    It's amazing how often playing as Zen in Quickplay when using Transcendence to swing a fight, only to watch my entire team run away outside of the AoE the second it goes off, like they were allergic to healing. It'll be nice when the common players start to know what the character abilities actually do again.

      @@xXWyTeBreaDXx Seriously, I forgot that this was what the first couple seasons of OW1 were like, and it was like a weird flashback. I figured that the SUPER new players having a process to learn and unlock characters would've hopefully curbed that a bit more.

      @PierceArner Год назад +16

      @@ghostirq Even when you give clear "Group up" "Push forward" or "Come to me for healing" it's like they don't understand. When holding off a push where the full opposing team is almost at the goal, I've literally watched my tank and both DPS dash away in different directions from me AND the robot to all stand JUST outside the Trancendence range and get killed… As I'm just floating there, helplessly invincible just sighing, and saying "Hello" to the full enemy team waiting for the Ult to end.
      With newer players, it's like the glow of Zen's Trance is flicking on the light in a seedy apartment and watching all the cockroaches scatter out of sight instantly.

    Playing support is a criminally underrated role. Nobody plays it because they think it’s boring when it’s probably the fastest paced role in the game. I main zen and every second of the match I’m shooting at enemies and making sure my team has heals. There’s zero downtime when playing support. It’s very engaging

    Something I can add to this, if I could add anything, is that as a life-long support main, I've noticed that a lot of people see supports as basically healbots, they do nothing but heal. The mindset you SHOULD adopt as a support is you are another fighter in the match who just so happens to be able to heal as part of their kit. Don't be afraid to left click and throw some damage out, you can do more than just heal.
    EDIT: Also, I know this guide is broad strokes, but I'd have liked to see more attention to Lucio's playstyle in general because he is very unique in what he brings to the fight. His mobility is a skill all on it's own, but his ability to be anywhere at anytime allows him to place big heals where they need to be. But more importantly, is knowing who and when to speed, because speed song can win fights when done correctly. Honestly, I love nothing more than having an aggressive Rein who I can speed around to allow him to swing into the enemy team when they aren't expecting it.

    • @InceyWincey
      @InceyWincey Год назад

      Speed song can win fights, but I’ve lost a lot of fights because I’m still on 200HP as the tank after the last fight and the Lucio has been wall riding round directly next to me and hasn’t bothered to switch tracks.

    Great video, I'm glad to finally have a comprehensive guide. I'm a tank main and I've been off-role for the past few days because my entire playstyle just doesn't work anymore, so I've just been waiting for someone to make a general guide to help me improve on that.
    Also I'm so glad to hear you're making a video on push, I hate that mode mostly because I don't fully understand how to play it well. My positioning on these maps in particular is very, very bad.
    One part I'm really struggling with is support positioning. I know mine sucks, and I know how important it is, but I'm not quite sure what good positioning means for a support.

    In a 1v1 Roadhog can decimate a lot of other tanks.

It's so much damage. Not to mention he heals himself.

      Out of the entire team tank is the most important to protect the team or to skirmish so dps can be safe. But then the most difficult character to play is support cause they need to know when,where,how and who to support. Dps thinks about killing the other team mostly the healer and thr objective thats whay less then the support. Thats why people should start to respect good supports. They have alot of game knowledge.

      First, learning the sight lines on maps is huge, because it's all about how you position yourself in proximity to your tank and the objective on push maps where you're most likely to get flanked.
      Second is making sure to use your Ping frequently to tag flankers and your discord targets. That helps your team know when they need to assist or help you out.
      Third is use the fact that you don't make movement sound to your advantage both in approaching on flanks to catch others off guard, as well as identifying where enemies are you Ping about them to your team.
      I tend to vary between living on the payload and circling around it, especially on Push maps to keep you close to people and make it harder to isolate and dive you.
      Alternatively if you have more mobile DPS or Kirito who can warp to you, sitting back a bit where the enemy is just at the range of your Discord and listening for flanks while providing suppressing fire because your damage doesn't fall off at range.
      Keep in mind that enemy tanks like Ball and DVa _REALLY_ want you to be split back a little too far, so that they'll be able to leapfrog into you, mow you down, and leap back out. Other DPS like Sombra, Genji, and even aggressive Moira can hit-and-run you hard if you don't have a Tank or DPS to help split their focus.
      Lastly is that Soujourn is just… your biggest threat. With her insane damage and you having no mobility to escape her AoE, she can SHRED you - especially with Moira's orb being tossed in to that mix. Unless you have DVa, Sigma, or Winston to stick semi-close to or another DPS dangerous enough to keep her attention occupied… she'll always be brutal to deal with.

