[@xdidact6911]

His positioning and timing are ok for the rank he is currently. My advice would be don't take a fight when one down. Try and have Los to min 1 Support. And hug corners more espacially when against Zen. If he puts discord on you wait behind the corner, you cannot be pushing into the enemy team while discorded it's too costly for your team and they cannot sustain you.

[@Frallicus]

I gotta say one of the biggest issues I noticed for round one that wasnt player wise is your team comp, the team goes from being in the middle of wanting to either be a brawl or poke comp, to the moment you swap to doom there is no synergy, your supports look more poke forward, youre playing a dive tank, and your dps are looking more for a brawl Now as for round 2, the team looks a lot more balanced with equal commitment to poke as much as a brawl so it works out a lot more compared to the first, and despite the swaps the comp seems to have a 2 battle focused comp so it works slightly better (despite the fact your teammates forgot widow was in play)

[@LazerDisk]

I don’t think an entire team should have to play around a widow. Bad game design.

[@simbadg13]

8:30 masters all roles here. thats not a point for your ana. She is a bit too close but has the cart as cover and youre there too. It is a point for ashe. Even if your ana was further back she doesnt have the best los on ashe to keep her up. Also ana needs to focus more on healing you and looking for potential nades/sleeps as its more important. Ashe has an amazing angle but since her aim and reactions are shite it doesnt matter. She easily had a chance to get an elim on soj or drop down to get healed after wiffing 4 shots. A better ashe would take that angle and get the soj or at the very least damage her enough to have soj retreat and not just jump up to her to duel her and win

[@Ross516]

Yeah, while supports need to be aware of their team, I equally think the team needs to be aware of their support and *how* they heal.

[@simbadg13]

@Ross516 exactly once ashe started taking damage she should've realized she probably won't win and needs to drop to get heals so even if sojourn pushes she can be potentially helped or in a safer spot instead of ego dueling and losing

I like how the Mercy/Ana/Kiriko player doesn't have a censored name because he knows no one will get mad at them. 13:10 in this section of the video you can see the frustration in her movements as she is healing teammates while waiting out the Widowmaker ult, all while watching people wander out of the room and get picked.

​@@r.9006​No that was a bad play by Ana. Ashe went high ground assuming she was gonna get healing from the Ana cause she was in the LoS.

@@oponentgull186others4he should have gotten off sig, he complains widow is farming but takes too long to get off sig to contest her

[@fewry-_-7394]

