Microflats is one of the only reins that hasnt hard shielded and has had some actually good plays and aggression. Lets keep him around.

Right? I hope I run into him and can Ana for him. Poor guy.

[@atsukana1704]

I think with some work he could get silver, the guy actually has a head on his shoulders and you can tell he is trying to replicate what top players do (even if not executed exactly as they would) like using shatter when the rein drops his shield, pinning the sig, and trying to be aggressive, not to mention all of the wack things that happened with the whole hogs

[@6235river]

the submitter is right when he said he made some stupid mistakes. however he's not the worst rein ever and made some pretty nice plays especially on the first point and it's obvious he's working on honing his prediction skills - not perfect, but had some good-for-bronze fire strike and pin predictions. he seems to fluctuate between having good moments and bad moments, but a lot of those bad moments are just your average bronze player moments. he definitely does need to work on balancing the difference between confidence and cockiness because his good plays do become a problem for his later decision making. i imagine flats is being extra harsh because of the name.

[@morbiuslikeslean4201]

Flats was being mad harsh cause of the name, he expected him to do things that bronzes didn’t even knew existed. And on first point he said he gave up space when he was like 90hp vs 3 when all he did was back up get healing and go back in.

[@6235river]

@@morbiuslikeslean4201 and in situations like that, flats' assessment of whether a person goes in or back up is either "too aggressive: they're feeding" or "not aggressive enough: they're being a baby back bitch". i know this is meant to be a roast but flats IS in the position to offer some tips like the submitter asked, and i think outlining the difference between what makes someone a feeder and what makes someone a coward would be a really good thing for flats to clarify since he comments on it for every rein who submits a vod. :)

[@Siks7Ate9]

I truly believe this guy will get gold in no time with some tips, his gamesense is higher then 90% of the silver tanks bare minimum he plays proactive, yes gets carried away but we all do sometimes playing rein. I rather see my rein do 500 DMG then die then shieldbot and do 0 dmg entire game long and then die. It's easier to tone down the aggression then to learn how to play agressieve. This guy seems to truely understand that as s rein your relying on your team allot, given that's in bronze GL, go make plays yourself. And he did literally first time ever I have seen a bronze let alone silver rein and allot of gold reins clear highground away from a bastion. The point where he knew the sigma was there you also saw him realize this mercy Res him, heal him or fly away. Better kill him first. Surprised flats didn't mention that.

[@6235river]

​@@Siks7Ate9 yeah i was also impressed by him prioritizing the mercy before trying to have a Tank Dick Measuring contest with sigma. foresight like this is regular as the elos get higher and higher, but it's always nice to see someone in bronze who is actually using some sort of elevated strategy. it's a nice change of pace from the usual braindead "pew pew shoot at enemy until they die or i die" strategy... well, unless you're a bronze bastion i suppose. that strategy actually works out for bastions.

[@MoarCowbell69]

I've seen worst Reins in Gold. He is looking up to you. He has some good moments, which he probably learnt from your games. How about a part 2 with constructive criticism? It's like some parts he was trying not to feed. Going back to his healers. It's not like he is gold border at bronze. At least he was aggressive! Feeding? Sure. But it didn't look completely mindless.

Compared to the last bronze Reinhardt you spectated, this Rein was decent for being bronze. Yes he made some mistakes and dumb plays, but also made some pretty decent ones, too. Plus, he wasn’t a complete shield bot nor a complete feeder (he did feed, but not completely). He did try to do both swinging and shielding. The last Reinhardt, N1ghtmare, deserves the ban more than this guy

[@lucascunha5879]

Flats is too critical of these bronze players. Not that fun to watch especially since none of them has said they don't belong in their rank.

[@xReactiionzZ]

He only does that because they always come with their big egos saying they’re hard carrying and their team sucks or self proclaiming themselves as the best rein in their respective ranks, he’s just bringing their egos back to earth, but he’s not really doing it like that, it’s just harsh criticism so they can take it more seriously, exactly like he does with KarQ 🤷🏽‍♂️

I don't think he was so bad. There are much worse reins in silver, gold, plat. At least he had some good moments unlike many other spectated reins. He plays more like gold. Of course, for the gm or top-500 all lower ratings are bronze:). But Flats overreacted for the video purpose and in this case it looked a little bit to much toxic.I don't like the concept ideology of "king and peasants" that Flats is using.Instead of inspiring a fan that doesn't seem so hopeless Flats demolished him to the ground. But anyway it was fun watching. Especially, moira and zen in the end. Thx for the content, King.

