mL7 Spectates a Gold Kiriko - OVERWATCH 2

[@endless_del]

i love this format of the submitter pointing out 2 moments they need help because it encourages them to review themselves first, which promotes an open mind to feedback.

[@PoohOnYourShoe]

By far, hands down, the best kiriko break down/vod review on KZbin right now. I’m trying to climb this season and after making a bunch of horrible decisions to play with new players in ranked, plus this soft reset, I was able to climb from bronze 2 to silver 5 basically solo. I’ve been waiting for a kiriko vod review. This nails it dude. Please please please, keep them coming. All ranks, plat, bronze, masters, idc just keep them coming lol

[@spicymilk9567]

This is fantastic. I would love to see more educational content on the main channel (Maybe even an OW2 unranked to GM with educational commentary where you talk about differences in how we should play support from OW1)

[@EpicNova12]

I've watched many unranked to gm in my days. I've learned more in the first 10 minutes of this video of how to truly get out of gold than any other video I've ever seen.

[@deusvult6920]

"They do not disengage" My dude, allow me to introduce you to silver they will run in all by themselves but the second you throw fox everyone wants to fall back

[@jvkx3859]

Then they say where tf were the heals if they die in like u can heal thru five people

[@Phanaticx]

This is great! Would love to see more VOD Reviews in the future!

[@TufteeArt]

I learned why I’m stuck gold in the first 5 min. Dude explains things VERY well.

[@NappTime_]

Love to see vod reviews return! hope we get more for OW 2 ana/bap/kiriko vods.

[@inarikun1348]

THANK YOU!!!!! I would love more of these vods please!

[@Paweljarski]

Part-time OW1 player getting into OW2 as a Kiriko main - this is super interesting and helpful; and very classily explained. Thank you for sharing!

[@snapolitano13]

Woah VOD reviews are back? Nice! I know they take a long time, but they're very nice to watch to improve my own gameplay

[@thefishey502]

This is really really good stuff. Top tier coaching on actually useful information.

[@karamei]

I love watching mL7 review any gameplay - his own or someone else's. Please keep it up!

[@ellejay1326]

I watched you do this on stream. Thank you for making this a video ❤

[@raquelortiz6077]

Thank you. This is my rank & I really wanted the advice as well!

[@ThaDarkSavior]

Jake did a Kiriko vod review from the OWL championship, and its crazy how different he views playing the character. He didnt go into how your playstyle changes when you are with a lucio instead of a moira, instead of a zen. The ML7 playstyle just seems more correct in 90% of my games. The only time i am happy healbotting is when my team has significantly better dps players, and i am running with a zen/reddit lucio.

[@setags3018]

reddit lucio?

[@twistedfox9445]

@@setags3018 Lucios that wanna do cool tricks with wall jumps and speed boost

[@sethescope]

what's important to remember about analysis of OWL gameplay is that OWL is essentially a different game. you and I are not playing the same game as they are, so trying to learn from them isn't going to be super helpful. ml7 on the other hand is analyzing ranked gameplay and giving easy to absorb and implement advice that is applicable to the game that we are playing. this goes for most things about OWL, like which heroes are meta in OWL has absolutely ZERO impact on and relevance to us* *meta doesn't exist below masters anyway so meta is irrelevant to the overwhelming majority of players anyway

[@anthempt3edits]

This is great, would love to see this for more support characters

[@Xilophonen]

coming from valorant with a pretty high rank i love going for kills with kiriko im trying to make opportunities all the time depending on my other healer knowing the potential high dmg the kunai makes my gamesense is pretty alright for a new ow2 player especially with the angles i take thank god i have past games experiences alot of these breakdowns helps me with improving my translated gamesense

[@RealLifeLuca]

15:56 mom i'm famous :3

[@luin6788]

this was like looking into a mirror jesus christ

[@Treador55]

27:52 I think you can add "Aggresion" to that graph. That might fit perfectly to be honest.

[@masterfy24]

I'm happy this exists as someone who is also gold 5 in support

[@kuropuu13]

This was so helpful, and I loved Olaf's summary at the end

[@clickbait7396]

I'm masters and this helped me realize that my rank doesn't match my skill more than I expected.

