Educational Unranked To GM BRIGITTE (91% Winrate)

One time I met Awkward in person, I was ordering a caramel latte in a small coffee shop, he had just ordered a room temperature water. I asked if I could get a selfie because I was a big fan, he said sure. He then proceeded to put me in a headlock while turning to the other customers. "See what I'm doing guys?" he asked "Isolate a target and then damage, damage, damage!" as he struck me in the head with multiple powerful blows. Just before I lost consciousness I heard him say "Look, you see how easy that was?". . .overall REALLY nice guy IRL.

I'm playing Brig since many seasons, always stuck in plat. I always thought I need to be close to my other support to help them out and I often was way too far away from the fight to inspire consistently or do any damage. Then I would overcompensate by chasing targets for too long until they ran to a health pack or teammate and killed me.

[@moleedaboi]

With brig you're literally forced to damage because that's where most of her healing comes from. So there's no excuse for not doing damage.

I know this is late but thanks for commenting this. I went from bronze 4 to now plat 5 in the past 2 weeks from really focusing on achieving these stats. I average 60% whipshot accuracy and around 40% inspire uptime. In certain games my inspire drops to 29 or lower and I then know I’m doing bad. Those goals of 50 and 35 are really helpful.

9:22 totally agree. Also, idk how ppl could think having a shield is bad against snipers. Just living on brig gives tremendous value and her shield allows her to protect herself, another teammate , and ping the snipers. I also love distracting a widow with brig. If she has to shoot my shield 3x then that’s 3 shots that didn’t hit my teammates.

[@shoulderoforion115]

Awkward single handedly made me better at video games in general. Once you understand the fundamentals, you can break down many things to their most basic forms. With brig the best tip he gave was for the feeding doomfist in one of his first games. Objectively the tank is feeding, but he created some opportunities while he fed. This is really what I've noticed in Overwatch 2, and now many games. Your "weaknesses" can be a wonderful distraction for creating real value. Brigs great for that because she already gets a lot of value from distractions through inspire. Watching Awkward also Play Against Rein, Pharmercy, Mei is a great example of this. Youre only countered if you only make plays those characters counter, so dont make those plays until you can snowball the fight anyways.

Haven't watched yet. So I'm gonna try and come up with an NPC excuse for him winning. He's clearly got better game sense, he knows all the characters and how they work and what they do best. It's seems like a simple strategy but really its just him being super aggressive and knowing when to engage and when to disengage. With that out of the way, glad to see another unranked to gm.

Thank you for helping me change my mindset, its made my games much more fun.

[@HawtLS]

I mean all of those things are true though. His advice and playstyle is extremely informative, and helpful for any rank, but watching these videos isn't magically going to make you better. For most, it'll likely make them feed for a few games as they accidentally overextend by trying to play more aggressive but failing because they don't realize that ana can sleep them, or rein can out duel them, or 1,000 other reasons that you can only learn from playing the game. I'm still very glad he makes these, because supports especially don't play nearly aggressive enough in almost every game I play in. Heck, the reason why Lifeweaver is so bad is because he's the only character in the game practically incapable of going aggressive, outside of mercy, who can damage boost an aggressor instead.

This is by far my favorite Awkward U2GM because it honestly shows that it's mostly game sense that is required to climb not mechanical ability. With that said, there's one thing in here that he does but doesn't necessarily explain that's very important about Brig. She's amazing at claiming, keeping, and denying space. I'm not saying to frontline with her because at higher ranks this will get you repeatedly killed. But space that's been left open or cleared she can quickly claim and keep. It's an invaluable trait of her design that is often overlooked.

His weapon is the worst in the game by far, even worse than baby dva pistol. And since his healing requires pre-healing and set up, you can't even really switch to the weapon to attempt to use it. He can't play aggressive and carry games. His average damage per game is comparable to mercy, which is sad since most mercy literally never use their gun

hey could you make a video about lucio tips? or even unranked to gm .i’m wondering how to control this character well,and i think he is the most hard character to play in support heroes cause he is really needs the game sense. i always dont know what to do when playing lucio.

[@HawtLS]

I'm only mid masters, but here are some general tips for you: 1. The main appeal of Lucio is his speed boost. You should be shooting for 60-70% speed boost usage; if you're healbotting as lucio, you might as well play moira or bap. When your team has an advantage (a pick, enemy tank low, in general enemy team backing up, isolated target, etc.), speed amp towards them. Heal amp should primarily be used in emergencies, or to get a lot of ult charge on multiple weak teammates. 2. Since your supportive abilities are all auras, you should be CONSTANTLY shooting. Practicing aiming while jumping between walls is a must. Try to hit the practice bots while playing the floor is lava in training mode. Aim for the head even more than on other heroes, as it makes his damage scary when you can land 3 or 4 headshots. 3. Your boop is extremely low cooldown, helps line up your primary fire shots, and is an annoyance for characters that need to close gap. Prioritize reapers, reins, or anyone else trying to get in your backline. It's a very versatile ability that is spam friendly. Don't forget with your mobility you can also boop enemies out of position towards your team

Don’t you need line of sight to teammates for inspire to proc on them? Why does he consistently go out of his way to get inspire up when no teammates are in LoS to him. It provides no benefit except for him putting himself at risk.

