First thing is, i said some of us needed to defend at the arches and hold it because they had a genji and reaper and god knows what else. If we all stayed at the point we would constantly get flanked and bypassed. Instead he says we need to all stand at the point because thats how its done.
So guess what happened? The entire match we were bypassed. They even switched to a winston to jump into us.
Then he brought up the shield thing. I literally could not drop my shields because we were being fired upon by the rest of the team. the few times i dropped my shields to kill winston when he hopped at us and dropped his shield ontop of us, they would fire into us and kill half the team. This happened more than once. Especially with the offensive torb having been allowed to setup in the room with everyone in my team ignoring it while he hammered away at it. What would have happened if i had pulled back to chase reaper around with them shooting us all up and a enemy turret up?
Mentioning "shield management" is find and dandy except when the situation called for keeping my shields up. How about hanzo or anyone taking out the offensive turret right in front of us, especially when I E'd it?
he's talking about "watch how the pro's do it" but we're not pro's and we're not fighting pro's. its a different ballgame. Especially when he's talking about generalities that dont fit in the here n now while i'am stating adaptation to the situation we are facing.. Then he starts with ad hominems when he couldnt do anything except repeat his already countered points.
You play the game, you counter the enemy picks. Not adhere to a fixed strategy and position, not to "whats usually done". You know what the pro's do? They adapt, idiots mimic.
