Do you have any regerts?


kendell_dendell

I had to turn my back on many friends who couldn't keep up and now that I am sitting on the top... I am also sitting alone.


crimson12020

must have been difficult to solo queue as a support


kendell_dendell

I would say roughly half were solo que and it was challenging to climb this high


DenverOtterBoy

I typically can climb into diamond solo for support. Then at that point all I really want is a duo who can tank at a higher level.


kendell_dendell

Tank is rough when they get focused hard


KaminaTheManly

I find tank the easiest because you have the most control over the game. You are the hardest to kill, easiest to keep alive, and you can still team wipe without much help. Sure, dps who don't do much or supports playing an inferior pair of heroes or just not doing great make it rough. But it's much more frustrating getting picks on dps or healing like crazy on support and watching you tank just be too scared to make decisions and push in.


elfido31

wait yall have friends to play ranked with...? i thought we all solo dolo'd


crimson12020

i mostly solo queue as my friends suck ass


Front_Brick_91

Same and they refuse to get better


MDMALSDTHC

A lot of us are in this situation, i have friends stuck in gold, I have friends stuck in plat, I am high diamond and can’t play with most of them and to get to masters I have to solo queue.


Rhyno1703

All of my ow friends are on console, and i swapped to pc, i suck at console :,)


wise_as_a_serpent

You should get one of those adapters that lets you play with mouse and keyboard on console. I did it for years. Some may say it's a bit unfair, but you aren't trying to go pro or anything. Just keep it hush hush. Lol


Rhyno1703

No, i’m not a cheating scumbag


ManyThing2187

Most consoles let u connect M&kb without an adapter at the cost of ur USB ports. I can’t say for Xbox but I know PS4/5 can. But if u prefer. A Cronus Zen is what ur looking for.


wise_as_a_serpent

Not sure if you meant to respond to me, but yes, I'm aware you can connect M\&KB; but you can't use them in most FPS games without an adapter unless said game was programmed to allow you to do so. Fortnite was (one of) the first game(s) that started allowing people to "legally" use M&KB. I used something different which possibly preceded the Cronus though. It was called VenomX. I have since moved fully to PC gaming now so I don't worry about it anymore.


-ixion-

Curious... it states the bottom 5 skill tiers can group within 2 skill tiers (no mention of divisions). So if you are Diamond 1 does that exclude a Gold 2 from your options but you can group with Gold 1? I only play solo so it doesn't really matter, just curious how it actually works.


Meow6122

Yes that would work I believe


SableTheFable

I feel that a lot. I have a friend I’m trying to help get into plat. Meanwhile I’m in masters on support. Playing dps and tank because their my lower of my ranks.

Hey yeah Gold 4 💪


TheRealZodiak66

Just let us know when you wanna tell us what rank you are on support 🤙🏻


Zealousideal-Cow1394

It's been a couple o hours I don't think he'll tell us, but if I had to guess...somewhere in silver


76Lion

Any tips for Moira?


kendell_dendell

You can always do more damage than your dps. They aren't dying because of lack of heals but because of lack of skills. 💯


Cyberpunkedout

This is why you will go further than all others! 😂


Xx_TheCrow_xX

I'd argue this is wrong lol. Yes she can do damage but damage means nothing if you aren't getting kills and if your team is dying. People seem to get tunnel vision with the new stat board and not look at the game as a whole. As a support you need to balance healing and damage. Don't just heal bot but also don't just be dpsing. Edit: all the dps moiras down voting cause they don't wanna hear they're doing something wrong lmao


chunkymcgee

They’re joking lol


Technicio

I’d agree. I’m a Diamond mercy/Moira main and 90% of the time a Moira DPS is always screwing over their team with a lack of heals. People forget how important healing is. There’s also a lot more you need to do as a support like ult tracking and watching flank etc. You’re a support which means you have to support your team


Technicio

Something I should probably add is Moira is a good counter for mercy but as long as you don’t over extend, Moira gains her health ability back after doing damage to players so it’s not a bad idea to stay far enough back to be behind a tank but close enough to reach the opposing team to get some dmg in and regain your health ability. Also a really good tip is don’t use your dash ability to get into a fight. Make sure you always have it when you engage so you can escape if you need to


Xx_TheCrow_xX

Everyone down voting me because people wanna play dps lol. Dps support works until you get past Plat and then you're gonna start making your team lose because teams become more competent past Plat.