[@kbroomall]

I watched this for 1 hour, and now I DESTROY as Brig. I never even played her before. INCREDIBLE! 1st day I had multiple POGs!

[@Surkimus]

I know you didn’t have such a good time with mercy unranked to gm in OW1, but I’d love you to give it another shot with the new OW2 mercy kit

[@catgirlow]

don’t think he’ll enjoy it regardless

[@brock1787]

How does Inspire work? Is it like a timed on/off thing, when you hit someone it turns on for X seconds then turns off. Or does it build with how much damage you do?

[@halley1888]

I love your videos, thank you for all the hard work that goes into them! I know you did a Mercy UR to GM for OW1, but do you have plans to do another? She has the least carry potential so I'd be really interested in hearing your tips and playstyle

[@BajFult]

Honestly it would probably be “DAMAGE boost, DAMAGE boost, DAMAGE boost” 😂 Or use her pistol all the time because the bullets are huge. Non mercy players that use her pistol usually rack up kills - she just attracts the kind of player that wanna heal/util rather than get kills. Dafran on Mercy would get 5k POTG on his ults

[@SpecsNStats]

I know you said that Brig wasnt a character that you wanted to do, because the OW1 video you made had low views, but as one of the few that did watch that first one, thanks for making another :) Dont even play OW anymore, but your approach to the game can be applied to so many real-life facets that it motivates me to work harder and strive for better. Keep doing you, my friend

[@OneBrokeBloke]

Wish inspire was more clear. It has huge fking range and no visual clue. Not even a timer to see when its on

[@legendarydragoon1462]

Agreed, Brig is lacking a few really important quality of life options like the ability to have a visual indicator you have inspire proc. Another, imo is to have the health pack not target full health allies. Wasting packs is the most annoying part of playing Brig by far

Awkward uploads at 2:22 in the morning? Guess I’m not going to bed tonight.

[@doukenkai5099]

Brig is so fun. I definitely dont bash away enough with her though so that part is helpful! Maybe I didn't watch enough but a good breakdown of best ways to use her ult would be helpful. I feel like she has one of the least understood ults in the game. Theres a lot of small things going on. Speed boost, armor generation for everyone in range, and a stunning shield bash. Theres a lot of good situations for popping that and the "just use it dont hold on to it" approach is true but personally I think using it shortly after engaging is best. Get a couple hits in, take a couole hits to get the enemy confident, then pop youre ult to turn the tavles when its too late for then to run.

[@Martok2309]

Allies get overhealth not armour. Good situations are when a fight stalls too long and you need something to let your team hold W and get a pick. As well as that, her stun can cancel some ults. If you have a quick reaction time you can pop it to cancel an enemy ult (reaper, cassidy, hanzo, lucio, moira, etc.) some being easier than others

Perpetual gold to GM1 as zen 1 trick thanks to this guys tips. Just try it guys.

[@Silvermmic]

Been playing 40 hours of comp and been stuck plat 5 for the longest time watched this and now im diamond 5 after 1 day of playing with brig 75% winrate thank you for this video❤️

[@omarsharifi2587]

Can you do unranked to top 500? I feel like getting to gm on ow2 is easier than ow1. So top 500 is the true challenge.

[@raciawelli]

I went from Bronze 4 to Gold 4 in 3 months, with a 70% win rate since I started implementing the tips in this video! Thanks to you!

[@TheRusty]

I tried and deranked hard. Turns out that unlike in Awkward's videos, the enemy team focuses me instantly and hard. No matter my position ing, They see Brig, they force a kill on Brig. I spend more time in spawn than playing Brig. I hold shield>? Contribute nothing. I whipshot> Sojourn or Widow or hanzo or Hog instantly erase me. I try to flail? Same thing. Bash to escape? Nope, junkrat combo or Rammatra E or literally everyone shooting at the back of my head

[@raciawelli]

@@TheRusty try to notice who kills you the most in some game and watch the game from his perspective. This method help me a lot, i notice why im the easy target for my opponents and learn how to avoid such situations.

[@su9cp]

Can u do an unranked gm with doomfist or wrecking ball?

[@m8m810]

They're too high skill ceiling for him to just hop on and stream with, he would have to practice first. But i'm sure he could do it

[@mustachinhogrosso3535]

​@@m8m810 He obviously practices with all the characters before making these videos.

[@valfader]

Very educational and not at all the epitome of toxicity when it comes to smurfing. Streamers are the true cancer of gaming.

[@Awkward2]

If you sat and watch the video to learn instead of crying you could possibly rank up from being average at best.

[@valfader]

Massive cope. You could teach people without smurfing. Smurfing actively destroys the lower ELOs and makes the experience for everyone else worse.

[@loki7701]

@@valfadermaybe watch the video where he talked about how difficult it is to do educational content in t500? Sounds like you’re the one coping here.

There are so many other ow2 youtuber that made unranked to gm with moira you can just search it up.

at 1:23:14 you can just jump shield bash from the corner of the top step to get on top of the building, in case any other brig players weren’t aware 🤗

[@EnzoTheBaker]

This looks way too stressful even at lower ELOs. Kudos to him for doing this and showing it can be done but damn it looks really _not_ fun.

Support is a different playstyle that some people really like, and most people can only play. IE Mercy mains.