    • @PierceArner
      @PierceArner Год назад +1

      A couple other things that're also helpful that I just remembered are that you're there to kick stuff now. That CC will help you be less afraid of being up-close to the action and can be critical in spooking flankers like Sombra, Genji, and Tracer. Zooming irregular figure eights around the Robot to keep out of sight lines, and snap kicking enemies away from you and your teammates when they try to close in on you can be massively helpful.
      You make no sound moving, and oftentimes a well-placed foot is the best counter to an enemy who isn't expecting you. That chunk of damage with a Discord Orb not only makes for a good deterrent, but it allows you to be way more versatile assisting DPS splitting off on flanks. You can get some really cheeky boop kills on maps like the final push of King's Row or Ilios that were never even an option before.
      There's also some nuance to your Ultimate setup & usage. I will _ALWAYS_ try to make sure to have Harmony & Discord on the Tanks before using Trance. You can't deploy them after and because 5v5 statistically swings the fight in your favor with each side's single Tank's momentum, they're the most important target to have marked while you can't redeploy those orbs.
      Transcendence _can_ still help to negate an enemy offensive ult, but since there are no tag-team-Tank ults to worry about, it's often even better at maintaining momentum following another teammate's Ult that needs a little assistance to swing the battle. Ex: if Junker Queen's ult doesn't quite finish the job, Trance can keep that same advantage of outhealing your team even when the enemies are no longer anti'd, especially if the enemy gets a pick & suddenly has a man advantage. Same is when you have a push and they're or are trying a risky ult to pop off with in retaliation that you can't directly counter, but can swing the odds for (especially with the aforementioned pre-Trance orb placement). Because you only have 4 teammates, you have to make those calls FAST and what _can_ effectively swing a fight to a win looks different to how you're used to judging an OW1 6v6 on who's alive.
      Trance's speed also means that you can go off on a flank with a quicker DPS Genji, Soldier, Echo, etc. and then pincer back into your own team on point with Trance so that you can heal both groups as you close in around them, and then end Trance with you back in a safe position instead of using a DPS ult. That works both if the DPS don't have theirs yet and you need that momentum now, or if you want to save theirs for a better engagement.
      That all gets easier the more comfortable you get with the VERY different ebb and flow of positioning on the maps, pinging targets, and cadence of the combat engagement flow. Overall, it feels VERY different to where you'd be and when you'd act in OW1 a lot of the time - especially at first. The tempo of OW2 takes some getting the hang of that, but when you do, that will really help you know when to flank, when to fight up close, when to use Trance to push that momentum to tip the scales & when to hold off - because that's often going to be in very different situations when those choices will make the biggest impact.
      Also, keep in mind that whether your team supports your calls and is there to act in tandem with you makes a big difference as well. My biggest struggle is newer players in quickplay seeing a big AoE appear and running away, not knowing Trance is there to HELP them.
      I'm very much looking forward to the guide from Your Overwatch on him, as I know there's a bunch of stuff I can still improve on. As a Zen main, this tl;dr is how things have been for me finally feeling like I'm getting a good handle on him in this game.
      I also felt the transition into OW2 was a little rough going at first, and I felt really helpless getting into it during the first week, but I absolutely love it now - even with Soujourn being terrifying.

      I have found that if a Winston/dva/ham decided they are going for zen, you aren't going to out play it. If your team isn't doing something to counter, you should reallly switch off zen.

    • @PierceArner

      @@beaug4306 The enemy constantly killing one of your healers is a _team problem,_ because they're all left playing a 4v5 whenever that happens. If they're not doing something to counter that, *the issue is your team - **_not your pick._*
      Swapping might give you a better chance at winning without any help, but the underlying issue isn't you playing Zen - _it's your team not working together._ You should be able to Discord them and burst them down with assistance, since the enemy tank's location should always be a key focus.
      If you're getting picked off and your team isn't able to mobilize effectively to help you maintain a viable position while pushing momentum forward - you should switch.
      It's always important to remember that at MOST levels of play, synergizing with someone's first pick is almost always going to be better than forcing them to a "stronger" pick that they're less familiar with - especially if your team already isn't playing together to work with you.