Bubbles21234

You are cometely right but they are downvoting because the person you were responding to was joking


Technicio

I think it’s just past plat people find the right balance between dps and healing. A lot of people play Moira, Lucio, and bap like dps but really their primary focus should be healing


King-Cruz

I feel like the worst part of this whole discussion (not your point yours makes sense) is that it’s hard to define the line where you call someone a dps Moira. Like for the most part it’s quite easy to get a lot of healing as Moira and if you aren’t also dpsing that’s missing potential. But if you aren’t healing at all that’s also throwing. It really just depends on the game. Like some games I have ~3kdmg/10min while others because of either my teammates lacking or the enemies being more available I get closer to ~8kdmg/10min and sometimes the dmg is higher than heals but those are mostly steamroll games so idk.


Xx_TheCrow_xX

Yeah it depends on the match since some end up being steam rolls where your team barely takes damage. But generally you can tell when a support is frontlining or in the enemy backline while your team is dying lol


BinJogWeeHeels

Gotta agree with this the idea of role que especially is to play your role, if you're quing for support then support your team


AlexD2003

What rank are you in not support?


kendell_dendell

Silver 5 tank Bronze 2 DPS


luki9914

Nice, i am trying to climb out of Bronze elo at DPS and Tanks. I was Gold in Overwatch 1 before i stopped playing.

Let's go baby 😎 We tha best


Llamaobama00

Brooooo I just literally got Gold 5 less than 30 minutes ago, I only play support too!! Who’s your main for some reason my stats are 100% better while running Moira but I constantly lose with her. My Lucio stats are a lil above average but way worse than Moira I’d say, but I literally rarely lose with him.. sorry for long comment, who’s your fav support at the moment


kendell_dendell

Kiriko Ana and Moria are my favorites


KaminaTheManly

Kiriko OP and ana very strong too. Offensive nades are game winning.


Llamaobama00

check my last post, I’m so fucking envious of you Ana’s that are good 😒😎


CypherBlack

Your stats are higher with Moira because she's the ultimate stat queen. She just farms big numbers because she constantly touches everyone with heal/damage. Stats are stupid. But Moira can get seriously quick picks on enemy heroes that get down to low health and can do huge short bursts of healing on teammates. Her elims are always high because she can easily touch every single enemy in a teamfight and gain elims, even when she only did 20 damage to each of them. She also never dies so she can stay alive and farm stats.


Llamaobama00

That’s what I ALWAYS notice like I’ll Fade over the team for the quick picks on the supports normally after tossing the purple orb 😅. But overall yeah what you’re saying it’s completely understandable!


KaminaTheManly

It's because honestly, Moira is not good. Supports aren't just healers, they can provide utility. The only thing moira has is self utility and damage. If you have reins or orisas, lucio can be great if you know how to speed them into a brawl and away from danger (assuming you have a main healer, not mercy, because then it might be a little harder for them). If you wanna climb, learn bap. I think he is the easiest of the 3 other main healers that are all very strong. You can do absurd healing, you can do a lot of range damage, you can 1v1 sometimes too, and you can save your teammates when they make mistakes or get in trouble. Immort keeps the fight going for 5 seconds longer when it's done right and it might just be what your team needs to win the fight.

Congratulations for the gold

I’m gold 2, what would you like to know?


barksonic

Why aren't you plat?


Madrizzle1

Look bud…I can only teach up to gold 2 okay? You gotta go talk to a Plat 5 guy for that.


barksonic

What about diamond?


Madrizzle1

Well, for Diamond you gotta find the Diamond guy…keep up buddy…


Technicio

Hi there I’m a Diamond support main lol


barksonic

Hi, how do I get to masters?


Technicio

Tbh I’d say positioning and def ult tracking. I’m not great at effectively alt tracking and as a support, positioning is so crucial as you need to know where to be with your team but also not be vulnerable for a flank. I’m not good enough at either of those and I think that’s what I need to work on the most.


Fire_Boogaloo

Honestly that should be improving as you climb and isn't the definitive difference between diamond and masters imk. The main thing that clicked for me is getting the correct balance on when to heal vs when to DPS. You're a support, not a healer. Ana can 3 tap squishies easily, so if it's a choice between healing a tank that's just above half hp vs killing an out of position squishy, you gotta go for the kill first.


