[gusty sluice]

give us characters lmao, wanda and hela are 2 very different dps

[raw cargo]

Alright alright, let's say, bucky, Magneto, Venom, Namor, and Emma.

[grizzled lodge]

8/10 gamesense 5/10 aim on tank

[wintry moss]

Again as with most have said and I'm sure you are looking for a definitive answer but even with tanks it'd be quite strong to have a 8/10 aim 5/10 gamesense on tank deadpool but not someone like strange who'd prefer the other way.
That being said you can 100% climb with a heavy side on one or the other provided you pick the appropriate heroes related to those skillsets.

[grizzled lodge]

for dps if its an aim based dps then the other way around, overall just work on both though if you play multiple heroes

[gusty sluice]

I feel like you are looking for a main or a new main or something here lol

[raw cargo]

Well, I like to believe I have above average gamesense and aim, but I have trouble improving aim and I find it to be difficult to consistently practice it. Usually I default to just practicing gamesense because it's easier and equally or more important. Recently I've been starting to think I should improve my aim more too, especially considering I dont play characters like Wanda and cloak. Basically, I'm trying to grasp the difference in importance for both and how they compare so I can use my time most efficiently.

[stark furnace]

your Gamesense translates between every character so its amazing to have it like second nature. But knowing what to do is pointless if you cant execute it. I’d say treat them evenly if you arent playing aim heavy characters

[cobalt mason]

ngl, movement is also wayy important too

[gusty sluice]

This makes alot more sense. In this case, you know your skill cap better than anyone. When it comes to getting better, I would let your character choice help guide that. If you enjoy Venom, work on game sense more, if you enjoy namor, work on aim more. Once again, this isnt concrete advice, but I think whatever you enjoy working on, you will get better faster at.

[wintry moss]

Well let me tell you my friend that when it comes to proper aim tracking and flicks, my hands are omega fried. I personally climbed just abusing gamesense to its maximum since if I can't outaim them, I sure can outsmart them.

[grizzled lodge]

you want what I did to improve my aim quickly?

[sick palm]

hi! Any mag/strange/tank pathfinders that are willing to do a vod review?

[raw cargo]

Based on your wording I assume you're going to say you played the game...

[grizzled lodge]

I hopped in practice range, got on mantis, went down to the training bot area, selected ironman, put him on max speed and combat, turned off instantheal, and kept 1v1ing the bot till I killed him without dying on mantis every single time.

helps a lot with practicing projectile hero aim

[nimble quiver]

Use the format in the pinned comment to make a VOD review request, then we can look it over

[grizzled lodge]

mantis has a very bad hitbox so usually if you can aim well on mantis you end up aiming better on other projectile heroes too

[raw cargo]

I'll try it

[grizzled lodge]

I went from

45% acc

to 65-70% acc

not a joke thats genuinely what I jumped to

and my aim is still consistently above 60 to this day

[stark furnace]

omg i did this same thing to practice magik and luna

[grizzled lodge]

tried and true method

great minds think alike

[wintry moss]

Hi slow I'm Denkal

[grizzled lodge]

...

to the gallows with you

[stark furnace]

Hi denkal, i know youre evil

[nimble quiver]

I'll send it in for another pathfinder to look at as well, I am not the best at Mag but I know how to play Strange, i'll look it over and give any tips I can point out though

[grizzled lodge]

Hello, I can take this one for both mag and strange

[sick palm]

Thanks for the help! Appreciate it

[cobalt mason]

wow on mantis?

[cobalt mason]

my acc on mantis is like, 30-40% lol

[grizzled lodge]

oh nono, on other heroes after practicing using mantis, my mantis aim is a little rusty now since I rarely play her and her projectiles are very different

mantis is just great to improve your aim on projectile heroes overall in general

if you dont play mantis for a while your aim on other projectile heroes will still be fine but since mantis hitboxes are so bad the mantis aim doesnt stay the same...

[cobalt mason]

oh lol, I was like danmmm, mantis projectiles are so fun when you get them down but if you stop playing mantis for like even a few days, it goes down hill real fast

[grizzled lodge]

you need to play mantis consistently

yes

[cobalt mason]

unfortunately dont get much chance to play mantis anymore, in comp atleast 🙁

[grizzled lodge]

yeah unfortunately shes not very good in double support outside of a dive comp, widow comp, or against a low damage team

[modern breach]

She is best in triple but she can work for attack on convoy especially in dive comps as rxlen said

[nimble quiver]

It seems your playtime on Strange was quite short in this match so I don't have too much to give, another Pathfinder will be with you when they have time for Magneto

You won the round with Strange, but the three critiques I have are, don't be so unsure of yourself when you have the portal behind you to retreat to for some heals, you could've easily gotten the kill on both Namor and the Cloak & Dagger, but you kept jumping in and out of the portal

Also make sure that in between shooting his left click, weave a single melee attack in, so Shoot - Melee - Shoot - Melee, it's both extra damage and extra E charge to get your big damage spike as Strange

Lastly, when you are blocking an AoE or an Ultimate ability with your shield, look towards the center of the AoE / Circle on the ground (AoE = Area of Effect), all of or at least most Circular Ultimate abilities actually don't effect the entire area at once and act more like a shockwave, with Strange, if you hold up your shield and face the center you'll block it and not take damage, as well as anyone else behind you, so it's a great way to save your team if they're positioned with you

[sick palm]

got it thanks for the help! I’m assuming the last bit with the ult was the namor one if i remember correctly? Was wondering why it didn’t block so thanks for the info!

[nimble quiver]

Yeah with the Namor one, also applies for Thor although you actually blocked the Thor one
Namor one can be deceptive cause it looks like a massive whale projectile he is launching but it's really just a timed AoE on the ground
If you have any further questions feel free to ask regarding Strange

[grizzled lodge]

I'll send a review on the mag part in a little bit

I'm currently watching the replay and this might be a longer msg since this is a longer game so I might spend a little time making a canva template

[modern breach]

And it applies to Jeff but only bubbles block that

[sick palm]

Thank you both so much for the help! It’s only my third season so ik im lowkey cheeks lmao

[nimble quiver]

Better than many i've seen, don't put yourself down like that

[white rain]

we’re just happy you’re apart of the community

[sick palm]

If i stand right in the center while bubbled right? I think i have that down pretty consistently unless you mean I can block it with shield? Havent tried that though but thank you regardless!

[modern breach]

Yeah any bubble

[nimble quiver]

Can't block it with Strange shield

[modern breach]

So mag hulk namor

No shield

[sick palm]

neat got it thanks

[modern breach]

👍

[modern breach]

You can also just break los. For example groot walls

[sick palm]

How so? Like wall in the center or?

[wind crest]

If anyones just starting out or wants some help w fundamentals/how to find a character you enjoy just lmk!

I am also rather proficient in nearly all supports Especially cloak and dagger (except Luna Loki, Deadpool) and I play a nasty moon knight if your interested in any of these character

[lilac root]

Kinda yeah. If the center of smth like jeff or namor ult doesnt have los to you, it doesnt hit

so even natural cover works often

Also what I recommend against jeff ult when you don't have smth against it yourself, hug a corner

and then just go around

[sick palm]

Got it thanks for the tips!

[teal herald]

I have a champion hulk what other vanguard should I try to master

Any suggestions

[stark furnace]

youve got dive down so maybe strange or peni for holding? or emma if youd like the versatility

[nimble quiver]

If you like Hulk I might suggest trying out Venom or Rogue, you can also use the daily #hero-card channel to get a random hero chosen for you for the day

[teal herald]

Thanks . Oh nice

[lilac root]

(As a non-tank player I would've suggested Thor, love how we all have different replies)

[nimble quiver]

Thor is great too

If you've mastered Hulk you can master just about any of the tanks, he's one of the most difficult in my opinion

[stark furnace]

i figured some hold would be nice as opposed to running a different dive against a possible anti team

[teal herald]

Hulk is great . Love how he powers up a black panther too

[lilac root]

Yeah, I was thinking moreso of a similar-ish playstyle

[nimble quiver]

^ ditto

[stark furnace]

i was thinking why might he have to switch off hulk

good to have different perspectives

[cobalt mason]

rogueee, if you love movement you will love rogue

[teal herald]

Im in grandmaster so if I pick up a new vanguard it wouldn’t be fair to my teammates.

[cobalt mason]

i meannn, comp is the best place to learn new characters, in my opinion

[stark furnace]

you dont have to launch them straight into comp

[cobalt mason]

maybe just learn a couple combos and fundamentals in the practice range first and if you feel necessary play a couple games in qp

[stark furnace]

some soft rounds on quick play until you’re confident work well

[nimble quiver]

I, personally disagree, it's a good place to start mastering them, I much prefer people stick to learning characters in Quick Play

[true beacon]

You can start with QP then when you feel like you have a good knowledge of that character you can hit Ranks if it doesn’t work you can always swap

[cobalt mason]

true, as someone who learns characters in comp I unfortunately agree with this, first like, 10 hours or so are rough

[true beacon]

Learning a character involves understanding the kit too. Comp won’t give you that chance plus you might end up doing multiple things wrong at the cost of losing your own Elo . Qp is optimal Comp is to fully test what you have learned

[teal herald]

I was also thinking cap America . Cardio cap

[nimble quiver]

Cap is a hard one to recommend to people, he feels very clunky to play right now, I love him but I can't deny how clunky he is

And Cap works against far fewer comps than the others do, if you're going up against a team that knows how to handle him you are near required to swap, where as with most other characters you can manage one way or another

[cobalt mason]

isn't cap kind of meta rn, celestial+

[nimble quiver]

He is, when played with a team that knows how to work alongside him

[drifting turtle]

Cap is in a strong state compared to where he's been for the last few seasons. The only problem is that it's difficult to solo carry and he performs best with coordination

[nimble quiver]

I'd take @drifting turtle 's word on how Cap is over mine, more experience than me

[teal herald]

Hulk is great for solo tanking cap is not then

[drifting turtle]

I would argue that neither are really cut out for solo tanking

[cobalt mason]

caps ult is rlly cool, something i've noticed when playing is that cap ult can win teamfights after both teams exhaust their strat ults. I don't play cap but I usually never mind having a cap on the team, because even if they dont rlly do much like dmg or final wise, the fact that they stay alive and draw attention or stall point/cart is just insane value in my opinion. on the other end of it though its lowkey annoyingh lol

[spark dagger]

[golden trellis]

Is Hulk worth really learning? He feels like he has no weight to his hits to me. Just a massive cc/displacement bot which I can imagine is good for backline peel.

[solid wedge]

Recommended settings for Spider-Man?

[stark furnace]

Good settings are subjective, so its best to constantly tweak yours until youre comfortable as opposed to copying someone else's. I spent around 3 hours one day tweaking my settings for each character I play and my aim has only been up from there. Try some time in the practice range doing the same

^Typed this earlier for a similar question

[drifting turtle]

Yup, that's just what Cap does. Ult for a tempo flip, and a kit to farm attention. He can't really frag out unless the enemy backline is getting next to no peel.

[solid wedge]

I guess I feel when I swing and I move fast, I need the dot to slow down and be more precise, but I need it to move around more when in combat. Does this help narrow it down at all?

[teal herald]

I’ve done well as hulk solo tank so long as the 3 dps are strong

[solid wedge]

Also Ggs from a couple days ago, currently in Gold 3

[teal herald]

Hulk is amazing since his r1 got buffed

[whole spear]

Is there anyone here that plays venom that can do a replay review for me 😩

[stark furnace]

thatd be in the advanced category of sensitivity settings
the rate at which your cursor increases and decreases in speed as well as what your max and minimum turn speed are

[void fern]

@grizzled lodge Are u available?

[teal herald]

You need the right cross hair setting for venom

[stark furnace]

i’m not good at that though so i’ll keep an eye on it if anyone pops in. dont shy from trying yourself though @solid wedge

[stark furnace]

cheers 🥂

[solid wedge]

Yeah, I know what I want, just don’t know how to do it

[grizzled lodge]

hi! I'm currently vod reviewing a mag game right now but after I'm done I will be available

oh my god it deleted it

[grizzled lodge]

Hello! Sorry it took so long but here are the specific overviews of your mistakes and what could've been done better along with your good plays and how a couple things could've been done a little better. I understand its a lot to read through so feel free to just skim it I am going to send a general overview shortly you'll just have to give me a minute to type it up

[sick palm]

Thanks a ton for your detailed input! all of that was really helpful. Is it mainly my bubble usage and ults that are the problem? Are there things I can improve in neutral? Thank you for your time btw

[grizzled lodge]

yes no problem, I'm typing up the general overview right now

if you have any more questions after reading that then you can just ask

[sick palm]

Will do! Thanks again!

