What goes through their heads

This happened twice yesterday,

  1. Nanoed primal Winston jumping into backline I sleep him there’s no spray to wake him , our zarya walking from spawn clearly seeing a slept primal nano Winston, and a fight in front .

Guess what she does goes and beams him instead of joining the fight in front which would have been winnable, woke monkey got 3k fight lost.

  1. Havana last point even fight going on their ashe throws in a nano Bob I time it so right that the Bob crosses the kart away from fight but before hitting wall and start shooting, slept him to a nice nap, Lucio coming from spawn sees fight in front, but chooses to wake up a lava colored lighting robot that murders the team and gets point.

I want to know what is their thought process and why why do they chose to do this.

It’s not in the middle of fight it’s not a random dva spray or moira grasp by mistake.

These are people calmly walking from spawn and they have to aim to do this.

Why?

I mean…I don’t know how to explain stupid

No ladder reset in 5+ years. Who even knows what rank is what anymore.

Why?

Because some people just want to see the world burn!
Just like some roadhog decided its a good idea to hook a dva bomb inside the orisa barrier.

I’ve had the enemy Rein charge my bomb into his team on more than one occasion. Like- this bomb was really bad and would have killed nobody, but it turned into a quadruple kill

Sounds better than a Mccree throwing a flash on a sleeping nanoboosted genji blade.

Rein is a gentleman after all. He’s helping the lady.

A number of things dependent completely on the person in question. For some people, it’s blatant stupidity driven by the fact a lot of people are basically spot/locate enemy? Attack!

Some people it’s a matter of them thinking something is a lot worse than what it really is and so they attempt to correct it.

Ex: A Hog sees a D.Va bomb coming at his team, he attempts to hook it to somewhere he thinks is safe…only to give the enemy a quad kill.

The intentions are good, the execution is poor.

The last is just…pure trolling. They don’t care and they want to see their team squirm and scream at one another because it amuses them.

Oh please. Most monkeys are cowards, they already focus the weak fragile old woman instead of her teammates. Get out of here with your pretend outrage.

Most lickely because our tickle ‘damage’ only affects them, ever thought about that? I mean Winston has literally one of the lowest dps in the game. We have to play clever to get value and pick the fights we can win. Nothing to do with bravery.

No that is the most dishonest excuse I’ve heard in my life. You know you only jump old ladies cuz they can’t hurt you the same way a Russian bodybuilder can. It’s ok, you may not died but you will sleep and get T bagged for good measure for it.

This is one of the reasons I dropped Ana. It drove me NUTS. Insta-tilted.

You’d assume diamond players have already developed basic gamesense, but after a couple of seasons of pain and misery I just gave up on playing support for good.

Why would you wake a sleeping B.O.B? Like… Why would you do that…? What’s crossing your mind at that precise moment? I NEED to UNDERSTAND you.

Why would you wake a nano’d Genji I somehow managed to sleep (I suck at sleeping Genjis) when he dashed into us?

Why can’t anybody seem to understand I can’t heal them because I’m dealing with half the enemy team on my own because you don’t have time to peel for 5 miserable seconds?

Why does my Rein stand there with his shield up FOR AGES if he is full health, the enemy Rein is low, antinade’d and I’m spamming heals right up his t h i c k metal but?

Much love for all my support mains out there. I don’t know where do you find all the patience necessary to play that role. Mad respect.

Jesus, I even got kinda tilted writing this. Gave me ptsd. People, help your supports please. They are already having a miserable experience trying to keep you alive in the middle of a cluster#%*$. Don’t make it any worse. :brain:

There isn’t that much thinking going on, but for understandable reasons (at least for me). It all runs down to having to make their decisions in a split-second, and likely relying on reactions and reflexes more than conscious decision-making.

Those people don’t have all the info that you have. In particular, they don’t necessarily know how long the target has been sleeping. Thus, to them, they might still sleep for a couple of seconds more, or they might be waking up right now. Even if they did have that piece of info, they might estimate the timing wrong, or slightly panic and forget the timing.

They may still be reacting to the same cues that caused you to sleep the target - an enraged scientist jumping in, or a burly omnic rushing past. Or they might recognize a disabled enemy as a free target, and only realize afterwards which target it was (and that they were slept, not just stunned or knocked down) - too late to not shoot it, early enough to immediately regret it.

These may happen even if in your POV they’re coming leisurely from spawn. They may be rushing in, coming into a firefight, paying attention to many other things than that exact situation. Thus, their learned default reactions (dangerous target -> shoot it) take over, even if they’re not the “correct” ones this time.

All this is annoying and hard to override, but can be learned out of. It’s a long way there, though, and it’s not something you can realistically help with - it’s their business to get better at their game.

It’s frustrating, I know - I’ve been on all sides (sleeper, sleepee, awakener) of that situation before. So is there anything you (as Ana) could do to help this? Well, yeah, though not everyone likes the solution and it doesn’t solve every situation. While you can’t control what people will do with a certain piece of info, you can help them get more relevant intel. So if you’re in voice, call out your key actions. Calls like “Sleeping BOB”, “Hog 'naded”, “Genji, nano in two, one, go” can go a surprisingly long way.
