One thing I've been trying to keep in mind is my positioning in relation to my team and better aura prioritization, even when I'm in the mind to try some solo actions like guarding a flanking route, because there's been cringy times in older VODS where I escape or tunnel on something and my aura is doing jack shit because I'm just too far away from the team fight. So I pleasantly surprised myself watching back his stream and noticing how often my aura was actually on Rein when we were both on the field.
They might be reworking Horizon too since most people seem to still have problems with it, but I've actually turned around on Horizon since the rework. I'd consider it one of the better 2CP maps, actually.
For me it comes down to there only being 1 way to push through the choke where defense has high ground by default. Second point is a complete clusterfuck of open space (which might be personal, but I hate it. I dislike 2/3 points on Oasis for similar reasons).
With regards to the first point...yeah, maybe, but so does Anubis. In fact, it's a pretty similar set up where the defenders have a ledge they can look down on while attacks have 3 paths they can go after they pass the choke, and that map seems to be relatively well liked. Horizon has high ground for defenders too, but admittedly attackers can bypass that one a bit more easily by going under them.
just keep it hidden until OW2.
This has to be a troll.. Volskaya, Numbani and Anubis...
because she's been either suboptimal or just bad for quite a while now.
yeah she's basically a pick for people who mechanically can't play anything else.
i hate the "there is no meta in plat" bullshit honestly, yes you can win with anything if you outplay the other team but all things being equal there are better and worse picks. mercy is worse than any other support right now outside of a tiny number of situations. if she is on your team the other healer will have a lot of slack to pick up.
None of this tells my why onetricks wouldn't be a thing above bronze. Onetricks have always and will always be a thing, regardless of strength.
you're just saying that other healers have a higher skill ceiling, which is correct. any game in plat or above the healers should be able to play at a reasonable level though, which means you will get way more value from literally anyone else than from mercy.
You say A, I ask why not A and you come up with something related to Q. Not my fault you can't come up with a reason.
You have much too high expectations from plat players, and oddly, way too low of an assessment of plat Mercy's.
if you can't hit heal shots with ana/bap or get damage with zen you shouldn't be in plat, and my assessment of plat mercys comes from playing with them. they suck shit.
Oh my god. Only time I've had Overtime that long and arduous was in old-school Total Mayhem. Closest I came to that in normal play was this attack on Anubis Point B. The entire latter half was basically one big team fight. I tip my hat to the enemy:
That is true, but I mean; we had numbers advantage for so long, and it's not like they were employing the step trick. KILL AND BODYBLOCK. I WANT TO WIN. (I lost this match.)
Heal shots with Bap are easy, lol. I mixed up my communication by pairing them so that's my bad. Low value Baptistes come from other mistakes.
I wish they switched out Havana for JunKerTown, since Havana was in the last season.
You can always jump in, the game is not overly complicated even with so many heroes. Their designs are unique, so easy to tell apart, and you'll soon learn all of their abilities. I don't think the game will scratch that UT '03/'04 itch, but it's a fun game in it's own rights obviously :)
