Is it bad that i'm only good at one character and bad at everyone else?

[PossessingSpirit09]

I discovered that i'm relatively decent as squirrel girl, because i can somewhat predict the bounce angle - only cause I can't aim for s**t

I've tried probably around 50-60% of the roster, varying across the healers, support, dmg dealers, the occasional tank. but none of them seem to really win me matches like squirrel does.

any recommendations for any other heros that are ... simple?

Literally the entire roster.
Its a FPS where most characters are hitscan or melee with slow standard movement and no crouching.
What you want aren't simple heroes, but heroes you don't have to aim on, which is Scarlett which sometimes and cloak and dagger

It depends on what you mean "bad". If your aim is to just play matches against relatively same skill players, you'll do just fine. If you want to get into that "one above all" - then you can't be maining only 1 character because once you get to diamond, it's hero bans. And - sure, nobody in sane mind will ban SG in mid ELO, but if you are truly a gifted player, you'll make a name for yourself and people in truly high ELO like eternal+ will ban your main hero if you're too good at that.

So you need to learn other characters at least as a backup. Or don't bother - if you won't ever go beyond plat, do whatever you want.

i just want to be helpful to my team at end of day. and if that means annoying the hell out of the opposite team then its all good
i'm just trying to figure out who else I can play competently is all. I just feel the second I try anyone else, I just keep dying and dying. but suddenly when i pick SG, then i barely die at all (I keep thinking KDA in terms of league; minimize deaths, maximize kills/assists)

You should be able to play at least 1 of each role maybe 2 so just practice with the others and you will get better

It's bad because if anyone else chooses you're main you're screwed. You need to know at least 6 heroes so you aren't helpless if the worst case scenario comes to pass.

Also being good at only Squirrel Girl is the worst possible thing in this game.... because Squirrel Girl requires ZERO skill to get value out of. Literally anyone who can hold down the LMB can get value out of squirrel girl. You don't even need to look at the enemy most of the time.

As for other "simple" heroes to use.... you can try Namor, Scarlet Witch and Dagger. These are probably the "easiest" heroes to use out of everyone. Namor throws turrets. You lose out big time if you can't aim with the trident, but the turrets at least ensure you are never deadweight. Scarlet Witch and Dagger are super easy to aim with and you can get decent value out of them at low ranks.

Yes, it's bad.

Try them all in the practice range and see what you gel with.

thanks for this tip. i don't have the aim and reflexes I used to; so maybe putting in some time in the lab for those would be beneficial.

Why change if you're good with her?

cuz its only the one hero XD
i'm a literal one trick - and while im good, it'll be bad for my team if i can't switch to fill a missing role

Cloak and Dagger / Scarlet witch are kinda the non answers. But Cloak after buffs has major self sustain vs the other healers ( 55 hp/s x 6s every 12s vs 100 hp every 8s (mantis) or 90 hp (12s) + 90 hp (24s Luna snow)

So basically every 12s
o Cloak: 200-250 self healing / 12s + 40 hp/s aoe healing if healing/attacking targets within 8m of daggers
o Mantis: 150 hp/12s. (But constant)
o Luna: 135 hp/12s (But on demand, but linked to her peel / abilities)

Cloak does tickle dmg and previously had a 44% gm wr, often when mains were banned and the others went expert rocket/adams with luna/mantis bans.

But she's unironically seeing gm play even when Invis/Luna snow / mantis are available Even though im not sure if she's a top pick, since their teams still seem to lose a fair amount and win a fair amount. But Cloak and dagger gets near 90% dagger / beam value with very generous aim. Self healing (before buff it was inconsistent, now it's much better), and her ult is much more able to get value with 4 vs 3.

Aside from that, just practice aim/sensitivity, the practice range has a underground area you can practice against 5 bots and change them to player models in settings.

And vs ai isn't as good for gamesense as real players, but it's fair to practice aiming at teammates / healing / team comps even if sometimes the ai easy is like set to maybe silver.

Takes a while to get good at any character but yes you should try to be as flexible as possible unless you only do qp.

I play Squirrel girl too, penny is a lot of fun if your team plays with you or just act like hulk where the maps will allow and just bounce around a lot throwing mines at all the lanes and med packs you can see. Your nest should be a death trap, corners are your friend and focus on killing the tacticians first.

yea i basically do what you've suggested - but my brain is going brr and just holding down the LMB not going to lie, i do be mobile bouncing aroud the place and throwing the traps - so ya, major annoyance for enemy team is what i'm going for

[JG2thend]

Get holding a corner down first that's important start on the bounce and dive the back lines later it's not easy using those webs to quickly break los if you dive using it and it snaps you got 3 seconds till you can get out,and i'm not so good at it. I'm using it over big doorways and just bouncing down throwing mines and spring back up and cling to the wall waiting on heals.

People start off bad and get better over time. Don't beat yourself up just because you aren't good at them yet. Exrpiment and play with characters and you'll keep getting better and better.