[grizzled lodge]

heres the general overview

lmk if you have any other questions that weren't answered in it

@void fern I'm done with the mag/strange overview

I'll start working on yours now

all three games right?

[jagged flare]

What characters you path find for

[sick palm]

That’s all for now i think! Thanks for your help! I’ll play a few games tomorrow and keep those in mind!

[safe pawn]

@deep sorrel hi! Whenever you get this tag, let me know. I’d like to get assistance with Venom. Do I need a format to give you?

[grizzled lodge]

okay let me know how it goes!

make sure you work on that awareness a little bit

its your only real downfall other than the ults

[grizzled lodge]

hi! I do any and all supports, for tank I do mag, strange, emma, and peni (mag isn't listed for me, I need to add it to my profile), for dps I can do spidey, magik, storm, hela, and a couple others that I don't have listed that I need to add

if you want help with any of those I can help after I do qiqiz vod reviews

[jagged flare]

Magik nd spidey would be cool

I always wanted to learn spidey but I forget to put in the time in for him, nd my magik is lowkey kinda washed rn I just dropped out oaa

[grizzled lodge]

uhhhh

if you were oaa I'm not sure if you need my advice

but if you want to send me a replay I can take a look later if another pathfinder doesnt help you first

[jagged flare]

It was joke on the magik (i am a lil washed) but for fr i wanna learn spidey nd never get around to seriously learn him

I feel like game sense isn’t something I’d struggle with it’s more of like combos and mechanics and stuff

[grizzled lodge]

ah

you might want to find a different pathfinder if you want to learn specific comboes and things like that instead of game sense/when to use certain comboes, etc

[jagged flare]

Alright i appreciate it anyways. Spidey seems so complicated but he also looks so fun to play

[grizzled lodge]

yeah he is

if you play a game and want me to vod review it and I can give you specific pointers for your gameplay

but I don't believe I am good enough at all his comboes to fully teach you how to play the character

[jagged flare]

That’s fair. How do I find a spidey path finder I’m not really sure how to use this system

[grizzled lodge]

hi! you can go to #meet-the-pathfinder and type in /pathfinder, click the option that pops up, and type in "spiderman", select it, and hit enter

it'll show you all the spiderman pathfinders

you can also just ask here and give a detailed description of what you'd like to learn/if you want a live coaching session or not and wait for somebody to respond

[jagged flare]

Alright thank you

[heavy dove]

Hi! I think other PF decided to take the request but I can do them all if you still want me to do them.

Edit: I will do the Invis one and they’ll do Emma!

[jagged flare]

@red lance hey can you help me learn spiderman I saw you through the path finder system

[void fern]

Oh yes pls since you already reviewed one of my games as invis

[swift crypt]

[void fern]

All emma games since @heavy dove is reviewing invis :D thx again guys

[stark furnace]

heyooo, if you want help with magik I posted a guide earlier that I can link for you. or would you like some specific type of advice?

[red lance]

hi! what were u looking to improve on?

[jagged flare]

Ngl the basics. Ima eternity/ OAA player that plays dps (mostly magik) so game sense I can adapt to quickly. But I always wanted to learn spiderman and I just need help on what combos to learn and how or where to find combo guides, and the best way to practice/ sens. I know how to bunny hop on him (kinda inconsistent at it I sometimes mess it up and go nowhere) and I know the web zip cancel. But yea basically I’m not sure how to implement the combos and how to practice and dk the combos themselves the only one I somewhat know is the sekkombo but even then I suck at pulls

I wanna learn spiderman cuz he seems so fun but I suck at him

[noble yew]

damn, where’s the person with my review

[red lance]

heres some general spidey tips to get u started, its gonna take a minute to get the mechanics and movement down but thats applicanble to any character!:

im not sure if this is what u meant by web zip cancel, but if you haven’t already, you can put a keybind on easy swing: doing that will make it so u can simply tap that keybind then ur next m1 will automatically be a downslam. you can also use the easy swing to animation cancel your uppercut (make sure you hear the sound of impact before tapping the keybind, id practice this in the range for a bit to get used to it). you can also cancel ur m1 animation with a web cluster, but again, remember to listen for the impact sound first. you could use the double jump to get that down slam but it puts u higher in the air and u end up having to wait a second for ur character to model to fall before u can land the down slam, which in turn gives the enemy an extra second to react to you and shoot at you/be healed, etc

because spidey’s dmg is so lacking compared to other heroes, you need to be more picky with your engagements, hence why i find its best to sometimes play him along with the team. this means u won’t always solo kill an enemy with some extravagant combo, but helping your team secure kills when someone they’re fighting is within range of that for you. im not sure if you’ve learned how to do the pull but you can use that to displace someone from the enemy team into your own which is a great way to get them focused.

if peeling is getting in your way, try to single out the person you’re intending to dive as much as possible. watch and wait for them to use any cc abilities, ensure that they have used their cooldowns to give u a window long enough to dive in
making use of the chaos in team fights to get your picks is also greatly recommended since all the movement will make it harder for you to be noticed and reacted to. even, if you ARE reacted to, it’s drawing attention away from your frontline and giving them a chance to push up and win the team fight :]

divers in general are best at breaking up the enemy team. if they aren’t peeling, that’s you being able to take out their backline. if they are, that’s giving your own team space to push through their frontline. it’s best to remember to not get too greedy and instead play as more of an assassin character, lying in wait, then swinging in when you see someone on their own

knowing the maps, health pack locations, and rollouts are some pretty good things to have down [though rollouts aren’t necessary] learning maps can help you figure out where you want to position yourself for a pull or while lying in wait!

getting into the habit of attaching a web tracer to anyone before hitting them with an m1/uppercut will increase ur damage by a lot so try to commit that to muscle memory! the key with spidey combos is getting into the habit of going through each step quickly enough that the enemy party doesn’t have time to react.

if you're struggling with landing web tracers, this might be more of a niche tip but when aiming, try to aim for toward the slight right of people rather than the left, bc of the perspective in rivals, aiming slightly toward the right is more likely to hit than aiming slightly to the left

scaring healers into using their ults or forcing them to separate by giving some slight chase is also still getting value! as long as you mess with the enemy teams healing, you’re helping your own team

for triple support, you want to get your picks off separated players or manually separate them yourself

regarding your ult, if you're able to, try and pair it with another person on your team, keep track of which ults the enemy has vs what theyre using

if the supports are solely keeping an ult for you, then make note of who it is and focus on them with regular combos, try to force their ult, you'll have a window to be able to ult afterward

[red lance]

regarding combos here you go, these are some simple combos you could try that works for other low hp chars, js be aware that u dont need to follow each combo to a T and its perfectly fine to make ur own mix of moves!

Web Cluster - Get Over Here - Amazing Combo - Web Cluster - Melee/Downward Slam.

web tracer, pull to you, m1/primary, web tracer, uppercut

pull, web cluster, uppercut, web cluster, downward slam, downward slam

web cluster, pull, m1/primary immediately animation cancel with a web cluster, uppercut.

and again, when it comes to tanks or situations where u dont think u can remember the exact pattern of a combo, you should try freehanding ur own mix of moves with ur own combos! just remember to keep track of your resources/cooldowns so you dont strand yourself!

also for ur pull, remember the pull range is 20m!

if ur struggling to aim it, you can definitely try raising ur sensitivity to turn around faster and maybe adjust ur reticle to something u can aim better with

when doing the uppercut part of the bhop pull, you can animation cancel the uppercut! you want to very quickly tap the swing button and immediately after follow with the pull button [you have to be quick enough that you're almost tapping both at the same time]
this should give u an extra moment or two to start turning ur camera around earlier

u should also note that ur pull is a projectile so aim it slightly above since the web will fall slightly as you zip past

[grizzled lodge]

which hero are you looking for?

[noble yew]

invisible woman

[grizzled lodge]

could you reply to the original message?

I can do it after im done with this emma review

[noble yew]

.

[grizzled lodge]

someone already did it

just scroll down and look for the msg from wickedwizard

[muted spire]

doesnt look like it got done

[grizzled lodge]

I saw it earlier and I scrolled down a bunch and there was a review

thats why I didnt take it myself

[stark furnace]

i'm not seeing the message from wizard either

[grizzled lodge]

oh ykw

I saw

the one I saw was for a different invis

[stark furnace]

lmao

[grizzled lodge]

nvm @noble yew I'll take it when im done the current one im doing for emma

[stark furnace]

can i take it off your hands

havent done a sue review yet

[grizzled lodge]

assuming a different pathfinder doesnt do it first

[grizzled lodge]

yes

[stark furnace]

yahoo

[winter sparrow]

either ananzi or i could do it if you're busy

[stark furnace]

i call dibs

[muted spire]

if you want to vod review it im sure they are more than happy for multiple opinions

[winter sparrow]

alrighttt

[stark furnace]

lets check if wizard did it, because they did react to his original message

[muted spire]

he did not, i checked

[jagged flare]

Yea I struggled with landing tracers I totally forgot that rivals has weird hitboxes so I should be aiming to the right. Also I did map manual swing and easy swing For canceling the uppercut pull you mean doing an easy swing and the pull at almost the same time? I feel like when I tried that I ended up zipping to the ground but maybe I wasn’t fast enough clicking the pull button. Also last thing when I play Spiderman I feel like I have an issue swinging and getting to the enemies. Idk if that makes sense but I’ll try to swing to someone to downslam or uppercut and completely over shoot it or under do it and I end up dying. I just feel like I’m not good with his swings and can’t close the distance good enough.
(Also what’s the best to to practice him should I just spam qp or is it worth spending time in the practice range to get his combos down)

[stark furnace]

mkay i'm on it then

[red lance]

lovely! for cancelling uppercut to do the pull, dont use easy swing, use manual, then immediately follow up with the pull

as for the swinging, thats just going to take time to learn, theres no easy way to magically get better at his swinging or movement, just like aiming, it needs practice and work. id focus on learning that right now rather than ur combos since thats the most important part of his kit. spidey's entire playstyle is based on his movement

i would say start off in the practice range to get a feel for the movement and change around keybinds to what ur comfortable with, then try going for a few practice vs ai matches. the ai in those matches automatically tracks u which means u kinda have to play around them a bit, its a small challenge but easy enough for u to work on ur movement and engages, from there id shift into QP

[spark dagger]

Can I please get a review for this? Like what was I supposed to do here? There’s a Thor on me the entire first round, Namor is banned, so black cat is roaming around freely, and I can’t even see her, and when I do I have nothing I can do to her, Bucky doesn’t have a ground anymore that nerf was so dumb with how strong dive is and only Namor and thing to stop it.

Now I haven't watched this yet so I can't say for certain but one thing I've learned from my friend who has I believe 140 hours on black panther when your getting dived by any character and don't have thing or namor best options are to peek at areas where they tend to be just so u can let your team know they are about to dive another option is to play with your tanks or supports and lastly save some sort of cooldown for them whatever gives the best chance of survival is best to use

First thing I've noticed is you let yourself stay on low health a lot but your positioning so far is good

Another thing I noticed is there was a time when hela was getting attack at the side of your team and the rest of your team was in front of you my recommendation would be to instead of focusing your primary on her just throw your shield on her and focus your primary on the frontline of your team

[grizzled lodge]

I'll give a detailed review on this in a minute when im done this emma vod review

unless somebody else gives you a review you're satisfied with before im done

[wind crest]

You are playing her very well there's not much I've noticed that's a major problem just minor things like throwing your shield to a teammate who's out to the side of you and saving your push for if your getting dived although u did do that a decent amount so well done

[stark furnace]

on it

[proud hill]

Wouldn’t mind multiple reviews

[grizzled lodge]

okay just give me a little bit

[proud hill]

I thought I was really bad that game

[grizzled lodge]

I'm on an emma review rn and I have two games, I just finished one

[proud hill]

Alrighty

[wind crest]

No I'd say your performance was rather good I very much appreciate the moving up with the team and keeping everyone up

[grizzled lodge]

@void fern these are all timestamps for the first game you had on emma, I am typing up the overall review for the first game right now, feel free to read these as I type of the review

I'll get started on the second game after im done the overview for this game

[void fern]

Oh yesss, tbh those two games i sent are kinda bad cuz i lost them and as i said i was panic grabbing as emma and missing lol but yeah ill keep asking for help with emma/invis

[void fern]

okayyy thx

[proud hill]

I felt my aim was terrible and my usage on cooldowns

[wind crest]

Your aim was fine in my opinion usage of cooldowns was good but not perfect although I don't expect anyone's to be especially in a high stress situation such as comp I'd just work on using that shield to heal people that are away from your team and if you or someone else is about to get ulted you can swap it over to them real quick

[proud hill]

I wanted to start flexing

Felt like that was holding me back from getting back to eternity

[wind crest]

Flexing as in playing different characters?

