Ever since the start of the szn ive had like 3 instances where the other support thats coupled with a cnd on my team js loses their shit cuz they cnd js never patty cake. I main dps n flex to tank so i was js curious if this is a real thing amongst support players recently or was it js an elo problem. N to any cnd players idk if yall should keep doing this or not on one hand the crash outs be funny asl on the other my elo is so lost 💔

I started playing on a ps4 and basically only played tank and got upwards of 5 lords 1 champ and consistently placed diamond to low gm, then i got really sick of the ps4's crashes so i saved up n bought a gaming laptop to play on. I really found alot of dps much more freeing and fun on pc and i always was really interested into playing torch i liked everything about his kit n design on console but js never had the mechanics to play him on controller, i peaked gold 1 by one tricking him for like a half of 8.5 and i think i kinda got boosted cuz my mechanics js sucked my accuracy was super inconsistent and everything about my gameplay was/is js lowk a mess. This szn i played with black cat's new team ups n really liked how the character played out all around and that she is actually decent rn. Js for context my placements playing torch ended 5 5 and placed gold 3 and easily climbed back up to gold 2 by js getting lucky with teammates igs then i decided to js pick up cat and play her till i get good with her anddddd now I'm like 12 hours into playing her and long story short i have like a 30% wr on her. And very very consistently the worst preforming player on my team every game, my match history looks like a recently washed pavement with how much grey there is going on

So my mechanics r too terrible to play torch or elsa

My gamesense is too abhorrent to play black cat and i js don't enjoy the rest of the dps cast as much as these 3. I tried asking around in subs for character specific vod reviewing and stuff and alot of ppl were extremely kind enough to help my garbage ass out but i feel like i never really improve what so ever. So i kinda js have 0 clue how to improve at all

PSA

if ur tip to me will be chill out n stop taking the game too seriously keep the reply to urself. I really really hate sucking so much at anything but especially when its a game i played so much on a different platform.

I picked her up this szn cuz i already liked her gameplay loop at launch but hated how she had wall hacks cuz in general i think its a pretty cringe and unfun mechanic to have in a game full of characters that thrive on diving/flanking so here we r now with me picking her up now

Since then tho i did switch platforms from console to pc been a month or more so far on pc n i still kinda js suck at all the dps characters i play altho i was like diamond 1 on my console account playing only tanks tbh.

Either way i picked cat up this szn at the start and the learning curve is definitely pretty steep so far but i do believe i am improving but idk y i genuinely cant win with her if my life is on the line, even when i play qm with my console friends i can play decently well and js never win i currently have like 37% wr on her altho non of my other stats reflect a performance worthy of that wr relative to my low ass rank rn tbf so I'm open for any and all suggestions as well as potential VOD reviews from anyone who is in a rank high enough to educate me about the character and all the mistakes i most definitely do.

As an avid support despiser who cant stand filling the role, jubilee is the first support to have an actually really really fun gameplay loop i LOVE how u can't js heal bot with ur base primary cuz it doesn't do enough healing on its own so u have to try n like minmax ur smg like form while managing the ppl u spark and stuff js such a cool character thats really getting overshadowed by how massive the update she came with was. And not to mention if u have good tracking ur heavily rewarded for it cuz u can actually like solo melt most divers and especially dive tanks with that hood team up that allows u to crit. And I'm happy they released her in a solid balanced state (tho i really don't think she should've gotten much buffs besides like a very minimal ult charge reduction maybe from the most recent hotfix)

So I'm an all tank main on console but i recently got n on pc and really wanted to 2 trick torch starlord (i was a big fan of torch's character designs even on console but u never mained him cuz my aim stucked, lil did ik it will be equally abysmal on kbm too lol💔)to my console rank (d1). I've been playing for a good bit now so. I'm semi familiar with the pc binds experience n what not. Besides that tho everything is down hill from here, my mechanics r truly an anomaly compared to ANY of humanity's creations, my cooldown management is really really poor, idk how bad my gamesense is since I don't have much reference outside of mikesaboveu's guide, which i watched. I'm currently silver 2 n genuinely got banned for like 4 hours cuz my team reported me for throwing n igs it checked out to the system BUT i promise i was trying 😭. I understand the character has a really really steep learning curve but I have no idea how to get over it what so ever if u wanna VOD review me my user is Yapinator-ish. ANY AND ALL TIPS R MORE THAN ACCEPTED.

