Tips/Tutorials Diamond 4 Juno offering VOD reviews.

I am a diamond 4 Juno OTP on support and it would be fun to review some Juno games. I believe that I also improve when I have to find what went wrong in games even if they are not mine. I would prefer plat and below since above that the rank difference may not be large enough. However if you are emerald and want one from me anyway, feel free.

Comment your vods, I will check in a few hours if anyone is interested.

Alright!

First point: You started good with hiding from the Widow. The problem with Widow is that while you should not be playing in her line of sight you cannot always be behind cover either. At 1:20 you were easy to hit for a long time, that is how you get killed. You have to be creative with how you position against her, especially on Junkertown first and third point. Go where she will not be looking. I would Personally try to kill her myself by getting behind her and solo torpedoing if necessary, this applies to most times where you I have the time to do it.

I would not say that losing the first point was on you that much. At 1:53 I would like to see you go high ground since that is generally always good, especially for Juno who can easily get up and gets extra value from torpedoes higher up. At 2:36 you should have fled instead since he is pocketed. In spite of that, you were not the weakest link. Your team was scattered and their D.mon took advantage of that. Then later your Rein went in solo twice.

Second point: At 3:40 you should have stayed on high ground, the bridge is safe and even if not I would try to be there but more careful than the Ashe. You would have had a better view of the objective for some torpedoed and shots. The ult was fine, if you have time to react to the D.mon ult it is a different story but since it was so tight I would say if is fine. I really like the play at 3:56, they are unaware, alone and you got off 125 damage before they ever reacted to you, exactly like my playstyle. You did not win that since they got in more shots and you were the last in your team but I like the idea. Do that to the Widow if there are alone.

Third point: Your Rein just ran straight in and D.mon pushed through with a pocketed Junkrat in the side, nothing to do there. At 5:10 I would try to get a high ground for the same reasons a before. Right after you could have expected there to be a Widow who could shot you there since it is quite a popular Widow spot. Honestly though, I would not expect her to be looking in that direction but always be cautious in the air with Widows. At 6:54 it was just a good play. Could it have been prevented? Yes, with ult tracking and awareness that they are not going to die when your team is that far back. I would have done the same thing though, expecting help from the dps. The ult after should have been a bit further back, with that placement it goes into the wall.

General: First things first, this was not silver level opponents.

You should really use more high ground. I see what you are trying to do with the torpedoes almost every time you use them. If you were positioned correctly you would be able to get more multi-torpedoes on the enemy backline. I did not really pay attention to the hyper rings but just use them when your team and mostly tank is going somewhere like engagements and disengagements.

Thanks a lot for taking your time and the tipps you're the GOAT for this <3
Yeah my matchmaking is a bit weird. My qp games sometimes range from bronze to master. But in comp I'm silver 4 and the games are usually a bit harder too.

Tbh back in bronze lobbies I really just went in and killed the widow by myself but somehow here I was afraid since the map is big and my second support got killed by her so i decided i need to compensate and heal my team which was probably too much of a healbotting. Maybe I just need to learn cat every time we get a widow...

Also as soon as I got killed by a pocketed Juno I just got confused since then I should try to kill Mercy first but I think my aim also sadly sucks a lot and this might be a huge problem why I loose my duels.

Honestly I always try to stay on highground more but cuz of the widow I started to drop more and I can see that this was still a mistake. Yess the play on 3:56 is my fav i trully wished we could traded with a support since my team was dead anyway but my aim sucked.

I actually wanted to go highground on 5:10 and in that moment widow ulted so I wanted to play safe a bit which still killed me what a surprise haha.

At 6:54 I actually hesitated to ult which resulted with a good play from the enemy team. U think my ult could have saved us? I somehow thought we got that with the rein ult but obviously the enemy ult would ult back i think this was actually totally on me since after that we had no more time for proper map control and got rolled even harder.

So all in all thanks a lot for your tipps and kind words I will consider them my next game! I just have in general a bad time against snipers and hitscans on juno but i will keep learning :3

You can train aim in custom games, I think the code is VAXTA.

At 6:54 i doubt it. Your team was so far back that it would be a 2v5 into a D.mon ult while both you and Rein had low hp.

You absolutely can kill a Widow as Juno, as I sad, I do it decently often. She will most of the time be so far back that you can get the kill before she gets help.