[proud hill]

Nah like playing the healer role and not jus playing dps healer

[winter sparrow]

i can do a detailed review for you in about an hour if you'd like if you're wanting multiple reviews

[proud hill]

Bet

[wind crest]

Aaaa gotchu no I think you did a good mix of healing and dps I feel you prioritized keeping everyone up very well and squeezing a bit of damage in here or there

The only thing I'd say is probably should have used your push or on iron fist although I'm not super proficient in invis so I can't confirm how well that would work

[proud hill]

Yea I’m jus used to play dps and tank so ig I put that into playing healer sometimes

[grizzled lodge]

heres the overview

this is all just for game one

ill start on game two now

[paper lily]

hi

[muted spire]

whats up

[grizzled lodge]

@void fern I'm watching the second game right now

and its just the same thing

[proud hill]

@winter sparrow do you think you can also review a rouge game for me

It’s only 1 half of a match

[void fern]

Omg tysm, I struggle a lot on solo tank, because idk what to do, if they have someone diving in my backline, i dont know if should peel, and give up the pressure i was making on the frontline, or trust my dps or someone else to peel

[grizzled lodge]

thats understandable, solo tanking has a lot of micro decisions

[void fern]

Oh okok

[paper lily]

can you sugg DPI for mouse

[grizzled lodge]

when you're solo tanking

you cannot go back and give up space

you're gonna have to comm to your team

and get your dps to peel

unless your team isnt pushed up with you

[prisma granite]

Typically when it comes to solo tanking, its rough when it comes to deciding but unfortunately you mostly have to rely on your dps (assuming its tripple dps) to cover the areas that youd normally cover in a 2 tank comp

[grizzled lodge]

then its okay to go back

if your entire team is farther back

[winter sparrow]

sure i can do that! just send the replay code and ill get on it after the invis review

@winter sparrow I do have stick drift what setting should I change

[stark furnace]

deadzone in advanced sensitivity settings

[winter sparrow]

specifically eye-gaze targeting minimum input deadzone as this affects how far your stick has to move before registering movement

your maximum is the outer deadzone , meaning how far towards the edge it has to move to give you your max sens movement

[proud hill]

Hello! First of all tell me how can I help you, do you need advices in general or you have a vod for me? :3

[willow wraith]

What's Psylocke's playstyle? I'm assuming she's a dive character but I wanna know if there's anything different/specific about her

[safe pawn]

I’m EST so it’s so late but I wanted to know in general the best way to play him. I feel like it’s pure chaos playing him but I love it! I’ll look for a vod later today for you!

[deep sorrel]

Alright, I'm gonna write down some basic tips for Venom and paste them here tagging you! Unfortunately I'm on EU timezone 🙁 but I'm sure we can work this out ❤️

[harsh mortar]

So she’s a mix of dive/poke. her main focus is to take off angles and distract the enemy backline and get picks while keeping herself safe with cooldown management and dashes. You can dive their backline to exploit a lone support or a low health target and you can also stay back from a bit of a distance to shoot at them to get them to look at you while your team takes advantage of their distraction. She’s a very rewarding character to learn and master :) I can give you any specific info of her kit or more information of her playstyle

@proven pelican or anyone else
My first ult in this game was a mistake tho

[willow wraith]

Is she kind of like a flank Hela then? I would love any more info you can give me cuz I have no idea how to apply her in games

[harsh mortar]

Eh kinda? You’re much more close to your target to be able to hit all 5 of your shuriken from your primary fire. It’s essentially a shotgun. You can def poke a bit more back but since the spread is more out you won’t be doing max damage. The fun thing about her is her combo potential and her tank shredding. She has very high damage (in some cases one shot) combos and if you shoot your primary at a tank it shreds them. The main thing about her is how each one of her shuriken from her primary fire reduces her abilities’ cooldowns by 0.3 seconds each (a total of 1.5 seconds if you hit all 5) of you manage to land your shots. Your cooldowns will refresh very frequently allowing you to dash around, go invisible, and finish off enemies with your right click very often. Her damage potential is very high if you hit your shots, have opportune timing, and have good positioning

[willow wraith]

So is she more of a tank buster then? Sorry the multiple aspects confuse me a little. I assume she's a more mid range character from what you're saying. Could you give basic positioning/playstyle tips or combos please?

Sorry for the chain questions btw Ik you're typing a lot 😭

[harsh mortar]

Of course. Didn’t mean to confuse you she’s not a tank buster directly, but her damage potential to shred tanks is there if she’s landing her shots. Shes very much a flanker and can poke with her team to help push out. So normally you play her off angles. You find a spot that gives you a view of the enemy backline and start poking at them with your primary and right click. This softens them up so that you can you can go in finish the low health targets and then get out very quickly. So your bread and butter combo would be your primary fire (m1) into your winged shuriken (m2) immediately followed by recalling them (pressing m2 again) and then following up with primary fire again (m1) its very simple to get this basic combo down and does a lot of damage. You can also add a dash in there to add more damage. For example primary fire (m1) + initial activation of winged shuriken (m2) + primary fire again (m1) + and psi-blade dash to finish it off. Your dash recalls the shuriken automatically so you don’t need to recall them in the combo. Making you do more damage in a shorter window of time. You can typically kill 250 hp targets with this and 275 if you can land some of your primary fire on the head

[harsh mortar]

You’re good! :) I am happy to help. Specially if they might be a new Psylocke main. She’s very fun and I love playing her.

[willow wraith]

Tyty, when you talk about her playstyle is it better to finish them off closer and run or stay farther back, since her attacks feel more ranged? And does your team comp/enemy comp influence your playstyle choices in any significant way?

[harsh mortar]

With her, she’s very skilled at poking down the enemy first before going in for the kill to finish them and escaping with your second dash/invisibility. so you normally start off from mid range, and then once they get low enough, you go in to finish them before getting away. Team comp wise it normally doesn’t affect my choice of playing with the exception of Loki or white fox. You have to be much more careful when facing those two as for Loki, his runes can straight counter your ult as your ult doesn’t target them. Even if he doesn’t have lamps, he can spread out the damage of your ultimate by adding more clones to the mix causing some of your strikes to be wasted on them. For white fox, she’s a very strong anti dive support. You have to bait out her melee form and wait it out before engaging as she can keep up with your damage and ruin your combos while also keeping up her other support. Dps wise, if she’s facing a Bucky or a punisher, you have to be more selective of your times to go in because one shotgun blast from punisher or a grab from Bucky and you’re done. Tank wise the only two I really worry about are thing and Thor. For Thor, he is one of the best 1v1 tanks in the game and has very high damage output. He can easily kill you if you get overconfident. For thing, his ground slam really limits your escape options if you decide to go in and might trap you in the middle of their team. I know on my team I’m very happy to see a cloak and dagger because of the current team up. It’s a very powerful tool by giving you yet another escape option by the way of fading

[willow wraith]

Wow tysm, are there any other miscellaneous tips/tricks you recommend?

[harsh mortar]

I highly recommend that you first learn to do the simple bread and butter combo (m1 -> m2 + m2 -> m1) before doing the dash one as the dash one while it may secure kills more often, also puts you right into the heat of the battle. Also, get into the habit of using your winged shuriken (m2) as soon as it’s available as your primary fire will get it off cooldown very often. Since you’re just starting to learn her, save your dashes and invisibility for escapes instead of engages. Once you’re more comfortable, start adding them into your playstyle. I’m normally on during the day so you can ping me if you’d like more information. She can be a very potent dps. Just remember that it’ll take some time to get used to her unique playstyle. Remember, always have fun! If you ever get stuck on anything or need help visualizing her combos lmk. I should be able to hop on tomorrow for longer time to show you her combos real time.

Hey, I have written down some basics and tips for Venom! Since it's quite long Wall of Text, I'm going to attach this small vademecum as an .md file so you can read it in your own time. I think I have covered the essentials of the character, if you have questions, doubts, anything, feel free to reach me when you want/can and when I have time I'll answer! Thanks for your patience and sorry for the timezone difference 😛

• Also I forgot to mention that when you want to aim with your primary fire, you shouldn't position your crosshair towards the head, but more around higher torso or neck of the character, that's how you can maximize the possibility to land headshots.

[elder ravine]

That is a nice summary for a beginner like me, thank you!
I did not even know that Venom has a melee attack 😅

[deep sorrel]

Every hero has a melee option! On some can be overlapped with their primary fire (Like Wolverine for example or Fantastic)

Someone help

NERF BLACK CAT, I'm a support main struggling because of her

[raven knot]

okay so from what i see from that vod your aim and your positioning are both generally pretty good, and i love the aggressive playstyle which i encourage for all luna players
the first big criticism i have is the snowflake usage. Luna's self flake is really powerful and should be used often, but keeping it entirely on yourself especially in situations where tanks are low or you have divers is not utilizing your kit to its fullest potential; you'd get ult significantly faster if you started implementing flaking people during the times that youre actively healing
your snowballs are used at good times (when youre being dove) but you have to start using your teamup with white fox. it's basically a second snowball that you can use when its on cooldown and you're not using it almost at all. I think thats the main ability usage thing that you need to work on, is remembering that you have a teamup that's really powerful (i used to struggle with this too a lot)
your ult timings are overall not bad but as i mentioned earlier, you'd get your ult faster to save yourself from death if you implemtned rotating your snowballs around. I'd also put in a note about your positioning where sometimes you walk up very aggressively and in front of your tanks, which makes it harder for your other support to heal you. I'd be careful of that, but don't stop being aggressive! it's the biggest strength luna has over any of the other main supports nowadays
overall i think you're doing pretty good on luna, its mostly the snowflake rotation that I think you should fix :)

[raven knot]

true

[dusty creek]

Do you use a high sens for Psy?

[frank monolith]

Thank you! I forget the snowflake really exists at all, I try to keep it on tanks or divers but when they die/I die I forget to put it back on them. Super helpful, I'll just constantly remind myself team-ups exist and snowflake ult charge 💔

[raven knot]

you should keep it on yourself a lot if youre being aggressive, but just remember for those moments where youre actively only healing (of which there are a lot) putting snowflake on the people you're healing makes the healing faster and lets you get back to being aggressive quicker

Hello, ive been playing gambit in qp the past few days to get better at him and im wondering about how/when i should use certian cards,
the current way i usemy cards is that i always try to have a healing card drawn becase it lets me get away with not really playing cover well and if my tanks get low i can use bridge boost to heal them faster with the 15% bonus, i sometimes try to start a teamfight with just drawing a damage card so i can get some damage out beucase in theory my tanks shouldnt be super low at the start, but then if they are i have to throw away my damage card and im all out of cards after i use bridgeboost to heal them.

when should i use bridge barrage and the damage deck abilities? ive been using explosive trick on whitefox ult to make it selfheal less and also when 1v1ing supports becuase almost all supports have self healing, but im not entirely sure how to use his other abilities correctly.

[pearl dagger]

is there ant hitscan pathfinder here or star lord i have a random question

[raven knot]

this is a really good psylocke game! grats on your win, you hard carried your team lol
in general, you're playing psylocke pretty well the way she should be played, as an off-angle flanker. The main things that you make somewhat consistent mistakes on are your engage timings and ability usages.