I'll note out your biggest mistakes. Biggest one is not swapping off Orisa with an Illari Mercy support comp. Before I continue tho I want to emphasize this is moreso not to say you threw the game, but how you could have made a big difference despite your team also clearly feeding XD. 2:15 you at least recognize that you go deep but there are multiple things you didn't account for, and you went too deep regardless. You pathed to the opposite end of the cart so even if you had an Ana or a Bap, they would have a very hard time keeping you up as you completely LOS them if they followed you in. Considering you had Illari, who is a close range healer, you should also recognize that Pylon would not be a reliable source of healing for you and in order for Illari to heal you, she would have to go in much deeper than she would be safe to do so when the enemy team has an Ashe, Sojourn and Sigma. She would get blown up near instantly trying to get to you. As far as I'm concerned, with Mercy down and your team unable to take a proper off-angle to re-contest and support you, trying to touch here was guaranteed suicide and should've never been considered. 3:45 Your mercy here is throwing by not going onto your cass for his off angle. Him being down there is lowkey fine as long as he has mercy with him and you can push up while he's taking some heat. After he dies though the team should just push back and reset. Illari Mercy with no Sigma is eating through resources and you guys are getting demolished by poke. Unless you can be prepared with your team to push out and aggressively take space (a lot of coordination, which you acknowledge that your team didn't have), its gonna be a losing fight nearly every fight. Doom swap is decent here but its yet another tank that is going to struggle at getting support from an Illari Mercy support comp. 5:00 You do recognize everything in this but this also further supports why doom is only a decent pick with an Illari Mercy comp. Against their comp, it would be great if you had an Ana or even a Juno so you could get some ranged healing, but given your own support lineup, you cant survive after you get that level of value and your team doesn't get a chance to follow up with it. You likely would have survived and would have been a great play otherwise, just not the right comp to do it with. 7:25 Not a mistake, but just giving props, this comp is significantly better compared to the entire first half, however Moira swapped out with either a Mercy or Zen would've been even better. 8:00 not exactly a mistake on either player's part, just pointing out when against a hog with a double sniper comp you are gonna have to keep an eye on him and deny majority of his hook attempts. Snipers on havana get a lot of value but they still need to push into decently vulnerable positions vs. a hog, and if they don't get you to deny them, they are significantly easier to hook due to them usually being scoped. Widow could have been more aware yes, but you also could have prevented it too. 8:15 I'd like to note the enemy team and your team at this point in general. Hog is going to be playing fairly similarly to how Orisa should have been played on defense first point. Hog recognized that his resources were getting low and that your team had gotten a few picks, and was retreating. Normal retreat path is going to be to car first, and he pathed there because he had no resources and was able to get cover from your snipers while still getting healed long range from his supports (that are also long range, not an illari mercy), so he can replenish his take a breather and get a bit more health so he can survive the cross. Because of that, your team did play as well as they could've and forced them back successfully, but the hog also survived and managed to get back into a position to be able to take another fight. Hog wasn't moving to car to hold the position, but moreso to buy more time for his team to back up and also to buy himself time to get more resources to survive. 8:35 This is why mercy or zen would've been much better than a Moira. Ana's positioning isn't great no especially since your Ashe had control of high ground so she really didn't have much to fear from an off-angle, but she also would've struggled to heal the Ashe anyway. After Ashe dies, you really should have been trying to poke out the Soj as soon as you got a pick on the hog. Sig spheres go far and have a lot more explosion damage, Soj is in much the same situation your Ashe was in where she is up on high ground without LoS of a support that can heal her, you would force her out in seconds and she likely never would have gotten a pick onto your reaper. In cases like that you can either choose to throw a shield in front of her and then continue forcing back their frontline, or you throw a shield in front of their frontline and poke out the Soj. You can handle both while still contesting cart, its why Sig is such a powerful pick on havana. 9:15 From this point all the way up until widow pops walls, you were playing great. Reaper getting picked off is unfortunate but it is what it is, and pushing up where you did to lock them down was also great, you even stayed in LoS of your supports so you could sufficiently lock it down as best as you could. You are correct as well that your Ashe should have tried to back off after Widow popped walls before any of you could get info on where she is, however after Ashe got picked, you should have dedicated to a regroup. Both dps down with a widow running free and away from your attention on Havana is going to be brutal to take a fight into. Remember, getting out is better than dying if you can, as the enemy team will get less ult charge. Sig can also poke at them and farm ult while they try to chase him down. 10:50 Start using your shield more offensively especially against widow. If you can see her and poke her out, an even better way to force her to reposition is an annoying barrier right in front of her face that she can't reliably break. It will also prevent your Ana from getting one-tapped. Past that you did what you could. 12:00 You actually don't deserve a point here if I'm gonna be honest. Yes you can get more value but you still forced pretty much every escape cooldown on their team with that ultimate. That bare minimum means their backline has to play defensively and if you were able to catch a glimpse of the Dva boosting into your team, you probably could've secured a kill on her especially since the Bob is now there denying them from getting LoS on their Dva. I think you could work on giving attention to the enemy tank a bit more often. The thing with Poke is knowing when to push aggressively. Dva gets out and all of their resources are burned, but the team doesn't push in after the fact to secure anything. You guys are HEAVILY up on resources and they're running on fumes, but you give them the opportunity to recover all of that and still be alive enough to do an ultimate recontest of their own. 12:40 Swapping to Dva here isn't really the play unless your team swaps to a dive comp. Sigma is the best tank you could pick with your current comp, you could maybe dive with your moira if she knew what she was doing but you know she doesn't at this point in the game. I think a winston would've been a better alternative as you can at least dive the Widow care-free while also providing a bubble at her position to ensure she can't stay there. Your team getting spawncamped is kind of a result of this decision. Sure, they can 100% have more brains and take the other door, but you know they don't and Sigma is excellent for ensuring a safe push through a lane. He has a shield he can move forward for the push, and he has grasp that can eat all poke damage as long as they follow you like ducklings. 14:45 Your dps should've swapped to dive, but if the team coordination wasnt there in the first place, your team should still be running the sig comp with double sniper. It sucks but its better than leaving your dps behind to be easy pickings vs. a Dva when your tank and supports dive without them. That places too much pressure on them playing well, which they can't do. Great play attempt and good job on getting out after the fact when you recognized you couldn't stay. Overall, I would say you don't perform poorly, but you aren't recognizing why we play certain comps, and how to actually rank up. Your team 100% did not do great and even if you were sticking with Sig the whole time, I think there's a solid chance you still would have lost after watching the enemy team. But I think that match could have been MUCH closer, and if you can pull that off, you would win significantly more games overall and you would get less of those bad teammates. When picking a tank, keep in mind your comp unless you feel you HAVE to make a play otherwise you can't win the game, because running a solid comp minimizes how well your teammates have to play in return. If your dps are running double sniper and you decide to swap to dive, and they refuse to swap to dive characters, yes it is their fault and they threw the match, but think of it like this. If they dont swap, your dps have to now play significantly better to get the same value they could brainlessly get if they were on a dive dps in a dive comp, and if they aren't capable of doing so, they get extraordinarily low value. In solo queue, being able to ensure your team gets value wherever they can is how you can ensure more wins. Overall funny vid tho, teammates are rough man

