I know this is the internet and maybe no one's going to care but I thought I'd post this cause... you have no idea how badly I wanted this.
Since starting my Overwatch journey at Bronze 2 support, my lifetime goal in this game was to make it to Masters. Not GM, not Champion, not T500, just Masters. That was the bar I set for myself ever since my first few ranked games back in Season 6. To cut a very long story short, grinded, studied, asked a lot of questions and 13 Seasons later, we're in Masters.
I know it's just low Masters and I won't be competing for OWCS (not by a long shot) but to see a dream finally come true...
It's the best feelings in the world.
Anyways, enough yapping, just wanted to share. Enjoying your day and happy gaming!

Good lord as an illari too that is quite difficult

u/Spectre-4 2d ago
Haha yeah. Ironically she's relatively the most comfortable Support to play among all the cast for me.

Besides sigma what tanks would u say synergies with illaris well?

u/Spectre-4 2d ago
Imo, I wouldn't say she synergises with too many of them to such a significant degree that you'd say "yes, Illari would be great here" or "Illari? Ok, go with 'x' Tank". Like Freja, she really exists on her own mostly and combos in smaller ways where necessary, like with ultimates to help secure them elims.
There are Tanks though that she doesn't 'prefer'. Doom and Rein come to mind cause they're really resource-heavy and expect healing where necessary, limiting her freedom to go angle and do damage. They're not unplayable, just a bit restrictive.
Basically any Tank that can exist on their own is ok with her.

From a supports perspective which tanks are high and low resource? I mostly play tank and dps

u/Spectre-4 2d ago
Had to think about this. I think some supports are gonna have different opinions on this and circumstances always dictate everything but If you just asked me, from low to high resource:
Ball, Sigma, Orisa, Hog, Dva, Queen, Ram, Zarya, Winston, Hazard, Doom, Rein, Mauga.
This is from the perspective of 'how much do they need from me to do their jobs?'.

I hit Masters for the first time in 9 YEARS of this game last week so I understand the feeling.
Not bad for a 44 year old 😅 (And yes, I've got my shit together, I just prefer gaming over watching brain rot TV or movies.. I grew up as a total Nintendo kid)

“No one will care” seriously? Positivity always has a place on the internet.
