[@divatamer194]

I'm 52. Recently widowed and bought a PS5 to help take my mind off of her. Welp. This is my first time playing any type of FPS and let me just say. This is actually nore depressing. I'm getting dog walked. Molly whopped. I mean these people are beating the brakes off of me. I feel as if I forgot that I borrowed money, and the guy I borrowed it from plays every match I'm in. I think just grieving was easier. Now I'm grieving and pissed.

[@AntiLordblue]

Best of luck with everything man. I just plain suck at shooters. I normally prefer, singleplayer, melee, and fighting games. Aim training and game knowledge is the fastest way to improve. And hang in there I'm not as old as you but I do be being whopped by the players lol.

Haha its hard trying to play an FPS when everyone else has been playing the same genre for years, my dad tried but gave up

The biggest thing I’ve learned from my thousands and thousands of hours on competitive games is that the people shit talking the most & blaming people the most are usually the worst. The TRULY good players just shut up, and LOCK IN. Good players realize that there’s no point in fucking people’s mental just to make yourself feel better.

[@Cqntemplate]

I’ve biggest thing I’ve realized while trying to coach my friends who are in gold, is that EVERY. SINGLE. ONE. Of them have 0 awareness of what is going on around them and where their supports are. I constantly see them die around corners even though they had MORE than enough time to go back into LoS of the healers because they don’t ever bother to even CHECK where their supports are positioned

[@WizzyTheDizzy]

Lmao imagine seeing ur support playing luna snow and go in to do DPS and barely get 2k healing done after one round. TRY having those Teammates for 10 streaks, where you are almost always the SVP trying to win.

I highly disagree, so boring having to play matches where the only thing people will respond to is me eventually flaming them. If you gonna play ranked then either be capable or get flamed. If you wasting my time tryna troll games you have no idea how to play, then I’m gonna at least have some fun and call you out so that you think before trolling more games.

Honestly the insta lock DPS wannabes in this game are a genuine problem. I’m diamond in rivals, and more than half of my DPS tm8s don’t understand how to make space or get picks, if we’re pushing through a spot they just use us tanks as body shields instead of trying to find an angle to pick off an iron man or a Hawkeye or a healer. It seems like most DPS mains just either aren’t confident or are just scared to die

As someone who Climbed to GM relatively quickly as well, this is genuinely great advice. Not only does he perfectly describe the changes in play style between Lower tiers and Higher tiers. But he also perfectly explains the type of Macro and Map awareness needed to improve as a player.

The best aim training is going to the practice range, putting the range to mid range and movement random and practice killing all the squishy character models with whoever you’re trying to aim better with each character aims differently so if you really wanna get better at aiming with that character, this is how you do it

[@e.karakaev7446]

No. The best aim training is going to be going on steam and downloading aimlabs/kovaaks and actually learning fundamentals of aiming and keeping the game specific things while playing the game

[@ApolloF22]

Aim vs luna, mantis and rocket - thats really all you need. Rocket since its a shorter hero

[@96Logan]

I have played a lot of League of Legends over the years, but this summer I found a podcast by some Aussie guys called Broken By Concept. They have drastically changed my outlook on competitive games. One thing that I have brought to Marvel Rivals from them is a 3 block system if you are trying to climb ranked. Basically play 3 games back to back, incorporate some sort of review of anything that got you frustrated from that block, and then take a break. At least an hour or two. Go for a walk, do some chores, whatever you need to do and then you can come back and do another 3 block. I wonder if for Rivals, a 4 or 5 block may be better because of game length. For League, some games are a 20 minute stomp or a 40 minute slog and that can be really draining. That's why 3 works so well.

[@86josh]

honestly your "rants" have helped me a lot. i've only played 50 games of comp due to work, but i'm really close to gm. hoping to hit it by the end of this season

I main Venom, and a lot of games I win with a solid team, the enemy team says stuff like “venom carried” or “venom holy fuck you focused our healers all game sheesh” But you’re right, when your random team doesn’t know how to play off of your plays, it’s hard to win fights or matches

[@estebanslavidastic4382]

Wow this is so informative. I learned something for each rank. I have been floating MASSIVELY. Went from silver 1, to plat 2, then switched up my main from Wolverine to psylock because I felt like I was plateauing and I wanted to have more impact on the games. Dropped down to gold 3, and now I’ve climbed back up to gold 1. But, I haven’t had any real structure, and I have absolutely rage queued, queued when I’m tired/not focused, queued when I’m tilted, and also blamed everyone but myself. This is my first video on your channel and you adressed all of this. Ty so much. Earned a sub and a like, will be tuning in more often.