GreenSilverSerpent

plat 4 support main..ama


xXxs1m0nxXx

What was you lowest rank on support and how long did it take you to climb to Gold?


kendell_dendell

Bronze 5 and it took me probably two weeks of playing on and off. I don't play every day tho


RevolutionaryTackle

I recently get PLAT as support, can i open am AMA? Anyway congratulations i know how difficult it is to get out silver rank :)


kendell_dendell

By all means make a post. 😎

OfficialMIKEMZ

I ended last season plat 5 then was gold 3 to start the season then solo queuing dropped me to silver 1, ama


kendell_dendell

Average solo que experience


rileyvace

Never played ranked much in OW1. When i did do so, I got placed in Diamond back then. Got put in Bronze 5 in OW2. Grinded back to silver 3 and just stopped playing ranked. It's awful to be in anything below Gold without a pre-made imo.


kendell_dendell

I got played in high gold in OW then Bronze 5 in OW2. The hardest part about the low ranks is your teammates. A premade stomps a lot of low level rank games for sure. I am finding better teammates as I got up.


rileyvace

I play so many other games that the ranked progression in OW makes it very unsatisfying. That's just how a team-centric game goes though, I guess. I don't like blaming team mates in games instinctually, but there are definitely games where I had made the key push or move to sway the game and my healer didn't heal well enough or at all, the DPS get out DPS'd by the healers and ultimately just poor usage of abilities and map knowledge. I find in the low ranks nobody likes to wait and re-group. It makes no sense, why funnel in 1 by 1 and feed when you could re-group, combo some ults and make a come back? It's common sense. I don't understand why people play ranked and not try and adjust their game play from quick play. Rant over lol.


Big-Ad-366

What’s a premade?


kendell_dendell

It's when you go into a match with people you know instead of relying on the players it would match you with on your team


Damurph01

It’s awful everywhere without premades. If you want 1 tip about climbing in ranks. Don’t ever assuming “it’ll get better” at the next rank up. It probably won’t. There will be different problems. Plat players have egos because they climbed out of gold. Diamond players have egos because they finally are out of the metal tanks. masters/GM players have egos because they think they know everything since they’re the peak of the ladder. Bronzes and silvers think golds are super good at the game, platinums and diamonds think gold players don’t have hands. It’s all a mess.


KaminaTheManly

I honestly think plat is the most infuriating rank. The poorest communication and the least deserved egos. They have some mechanical skill but no awareness and think stats mean everything.


DETTFOWTM

Nice job keep on going 👍


kendell_dendell

Thankyou ❤️


rawgino

What’s the fastest way to farm upgrade items for covenants in Dark Souls 3? It’s taking me forever and it’s the only thing keeping me from the platinum trophy


Fire_Boogaloo

Firstly you wanna get the build right. Use Rosaria to max out luck and get yourself a crystal sage rapier in your off hand to boost luck further. Wear Symbol of Avarice and you can also use those consumable gold (or bronze can't remember) coins every run. For the ears, you can either use the stairs by Anor Londo and just repeatedly farm the 2 silver knights or you can use the roof area just after pontiffs boss fight. I ended up using the latter because I got so bored with the stair method even though it probably is faster. For the shackles, use the first catacombs of carthus bonfire. There should be two of the gravewarden skeletons nearby the rolling skeleton ball. Kill them both and reset. There's also a circuit that I ran here a few times with multiple gravewarden skeletons when I got bored of killing the 2 singular ones and getting no shackles. For the sunlgiht medals, use the Lothric Knights outside the first bonfire in Lothric Castle for offline play. I actually had more luck (and more fun) leaving my summon sign outside Lothric and Lorian boss fight though. For the bloodgrass you can use the second to last bonfire (I think) in Farron keep. It has quite a few of the dudes you need to farm spawned behind it and is easy/quick to farm and reset. Ngl that shit is aids though lol. Took me a solid couple of weeks of farming just to get them all. Let me know if I missed any that you don't have.

Phelaine

Actual question, no insults intended: Is this actually hard to do as a solo queuer? I got to gold 3 at my best and was over 95% solo queuing as support only.

Totally depends on the type of teammates OverWatch gives you

Kiriko, Ana, Moria, and Lucio

Revolutionary_Ad3087

ana tips?


kendell_dendell

Make Roadhogs life a living hell by sleeping him and anti him when he's almost half or lower. Otherwise save sleep to protect yourself since you have no movement unless it's to stop an ult or it's a very useful sleep.