1. Psylocke's teamup is basically a second invisibility, but there are a few key distinctions. it's like a one-person cloak fade, meaning that while it's more difficult for enemies to see you, they're still able to. Another thing is that you don't take any damage during it, and you also don't get the speed boost that the normal invisbility gives. These distinctions make it an excellent tool for disengaging rather than engaging. A lot of the times I see you using the teamup before you start shooting at people, and that's probably not the best way to use it. They can still see you coming, and while they can't damage you they'll be able to track you. Using it for disengaging makes it so that they can't hit you at all while you leave the fight.
2. Speed boost on the invis is really strong because it lets you get very close to the enemy without them seeing you coming at all. Psylocke's strength lies in the burst combo that's able to pull off when close to a target. A lot of the times I see you engage, you start shooting at enemies from a distance that makes it hard to kill them very quickly. Sometimes it might seem daunting to push up into a squishie's face to start attacking them, but oftentimes it'll net you the most kills if your aiming is pretty good (and from what I see, I think you do have the aim to pull this off consistently)
3. You oftentimes use two dashes to engage and run out of cooldowns, which is pretty much the only reason you ever die in the replay that you provided. The first thing to fix here is to stop using two dashes to engage, instead always using 0 or 1, sometimes combined with the invisibility (this mostly depends on if you have the teamup to get out or not). An important thing to know about Psylocke is that when she hits shots on enemies, the cooldowns for her abilities decrease. You get to use them faster afterwards. While you have the playstyle of psylocke down in terms of off-angling and flanking, and your flanks are overall pretty solid, this "constant dive" playstyle with psylocke will work less and less the higher you climb. It's hard to constantly be doing that and manage your cooldowns if youre only bursting targets to kill. I'd recommend. in off-times, to not be afraid to stand main and shoot at their tanks. This will give your dashes back so you can return to safer engages, while simulatenously putting pressure on the enemy tanks. Engaging and having 0 dashes with 7 seconds on cooldown till your next one is the only reason you die here, and the higher you go and the more supports heal each other, the more dps and tanks peel and shoot (essentially, the less likely it is you have a successful engage) the more difficult it will be to maintain this playstyle. Yes, psylocke is a flanker. Doesn't mean you have to be in their backline 100% of the time, and you shouldn't be afraid to fall back and let your cooldowns regenerate.
   Overall though, I think you hvae really good potential on psylocke! good luck and let me know if you need anything clarified, im not sure if what i typed is super digestible

[raven knot]

yeah shoot

[pearl dagger]

im planning to buy a mouse and like looking for suggestions from a hit scan players

[raven knot]

gambit's cards take FOREVER to recharge, so a lot of the times you will run out if you're constantly drawing hearts. bridge boost is great but ideally should be used for when everyone on your team has taken some damage from something, i.e. your tanks are being shot at the same time you're being dived, or your team just got hit with a phoenix shockwave. you dont constantly have to be bridge boosting your team.
flush card can help you deal lots of damage, but i wouldnt recommend using it to start the fight when youre behind your whole team. realistically youre not doing a lot of damage to anyone important (probably their backline) since you're so far away, and gambit doesn't really deal that much super long range damage. bidding barrage honestly doesnt have a lot of use cases, except for like the one specific scenario where there are like three dives on you, but you should be saving your dash right click combos and right clicks in general for pattycake so you shouldnt ever really need to use F+E. I think the vast majority of F+E cases are better solved by just pattycaking with bridge boost.
F+F on whitefox is great, i'd actually recommend using this pretty frequently and playing aggressively as gambit (i almost exclusively use F+F when I ult, in 1v1s, and in situations where both teams have support ulted to try and kill somebody through theirs). F+F is your main aggro tool on gambit, just make sure youre not overusing it if they have a phoenix or someone shredding your tanks

[raven knot]

i use a glorious model o and I think it's a really great mouse, super light, just be aware the wire wears out pretty fast so you should try to use it without the wire as much as possible

[pearl dagger]

i was planning to get a glorious model o too but its wired i think

[raven knot]

honestly i used the original wired one for a very long time and didn't really have that many issues with it, but the new wireless ones the charging cable really does wear out fast

i think if you manage it properly by keeping it neat it should last for a good few years + you can get wire only replacements for way cheaper than mouse cost

it took my original mouse, like actual mouse, something like 4 and a half years for the right click to get somewhat jammed

because i used to play minecraft bedwars a lot and i would drag click on it 😂

[next flare]

im not constantly drawing heart cards im only re-drawing it once the healing buff runs out and the card recharges about as fast as the healing over time buff lasts so im not spamming bridge boosting, i only boost if my tanks are low.

[pearl dagger]

i used to use bloody a60 but mine broke down 2 days ago after using it for 2 year cuz my sister smashed it for not helping her

[raven knot]

😭

[pearl dagger]

i brought it for the same reason minecraft drag clicking and was using it for rivals too

i dont want to get the same one because its heavy

[raven knot]

yeah the model o is incredibly light

[pearl dagger]

okay thanks for the reply

[raven knot]

thats fine! but i do think keeping the healing buff up constantly takes more resources than you need

it gives the buff for 6 seconds but it takes 8 seconds to recharge, meaning if you keep it up the whole time youre going to be down cards after a long fight, maybe ones that you needed to cleanse or to be aggressive

i think in general using F+F to be aggro on their backline at the right time is way more valuable than constantly keeping up hearts

[next flare]

but woudln't it be more beneficial to pre-draw from the hearts deck before your tanks need bridge boost so your cards have more time to charge, becuase if you start the recharge earlier you would end up with about 2.5-3 cards rather than 2 after bridging

[chilly lance]

how do i get better at killing squishies w psylocke? i feel like if i get in close enough to be hitting all of my pellets i get melted but should i be?

[next flare]

also is there any guide for what ults gambit can clence with purifying pickup? i think it works against venom and groot, and maybe agnela? idk

[raven knot]

when I play gambit, I usually start off by drawing hearts and then immediately looking for a position where i can F+F their backline. if there's an opportunity to do that and maybe kill a dps or squishy i do. if there isnt, or i need to boost, then i do. after that I just repeat the cycle

[chilly lance]

i think it works on anything except exile?

[raven knot]

i agree at the beginning of every fight you should be ideally drawing hearts immediately

i just dont think you should be trying to upkeep hearts the entire fight

and always saving two for cleanse is important too

[raven knot]

primarily you should save cleanse for big tank ults

venom you can cleanse the antiheal but its not absolutely necessary

actually sometimes i find it more beneficial to boost

strange, groot, angela, thing are the big ones you need to be cleansing most of the time

you can also cleanse bucky

[sly fern]

U cleanse the grasp no point of cleansing the the anti heal

Also add Emma

[raven knot]

work on your engage timings

ideally you engage them when theyre forced to look front or at someone else

also save your dashes! this is crucial

[chilly lance]

mm okay that’s good to know

[raven knot]

use 0-1 dash + maybe invis to get up close to them without them having much time to react

and then always have 1-2 dashes and maybe invis to get out

[next flare]

thannks for the advive ill try to think more about this when i play today

[chilly lance]

so should i be shooting tanks? or just diving? or like a combo

[raven knot]

that'll help you stay alive and keep your uptime

the ideal gameplay loop for psylocke is getting in and getting out, and then playing main for a bit shooting tanks to get your cooldowns back

once you get your cooldowns back you do your flank again

[chilly lance]

okay so i should dive first

[raven knot]

its fine to put pressure on their tanks for a bit and look for an opportunity to dive

[chilly lance]

pretty similar to iron fist then

[raven knot]

it all really depends on the situation

kinda, but psylocke doesnt really have many options when someone starts looking at her

so you really want to be sure the enemy doesnt know where youre at

[chilly lance]

i’m an iron fist main so that at least i understand - mm good to know

[raven knot]

iron fist you can block

psylocke you can kinda just run away and thats it

thats so real

[chilly lance]

i just find poke so so boring :(

[raven knot]

in my opinion star lord is pretty good right now

[sly fern]

Starlord is fun aswell as psy

[raven knot]

he's got a lot of similarities to if and hes practically psy in the sky

[raven knot]

lol same idea

[chilly lance]

i’m sticking to one character at a time but sl is a character i’d be interested in trying but i do like psylocke’s design better

which is one of the reasons im trying to play her lol

star lord kinda ugly

[white rain]

DAMN

[raven knot]

wowow

dont diss my goat twin

[chilly lance]

that’s why i started learning iron fist he’s a beautiful man

[sly fern]

Just have good positioning and ur good at psy there’s nothing more

[raven knot]

oh an aim tip for psylocke is to look at the upper mid chest of everyone except for tanks who you should be looking at their head

[white rain]

this is such a real statement actually i can’t even hate. i main characters bc i think they’re hot too

[chilly lance]

good to know! i have been carrying all the qp games i’ve been playing with her im just scared of taking her into comp

[chilly lance]

hell yeah that’s why i play strange and invis and not like gambit (sorry)

[raven knot]

three seasons ago i was playing thor on an alt and i was scared to bring him into comp for like an entire season, and when i finally did i was literally better at him than my mains

sometimes the best practice you can get on a character is just playing them in your rank and seeing how it goes

[chilly lance]

loll that’s so real

[sly fern]

I lowkey just go straight into comp on any new character

[chilly lance]

my iron fist is definitely my best character but i have had that happen when i learned like strange bc he’s easy

[raven knot]

thats bold i could never

[chilly lance]

although i would appreciate a vod review of my gp on him if anyone would so i can improve

[flat turtle]

Which ranked are you?

[sly fern]

Eternity, But I do that on my cel alt

[raven knot]

send it! do you prefer text or voice

[chilly lance]

text if that works! lemme just find a good vod would you prefer one where i did kinda bad or one where i did better and how long of a game

[sly fern]

Even or bad games show it the best

[raven knot]

as long as it gets, ideally one where you think you did about an average performance for you in your opinion

[chilly lance]

okay sounds good!

man my rivals is taking forever to open

[raven knot]

lol mine never loads

it always gives me some error code the first time around

[chilly lance]

that damn error code 10

[raven knot]

RIGHT? lmao

one time it made me reload it like 10 times

got fed up with it and verified all my files

and it still error coded

[vital coral]

With what %average accuracy if I may ask?

[sly fern]

Like 49 or 52

[vital coral]

Very high

[chilly lance]

ok i finally found a good replay i think

[scenic dock]

Glad to see you improve ! If you need help on vanguard that I play i will definitly help you , and for strategist , im sure a specialized pathfinder will help you

[vital coral]

With her i try to shoot supports but i feel im just not good enough because i cant kill them with just 4 shots, i always Miss one at least, even after 35 Hours with her…

[chilly lance]

my ign is Nadiii__ and the replay id is 10622987804 this game i got svp but i totally could have done better

@raven knot sorry for the ping just making sure you saw this

[sly fern]

Something that made it easier for me to shoot back is just get high ground

[raven knot]

oh yeah sorry im watching

shoulda let u know

[vital coral]

After how many Hours you become good with her aim?

[sly fern]

Idk I play also diff hit scan so the aim just comes with time

[vital coral]

Do you have too bad days where you just cant land shots?

[sly fern]

only when i boot the game for like the first 3 matches

i never do warm up so thats when it horrid

[sly fern]

gimme 5min and i cna give u my avg on of the ppl i play

[knotty spire]

can anyone vod two of my recent matches on elsa and help me improve with tips and tricks for her?

[sly fern]

tank pool 50, hela 51, namor 48, phonix 51, psy 46, puni 44, star, 42, bucky 48

[chilly lance]

that’s why ur eternity and i’m not lol

[vital coral]

All very high. Can i ask you how long have you been playing Rivals or other shooter?

[raven knot]

your general ability usage and stuff on fist is good which i obviously expect from a fist main

[sly fern]

dont worry i still have 150h on fist

[raven knot]

i think the main issue that you have is your knowledge of the gamestate

[chilly lance]

mmhm

[raven knot]

you dont really turn around and look to see where your team is at very often

[chilly lance]

mm

[raven knot]

iron fist is not so much of a pick character as he is what id like to call an "advantage pusher"- characters like wolverine or hawkeye for example live to kill someone at the beginning of the fight to give their team an advantage. iron fist can do that, but imo he excels much more at taking a small advantage and turning it into a really big one

[chilly lance]

yes i totally get that

[sly fern]

i played apex val fortnite cod cs ow and i got like 600h on rivals

[raven knot]

in order to take full advantage of that fact you should be waiting to see when your team has a bit of momentum

for example in this game you had a thor and a venom pretty much the entire game

but i only really saw you dive with the venom once or twice

[vital coral]

Ok lol that may have helped your aim, Rivals is my first shooter game

[raven knot]

waiting for your tank to engage can net you way more kills than going in early, burning all your cooldowns, and leaving the fight before your venom can even get there

[chilly lance]

yeah i don’t use voice comms which doesn’t help

[raven knot]

even if you dont use comms, just watching and waiting for your venom to dive first and then going in during his dive is helpful

the good part of being a dive dps instead of a dive tank is that you dont really need to comm so much as you need to watch where the other guy is going

[chilly lance]

okay good to know - i think like having restraint with my dives is a big thing for me to work on

[raven knot]

i also think

yes

thats exactly what i was gonna say

[sly fern]

had to hop of EU bc no one talks there

[raven knot]

you shouldnt be afraid to have a little bit of downtime

sometimes you just go in randomly on a magik with a loki next to them and try to 1v2

no reason to do that

[chilly lance]

mmhm

[raven knot]

disengage, keep your cooldowns, wait for a better opportunity

also make sure youre going in every single time your entire team is pushing up

[tough locust]

