I just can’t seem to get better at this game. My aim on hitscan hovers at 30% and I keep encountering games where I get steam rolled. Getting steamrolled just makes me want to shut off the game as it’s completely unenjoyable to experience. I consistantly just can’t get better at tracking enemies either so as D.Va I frequently can’t even kill flankers before they kill me.
Maybe this game is not just for me. I really want to get better and enjoy Overwatch but it seems I can’t. It makes me sad.
To be fair in OW2 it shouldnt be a D.Va’s job to be the tank for the whole team and to stop flankers.
I would reccommend adding rein to your hero pool
I don’t get why the constant steam rolls. I think I have 1 win for every 2-3 losses at this point. I get losing but why is the loss always so badly lost? I have never have any closely won matches or closely lost matches. It’s always a steam roll for either my side or the other.
If matches were close then I wouldn’t feel so demotivated when I lose.
It’s a team game. Stomps happen because multiple players not doing the job of their role.
Tank forgets to protect a support. Support doesn’t heal tank. DPS overcommits to get a kill.
We in Ow 2 and this morning I still had four teammates leave me alone to push the payload.
This is a team game that lacks team functions like guild/clan system to play the game the way it’s meant to be played.
That’s on the devs and management for prioritizing monetization over gameplay tools.
Fellow dva player, mess with your sens. I had this problem when I started maining her. I played on 20/20 sens (I know.) and even bumping it to 60/60 I still couldn’t seem to aim.
After lots of trial and error I now play 80/80 dual-zone with 90 aim smoothing and 15 ease-in, so I can track easily and make quick turns when needed. Highly recommend messing with sens. I also played around with the different aim styles, and used expo ramp for a bit, which I think is great for dva/tracer/anyone that needs to turn around quickly!
Be aware it will take a weekish of playing with a new sens before you’re used to it.
The nice thing about this game is that you don’t really have to be good at aiming to be good at the game. If you can’t play hitscan, don’t play hitscan? lol.
Then don’t play dva??
You are just not a competitor. When I get stomped, I want to increase my skill to prevent that and stomp back.
My experience with solo queue tank is that you need to counterpick the enemy tank every teamfight. If you stay on Dva its a throw. Especially vs a Zarya.
But even when diffing the enemy tank, if you’re unluck you got bad teammates and its unwinnable.
Play hero’s that don’t require aim?
People that feel the need to do this shouldn’t be allowed to queue competitive.
should be 40 to 50 if % but if you’re firing a lot. Your play style can effect that a little so maybe watch some guides.
D Va doesn’t require aim, but she does require game-sense.
The best way to round out your game-sense, in my opinion, is to play Mystery Heroes for awhile.
It acquaints you with each heroes strengths/weaknesses.
This helps especially as a D.Va main, because knowing each other hero intimately gives you an idea of how to engage those heroes on D.Va.
Widow, for instance, is almost helpless against D.Va in 1v1, so if you catch a Widow positioned where you can take her on alone, Jet right into her face and hit E. Even if she tries to grapple away, your jets will catch you right back up.
D.Va vs D.Va is a mind-game of who times their DM and missiles better. I typically try to avoid this, though. There are better picks to go after. HOWEVER, when the enemy D.Va is demeched, slay her ASAP. No mercy.
Don’t waste too much time on Moira. Her Fade is on short enough cooldown (As well as ability to self-heal) to avoid you most of the time.
Hanzo is somewhat like Widow except you should be wary of Storm Arrow.
Again, if you play Mystery Heroes for awhile, you’ll learn things like this more and more.
But I want to get better at her.
Thanks I’ll try that.
You know what’s funny about this? Diving DPS complain when a tank peels to help the support. I had a guy flat-out yell and scream at me yesterday when I went to help two healers that were getting killed by a reaper. OW NEEDS 2 TANKS
Well, that’s a “simple” fix if you want it.
Just load up Aim Labs, Kovaaks, or some specialized Workshop mode. Maybe grind some deathmatch.
Also investigate your PC settings, to make sure there’s not something messing with you, from a hardware/software perspective.
Heck, I’m even really particular about putting a loop in my mouse cable, and then putting a paperweight on the other side.
And just general mouse DPI / Sensitivity, and disabling any sort of Mouse Acceleration Smoothing.
Here’s a bunch of settings to change:
This seems like good advice maybe I’ll give mystery heroes another go.
tbh, 30% accuracy is quite sufficient to climb with. You just need to compliment it with game sense and awareness and you will climb.
You will be amazing if you can push it to 40% accuracy, but even with the best accuracy, if you have no game sense at all, you will not climb.
For example, what this video of Flat view a player using cheats who is still performing bad.
Speaking of game sense. Perhaps a dumb question but if you hear footsteps does that mean that they are always coming from behind you?
Nope.
Really, you should turn on Sound: Audio Mix = Night Mode
Makes a world of difference on directional audio.
Makes it so the sound isn’t so Bass’y, with so much echoy reverb.