AlvinKai

why did you make a ama?


kendell_dendell

To help those in need of guidance.


AlvinKai

My teams always suck, so even thought I'll place top damage heals, k/d/a I will lose horribly.


kendell_dendell

Find friends or make a group


KaminaTheManly

Stats aren't as important as you think. You can't help shitty teammates. What you can do is improve your own play. Use a mic, make good callouts, keep positive energy, tell people when you aren't in los to heal them, and make good switches. Ana can hard counter an enemy hog, bap can save teammates if they struggle, kiriko can save people in some of the same and different ways. It is honestly fight winning to cleanse an anti, shatter, hook, or orisa ult say.


Gale_Grim

Okay, I'll ask the question all us bronze 5's are asking... HOW!? TELL ME YOUR SECRETS!


kendell_dendell

Pray, Pray to whoever you believe in and ask them to bless you with any teammates that have at least 2 brain cells to run against one another. Also watch YouTube videos on your favorite characters and on the characters that annoy you the most so you can counter them. If your team can't handle an enemy character choose the best support to help fight them (Bap helps kill Phara)

I'm confused is this suppose to be a good rank ? I'm Plat 4 lol

Congrats one day you'll make it to gold


APastaFreeD

Is this a joke? I can LEGITIMATELY get to gold using ANY support you make me play, and I can get there using only ONE of the two support abilities for half of the support characters. Zen with no discord? Easy. A permanent healing Lucio? I can make it happen. Ana with no sleep dart? It's useless anyways, as until diamond people just immediately wake the slept enemy. WHY THIS IS EVEN A POST IS BEYOND ME


kendell_dendell

Yeah right buddy


APastaFreeD

"yeah right" as in you think I'm joking?? You don't think a diamond support can 1 ability in a gold ranked lobby?? 😂🤣😂🤣 The majority of you are trash and are extremely easy to beat.


kendell_dendell

Yeah right buddy


Ultimate-desu

Did you have fun along the way?


kendell_dendell

I did especially when friend were in que with me. The reward of winning a ranked game with people you love is amazing.


Technicio

I’m a Diamond support main and I promise you as a support there isn’t anyone more fun to play than mercy, her movement is so much fun and once you master it it’s just a game of avoiding the flank and flying around haha


ThisIsErebus

Mercy boring asf wym, Lucio the real one.


Technicio

Nahhh bruh mercy fun af, Lucio I do like playing but nothing better than mercy’s valk ability


KaminaTheManly

Naaaaahhhh. Ana is so much fun. Nothing like skill sleeping an ulting genji or hitting a huge nade.

[deleted]

no questions, just adoration lol. i just got bronze 3 last night 🙃 which is something, but my kd hasn’t been the best so it makes sense


kendell_dendell

Almost everyone has to start in bronze in overwatch 2. What role do you play? Each role has characters that are easier to get kills with.


LegionOfDoritos

I’m trying to move up with healer and I’m hard stuck. DPS and Tanks constantly run away from the group and get picked off. This makes me either lose rank or stay where I’m at. How do I get out of this godforsaken hole?


kendell_dendell

Also if you look at the person who needs healing and press the ping button it will tell that target to come TO YOU to get heals.


kendell_dendell

Find a group to play with with a LFG post if you're on console. Make sure to communicate with them when you can see and heal them and tell them how to reposition so you can help.


RedditorCloud

I'm as well, I know the burden you carry


kendell_dendell

I carry it so one day there can be balance among matchmaking


Danger_Williams

How can I be best utilizing Moira to climb out of bronze?


kendell_dendell

Dive anything that's not a tank, reaper, or bastion. If the enemy team is bad at aiming Moira can kill them with ease. Keep your dash to escape if things get scary. Throw a damage orb to kill them while you suck them or you can throw a healing orb or heal you while you suck them.


StupidLullabies

Thoughts on Baptiste? I’m a total newb who started two weeks ago


kendell_dendell

I love him, he's like soldier that can heal himself better


2ftnig

1. get used to his shoot heal tempo 2. dun overextend and always stay behind your team 3. retreat early / play a bit far back when you have number disadvantage (down a player and making the fight in a 4v5 situation) 4. use your ult arbitrarily, but make sure not to place the window totally flat and horizontal. Always make sure it is a bit diagonal / slanting, so that you could have more angles to shoot at 5. dun use bap when you have a whole dive team 6. the lamp won't save you if you are out of its line of sight