@gilded cloak may you help me with the combos for black panther?
I've been only been playing healers yet i find it more fun to dive and i basically have little to no experience with bp

[raven knot]

very often i see you in their backline when your team is backing up or dead

[chilly lance]

mmhm

[raven knot]

a lot of that is your teams fault, but also you should be trying your best to align it better

their hulk was causing massive problems in your backline this game, and a lot of the time you were diving them instead of peeling

watching your team and watching when your team has the advantage to push, and when your team needs to fall back and regroup can help you with that

also target priority, if theres a healer and a dps id almost never engage the dps first

[chilly lance]

mmhm okay that’s good to know unfortunately guides only really got me good with mechanics and cooldown usage and whatnot

[raven knot]

all of those you seem pretty good at

the gamesense part sorta comes from playing a lot and recognizing what works and what doesnt

[chilly lance]

thank you! i like to think so

[raven knot]

i think youd have much more success if you just followed your tank and werent afraid of a little downtime here and there

[chilly lance]

okay that’s good to know! i’m afraid of playing brawl fist because with bad healers it just does not work so ty for the dive fist tips

i mean i like to mix it up ofc but it’s harder to carry a team on more brawl fist

[raven knot]

i agree completely

id recommend peeling a little bit more though

dont necessarily have to peel for dps all the time but fist is pretty damn good at peeling tanks because of the percentage damage

[chilly lance]

okay yeah that’s good to know - i think this game was worse for me with that but yeah

[raven knot]

again that sorta goes with the downtime thing

[sly fern]

ur not peeling bp or magik on fist sad reality

[raven knot]

you can peel in your downtime since it really doesnt take cooldowns

[raven knot]

this is facts but you can definitely force a venom or a hulk out of your backline early

[chilly lance]

maybe bp but magik by urself is a death sentence lol

[sly fern]

u do not win bp ones

only his he messes up a mark

[raven knot]

oh also just a general tip

[chilly lance]

if the bp is half or whatever i can i don’t engage bps that are full

[raven knot]

stop trying to 1v1 a thor

LOL

as a thor main that will not fly i promise

[knotty spire]

@winter sparrow would it be fine if you help me understand and learn elsa bloodstone?

[lime viper]

Im doing ur review atm if u want me to help u

[chilly lance]

lolll that’s fair i get kinda greedy with my plays sometimes and think i can burst him down faster than he can burst me which is almost always not true

[knotty spire]

yea anything works im just tryna get feedback and learn

[lime viper]

Okie

[lime viper]

Let's start with forming a base line. What do u know abt elsa

[chilly lance]

do you have any tips for how to deal with white fox? i feel like i really really struggle against her

partially because white fox melee almost outheals iron fist ult but yeah

[raven knot]

fox is pretty much impossible to solo dive

that melee healing is ridiculous

[chilly lance]

it needs a nerf so badly LOL i play her a bit and its just ridiculous

[sly fern]

fox never needed buffs

[chilly lance]

i want an iron fist damage buff man

[knotty spire]

i know that i should be ult farming, playing front and back and working on an off angle when i max out her dash bar, i also know that i should be moving alot and disrupting tanks

[lime viper]

Okay do u know how to do that?

[raven knot]

id recommend just waiting for her tp cooldown or trying to force it out, and then just kinda waiting for any opportunity where shes half

[chilly lance]

maybe kick resets on kill or something

[knotty spire]

yeah i gotta get used doing that though

[chilly lance]

so if she peels for the other healer i just leave?

[sly fern]

buffing his m1 dmg is the only thing

[raven knot]

youre unfortunately not winning any fight where she tps

[lime viper]

that comes with time

im gonna review ur game and get back to u

[knotty spire]

Alr ty

[chilly lance]

also for cloak and dagger should i just only dive when they’ve already used bubble? bc it outheals m1 lol

[raven knot]

try to force out bubble and then get them yes

if theyve dropped bubble and there is literally anyone next to them you not killing them as fist

[chilly lance]

the sad truth

[winter sparrow]

if you’d like multiple reviews id be able to do it later tonight since i’ll be working most of the day today, totally up to you

otherwise Jt gotchu 🙂

[chilly lance]

who would you recommend i ban during ban phase? like is white fox a worth it ban or should i try to ban invis or what

[sly fern]

ya if u diving on fist ur looking for bad positioning of supports all the time

[sly fern]

dont ban for fist theres way to much thats just is better and still a counter

[raven knot]

when i play fist i actually kinda like playing against invis because the psionic vortex literally guarantees a full overshiedl block and most invis telegraph their moves very quick

and yeah that

but generally cloak is not a bad ban

white fox i wouldnt recommend banning just because any high damage dps destroys her

[chilly lance]

it’s more of like invis pull ruining my escapes and shield saving other supports

[raven knot]

i think this is an issue on the part of trying to dive supports who have cooldowns + are next to their other support

[chilly lance]

just ban meta picks then?

[raven knot]

you should really only be diving supports that have used their cooldowns or arent close to anyone at all

[chilly lance]

mm that’s very true

[raven knot]

yeah a lot of meta picks you dont want to face anyways so its better to just ban whats bad for everyone on your team

[chilly lance]

usually i just ban like gambit cloak and groot even though fist counters him he’s just so damn annoying for everyone else

[raven knot]

that seems pretty solid

[chilly lance]

sometimes phoenix and namor for the team up

[raven knot]

recommend working in phoenix or dd in there sometimes

but thats about it i think your ban list currently is very solid

[sly fern]

groot is free ult charge atleast

[chilly lance]

mm i need to learn dd but he just doesn’t feel as good as iron fist 💔💔

he’s just spam spam spam

[raven knot]

he's definitely the better character but i dont like playing him much either

i ban him whenever i play psy though cuz jesus

[pearl dagger]

sameee

[gilded cloak]

panthers bread & butter combo is to spear -> dash -> spear -> dash -> dash (hold down melee while doing the combo to potentially get in a melee hit or two mid combo), but theres more complexity to panther than just executing combos. If youre just picking him up, then start with trying to get used to landing spears into dashes to get your resets. from there you can look towards getting used to his mobility and movement, enemy tracking, vertical and horizontal camera tracking while dashing. youre gonna need to adjust your settings on panther a little differently than you would for other characters. find what feels comfortable with sensitivity. and dont feel discouraged, because it takes alot of practice, experience, and time to get used to the panther playstyle. for diving as panther you wanna find isolated targets and take them out, that means lots of waiting to find the right moment to dive in, and if you do mess up your dive for whatever reason you instantly retreat and wait for another moment to go in and try to get your combo off. in higher ranked lobbies that will be much harder to do, and you'll definitely need to rely on another dive to help out and take some of the attention off of you.

[winter sparrow]

don’t even get me started on that, i honestly prefer to just ban dd anyway

[chilly lance]

i mean he beats iron fist in 1v1s all the time

[pearl dagger]

been iron fist otp for so long he deserve a buff

[raven knot]

nah fax

i dont wanna play thing and hear my supps complain 24/7

[chilly lance]

the only reason i’m not anymore is because iron fist in triple dps comps just kinda sucks imo so i had to learn strange

[tough locust]

can i mark 2 enemies with a spear as black panther, then dash twice from the same mark?
(as in: spear[marks both] --> dash[first guy] --> dash[second guy?])
or is that not possible?

[raven knot]

thats possible

[sly fern]

ya

[chilly lance]

okay well thank you so much for the help! hopefully i can hit gm2 this season that’s my goal even tho i rage queued yesterday and now im diamond lol

[raven knot]

u got this i believe in u

[gilded cloak]

absolutely! you can mark the whole enemy team if theyre bunched up together and get off lots of dashes

[chilly lance]

ty! celestial is my end goal i don’t play enough to get good enough for eternity

even though that would be a huge flex on my brother

[sly fern]

ur just gonna be like me just hop on a alt the second u hit eternity, that rank is horrid

[raven knot]

never limit yourself, but i trust you got that

youd be surprised too

[chilly lance]

yeah that’s what i’ve heard lol

[raven knot]

i got into this game like season 5 and peaked gm

season 5.5 i hit cel 3

6 c1

and 6.5 etern

sometimes when you start improving you just keep going

[chilly lance]

damn nice i started in season 1.5 but stopped in season 3 and only started back up in season 7

[raven knot]

i think you got it js keep pushing to improve

[gilded cloak]

you'll see lots of panther highlights where they go crazy with multiple dashes. that of course comes with time and experience. to put it simply you'll reach a point where as you throw the spear and get however many marks, you have a about 5 seconds or so until the mark is gone, which gives plenty of time to plan a dash route from one mark to the next

[raven knot]

genuinely facts though

[chilly lance]

i wasn’t good enough at fist back then to understand how nice op fist was 💔💔

[pearl dagger]

can you check your dms

[raven knot]

why am i sitting in queue for 20 minutes to solo tank for 3 buns dps

im good 😭

[chilly lance]

so far gm has been the best for me in terms of matchmaking but it’s still not amazing

[sly fern]

im getting avg of 8min q

[chilly lance]

part of the reason my iron fist win rate is above my other characters is that i’m better at him but also it’s bc when i can’t dps the dps that i do have suck

[pearl dagger]

samee xD i learned strange too after getting hard stuck with iron fist at plat and strange carried me to dia 1 then i got back to fist cuz most people told me its possible to reach celes if i have more playtime on the hero and i should stick to one role

[chilly lance]

anyways time to learn psy! ty for all of the help and the vod review

[chilly lance]

i just want celestial for the cool profile badge lol

[pearl dagger]

i wanna reach celestial so badly its been my only goal since s1.5

[raven knot]

i only queue one NA server and sometimes i be waiting like half an hour just to get put into a lobby with a c3 on my team and sypeh on the other

[sly fern]

like it gen dont make sense i can q for 8-10min and still get paired with c2 that takes 2min to q

[raven knot]

right??

and its always some random that just hit their peak

id honestly be fine waiting for longer queues if it means im playing with people that are comfortably eternity

[sly fern]

im gen losing it playing with someone thats cel3 +7

[lime viper]

Name: 33.rioo @knotty spire

First of, when u use ur Q shoot it towards the floor of the enemy that way it bounces off and hits a lot of people instead of 1. Your flicking with the elephant gun needs work. I go to the firing range down in the practice range and just practice hitting my shots with the uppercut elephant shot. When that Venom was in ur backline place a trap on a common exit point that way IF he manage to attempt an escape it would of been harder for him to get away. Practice having ur trap down on the front line at all times aswell as getting faster with ur E and SHIFT. Always shoot ur elephant gun shot before using ur second dash, if u don’t your cutting ur dmg short. Rather than trying to dmg a full health tank try to poke at the supports so they have to focus on survival rather than healing their tank. This will put a lot of pressure on the tanks as their healing source is gone. Going into a fight alone especially as a dps is just feeding the enemy ult charge. Wait for ur team. After they took first point nad the enemy gambit ulted they were in a choke point, this would of been a good spot to ult. The thing with Elsa ult is even if u get 1 person thats better than nothing cuz it almost always guarantees a kill. You see strange up top and let him be? If an enemy is doing that give them some attention to get them out of that spot that could potentially win that team fight (like what happend in this game). Your not staying in the middle of ur team, there is not real need for a poke DPS to be infront of their tank.

Second round:

Its would of been better to use the other spawn exit for u as u can poke iron man out of the sky. If there is a flying that is ur number 1 target. Always a good idea to put ur trap down in a door way to point that way its more unlikely for them to touch point. Your not using ur dashes enough, after you cap first point ur jumping while shooting ur primary at the enemy use ur shift to get more dmg in as it also pierces enemies. When the enemy inv ulted you could of used ur E to keep her out of her ult and killed her causing her ult to end. While your ult was good, i would of saved it for the CND ult as u could of snatched her out of it and into ur backline (by using ur dashes backwards towards ur team) to then kill her and end her ult.

Overall:

Your aim need work. Id go into the practice range and work on ur tracking, your target prioritisation also needs work as the entire time u ignored an iron man, you focused a full health strange a lot but later when they go groot u walk past a 25% hp groot for a dps kill u didn’t even get. You also need to work on using ur kit more, you use it more of an escape rather than a scary kill combo. Multiple times, ive seen you walk in and the use both dashes to get out of a fight with no kills. Next, your traps need to be placed more often. Finally your ults are good but they could be better if used when the enemy is in a choke point or u catch an enemy support lacking in their teams ult.

lmk if u need anything else

[next flare]

how can i get more damage on rocket? i feel like on most other supports i can get about 50-60% as much damage compared to how much healing i have if my team isnt under constant pressure, but on rocket i only get about 10%, or is rocket just meant to do less damage?

