Enemy Mei ruined my game (Mostly Shion but some Junkrat in the end)

Replay code: J9B7F8

Battletag / in-game username: MementoMori

Hero(es) played: Shion, Junkrat

Skill tier / rank: bronze 2

Map: Hollywood

Description of the match / things you want reviewed:

Before I start, I’m really sorry for spamming this subreddit with VOD requests, I’m fairly new and I dunno where else to get gameplay advice.

Anyway, first round in attack went great. Then one of the enemy dps switched to Mei and everything fell apart. This stupid ice monster was constantly walling me, flanking me and slowing me with her gun (ironic that the character classed as a flanker was being flanked herself)

Near the end I fully had enough of her, and in a vain attempt I switched to Junkrat, the logic being that I could at least break her walls (when playing Marvel Rivals I’ve had plenty of experience of switching to Squirrel Girl to break Groot walls, which seemed to me like the OW equivalent)

In terms of my own gameplay, I’ve been trying to play a lot of “shallow off angles” with Shion lately rather than hard diving like I used to when I first started playing her. In this game it helps that my Reaper was doing the real hard diving, he was legit really good.

I’m usually really bad at flanking in Marvel Rivals but when Shion dropped I really liked her kit and I found her super fun to play with without feeling like I was cheesing my way through the game (cough Sierra cough). I’ve been trying to look up as many Shion guides as I can, and I’m aware that because she’s so new, the experts might not have fully figured her out yet.

I am fully aware that there were several times from round 2 onwards where I just didn’t know where to look and was completely lost, that’s because as well as the Mei flanking me, there was a super annoying enemy Tracer, so every time I thought I heard footsteps behind me I would always look back.

Let me know what I need to improve on, and thanks in advance ❤️

Trying out tank

Replay code: F02WBG

Hero(es) played: Junker Queen

Skill tier / rank: placement match but it says I’m currently predicted for bronze 2

This is my first attempt at playing tank in comp after a few quick play tank games.

By far the biggest problem is that we had a DPS Moira on the team and she almost cost us the defense round. Literally EVERYONE was complaining in text chat about her but she was just like “nope, suck it up”. I couldn’t hit “avoid as teammate” fast enough. Our Bap was also doing a lot of dpsing but the difference was he was actually healing us and did a lot of good for our team unlike the Moira.

If it wasn’t for me going “screw it” and taking out the enemy supports they would’ve capped that third point.

I do think my issues are occasionally forgetting to take cover and play around corners, and effectively using her “one shot combo” (knife throw, knife pull, axe) on squishies and even a couple times I threw it at a tank without thinking. Let me know what else I need fixing bc otherwise I only know a couple things about Queen’s playstyle 😊

Thanks in advance!

Another day another derank

Replay code: JW8EVY

Battletag / in-game username: MementoMori

Hero(es) played: Juno

Skill tier / rank: Silver 5

After managing to get back to silver I deranked again

The main problem is that the enemy Emre was CONSTANTLY blasting us and its like no amount of pings and no amount of text chats would convince my idiot teammates to pay attention to him. (Btw this seems to be a theme in my ranked games today)

I dunno what else I could’ve done to help, I feel like I could’ve played better but I still don’t know how

Thanks in advance

Deranked to bronze on Juno, need a review

I just deranked from silver 5 to bronze 1 on 5v5 support and I’m really annoyed, especially as I don’t know what and if I did anything wrong bc I’m fairly new to this game.

The first round went great, then lost the last two matches bc one of the enemy dps switched to Bastion and I kept getting mowed down by this stupid robot when I wasn’t getting slammed to death by Doomfist.

I have read quite a few Juno guides so it’s not like I’m totally clueless as to how I’m supposed to play her.

Please help me, thanks in advance

New OW player wants to get out of bronze

Hey guys I’m a GM peak Marvel Rivals transplant (don’t hate me) and I’ve been trying to learn OW on and off the last few months but I’ve now decided to grind. Currently I’m bronze 2 on damage and silver 5 on support.

I’ve really taken to the new character Shion even though I don’t have much experience on flanking characters. The main issue I have is being caught out and instantly melted when trying to dive supports.

On support the only character I feel like I do well on is Juno even though I mostly play support on MR. I’ve read a lot of guides on her but I’m a bit confused on when best to use her ring and her ult.

What’s your advice for climbing up out of bronze/silver?

Rant: fed up of Netease doing nothing about serial throwers

Above I have the screenshots of the text chat and the replay code

So we do great the first round, then all of a sudden our ace starts throwing by switching to Widow and sitting afk in spawn. We lose in round 4 btw.

He then brags that he’s a serial thrower and that he’s never been banned for it. After reporting him in game, I tried contacting Netease’s customer support directly bc I don’t trust their in game report system anymore and they just told me “report them in game and we’ll look into it”

I’m so fed up of them doing nothing about the thrower problem. It’s like every couple of games I get someone throwing and I’m fed up of it. They’ll make this big song and dance about zero tolerance for cheaters but they won’t do anything about the other big problem ruining this game.
