This Kiriko proves Elo Hell is REAL. Support is Useless. | Educational VOD Review

[@tabbestt]

Hi, first kiriko here- I think i actually do have an ss of the stats after the game, i take one after most games, id just need to search for it Anyways, thanks for the advice, i think I’m just a lot more scared to take risks in comp because im worried about getting flamed And i am also a mercy main…

[@tabbestt]

Nevermind i deleted the ss…

[@MetroOW]

Don't worry about it, I hope the tips helped a bit. :) ALSO Pro Tip for Comp: Do not give a fuck about your teammates, if they flame, mute them and move on. Once you do that u'll realize what u missed out on :)

[@bunniyubel]

Just play full mute. You don't need comms in low elo since people won't make use of comms or coordinate. 9/10 times "comms" in low elo is useless gibberish with no communication of future gameplan/strategy.

[@yee5012]

i would like to give you more advices that will help you a lot, ult track, after 2 or 1 and a half team fights start looking for the enemy team they might have an ult like you don't see the cass anywhere, a high chance he will flank highnoon, don't be scared to teleport to teammates you have suzo and climp to survive i do it a lot and most of the time i survive unless the one i teleported to dies then i might die too, healing, since kiriko's heal is too slow if you see your team starting to engage start pre healing (heal a teammate who is already full) like the tank for example so when he takes damage the slow healing that you already sent a year ago will heal him. sorry if i took a lot of your time i hope you get better at kiriko even better than me

[@alfred9805]

I think metro did a great job with his review, you got good basics, now you need to limit test, you're gonna climb in no time! My tip: remove text chat (team + all) it serves no purpose and should be removed. I played a ton of ow1 and was miserable, in ow2 I removed text chat in the settings and now I'm having fun, sometimes my friends get tilted on discord and I don't understand why until I remember that I removed text chat. For voice chat it's up to you, if you're fast with the mute button you can keep it, otherwise just remove it

[@dripku6683]

Bro I can never understand a passive Kiriko. The first Kiriko was the definition of "Come to me for healing"💀

[@Candybjorn]

I can't count number of times, when i spam "Come to me for healing" on Kiriko. Don't forget, this is low ranks, people here doesn't know how to play this game or just having fun(throwing). When tank is alone, all team dead, and he goes into full enemy team to ult.. fuck such tank.

[@Shifft-This]

4:30 Thank you so much for saying this. It can get so frustrating as a tank player to see your entire team behind you and you commit to a push and no one else does so you just die. Like bro, I realize it might not have been the best engage I could do, but it might have been the only opportunity to engage I had. Better for us all to push in as a team and die, than for the tank to push in and the rest of the team stagger.

Watching a couple of these videos back to back, I really like that he is so nice and supportive to new bronze players, and absolutely s**ts on the plat players. Having climbed to diamond in the first year of OW1, taking 6 years off from all PvP FPS, and having to do the climb to diamond all over again over 6 months... Plat 5 is the peak of the Dunning-Kruger effect in OW. The most toxic players that think they know everything about OW, come into games tilted, immediately attack other players for not playing the way they want them to after one single fight, etc

[@natapatss8456]

Thank you for making this kind of video, you deserve wayyy more subs. I hope more people watch you. In the state of ow2, at least in NA region, people are flaming each other mindlessly. I'm in master 1 consistently and people are sometimes clueless why they lose the game and blamed each other instead, usually based on stats. I feel like each person has their own opinion on "how to win the game" without trying to improve their plays or realize their mistakes.

[@Liam-uo5zq]

Agree with the stats thing. See a lot of people with the "I carried hard, Sombra did nothing she only has 6k damage" etc etc, yet all match she's harassed the supports and tanks hacking every opportunity and denying the health packs.

Kiriko is hard to master, but I believe it too. After 70 hours, I guess, I finally reach Plat. Some things are out of your control, but she's strong and can match well in any comp.

[@frozenfury0]

I've just recently been focusing on learning Kiriko after putting around 100 hours into maining Ashe, which tought me the importance of ammo economy and aiming. I've found good success dueling by not just holding down kunai and flicking but instead focusing on patient shots and getting my redicule over the enemy first which is good for short and mid range. Also have been focusing on aiming all the ofuda as well instead of flicking it and missing half of them.

