These are the players who actually deserve a vod review like this, open for advice, not cocky, unlike the Lifeweaver who reckons he should be at least plat 4 as a bronze 5 player who somehow falls off the map twice in the exact same place
yeah, this player's heart is in the right place. they don't blame their team and instead have been reflecting on their own gameplay. they don't claim they deserve X rank but just say they don't necessarily think bronze is where they should be
@@Preetzole i genuinely don't understand the desire to believe better of people, that they're not Actually ™️ as egotistical as they seem. there are people who honestly believe they "deserve" a higher rank and yet make ridiculous mistakes. there is no meme. there is only ego. now, i do believe people do things for attention, but no normal, healthy person goes "I'm going to pretend to be an absolute asshole just for a strimmer to give me the time of day!"
@@sethescope i mean, they might be coming for example from Jay3 streams/vids (there was pretty much a migration from Jay to Emongg lately from what I see on twitch) where this kind of behaviour is actually encouraged for the meme. So I get where @Bruhmaster99 is coming from
Hi pal, thanks for the entertaining game!! Just a heads up, when Orisa is fortified/gold, don’t try to sleep her. She is not susceptible to any CC while she uses that ability, including during her ult. Good luck climbing, Emongg gave you some great tips here!!
Hiya! A tip from another Ana player who climbed out of Bronze: Wait 1-2 seconds when the enemy starts shooting at you before you commit to sleep dart. You'll be surprised how much more effective it is. A lot of the time they'll assume you don't have it and just run straight at you and you don't even have to aim it
@@wildeskompositum9556ts will roast you but still give great advice this I'd more of a coaching thing yk to me flats is like your football coach going over film iykyk
@@wildeskompositum9556 I wasn’t talking about Flats but since you mention it, I think roasts are supposed to be entertaining and for what it’s worth I don’t find anything flats has done entertaining to be honest. Taste is subjective though so if you’re a fan of his, you do you.
So I think I counted right. Ana was 13/40 on sleep darts that actually slept a target in almost a 20 minute game basically 2 sleep darts fired a minute average. I imagine without the countdown timer and deaths, this Ana is averaging almost 3 per minute when alive/not in spawn this game. Which is truly impressive. But I like that they are willing to learn and want advice. I hope they climb.
one of the things that helped me so much when attacking, was someone (i think ml7?) saying that once you get to last point on ana (or a few characters), you've done your job so just sit back and heal/damage from a nice distance. something about that mentality made me check myself from going in close to the last point (unless you have to touch/stall obv). so yeah, anytime i'm ana/zen, and maybe even kiriko and bap, i just pick a nice distance, sit back, and work from there.
i havent watched the full video yet so it's possible emongg talks about this. the player's aim when scoped in is a bit wonky at times, so i think they should go into Ana settings and play around with the scoped in sensitivity. it might be helpful because the default settings don't always work for everyone (and sometimes, the default settings aren't good if you are trying to improve!) re: cooldowns and positioning, yes it is fun to press your buttons. i love pressing buttons. it is hard to unlearn that habit. but i think it can be really helpful to have a PLAN when you're playing a certain hero. it doesn't have to be super specific, it can just be stuff like "i am only going to use nade to heal people who are critical" and "i need to find high ground and cover, no matter what" and find good spots on the maps that fit that criteria. it makes the game SO MUCH EASIER when you don't feel so overwhelmed and you can focus on putting your plan into action. once you start climbing (particularly when you get to gold), your plans will need to be more flexible as you learn to juggle multiple priorities, but right now, having a single set of positioning goals or a positioning plan can be really good! ana player, i hate to inform you that a lot of the time, you will be pushing the payload. this kinda contradicts my previous advice, but here's why: you can still do your job at range. when you play with a mercy, mercy is shorter range than you and needs to push up with the team to contribute value. in these cases, use the cart as cover! it will also heal you a bit if its uncontested, so that's nice too an important fact for all support players: when you don't have cover and are taking unnecessary damage, you are feeding enemy ults. feeding for us supports isn't like tanks or dps when they send it into the backline and die while spamming i need healing lol even though we typically are the last to die, we can absolutely still feed, so positioning is very important so we can make sure our team has ults first and gets ults faster than the enemy another reason positioning is so important: you cannot trust your teammates to save you. your positioning can and will save you from a significant number of threats. this is important because then you can focus on winning the fight instead of an Orisa walking directly up to you. in fact, i would say, DO NOT TRUST YOUR TEAM TO SAVE YOU lol. there will be times your team helps you! but you can't expect or rely on it. just focus on keeping yourself alive through positioning and saving your cooldowns for self defense (in some scenarios) something you do very well is keeping an eye on your other support 💖 that's an insanely good habit to have and staying further back will let you do that more successfully! feel free to go into the practice range to get a sense of how the nade works and its trajectory! i go into the practice range all the time to practice stuff. it can really really help so you can feel more confident in game.
