A few tips from reading this.
- don’t call people out, not worth the effort and will just cause more issues.
- if someone tells you should be higher, that is a lovely compliment… but they are wrong, you will be where you deserve to be.
- throwers and other malicious players are extremely annoying, and they will impact the odd game. They will not impact a season.
I will watch the game now…
Immediately liked the bronze defence classics, Orissa Rein.
If your other tank has picked Orissa, you might be better off going to your off tank pick of D.Va.
One thing to learn from your team mate, if you play Orissa here, don’t stand in the choke. I am guessing she will just get melted.
1st minute, positioning is good, shield management is good. But when Bap presses Q, don’t peak it. Just wait. They weren’t pressing W so you could have just stayed out of the way taking no damage (as you’d lost your Zen). Luckily you won that fight though. Better players would have seen the Zen die, and rushed the Orissa to kill her.
Silly charge, got away with it, but then hit a big shatter. Shame there wasn’t the follow up. But the enemy are playing very passively.
Good decision to peel to take on the Rein.
Huge double counter charge and shatter. That was a good play.
Near the end. You know they have had Rein for a few fights now, and it is near the end of the round. You should be assuming they are going to panic rush and use ults. But instead you let the Rein walk past you and you tunnel visioned on a Bap lamp you didn’t need to deal with (it was a poorly used lamp).
So from the defence, position ok, shield use ok. Target priority was an issue. Tank choices worked this time, but general rule of thumb, Orissa Rein isn’t the most logical choice. Your supports played really well.
1 close range brawler, 1 long range spam. Suggests to me there was zero plan (which is the case 99% of the time in bronze). The rest of your team was spam based. So you might have been better with Sigma or D.Va.
Attack…
Rein D.Va… a much more balanced approach.
Now the enemy are playing the most bronze of all bronze comps…
Rein, Orissa, Torb, Bastion, Bap, Ana.
So once you see their comp you have to consider what you are doing and look at your comp. Your comp should be able to spam them out over time. Just build ults and plan your attack.
First fight you are standing in choke holding shield. But your team are not really doing anything with that. Hanzo is looking for an off angle, and Pharah is doing Pharah things.
This is when, if you were communicating I’d consider going back to spawn, swapping the supports to Lucio Moira and using speed to rush the 2 supports and 2 tanks right and all the way round to the high ground. Get the enemy turned around so the DPS can take advantage of their flanks.
Your D.Va got impatient… fed and died, leaving you wide open. Very easy to blame them for throwing themselves in… but you did stand in the choke for nearly a minute, doing nothing but take shield dmg and fire strike. Given their set up. You need to make a quick decision and call to go right, cross that short gap quickly and rotate round the map.
Your DPS getting picks is what won you that game. Not you.
Defence you were good, proactive and aggressive… on attack you just stood about doing very little and got lucky that the DPS got a couple of picks and the enemy gave up map control.