[spark dagger]

Can I please get a review for this? Like what was I supposed to do here? There’s a Thor on me the entire first round, Namor is banned, so black cat is roaming around freely, and I can’t even see her, and when I do I have nothing I can do to her, Bucky doesn’t have a ground anymore that nerf was so dumb with how strong dive is and only Namor and thing to stop it.
But The lobby is Celestial, Name:-lgris-
Platform: Xbox

Game code: 10296997110

[modern breach]

You want to be dealing damage anytime you don’t have to heal

Same for all strategists

On rocket especially during your ults just aim at the tanks heads and shreeeed them

[next flare]

it feels harder to do on rocket because his primary has such short range/the projectile is slow

[modern breach]

You deal the most dps out of any support

[modern breach]

It has infinite range to my knowledge. But severe falloff

So yeah you want to be in their face during your ults

[stable badger]

Been learning angela for awhile and have her captain almost centurion and watching videos of eternity/OOA players skewer supports up in the air whys that?

[next flare]

but rocket is like such a easy target, isnt he more of a backline support

[modern breach]

When he is not ulting yes

But use is insane mobility

To jump to the front where you are ulting

Also make sure to be using your ults aggressively to win fights

[next flare]

so kind of like gambit ults?

[modern breach]

Yeah

[next flare]

okay thanks i feel like rocket is sort of easy to provide value for your team with his simple kit, but it also feels more difficult to have an impact on the game compared to the other supports i play, like fox jeff and invis

[proven pelican]

Once you skewer someone your charged attack will usually be fully charged at the end of the skewer. You’d want to skewer someone up that you want to make sure dies. This because going up is harder for the other support to heal them. It’s mainly to get that quick isolation

[muted spire]

Limits their mobility and opens them up as a target. They cant find cover as fast if they have to fall a few meters first.

[modern breach]

Your main impact on rocket is your ability to not die and use of your ults

[muted spire]

Rocket does really good damage on cced targets. If you have both boosts dont be afraid to jump forward to quickly burst someone getting stunned and using the other boost to get back out.

[stable badger]

Understood but sometimes when I skewer the bar is not full but almost is there a way to fix that?

[modern breach]

Also make sure any time you can to be using your boosts on the wall as it makes your distance go from 8 to 20m

[proven pelican]

its definitely harder after her change because you used to always get the full bar back, i think if you spear two people you will get the full bar. But usually you’d go Charged Attack -> Spear-> Quick Melee-> Primary that’s the bread and butter i use now and its juuust enough to take out a rocket or any other 250 hero

[stable badger]

Thanks man I appreciate it since my combo goes melee -> primary -> charge -> melee -> primary sometimes I use the slam if they didnt die yet

[proven pelican]

Yeah I used to do that one alot but folks reaction time would just be too fast for melee primary that i would just have to settle for just primary and then charge. You’ve got the bread and butter down for sure!

[stable badger]

Ill take your word to my gameplay thanks again though

[hazy quiver]

quick question. in a scenario where i play elsa and the enemies are stacked and also perma heal ( i cant flank because there just in a stack and constantly heal each other) and cant go from front because they just heal each other and i cant seem to get a finishing blow on someone. who ido i focus? do i keep hitting the tank even tho he doesnt die? do i focus the backline and deal no damage because im too far away even if im infornt of a frontline?

[proven pelican]

Getting a flank or an off angle would be best. You’ve got to split their attention and make them choose between dealing with you and turning around or try to ignore you and deal with the front line.

[next flare]

is it okay to use a tripple support in a double support comp if you also have a main support? like a adam with a gambit?

[muted spire]

Depends on yours and the enemies team comps and overall healing needs. Usually its risky.

[covert depot]

I think the problem with path finders plaza is that I have been requesting a vod review for 2 weeks now and everytime theresba path finders that says they will get to it Tommorow but never do and then another will take over in there place and its been repeating

[elfin canopy]

can i get a pathfinder for spiderman ?

[raw moss]

I have nothing I’m doing do the next few hours liv, Watcha need, I have one vod review I’m doing before and I can help you

[raw moss]

If you go to the meet the pathfinder channel here just above this pathfinder plaza and look specifically for Spider-Man it will give you everyone that specializes in Spider-Man my man

[covert depot]

Do you do scarlet witch vod reviews

Because I have seen the path finders say they aree busy but they just do someone else's vod review who asked for it 2nd

[heavy basin]

can take a look

depends on what you need

[raw moss]

Hey igris, just finished the vod

1. As far as your deaths are concerned, there are quite a few instances where your deaths happen because you are away from the team or because you push when your team is staggered, and without your full team, a dive comp such as them will punish you for being alone, examples of this are at 5:20, 7:20, 7:50, and around the 15 minute mark. If you can, watch those replays back, look at the overall map, where you died and where the rest of your team is, sometimes you would go off to “peel” for a dive character but then you would overcommit and thor or psylocke would kill you. These are a majority of your defense deaths. You did a good job peeling and your aim is not bad at all, but you can’t overcommit to a kill on Psylock or Thor as those are both characters that are insane in the 1v1, especially at celestial level. The term “peeling” doesn’t mean killing, as long as you create pressure so that their dive doesn’t have the resources the dive ur team anymore, you have peeled. And your team has been saved from a dive. This is a repeat process that is tedious but if done repetitively, they will quit diving you. Some times where you didn’t overcommit was at 6:00 and 18:00 so watch those instances back as they’ll help u know what I’m talking about

2. As far as the black cat, there are quite a few instances where she’s on your backline for free and you either don’t hear it or in one instance, I believe around the 13 minute mark, she’s actually attacking you and you don’t turn around. So in that I would say try to up your awareness by either turning up ur sound or anticipating. If you don’t see her on the field, start looking around, look for every place she could dive from. Try to keep an ear and an eye out. Other than that you seem like a decent Bucky, just don’t overcommit and try to stay aware of their players and their locations

[raw moss]

I can yes, @heavy basin Has also expressed he can too, I just finished my first vod and am free so just lmk what you need

[covert depot]

Am giving you a code

[heavy basin]

If you want to take it go ahead

[ember ember]

im sorry about your experience some pathfinders are working on a more systemized way to make sure this doesnt happen if we can help it in the future

[heavy basin]

but im definetly available if someone else needs help rn

[covert depot]

I am litreally mvp and svp every single match when I play her but I can't climb at all i have been hardstuck d2 for a week now I went to dm1 too

[raw moss]

Do you only play scarlet witch in comp?

[covert depot]

People gave me basic tips but even applying them I cannot climb

[ember ember]

these two are free and can help you feel free to send in your replay code

[covert depot]

No I flex many characters but my main is sw

[green sandal]

I’m always available for scarlet witch reviews, genuinely don’t mind being @ too

We chose to do this

Especially me

[covert depot]

No you helped me and I really appreciate it 😀 but I don't beilive its match making anymore last time I gave you a vod review you told me that I just get bad teammates but that's probably not true cus I am still losing 50% of my games

I played 3 games, should I send of one where I lost or send the one where I won?

[raw moss]

Probably one where you lost

[green sandal]

In the review you gave me, you had MVP with 29 finals, there isn’t much to say when it comes to that

[raw moss]

Those are easier to critique

[green sandal]

And the one you lost, you carried your team with 15 finals, more than your entire team combined twice over

So that’s why I said it wasn’t really a gameplay issue

[green sandal]

I’ll check this out now.

[raw moss]

I shall take a look at this and get back to you liv, scouts honor

[green sandal]

And see what’s happening

[covert depot]

Just had a game, I dropped 22 finals, still lost 😭🙏 and the game before that I played only for defense, i dropped double the finals of my other teamate in only one round but STILL lost

[covert depot]

Tysm ❤️

[raw moss]

Are u sure it’s the right code?

Typing it in here and I’m not getting anything showing up

[green sandal]

Exactly, this is my point, without being too pushy pushy with my words here I don’t think there’s any help to be given if you’re dropping 22 finals and you’re still losing. It’s going to be down to your teammates on why you lost. If you had a game where it was a close game and everyone played okay, it would be easier to make sense of how it could be on you or you needing improvements.

[covert depot]

30207912939

Added a extra 2 on accident sorry

[loud cedar]

I havent watched that replay but I find if I am losing but my K/D is really good I tend to look at how everyone else is doing, try get your tank to swap for example if he is doing badly or being countered etc, If the healer combo is ultron and cloak and dagger for example and the ultron will not switch, you should go 3rd healer. Just try different things

[raw moss]

Kills aren’t everything too though, I haven’t watched the replay yet so I’ll see but if we focus on kills without any counterplay then that can also create problems…not to discredit what ur saying and again, you watched the other replays, I’m just saying, if this seems to be a consistent issue, this could be an issue where we’re focusing too heavy on stats

[tranquil violet]

Should I just be popping storms bolt rush on CD everytime I get it?

[green sandal]

As someone who has 200+ hours on scarlet and has reached eternity with her, trust me when I say that, 99% of the time, I didn’t see anything wrong with those replays that she gave me before and the one/two things i saw, i pointed out. Maybe it will be different with this one though so go ahead and review🫶🏻

[hallow mirage]

I believe it's best to used that move as a finisher similar to Iron Fist's kick

[tranquil violet]

But it has an effective CD of like 4 seconds in damage mode

[raw moss]

Fair enough

[hallow mirage]

You could spam it here and there if enemies are grouped up

Just nice to have it as a way to quickly eliminate someone who could be flanking/staggering

[pastel agate]

they should give spidey 6 uppercuts and he gets bonus hp for hitting them

[modern breach]

No

[opaque smelt]

ok so how the hell do you get out of bronze-gold if youre a cnd main in the pits of eomm hell

[modern breach]

Ult aggressively

[opaque smelt]

its just a cycle of 3 loss 1 win and im so tired of people being like Just Turn Your Pc On Yo why is this so hard

[modern breach]

Stay alive

Prioritize yourself over your team

[opaque smelt]

ty

[raw moss]

Hey liv, just finished and am working on the statement now

[modern breach]

The more up time you have the more value you provide the more games you win

[opaque smelt]

what if the rest of my team is doing absolutely nothing ? this happens 4/5 games what do i do in this situation

[modern breach]

Play the best of your ability and you’ll be able to win most of your games

[opaque smelt]

would playing invis in comp be better or should i stay cnd?

[modern breach]

Hold on I’m gonna pass this to someone else I’m driving

About to start driving

[opaque smelt]

i appreciate the tips ty

[tender panther]

I main strange, like to play him and good at him. sometimes(rarely) he get taken or banned. I struggle to choose between other tanks, I think magneto is the closest to strange (correct me if I'm wrong) but what are the strong suit for mag over strange and what counters him and makes him a bad pick
for example if I was strange and there is emma and iron fist I know I'm in a bad spot and have to be carful or switch off to support (rocket/cnd) or dps (punisher/iron fist) since I don't know other tanks.

so my to summarize all of this in a few point questions:
1 - what is countering mag and put him in bad spot
2 - what other tanks I can safely choose other than mag/strange

[dapper oak]

Don't healbot. Look for instances where you can safely do more damage (you team is healthy). Good positioning, optimize cool-down usage, and use terror cape effectively.

[covert depot]

Tysm

Another game on wanda with 20 finals this time and we won ❤️

[opaque smelt]

I feel like all my games are losses no matter what I do its so annoying

[opaque smelt]

Ty

[dapper oak]

Do you have a code for a ranked game where you feel like you did really well but still lost? I'd love to take a look and give you more pinpointed feedback

[opaque smelt]

I could find one in a couple days since i have an exam soon

[dapper oak]

Ok. Good luck on your exam 🙂

[modern breach]

I’m back

Both work great

[opaque smelt]

My next question about the pits of bronze-gold what role is the best to play in the sense that you could win a game with 5 bot type players on your team

[opaque smelt]

who has better survivability?

[modern breach]

I say both in their own rights

But I may be biased as I play more cnd

[modern breach]

How much time do you have on the game if I may ask?

[opaque smelt]

70 hours . I checked this morning lmao

im level 30 something and silver 3 rn

[jagged temple]

Tank, since you can really lead the flow of the game, dps is really great there as well, kinda hard to “hard carry” on healer when your entire team has horrible positioning

[raw moss]

So there is two big things I’m noticing this game

1. Your target priority does move around but I see you get pretty comfortable shooting at tanks. This can be seen as examples like 10:30 and 18:20 ish I believe, and my problem with it is that unless it’s a lone tank, shooting blindly at the tank getting healed doesn’t really do much for you on that front, and in instances like that you can almost take a dive approach and look at the strategists and get them to back off. This will create dispersion for their team and will allow u to then kill the tanks in a front to back comp like that.

