My thoughts on 1 tricking and counter picks

see people say counter picking is strong but i have to disagree with you chief.

if you check most top 500s are legit 1 tricks or at least gms.

counter picks don’t really do anything if your vering a 1 trick since they prob know how to not be countered and its really not that hard.

and even then if you got a full team of cc all the ball has to do is 1v6 eat all the cc and then have their team follow up and kill them all.

i feel like counter picking is just useless since it just makes the 1 tricker have to play smarter and removes some plays but even then it does nothing.

having a sombra to counter ball legit just hurts your teams dps output and i won so many games this way.

legit when i go ball i verse cc and what i do? call out my team that i am gonna eat all of it and then we kill them all even if i die we still win the fight.

so ya idc what people say countering does nothing against good 1 tricks and just playing what you want just makes more sense.

its why sombra is a low pick hero since she has no value at all, all she does is stop you from using your abiltys which you can legit just stop by shooting her or useing all your stuff before you get hacked.

i respect and love 1 tricks since they are just better than having your whole team keep switching to counters and burning and deleting ult charge.

thoughts?

i climbed from 1 tricking, when i counter picked it does nothing but hurt my team.

same time if you got a monkey diving your back line it could be bad but all you have to do is just 1v6 the monkey so counter picking really does nothing.

Here’s my story:

1.5 years ago I swapped from Xbox to PC and I joined during double shield. Little did I know that D.Va was F tier, so I played comp for the first time I a long time. I got placed plat as a player, which is probably the most toxic rank.

When I played tank and I was told to swap to Sigma I knew I was bad at sigma. I got 10x more value out of D.Va than Sigma at the time. So, I stayed D.Va because she’s my best character. People would tell me to “Kms” because of this.

2 seasons it took me to climb out of plat to diamond with D.Va, I was stuck in diamond for a long time, but I slowly increased in SR going from 3060 to 3100 the next season, etc.

2 seasons ago, I got placed 3064 and I was bummed out, but I kept playing and I got to 3467 during that season exclusively playing D.Va. I had a 65% win rate with over 50 games.

And now, I’m a Masters D.Va player.

Moral of the story: Don’t let other people tell you your a bad player, keep playing what you do the best, and report the toxic people!

I reached mid master as DF one trick. So it can definitely work well especially if the hero is busted.

If you say so buddy. It’s not like he was abused in OWL, had people OTP him to top 10 ladder,and needed several nerfs…

I see you in every post that slightly mentions doomfist. Please stop speaking on behalf of the character that you can’t even play correctly.

yup just got told today to kms as well while playing ball.

legit had my team keep repeeking a widow and blaming me for them dying like just stay out of her los thats all they had to do.

and had another game where my dps could not get picks so they started blaming us tanks (we were playing ball zarya) to go shield when tanks were not the problem at all and i even told they shields are bad now.

idk dps just love to blame tanks for everything even tho i atleast know i am trying my best and doing all i can even if i do bad i am still trying.

this game is really toxic tbh

Honestly if I wanted to try and climb back to Diamond I’d have the best chance doing it by one-tricking Sombra, I’ve got 100s of hours on her and honestly don’t feel like there is a situation where I couldn’t play her, at least in Plat/Diamond

Problem is I get bored playing the same character, I’d also have to stop playing with my friends to climb back to Diamond and eh it’s more fun playing with friends even if you lose more often

Yeah but most of them are one tricking the top meta heroes ;-;

Hulk ur bad at doom hush.

I didn’t even speak on your point cause there’s no point in arguing anything related to doom with you, so idk how I managed to help ur point :expressionless:

As a doom player I can get behind that statement.

You’ve literally shown no evidence of you playing in rq.

Every single time you show us VOD’s it’s open queue…

Hulk I’m going to deconstruct your entire argument with one statement.

You call doomfist easy, but it took you over a hundred hours of practicing with him to reach masters with him. That’s the literal OPPOSITE of doom being easy.

You literally play doomfist, JUST so you can go around saying “look at me I’m good at doom, don’t buff him he’s fine” : /

You are just making things up… I have literally posted the screenshots before… Many times in fact… I got mid master in RQ…

The only time you’ve posted something has been video’s of you playing in open queue.

Especially the video of open queue hanamura trying to say that doom was fine in the clip.

Ok cool.

But you didn’t care to touch on my other points cause you know i’m right lmfao.

You take hero hating to a whole different level. Putting in over a hundred hours into a hero just so your points can have an ounce of relevancy.

Again your other points just help to prove my point… No point arguing…