@@Norfyo honestly the most important piece of advice I would give to someone who wants to climb is, look after yourself before you look after others. which is also just good life advice 😅 as much as we hope our teams are keeping an eye on us, most of the time they're not. partly because they have their own jobs to do but also because they're just as pepega as we are lol so! play to live, don't expect any help from your team. not expecting it makes the times when they DO help super surprising and nice lmao you've got potential, it's just a matter of investing the time now. but most importantly, there's no obligation. it's a fucking video game, so what matters is enjoying what you're doing. you don't have to play comp on days you don't want to. you don't have to devote your life to this. just have fun! and support is the most fun role imo so you've made a good choice hehe
Team mates healthy? Shoot the other team... as long as you don't hard focus your target and put yourself in a real bad position. Team hurt? Back away to see them easier and top 'em off, then back to 1. You got this!
Improving can mean ranking up and usually does. But the thing is pretty much everyone who plays will improve atleast slightly. So if u improve at same pace as other bronze 5-4 players u will stay same rank. In order to climb you need to improve faster than other, and emongg gave very good tips on things to improve. Aim is kinda bad, but tbh if the ana fixes position and cooldowns he could be ~gold probably quite fast.
@@Norfyo aim will come with time, but dont worry most golds dont have good aim either, and if their aim is good, their position etc is horrible. Good aim+good position+decent cd useage lands like dia-master. There is 0 good aimer with half a brain below masters. Some times i find godlike aimers in plat-dia but they have severe brain dmg or something.
@Norfyo my advice with that is to quite literally take it slower. This may sound stupid but it actually works. Aim to hit your shot, check it lines up and click. Do that over and over in quickplay (it's very slow at first to do hence i recommend quickplay) and your Aim will improve. Why? Because you are certain your mouse movement and eye coordination is correct. Also because you hit more shots you have bullets leftover you can shoot into a enemy or reload less often. It also builds confidence. Due to your ability to eventually not having to even remotely line up a shot you have brainpower left over and the time to think about good positioning.
The Bastion 1v1 is why you actually want to just get up in enemies' faces in Bronze when 1v1ing. Nobody can track high transversal down here so minimizing the distance means that you cross their screen as fast as possible. It's stupid, but it works a fair bit against non-melee/aoe characters. Edit: The key to climbing fast is to know when you can and can't do this and to play accordingly. Feel free to abuse it in Bronze (if you do this, chances are the enemy team will help you by mirroring the behavior or running away in a predictable manner) if the enemy team is susceptible to it, but as the ranks go up, stop relying on it as enemies start punishing that sort of nonsense.
@@Siks7Ate9 It doesn't always work; certain heroes will mulch you if you try that, and there's still the 'getting close' part you have to deal with, but it explains why you see some low-rank 1v1s being two heroes jumping and running in circles at point blank missing everything that isn't an AoE or melee, and why you see some low rank players succeed at LITERALLY PUNCHING THINGS TO DEATH. It's also, funny enough, why Moira's such a big problem for some Bronzes, as Moira's got crazy self-sustain so she can do it functionally indefinitely against most heroes.
@@braxbro6674 don't worry moira is also like that in plat and even diamond sometimes. I honestly don't know why she still has such high self sustain. Its not needed. They buffed it in ow1 when shield hp values got lowered because she needed it in order to survive potential spam damage. However that was in 6v6. Its now 5v5 and she has a support passive.
That ana was literally lifted by her tank, play a more relaxed ana is my best advice. No need to get that close, now higher level players like ML7 would play in an aggressive position that's just out of the enemies effective range so they would waste cooldowns trying to reach him. Baiting the enemy like that is more effective especially since less travel times means easier sleep/nades but you're not baiting the enemy playing in the open. You're merely not confident in your skills at hitting the sleep/nade so feel the need to get closer. I'd say play ana like you would ashe not as close as cassidy and not as far as pre-nerf widow
On certain maps, you can play Ana as you would pre-nerf Widow, and if the enemy team tries to play Widow or Ashe into you, you can just shut them down entirely. But that's very specific maps like Havana and Junkertown.
Great mindset from the intro, lol. Hopefully with that, plus some good ole emongg tips (and honestly maybe a few settings changes) hopefully they climb.
tbh i have a tendency to get very aggressive on ana sometimes too 😭 it just works sometimes. other times not so much LMFAO. i play kiriko wayy more and kiriko benefits more from the aggression i think.
what I feel like most people may not understand is that aggression will look differently on each hero. an aggressive Mercy play is different than an aggressive Kiriko play, which is also different from an aggressive Ana play. every hero can and should be aggressive! we just need to appreciate the different styles of aggression so we can channel our aggression no matter which hero we play lol
It feels like they don't have enough space to move their mouse. Or they are playing from a bad position, I improved my aim drastically when I fixed my posture and increased the height of my chair, it helps immensely. Also get at least a medium-sized mousepad.
