#GIT GUD OVERWATCH TOURNAMENT HOW TO#

There was never a time back then when I’d truly call myself good, or even OK. But although I started growing my fundamental skills, I never truly found my stride. I started going to tournaments beginning in 2015 and was dead set on that classic “ git gud” mentality.

While I eventually dropped Marvel 3 from my playlist out of frustration (that game was not kind to the younger me, and I still had no clue how to use training mode), that experience led me into a greater world of competitive fighting games. And my lord, I wanted to go for some extra credit badly. I realized that if I wanted to improve, I basically had to treat gaming like homework. Both featured my favorite fighting game of all time, Ultimate Marvel vs. One of them was made by esteemed fighting game content creator Maximilian Dood as part of his “Assist Me” learning video series, and the other was a video of a match from Evo, the largest fighting game tournament. One day, as if it were fate, I was surfing YouTube and ran into two videos. and to fix it will mean redesigning like half the supports or so.Have you ever thought to yourself, I want to get better at games, but I don't want to destroy my life? We're here to help with a special week dedicated to all things video games and health. Will they fix it? who knows because again, there’s no sign as to where they’re planning to go or what they’re planning to do with them. it is fact that there is a direct conflict between keeping current OW1 designs vs the expectations on players with OW2 direction. Not to mention the criticisms in my initial reply are valid regardless of such optimism. but seeing as we don’t, praying for it to be fixed in another round of beta is simply blind optimism at this point in time. Like if there was any actual indication that they have a plan and more of an idea of what their direction was for supports then sure one can be reasonably hopeful. I’ve yet to see anything announced for them outside of a moira rework which is funny because apparently 1 of the better supports in beta rn is moira simply because she has survivability, and yet they’re going to rework her which for all we know is probs gonna end up as a net nerf from her current status

I think we are playing a true beta, not a some sort of demo of a soon released game.īlizzard have all the time to adjust the supports balance to be more adapt to 5vs5. This is only the first beta, Blizzard on the same launch of this beta announced there will be more. It’s not about “oh there are less shields”, it’s about dps having less obstacles (1 less tank, regardless if he has a shield or not) to do their intended job, which is killing things, and supports being the first target and the easiest to hunt down because they literally got no new tools to survive. I really don’t see your “shield” argument, and again if your background is the experience in <1000 SR bronze, then yeah i can here that.Įverything starting from 2000 SR has nothing to do with shields anymore.Īgain, the tank picks are as diverse as you’d imagine, with heroes like Sigma and Orisa being one of the least popular. Moira and Lucio don’t need shields because they are mobile and survivable.īrig has her own shield and she simply gets value by existing.īap can also do his own thing from far away. Mercy players play around cover and stick to dps to pocket them. They simply get passed it.Īna players play far away from “the shields”, away from collateral damage. Shields will do nothing against an organized Dive comp for example. TLDR: 2 roles (dps and tank) can do their respective jobs in a more easy and impactful and fun way, while another role (support) is supposed to have a worst experience than in OW1. They are easier to focus down but they have no upgraded tools to avoid danger. Supports, who are biggest losers by default, didn’t get the necessary changes to be able survive in this new harsher environment. Tanks are now mega buffed and super survivable so that they usually don’t feel helpless.

Everyone needs to be more careful with 1 less teammate.īut the experience is not the same for every role.ĭPS players are still the ones with most damage output, they are stills the assassins, still the ones who hunt people down… they still have the exact same job, except that their job is now even easier because there is 1 less tank that used to counter their damage and threaten their lives! Teamplay need more skill now than simple regroup near/behind the shield/shields.Īll that is true for all players, not just supports. Learn the maps and covers, coordinate with distant teammates, all players need to keep more in mind of Line of sight for healing.

Because now positioning is more important.
