I used to be an avid +2h daily Instagram consumer. It coincided with how I was studying an art degree at the same time, and It kinda didnt feel that bad since I used it on a Pinterest/art inspiration kind of way. That of course didnt last long, since even for artists, when IG started its reels war with TT, the platform just sucked bad and I completely left it. Not that interesting to receive dosages of unfiltered random videos.

Maybe sometimes I could end watching some DMs to later be caught by the stories doomscrolling (content that atleast was "curated" by friends)

That made me spend maybe 10-15 mins sometimes, at max (my average daily use was under 2min since the heavy algorithm era)

But now, to my surprise, I see that Instagram even pushes ads after the very first reel you consume. And is crazy how that helps at just making me insta close the hell out of that burning dumpster.

If any of you still rely to IG, I would recommend to atleast switch to reddit instead. Here theres some component of actual interaction. By the time someone discovers how to make us eat a bunch of video ads in between coments, well be F* Up. Maybe that would make me quit reddit too.

Hi! I enjoy a lot seeing master rank Wuyang games, and I try my best to learn from them. Im quite an average player in comparison, currently peaked at Gold 2 with waterboi, but really trying to spot my bad habits compared to those of higher lvl Wuyang players. I believe one of them is that I try to "blindly" save teamates too often, also paired with "overhealing", as in, beaming people when they are already at full health, partly due to not clearly reading if they are already healed / partly in case they receive instant damage or I want to 'refresh' the healing aura state on someone I have LoS. Speaking of the LoS healing aura, I also spot pro level players that dont pay that much attention of wether it is properly placed on a flanker or far player, rather, they just secure its getting value, even If its just for a tank eating severe damage.

I do believe the healing aura is always at better use with flankers, since they can recover from tricky fights easier, but at the same time, I guess when people play at high lvl, it is expected that people rely way more on rotating and map medkits.

Now, I don't want this to sound as excuse, but I would say that average lvl players just build a lot of bad habits on us supports, specially when ranking up at silver level: people just annoyingly asking for heals nonstop (they are a bit more gone in gold though), so I got this habit of kinda overhealing since people is reckless and dont mind peeking same corner twice, getting almost instadestroyed if it wasnt for my beam already running on them. Or thats my feel at least.

I'm trying to get rid of such stuff, and I believe the main thing that higher lvl players feature, is just better self sustain, as in (sounding a bit selfish), learning to not care THAT much about people that are already making the game hard for themselves, and just prioritizing my own survival. I know numbers arent everything, but when comparing my stats to those of a pro, It catches my eye that pro people just survive quite a lot more.

For context, even me having a greater k/d overall ratio (im at 2,40 compared to 2,27 of one pro guy), and knowing this is a game of nuances, I kinda see that high level Wuyang thrives in maxing the spamming. Im kinda too focused on finishing people, when in reality, I get the impression from this player, that Wuyang is actually at top value when obstructing lines with orbs. Kinda like how obnoxious a lucky Hanzo arrow feels on the receiving end.

If im not sounding clear enough, this guy im comparing just outputs almost +1000 more dmg per 10min average than me, while securing a bit less kills and getting killed significantly less. Think of a 5700dmg 15k/6d vs 6500dmg 12k/5d difference, so If my asumption is right, I should prioritize a bit more of self sustain (less risky positions, less panick savings), in favour of spamming lines way more. Ading to this, I've encountered not that many good Wuyangs against mine, but totally spotted the good ones one they spam the line like hell. It happens that people tend to feel overconfident peeking the same spot only to eat a whole orb on the face.

Anyways, would love to attach some replays of mine for also getting some feedback, but season is almost here and I doubt any player will be on reddit now lol, in the meantime, would love to read any debate you guys have regarding how you think climbing our Waterguy works!
