for sure. Target priority is important, focus squishies.

[@VANhasVOICE]

For that little moment at 9:54... I fucking held my fingers crossed to see the dude being pushed into Sigma's ult by payload, that would be most hilarious death of the year...

[@mattmasher6699]

This whole video was gold. The thumbnail, the title, the Ana missing sleep dart at melee range, the lack of Helix Rockets AND 35 hp/s vs 120 dmg/s maths. Math was the real enemy here, followed by the flanking Moira and the Genji in his face lmaaooooo hahahahaha

[@EmmieHunny]

Honestly even watching these back I can’t hear the sounds of Moira’s attack from behind. I only know it’s happening when I hear my character gasp. It’s a weak point of mine, I know, but I can understand this player not being able to tell it’s happening either.

Hyperfocus sometimes, or the opposite. Like the first point defense with the 1v1 on the genji. Genji was low and he gave up and went to go back and shoot at the rest of the team and not secure the kill. The duality of man
