Whenever I play Mercy, I keep screwing up her guardian angel ability.
I'll be looking at someone I want to fly to and heal, only to fly 2 feet backwards to someone I swear I wasn't looking at, expending the cooldown on nothing.

I think if you're healing or buffing someone, you fly at them, not at who you're looking at. I've definitely flown at people I wasn't looking at and I think that's why. Unless I was just getting knocked back or something, but it's happened too many times for it to be a coincidence.
Since you guys were discussing desks I thought I would chime in. I sit at a ping pong table. There's two reasons, my desk is covered in other crap, and it is very far from the router. Also, let Reynolds use whatever he's comfortable with.
It seems like work because it is work. But you're developing a tighter hand-eye coordination pathway and bringing your reaction time down to your maximum.
Some of us are born better at twitch activities -- welcome to life -- but training can help you overcome whatever deficiencies you have.
Doing drills outside of a videogame to get better at a videogame you play for recreational fun is one of the most asinine things I have heard of in a good long while.
I mean, it's the same as going to the driving range and working on your swing.
Not everybody likes or needs to do that, but it is not really an insane thing to do.
In this case it's pretty dumb, looking at those drills.
Because how your mouse behaves on your desktop isn't how your mouse behaves in Overwatch. It's like going to a driving range with your friends clubs who is a foot taller than you.
If you want to get better at Overwatch just play Overwatch and be mindful of how you are playing.
You don't need to Fuckin' run aim drills to play Overwatch
people can play how they want
They can
Which is why I was taking umbrage with the post saying that anyone who is "serious" about Overwatch needs to be running aim drills to make up for any naturally born skill they may lack

A trap is for fish: when you've got the fish, you can forget the trap. A snare is for rabbits: when you've got the rabbit, you can forget the snare. Words are for meaning: when you've got the meaning, you can forget the words.

It is, however, an insane thing to suggest anyone who is remotely serious or isn't "beyond help" about Overwatch do

If you're trying to be top ranked or play professionally then sure, You should probably practice a lot
But the vast majority of players, including people who take the game seriously, will never do an aiming drill and don't really need to
I mean, motherfuckers who play golf like three times a year go out to the driving range for giggles and practice.
Throwin' shade on Reynolds clearly wasn't necessary, but I'm kind of intrigued by the drill and am interested to see what, if any difference they make.
I'm a horseshit sniper, and if I can improve my Widow or Hanzo game with some of that, I might make a little time to practice.
Like, Ardent straight up walked into this thread and called some a deficient human being for experiencing discomfort using a mouse and keyboard and not wanting to run drills that cause them physical pain to become better at one of their leisure activities.
By default gaurdian angel prioritizes the person your beam is on. This is dumb.
There is an option hidden in the UI to turn this off.
Well that's that turned off forever.
I just got my first 2 POTGs! 1 for dumping my mech onto turret Bastion that had been sitting in one spot forever, a teleporter, a turret, some traps, and 2 other people. I died before the mech even blew up because I was giving double middle fingers to that fucking Bastion.
you can be serious about Overwatch not practice. you can complain about heros, bad team comp, etc.
but you will eventually be outclassed by people who have dedicated the time to reviewing their aim, positioning, hero choice, and why they died. those people are serious about their commitment to not just playing the game but improving faster than everyone else is.
some people don't want to fully commit to something that daunting but being able to get a little edge over people by just being better practiced is something that is more digestible and doable.

That video isn't even good and those drills aren't even good. I mean, that guy admittedly said this is their first FPS, so it makes sense.
If you want to be better at Widowmaker start cranking down that sensitivity/DPI, personally I'd go into the options and change it so you have the same movement sensitivity scoped and unscoped for consistencies sake, and make sure you have a large area to move your mouse. And then just play a lot of Widowmaker and focus on your accuracy in game. Playing Overwatch with a goal is going to always be better training that not playing Overwatch and using some browser program that isn't Overwatch.

You won't because the game has MMR so you'll be matched up with people with a similar level of player ability.

I figure it's going to be like this: you can have two players on the same level but that doesn't mean they have the same aim/reflex habits. like, a good primary widow who has great aim but shit bad positioning could be matched against a primary Mercy that basically never dies but cannot for her life aim worth a shit.

I don't know if i'm any good at him but he's definitely been the most fun to play so far
lucio is literally the life of the party
it's super good design thematically and feels fun to play, though you are mostly reliant on the rest of your team getting up and dancing instead of hiding in separate corners

Also easily my favourite healer for KotH just because of how the game type works.

I feel like it matters a lot if you're on console or PC which is better
PC you want autobeam/fly to aimed target.
Console, it's much easier to just hold down the trigger and harder to aim, so jump to healed target makes sense.
I play on console and I would say aimed target is always better.
Especially since you don't have to actually be facing your heal target.
Its makes bouncing around teammates so much easier.
i tried out lucio last night
I don't know if i'm any good at him but he's definitely been the most fun to play so far
Have you seen him? Now you have
If he was serious, he'd switch to M&K and do drills like this:
