Thank you for being one of the only og players with good memory to remember just how miserable 6v6 is. Thing is I remember a bunch of people recommended 5v5 now everybody trying to pretend they didn’t hate having two tanks. As a support a tank gang bang was miserable. It’s like everyone forgot and they’re gonna bully the devs into making it 6v6 again only to remember just how miserable it was.

The game sense, the mechanical skill and the way you’re always using every game as a teaching experience is amazing. Please keep up the great videos.

4:25 would help on controlling your mental state in the game as not raging or losing focus and it’s going to make things clear to you as focusing on the and overall game and matches you face. But as the man said you’re approaching the game wrong you’ll need to know first if u need to do this stuff or you need something else as improving your overall gameplay.

[@user-rg9co7dk2r]

I think lifeweaver could be changed like this: Primary fire could be hitscan with every 4 shots leaving a "thorn" in your opponent, stacking up to 25 with each reducing healing by one percent, and for every 30 healing received before being reduced, one is removed - this would give him some pressure and allow him / his team to capitalise on low hp enemies by reducing their healing. Life grip should be changed to be a deployable that would be placed and then a teammate would be chosen who could then hit interact whenever in its line of sight to be gripped to its location - this makes grip less of a troll (whether intentional or not) and moves the responsibility of making the call to the teammate he wants to help. Petal should be more controllable ( maybe tap to move up, double tap to move down?) and should either have healing or a shield to make it more beneficial to actually use. Maybe one more thing to help him enable teammates could be to leave a fully charged heal on someone and have it automatically activate when below half hp but this might be unnecessary.

7:15 i’d turn that around, you get good at thing by doing, you’ll do more of what you enjoy. So you’ll get good at things you enjoy doing, So pick a character you enjoy, and get good at it, and win win. Plus unless you’re a pro, its a game, why do something you don’t enjoy in the time you have to enjoy yourself.

[@AM_Diver]

As a Sombra main I think you gave Zen’s the best advice they could get however… it won’t work. The absolute optimal play is the alert your team and hopefully bring another character with a get out of jail free ability or your tank. I am not the best Sombra in the world, but I might lose 1 zenyata spawn fight in the span of 2 weeks if I play about 2 hours daily (this is not an exaggeration) call your team.

[@scarletphoenix2927]

[@Ron742_]

I agree about 5v5, but also I'm not a tank player. I think for tank players, 5v5 isn't as good as 6v6. It ends up being a counter swap fest, plus they might miss having an off-tank and that synergy, which I think is a fair point.

3:55 Wait why Hanzo? I'm a little confused on why since his kit doesnt seem impressive at all. No anti dive abilities and if your aim isnt very consistent you will struggle poking out genjis. Now soldier I agree with because his weapon is very easy to use.

[@CMOA1621996]

- Wait for someone to get stunned - storm arrow -profit

[@Awkward2]

It's a very straightforward kit and by simply shooting randomly towards a direction of enemies you are eventually bound to tap someone in the head.

[@donnjaburn9196]

2:07 they should give life grip 50 shield health instead of healing on pull. Like a little petal bubble is around them for the next like 10 seconds like a zar bubble but small I guess. Same with free of life. Instead of over health once enough healing is done give life protecting life. Maybe to not make that broken once the bubbles broken you can’t get another but if bubble is not broken free of life will refill the bubble. Also give him like 200 white hp and 75 shield health. Also he should throw that platform out faster

[@sith6375]

[@Abdulaziz-ew1du]

Thx for great content. Most great ow players are known for one hero or two, just find ur hero then find ur best sens then play rank a lot. The moment u say oh my team my team bla bla that’s ur fault.

[@RadarFinsR]

for the ADHD question guy as someone with ADHD myself I find I have to be reflective inbetween games since I can't really think too much in the moment I have to get to the point where the decisions are easier because they're built on previous decision making, now the real hard part is making sure your decision making is the correct one that you're learning into and not building bad habits but that goes for everyone not just our hectic brains. Also everybody is a bit different who knows maybe it won't work for you but i've always had great success with building my brain to be ready for those hectic moments both in life and in the game through planning, sometimes it's as simple as having planning for tactics just so you know how to think if that makes sense. I find myself kind of like awkward says talking to myself where I'll say the keyword of plan like maybe i'll be playing lucio and diving and know oh I'm escaping off the ledge and in my head when the panic sets in all I think is RUNNN and I find myself going straight to the plan.

[@Zathren]

I was saying since year one that 6v6 didn't make any sense. Can't wait to see all the 6v6 lovers realize it was just their nostalgia playing games with them. You thought no one could die with one tank? Wait till there's two of them.

[@user-kp3zs2to8k]

For some players like me nostalgia was only 1% of the reason we want 6v6 back, and idk who’s saying no one can die with one tank. It was more like everyone could die because there was only one tank.

[@KlayGoods123]

It’s mostly just supports who want to sit in the back and heal all game who want 6v6 to come back. Mercy/LW players are not gonna magically pick up tank

[@noobcola]

6v6 discussion reminded me of why I mained support and tank in the first place - it was because the DPS queues were 7 minutes on average, even with the bullshit priority ticket system lol. Y’all remember that shit, or did you 6v6 lovers forget that already?

