Maintaining my position in Overwatch
It might become an issue. I just stay hidden with whoever picks Bastion.
Don't solely hold blame on teammates. Understand the 20/40/20 principle. Roughly 20% of games will be lost early because of your team's weaknesses. Another 20% are simple victories thanks to the opposing side making mistakes. The remaining 40% are crucial matches where your own abilities and performance decide the outcome. Prioritize those 40%.

Watched this segment around 2:00 and 17:50. As Pharah, aim to minimize exposure. Your jetpack, booster, and concussion aren’t meant for solo aerial combat or being a target. Just like on foot, where you avoid open areas and use cover like walls or pillars, Pharah should position himself so he can retreat to cover whenever needed (e.g., rooftops, around pillars, statues). On foot, movement is limited to side-to-side, allowing quick access to cover for shooting. For Pharah in the air near cover, fly upward and downward repeatedly to maintain firepower. You’re getting my point?
At 4:18, their Lucio ulted meant your team was too far behind to support you—don’t rely on ult. Use it strategically in team fights to secure victory, not just to win a one-sided battle. Generally, Bastion isn’t effective when the team isn’t playing around him. The rein wasn’t working well and healers weren’t paying enough attention, so you lost ground.
At 5:04, those lag spikes seem unusual. Are they normal? At 8:00 and 20:57, you’re taking damage as a Tracer but not focusing on targets. As a Tracer, prioritize healing allies over yourself. If you see non-healers being healed, switch focus to healers. Once they’re down, shift to other enemies. Keep enemy healers away; their team will weaken without support.
At 23:28, you noticed this too. At 13:36, your team likely lost the fight. At 23:50, you questioned challenging Ulted 76 as a Tracer—probably too late, just focus on survival. You mentioned at 25:22 that you stopped watching because it was tiring.
The video ends with a recommendation to watch it later—it offers useful advice (some points covered here). Note: Ana’s current strength has decreased since the update.
Start by being truthful about your abilities. Everyone interacts with teammates who are either strong or weak, but it’s never about blame—never about why you’re not progressing. I’ve played competitive online games for two decades (my first was Quake TF in 1997), and what keeps coming up is that people tend to shift responsibility onto others instead of owning their mistakes. To truly grow, admit your gaps, honestly assess your strengths and weaknesses, and decide what you can handle on your own versus what needs outside help. Read this carefully: some issues are personal—like recognizing when your aggression hurts your game—and others require guidance from someone more experienced. Set achievable goals, because real improvement takes time and patience. Don’t confuse skill with perfection; focus on areas like timing, map awareness, and reading enemy patterns. Those skills matter more than reflexes or aim. Expectations and frustration are your biggest obstacles. The harder you push yourself and the more you feel stuck, the worse you’ll perform mentally. I took a break from golf to reset my mindset—remember, staying calm and practicing with purpose is key to progress.
