How I climb so fast in Overwatch - Learn DPS with Me!

You could make this a weekly series where you vod review your dps games of the week, You could help teach people as you learn.

[@FlippingMiner]

Something I learned as Echo was to deselect “toggle flight” in the settings for her so you can use it sort of as a like superjump. It’s really useful when leaving spawn and such since it’s faster than just flying

Escaping as well

[@rawkhawk414]

I like to think of Copy similar to how you described. For me I'd describe it as a tempo ult: this includes using it for an extra life, or for outlasting enemy resources. Another tip for Echo is getting to know which heroes build their ult fastest. D.va is a really good hero to copy in general. Bomb builds incredibly fast, and I regularly remech on people as Echo. Baby Dva Echo builds mech in split seconds lol. The next fastest ult charger is Rein. You can build 2 Shatters or Bombs with these heros. It's hard to build ult during copy as Zarya and Sigma. Still hard as Hog and Queen, but as they can self-heal and have good burst damage up close they have an easier time--you're generally copying them for their base kit. I'd say Zarya is not usually great to copy because of her charge mechanic. Ram seems good but the ult ends when copy does (however Ram will also give you like 2 extra health bars if used well). Orisa gets value even if you lose copy as you hit Q, they'll still get sucked toward the center. This shortlist of heroes are generally good to copy purely for consideration of an ult (not considering other reasons to Copy): Tracer, Sombra, Ball, Doom, Hanzo, Symmetra, Mei, Ana. The rest of the DPS are kind of situational and you'll want to assess your own skill with them, your team's comp, and their range. Remember heroes that heal and damage build extra ult charge and can situationally outpace other cheaper ult costs despite having relatively more expensive ults: Mei, Soldier, Ana, Reaper, Hog, Queen. Moira and Brig also fall under this category. They have the most expensive ults in the game. But they can build them just fine if you copy them at a good time to cleave with both damage and heals.

[@saltinecracker6629]

i think this a great idea, i feel like i have been to lost in the sauce in the support role atm, i have been thinking about switching to dps for some time to refresh but i dont rly know who i would seriously wanna play either. i think it would dope if u had a series, maybe it would helpful if u had the heroes you want to master picked, and some goals and plans for each, so u can structure a series around that.

[@Memo-yh4nc]

As an Echo main, I’ve been struggling with who to two trick Echo with too. I’ve rotated between Genji, Sombra, and Tracer because I just like the dive heroes more than the others but I’ve never known if they’re actually good complements to Echo. But I also don’t want to play someone I find boring like Torb or Ashe either.

[@maragazh9993]

Symmetra has very good coverage, she's "ok, i guess" in every situation

[@zacharyjackson1829]

for me shes the "oh great they have a Sym, time to stop having fun i guess" pick

[@Lazyy97]

the enemy Pharmercy's honest reaction :

[@117Captain]

So excited for this training arc

[@RhinoKami]

i just hit gm5 on doom, and some games i blame my dps, so i started dps to get a better understanding on the role so i can play around them better, right now im only plat1, but hopefully these vidoes help me

[@Omaryllo]

Recaps on what you learn along the way!!! That's what I want to see! Keep up the good work!!

[@keelanruffner5440]

I used this method back in season 2 with ball and when he became meta the following season I jumped from plat 4 to gm 4. I don’t care what role I climb in so instead of picking 3 in a role I instead one-trick one hero per role. If I successfully guess one hero that would be meta the next season then I focus more time to climbing in that role. This wouldn’t work for Eskay because she is trying to climb in specifically dps but it works very well.

[@RiderOfKarma]

I’m an ow1 tank main who recently switched to dps. I went with Echo/Sojo, but had to then also add Hanzo to complete the O tripswitch, ofc.

[@eYeCeD7]

Watching others play echo feels like shes so shifty and hard to hit. When i play echo i feel like im in quicksand and get instakilled.

[@merxno8845]

the way u literally improved almost instantly

[@chloe5886]

Personally I’m doing Sombra, Echo, Reaper. These are the characters I find most fun and what I wanna get good at the game with.

