One thing I learned from this VOD that I don't think Emongg pointed out: At 15:30, the Bastion dies because they reloaded at a time when they didn't need to, and it's very possible you could have unconscious reload habits that are just wasteful and sometimes fight-turning. I am not sure it was a throw move in this case, I don't think I have the expertise to judge that, but I certainly feel that the Bastion had a higher chance of living if those few seconds spent reloading were instead used to provide the healing they needed at that point. So uh, I guess, check your reloads too when looking back at your VODs.
I’m a chronic reloader but never in a fight. I’m definitely a victim of firing one shot and then as soon as the enemy ducks back reloading, I only reload if I’m absolutely sure I have time otherwise I go for auto
ngl i do reload alot especially when i don’t need to i genuinely have no clue why i did notice it tried to stop but couldn’t lol idk if it has anything to do w my adhd
3:10 last night and ana nano'd me as Moira, while the entire enemy team was across the map and I was like I mean I can throw an orb but I can't do much from this range my dude
I love Kings Row so much but I play so much Samoa, Numbani, Penninsula, & flashpoint… always the junker one. Hate it so much, I just want interesting maps
Ana might be the best support to climb with its very hard to get into ‘elo hell’ with her. Honestly improve mechanics and they could probably rank up to plat 1
Bolster what they're already doing with nano, you don't want them to have to change gears. Wait for them to commit to engaging and then nano, so they can just do what they're already doing and get value out of it.
16:05 one thing i do wanna mention here is that the ana used both of her abilities on the tank, ik you talk about not wasting abilities and its just something I wanted to mention
I mean it actually does help. I unbound my crouch in Valo and it actually solved my habit of crouching while shooting even after. It kinda of flips a switch in your brain if you notice that it doesn't do anything anymore
This was a fantastic video, thank you emongg. I really appreciated this one. The positioning advice was top tier and will definitely help me in my games. I've been doing exceptionally well on Ana recently, even though it's a totally different playstyle to anything I've ever used before on any game. This advice is so applicable and helpful, you have no idea.
had to keep going back to that nano talk cause i also find myself nanoing and it ends up a waste because my thinking is also "i dont wanna hold on this nano" ToT bad thinking i know so still trying to work on that. and that sleep on 8:58 how did it miss TT ALSO if anyone ends up reading this TT i struggle with ana when it comes to sens a lot cause some days lower sens works then other days i have to notch it up? its a me problem i know :') should i just focus on getting used to one sens?
The sense it's fine, I'm also sometimes feel like my low sense is fast, and if i make it lower, i feel like it's too low, so I'm still getting use to the sense, As long as you don't missing lot of shots, good with positioning and use abilities well, I'm sure you'll be fine I would suggest find a custom game that can train your aim before any game so you can warm up and set up before each fight
It's one thing to claim "elo hell" in Diamond or high Plat where the skill range can be pretty drastic... Claiming "elo hell" after being Silver for years... No. You're just bad.
I find it mind boggling when people who used to be diamond or even plat saying they can’t leave silver. I sit around high gold sometimes plat and I’m a very casual player. At launch of OW2 I was put in bronze 5 and after rank reset silver 5. Both times I carried 90% of my matches until like gold 3
@@rickmich18 Yeah the rank system now is absolutely fkn busted too. I have endless screenshots of me getting more than my dps dmg combined, mitigating so much dmg that my team should never have gotten hit, and barely dying all game while still losing some of the easiest games ever. Elo hell may supposedly be mathematically impossible, but it sure does feel real sometimes near Diamond. ☠️
Silver is very weird, half of the time someone give up on one of the team for no reasons so it's just a lose, always feel like peoples argue more for nothing than in other rank
@@ItzSpritz RIP. Feels bad. I play Rein or Sig 99% of the time and Im not perfect, but many games are absolutely miserable with how much you can genuinely try to protect your time while out damaging them at the same time to make space yet get blamed almost every time.
im in silver placement and whenever a phara or echo need healing, they are always in a balcony inside. how tf can i heal you?!! atleast peak for me to heal you! 😭
The jump key, you could go to setting and personally set only Lucio to have a jump key. I would suggest that since you said Lucio need it for wall ride.
I once had an Ana on my team that would always stay at the front instead of the back. She was more playing like a tank player than a support 😂 (No offense to all my Ana people out there ❤)
I like to do this but only for a brief moment before the fight starts or to throw a nade around the corner, but I usually try to get back into a safe position.
There are definitely some games where I’ve forced Ana for her util but without any possibility to actually play back position lol. Some maps are absolutely not built for Ana but I have for sure played Ana frontline before lol, esp vs a hog or anyone getting too many heals. All in QP though I don’t like to play around in comp
I think that they can probably get back to plat without too much problem - they probably deranked less based on what they or anyone else did but because of the rebalance to how good Ana is based on changes that happened in the game around her. It hit passive players harder than active players.
Nah, they aren’t consistent enough with their sleeps or nades. They aren’t getting enough utility out of Ana’s kit, which is why they deranked. But, if they learn some consistency on those abilities, they will start climbing again.
Yeah I agree. I main ana and deranked around that time too. I switched to playing Kiri and Bap to rank back up. I also took Emongg’s advice of positioning and focusing on playmaking which has helped me get back into playing Ana in ranked and it’s working well. The many high mobility characters and maps has made Ana more difficult to play if you are not landing your playmaking abilities.
Work on your aim you are even missing un-scoped shots point blank. At diamond you miss half your shots and that person is dead. That’s a on you moment, also you stand so close because you can’t aim putting you in worse position.

This Ana has got to get out of the habit of if they take damage from behind their first instinct is to turn and immediately fire sleep dart

I don't see how unbinding the jump helps them though, they'd still have the habit of pressing the key but it just does nothing lol
I mean it actually does help. I unbound my crouch in Valo and it actually solved my habit of crouching while shooting even after. It kinda of flips a switch in your brain if you notice that it doesn't do anything anymore
This looks like a case of the tank being good enough to compensate for the Ana's mistakes

the key to consistency is understanding your teammates and enemy team enough to know what plays to make/not

Before watching, if you are in silver and have been in plat then the game resets, you probably belong in silver..
Huh?

Deleting your jump key bind automatically puts and keeps you in metal ranks and if there were lower ranks than that you'd be in those
im in silver placement and whenever a phara or echo need healing, they are always in a balcony inside. how tf can i heal you?!! atleast peak for me to heal you! 😭

Id give them peak high gold and that's it. Need to work on a lot of things
The jump key, you could go to setting and personally set only Lucio to have a jump key. I would suggest that since you said Lucio need it for wall ride.
Thinking you deserve diamond when you're in silver is a bit ambitious, I must say.
Especially after saying they got to plat and then that's it. They never were Dia in the first place. They play like high silver/low gold at max.
Ive joined the discord but it doesnt ket me message on any channels any ideas why?

metal rank it is.
At soon as the see the rank is plat or below I already know the answer to these videos lmao
no way he was plat lmao, bro fell off so hard he triggered an earthquake
Stop playing Ana like a close range support. Easy climb.
