I want to challenge myself in comp

Hey i am looking for a challenge or to do something interesting to entertain myself.

I will be using alt acc, placed between bronze-gold. Not sure where yet.

There is plenty of different runs on stream/youtube bronze to gm, unranked to gm, but i feel like some heroes are missing. I want to do something similar.

I have two primary goals, have fun and learn heroes i am bad at and when i make it to plat to switch to my mains and push the ranks. Or maybe add new heroes i learned to my best heroes pool :grin:

I can stream whole thing if anyone will be interested to see that btw.

I am still not decided about heroes i will use. I was really thinking about Reinhardt. Someone told me in past that it would be nice to see run with rein. I want to learn him more, i usualy hate when i am forced to play him with my friends because i suck at him. Last time when i played him more than 10 min per week was two+ years ago. And it was few hours anyway.

I was thinking about briggita for support, she is interesting hero and not played that much.

I am not sure about dps. I want to play something to have fun but dont feel like i am smurfing like for example mcree. I am thinking about Torbjorn and junkrat. I used to play torb before his rework and i played him very rarely after. My other choice is junkrat, he is funny hero and i never played him with exception of two hours in comp as challenge once. I suck at him.

Anyone has idea to do something different? Maybe different hero choice? I will be playing probably only strictly solo q and use time between dps games to review games i lost from replay.

Any ideas are welcome.

Rein sounds good to me. I’d actually watch that. I don’t know if you’re good at it but Zen as support is pretty fun to climb. As for dps, I suck at junk too so maybe that’s a good option lol

I could use zen, but i honestly play him a lot lately so i would prefer diff support as challenge and to learn hero better. Yeah it will be fun with junk/torb.

I like the fun ideas.

I myself have put an account in Bronze for the first time ever, and i’m trying to play Doomfist, and Junkrat. Two heroes i’ve put almost no time in to, ever. Kind of hilarious, and lots of fun.

Hope you enjoy it. What’s your twitch link, maybe i’ll get a chance to check it out.

Yeah if you’re good at him then no point. It’ll just be a smurf stomping in lower elo since Zen is a beast.

I dont use twitch, i just stream or record games for fun to youtube. I can provide link later, i will start in like week or two.

But i dont use cam and i dont talk to audience, so it woukd be probably boring to watch :grin:

I’ll watch the rein part for sure!

Sure, go for it. I could only suggest that if you pick one hero that you make a short videos of cool moves into one single video.

That should also be motivational to be great in game play, just saying.

Genji…

Good luck playing him right now…

If i record i will record whole thing and include bad games, i dont want anyone to say i cheated in some way and joined someone when i could not climb.

I honestly suck at making videos. I can click on start recording and than stop and thats basicly it :grin:

I tried him before already but he is one of my worst heroes. Problem is that i never liked to play him. And i want to have fun. I will have enough frustration with Rein :grin:

I honestly would like to keep playing rein higher too.

Okay, that’s fair. Clicking on “start recording” is already good enough. You can always explore later how to cut and edit videos, if you care that much and if that is of your interest.

Is there any free soft to do that? Something super easy for dumb people? :grin:

I don’t know super easy ones. I know free ones, yep! I am using Blender but I don’t think that is easy at all. I mean it’s not really user friendly because its 3D program but it serves the purpose.

Which reminds me, I could check out if there is something open source which does not degrade quality due to pricing or similar stuff. I’ll do that after work and update this.

Why not trying to climb in regular comp? See how high you can actually get with heroes you’re comfortable on

I started playing my first games yesterday so i will make first update tonight. I am EU, i have morning now btw.

All 3 roles on new account are bronze, closer to silver i believe, only support was lower like 1200 when i started playing yesterday.

I will be playing mostly briggita as support. In case of enemy will be playing a lot of range dps or shields, i will probably take zen as back up. But i dont want to play him that low as he is my main, so i will try to not pick him until i will be gold.

For dps I plan to play mostly hanzo as i want to learn him more, i am bad at him. Sometimes i will probably pick torb just for fun, i am still not decided if i want to keep playing him higher or maybe i will try to climb with torb to gold and start picking hanzo there. I will add mei somewhere in gold or plat too so i can have two dps heroes to play higher.

Tank role will be most interesting. I am hog main so i want to avoid hog until i reach plat probably. My plan is to possibly one trick rein up to plat and then i will decide if i am trying to push harder with both, hog and my new learned Reinhard. I would really like to start playing rein highest as possible to make my new career high and i feel he is finaly in a good balance. I know it will be very frustrating run from bronze to plat with rein but i am mentaly prepared for it wink

I will post first 5 support games today. I lost first mid bronze game hozrribly lol. And i will be doing updates here on forums i would like to pick one game i played every time and review it myself to learn why i lost.

Btw my recorded games or stream will be probably boring, i dont talk to audience and i dont have cam :wink:

Haha sounds really fun. I wish I could play with you but I’m in Asia. The ping would be a nice handicap actually lol

Rip, can you play in US?

Yeah I can! I could join in high silver maybe.

We will see, sometimes when i join with certain people, my ping will go up to 300 which is bad, i have usualy 150 in US. We would have to work on time zone to find time together tho.

Do you use discord? And dont expect good player haha, sometimes i suck big time :wink:

Btw my first game in mid bronze yesterday lol, we c9 first hanamura point, nobody went to defend it. And i was killed instantly by hog at start like biggest moron.
