Hey!
After being convinced that people don't bite, I just share a pretty recent game. I do not play an awful lot of comp but mostly tank. Usually I switch between D.Va, Sigma & Zarya, but yeah
It's not a super, super close game, but I don't have any better ones at the moment :c

We do not talk about about the D.Va Part, I guess I just needed to wake up haha
I know my aim is... something else :'D and my bubble management needs improvement, but I think my 'biggest' problem lies somewhere else, but I can't manage to find it :c

Code: RZJH4F
Name: Timba

I can take this one but it'll be much later in the day. If you upload it to YouTube I can look at it at any time

Doooope

#

Lemme give it a look

#

To start off you didn't need to swap off dva, you just played the fight poorly. Dva is in general rly strong rn, and also is good vs pharah zen and ashe which the enemy had on their team

#

You can't face tank a bunch of headshots you need to use cover and matrix to get in close then once ur in u can unload on them with rockets and shotguns

#

But don't take free damage, terrible

#

As for the zar, you wanna use bubble to be aggressive and do stuff. Like ur bubbling when there's no one shooting you but you wanna bubble then walk at someone and shoot at them so they're forced to shoot the bubble (making u stronger) or just die.

#

Also ur srsly scared of solo zen. U can walk at him with bubble or matrix and free kill him lol. He's an incredible threat when he has his team with him but solo zen? Just get his ass

#

Be aggressive! But aldo don't take free damage before ur being aggressive

#

The mechanics here are super sloppy as well. Not just aim but like movement and positioning and stuff.

#

Few things, you're gonna need to improve your aim but that just means playing more games as zar dva. Maybe just go into deathmatch and try to kill ppl.
Better cover usage like, you're should be hugging cover especially on zar since u have no mobility. Like dance around corners, cart, stuff like that just try it. It'll make u rly tanky cuz u can just tell the enemy nope can't dmg me if you're low hp

#

Ur initial ideas of zar aren't bad tho, ur not dumb. Just needs better mechanics and cover usage and you'll be decent. But once u get better at those be more aggressive as well, force kills with bubble

#

Also I'm sure u know this now but dva matrix eats zar grav. So if ur the zar u wait until after dva uses matrix then u have a 1 second window to grav guaranteed. Don't don't don't yeet it into matrix that's game losing

#

I feel like ur pretty new so I don't wanna go into strategy but for zar

  1. Bubble for aggressive plays
  2. Hug cover, especially when ur low so ur sups can heal u

pretty new... well not really lol

#

started playing in 2018

#

I just

#

ehhh

#

well

#

game sense and stuff lul

iron swan
#

mmm

#

How many hours do you have would you say?

#

Also random but habit you have is u literally shoot ur teammates when they're getting shot at and you don't have bubbles. I know you're trying to bubble them but you literally don't have bubble so you're better off standing in front of them and shooting the enemy to give them space

#

Instead of standing behind your teammates and shooting your teammates

#

I'd say be more selfish with ur bubbles in general. U are the carry!!!

#

U bubble ur teammates so much and it's kinda bad habit cuz u end up having them Frontline instead of you

#

yeah profile says 313 /D

iron swan
#

Not sure what I'm at but ik I have more than 300 just for 2 heroes so I'd still say ur newish

#

So don't be discouraged just yeah

#

Do u have some questions or thoughts?

static salmon
#

well it's good to hear that being selfish with bubbles is nothing bad |D (I do not always bubble my teammates that much and always feel bad for selfish bubble usage :c)
other than that... idk what I expected, but hearing that my mechanics are sloppy is honestly kinda humbling - not I thought I would be any good lol

guess a few things will eventually come with time?
questions... I guess not really just the same old "but how do I get better at [x]" - to which is the answer playing most of the time

#

Just play more comp so you have objective metrics to see progress. And focus hard on zar and dva. The less.heroes the better.
Be hard on yourself, if you're missing shots or bubbling air, focus up and improve it.

#

Also watch top level play! Like seeing a pro pilot ur hero and do incredible on it it really puts into perspective how much u can improve
