Why this GOLD TANK got stuck in a game for 40 MINUTES! | Spectating Overwatch 2

[@Princ3ssCai]

Their Zarya was actually really good, they played corners, good ability usage. I feel like they played a little bit of mystery heroes but if they stuck to Zarya that whole game they might’ve been fine 😅

There's a reason people stay on cart, they learned the hard way in those ranks. The amount of times i'm the one pushing cart as support while the rest goes ahead and have the balls to ask for heals is insane

[@ReedoTV]

Write down 5 things you want to improve on. Make them semi-specific. E.g. shield management, trigger discipline, awareness of where your team are, reloading behind cover, etc. As you load into each match, pick one thing off the list and focus on that all game. Keep reminding yourself of the goal every time you die or between team fights so you don't go into autopilot mode.

[@HarbingersBuddy]

Back in OW1 during the double shield meta I had a 16 to 15 game on this map. This brought back the memories.

[@essay_sparkles]

I-.... is this guy okay? Even Emongg started getting tilted by them 😭

[@undefined69695]

Seriously how is this guy gold, very typical bronze gameplay.

[@FlyXcur]

Unfortunately in the lower ranks tank is a role that can get carried very easily by good support players. This guy probably has been able to survive and do things for so long because of the supports keeping him up. From what i can see its not until Diamond where a tank truly has to start pulling their weight to get things done.

This looks a lot like the enemy Echo and possibly Zen are holding the lobby hostage. They went in and murdered but as soon as the timer went low for the enemy team they just left the point completely and let their team die 3v5

[@aricmihal9965]

Also, they guy who played the zarya wasnt the same guy from the rest of the game. Definitely a big brother moment.

[@BlinkoutIRL]

In fighting games when someone is just attacking and not blocking. Usually good players that can actually win if they knew how to deffend but just attack without blocking. We say, this person did not pay $60 to block. This guy didn't unlock Ramatra to not press his cooldowns.

[@ReiraKurenai]

My top tip for this person is to stop tunnel visioning the fliers (Echo/Pharah/Mercy). As a tank, they are not your priority unless you are mitigating damage (like shielding a Pharah ult). If your DPS cannot handle them, switch to DVA. She can deny them damage and fly into their faces.

[@Dandevan]

only 6 minutes in and the worst defensive hold I've seen is over, how does this go 40 minutes..

[@Dandevan]

this is so so painful....

[@wisepi8806]

Maybe the Zen and Echo wanted to go even lower in the ladder, but I'm happy at least they give the other team the win.

[@nemebliss]

One day I need emongg to wear a green shirt for the green screen 😂 Edit: I'm not convinced the Zen and Echo are gold. Not with those flanks, Zen throwing away his ult just to stay alive while being way behind the enemy team and both of them getting away with everything. I'm pretty sure they're just trolling lower level players

[@Gamespectives]

Damn. All that and c9, i was excited to see 12-12 draw.

[@MarcusSinlak]

That's why I have such a bad habit of being on cart. There's like no communication and even though it's not every game, I have had a good amount where it's just abandoned as soon as I leave it.

[@icerifle7400]

38:00 Great Reaper ragdoll XD

[@Senor_Fast]

One thing I see way to often is people using ults when for a fact they're gonna die. Especially in a 1v5 and they use it for no reason as if that was ever going to do something.

[@icycloud6823]

Don't worry about the flanking zen/echo as rein. In fact, except for maybe dva or winston, I don't think it's any of the tanks jobs to deal with those characters flanking. He wasted so much time just looking at an echo or zen in the backline like "Hello echo, would you politely leave my backline?" I mean... you aren't going to be able to do crap about a flanking echo. If they are out in narnia in your backline just completely ignore them. Your team can play around them. Once they finally try to get back into the fight, that is when you can maybe do something. But even then... it's more on your backline to deal with them. Especially a flanking zen like that. It's basically a free pick for any dps. I mean, a dps is happy to see a zen alone in the backline, but a zen alone in your own backline? A dps should be ecstatic to see it lol. Free kill! Don't waste your time going for them as rein!

[@manh-haimuller6027]

36:43 This is freaking why VC is important!!! If someone needs to stay cart pls tell your team you are leaving Cart and someone has to switch!!!

