@@MonkeyBanjo7 Playing with a lucio as mercy is something I rarely do but it isn’t IMPOSSIBLE. Remember that you’re now the one that has to put out most of the healing. Generally I’d say take care of the tank a little bit more and let lucio heal your dps since they have less hp. Once everyone seems to be in an ok situation I’d say definitely go for the dmg boost! Also when fights are over I recommend letting lucio heal the whole team rather than the mercy. This’ll allow the lucio player to build beat faster since it’s more valuable for your team than valk. Heal more during the fight and mid fights all while dmg boosting if you feel like your team can afford that. But ultimately if mercy isn’t working with your lucio and you think you should switch I’d say go kiriko or ana. Kiriko probably a little more since she’s less aim intensive and adds huge value to the team! Hope this helps! :D

Something I found frustrating in the Beach Junkrats argument was the idea that he could just "play inside" against a Pharah. While I do agree that if he plays well enough he may never die to the Pharah, it will still be incredibly hard for him to kill the Pharah. The Pharah will then be free to kill any other heros that can't counter her. That means if the other DPS is a one-trick or just bad at hitting shots the game is basically lost or the supports have to shift drastically shift their focus. This is why playing the Tank role with one-tricks can be especially frustrating.

@symp_phony

"play inside" while your whole team dies to the pharah then you cry about everyone else dying when not everyone has the luxury to "play inside". at the end of the day if youre playing junk into pharah, unless you can reliably hit her by mining into her then two tap her, shes just playing a 5v4 into your team and you lose almost every teamfight

@@symp_phony You 2 do make a good point, but when you are inside you aim is for you to be able to get the focus out of yoyrself, if you see the pharah is literaly focusing and harrasing the rest of you team is better if you got and try and combo her down. Not always will it work, but then she at least will be searching for you and not your team. It isn't about forgetting about a pharah, is about bringing your fight there, where you have the advantage. If she doesn't come, you go and punish her or her teammates for forgetting about you. You don't have to camp inside, you have to keep searching from value, the thing you change when a pharah appears is instead of looking for value in an open off angle, or at the side of your supports you look for it navigating through covered spaces, looking to take people by surprise, shifting their focus to, "hey, this junk just killed our support from behind, do smth". The point is, is not just hiding, is chaging where you fight, but keep fighting, keep getting value and looking for plays.

I fear the man who practiced one kick 10,000 times." 1-tricks who have like half or most of their playtime on ONE hero is a specialist. They can be really good even against unfavorable matchup.

As another one trick Mercy, I do use other supports when I need to help the team or someone picks Mercy first. Gotta be a team player. Mercy is by far my most used hero(1,913 hours by the time of this comment). But do have good hours on Ana, Moira and Lúcio.

1:00 damn mercy player already letting us know why they pick that character. “What am I really doing? I’m healing and damage boosting if I’m not dying I’m doing my job.” The problem with mercy and many other characters is that we don’t always need a mercy. If the supp lineup is Bap mercy vs Lucio Ana your tank is going to have a rough time with anti. There’s nothing you can do against that on mercy so you know what you can do switch. Swapping characters is a fundamental part of overwatch and you are severely limiting yourself by not diversifying your hero pool. This doesn’t mean that you should practice every character as much as your main, but you should have 2-3 characters per role that you can play well.

Why should your team have to make up for the fact that you don’t wanna switch or refuse to learn other characters.

Honestly I enjoy being able to switch to different hero’s. I just play as who I want in the moment, yeah I may not be as good at hero’s that I don’t play often, but the games about having fun!

In a game where hard/soft counters exist.. You're selling yourself short by only playing 1 character. Also, this is a TEAM moba shooter.. You're hurting your teams/your chances of winning by being inflexible and failing to adapt.

BeachRat was annoying when he was pretending to be Junkrat

You should play a three characters that are complete opposites that enables you to do smth in every situation, for example I play Lucio, Zen and Bap so if my tank picks a poke tank like Sigma I will play Zen or Bap unless the Sigma is really aggressive but that is unlikely, if the opponents have good dive players mainly Sombra and Winston I will never play Zen and I will play Bap some of the time but most of the time I’ll play Lucio against dives. If my team is lacking in healing then I will pick Bap to carry heals. If my team is lacking in damage I will switch to Zen in order to do more damage. If I have a rein I will pick Lucio. I feel like maining Lucio, Zen and Bap allows me to be a flexible player with an answer to every situation. Although I have almost half of my playtime on Lucio being able to switch is vital to playing this game as it is essentially rock-paper-scissors turned into a first person shooter.

