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 ❤️
