solarbird: (widow)
Today is stupidly busy but I have time for like three rounds of play before back to things, right?

Widowmaker, at Hollywood, on defence. I've been on. All three games, turns out, as Tracer, as Widowmaker, as D.va later. But particularly as Widowmaker.

They got the first point just as time wound down, and have moved the payload some. Enemy Reinhardt is coming down towards the payload from spawn, I get a good shot on him but not a headshot; a second like it would take him out. He throws up his shield and I toss a venom mine where he can't move forward (or to the sides because of where he is) without triggering it. He can't smash it 'cause he'd have to drop his shield and I'd finish him. All he can do is back up, which ends that attack run.

And he looks up at me, and down at the mine, and back up at me, and says, "I SALUTE YOU!" And I say thanks. And he retreats. It was lovely.

Yeah, that was too nice. Guess who has another aim collapse tonight? ME!

Bottomed out at 4%. jesus fucking christ how do you even aim that badly? WELL, FUCKING WATCH ME DO IT.

why does this happen? I hate it so much.

I know from experience the only way out is through. Tipoffs are I start spiralling in with the controller stick instead of actually, you know, aiming directly. As Widowmaker in particular, that's how to fucking die. Trying to correct for that works as far as that part goes, but then my length-of-time-'till-fire is fucked up - I may be moving the sight correctly, but the timing is still based on the endless-fucking-spiral-in.

Got back up to 12% when I ran out of practice time which hopefully means I'm already working through it. They last anywhere from an hour to three days - tho' I haven't had one last more than a day in a while.

fucking miserable
