Is your tank behind you or anywhere in a none aggroing position on the enemy? Likeee start of attack dorado? First ya know try and give them platform and all that since it comes back down now thats huge, next step just ping who you wanna kill/say it in coms and pull them up there.
Your primary targets are, Soldier, Cassidy, Illari, baptiste, Bastion (out of config) and various other high ground heros.
Is your tank attacking that other tank (with max hp) on low ground important? Answer is usually no tbh…
The only reason a higher ranked tank player like starting at plat maybe gold isn’t on high ground is because they don’t know/have no way to get up there.
You pulling them into a guarenteed kill isn’t interrupting there “Conscious” positioning they could perform the same behavior there doing now on autopilot if thwy wanted, when you pull them into someone, everytime it’s like a light bulb goes off in there head and it’s fun to watch to.
The aggresive moment they have in them changes from a never ending nothing sandwich to ya know someone who will ACTUALLY die.
Also if they are killing someone on low 2 options pull late or jump down and go deal with it youraelf, I get that reaction a lot “He was 1 h… oh you killed im” the joys of being an aggroweaver.
Pulling someone into a mid fight with you, did this earlier cause my tank was Zarya who can be rather slow closed the distance with the snap of my fingers.
And she was full charge we talking a murder spree.
Pulling your dps, 1 they make excellent cart movers, 2 usual stuff soldier and cass on high ground or petal pop ult ya know the drill.
Pullijg your other support, AoE survivor aggro Lucio, Brig, Moira, illari, Baptiste in that order cause Bap got hops he can heal you if he wishes, the illaris usually instinctively throw there pylons, you can also pull ana into the enemy team with a quick flank if you need to nade, as for how yall get out of that situation alive… research is still being conducted.
Usual backline pulls, wait out important cool downs, sleep, anti, wraith, fade, things that specifically stop the ult are your highest priority then just pull ram or mauga or rein ventute or whoever (well it depends some just straight up dont benefit from this obviously) and bam free value.
Once you learn how to use the aggro lifegrip it opens a whole new world, in qp I’m less cautious about doing this strickly because the cool downs sooooo damn long and “Wasting” something like that in comp can be a… problem but hell it usually works the first time everytime because I’m so specific about it even just on a whim an aggro Lifegrip literally just ends fights.
Not sure if it’s something I recommend everyone doing, but it will be the difference between you thinking about Lifeweaver how everyone else thinks of him and what Lifeweaver ACTUALLY is at full power.
Honestly, I’m always wishing I did more aggro grips. I do some on occasion, but it could be so much more. The knowledge is always appreciated, thanks
I dont know how to say this without sounding overly harsh it is truly not my intentions… but when people tell me it’s hard to switch between healing and damage without there teammates dying this is the gameplay I imagine like they pick the worst possible times or none at all…
For the love of god man charge your heals and store them… but I don’t wanna be to much of a mean person for this one this looks to be silver…
If that’s the comms vid, then I’m sorry. I really wish that I could. The thing that’s preventing me is actually the same thing that prevents me from joining voice in-game. The trigger could happen at any time without any warning, regardless of the mood of the lobby. All it takes is a fraction of a second. It could even happen repeatedly, because it just happens to be something that a lot of people don’t even think about
I have a feeling you’re trying to convince me that voice isn’t something to be afraid of. I really appreciate the gesture, and thank you for it, but it really is out of the question for me. At least for the forseeable future
OK, I gave it a watch with no sound. You done well sir
I see what you meant about the Zarya grip. It wasn’t flashy, but it was really effective. I think that’s something that I’ve overlooked in my own grips. I keep imagining the most effective “aggro grips” as being these crazy long unexpected ones that you’d need to go flanking or something to set up. I should more actively look out for opportunities to do grips like the one in your video, giving someone just a little boost forward to close the gap and start melting things
Maybe this will come into play tomorrow (actually technically later today, I know), when I finally get back to comp As long as I don’t have a headache then
For future references yes Ill always be an advocate for voice coms thats just how I’ve always played the game, but you’ve already explained to me plenty of times (only needed once) why you choose not to, so anything I say involving being in VC, you my good madam are excluded.
That was just gonna be some lore of what the voice of the best weaver sounds like.
Petal ehh just keep using that as usual your grip usage tbh all I can say for right now before you get to like the advanced stuff… your grip reaction time is to slow
Granted your tank was feeding a bit but you gotta know how to save before you ya know can do all the extra stuff.
Welp, of course the same thing that prevents me from partaking in VC also prevents me from watching most YT videos (and joining most Discords, and watching streamers, and trying to make friends, and various other things). So no lore for me, sadly
But honestly, in a theoretical scenario where you know exactly what that thing is, can DEFINITELY ENSURE that you won’t do it, and somehow we’re grouped up in QP, I think I might be willing to join voice for that occasion. If it’s team VC, I would still have to mute everyone other than you to be safe, but still. Again, totally theoretical scenario, and I’m not actually asking to group up, but just wanted to say that. I would be honored to take part in the teamwork
As long as I don’t have a headache then