Half the time they use the sleep dart, they aren't even hovering over an enemy The heelingrenade is to increase team healing and stop enemy healing, but they use it like it's a frag most of the time for a bit of burst damage or healing(which is fine sometimes) They have decent stretches where they are in a good position and then FOR NO REASON move in closer with a sniper character. Most of the time it isn't optimal sniper positioning like approaching the tank head on For most ana's like this I recommend playing bap, more survivability, easier to heal, easier abilities and easier to get elims if your accuracy isn't amazing
Definitely is a bronze support, but they have potential. Just based on the fact that they are really active during the whole match. A lot of bronze bastards just sit in one spot and heal until they get gunned down.
This was definitely a match of Overwatch. They need to turn their sensitivity down, and work on their aim, positioning, and cooldown usage. There was no inconsistency in the way this person played like so many of us, this player was consistently bad with their aim and ability usage.
I think that it is a common problem when it comes to climbing rank. People tend not to outgrow their bad habits because, to them, it seems to be working. Running into the enemy as Ana and almost never getting punished is crazy to me lolz. But in actuality, the dude would get punished right back down to bronze playing like that. Flankers are already after you, but God forbid the enemy sees you right in their face. The tank dps and MERCY are going for you. But I see bad choices aren't punished in bronze. Because a lot of other people are also making bad choices.
I like that shes not afraid to use her cooldowns and she just throws them out whenever she has them which can definitely be better than holding them forever. Slightly better positioning and aim and she'll be ranking up in no time
half bronze games feel like open queue gold, gold + players are stuck in bronze and accidentally gatye keeping eachother its hilarious all it takes is falling down ONCE one bad placements
I’m pretty sure this Ana has moved from console to pc. Or they just started playing fps. But I like how they say they THINK they have gotten better. Not that they DESERVE a higher rank
Every tank should play each support once, so they know the limits of that support and you can play around them. I'm terrible at this game but even I know not to flame the support when I'm 5 feet from their spawn and the team is capping point one. Thats on me😂
The thing I don’t understand about people is when they say “I BELONG IN THIS RANK.” If you truly belong in that rank then you would’ve been able to carry yourself to that rank. And Im saying this because I was a gold player the first time I have ever played overwatch, now I am high diamond by solo queuing. My boyfriend always claims that he should be in plat (he’s in gold) and when I play with him I could see mistakes he is making that can easily be improved to make him get into plat, but he just doesn’t believe me so it is what it is lol.
New to the game/this channel. Does he review games from console players? I know my aim needs work, but I’d like an opinion on my “positioning” and cool down usage. Great video. I’m not even an Ana main but I learned a lot.
You can prove you’re unfairly trapped in Bronze Hell by setting up another account. I guarantee you’ll place at least Gold across the board. But the Blizzard will never let you get your old account out of Bronze.
I don't play much ana, not my favorite play style of support. But I had this one game where I had 100% sleep dart accuracy and slept 15 people. And only about half of those sleeps were barrel stuffs, so I felt really good about taking that win. Buy God do I feel those miss miss miss miss miss miss when ads as ana. Like.. I'm either hitting everything, or I'll miss the entire next clip of ammo, feels like no in-between.
surely if u are bronze or new u would play a less aim intensive support until ur more comfortable like what? bro would probably do more healing on zen like...
I'm bronze 1. This guy is about as good as me on a bad day and definitely deserves a rank up. But I think they just need to watch the karq video where the rank 1 ana coached him then all good.
The using abilities just because they are off CD hurts my sole. I aleays view abilities as added value. What value is truthly being added o If you are not hitting anything 80% of the time.
The positions you are telling them to have are the positions I want to have but when I tell my brother and boyfriend I can't see you and I ping my location they are telling me why I stay in one spot for so long and why I don't move with the team, and how I should be hip firing more often instead of scope firing. So I started doing that. I died way more often. It's just annoying they think they're right when they are not. I am a sniper. I am supposed to be here. I ping my location so you know where I am at. If you get out of my LOS, that is on you.
Definitely deserves bronze but I can see her tweaking the positioning slightly and getting to silver. Don't get me wrong , game mechanics needs improving, so does battle sense in general
I don't understand their nade usage at all. For me that thing is an oh shit button for myself if I get backlined or for a team mate in need. I only play MH but watching this makes me want to do placements and see where I land. I feel like this player is deserved bronze.
If you are only using nade to heal, you're doing it wrong. Nade should be used offensively as much as possible. If you have to nade yourself often, you're taking too much damage and likely out of position. The support passive means Ana rarely needs to use it for herself, and USUALLY you don't need to use it to heal others, either. Antiheal is just so incredibly strong. Just watch out for anything that can cancel it.