[@DiamondChamp1]

[@estebanslavidastic4382]

@ exactly. No one can capitalize on his plays, or even knows how. Wolverine doesn’t start actually regularly contributing value until like, diamond and up imo. I just found that the value I got on him was so INCONSISTENT. Some games I would go 30-1, or 37-3, with top(or close to top) damage, and I felt like an immortal powerhouse that was an absolute nightmare for their tanks. To the point where their tanks would actively play around me and get terrified when they see me. Then other games, I would be playing the EXACT same way, and would feel like I would just fall over. Get no value, and even if I snatched a tank and went in on them, they would just pop a cd, and get healed and they were fine.

[@SnappyDude]

Honestly taking the two tips from your videos have helped me a lot. First to stop when I hit a lose streak. I'll play until I hit 2 loses in a row then I get off or switch to quickplay. Sometime that means I play 2 matches other times I play twenty. If I still want to play, if say I lost 2 right off, I'll just hop on quickplay to practice characters that Im not as good with. I've also been focusing on one character. I actually got this tip from someone else awhile back for OW but its really solid. Once you get good with a character and you know the positioning and their moves become muscle memory you can play them really well and you learn so much more playing at a higher skill. Your game skill just kind of starts to snow ball once your not just fighting to remember the moves on a character.

[@Ragalya]

Listening to this video was like listening to myself talk about all of my passions and obscure knowledge of pedagogy and very specific sciences lmao. Needless to say I enjoyed it, thank you for the reminders on some points and thank you for the new information on others.

love this series, so many other "ultimate guides" provide barebones information, misinformation/bad tips/habits, etc. For this theres plenty of useful information I don't know, and even if I did its at least coming from someone knowledgeable enough that I feel validated

[@duncanwells0088]

This guy is the most intelligent gamer I’ve ever encountered

[@emmytong5493]

Your logic of hardcore one tricking before learning another role is fair but i think you should do that in quickplay if your goal is only to learn the hero in and out. Dont take that attitude to rank.

[@Coach_Shotty]

I understand where youre coming from but quick play is HORRIBLE practice most times so unfortunately its a necessary evil

[@YourLeftNutt]

@@Coach_Shotty I hard disagree with the one trick but I also come from valorant as a high rank player so Im probably not your average person picking up the game. But your completely right that quick play is not adequate practice.

[@d3eano]

I’d rather have someone be really good in a role rather than flex to a role that they are so atrocious in that it’s literally worse which is in more cases than you imagine cause people who flex in lower ranks have the mindset of “oh it’s just a healer all I have to do is left click” or “oh it’s just a tank all I have to do is push” etc. rather someone understand their role and positioning for their respective role in the team, once someone is good with their respective hero it becomes much easier to learn other hero’s because instead of learning abilities you are learning how to counter which is much more important

[@unseeninja83]

One thing better explained regarding pushing, is that pushing doesn’t have to be agressive in the sense you win the fight but distracting the enemy. There was a game that I was being annoying with C&D to the point 3 people chased me down when I got behind them. They really chased me down and I distracted them for a good 20-30 seconds. Which is pretty huge help for teammates as the run the payload or defend it.

[@Mezyo]

Storm would be perfect example of a non healer strategist.

But he worked really hard for 6 days to get that shiny rank. Can't lose it now by playing the game for more than an hour after taking a cold shower and doing eye exercises.🤣

[@crelos03]

I don’t think you understood what he meant… he wasn’t saying to Smurf. He mentioned that as tank he’s at best silver, so it’s okay to play lower ranks. If you’re grandmaster at dps that doesn’t mean that applies to other roles cause you can be a bronze tank. The alt account can help you just understand other roles better on a comp level while actually being in that rank for that specific role.

[@graysonk3435]

This was a great vid bro, I love the comparison between brain training and physical training. I will definitely check out those eye and finder training links. I work a desk job and play games at night. I get terrible eye fatigue.

[@oscarclaydon5872]

This man is truly amazing, I came here expecting some simple tips to kill more ppl in rivals but now I am a wise man enriched with wisdom. Dude I honestly love your way of scientifically improving in games and explaining it flawlessly in such a way even my smooth brain can understand. Keep up the work man, I think your tips can actually help me outside of the game.

[@V1c._.]

23:11 :O Great vid, you always say put this on as background noise but then I couldn’t focus on what your trying to teach.

[@francismenancis]

Awesome vid the tips particularly on spacing and making sure I'm playing my role helped a whole lot in me finally getting out of silver 1/gold 3! Although, the "one-tricking" I think is what was actually holding me back, as soon as I switched to my other main after I was on a losing streak I went on a winning streak immediately after. I think it's bc in lower ranks at least you're more likely to lose if you have good healers avg dps/tanks vs avg healers good dps/tanks Huge thanks again

[@Fr4nz2K]

That rocket got that 9999 evasion 😂

[@iloosion2419]

Ive seen a couple of videos you’ve made and they’re honestly amazing. If anyone else was able to put this into a video it would be an hour, but the pace never gets in the way of clarity or precision. You will definitely grow as a youtuber

[@kamile3206]

This was a really good episode, honestly I'm at a point in my life were I have kind of stopped trying to improve at video games. This video gave me some good motivation to keep pushing! Also finding this video at the same time I'm supposed to find ways to exercise my wrist XD

[@infectouswolf7222]

Yah this is actual real advice. I like how you compare it to working out. I’ve never even thought about that which is crazy to say. Thanks for the tips man and you definitely earned a subscriber. Gonna try and share with all my friends too

[@koribryan5251]

Reading some of these comments feels like people didn’t actually watch the video. Anyway thanks Shotty, a lot of good advice here. I appreciate how you give constructive criticism without talking down to your viewers.