Being a tank in bronze is hell. I have a friend who's tank dropped to 600 SR and I tried playing it as a plat tank, but every game is just 50/50 based on if everyone in your team has two hands. It's really insane. This Rein looked like a silver easily and not far from gold in some moments, but climbing isn't so easy.

[@jolteon345]

On top of that, being Rein anywhere before mid gold is hell. Most teams can't support or enable a Rein before then and that's how you end up with the Passive Patricks in gold who hold up shield and don't push past choke.

[@Siks7Ate9]

Microflats I swear does a whole lot more then your average high silver reins or even some gold. He moves around doenst hardshield to then back up, yes he made some pepega plays but don't we all get carried away while playing rein sometimes? I honestly believe this is 100% 1 of the best if not the best bronze reins we have seen and he could even be better then allot of silver ones. He doesn't play passive, he is proactive, he truly seems to know what's going on as well in terms of gamesense where everyone is at etc. Honestly keep this guy around, give him some tips follow him he's gonna be gold in no time no joke he's better then 80% bare minimum of silver reins atm and the remaining 20% is 10% getting carried 10% being proactive won him the game

[@elizabethcabbage9817]

I definitely appreciate most of the comment sections vibes. I think the idea of people paying to get flamed is interesting and those who sign up for it are mentally tough as nails, but I also feel like just because that's the common schtick of the series doesn't mean that has to be every video. Compared to every other bronze rein and I think a silver rein you spectated once (at least that made it to a KZbin video) this person plays rather well for a bronze player. They make some mechanical mistakes like missing, hitting walls, and walking into walls, but I don't think those should be criticized so much, either. I think a lot of us have played video games for 10+ years and forget what it may be like to walk into them without any foreknowledge, or what it's like to walk into a new genre, even. All of the movements are so different from one game to the next, let alone genre, and all that in addition to getting used to a controller or M&K setup. Most of their biggest mistakes decision-making wise were about where they held, who they went for, and when/where to pin. For being a zero star bronze account, that's not all that bad. I can recall in that period of existence being in the same boat, probably worse than them, even. I got the long end of the stick and somehow ended up in gold, but I was plummeting fast until I found your stream and videos and started implementing your techniques and decision making into my games, where I've peaked mid plat on tank, and this is my first FPS game ever. My point in sharing that story is that a lot of these concepts that seem so elementary to you aren't so instinctive for people new to the game, which, barring this person being a smurf, they are. But even of the mistakes they made, the decision making mistakes we normally see in these bronze vods are whether to hard hold shield or hardswing until the fight's over, whether to pin into a bastion that's looking directly at you or hard shield towards him. And they've almost always held on point no matter where it is or what it is. I want to compare this review to the one who got the game because of you and sent a vod of their first game. They made a ton more mistakes than this person, and I mean a TON. They came into the game with only knowledge from a pro, but no experience, almost identical to this person, yet they were praised heavily for not only when what they did worked but for when they made an effort that didn't pan out. Your energy seemed to shift either because this person is bronze or because they took on your name for their account or whatever, but I don't think that justifies this shift in energy. Technically they're not a fresh account but level 71 can be achieved with about 10 hours of game time, and you have to consider the brain lag of trying to take in all of their surroundings when they start playing, plus (at least in my experience) the first ten multiplayer matches I'm basically a walking grave, not having any idea how to strategize in the game yet or what can kill me, being in a respawn simulator situation. All that considered, they're really new to the game. The first nano was bad target priority; a mistake, no doubt. But honestly, what were they even to do with that second nano? Their ana gave it to them when nobody was even around except for the sigma which they tried to walk up to. I don't think that criticism was necessary at all. They've made a lot of attempts to replicate what you've done, and I'm rather disappointed that you didn't give them the same attention for it that you gave the person who was on their first game ever. I also want to touch on your reading their message in discord: They clarified they're German and at least implied that English isn't their first language. It takes zero effort to be a little understanding and not xenophobic. Understanding of English is both a country-of-origin and access-to-education thing and I feel like it's a little insensitive to be so rude about a statement that doesn't make sense to you. This case wasn't so bad but this happens any time someone says something in little or broken English in these submits and it drives me wild.

[@sethescope]

this is an excellent and wonderful comment. it reminded me of the time when I started playing this game. it was also my first fps ever, and it was overwhelming. I've actually been having to take a break due to medical issues that make staring at a screen with flashing lights and colors incredibly painful lol. but when I am able to play a match or two every month or so, it's almost like being new. the game moves so fast, and being a player is so much different than watching streams and videos of games. people forget that this is a hard game. it's a very unique game. even if you come in with fps experience, this game emphasizes teamwork and rewards awareness and strategy rather than pure aim. if you don't even have aim, you're having to learn three main, extremely fundamental skills at the same time. you'll be floundering for a WHILE. not to mention, this was my first mouse and keyboard game, too. it's so hard to get used to mouse and keyboard if all you've ever played is console. it feels like you're using a completely different part of your brain somehow.

