Note: I’m putting this topic in here because I would assume it’s a “game moment” and not exactly “off-topic” as it still relates to in-game, but it doesn’t exactly fit into either 5v5 or 3v3 because it could be for any game mode I suppose. Move it to wherever you think it fits.
So, after reading over some posts and topics, in particular misclicking scout cams and potions - I was wondering if anyone (else) had bad in-game habits?
I’ll give you a personal scenario of mine I always seem to do at some point.
I’ll be battling an opponent with low health, and I’m chasing. Or maybe my teammate has low health, or, maybe I’m killing a health treant and I’m anticipating being healed. Maybe I’m a captain, I’m in a pickle and can’t help my carry who’s got low health and I pray they’re going to heal themselves. You get the idea.
So I use my potion. Complete knee-jerk reaction, and waste it. This often kills the crab.
Sometimes I’ll double-tap the quick-buy icon and buy the displayed item twice. That’s also a doozy. But this only makes the crab stronger.
I always forget to shop. Especially in 5vs5 and especially if I’m roaming. I don’t die as much in 5vs5 and always forget to visit the river shops so I end up with a stockpile of gold
Sometimes I hit FoR just as my teammate dies…total waste of a fountain
And then there’s the panic-hit-all-the-actives-my-teammate-is-dying reaction
My personal favorite is when I’m playing roam captain and I’ve already fountained one of my teammates who is still busy dying … and I hit my own flask, even though I’m already at full health, because I’m … trying to share it? Idek …
Oh boi…I don’t even remember how many times I must’ve done this xD
I guess it’s part of "my teammate is dying let’s spam activables"
It happens to me with Atlas as well…
My Skye was on half health against a celeste, I panicked and pressed Atlas to reduce the celeste’s attack speed…
Yes this is exactly in the same light as my OP. I’m thinking “heal!” And I see my flask and my mind goes “HEAL?” and then my teammate dies during my heal animation.
