Code:GQ9XSB Even though we lost I think this match was pretty close. I'm not sure what went wrong at the end, but I'm open to any form of tips and advice for me, our tank, and torb.

there 2 kirikos in this lobby @noble rapids
i guess i can see which team lost and see which kiriko is on that team, but in the future write your IGN in the post, its just helpful to people.

not mad or anyhting just saying
ok
cool
alright couple of things, you should get into a rhythm of shoot shoot healing instead of waves of only shooting or only healing
especially when youre prioritizing healing, you can fire 2 shots in between the heals at no penalty to the heals. its literally just free damage.
also consider trying to preaim headheight, and figure out exactly where peoples heads at all times
trust me it will give u 100x more headshots, easily. the hard part is just learning where head height is on different map angles and for each character model
okay, youve gotta use your cooldowns for damage denial.
for yourself, you can dodge junkerqueen axe swing with tp, she just shouldnt be able to hit you with that cooldown ever. tp also cleanses ana anti, ashe fire, and detaches tracer sticky.. stuff like that, i just see you taking free damage here
also u gotta help ur team man. some of these fights you literally just lose track of whats happening? always help ur team. every member of your team too ur dps, 2nd support, not just your tnak
work on expanding your scope. you support the whole team not just your tank
kiri can actually make great plays with her dps by combing her damage and healing with another dps to secure the kill
the real 2 main things i would say are shoot shoot heal, and making sure youre looking around and trying to help all your team
I think you need more playtime and experience so your mechanics and reactions get faster before you get too deep into strategy
just play way more
lots of deathmatch, trying to preaim head height and hit only headshots, a lot of those kinda things would be useful for you
noble rapids
Thank you for the advice
dusty oyster
any questions?
matchups you find hard, team synergies you dont understand, maps, anything?
noble rapids
In what situations would It be better to switch off kiriko to another support?
And are there any team comps I should avoid running her in?
dusty oyster
give me a sec im starting a game but i can answer in depth after
noble rapids
It's fine take your time
dusty oyster
kirikos pretty generalist, her kits good for most teams. however if mobility isnt necessary like youre on a map like lijiang control center or are in brawl mirrors with like rein vs ram i dont think shes necessary
you could pick baptiste and do better numbers because you dont need mobility to survive or dive
i also think shes bad specifically vs pharah mercy, im not sure if thats true but its really hard to hit headshots on her and if the rest of the team isnt shutting her down you cant do much about it
also if youre playing a kiriko lucio dive style, brig can shut that down pretty hard
so you may be forced to switcht o ana
but in general kiriko is very high skill and you wont have to swap off if youre good enough
noble rapids
So I should prioritize getting good at her before other supports
dusty oyster
yes, her or ana i recommend the most
noble rapids
Torb
dusty oyster
sec meaning 15 mins btw lol
noble rapids
Take as long as you need
dusty oyster
oof, so for orisa, honestly i'd suggest just not playing orisa, shes really bad right now
but it looks like hes playing her as a poke tank, using javelin across the map and her projectiles acroiss the map it just doesnt work
you need to take space with spear spin and fortify to be aggressive and land javelins for kills, or disrupt someones positioning with spear spin
and also tell him that you can do spear spin into fortify to basically have full immunity to everything while the cds are active
he gets slept by ana and dies for 0 cuz he doesnt fortify
your torbs aim is honestly incredible, great crosshair placements for optimal spam headshots
your torb is your best player by far lmfao
dusty oyster
with the torb though tell him his cover usage and positioning arent that good so he keeps dying for free after he uses e
like he gets caught on offangles that you cant retreat from so when his team loses any space he just dies
noble rapids
Ah ok
dusty oyster
torb needs to be more by his supports so he can get healed and juggle his big hp pool
noble rapids
What's e?
dusty oyster
torb e is the one where turns glowy, gains 100hp and has faster fire rate and movespeed
its a really good ability but on a long cd and torb is vulnerable after it
noble rapids
Oh overloading
noble rapids
We're console
dusty oyster
oh sorry forgot about the tank quesiton.
tbh not really, i literally see 0 orisa at higher levels of play shes just not...like not it. theres probably a decent skillcap to hitting the javelins so if you want to force her go ahead but i dont think shes good at all
sigma is decently strong, could have been a pick yeah
dusty oyster
alright no prob
noble rapids
I'll try my best to be a better support for my team
dusty oyster
🙂

Mb forgot to ask, what makes Orisa bad in the current meta?
dusty oyster
She gets angled on and farmed, idk it's just bsd
It's her own selfs fault, not the current meta. A few patches ago before she got nerfed she had more ranged damage but that got nerfed so shes really close ranged
And now sombra hack breaks orisa ult and sombra is good rn so
Just everything is bad for orisa rn, umm she can still "counter" jq rein and ram by outbrawl them, but tbh your support and dps line can just counter her, or you can pick zar to counter her
And she loses to dive in general on most maps because she gets angled on and is useless
She's just not good idk. Her cool downs can be good but ehh