11:31 Honestly, i wouldn't give Ana a point for swapping off with nano. Realistically, who was she going to give nano here? When nobody else has ult to follow up with nano and i just know the dps still wouldn't get anything done with it. Swapping to Kiriko to be able to help Dva more was way better than staying on Ana with no useful nano targets.

[@Ross516]

Agreed. Plus, if she stayed on Ana to find a good place to ult, that would be probably around 30 seconds to upward a minute and a half wasted. Sometimes you need to just lose the ult and swap for value

Great video, but I disagree with two of the assessments. At 5:23, Bastion was trying to take the initiative, but you drew all the attention from both healers. Bastion took damage during the attack, and if he hadn't played passively, he would have been eliminated immediately. At 10:22, you played very deep in a less-than-ideal position. This gave D.Va the opportunity to execute a flank attack. When the enemy tank attacked from behind, you decided to push forward even further. Not only did this increase the risk of dying, but you also didn’t address what was happening behind you.

[@ever611]

The Bastion part made me laugh, what was he supposed to do there? The tank immediately dived before he could enter the fight lol

[@Jagora_]

This just looks like a low elo team trying to replicate high ranked and not understanding how to play it. For example on the Orisa poke the whole point as tank is to not take resources from your dps, because you have Mercy/ Illari and double hitscan. All pressure is from your dps with a mercy pocket and Illari creating a killbox where the Orisa is setup, but all 4 were on the same angle and you on Orisa were trying to make plays when you dont have the resources to do so making your mercy leave the dps to try and help you. How it would be played in masters would be the widow rotating the windows, and pillars at the bottom, The Ashe with a mercy pocket controlling green building/ left side and Illari on the box near the Orisa with pylon set up on widow (or the ashe if the mercy is with the widow). It also never worked when you swapped comps because a similar thing was happening, like on doom you didnt play in the sightlines of your dps and even though he is a dive tank, you still need to make sure your team can apply pressure and give resources to you, because you just get discorded and fall over That is the most blatent mistake you made every time on defence, you get discorded and stay there just getting busted down for the whole fight not getting any value because your using all your cooldowns to survive the discord.

[@cw8ho]

I know this video is just for fun but i think a lot of people noticed that you concluided that "yea i threw, everybody threw, but they threw more than me". And really when we watch your plays, you made a lot of tank mistakes that deserves a point. Like a lot of time you are fighting and ignoring discord orb and then you die, that's your fault bc as a tank, as soon as you get discorded you should take cover and wait, then you have like 8 seconds free when you can push without worring about zen, supports can't heal you enough to surpass discord. Crazy that we both play in plat. I'm not gonna do a full review bc you made clear that you aren't interested into ranking up and that's fine, but i tell you this bc sometimes we are kinda selfish and can't accept the full shame.