This is everything I thought while watching this video. I do think flats has good content and is a great tank, but he always refers to his viewers in a very dismissive tone as “golds” as if it were an offence. He’s a streamer that has been playing this game for more than 6 years and doesn’t really understand that not all of us can do that and have work and a life to attend to, in order to give ourselves that little time we use to play, as a hobby. So playing a game for more than 6 years more than 12 hours a day, can’t be compared nor used like a point of superiority towards the viewers that allow him to take this as a professional career. Yes, I understand this segment is supposed to be roasting and all of that but it’s becoming more and more clear what he thinks of his viewers and the ego that’s been building up through his twitch and KZbin career. I hope he understands these attitudes he’s having towards his fans, cause this guy is literally a fan that wants to be like the person he admires, shouldn’t be part of his itinerary. I never comment on videos but this just was enough for me. Reading your comment made me want to express the same frustration and concern, specially being a non native English speaker. It really annoys me and feels disrespectful making fun of someone just because they don’t perfectly speak a second language, when I’m pretty sure flats doesn’t speak a second nor third language. These type of behaviours really make him seem like an ignorant, egotistical disrespectful person who doesn’t really appreciate his viewers, whom without them he would not be where he is right now. I’m not as polite as you are, and I’m very disappointed in flats. Seems like for him, someone carrying his name out of pure admiration, disgusts him. And that disgusts me. I do really hope he changes or reconsiders the repercussions attitudes like this could cause him before it’s too late.

[@elizabethcabbage9817]

​@@julianarincon2625 I definitely believe that it's gotten progressively worse and it certainly does seem like an ego thing. I want to express complete support with someone expressing more outrage than I did; While these things are upsetting to me, English is my native language, so I don't have the experience of someone whose native language isn't English to be personally affected by it. I also don't mean to imply that you need my support in it, I simply feel that there's a lot of gaslighting passed around from privileged people towards those who are not, insomuch that politeness is valued over experience, and I want to express that I value your experience on this subject much more than any perceived amicability.

I mean he's only 4000 SR off of being actual Flats, It's not THAT far off. :'D

[@seamuss3203]

I cant take this dude seriously when he says athleticism. Its awareness, has nothing to do with being athletic. Like not even a little.

[@ssmvalentinogaming9957]

I know right i never realised athletics mean I'm good at games? I should of practiced gymnastics so i can game better

[@DPdestructi0n]

And also not sure this is the place to be for advice on athleticism in general…

[@atsukana1704]

Seems like the local consensus is that this guy has been one of the better bronzes we have seen overall

[@Pandastuck]

not the moira standing still in a corner strat. she's too powerful to be contained now

[@polarisqwq]

The Zen not seeing the Moira was honestly the icing on the cake for this match.

[@xavierluntungan7696]

I just climbed out of bronze. As a bronze tank you either get all the heals and no-one else gets any. Or they only are able to heal in downtime

[@mariosouza4994]

i was hard stuck in bronze for a long time before now making it to high gold, honestly I understand his gameplay when you play against people who don't usually punish what you do your playstyle gets really impulsive (pinning everywhere kissing the other rein)

[@TappadaraWest]

Could be a Kid that looks up to you , He's not the Best Reinhardt that we all could see . I main Reinhardt too and I'm a Mom the kid's got a lot to learn . Don't be too Harsh , some of us don't play at Masters level and the Damn struggle is real. It takes time and mistakes to learn this kid has Potential !

[@B_bang22]

3:24 Im not even mad here cause he got hoed. The zen was off the map but he somehow made it back on I don't think it was a bad play

[@malinamodrzew9177]

Don't ban him Flats!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!! Pls let the guy be

[@Kirkmattrick99]

When people walk out of spawn and you’re like “get off the phone!” I’m like I do that when I’m taking a bong rip while re spawning😂

[@dittleflower8858]

I like Microflats, he’s kinda adorable in a way.

[@mahoganybookshelf3284]

I love seeing 12 ults up at once. They’re just saving them for the PERFECT last point fight.

[@crazyrussianman2128]

I love that the Moira knows that bronze players are blind. Literally did the old "they only see motion, stand still and the trex won't see me"

[@vivid8979]

That Moira is role-playing Drax.. But tbh it's the most interesting part of the Vod.