2. This is not meant to be mean or nasty or anything so please don’t take it that way lol. But at least in this game. You did not create value when you played outside your teams ults. So you were able to get kills on diving dps or a stray squirrel girl now and again, which is value, so to say no value is harsh, but a majority of your kills and plays and won team fights came from your strategist or support ults. This isn’t necessarily a bad thing but you aren’t creating value outside of team ults, which eliminated the neutral part of the game and puts ur team in winning fights purely based off of ults. The other team had a better “neutral” so they one more fights because they did not need ults to win them. Examples I see are about the 10-12th minute you hop on and get kills from a strange and a cnd ult. And again at about 16:30 with a thing ult. There are other instances in just this replay though. Something I would work on is trying to get value outside of when ur team ults. Again, you kind of did this by getting stray pick, but nothing was impactful enough to sway the neutral game. Creating value is very hard to do on scarlet witch so honestly I would’ve swapped characters after the second point. Because the only reason yall got second point was because the enemy constantly staggered (If you don’t know what that means, I can explain). I don’t have nitro, lemme finish typing lol

[tender panther]

is this chat only for vod review ? or can I ask questions. I need vanguard pathfinder please

[modern breach]

Cool yeah you might just need more playtime, and as others have said if you send a code a vod review can be super helpful for you

[opaque smelt]

once I got told I should learn dive magik because low ranks dont know how to deal with dive . Is this true

[opaque smelt]

will do . i could just play a game now and send the code

[modern breach]

Hard carrying on healer can be done if you are good at knowing when you can deal damage

[modern breach]

Sure yeah

[raw moss]

Like I said, other than a stray pick, you did not create enough value that game to justify the Wanda pick, yes you got finals, but like I said, a lot of those finals came from when your team ulted, not because yall had a better neutral game. Keep in mind that if they stayed dive then I would absolutely say play Wanda, but they really didnt and after that, yall kind lost any momentum yall had because of the fact that the only team fights yall ever won were because of ults

[opaque smelt]

if you want to spectate instead you can add me , but im assuming code is better

[modern breach]

I can’t get to it because I’m traveling lol literally stopped so we could get snacks

[opaque smelt]

ill get on soon enough

[raw moss]

Again this isn’t an attack on you lol, this is just what I’m seeing you can do better. Hopefully you catch all those messages

[modern breach]

But I’m sure one of our other cd mains will take excellent care of it

[jagged temple]

Yeah from what I seen they do typically struggle against a good dive

[raw moss]

Watcha got axe? Vanguard main here

[raw moss]

You can submit vods or ask questions, either or my man

[gusty sluice]

here to assist if someone needs CD help

[tender panther]

I main strange, like to play him and good at him. sometimes(rarely) he get taken or banned. I struggle to choose between other tanks, I think magneto is the closest to strange (correct me if I'm wrong) but what are the strong suit for mag over strange and what counters him and makes him a bad pick
for example if I was strange and there is emma and iron fist I know I'm in a bad spot and have to be carful or switch off to support (rocket/cnd) or dps (punisher/iron fist) since I don't know other tanks.

so my to summarize all of this in a few point questions:
1 - what is countering mag and put him in bad spot
2 - what other tanks I can safely choose other than mag/strange

my peak is D1 in season 6.5
I'm on a break for season 7 and planning to get back on the game hard on season 8

[covert depot]

But. I don't really think that's possible if they run loki and invis on wanda but they really had alot of damage so I couldn't really go on flanks on the support. Esp cus there was always a thor or sg with them

[raw moss]

And that’s understandable, that’s why I say, I would’ve swapped after they stopped diving, there wasn’t any pressure on their supports and openings weren’t created in the neutral game

[tender panther]

thanks man for taking time to help us

[gusty sluice]

I don't mind helping you out, just let me know what it is that you are struggling with or if it is just general guidance!

[tender panther]

• sry for grammer mistakes, english is my second language

[raw moss]

Most of what counters strange counters mag to answer that question. There is quite a few different ways to play both characters, I am champion on both. But it can be stressful, I would say you can better deal with somebody like Emma on mag because he has better self preservation, but as a general rule of thumb, most of what counters mag, also counters strange.

As far as what other tanks, I’d expand your hero pool and learn at least one dive tank and one brawl tank, like Angela and Thor. But that third safe pick is going to be that Emma. She’s another shield tank that can counter most everything overall and can get you out of most problems if you play her right

[raw moss]

Did u get to read everything liv?

[covert depot]

Yes I did

[raw moss]

Perfect, let me know if there is anything you still have questions on

[tender panther]

wow champion on both ?
thx man , huge help
I read on reddit/x ppl talking about venom being good this season with cc nerfs. What do u think of that

[raw moss]

Venom imo has always been a good tank, but I think when people talk about it being because of cc nerfs that that doesn’t matter, I don’t think tenacity has had that big enough of an impact when I’m playing venom or hulk to justify it being a reason to play him MORE. But he’s solid and if you can learn to aim with him, definitely try

[opaque smelt]

I think its just general guidance. I’m a tandy main in silver 3 and peak s2 😭 I just dont know what I’m doing wrong. i want to rank up but no matter what i try i always lose

[hoary cloud]

As Ultron, when should I challenge a Hela head on? She can delete me in two headshots...

[raw moss]

Depends on your rank tbh. Very rarely are helas actually going to two tap headshot but I would also very rarely challenge a hela at all, unless she is already one shot.

[hoary cloud]

I find myself significantly less effective when Hela is around and forces me to take much more conservative positions that reduce my ability to heal and damage people

[dapper oak]

Dps role certainly has easy carry potential if you're already very good. Like if you have really strong aim and already understand target priority (as an example) you can carry on poke heroes like hela/phoenix, etc. To be honest, you can solo carry on any role if you already have foundational skills that carry over from other games like aim, positioning, target priority, and game sense. Basic understanding of how to use heroes that fit your playstyle also helps. You don't really have much time in the game. There may be some skills you need to focus on developing. I'd say pick heroes you find the most fun that also fits your natural play style and focus on identifying and fixing common mistakes. Watching streams or videos of people in higher ranks play heroes you play is always a great way to learn advanced tech. You may learn new ways to position yourself in fights or how to use your kit in a way that didn't occur to you before.

[gusty sluice]

gimme one sec and i can review or watch gameplay

[opaque smelt]

as far as i do want to pick up dps to hard carry , this is my first hero shooter so my aim and diving capabilities are both horrid 😭 maybe i’m the issue, honestly . Do you have any recommendations to get better/dps to play ?

[opaque smelt]

alright . lmk

[blazing mauve]

@steady ether who is the best person to train hitting my dashes (magik) on in practice?

[gusty sluice]

whats your username?

[opaque smelt]

angei<33

[blazing mauve]

faster pls

[steady ether]

Hey there, I usually train or warm up on luna on fast / super fast to really get used to high intensity situations. You can honestly do whichever character suits better the way you wanna train, lemme give you some examples: storm for fliers is great because she's the fastest and least predictable if you're trying to surprise her from a flank, if you want to train on supps, do luna or mantis and for dps try starlord while he's doing flips randomly. Most importantly play her in game, don't be afraid and lead your shots according to the target's speed. You got this. Hope this helps !

[blazing mauve]

Alr ty

[dapper oak]

I actually main support - I suggested DPS in response to your question about which role has best carry potential in lower ranks. You can have success in any role. Rivals was my first hero shooter as well. I was also hardstuck silver when I first started. Ive been playing since the last beta. You literally just need to learn the game. When I first started playing I didn't know what feeding was. I didn't understand staggering. I was more of a heal bot. I didn't understand ult tracking. In lower ranks, those skills help a lot. Ult tracking esp - since support ults are extremely important and are usually the win condition in most games. If you do want to learn DPS, positioning, target priority, and ult usage is key. Aim will come naturally with time. In DPS role, I'd focus most on target priority and positioning. DPS ults can swing games but are also easily countered by support ults. Learning ult usage is situational and will also come with time but learning about which hero ults combo well (team composition) /how to counter support ults, and which heroes counter you - is a good place to start.

[gusty sluice]

Here are the notes from our call, I will be happy to go into more detail when you are ready to dive deeper!

[kind nimbus]

How do you find your main? I currently main mag but im horrible with everyone to be honest ive still never gotten mvp

[lilac root]

MvP often doesnt have anything to do with how good you played. Especially on tank where things like controlling space and denying opponents abilites is one of the best things you can do, stats will never truly reflect your impact so don't let that discourage you. Finding your main will take some time. Try different characters and different playstyles and then just stick to what you like to play. Your main doesn't mean it's your best character.

[gusty sluice]

who do you enjoy playing the most right now?

[pearl dagger]

iron fist

[lilac root]

If you want, send the replay here in the form of the pinned message and I'll take a look at it

[pearl dagger]

0-0

[kind nimbus]

Daredevil maybe

[kind nimbus]

Only mvp worthy thing I ever do is bubble my teammates

[gusty sluice]

then hit the practice range, work on him, and be a DD main

[kind nimbus]

Only problem is that I die too often with evb

[lilac root]

That's already plenty in the right moments :3

[gusty sluice]

still something you can work on, we call can improve somehow. figure out why, watch your own replays, and slowly make adjustments

[raven knot]

most people dont become crazy proficient on anyone instantly

when i first played mag i missed like 70% of my shots

last season i think i was #1 lmao

a lot of characters just have high skill floors

i thought mag's primary was super weird at first

[gusty carbon]

Like what most people said it takes time and practise to find your mains you will have bad games and you will struggle learning the comps what they excel and what there weak against.

I have hundreds of hours on this game and still struggle from time to time dont let the mvp and svp cloud your own gameplay you could of hit a dunk on a cnd or you could of use a bubble to save a support.

Some things are not shown from stats that show how useful you have been in the game

[hoary cloud]

I heard that White Fox plays a lot like Rogue. How true is this?

[median nest]

they are very different heroes in terms of playstyle

[hoary cloud]

ok cuz yea that was kind of confusing for me in that Rogue is a tank while playing super aggro with white fox often gets me killed

[median nest]

so first off: i completely forgot to look at this yesterday, my apologies for that.
but for the main point here: i would prefer you send a replay that is more suitable for a review as this match was rather onesided and had a disconnect on the enemy team which makes it really difficult to clearly point out mistakes.

[jagged temple]

White fox is slowly leaning more towards anti dive now/ not saying diving isn’t possible with her but I would use her to counter dive

[hollow cove]

Ah alright, I just grabbed the first rogue game I saw where I was struggling so I'll find another.

1. 2:10 - You pushed Strange deeper into his team where he is now freely pocketed by Jeff and Invis. Both of them heal and damage so now you are getting shot by both of them and the phoenix in corner. At that moment you were only getting hit by Rogue and Strange so what you could've done is shifted and kidnapped behind the gate near your Moon Knight. MK could have turned around and helped you kill strange OR you could've solo killed him, but guess what you also had your luna back there too so she could have healed you and help kill the Strange. In that fight you could've been topped off at full HP ready to fight again. 3 Seconds later at 2:13 Invis used her double jump and shield because of MK, what if you were full HP and Strange was dead? You would have been already there to jump on her with more HP.

2. 2:40 - You had the right idea of taking strange away. But don't let him walk away for free. You got 3 hammers so you are free to keep pushing him back deeper into your spawn. Luna was coming up right behind so you could've gotten another body to help you shut strange down. But also you just kept going deeper fighting strange after he got away. Not all bad though because you did turn on the Jeff and killed the strange. But you let Invis walk away at half hp brother

3. 3:50 - I love the aggression. But remember if you play aggressive you gotta think to yourself. Do I have a back up plan to get out? You were already half hp by them time you jumped on them. Don't get me wrong though I would've fought there too, but I wouldn't go past the gate just enough to say "You gotta look at me first". And then if was getting crazy you could jump up on top of the roof get a free heal from invis ult and jump straight back down them.

4. 4:25 - You jumped straight into the team and tried to save your invis from strange ult. Popped your ult trying to trade, but what if you waited like 5 more seconds? They didn't cap the point yet. But Luna was coming at 75% ult. What if you were there to ult with her? She could've dmg boosted with your ult and maybe you could've gotten 2 kills.