Take control of that corner and push him in front of the garage door by using javelin, spear spin or both before hunkering down right in front of cart. You went in into a 1v4 while the Sig and his shield completely blocked you off. That is entirely on you that fight. You could have died doing what I explained right then, but if you really took control over the Sig and pushed him out of the way to give your teammates room to support you, then you would have done what you could in this fight to win it and wouldn't get a point. Unfortunately, you completely fumbled in by running in and going after squishies straight into their strong defensive position whilst your team couldn't support you due to you ignoring the enemy tank who was in a perfect position to deny Illiary to follow you and support you. I was only listening to the video up to that point, but after hearing you describe the fight, I couldn't imagine that you played it all that well. Now I took a look and saw that this was entirely your fault for going in in such a manner and expecting anything different to happen. I'm not going to blindly listen to you talking about the game and trust your judgment after seeing this.

Many people have already said it but this game is also completely your fault, you are constantly pulling the “tbf I made a small mistake” card when really youve been ignoring your large mistakes 1. You seem to have no regard to when you are discorded and rush regardless of the fact that when you are discorded not even both of your healers would be able to save you 2. You are not “making space” if the enemy tank is literally rushing your team. Look at that sigma play on stairs for example, the dva is literally on your team, you are not making any space. 3. You have no regard for peeling at all, if dva is rushing your teammates so easily then you need to do something about it.

Your DPS are trying their best but are outclassed because the matchmaker boosts them to gain engagement. The issue is that the matchmaker tries to enforce a win rate, rather than just match based on skill and ping. If the matchmaker matched based on skill, the queue times will be longer.

[@xdtyfails6497]

people call me crazy for knowing this btw. it’s pretty obvious that when the game wants you to win it’ll do everything in it’s power to force it until it’s time for loser’s queue again. and when the winner’s and loser’s queue bs ends it’s back to regular w/w/l/w/l/l matchmaking

[@lawro2876]

This exactly. The ELO matchmaking is vastly different from the old days' OW1 MMR mechanics. To rank up, even if you're incredibly good, you still need to sift through hundreds of games with a 55%-65% average winrate most of the time to rank up (unless you're actually T500 or pro or hacking then maybe you can stomp every game). Even the game balancing downplays individual carry potential like the 200 -> 250 health changes increasing TTK.

[@THE_INFECTED]

DPS was bad but I think this wasn’t all their fault, even if they changed to anything they would have died due to the supports only looking at you for the attack, (they did bad plays and got one shot by widow but when that wasn’t happening it didn’t look like they were getting healed much by the Moira while kiri had to stick to you even though it had to be the opposite. Defense, that illari has to play illari in QP before trying it in comp 😂 While I think as a DVA you also should mark the widow as soon as you see her so that the dos can know where she is to not get picked

[@Bad3abdul]

i think that kiri made the right play tbh keeping him up helped i think the moira shouldv'e identified that and helped the others

[@THE_INFECTED]

@ yep but it was Moira’s fault Kiri had to heal bot tank

[@dread3165]

im a dps main and this is 100% on the dps theres a lof times the dps should’ve focused/pushed with tank but stood still

[@THE_INFECTED]

I play all three and I agree and disagree, one the dps were getting diffed quite a lot of the time however with Kiriko needing to stick to tank and Moira needing to heal the dps there is a problem that forms because of how the team is spread out, you can’t expect a Moira to go heal a hitscan in the back and another dps in the front The dps that was not Ashe kept swapping and none of them worked because of it. Now if you look at the scoreboard Kiri going 700dmg is quite bad even if the stats for healing are good heal boting was just a bad idea especially when Kiriko could actually go kill a widow easily. But yes they got hella diffed as at second point. If I were dps I would have gone Genji to go for widow or if I were healer I would swap Juno instead of Kiri to give that tank some speed and better heal bot when low and aggressive dmg dealer. Especially cause Kiri was kinda mid until the recent patch where Mauga was buffed. Tank was not too bad in this but I think what could have helped find the widow so the dps could dive her or not get killed by her. But yes I agree with the dps diff but I think the supports were a bit too panicked the whole time. Oh and they couldn’t really push with the tank cause that would just give the widow free space to go on a kill spree. This is why Ashe had to try and keep an eye on her but obviously when it’s widow vs ash, 90% of the time Widow wins so if the tank kept an eye and pinged cause they can be in the front lines there was a chance for the Ashe to make sure she doesn’t get spotted first