[@eugenefreerun3694]

6:55 I sh*t myself duuuuude

[@texdoc89]

If you aren't off angling with Kiriko and taking pressure of your front line and using TP to get out then you are playing Kiriko wrong. If you are healbotting even to get ult with Kiriko, you are playing her wrong, now granted in this comp since you have Mercy you can't play AS aggressive, but you're playing unbelievebaling passive. Always love your videos and try and catch your streams if I am still up around the time since I'm in the US, as a Gold Kiriko who has peaked nearly Diamond since moving to PC.... I would just farm you in Gold and style on you because like Metro said, you are the definition of passive honestly you got carried big time in this game.

[@sylvievadimsky7515]

Honestly, “support syndrome” is held up by other players, particularly those in low elo, or higher ranked players with no brain, who INSIST that supports just focus on healing. I’m a Moira one-trick, but I recently did a challenge to force myself to try and learn the other supports in the game (in QP; I don’t throw comp for fun) and, for quite a few of my games, I actually got MORE ENDORSEMENTS for playing a support “badly” (usually just healbotting and trying not to die) then I would having more impact as a (I would say) more experienced Moira player doing more to impact the game. Even to this day, I will rarely get endorsements playing Moira, and certainly not the four-five endorsements I got regularly before I started doing thing like looking for easy picks and playing more “DPS,” so to speak. (I consider myself more a flex Moira than a DPS Moira, since I will still heal, and can even become the primary healer depending on comp, but the point still stands.) I’ve learned that as a good player in B5, there are a LOT of randos and groups who want to be carried, but very few of them will even say thank you, which is all I really ask for. 😢

[@Stanky_Foot]

good player in B5?? what?????

[@jamesburnett3594]

I get endorsed all the time for bad games. Basically if I have more healing than the other support EVEN with lots of deaths and sub par damage I will get endorsements and often compliments. But I often have games where I'm like 5k damage and 8k healing but my other support has 9k healing and almost no damage and def get less endorsements and compliments. People just zero in on healing and forget the rest. In fact, sometimes I've been told I should've left more kills to DPS even when I'm playing baptiste who can literally shoot and heal at a rhythm that allows him to do max healing while pumping out damage. Yet people have this idea that all supports MUST choose between the two and if I'm doing damage that automatically means I was sacrificing healing. Basically support is very misunderstood by the general playerbase and even by high lv players that don't play the role much.

a backline kiriko hurts my eyes... Saying this as a Ana/Kiri/Bap main. She has so much dmg potential and team push potential. when i dive in with tanks we usually win most fights. If the tank knows what to do.

[@rd-lw4td]

That's true. I just lead the frontlines on Kirko! It was a suicide mission because we were running out of time. I killed their Symetra, used suzu, jumped over the bastion in turret mode, and killed him from behind. We had no more time to capture the point. Luckily the Rein and gang were right behind mee. I still don't know how I survived that, lol. It was almost a tie, but the team pushing hard won the game.

[@SocialExperiment232]

When watching Chloe play I feel like I can almost hear her screaming in panic every time she gets jumped and missing all her shots 😂 (been there). I think she has promise. Once she hits the aim trainer she will feel more confident to make plays I feel like she plays passive cause she knows she’s gonna miss and it’s kinda a viscous cycle where you don’t make plays cause you’re not good enough but then you don’t improve cause you never try anything new. Hit the aim trainer Chloe and fake some confidence until it’s there.

[@chloeeig]

meh ive had games where i did pretty insane and got a couple of heads but ig this the one that got picked so welp

[@cole8457]

I had a Kiriko in my game, they literally had 55 damage by the end of the game. They decide to shit talk the DPS players and say they need to do their job. A lot of supports don’t understand that DMG = Heals pretty much, they’re both just as useful.