Suggestions: You've got the right ideas now we just gotta build up on it. As Thor you can whip your Mouse while your dashing instead of just straight so hop into training and get used to whipping it and moving them where YOU want them. Do I want to bring them closer to my team so we can jump them together? Or do I want to bring them into a room with me and 1v1. Also I do love the aggression because that is what makes Thor great, but don't just go alone against their whole team. If you are jumping in just do a quick look. Do I have at least 1 or 2 people with me and will they be able to see me? That is really it so far just off this game. You already got the hard part down of not being scared to die. Now its improving on it and making to where if YOU die you are at least taking one or two with you. Also hit tab a few times just to check what ults are coming up on your team. It really helps out knowing what you could either combo with or if you got a free get out of jail card.

[weary rain]

I'll read this later.
Thanks

[proven pelican]

No problem man! Let me know if you have any questions further you are doing great now its just putting yourself in better positions to be even greater.

[pearl tinsel]

as emma frost lord main, has anyone more tipps fpr me? for ranking?

[weary rain]

Can I get a gambit gameplay review?

[dapper oak]

Sure. you have a match code?

[weary rain]

Yea. I got a bunch I think

[weary rain]

I lost em, I had a bunch earlier in the season, I'll play some and send em

[heavy dove]

Is there something you struggle with specifically?

[pearl tinsel]

not really, i miss the grab for stopping wanda ult

[covert depot]

I DID ITT @green sandal I GOT GM3 MAINING SCARLET

And I also got #13 scarlet witch in the world too

Now its time for celestial. Here I come

[heavy dove]

For Wanda’s ult you have to know kind of by reflex how far you can reach. Practice how high your grab can go, jump before the grab too and most importantly wait for Wanda to come down.

Most Wandas make an arch while ulting, at the very end they start to lower themselves onto the enemies and that’s when you go for the grab.

If you got any match, I can do a review! I’m currently working on an Emma review so I don’t mind another one

[pearl tinsel]

afteer the round

[covert depot]

You can't stop a wanda ult by grba if she flies too up btw so always place your shield before you enter diamond form since most emmas die trying to cancel it, your grab dash is way shorter then the ults radius

[pearl tinsel]

and thanks

[covert depot]

First always check if the wanda is at ground level or if she's ulting behind or above you

[pearl tinsel]

oh thanks

[dapper oak]

Okie

[pearl tinsel]

thats my lateste emma frost ranking game [50139423645]

[heavy dove]

Can you send me your In-game name?

[pearl tinsel]

Keks7148

[heavy dove]

Got it, I will @ you here in a few mins!

[covert depot]

I feel like loki is the best healer against dive

[pearl tinsel]

ok thanks and take you time

[stable peak]

white fox can deal with dive more effectively and protect her other strat while she's at it, but loki is definitely another good option yes!

[covert depot]

White fox is heavily limited by her ult, in higher ranks she doesn't get to utilise the whole 10 seconds usually ending at around 3-4 seconds, the ult must be used offensively but the problem is that she heals less then other strats while her ult costs more then something like invis or cnd, while a good offensive ult cus the damage life steal and healing it gets outclassed by other strat ults due to her being unabled to be healed and her massive hitbox, great base underwhelming ultimate

[stable peak]

i wasnt really talking about her ult, more her base kit. she can bodyguard her second strat very effectively if in the right hands. i typically use her ult as a way to either stablize briefly or to survive

[covert depot]

Also, if white fox gets blown out of her ult, she is left in a very fatal postion usually infront of or with the tanks, resulting in her being blasted very quickly, you need to keep track of your teleporting shield and make sure you have it when ulting or by the time your ult ends

[stable peak]

thats what i was going to say haha

[covert depot]

Something like punisher fully counters her due to her massive hitbox, deleting her in 1-2 seconds or less

Also her not being cc immune makes it really hard to get the 185hp/s heal

Thou. White fox ult combined with doctor strange is one of the best combos in game

[stable peak]

ults are important to think about in the game, but they arent everything. sometimes you need the bodyguard base kit over the ult if your team cant help with peeling

[pearl solar]

can i play bp on low sens

[still gale]

are you on pc or console?

[pearl solar]

(i never use him before)

[covert depot]

Players are getting better' at playing neutral and cycling cooldowns, strats like CND and invis can perfectly cycle cds to not die while other like luna white fox and gambit can beat most duelists in a 1v1, its extremely difficult to kill a strat that's why going for the dps seems to be the better option, eliminating there main damage option results in your just being able to push with W, tanks are too beefy strats are too protected, and can fight you on there own even

[pearl solar]

pc

[still gale]

u can

in the same sense as u CAN play bp into thing, or spiderman into namor

i wouldnt reccoment it, and its just going to make life harder for you, but if its what your used to and u have the mouse space

[pearl solar]

fair

[void fern]

Um guys if i play ranked for improvement but i still be lossing a lot what does it mean?

[stark furnace]

Losing is just another step towards improvement

improvement isnt a linear path

[still gale]

it means you have plenty of vods to look at and find your mistakes

[covert depot]

Only a few characters can consistently win 1v1s against strategists and those are namor, elsa , dare devil , pheonix and hela, while its extremely difficult to kill anyone using dive tanks like rouge or venom or hulk, while venom gets value by just being a annoying nuisance at the backline I can't say the same for rouge who without her teamup is very hard to play. Especially cus her combos trigger tenacity really easily and she doesn't do enough damage to kill bascially any strats like gambit invis and CND, hulk has a decent ult if used right but he really doesn't do enough damage in base, he does the same / similar dps to scarlet witches primary fire with his primary, which can be easily healed thru

[finite silo]

heyy can anyone give me help with Angela? I really like playing with her but I am not the best, here is a replay ID of my most recent match with her: 50910921006
(i am on console so steering is hard)

[still gale]

sure. let me take a look

[void fern]

Oh i played Angela yesterday i was missing everything tbh but i dont want to send it here cuz i left at the end of the game NOT intentionally, i play on GeForce now so i get to play 30 minutes per session, kinda feel bad for leaving my teamates but i really like competitive

[covert depot]

Its just reality that dive tanks are really not powerful and could use a damage buff. Because there's so many counters, a character like punisher can consistently poke to do insane damage to mid and backline while he can also pull out his shotgun and kill characters like venom thru there overshield ability. Its harder and harder to play dive tanks because of this reason, only brawl tanks and shield tanks are being asked for, characters like thing and DP are good while strange emma magneto groot have became a nessascity to deal with poke characters,

[still gale]

did you want to do a live review or i can just go through text

[covert depot]

Penny is a weird case she's not brawl neither dive nor a shield tank. She's more of a area controlling camper, that's why she's very hit or miss. Pennys can make your game miserable with there mines and CC or be a non issue

[void fern]

Your right :D ill try to have that mindset every match i play

[finite silo]

whats a live review

[pearl dagger]

any dd path finder

[covert depot]

Given her higher winrate across lower ranks. Because noone wants to take an offangle to destroy the nest

[stable peak]

live reviews are where a pathfinder and you are in a call together and going over replays of matches youve done!

personally i think its the best kind of way to learn since the pathfinder can go more indepth and you can ask questions real time

[still gale]

we'll hop in a call and watch the replay together i can talk to you while we watch it

[stark furnace]

Pathfinder for every character! Just talk as if theyre already here and one will get to you for DD

[wide pawn]

Does anyone have ANY advice on how to improve playing on console with controller? I'm also just really trying to help keep my accuracy above like 30% lol

[stark furnace]

Spend a few hours in the practice range tweaking your sensitivity until you feel comfortable with your accuracy.
you may need to leave and rejoin a few times to reset the accuracy tracker

[pearl dagger]

no i just started dd and want some general tips i remember someone sendigna huge note about dd but i cant find it anymore

[stark furnace]

I’ll look it up for you and see if i can find it

[wide pawn]

Gotcha!! I'll give that a whirl

[finite silo]

ooh i cant call today, text is great if that is fine for you

would we talk here or dms? ive never used a pathfinder 😭

[stark furnace]

#pathfinder-plaza message here you go

[pearl dagger]

tyy

[still gale]

sure! give me a little bit. Ill go through the vod, and ill mention you in here with my notes

[finite silo]

@still gale btw i only start using angela at the end of the first round or start of 2nd

[finite silo]

ok tysm, no rush

[stark furnace]

Live vods are done here in the server, private calling is not allowed.
and messages are always sent here so other players can see the same advice

[still gale]

thats fine. i play magik and moonknight too and i can give u tips for those

[finite silo]

omg bro i main magik and mk as my dps mains 😭 (IGNORE MY TERRIBLE MK PERFORMANCE IN ROUND 1 I HAD JUST GOT ON)

im literally 1 level away from lord mk

[wide pawn]

I've been trying get my aim better and I haven't had much luck, but changing the button layout has helped my comfort IMMENSELY because I always forget that you can just change the layouts for characters

I have been having a lot of fun with gambit but my aim is not getting better lol

[stark furnace]

I’ve changed the button layout for almost every character i use so thats a wonderful way to increase comfort

[stark furnace]

I’ve got something about this give me one sec

[stark furnace]

accuracy for these characters is a little different

[void fern]

@stable peak
Hey you said sw is one of your five characters, i have a game on wanda if you can review it, idk why i changed my playstyle on this game, i was playing her as dive tbh and that might be the reason i lost and the main problem

Hey new to pathfinders here and I'd figure I would put my two cents in reviewing the vod. Biggest thing that needs work currently is target prioritization. Several moments showed you were debating on who to go for and and some would have had better choices. Also given Rogue's block and the charge it holds go away quickly, so its better to save your block for incoming high damage windows or ensuring you have a quick burst of damage to low hp targets. Other than target prioritization and cooldown management, its nice to see someone play a decent off tank. You got good game sense of what is going on in the middle of a fight. You know when to get in and out if needed Given the tenacity changes affected Rogue more than others, I respect the dedication to the character. You got the means to keep others from the pain of solo tanking. Keep up the good work.

[wide pawn]

You are amazing oh my god thank you

[stable peak]

absolutely! ill ping you when im done reviewing! 🫶

[wide pawn]

I will for sure send an update about this, and I'll keep posted if there's any difficulty I'm still having but I do know that it will take time to adjust to

[hollow cove]

Yeah, I've watched clips of good rogues immediately ignoring Frontline and shooting for supports in the back and I try doing that but obviously I get exploded with that, even when going off angles. I appreciate the praise though, rogue has the type of hyper-aggressiive gameplay that I really like when it comes to especially a tank.

For the cooldown management I try to time them correctly and i was good at first but I don't know where I went wrong still on how I messed up the rotation. I try to save the kick to escape out of a fight with unless I'm forced.

[silk frigate]

Que rango van en Competitivo

[safe abyss]

Anyone who use Elsa on console, what are your sensitivity at?

[naive lantern]

I FINALLY HIT DUAMOND

I was hardstuck plat dropped to gold a few days ago and now I’m diamond

The power of deciding to main tank lol

[covert depot]

Human torch path finders?

[naive lantern]

Who are the biggest staple tanks that are like must learns

[grizzled lodge]

Mag

Undoubtedly mag

[covert depot]

Diamond is the worst rank ngl I am celestial now but I was stuck in diamond for a month

[grizzled lodge]

You should learn mag and strange for tanking solo or against poke

Emma is really good for brawling

For peel hulk thing and mag are all good

Hulk is harder to learn

For dive venom and angela are good

[raw moss]

Not a must learn but one of the tanks that’s hard to learn but has a lot of carry potential is groot

[grizzled lodge]

Groot is banned a lot unfortunately

[naive lantern]

Learning Angela and doing pretty good with her

[gusty carbon]

Mag and strange can be used in nearly every team comp and is good in nearly every enemy comp.

I reccomend learning one off tank thing, frost, angela. Hulk etc so you can have options in your tank gameplay and not stuck into being a shield only tank

[naive lantern]

Besides her ik strange and Emma

[raw moss]

This is also true, I’ve actually been getting to play groot a lot recently and been carrying which is why I say groot

[grizzled lodge]

Thats fair

[grizzled lodge]

You should definitely learn mag, he has one of the best if not the best tank ults and his base kit is really good

Mag can also solo tank no issues

[naive lantern]

Bro even in practice range I can’t hit his ult lol

[grizzled lodge]

Remember it's a third person shooter

[naive lantern]

I solo tank as strange a lot Angela is my favorite tank tho by far if not favorite character all together

[grizzled lodge]

Where you aim isn't exqctly where the rock will always go

In general you should aim a little lower than you want to rock to actually go if it's a closer throw

If its a farther throw just aim as usual

[naive lantern]

I just can’t track and get a direct hit

[grizzled lodge]

For cnd it's pretty easy you just need to get the timing down

We could hop in a practice range and I could help you

[naive lantern]

Also I use the gru mod so I’m not using a rock I’m using a moon so get it right 🤓mb