[@overratedfool6900]

@@whambulance8607 I actually felt quite called out by him on this because I know my stats on her on good but my deaths high. I'm not saying that he's necessarily right regarding myself, but he may well be. She has my highest win rate at 53.3%, with my other 4 sup heroes all being between 51.7-52.3. She has my highest dam+heal/10 with 11.6k, with my other 4 sup heroes all being between 8.3-11.1. She has my highest deaths/10 with 7.9, with my other 4 sup heroes all being between 6.3-7.8. I do definitely feel like she is very easy to play and get a lot of value with, so I agree with him. My only wonder is if I'm personally playing her badly. I'm only gold so obviously I am lol, but I mean relatively. I usually play her frontline, but I definitely feel like there's easy moderate value if you don't.

What do you do if you only play overwatch with your friends but they are significantly lower in rank than you? Do I just not play with them? I can't carry every time ill get burned out.

[@GammaFields]

Play with them for fun, but also try to make teammates in ranked who are at your elo.

[@supaman8146]

Well they are your friends so I'd imagine you like to hang out with them so that should be part of the fun. Additionally, you shouldn't worry about carrying since it's not always possible in general. Instead, the fun should be long enough you are preforming well. For example, even if you lose but your kd was really high, that should be the victory for yourself because at the end of the day, carry games in just not always possible when there are 5 enemies to worry about. So just have fun when you perform well and of course having fun hanging out with your friends.

[@einarsveinsson865]

My friend is bronze i love playing with him but hes maybe the worst player ive ever seen. How do i coach him through games. Hes got real good brain He actually knows not to feed but He has No mehanical skill. Only thing i can think of is letting him win in 1v1’s He also will not watch overwatch videos

[@malcom11231]

That depends if your bronze friend actually wants to improve at overwatch or just wants to play without thinking too much. When I play with my silver friend and we queue up, I usually create a custom game with VAXTA so we can practice our aim. You can also try to see if their mouse settings are good or something, most people have their sensitivity too high and that is what makes them aim worse, taking into account that the space they have to move their mouse around is big enough. Or maybe they just get too nervous when shooting at enemies and whiffs haha

[@andyolson8255]

i have a couple friends like this, if they are just casual and are having fun, why ruin their fun by trying to force them to improve? But if he actually does want to improve, VOD reviewing is the best because it will actually show him HIS OWN mistakes that HE makes so it'll help immediately show areas to improve

I heavily disagree maybe for the first season of OWL, but as players became better at the game overall I can see how it’s extremely hard for viewers to keep up.

[@jacobarbogast6580]

Sure it is in gold.

[@MrJamedawg]

Its PRO play dude... They are doing stuff you have no idea why they are doing it but are doing it for a very niche reason we have no idea why. So ya most of the time you wont be able to follow what a team is doing until the outcome happens... its like that in every professional thing people watch for entertainment. lol 6v6... 5v5... You arent going to be able to keep up with what they are doing... BUT you can still follow and see what actions they are doing in 6v6. Not that hard.

[@lucasbrenneman215]

thanks awkward!

[@unArthodoxDR]

7:13 - I'm afraid I have to disagree with this take. If you play a character you're good at, but do not often enjoy the process of playing the character, you will burn yourself out sooner or later. Wins can only give you so much dopamine. Due to my fundamentals, I'm a good Brig and Ana player. While Brig is still a relatively fun character for me, playing Ana is an absolute stress-fest, because of so many responsibilities and potential your character brings. I could quite easily climb up the ranks, but it won't be a fun process for me. So instead, I main LifeWeaver, because I find the character fun and find new ways to be creative with my plays. TL;DR - If you care about improving, pick a character you consider fun and play 'em, you'll get good at them over time, instead you might burn yourself out with a character you don't enjoy.

[@kaitofv]

Tomatoes or Potatoes tho

[@Az-ecim]

Well I have to say some things on this First - why didnt I kill my opponent? Now that question is easy to answer - my aim is dogshit. If you aim good you deal damage if you deal dmg you kill and if you shooting some air you won't kill anything be they healed or not. Something about Mauga. I mean yes he stand and he shoot but he cant simply do this and win game. His dps isnt actually that good and you really need good tracking to kill or oppress. Moreover he is super easy to kill cause his hitbox is huge(its ok he's tank) but his survivability tools are just bad and very easy to counter. Rn he's super liw tier tank probably not in D, hes playable but to get real value from him is tough. If you simply stand and shoot like you said Mauga dies quickly. You have to be super good at positioning and movements management. In this case dont you think mr Awkward that Reinhardt is much more easier tank to get value from? Rn its just walking wall which you cant break in some seconds. His charge and pin is super forgivable you cant miss it. And when you don't ppl die cause its oneshot ability. He can afford just standing and swinging his hammer. Rein is that hero who gain value from just standing and keeping his team shielded so that they may shoot whatever they wont. His ultimate is easy to use and hard to outplay while giving his team ez teamkill if not outplayed. Id say Rein is the easiest why isnt he? Theres one more thing about Widowmaker who's dominating the whole lobby. I agree you should do everything to oppress her yet some Widows are insanely hard to fight. Meaning youre showing yourself before her eyes only to be killed in like 0.4 seconds. Im not joking or exaggerating they just go scope one moment and flick directly to your head. Not to mention theyre almost always pocketed by Mercy so you cant simply kill her or make struggling at all.

Kind of disagree with the notion that 'anyone can climb to a high rank' - people have limitations, it might be hand eye coordination for example, and no matter how much they practice they might not have good enough aim or be able to process information and react fast enough in a match.
