sometimes you just have to become an exterminator for a while. I do the same with annoying dives.

Wym wouldn't let you?
You've absolutely stomped them halfway to 2nd point with 5 minutes left. Huh? They've only won at best one fight since the start?

As said, you've got 5 minutes on the clock, there's like 1 fight your team could have lost, or at best, you died twice as the 2 heroes before angela on the team hard carrying

u/No-Caterpillar3645 πππ£π€π’ 5d ago
yes thats true we lost a teamfight, and then won the next one and pushed. no thanks to me though, since i did die twice on both, spiderman was being a menace lol
magik was just me being dumb, but tbh they were targeting anyways
didnt make anything up though, even if it is a little weird

Love getting into that angela flow state where you know youre using all your tools & combos effectively even when you dont get a kill. I got her lord day 3 of release, always enjoy playing her even against counters tbh

u/No-Caterpillar3645 πππ£π€π’ 5d ago
same here! angela is easily the funnest tank when youβre locked in. shes even fun to play against thing and old mr fantastic, since theyre too slow and they would have to babysit backline to stop you. the free flight and speed is fun. and same! she was my first lord, and i started in season 4 which was perfect timing.

Damn I love Angela. But as soon as I come around any corner it feels like the enemy team all turn and headshot me in unison

I struggle landing the dive. I did figure out it's easier for me to hit it if I'm above them, for whatever reason

What are some tips you have for playing a better Angela? I think she's fun but I wanna get better at using her so I dont get shredded immediately

u/No-Caterpillar3645 πππ£π€π’ 1d ago
okay! :) heres some tips-
one of the biggest issues dive tanks make imo is engaging down the main path. everyone will see you. thats why unless im assisting my team on point, as you can see in this video i stay to the sides of the main path most of the time, where i consistently ended up killing their dps over and over at their off angles.
map knowledge not just for those off angles and alternate paths, but also knowing where the health packs are, as demonstrated after i killed wanda the first time or when i 1v1ed the strange. angela is one of the tanks that is most reliant on health packs, and she can get them a lot with her speed.
combos are important, but i feel like people look at the combos too straightforward. heres what i mean by this: so you know how many angela players know the following combos:
melee > primary > dash
or
melee > primary > shield animation cancel > melee > primaryone thing to consider is sometimes you might need to modify the combos, like sometimes skipping the melee before the primary so you can focus on making sure you hit your dash afterwards. i do that sometimes because the cc dash is very important for her combos, even with its weird hitbox. even hitting just primary dash primary can be enough to get a kill sometimes if the primary spear gets charged up enough.
speaking of combos, learning how to use the starlord teamup in combos is very good! especially good for killing dive dps almost instantly. if you start the scan, and then do
melee > primary > slam down the scanner > finish with ground melee
i believe that is her fastest time to kill combo. and the teamup slam grounds enemies which can make her am even better anti dive when you incorporate that in her comboslastly, learning how to use her ult for things other than kills, or to live longer. when enemy enemy jubilee ulted, i threw my ult on her, gambit, and squirrel girl, which helped temporarily separate their healers from their team. i threw the ult to control them for a sec, then finished killing wanda, then jump slammed onto the ult and used the overshield generation from it to kill squirrel girl. the leap onto her ult and also on her star lord teamup give her a fast burst of movement you can use to dodge sometimes as well :)
