Individual Rank vs Duos
Hello!
​
I recently started playing comp with my sister, and I noticed that we perform worse when playing together.
​
We both play support. I main Zen, flex to Cat & LW.
​
She mains Kiri, flex to Ana, Mizuki, or Mercy.
​
When we played separately, we both ranked between Gold 4-Gold 5. However, this last season we played together, we dropped to Silver 2-3. I know that's not super significant, but I was wondering if anyone had any insight as to what may be causing this? And how to fix it.
​
I'm not home, so I don't have any videos to provide, but ask me whatever information is relevant. I'm not sure what to offer.
​
I have played all 3 roles in comp before, and I ended up around Gold 4 for all 3, so I'm gonna assume my overall skill level is just low gold. She only plays support. It's been about 3 seasons since I did dps or tank, though.
Brush/Supply Questions
Hello! I live in a very rural area, and my groomer moved out of town. I'll still be able to get my pets to a groomer, but significantly less often because of distance.
I have an Australian Shepherd and a long-haired cat. My cat is prone to matting since he's getting old. He's a stray, so I can't provide a breed reference for coat type. He has vey fine and soft fur. Average density. 2-4 inches long, longest at his chest and tail.
I typically use a basic pet brush for daily maintenance, but I know that isn't sufficient without regular grooming.
What brushes/combs do you recommend? Are there any other necessary products? Are there any specific brands? Preferably something I can order online.
I already clip their nails, but I'll take recommendations for clippers, too!
