This game I don't know where I went wrong. I had the least deaths on my team. The whole time my team couldn't move an inch because of their Ashe and Torb. The first match I played extremely well and then they switched to Hog and my whole team got confused immediately. They also didn't know anything, I tried to wait for their Ana to throw nade and then rushed in, it worked once when my team coordinated. I'm still baffled at this loss, I know I'm a good tank player and deserve a higher rank, I was plat 3 after my placements and fell to plat 5 now. I keep losing and I always feel like my team underperforms, even when one person performs badly we lose a game. The map was King's Row

Here is the replay code: EZPDD7

Well first off, drop the ego. Thinking you deserve a higher rank hurts you both in short and long term, and from the fact that you keep losing it would also simply seem to be false

#

I can take a look at this when I get home and try to give you some pointers

#

While yes, your team in these ranks will inevitably quite often be stupid, so will the enemy

#

You need to take advantage of that fact

#

If you're better than the other tanks at your rank, you should over time rank up

#

Because on the enemy team it's possible for there to be 5 stupid people, on your team, if you're not stupid, that number is only 4

#

too add to mist if you feel you cant carry your team or your team is "holding you back" your probably your right rank

Youre likely to read these messages and immediately think that they are wrong and brush the comments off as if they are false and just plain rude. My advice? Don't. Your message and entire profile indicates you have an extreme ego problem and this will halt your growth and progress, if you truly are serious about improving you need to drop it. Treat the game like its a singleplayer game, improve your own mistakes and ignore others' mistakes. The enemy team has 5 randoms your team only has 4, you are the deciding factor on your team. Be good enough and you will win more than you lose with enough games. Goodluck in your journey mr "Greatest ever"

I might be able to chime in on the gameplay in a day or two to truly see what's up. I see the post is illiciting a negative response, but I'm not entirely sure it's warranted before even watching gameplay.

Do make sure to adjust your approach when seeking advice though. If you feel you need to preface a vod review with details about your teams apparent lack of cooperation or pulse, then perhaps the chosen vod isn't good material for you to learn from. You would ideally want to detach the emotions from the gameplay and ask objectively for improvements you can make. Venting can distract yourself from asking for help the right way.

Some better vods to review would likely be close losses or wins, or games where you're the one who ultimately feels you didn't understand what to do and tried your hardest to little success alongside a team that visibly did the same. Those types of games can highlight the most errors with positioning, timing, cooldown and ult usage, counters and adaptation.

If I may be pedantic, the right way to look at solo queue is you're the common factor in every match you play. But you can still be matched with and against 4 stacks at this elo in my experience, so some games are not true solo queue. They can go either way from hard to influence factors. Your goal is to be over 50% winrate, and to try your best to improve it.

Even then you must face the reality that 40-50 out of 100 games will be losses of varying intensity and reasons, even if you are playing well. That's a lot of losing while climbing, it happens!

Anyway, I'll take a look eventually, try to make it more clear that you mean well, and to everyone else, please make it clear you mean well when trying to critique someones approach. It may deserve benefit of the doubt and not be that deep.

As a preemptive note. When I review this knowing the person feels they deserve a rank higher than plat, I expect to see very good mechanics and quick reactions to opportunities, good awareness.

ALSO DO NOT SAY YOUR TEAM IS HOLDING YOU BACK I just saw your sym down 3 get 3 picks in that last fight

#

you then get nanoed miss every shot on the torb fed and die

#

number one thing your desision making and fear factor need to be worked on, positioning needs to be worked on mechanics need to be worked on, cooldown tracking could be worked on, and creating and holding space rn your playing the game like a 725 hp dps and then you try play mauga like a doom and run at their backline with no way out get anti'ed and die

#

and 100% drop the ego bcz your mei/sym and ana carried many of those fights you only realistically got traction when the enemy tank made the same mistake you did

Please use some more punctuation and spacing/chapters, your text is very hard to read in a wall like this.

muted turret
#

theres plenty punctuation I will split it up tho

#

the only problem is then it goes over the character limit

grave girder
#

All around some solid points though, which should be enough for him to get out of this review, since learning/improving just these things alone should be enough work for a good while

#

its my first time reviewing a tank so i appriecate the compliment

#

ill section it off into different messages now tho

floral holly
#

I will read this once I get time

#

The thing i get off immediately to drop the ego

muted turret
#

so it easy to read

floral holly
#

And I admit I do have it

#

So I guess thats the starting point

muted turret
#

I mean you made good plays at points so dont drop it fully

#

but instead of saying "my teammates suck its all their fault" think of more as ok. what can we do here to win rather than what can my teammates do to win

#

Defense

First off why are we playing low ground sigma on kings row. Standing on objective when they give up so much space on first point isnt great when they back away you should captialise on their lost space to try get a pick or even just hold enough space so your dps can get a nice easy pick.