    This is why I roll people over as a tank. I don't play the objective, in push or payload maps I will for sure camp at the next choke pushing the enemy team aggressively while our tracer/lucio/ana sits at the point getting free progress. And in koth and hybrid maps I will sit AROUND the objective, falling back and giving them temporary control of the point seeing them waste all their important CDs. Then I will push in with my own ones (DVA rockets, zarya bubbles and high energy, winston bubble, etc) and they can't do anything about it as I flex my superior health pool against their backline. And because most people still focus me instead of my dps or healers I will make so much space for my dps to clean up

    This is a great video!! Probably one of the best i have seen at describing whats going on under the hood when you come up agenst an given team comp. I would love to see a video that basically takes the context of this video and puts it into real world examples.
    I play support in mid gold and I really struggle at identifying whats going wrong and how i can help make it better. Dealing with dive is an easy example with moria, lucio, or brig. But what about DPS that like to over extend, or tanks that never turn around to look where their team is and push in to far. How do you deal with a snowball and no amout of healing is helping and the team cant seem to get anything done. How do I make the best of a junkrat one trick playing into an eco and phara, or a team that wont sync up and we constantly take 4 v5. I see all this stuff happening but i dont know how to at least make the best of it.

    Right now, I'm struggling with securing kills. First off, I'll say that I'm returning to Overwatch after a long time and I am trying to focus on the poke hitscan heroes you mentioned since they are simple and I want to build my fundamentals. A lot of heroes seem fairly survivable, whether they be DPS, support, or especially tank heroes, and can often buy enough time to get healed. It also helps that Overwatch has the craziest strafing mobility and running animations I have ever seen so landing shots is insanely difficult in the first place. The window of time to take advantage of an engagement and deal meaningful damage before the enemy recovers is deceptively short considering the average time to kill

    • @StephenKatt
      @StephenKatt Год назад

      I've been feeling the same, although I usually play support since dps matchmaking time is so long. I think the engagement ranges have a lot to do with this. For some reason I'm doing really well as Cassidy, but really bad with Ashe. I think Soldier had some big nerfs to his long distance dmg which does make it really hard to finish people. Sojourn also can't deal very good dmg at range except with the right click, so you have to find decent left click targets up close.

    19:20 - It’s interesting because I seem to get most value out of Brig when I am backlining the enemy team and beating their flankers. But I do understand especially since Brig’s first introduction to OW1 that her kit has mainly shifted to being defensive. I think you still get great value from being aggressive with her if even a bit “reckless”.

  • @whatrnames

    • @Chlo_R0
      @Chlo_R0 Год назад

      Same here, I have an 85% win rate and 3 hours on Brig. I'm in the lower ranks right now (currently silver tier 4), so that may be a factor.
      But I've actually found the most value not using her as described in the video. I've instead used her to carry whoever happens to be carrying my team the most each game. Usually that's a Zarya or Rein. I go in to shield bash or whip an enemy tank or DPS back as my team's tank/DPS is about to die.
      I had one game where it was death ball v death ball, Rein v Rein, and I saved Rein and DPS from being pinned out of position with my shield bash a lot. I died A LOT from saving my teammates that game, but we were consistently winning team fights. So it's kinda hard for me to argue against the strat working, even if it means a higher than average death count for me in some matches like that.
      Might just be the lower rank though, hard to say ¯\_(ツ)_/¯

    And how to time things in Overwatch. Which abilities do well together and how to get them up roughly the same time.

    The biggest struggle I have had so far, is having a team play fundamentally. Turbo feeding tanks or full agro Moria’s. My mechanics are absolute trash and I know it’s the only thing holding me back in my rank. Yet, to see a Moria start off my throwing a damage orb at the start of a match, fade back to choke while the opposing team advances. Then it comes time for our first team fight and our moria’s abilities are on cooldown, we get smoked and then start feeding is so frustrating to me.
