This DPS Thinks Their Rank Is TOO HIGH? | Overwatch 2 Spectating

[@novembergaming5866]

I honestly love how honest they are with themselves and just asking for help

[@Zack_Zander]

Yeah, no sugar coating and fully honestly, I respect that. Something that one would almost never see from a prideful player.

[@mayitakeyourhatsir8632]

it's important to consider that the scoreboard never tells the whole story. a moira can put up absolutely ridiculous stats while not being that impactful in the larger teamfight. mei and tracer specifically are two characters who aren't supposed to light up the scoreboard. if you're absolutely dominating you can put up some really good stats, but generally the goal of those characters isn't "i'm gonna farm as much damage as possible"

[@Read_surah_al-fatihah]

I have a genuine question. Does damage matter ( like having a really high damage )? Because i once have played a hybrid map, and we got the 3rd point. but one of the supports blamed me because of my Dmg, ( I had higher stats than everyone on the enemy team expect dmg ) and when I told him it’s probably because I don’t get heals from you he said “10k healing lol” ( or smtg ) like bro I don’t care if you have high healing. I’m just saying that you don’t heal me . Sorry for yapping with bad grammar c:

[@EvilMagnitude]

Yup, Moira is guaranteed to get massive stats from orbs even if they feed all game. No stat tells the full story but I think looking at elims vs deaths is usually a better metric than raw dmg

[@dominikscharka4513]

​@@Read_surah_al-fatihahit depends on what hero you are playing. On oneshoot/oneclip heroes like widow or tracer your kill stats are more important than dmg while on heroes like bastion, pharah, junkrat or soldier their dmg stat should always be relatively high.

This person is playing tracer better then a gold player, they take short off angles, don’t really just blink around in the open, have good target priority, know to contest people but not necessarily going all in during the 1v1s on off angles. The mei seems like it needs a little work but it will come with time

[@bostinobaddog2040]

their tracer has good game sense but as someone who hovers in the gold/play area their aim isn't good at all. I notice the keep running into walls and it seems like their sens is lower than they'd normally be used to

[@DemiCape]

Nah judging based on my experience as gold, this should be around gold.

[@patrickolah]

@ the tracer seemed better then gold but everything else was silver. I don’t like saying this because it’s nothing at all to brag about but I’m d2. I always feel like I need to improve still though, literally every game lol

[@sm64justreef88]

Guarantee that if you compared yourself to you years ago, your aim has improved. Probably just happened gradually so you don't notice.

It legit might be your setup, I finally got a 144hz monitor and a gaming mouse and my aim literally 2xed overnight. Not even exaggerating, it was literally overnight

[@trxpcr4ck3d39]

A gold 2 tracer gameplay, right up my alley. Hopefully this makes me indirectly climb out of gold myself.

incredibly good tracer gameplay, so so mei gameplay. honestly if this person sticks to tracer and consistently plays like how they did here they will climb

[@awkwardmuttsy6583]

Just from the first round one, pretty solid, room to grow, I think they easily belong at this rank and can climb further

There’s a good chance that he got that rank with his friend because of good collaboration. Playing with random and playing with a team that they can work well with can make a huge difference and boost their confidence.

As someone who never notices thumbnails I have to say, this thumbnail might have been one of the most visually striking OW thumbnails that I have ever seen. Wow.

[@M392DMR]

its so hard to self evaluate because you will always have a baised wether negative or positive and even harder to ask someone else to do it for you I commend these people who genuinely want to get better and understand how to do it

[@Frallicus]

Taking what rank you should be off of based on one game isn’t exactly the best choice. It’s like ego vods: they don’t the show full picture of how you react to many different comps and situations on many maps, it also doesn’t show every kind of headspace, decision making, or choices based off team composition. (Essentially, if you play badly during one game doesn’t mean you don’t belong where you belong. Bad games happen to everyone, and instead of worrying about how you messed up, it’s better to use the opportunity to learn from your less than perfect games so you can make it to higher ranks in the future (which is why I assume they sent in the game for vod review)) That being said: this very much looks like Gold gameplay, so I think you’re definitely somewhat near the correct current rank

[@Iscoileachme]

I think I can relate to this person on some level. With how people constantly trash talk everyone for their rank, joke about "wood 1000" etc. It's all fun in general, ofc, but there's still some pressure you can feel. I sometimes tell myself I should only play qp after I get stomped in silver lmao. Also happened to me when I was in bronze, imagine what that does to your self esteem. Smurfs or not smurfs, it kinda sucks to suck in the lowest rank. There are games that are close, and then there are games when you can't do anything at all and just play respawn simulator. Me and those people on the enemy team, we are not on the same skill level even remotely. Which is really weird, since I've had games against gold players and they were all like, okay, moderately sweaty. Not like this. So the conclusion I tend to draw from these experiences is, either such enemies shouldn't be in my games and in my rank __at all__, or I am really too bad even for Bronze/Silver, I guess?

[@Falllll]

@@Iscoileachme the oft-repeated Counter Strike game tip is "Hey, sometimes your opponent is just having a good day." Memed to death, but also definitely true. Gold ranks in particular I think are where you have people that are pretty inconsistent and capable of playing at a much higher level on their best days and much, much worse on their bad days. Throw in some people being smurfs or carrying friends, some people being carried by friends and not belonging, and some people who just don't play regularly enough to get to whatever rank they actually ought to be at, and you have a recipe for inconsistent games.