You put multiple unnessessary barriers which results in your sheild getting broken when you weren't under any pressure. You got lucky a few times bcz they also didnt capitalise on the space you had to give up when your sheild broke, but a better team will just run you over or force you to use all your CDs.

You then didnt have barrier for bob tho used all your CDs on bob on first point then tried to take a close room battle with a soldier and fell over (this was more a machanical issue you missed a few shots thats unlucky) however through that whole fight they were capping the point and you sorta just let them instead if you didnt waste sheild you couldve shielded off bob and played for Ult which you were close too.

Again after losing point you put a shield up while you are hiding behind a corner and they just shoot the shield you werent in any danger you couldve saved shield for next fight/retake. You also get the soldier low in this fight he turns a corner and you just give up and forget he exists for some reason. He then comes back and kills your team and you. Ive also noticed a few times your a certified hog shooter.

Unless you ana antis the hog realistically you should probably be shooting their backline trying to poke out their ana or maybe their ashe. I mean the mauga swap was good but like we didnt even try to contest payload and they just capped for free and you had your cardiac.

# floral holly So I guess thats the starting point

Realizing that you do have an issue with overconfidence is already 90% of the work, so just the fact that youre acknowledging it is great. Iint believe you need to completely drop it and act like youre a bad player, you can always feel like youre better than others, but make sure it doesnt affect your improvement. Look at your mistakes and make your play more optimal, instead of dwelling on other people that you cannot control. I wish you the best of luck ♥️

Attack

First fight that push was very aggressive you knew they had Ana you do not have a Kiri pushing in like that will get you anti'ed and you will fall over. Your Mei hit a great wall and you got the rein and you won that fight.

Then you Ana gave you an amazing nade and nano to save your life and, you cap point. For some reason I know Mauga has that perk where hp if stays on payload however you cant just sit afk on payload you gotta take space Mauga is amazing at taking and prolonging space with his abilities and surviving for long enough until he needs to get out that's when you use your payload perk.(the only time on Mauga you realistically wanna be playing objective is in the control points but even then you should be looking for opportunity to take space as well")

But since you didn't take space you let their team run your team over bcz they had more space there torb gets a free kill on your Mei and the Ana gets a free kill on your sym (syms a little unlucky bcz bob but still) and then you just kinda leave your Ana to die and she gets staggered that's kinda on her but yeah. rein used ult and killed 2 of your teammates and you decided to go in for some reason you should've kited it and tried to get back and regroup now you got staggered for next fight.

You then went in alone ulted cancelled when you realised oops or just survived it idk i cant tell tried to walk out gave up all the space you took and go pined back to spawn by their Rein. Alright next engage was pretty good well done. You took space got a big slam followed by a quick pick on Ana and Ashe and your team cleaned up everything else. and you stagger the torb clappi

You then stand in the open you could've played the corner just before second point and holds more space and you don't LOS your supports while also getting to use cover. You could've even played payload here and just played for push bcz you were short on time. yeah then you fed.... you did not need to engage there you needed to cap point It held some good space tho and your team got the rein (bcz they fed too) so its not terrible but you probably could've stayed alive and done the same.

Their rein feds again so capitalise on that space try look for dmg before the fight maybe get a pick on the Ana or smth don't stand around doing nothing by the time you realize you could be doing smth the rein is back you get anti'ed and you run in with 20 hp and die.

and dont beat yourself up over mistakes even Junbin makes mistakes in OWCS

floral holly
#

So I just read through the whole thing and the most I picked up was my positioning is pretty doo doo. I need to work on creating and holding space. And a lot more poured into mechanics.

#

I will review this once again when I come back home while watching the VOD to really see where I mess up

#

I mainly main Ramattra but didn't feel like playing him that game, I could have switched maybe during the attack but thats something to think about when improving

#

Thanks everyone for the tips and I will try to improve more and look at my mistakes and plays more than my teams.

muted turret
#

IK hes more of a rush tank tho but yeah still

floral holly
#

Yeah Sigma is good on circuit royale as far as I know.

floral holly
muted turret
#

sigma is good on long sightlines maps

#

like Circuit royale, Junkertown, havana is another good one

#

pretty much any map where widow excels sigma also excels

#

except a few where dive is more viable bcz they can reach widow but yeah

#

Circuit is prime poke
Watchpoint is prime dive
King's Row is Prime brawl

#

imo

#

knowing whats best on each map is important but not really important in solo queue or ranked bcz you dont realistically have to play a full comp bcz your teammates might not be in voice or smth which makes it hard to run the comps to the best of their abilities if you ever get into scrimming tho knowing comps/map is really important