30:24 definitely a,"look at me im so quirky" vibe. wanting well earned fights in the face of the ability to switch is part of the pilosophy for most one tricks. overwatch's uncommon, but major mechanic that it allows anyone to switch to another character at anytime.

One-tricks are going to have major differences of experience just based simply on the character they are one-tricking. Like if I had a one-trick Hanzo or a one-trick Solider, I'm not going to be mad but if I have a one-trick Junkrat or Reaper on my team and the opposing team has a Pharah, then yeah, I'm going to have issues with that. And this isn't to say that they're bad at their character but if I, as a support, have to switch off to Ana or Bap to shoot the Pharah when it is not really my job to because YOU refuse to switch as the DPS, then yeah, there's going to be a problem. Not to mention, the fact that I'm a support having to be forced to DPS/defend myself means that you, as a DPS, won't be getting healed and I don't want people whining to me that they're not getting healed when they aren't doing their proper job and LETTING me die.

i wish i could rank up but im not good at tank 😞id say im like silver on tank but i havent actually done comp as tank. and i also hope i can get a dps duo as a support/mostly mercy main, because though im not blaming my team EVERY time, sometimes its just hopeless and i cant do anything

30:24 wanting well earned fights in the face of the ability to switch is part of the pilosophy for most one tricks. overwatch's uncommon, but major mechanic that it allows anyone to switch to another character at anytime. with it being a main mechanic of the game though, it kinda inherently gives, "im quirky and i do things differently" vibe. that being said, I'm also a one trick

30:18 I agree with this take. Junker Queen was so much more fun before she got giga buffed

I feel this with some characters. Like, Cass is less fun when his grenade ability is too easy or when headshots were too likely on Soljourn it ruined the character for me. The challenge of OW is fun. Removing the challenge removes the fun, especially on characters that are supposed to be challenging.

i dont think cupid understands what the first question means. its not just about if you play perfectly and do your job. mercy doesnt go with a lot of team comps meaning sometimes shes not always the pick. ive lost multiple games because we had a mercy that wasnt the pick and wouldnt swap. like if you say you lost and then tell me your team comp was tracer sombra dive and you were playing mercy..youre definitely at fault there (watching back, i dont think many of them understood what the question means lol) the whole reason the question was asked in the first place is because theyre one tricks, and one tricks dont always work with or against certain comps. its not always about if youre playing well or not its about if youre getting maximum value from your hero.

Hi I’m the mercy from the video! I was taking the question pretty literally and didn’t have time to properly prepare an answer since it’s on the spot. I am aware mercy doesn’t work in all comps but most one tricks don’t work in all comps either. The games I’ve had I would say aren’t my fault. I’m doing the most I can on mercy and what her kit provides and I’m playing the hero correctly. I’m aware that when the team comp needs to be adjusted I do so. My usual swaps are bap or kiriko. I’m more flexible than most one tricks I’d say. A lot of the time I am getting doom one tricks and Sym one tricks in my game and there’s only so much I can do to accommodate that when the enemy is just clearly countering our team. I work with the team but I still am a mercy one trick. Hopefully this response cleared things up tho

Look him up silvoc07,he's chill and somehow cracked

This topic is so complex. Good arguments can be made on both sides.

it sounds like these guys (save for silvoc) are mains and not otp’s

tapedpensir is a one-trick i can respect. he knows when he's being dead weight and he's willing to switch off. it's so toxic for a one-trick to basically slam their entire team into a brick wall over and over again trying to switch up their gameplay as opposed to giving their team a better fighting chance by changing heroes.

Personally I think it is ideal to have 3 heroes in your pool for each role if you are playing solo. This is because with 3 heroes you can always have a counter swap or have a hero that can play around your team comp.

im loving this junkrat main. he got in-character quick.

