Plat as a support is a very CONFUSING ELO to be in Overwatch 2 

Me as ana trying to heal a genji

Flankers need to heal themselves. You’re not going to be an effective flanker if you don’t know where the healpads are.

@@logseman5959 There have been a few sombra games where I'm just begging our supports to ignore me. I've been chilling in the backline waiting for an opportunity only to have a kiriko tp to me and get us both killed, not to even mention the fucking mercy beams

@@techwizsmith7963 when i play with sombras i always get yelled at for not throwing myself into the enemy backline to heal them

@@calypselle2254 Lmao, they're bad sombras. Ignore them, they should be grabbing health packs

Lol not even Kirko specifically, that's just plat in general. I play tank and end up saying this all the time lol

Lúcio? Same.

dude i play ana and sometimes i have 0 deaths and the rest of the team has 5 already. like all i can do is walk for my life and im somehow out living our mercy

@@iSuckAtGamesGG mercy is hardfocus. She holds the entire team up, most times. The flow chart goes> don't hit tanks, ur feeding > kill heals > goddamnit mercy is healing the ana> kill mercy.

@@MrMannGaming try to peel for your backline more. You should be dying first, or around the same time, not last. Which doesn't mean feed. It means make sure if someone is hitting your supports, they PAY FOR THAT SHIT. 🤣

Or in my case, "Behind A Damn Wall!" Especially on the new maps. I can't count how many times I've been Healing, as Mercy, down an alley or corridor and the person I'm healing moves away from the alley or corridor I'm standing in and immediately dies. Like, you KNOW where I am because there's a big ass beam linking us and you, willingly, put a wall between us. That's on you buddy. I can't beam or fly through a physical wall. Like if I'm playing Zen or Ana, fair enough, but if I'm Mercy, there's no excuse for that. Mercy's Heal is a fat ass yellow beam. There's no excuse for not knowing where your Mercy is, especially if YOU are the one being pocketed.

Asked for healing once when i was right behind my kiriko as ana, then she teleports away and says come to me for healing lol

@@Zachebi I've had that happen more times than I can count. And I can do you one bettter. I've stood in my healer's face, literally at 1 HP, spamming "Need Healing" and my healer just ignores me as they casually walk away and I get one-tapped in the back of the head.

@@ForeverDegenerate lol pain yeah i’ve had that happen a lot, but thats usually them intentionally throwing not just clueless

@@ForeverDegenerateMoira players will walk past you and shoot their orb to do dmg and STILL won’t heal you like??

The premium quickplay support experience is queuing Mercy, watching your tank leap into the open arms of the entire enemy team, get stomped in two seconds, then complain that you didn't heal them.

@@mittensbro Yeah no, that’s exactly what happened with a doomfist I was playing with last night. Mf would be at like 50 health, I’d start healing, get him to maybe 100-150, then he’d just jump completely out of my LOS to 1v5 the enemy team even though it was completely unnecessary, die, repeat. There was no hero I could really switch to so I could dive with him and keep him alive either, since my mains are Mercy, Moira, and Ana and he would ALWAYS find a way to either break LOS if I was healing from a distance, dodge the orb I would specifically send to heal him, or just straight up abandon me if I dove in to save him. That last one also happened a few times. Where he’d be close to dying, I’d dive in, get him to at least half and keep heals on him so he would pretty much be guaranteed to survive, but he’d still jump super far away and suddenly id be dead in the water

Dudes, I'm with you all here. Relatable as hell

@@primroseprom you’re going to love lifeweaver now that you can grab that tank away now 😂

They really want you to make them immortal

Yeah I wish more high elo players did this its easy for them to forget how the rest of us play the elos where people aren't aim gods counters don't work becuase the team isn't competent enough to work around them and teams are just deathmatches.

@@mrflamram9966 OW Community when high rated players don't play in low ranks: "You guys are so disconnected from the community you don't know our pains" OW Community when high rated players do Unranked to GM educational content: "Smurfing GMs are bad for the game and you should be ashamed of yourself"

@@moatef1886 is unranked to gm even educational? I always assumed it was just streamers going 50-1 and talking about how bad everyone plays.

@@moatef1886 Most of the Unranked to GM players will go full aggro offense and kill everyone in whichever role to brute force their way up the ladder.

Uhhh, no

Who were you what team were you on?

@@edb36mar oh not any where in the video it was like 8-10 days ago i was just solo queuing trying to get out of plat and there was a Flats on the other team and i was just immediately like oh its a fake account for sure. But like maybe it wasnt a fake 😳

You will :(

Didn't they say they were doing away with the rank decay? Or did I misunderstand what they were saying

@@draiz9456 wtf why lol 😆

Diamond isn't all that better either in my opinion. At least not till dia 2

It's just luck for a bit. I have been Gold 1 in support several times and deranked to bronze after inactivity. On the climb back up there were stretches where I go 5-6, 5-8 several times in a row because of crappy matchmaking (multiple "diamond challenger" flairs on the other team while I'm in silver) or just teams that won't take the point unguarded or take out an easy mercy who revives the tank 4 times a match. Or just some noob like one support or one DPS who ends up with only 800 damage or healing in the match. Sometimes I'd go like 5-6 and still rank up a number. Slowly but surely teams got better and the competition got real. This latest season silver was a real slog, stroke of luck while Season 1 was easy for me, again likely just because of a lucky batch of games with competent teammates or games where the OTHER team got a shitty noob or someone left. To support the idea that it's luck - Blizzard has stated you can be matched within two divisions of your MMR (!!!!). And they acknowledged a bug recently that said the matchmaking was showing even greater matched disparity - Three divisions? That means a Diamond can end up matching with a silver!!! And MMR is not necessarily your displayed rank. So you can be a gold-caliber player and end up matched with a team of bronze noobs playing a hero for the first time for fun. When they're that bad there's nothing you can do to carry them as support.

I'd say try playing a support that can carry a bit easier like Moira or Ana. Bap is great but he can't carry teams easily unless you're hitting those headshots very reliably and getting 2+ picks quickly each fight. At least that's my experience. I've climbed out of the trenches with Moira just making stupid backing plays because in low ELO teams don't react effectively enough, or they chase too hard when you retreat

same

As a plat supp, his timing on abilities and healing seemed a little sloppy tbh. (No hate, just my gut reaction) But, his good positioning and strong dps'ing seems to make up for it.

Ngl his lucio is mid

@@rorywhelan_ yes, it was sarcasm

Honestly just play more and if you have half a brain, you'll climb.

A lot of people are getting way higher ranks this season (without their mmr changing much) this season. There were gold people in GM and shit.

Overwatch 2 MM at its finest

@@drbumripper we did win so it wasn’t too bad. Idk how though

i had a top 500 tank player as the other support, we had a leaver cancel the match lmao

@@iSuckAtGamesGG If this was yesterday east coast. Oops sorry cause I was a T500 tank that had that happen to me yesterday. Only 20 people playing OW on east coast lol

@@Pheminon1 no it was a couple weeks ago. top 500 console roadhog player named "bumrich"

This^^^^ lol.

Huh???

You forgot healer hiders and people who think they should be invincible just because they’re getting some healing, full send it and die

It's always that extra second. Every suzu. Every ultimate. Every desperate healing attempt. They all fail, and just one extra second is all you needed.

Just came to say silver has taken the longest for me to get out of as support multiple times. I go long periods of time without playing so the deranking is inevitable. Meanwhile in gold you have competent teammates and I can jump from Gold 5 to Gold 1/2 quickly.

Well its even worse on EU because of the language barriers. 90% of the games NO ONE ever uses comms.