[@g4greed502]

thats what I try to achieve in terms of stats. if I play Heal bot, that means DPS isn't getting kills or the enemy DPS is cracked

[@calebposey8451]

Love these vids

[@brunotolomeotti1204]

Metro, did ever get an account on bronze 5 to see how it is? That could be a good video if you didn’t. Sometimes i have a feeling that no matter what you do, you cant get over 50% win rate. On bronze 5 there’s always a very underwhelming dps that does next to no damage (when not both), a tank that goes on a one man mission, or plays ball or doom without knowing how to do it or someone leaves the game in the middle (very common) or a combination of all the above. My general feeling is that for these very low ELOS where everyone is low skill, those things are magnified to a point you’d have to be a masters or above to actually carry and be able to matter. I main kiriko started playing now, 2 weeks ago. At the same time, I’m diamond on apex and iridescent on cod. I also would like to think im not an idiot, but something seems off about the ranked system or the matchmaking with OW.

[@monysugardogs8959]

Coming at us? The Mercy mains?? WOOOOOOOOOW.

[@lilith9862]

You can see the stats if you spectate a specific team- not in the free spectate tho

[@StrategicLemon]

This is probably pretty obvious, but I think the main reason why a lot of kiriko players are scared to teleport is because the moment they teleport into someone that's low, the enemy team will immediately turn to her and then one shot her. And then kill the other player. So in a sense you're basically putting yourself in harm's Way just to save one person, which in reality you're not really saving them because once they kill you, they're going to kill the person you try to save. And then you get blamed for it

[@trxningarc7334]

PLEASE LET ME BE ON THIS. I’m a solo q tank player and I got to diamond 3 this season. But due to having the WORST teammates ever, and being placed against enemies who are in Masters, I’ve been going back and forth between Plat 2 to Plat 1. I’m getting tired of this and it’s becoming a chore. I’m a JQ main but can also play Ramattra, Zarya, and Sigma. To sum it up, I think I deserve Masters on tank, only because it pits me against masters. (I’ll try to see if I can find a match for u to review)

[@Hunner826]

Some of these people's positioning really aint terrible at times. The hard truth though is your positioning will only do so much for team mates that play out in the open or disregard high ground and tunnel vision the payload. What I've learned is you have to commit to aggressive angles and find damage all the time. IDGAF if your healing is 10k/10, damage is where it counts.

[@g4greed502]

refreshing to see someone who understands that Support is called Support and not Healer for a reason

Just wanted to give some advice although watching you vod a bronze 5 player is funny I feel like it would be more interesting if you could vod mid rank players so more people can relate and learn instead of just listening to basics we already know, still love the vid though

[@PhillipAllenShio]

I don't think Kiriko's damage stat is that important. She has burst damage, kind of like Widow. If you get 20 kills on squishies and double headshot every single one of those kills, your damage stat is not gonna be that high.

[@SocialExperiment232]

True. Sometimes I have half the dmg of my Moira but twice the kills cause Moiras just get a ton of skill orb fluff dmg that never converts to anything and actually fed the enemy supports a steak dinner. But I think he means more he wants to see the dmg cause she wasn’t really landing any shots 😂 she has to work on her aim lol I think once her aim is a bit better she will be a bit more confident in making plays. Right now she probably doesn’t engage much cause she knows she’s gonna miss all her shots and die.

[@MetroOW]

I agree, you can get picks without having a lot of damage on kiri, just used it as an example here for the general lack of pressure on the other team.

[@Stanky_Foot]

i get trying to play passive, but this kiriko literally doesnt even figure out that he has to keep LOS, if the tank doesnt adapt you have to

[@alfred9805]

Honestly you did great, and metro covered the most important things, maybe I'd add focus a bit on positioning, you seem very proficient with the abilities but the fact that you always end up in the middle of the brawl makes it impossible to figure out what you need to do (hence panic mode), if you were outside of the fight, behind cover or on a high ground you wouldn't need to dodge bullet frantically and track a mei doing 360 back flips around you, it would become a relaxing point and click adventure. As an example take a look at 14:15, you're constantly walking towards your orisa (it's called plat magnet), and end up in the middle of the fight you don't need to be that close to her, also the crazy TP a few minutes later. Other than that it looks great, you should climb soon

[@qew_Nemo]

With all due respect, it's not possible to climb out of bronze into gold by exclusively focusing on healing and keeping your team alive, no. That's just plain false and misleading. If you think I'm wrong, you're more than welcome to record yourself ranking up from silver 3 to gold while focusing on healing.