One tricks are weird. The health question in particular: I would say that while they might be healthy for the game because they bring a bit of expertise to the team that other options can’t, one tricks can still be detrimental to a team, and it’s because of not only the mood they can put the team in, but the stigma surrounding them that they’re bad BECAUSE they’re a one trick. They won’t be bad, but it takes the team playing with them and abusing their expertise to win the game. It becomes unhealthy when the team refuses to acknowledge their worth. I am not a one trick, but I’ve had similar thought processes because of my character pool (Lucio, Brig, Mercy, Weaver, Bap) and I generally try to play the characters where they fit in pre-made teams, rather than randomized teams, which does sometimes prove to be a special type of knowledge that gets ignored because “we’re not in scrims.”

as a junk player, i think she just took the least criminaly insane junk main she could find

If a one trick can’t help counter certain hero, the best they can really do is just avoid all confrontation and leave it to someone else to deal with.

Having a one trick on your team (especially in the tank role) is the least fun i've had playing ow2 bc your if they counterswap your one trick you on most occasions just lose. Not to mention getting them on maps where their hero just sucks like getting a lucio otp on circuit royal is just an avoid and go next in most cases.

One trick hanzo here. One tricking taught me the ins and outs of him. I dont get ‘hard countered’ by pharahs anymore, because I forced the matchups and LEARNED. Yes, it lost me games a year ago in bronze, but that knowledge wins me games in masters when people tilt swap to pharah. Then echo, then hanzo. Guess what, theyre bleeding ult Charge trying to hard counter me 🤷‍♂️

the thing is deeping your hero pool doesn't have a negative affect no one expects anyone to play 7 different heroes like on tank id expect a tank to play at least one dive and one shield so you can play different play styles with who your team can play, I expect a dps main to have a main ofc but being able to play like hitscan bc that is not hard at all, playing one character and that's it you hinder the game if ur getting counted and if your not then it doesn't matter yk?

Nope definitely nothing wrong with their minds. One tricks tend to play a specific character so much because the playstyle suits them. I am a Rein main/onetrick for the most part because i get to hit stuff with a hammer. Showing the cowards with guns what a hammer to the face looks like never gets old for me.

Ngl 1 trucking is most definitely not healthy for the game but you can be insane at that character and destroy your counters

i don't like one tricks on my team cause the ones i've found only have 1 playstyle and as soon as they start getting countered they refuse to switch and proceed to feed their brains out. And i disagree that only playing that one character will make you better at that character than someone that has your hero and two others they play.

And if he gets hard countered he just goes soldier which I also dont mind

i think the one trick characters depends on what character you pick, generally if you one trick 76 you are prob good with other dps but if you are a ball one trick. there is not other tank like him. if you play ball you are not really a tank main you are a ball main. kinda how i feel with moira(my one trick) im not really a support main. i am a moira main.

Gallus, so are you one tricking, or keeping a small pool of characters? Cause he’s changing the issue, he’s saying going too flex is bad, but the question is about diversifying character Pool past more than 1 character.

beach junkrat is a gigachad

Heres a hypothetical, you one trick a tank lets say reinhardt and your being super aggro, big slams, landing firestrikes getting kills (playing optimally for your role). But your healers arent healing you and youre dying more often than you feel you should. That person might start flaming their healers and saying its their fault. But you dont realize that they dont have LOS or they're being flanked and killed while youre charging in. If that rein player got some experience playing as a healer and seeing the issues with healing a tank that is the same issues, they would probably be more considerate when they jumped back into their tank role. Playing other roles you are able to observe how others play in game and say "okay when i play as that role i will try to avoid doing that" or "i will take notes from this player thats really carrying our team"

Yes but if your comp needs a certain hero then the one trick will do a way better job than the flex. The reason the flex is in the same rank is because if their comp doesn’t need the hero they’re playing they can swap to the other one and make it a bit better but if you’re 5 stacking for example and need someone who can play Ana to help your Rien then having an Ana OTP will always be better than having someone who can play Ana decently but doesn’t only play her

I dont think the logic is flawed. They are in the same rank as other people while only playing one hero, so they can generally play around counters in their skill range (else they would be lower).
