Pro tip if you use Gibby

USE YOUR ABILITIES. My God it's almost like it's illegal to throw a bubble. I still have to encounter a normal Gibby user after 2 years of playing😬.

@pandareno1999 What makes me mad about Gibby is the fact that they do not even use his tactical even when they are being shot in the open and almost dead. Just why???

I have one thought for you. Players who are not very good at the game (I have some experience in this department) will often forget about their abilities when they are in the heat of battle. Whether it be from playing a Legend one is less used to, or tunnel vision centered on the gunplay itself, misclicking one's tactical (OOPS I forgot I'm not playing octane!) or failing to use it at a critical moment is a common mistake.

@pandareno1999 I have this problem a lot because I try to adapt which legend I choose to the makeup of my team. So, if I see my teammates go with mainly defensive legends, I'll probably switch to Bang or Lifeline instead of the Loba I've been playing all day.

Then, I run into the problem you describe. I have my muscle memory set for Loba or Wraith to escape, and I forget that the situation calls for me to toss my smoke grenade, etc. The funny thing is I'm sometimes even waiting for it, like "why the heck isn't Bang tossing her smoke when we're all being targeted..." and then the moment of realization, "wait, I'm Bangalore. Whoops. (Q)"

@pandareno1999 LIES! players who are not good overuse abilities! Just like 90% of the bangs I had this weekend (ID can attest)! It’s either overuse or never use it! Key characters for not using LL and Loba

  It's really embarrassing when you're playing a legend like Valk and misclick your tac. Yes, I was expecting to move twice as quickly but instead I just erased my own white armor! @Koochi-Q I suspect some bang mains have a special keybind for auto-smoke.