[@shuzilong]

Thank you for this very informative Breakdown. This will better help with training me to engage in encounters with Kiriko

[@JhonnyStone100]

How do they have morning lijuang map?

[@deusvult6920]

Also for swapping heal/kunai everyone should do it. It'll take a day or two to get used to it but after you do you will find yourself damaging more often. It being the primary action changes your mindset. It's helped me always looking for poke damage and in the end it's helped me take these fights with flankers rather than just running away I try to land a few hits if I get one boom it's a whole different fight and now the flanker is defensive and I'm going aggro

[@Orktosqt]

7:20 how do i know when team ACTUALLY needs me? 🤔

[@val26874]

Got 3k potg by off-angling last night. I say this because I still have Kunai bound to right click - just more comfortable that way.

[@GwnMichael]

Same , got used to it since she first got released and when i switched it i got really confused haha

[@texdoc89]

Man I definitely need to submit to you because positioning with her is killing me sometimes and I feel like I over TP at times. I made the transition from Moira to her because she basically does everything Moira can do just a bit better in my eyes. Also I am so telling everyone than ML7 said it was okay for me to do damage 🤣, I tend to spam/alternate in between my heals and kunai so I pick away and land kill shots when I can the TP definitely saves my butt a lot. I would like to know though, what maps or comps would you say she doesn't work best in?

[@trumpetyasuhiro]

First comment. I found your last note about what I should be aware of in support very helpful. Thank you from Japan.

[@misskalkuliert3976]

Your tips are all very good and all, but its never that easy down there. I recently came back to overwatch and down there its hell man. Especially Gold and Plat. Whenever I play with a Moira she is not healing, just damaging and I am not trying to exeggerate. Ranked just doesnt feel good anymore. I dont feel like I have any impact at all

[@halichu]

Agreed, most of the time I feel like I can’t trust my other support to heal. I want to play kiriko the right way, but I find myself having to healbot more than I’d like to cuz if I don’t my team will just be dead constantly 🥲

[@imnottellingyoumyname3050]

Excuses.

[@CS-pg4go]

I am also in gold 5 and ive been trying to learn how to play kiriko and usually I play it safe by being in the backlines but i've been trying to do the flanking method. Last game i got flamed for being "dps kiriko" after getting 7 headshot kills. I can see where the hesitation comes from because no one in lower elo understands that I am not dpsing.. im trying to distract and sometimes get lucky with headshot kills.

[@armando5994]

kiriko has very good dps qualities how could they get mad at that

[@imnottellingyoumyname3050]

Leave text chat when in metal ranks. Consider staying out of text chats in diamond and master

[@Flowersweep]

How do you ignore the horrible teammates treatment? Just seeing game after game people telling you to kill your self or even that you’re bad in qp when you’re just trying to learn like everyone else? I don’t lose all the time but I have a weird obsession to be perfect in most games. It so hard to get into a mindset where you just ignore the toxicity and do what’s best for you in a team coordinated game

[@janikut_]

8:15 huh but its good to help moira heals now that you have left the off angle, Moira has limited healing source so isn't it good to help her save some of it it for more critical situations?

[@Real_MisterSir]

In lower ranks, people are really good at providing general consistent heals, but very bad at saving critical allies from would-be deaths. It's comparable to low rank dps players who pump out a ton of damage over the course of a fight but can never truly secure an elim. At the end, causing or preventing elims is what makes or breaks your fights, and is what low rank players need to focus on improving. Being attentive to potential death situations, and understanding how they can help prevent those deaths from happening - and being able to do this consistently with minimal decision delay (aka higher pace of gameplay). Providing good base heals is the bare minimum bar for existing competitively in OW, but it does nothing for your ability to rank up and play at higher levels. It means you're playing to survive, rather than playing to win. Survivalists do not rank up. They just perpetually exist with high stats to pad themselves in their belief that its their team holding them back and not their own lack of fight-swinging plays.

[@johndrippergaming]

i am DPS moira :)

[@edwarda7096]

I love having low elo healers that do no healing🤣
