I'm watching the colosseo loss -
1:53 seconds in notes at the fight by the opposing team's half of the map, by the bus:
You're fighting with Rammattra at close range.
The entire enemy backline are clumped together under the bridge and would have to walk very far or use their mobility abilities to flank your team.
Ramattra's shield has a lot of health, but only lasts for four seconds.
I noticed you died crossing the open road, exposing yourself to the fire of Kiriko and Hanzo, and Hanzo ended up headshotting you.
I feel that once Ramattra's shield is down, you might have gotten a lot out of using Reinhardt's body as a shield to safely fire at the enemy team to get the final percent or 2 of your ult charge, then you might go up the stairs of the Hotel Fellini to your left, then ulted from anywhere you want on the highground, whether from their right, from atop the bridge, or to their left.
Given their teamcomp, I think the bridge would be best, since Kiriko and Hanzo have wall climbs, and thus they could only climb up on very specific parts of the bridge or would have to retreat under the bridge. At that point, you would have the option to stay on the bridge until your ult runs out, thus zoning them under the bridge, re-positioning into a new flank spot, or dropping down either in front or behind them.
Notes on the next fight taking place on the friendly end of the colosseum:
02:40
You were shooting on the stairwell leading to your Lapis Maximus courtyard. This is a good place to be at the time, high ground, decent enough range to harass enemy players.
Ramattra places his shield down. Reinhardt and the team are by the bus next to Domus Aurea, and the fight gets intense. Kiriko uses her ultimate.
You dropped off the stairwell onto ground level, and walk forward into the alleyby the sports bar. The enemy backline all have cover from the angle you fought at, and could juggle back and forth easily so your ultimate never killed anyone and you got killed by the enemy soldier.
I think heading atop the bridge would have given you options - to flank from, and to shoot at any flankers trying to attack reinhardt and the rest of your backline.
It would also have opened up the option to head above the sports bar and ult from there while the enemy team is focused on shooting in the direction of reinhardt and the rest of your team, or to go to any spot you want and counter ult something like Ramattra and Moira ulting - shooting moira while rammattra is ulting and cannot shield himself.
04:22 notes:
You're trading shots with Hanzo atop the bridge on their half of the map. It's high ground, that's good, you knew the right time to reposition - I feel like being on the other side of the bridge, above Caffe Palatino would have been a stronger option. Because you're on the far side of the bridge, backing up leaves you in the corner, unable to shoot at anyone. Taking cover atop caffe palatino would open you up to options - Hanzo would shoot at you and force you to avoid shooting from atop the bridge, then you could move to the other side of that cover and shoot at Moira, Ana, and Ramattra in the open, whilst Ramattra's shield is down.
04:57, you shoot at moira and advance under the bridge. They know where you're at, they heard you shooting at moira. Moira backs up to cover, and hanzo and moira work together to force you to use healing pool, and then kill you when you run into the open.
The moment you flank Moira and she takes cover, I feel it would benefit you to retreat and find another flank route. You got a lot of value out of shooting at Moira. You forced them to stop what was shaping up to be a very successful flank against mercy and reinhardt. Once they backed up, I feel you would be safer backing up to the courtyard with the greco-roman statue, and taking the doorway on the right that leads to an angle on whomever your reinhardt and mercy are fighting 1v2 with.
Sorry, I made a mistake there. Rammattra's ult ended up killing you after taking a shot in the back from Hanzo. The idea is that backing up would avoid exposing you to the fire that forced you to drop your Biotic Field and enter in the range of a Ramattra ult on low health.
You would have high health (or picked up a health pack in the courtyard), and have the freedom to drop a Biotic field once Ramattra uses his ult.
If you feel like this is helpful feedback, let me know.