[@yoav1847]

[@dharakcolossus981]

I would use a slightly more complex points system to gauge who threw: +2 if you die early or waste an ult +1 if you were out-of-position, spend a moderate amount of time not generating value (can get more than 1 point for this in a single fight) or do a play that SHOULD'VE gotten you killed

It's the tanks job to ping the widow. If your widow was unaware of the location of the enemy widow, that's also on you because you're the only one who can't be one shot. Also your job to stuff the enemy into corners, so its actually a point against you that your reaper dies on first point attack. It's your job to set him up.

[@Bad3abdul]

set him up how if i may ask setting up the reaper would be leaving your support LOS in that situation yes he couldv'e helped but the risk was too high although he helped with shield

You are using that ow1 mentality, in ow2 tank’s main responsibility is to stay alive and force enemy cooldowns. Setting up and positioning is completely up to the dps and supports because they are not something you will need to worry about.

this is plat, having moira is not a hinderance. In masters+? yes. You're saying that out of principle alone as if you are a high rank player but you probably don't even understand why that would be. And again this is plat, i wouldn't worry too much about composition, people stressing about that kind of thing in platinum are just going to stress themselves out, stress the team out and ruin their own morale thinking the game is unwinnable before it even starts. Even in top 500 you can win with unconventional comps, that kind of thing is not particularly important unless you're actually co-ordinated.

[@glr]

That is not throwing. Please stop diluting that word.

[@piratesmanX]

It's throwing when the support comp doesn't know what to play around. There's no way the supports are thinking Mercy/Illari is a good support comp in the first place as they both are pretty crap in sustaining team fights while the comp is too greedy. Tank persisting on playing Orisa which is a brawl tank specifically on holding space when the said support comp being played is quite questionable too. He should be playing dives instead so he can mainly focusing on disrupting team composition, go in and out, which is way better than playing a brawl tank that requires attention to sustain and team effort to make it work. His choices are often questionable as well, which he himself didn't see it for some reason. DPS awareness is basically off too, positioning and comp wise. In short, shit game where all shit players somehow gathered together and making a shit show. Gg go next when that happens.

[@glr]

@@piratesmanX Man, I get all that. I'm just saying the word "throw" shouldn't be used so lightly. As for comp, there is a possibility that they one-tricked to their rank and literally aren't capable of accommodating. And the overwhelmingly most likely scenario is that they unintentionally made mistakes or are just clumsy sometimes, like 99% of players. Nobody here shows evidence that they threw. They appear to be playing the game. It's easy to judge people in hindsight -- I'm sure they were judging themselves after making mistakes.

[@花び]

I’m assuming this was made out of tilt of having bad teammates or teammates saying “mtd”-if you want to actually improve at the game mute all text chats and leave vc if people start arguing. Stop worrying about your teammates and analyze yourself. The enemy team has 5 chances to get a thrower or someone having a bad game and your team only has 4 chances (excluding yourself). If you are good enough, you will improve and then rank up. Also, these people are the same rank as you; you don’t really have a right to complain. Of course, if you’re just playing for fun that’s fine but you shouldn’t get tilted over these things as it’ll make you enjoy the game less. - masters all roles

@@TheWatchOverOW Thanks for the chuckles. Very few people in plat and below actually want to srsly improve or they wouldn't be there, the ones that do are usually so heavily brainwashed by guys like you or the norms in a given rank that they get trapped or think aim has a lot to do with it. While this kind of content is extremely bad for the game, it's only adding a single tear to to the ocean at this point. Ever consider enabling or combo timing with your other dps you consider to be throwing to minimize it and get them going? Same for anyone on your team; ask yourself what is causing them to underperform and try to help clear the obstacle/counter... normally you wouldn't do this in a low rank like plat besides support peel, but it will get you a lot further than tracking their mistakes and playing solo minded. If you ever manage to get to mid diamond or higher, that is one of the bigger changes; how dps will work together in timing to secure kills looking for it and cover each other properly vs every man for himself oblivious to what their teammates are attempting at low ranks while judging them as if they're enemies.