[@boevoikrikun]

I don't play OW since OW2 release, and I just realise how much I did OTP Mei back in the days... I noticed every single minor error that could have be done better. Then I realized that all was from knowing the character's limits and how much fun I had playing it back in the days. I miss old OW...

[@limwater8230]

This is the best part about overwatch. You don’t win by getting the most kills. You win by being the best team. If you stay alive and push the objective, then you are doing good. If you are ignoring team and charging in when all your teammates are dead, then that’s bad.

[@rapidfirer56]

[@Antonio-ys5zd]

Great Tracer but with Mei your walls don't have to be perfect. Even if they are just used for shielding so your team can survive they provide assistance. Try to recognize those instances next time you play her

[@jotarokujo3603]

I feel like this is about to be a humble brag.

[@hardcorehenry5240]

I think he should have played closer to the choke on first point defence since mei is a menace if she plays behind that wall. If she walls of sigma zen would orb him, sym would beam through his grasp and Ana would anti him. This combination forces the enemy team to waste valuable resources to save sigma.

[@johnathanbickford8212]

I gotta say, I swear watching people play overwatch and me playing overwatch are like totally different things. Now I choose to believe when I play I just pick the worst positioning imaginable. But the tracer that's in gold in this play gets a lot of chances to harass the back line, float in out and, etc etc, If I try to harass the backline at all. (I'm also in gold) I swear the ENTIRE enemy team turns around and insta's me if I even THINK about shooting one of their players.

[@loganbowyer1733]

We all miss our pulse bombs LOL

[@cnaizhen]

I think that his Mei will improve simply by having a mindset change to how he play the hero - to always look for opportunity to set up plays with his wall rather than play Mei like a generic shooter.

[@Luna_TooLazy]

As a tracer/mei main, I genuinely see myself in this person and ngl this is some solid advice

Honestly for a Gold, his Tracer aim looks way better than some people in Diamond

[@MaxMax-ok1ek]

Today I ran into a hacker in role quickplay, i was reaper and they were sojurn, i knew they were hacking because they killed 4 of us with headshots in a row, when i checked the replay, i saw them unload a full clip at my zens head while he was behind a wall. Even while he was aimboting and wallhacking we won the game, even while the enemy team tank was orisa.

Why is it that people who are actually good think they should be lower rank while people who absolutely suck think they deserve higher

[@fabianschultz]

It‘s hard to admit your mistakes and easy to blame others. If you‘re actively trying to get better and search for your mistakes you‘ll find them and a lot of them. This can make you think how am I ranked this highly if I‘m making mistakes constantly, not realizing the same is true for everyone else. Or he could know he‘s actually pretty good and is just searching for compliments, but let’s not assume that.

[@calvinbratkovics1493]

I have a question about widow, I'm trying to play her more in ranked and get flamed for having low damage, but I feel like I'm getting value because I have high kills and go for supports, is it just low ranks being obsessed with the damage number and I should ignore them or do I need to do something different.

[@johnh3611]

So many possibilities. Maybe you're not providing enough value to win the match, despite some kills here and there. Maybe you are getting huge picks but your team isn't good enough to press the advantage. Maybe your damage is too low. If the other dps has 10k and you have 2k, that's likely a problem. But if you have 5k because you're getting one-shots instead of farming tanks that could be fine. At the end of the day, she's hard to pull off. Don't just blindly listen to low rank flamers, but if this is a pattern then there could be something to it.

[@calvinbratkovics1493]

@@johnh3611 it was the kiriko flaming me for having low damage but I probably shouldn't listen to him when I say next to him for like 10 seconds at 20 hp and he couldn't press one button to help me apply pressure again instead of farming the tank

[@overratedfool6900]

@@johnh3611 I agree. "...if this is a pattern then there could be something to it." I think this is actually rare. In my experience the pattern is almost always the hero you're playing, not how well you're playing them. I don't think I've EVER been insulted by a team mate when I've been playing Ashe, yet I have a 48% win rate with her and on DPS I'm silver 3. In fact, I get occasional ximmer and smurf remarks from the enemies. I do get flamed on tracer sometimes, yet my win rate is 52%. I get insulted constantly by my team mates when I play Bap, yet I have a 54% win rate with him and on support I'm gold 1. I've never been flamed on Kiri and my win rate with her is 42%. Your low ranked (and even high ranked for the most part) team mates do not have a clue how well you're playing; how to play your hero correctly; what you're doing or where you are. I am so much better on Bap than Ashe, it's not even funny. If you could see the difference in comments that I get, you'd not believe your eyes.

[@buddytheratmore7540]

how do i get better with aim i only get up to 40% accuracy with hitscan characters on my best games, and 46% with projectile characters and that means im still hitting less than half of my shots, how do i fix this? i know ive only played for about a year and a half but i think its the thing holding me back from climbing out of bronze, (either that or my teammates bc yk, low elo) most of my damage is from using the other abilities of characters (rat traps/mines) (ball piledrive and boop), but my whipshot on brig averages 60% accuracy, so im not really sure what makes that different

[@Obnoxious-tu6gh]

Aim isn't what makes or breaks your rank. 40% to 50% is pretty good, definitely not bronze level. It's more likely your target priority, positoning, or ability usage. When any of those are flawed, aim won't help no matter how good it is