[@kugizuchi777]

i dont normally comment, but this is an interesting series idea and im down to watch every episode of it! personally, for dps im playing mei, sombra and tracer/echo (not sure on that third one LOL). i think im more of a dva/ana main honestly haha

[@strxwb3rrynat]

i love playing echo, and i never know who to swtich to if im getting rolled. my go to is genji, but soj does seem pretty good also mei. this video has given me much to think abt! excited to learn dps alongside eskay in these videos :)

[@nanobotkemo]

As a genji one trick idk if I'd recommend swapping off echo to genji as he's pretty easily countered and you have to change your play style depending on the counters, another good option is a mobile hitscan, like soldier, ashe, and if you need to spam hanzo and junk are always good. The important thing with genji is timing especially if they have an anti dive backline like a brig. So up to you just play and hopefully have fun :)

[@mochii_wrld]

Have you tried the setting for echo that makes her shift “hold for flight”? If you just press it, the initial boost is really fast. It’s like an Omni direction version of pharah’s shift

[@andrewforsythe4929]

in case anyone doesnt know, this is still possible on the default mode, you just have to double-tap it and it can be kind of easy to mess up the timing. i play with the double-tapping just bc im used to it, but yeah the initial speed boost on echos flight is very important and maybe actually the best part of her mobility.

[@mochii_wrld]

yeah the double tapping works too but just the initial press is much faster. and you can do some pretty crazy stuff like bonking your head on a doorway, b hopping, and stuff of that nature. but its all just a preference

[@TomMorello725]

Your voice and the music... The gameplay makes OW2 look much less stressful XD

[@omkarbhale442]

You should really really make content about how you improove and learn. Like this video! Keep it up. Not just best game of day,but things we can get out of. I want to know how you learn new and hard things fast

[@bakurasensei]

I would sell my first born child to obtain that Echo skin

[@BTwitchy]

Characters I like to copy for quick ults are Rein, JQ, Tracer, Reaper, Mei, Bastion and Illiari

[@fudodgaming]

I'm a support main and i was looking for 3 heros for each role. As DPS i decided to learn Sombra, Mei and Echo.

[@SadMach1n3]

The get out of jail free ult is a good idea but also if you’re not too at risk of dying you can copy something with high dps to get psycho fast charge or a champ with like mei survivability

[@jet_prince8270]

I like your echo gameplay, I love watching people play echo :3

[@DasOmen02]

Dps is definitely my worst role. On tank and support I'm diamond, but on dps I fit comfortably in silver, which is crazy. I'm assuming my movement is garbanzo beans, and my aim could probably use a bit of work as well- I'm gonna do the same challenge, though I'm gonna go with Genji and Cass :3 dunno if I'll do a third Any wisdom your able to give while you do this series would be greatly appreciated :DD

[@orionlucas3272]

Copy for abilities can be good. Also, echo is nice because she can do good against close range heroes by poking from the sky and good against ranged heroes because of her mobility

[@justacursedlego286]

truly a youtube subtitle of all times

[@p4rziv4l4]

I love echo too. She was my first when I started. I started late

[@unofficialclown2153]

i dont know if this has been said or will be read, but my homies and i don't suggest copying tank due to the smaller hp pool with the bigger hitbox. that's just a suggestion tho

[@supmynameisunknown]

i like this series

[@_Travey]

I love echo but I feel like my healers hate it 😂 unless they are mercy 🤷‍♀️ And whenever I play echo I have to be ON, there’s is no chill, or I can play soldier and hang back and “relax”

[@nickouimet3261]

Love the video!!🔥🔥🔥🦅💕

[@MrSonictheOtter]

SVB has been doing a cool series where he one tricks a hero for a week and see what he learns from that. Maybe you can do something similar but with 3 heroes instead?

[@alg7496]

Echo is a good pick, for the other two I'd say sym (like a lot did but she's just really good again a lot), and either mei or sojourn?

[@sera48g]

Ik this isn't about me but I'm happy that all of the of the mentioned heroes are ones I like playing ^^

[@damaradayton5551]

Sojourn

[@sorasarielcl]

Considering that I am going Junkrat Torbjorn and possibly Sombra, this is gonna suck hard with Pharmercies.

[@ToxicRushed]

Instead of posting your best game on this journey it would be cool if you posted the game where you learned something really important and showed an example of it. Your content has helped me grind and better understand overwatch especially since I only recently started playing it.

[@project_wolf_x]

So something that'll give you a bit more movement on echo is turn on hold to fly then you can quick fly in and out

[@Xlsior_OWo]

hewo, you are awesome eskay, you helped me realize i’m enby :3

[@DevaWay]

I see you dont use the flight cancel tech almost like at all. Do you think its detrimental? O like using it to get my cooldown back faster, so I changed flight to hold instead of toggle and I normally only hold when fighting flying heroes

[@Zuko_Kuko]

I trust Eskay to teach me how to be a dps

[@praisedsquishy]

A weekly vod review of one of your worst games would be cool

[@CamSpaghett]

Honestly this is a nice approach to learning content. I stopped playing comp bc of the toxicity. Idk if it’s any different on pc but on console it’s very unhinged. And as a genji main. I get a lot of it. After I hit gm5 on tank and dps I stopped. But I do like trying to improve

[@lunaeatsmoons]

Eskay has a rlly cute laugh :3

[@hone-pq7pp]

i only play genji and soldier but i feel like these heroes dont have that much carry potential. they only work if my tank plays right. at least it feels like that and it is annoying am i wrong on this?