[@e-grill19]

Honestly he’s not that bad. His mistakes are fixable... compared to some others we seen on the channel he actually looks good

[@donavonmcdowell8871]

So glad this series has made a mini comeback :)

[@JQN_d._.b]

I think flats went through 5 stages of grief 3 times over 20 minutes of gameplay

[@CaptainLeDoosh]

That part with Zen not noticing Moira is a thing that happens VERY OFTEN in diamond only it’s a hit scan My games are usually I get 4 picks, team dies to Zen and mercy lol Believe it or not teams are more coordinated in bronze and silver :(

[@zrosix2240]

18:10 he got away with feeding and then died when he shouldn’t have died LOL

[@DPdestructi0n]

Say what you want about overwatch skill, but I know which flats id rather be friends with out of these two. Microflats can get a beer any day, that other crusty dork can kick rocks.

[@q9968]

That moira must have been thinking "I'm dead, i'm dead i'm dea-they don't se-SHIT" And that zen...he clearly wasn't paying enough attention, but you can see the moment when he realizes there's a moira...and then an entire second realization..."She's red. She's not one of mine" A beautiful moment of Bronze in the wilderness.

[@crystlepresson3760]

The Zen doing a double take and realizing that the Moira was there is a mood; I'd honestly do the same as the Zen. XD

[@habo249]

I can honestly see him climbing to gold

[@Destiny-pf6jv]

That shit with Zen and Moira at the end fucking KILLED ME DUDE so fucking funny 😂😂😂

[@jarjarkinks1362]

Don’t ban, instead, take this opportunity to coach and guide them, making them truly a microflats, your adopted child

[@rickygamingproductions]

That Zen has been destroying him for the whole game

[@thatdudewithabeard3341]

I swear flats takes himself wayyyy too seriously sometimes.

[@floandw]

Keep him, he absolutly got potential!

[@rejected_burrito1723]

AHHAAHA THE MOIRA AND ZEN AT THE END MADE MY DAY XDDD

[@burkhardt7694]

Ok microflats reminds me of a friend I know that is also stuck in bronze because of the same shit I see in this video. Also your advice about not using junkrat on first point volskayia helped me get out of bronze and almost gold

[@DraterTTV]

TL:DR Flashes of brilliance followed by severe incompetence.

[@soumyosubhromukhopadhyay9727]

Omg thst zen and moira in the end Holy shit lol, I fell off my chair watching

[@bosshawga2256]

The zen and Moira duel had me dying

[@spacerydah3534]

pov this guy looked up to flats and wanted to be like him but dosent have the money to change his name

[@Dan-sv3kz]

what pros dont understand is that...bronze qp is a whole different game. Sometimes plays or choices like this playstyle "makes sense" cause in bronze the combination of players and teamplays really can get frustrating....just makes you play this way. I'm a support player btw so seeing this tank play like this...typical bronze scene and he s ok

[@flinthart]

zen POV would be fun 💀 p.s. don't ban him. free content

[@teddybear6949]

Who cares if he has your name people will know who you are just by the sound of your voice and at least he's trying to become better like give the dude a break

[@shadowsneak100]

That choke is the bronze meta. I've seen it in silver too. No one ever wants to play back though so I end up having to play there u_u' Also I wish my supports would jam their guns up my behind when I go stupid aggressive on Rein lmao.

[@lemonzest_]

That choke gets used in diamond too🤕

[@Curt22598]

I think he did pretty good I say we don’t ban him 💪🏾

[@niteblooded]

I like how the Zen only noticed the Moira because for some reason he decided to look at the wall.

[@tesseract4711]

That rein literally one frame blocked that shatter what a chadhardt

[@purpleepicicon]

This makes me glad I got my tank's SR out of bronze. Teammates like that.

[@ThahnG413]

enemies like that to though, I mean it's your fault you got placed in bronze fs

[@purpleepicicon]

@@ThahnG413 I got placed in bronze back when comp first started, before I made an effort to learn how to play better rather than thinking I could just get better with more practice. Not knowing back then I was only getting good at bad habits.

[@andrewwohlfart3327]

12:48 don't reward points for the other teams stupidity but you have to award points for punishing said stupidity. You gotta remember, they're bronze so they're gonna learn at a bronze standard. It's not like they can learn at a plat pace because they aren't there. They have a base to work from. At least they'll swing on the other team unlike some of the other shield happy tanks we've seen. They made dumb mistakes but it's fixable stuff really. At least they had some good chase downs, pins and shatters.