So I'm a console player who recently got a gaming laptop and started trying to play all my non melee characters that i enjoy playing (mainly groot torch psy starlord n mantis) on pc but I've been having a very weird thing where i try to get kills on bots in the practice range on starlord mostly but likewise for others and i find myself doing pretty well i average like 6-8 kills per min of 3 lunas moving super fast on random and end up with like 38-42% accuracy and likewise for even like the doom matches i played as starlord, but when i q up into a comp game (currently bronze 1) i cant seem to even half clip semi consistently and i have no idea why that is.

​

All that said I've never even touched a game on kbm before so i did come in expecting to be completed garbage but then assumed i was some sort of natural after like a day or 2 of straight practice range and doom matches to familiarize myself with all these inputs and bhops cuz my accuracy seemed to be pretty sweet. I'm open for any recommendations for settings n stuff I'm currently js rolling with like 3.2 3.2 cuz it felt nice a friend of mine recommended i take the flick aimlabs test thing and it gave me an ingame aimlabs sens that I don't really know how to input into rivals, I'm also open for aimlabs drills that might help too as long as ur down to kinda guide me through how to do some of them or how to even use aimlabs cux I'm as inexperienced as it possibly gets.

I've mained tank and OTPed angela to gm2 but at some point got bored and now looking to get a dps arc going(mostly focused on hitscans any maybe torch), ive played a fair bit of starlord my aim started out really bad but i feel like its getting better ? I really don't know tbf I'm still doing my lvl 15 qm grind on the dps only account so i can start figuring out ranked n stuff but i think my gamesense with him is pretty solid, i always gravitate towards characters with straight forward stuff like movement ability does js movement n shi. that said i really don't have much experience with aiming in hero shooters so I'm guessing it will definitely take a while before i get to appropriate accuracy percentages. I did record some practice range drills they're all pretty short n brief so feel free to check em out n lmk wyt all around also feel free to review a game or 2 of the qm matches ive played some of em i feel like i did really well others i feel like i did terribly but in general i mostly feel like my aim is like slightly below average n really inconsistent depending on the character I'm facing.

These r the drills i mentioned and i show my name at the start n end of every clip so u can check out my profile n review me some games if u want to.

I see alot of ppl say hulk is very very good at carrying games and is lowk a ladder demon. i picked him up a while back and still play him but never really vid reviewed or watched hulk tips or stuff that could guide me on what to do, i always js played him similar to angela since i felt both of them were equally as versatile and played similarly as flexible. So what i would like to get some tips on how i can improve my hulk, for all ik i miss alot of exiles and consistently shit the bed with my ults. Altho these r pretty significant on their own and i would love some tips on how to improve them i definitely think I'm lacking alot of stuff that I'm js ignorant to cuz idk they may be wrong or holding me back. My user is Yapinator-ish feel free to check hulk games my most recent one was on a krakoa map and i was like 16 7 or so that i lost and definitely think i was a big reason on why we lost.

Ok so i made 4 pretty short videos (the longest one is 1:17 mins) of me aim training with psylocke in the range, every video has a different practice range setting to get u a good idea on all my corners of aiming so it say.

Close range aim assist on

Those r my psy settings, for other less close range hitscan u put my eye gazing minimum at 2 and ease in at 75.

Feel free to share ur suggestions especially if ur educated about this kind of stuff any expert help is more than much appreciated seriously.

I've never been too into hero shooters until rivals so i never really bothered with proper aim or honing in any aiming techniques i could've needed mostly js played single player stuff.

So naturally due to my inexpertise with this type of stuff i went around asking ppl who play the characters I'm interested in playing and getting really good at (venom psylocke starlord mantis luna) for settings they found to work for them and some of them were improvement for sure but nothing that blows me out of the waters, then i stumbled across a person in a TikTok comment section who told me that controller settings should be pretty personalized so that they fit the movements ur thumb is most likely to do. How legitimate that is ? I have no idea but he said u can easily know what u need to tailor about ur settings once u understand what every panel does to ur right stick.

So that said what should i do Js stick to what I'm already using for mainly psy and mantis rn and see if repetition does its thing or would someone actually be able to analyze my practice range stuff and lmk what i could change to tailor my settings to me most?

I played with her a couple of time now and she's dare i say the first actually fun and engaging support I've played in this game. I had a couple of questions mainly about what do i do in my neutral? am i looking to off angle ? Am i looking to shot tanks to farm my ult ? Are there any match ups that r super unfavourable for mantis that i should be notified about? My aim on her is average to below average if i had to guess tho I really really like how her primary feels idk how to explain it. And most importantly is she viable in a double support comp at all with average aim and assuming the pilot knows what he's doing ?