[@xlegiofalco]

SOPRRYU ABOUT THE WALL

[@seanchristoferlont4434]

Great idea for a series! And tri-tricking to cover all dps bases is smrt as. Dafrans to Top 500 all heroes series was really great to follow, maybe you can glean some insight on structure from those… Hope you make a series on Ultimate DPS tritrick Eskay

[@MrProdigy810]

Damn. Blocked the ult with wall and didn’t even say sorry. Hit ‘em with the Soppryu instead

[@ilylyssna]

Do you have flight toggle on for echo? It just seems really uncomfy to smack shift every time to cancel ik its personal pref but idk if u can do that like super jump when u hit shift once, anyways cheers mate

[@Kavukamari]

kind of crazy how a little green cat can do all of tbis

[@howlwhite]

How do you change the aiming reticle?

[@xTurtlePower.]

I was so good at Echo towards the end of ow1 but idk wat they did to her now, I suck ass w echo now on ow2 and rarely works for me now

[@channingbloom7125]

My 3 are soldier, junkrat, and widowmaker. Though if I’m feeling frisky I’ll go sombra.

[@nanobotkemo]

You playing genji will still be better than my genji and I one trick him. Genji is very fun to play.

[@thomaskopv2366]

yo, why is this grandpa so good at OW? (jk, love your content)

[@dzorifffauzan9686]

My 3 mains are cassidy echo and genji but im terrible on all of them. I just play for fun

[@why_m9]

Echo, Sym and Ashe would be my 3. Dive, brawl and poke

[@PleasedPigeon39]

My personal 3 pick is Ash, Tracer, Mei. Although if I’m drinking or High I go reaper because he’s easy

[@Pedrothek1ng]

more vids like this

[@TimothySoEvil]

Learn Echo Mei Soj and probably ashe/cass easiest way to climb just master those 4 and EZ gm1 thats how i did it and dps is my off role (you can also substitute Soldier for any of those Hitscan characters but only if your really confident in your soldier)

Echo/pharah, mei/reaper, sojourn/soldier

[@gamist8166]

Echo pretty dive/poke so probs want a brawl hero

[@saltinecracker6629]

maybe u need to copy mei earlier so u have chance earlier in the fight to build ur ult

[@shadatoosaucy3445]

Got recommended this video on youtube and feel like the title was kind of a bait....? Feelsbad

[@Rambowjo2]

I was waiting for you to pick Mei, until I saw the video title said "Me!" and not "Mei"...

[@mangoisfun]

1st ig lmao does anyone know the outro song for vulture

[@JustATypicalGinger]

Aight idk what this "owl playas" creds are (what do nocturnal birds know about fragging out and/or popping off smh my head) Imma let ya finish but Echo x Hanzo is the ultimate two trick to climb to the very highest of ranks (and I would know I peaked Masters 2 all by myself, no biggie). Hanzo and Echo often excel in contrasting situations, when one isn't working the other often will, BUT they are quiet similar in terms of play style in regards to win conditions and the overall focus for the player, both providing hard carry potential by finding high value picks, at a rate that can often snowball entire rounds. You don't need to rethink how to add value when switching between them, you will still be avoiding pulling major focus from he enemy while trying to find or manufacture a moment of vulnerability to go for a pick, different approaches to the same win condition that is also a generally reliable way to win ladder games. However they both also tend to suffer the more attention the enemy pays to you, so if you pop off one round you can often find yourself struggling to find any value in the next. This means that switching between them can allow you to play a similar role within your team and in how you provide value but with a completely different impact from the enemy's pov, that will require very different approaches for them to deal with. Also while it's subjective of course I'd argue that they are both highly rewarding and enjoyable heroes to invest time into, both mechanically and in building up a repertoire of creative approaches to every map that is unique to them and will only improve over time. A good tertiary hero to consider would be Cass, any hitscan in general can be a solid choice for times when the more solo playing for picks isn't working, providing the consistent and persistent damage that they can lack. Cass is my go to because in he can also work in brawlier short range situations but mainly because my tracking is ass so I find much more value on him than on somebody like soldier. I generally play more Sojourn than Cass but that may or may not be due to my bff being a lil femboi mercy main that sometimes just wants a King to pocket (or toddler to babysit depending on how my aim/ego is doing on a given day)