[@JoshuaOkami]

The is the most information I've gotten that is actually relatable to the game... subbed.

[@jamesrosengrant8675]

My group has recently been playing quick play with no healers to improve all of our individual skills and survivability. It's also super satisfying to beat a team without healing

[@dupreeherndonii1292]

Best Rivals vid I’ve seen since launch❤

[@Saber9933]

At 25:00 you said "This is probably only gonna be 25 minutes into the video". I appreciate this lmao

[@grinter210]

i absolutely need this not done yet but im gonna keep watching this and your stuff cause i honestly don't know how to get better or get out of my rank thanks for the effort you put into this

[@jadenprice479]

Actual goatee video, i’ve consumed 10s of thousands of yt vids and am top rank in many fps games, one of the best videos ive ever seen on improvement. puts mobalytics guides to shame

[@jadenprice479]

goated*

[@shawnbudnik9337]

I've only watched half this video and im already identifying lots of issues my team is having as well as where I'm making mistakes as a tank main. Not to be a sap, but I appreciate the hard truth you're giving us. Ill be running this through the team so we adjust better to fit our fights.

[@2stout2shako2d6]

Lmao this my new fav channel. Bro went Huberman mode

[@jilesbraeden]

that rocket was not fucking dying holyyyyy

[@tryhardtoasty]

Bro that Rocket was RUNNING 😭

[@Kackers25]

My man started spitting facts straight from the Huberman podcast 🔥

[@alilupset]

Damn this channel is tight. Good ish man 💪

[@Ac2Solid]

Can’t cap u helped me out gang💯

[@BanditRZO]

Been digging the yaps, keep it up.

[@tsiiphsycoii]

Watching that Rocket run around the wall why you constantly try to shoot him is very satisfying

[@Cosmic_Corpse22]

I think for climbing rank, its key to learn 2 heroes of each role. That way if someone else locks in one of the heroes you know well, you have a backup. It opens up the possibilities to pivot should you need to. And as far as comp, I am an AMAZING healer, but even getting 40k heals in a ranked match doesnt matter if I am the only healer. Usually you need at least 2. That way if one dies, you have another out there topping everyone up. Sometimes 3 healers works, assuming the enemy team is bad at backlining the healers.

[@bigboi4858]

These are very soothing and informative. God bless you.

[@onirem4973]

Joining the discord cuz i want to see more people get good, went from unranked to GM in the last 2 days myself, 10 hours max. We run this house 💪

[@cambot4614]

From a healer, to iron man mains; i love yall cause you make life easy, but just a wee little tip. If you stay a little bit in front of us, it’s easier to glance up and see your health status. If you want healing, ping it and we’ll prolly focus you. y’all tend to be hard to locate on some maps visually, and just a little bit of changing your position and communicating with the visual pings will help you get more heals. (as long as your healer is actually healing)

[@GamewizDeluxe]

26:03 that's why I use a small crosshair...I also don't focus on the crosshair as much when I'm aiming/shooting, I focus on enemies and aligning them to the middle fo my screen. u certainly earned a sub, I haven't enjoyed a coaching video this much since Iostux or Woohoojin! 😊

[@Nyndoke]

The video is filled with really good stuff, good job ! Don't talk about no 23 being old though, don't fall into that category or you'll eventually end up using age as an excuse for not being as good or whatever. Unless you develop health issues, you can compete on a pro scene well into your 40s as long as work and discipline follow. Ain't no age talk in here.

[@CheatingZubat]

As Support, my biggest issue is my team ignoring call-outs. When I mark an enemy in the back lane, or specifically request in chat to focus on a hero to kill..nobody listens. Usually it's Spider-Man, Black Panther, and sometimes Capt. America. They just ignore the healers plight to be saved and then we crash and burn in the match. Drives me crazy.

[@freljodiandao882]

I would say that flexing early on is okay, because it helps you understand the pain of your teammates. After playing some rounds as a strategist, I understood what I had to do as a Vanguard to ensure that they stay alive, which is harrass the duelist or vanguard who is trying to dive. Yes they may come back, but if they realize that they can't just dive willynilly, it gives my team more breathing room, and more time to push.