[@sharser]

That last push wasn’t even his fault, rip that push

[@Gamespectives]

Man is playing mystery heroes. Played every tank except ball, orisa and doom in whole game. Basically 80% of tank roster

[@matrimort]

if you pass by here, hi shift! emongg gave you plenty of advice already but id like to give you my 50 cents on it as well, hope it helps, even if just a little bit :) about the flankers situation, you did get way too distracted, but big respect for looking behind you trying to protect your mates from them! the thing is, with insistent flankers like the ones you had, I find that at least on my games eventually you need to ignore them if they're not getting A Lot of value against you because at that point the enemy teams benefits from your constant panic. most of the time just pinging them already does the job (tho as a sup main i'm very aware a lot of people ignore pings lmao) secondly, i reaaaally think you can benefit from forcing yourself to play a smaller roster, ate least for now! your zarya was really good in comparison to the other heroes you picked, and like emongg said, you can definitely benefit from applying that playstyle to other heroes. in this vod your dva gameplay was far from great, but I really think she could be a good second choice for you. you can treat her defense matrix as a zarya bubble, and i think her mobility can really help your indecisiveness in the long term; you can move around a lot around the map, on and off high ground etc and even if you position yourself poorly, there's a relatively low penalty because of the fast cooldown on the boosters. the more you start playing around with different hold spots around the maps, or really just different ways to make space for you and your team, the easier decision making is going to be for you, i promise after a while it becomes natural! dva is very forgiving with some bad plays as well because if you have ult, overextend and get demeched, you can ult to try and zone out the enemy team lol overall, you definitely have the potential the improve, don't beat yourself too much for it, we all have our bad gaming days, maps we're bad at, heroes that we can't quite get to work... it happens! hope we get to hear from you again, good luck! d=(^o^)=b

So when I changed Heros I went 5-9 and deranked to silver 4. And then I just went 5-13 to now get to where I am which is now by I’m in bronze 2.

[@buddha508]

keep going ram. u can be a specialty tank and climb wit one guy

[@Peanuggie]

​@@buddha508That's not great advice imo. If you're hoping to be a really good tank player, you need to know when to, and when not to, play your character. That's obvious advice for every role but it specifically matters the most for tank. If you just play Ram into your counters on top of poor mechanics then you're just throwing.

[@josewolf9884]

Agree with specializing in one Tank. Ram is a good pic to start. As a tank always be conscious on your support lineup and how many resources you need in order to stay alive (it's not the same the ammount of healing a rein needs and a sigma needs for example). Ram has the advantage of being able to brawl agrresively or poke strategically according to the ammount of support you have. Once you're confident on your Ram play you can add another tank to your repertoire.

If you went 3-3 then there would have been two more rounds. 1 minute each (due to OT previous rounds). The first team must not have fully captured the point. Probably did not even get a tick. Second team did not manage it either, therefore it was a draw. I believe that’s how it works.

This person HATES the flying characters. If I had to guess they have probably been scorned one too many times by no one else on their team taking down pharahs and echos (which to an extent is fair because if you have been in a game with a pharah that goes unchecked it is PAIN) so they feel like they NEED to focus them above all else even when it is not possible to hit them. Ironically ramattra could have been a decent pick if they would vortex the pharah/echo and mercy then pummel them instead of just popping nemesis form and punching the sky 5 times before getting rolled.

[@NightBlade117]

I can see this guy is really trying to play the tank counter game most of the time rather than trying to counter the enemy team as a whole. Countering is okay if you have good knowledge of how to use the whole pool of tanks. But simply picking a tank based on what tank the enemy has will not work sometimes if the rest of the enemy team still works against your tank.

[@titusmanlius3933]

How this game can be gold ? Even in bronze (my elo) people would have punish that echo and zenyatta duo flank 2vs5 all the time. If our tank player would have a team to stay 5 on payload/objective, the enemy team would never be able to make this game last 40min. Did this game was played in EU or US servers ? I ask because the gameplay between those two region seems very different.

[@RA-ly2yp]

Ooooo, whats different between EU and US?

[@titusmanlius3933]

from what i see between us stream and europe stream, europe players play more like aram so game looks more as 1vs9 than 5vs5 and games never last more than 25 min. Games are more one sided with 1 team crushing the other one@@RA-ly2yp
