Got lucky - now which one do I buy?

Got lucky - now which one do I buy?

I honestly don't know which one is considered the 'rarest' or most used. Any thoughts?

Do you guys destroy ball mines with your Ult, or is this a waste?

So everyone gave a lot of love to my first post so here I am again. This Ult started as healing up the Rein but then turned into destroying the mines. Do you think I made the right call? Also got this sweet skin out of the vault this week.

Finally hit Diamond today for the first time. ✌️☮️

For the longest time I was hard stuck in high silver/low gold and couldn’t understand why I wasn’t better. I know I’m still not great, but I’m just happy to be able to say I’ve achieved diamond with my favorite hero. 🧘‍♂️

Not Tranquil - Plat Zenyatta VOD Request

Hello everyone, I'm a Zenyatta player hovering around Plat 4 at the moment. I started around the release of Jetpack Cat and have been stuck in Plat since. I've been struggling a lot with playing against dive characters (doom and genji particularly) but I've found that I've just been dying way too much. I also feel that I get a bit stuck in harmony orb switching season, but I'm looking for things that I can focus on improving during comp games / flaws that are causing my losses.

Thanks in advance for the advice!

Concept for new Zenyatta minor perks

I think zen needs better minor perks. I made these concepts and would like to know if these are better than the current ones he has

The life steal perk is both boring AND weak. I think my ideas would make managing the orbs a little bit more interesing rather than a plain buff

Also, the hover perk does have it's uses, of course, so i think it deserves to be integrated to the base kit along side this concept

Feel free to say anything about it. If it's bad, it's bad. If it's good, it's good.

If my wording on the image is vague, i'll do my best to explain what i meant properly

Keeping my team in the game (we still lost)

This was one of my best Zen games in a while. Hurt to lose this one. But this was a nice 3K in overtime.

Is playing Zenyatta bad at low elo ? My friend think so. (I'm Silver)

Hello ! 👋

I am new to the game, playing with some friends that played a bit more than me (the best one is gold, let's name him Lenny.)

I love Zen. He lacks heals, but that's kind of the main thing with him : less heal, but more damage, and the discord orb which is pretty powerful.

Thing is, Lenny HATES to see me play Zen. Because, in his words :

• "He doesn't have enough heals, and at low level you need to have supports that heals a lot"

and,

• "Low elo players do not know how to play with him, he needs to be protected, and call-out discords all the time. Just play Kiriko."

I can get behind the first point. I understand that having a lot of healing capabilities at low level, where player make the most mistakes, can save a lot of lives.
But, on the other hand, I think discord orb also take advantage of the ennemy's poor positionning to balance this out. If the ennemy dies, it's quite like effective healing isn't it ?

I kinda disagree with the second point : as much as I can understand the fact that I get usually killed when dove by a DPS, I do think that it's not just a "Team" issue, and that I can overcome this problem by better positionning and aim. Also Kiriko is not a "better zen", even thought she does seem to gain more value for less efforts ?

I also understand that it may not be a good idea to play Zen if my other support is, say, a diving Lucio or a Cat since they lack big healing and have a tendancy to be close to the ennemies harassing them.

I want you guys advice because I love Zen, but I constantly get flammed by friends due to "lack of heals" or "I should just switch to a good healer" (So I play Baptiste ;-;).

Thank you all very, very much for the answers, and I wish you a very good day ! ✨

Damage output vs other support

I often struggle to deal a lot of damage on Zen, and the other support will have both higher damage and heals than me. Though I feel my damage can be more valuable as I contribute more directly to securing kills by strategical targeting than for example a Moria spamming damage orbs. It's also not easy to measure the value of discord.

Should I swap off Zen if I feel like I could get the same amount of damage with another support with higher healing output?
