I started streaming recently, and I can concur that commentating my own gameplay has helped me improve. Just talking about what I'm doing (even when there are no viewers) helps me internalize how I can improve my decision-making

@Sammysapphira7 жыл бұрын
A thing to note is a lot of players watch pro players, of any fps, and see them wipe the floor against a nearly oblivious team. Things like walking behind and killing 3-4 people before they even turn to hit them, so they think "What the hell why do I never get to fight dumb people like that?" The reason is not because the players are dumb, but because the pro flanked at a CORRECT time. He flanked when they were distracted, shooting at one of your team mates about 10 feet away, they're too BUSY to turn around and fight you, that's why pros can do such successful plays whereas normal players go in and just straight up die. It's not even mechanical, you can't out-mechanics a 6 man team, you have to out-smart them.

This is very similar to something I heard by a chess grandmaster. He said that we're all geniuses at answering chess questions, but we are naturally terrible at asking ourselves the correct ones. If we ask ourselves the correct questions before each chess turn, then all of our moves will be the best they possibly can be. In chess, these questions would be, "is my opponent threatening anything with their previous move?" Or, what's my worst piece see the moment?" In overwatch, the questions would be the ones mentioned in the video, i.e. when to flank/peel, status of when ultimates, etc.

I think another good habit to get into is gradually incorporating new habits. The general flaw I see is tunnel vision. Try to force yourself to look at the killfeed. Before entering a fight, look at the scoreboard and think for a second on what ults the enemy has. When it a team fight, force yourself to think "am I firing at the right person?" Try to look out for sounds in your backline to see if you have to peel. And most importantly, when you notice you've lost a fight, regroup.

I used to use the commentate every day in video games and I got really good at it, so good at it that I used to do it in my head and I used it in school. I had really good grades for 2 years and it was an amazing point in my life. But one day I realized that I did it so much that I didn't talk, like at all, my best friends were the only ones I talked to already but now people literally thought I was mute and I didn't snap out of it until a guy tried to make fun of me and to my face, I yelled at the kid in class and everybody went silent because everybody thought I was a mute. I like your technique a lot but when you said to commentate everything it really made something in my mind twitch a little bit. Love your vids keep up the good work.

Hmm. I might not have realized that when I was playing yesterday, but I probably started off playing consciously and slipped into autopilot as I got comfortable with a few wins or otherwise with playing at least a little bit decently. I don't think there's anything wrong with trying to do conscious play non-verbally right from the get-go (at least, if you think you actually can do so), but try to be aware that you're doing it and realize if you've slipped into autopilot. It might be time to move on to something else when you do.

I feel like pro players don't think through everything they do. A lot of it has been condensed to a feeling, which is why often elite players of many sports can't explain why they did what they did, one option didn't feel good and one did. The thinking is minimized for efficiency of thought so only high level strats are mentally vocalized. It's like a person whose never played a computer game needing to think even to walk around at first, and later it would be weird if you did think about it.

I don't see how watching Streams is a waste of time (when you are trying to improve). The same things you do watching vods you can do watching streams, you just have to be paying attention.
@ioStux7 жыл бұрын
Watching streams you never know what kind of matches you will be watching. By watching VoDs on youtube all of the bad games are filtered out for you. And watching VoDs allows you to pause the VoD whenever you want, thinking about the situation and predicting how the pro is going to react. You can't do that with a stream. Also, with KZbin VoDs you can search for specific VoDs and maps. With Streams the maps you will watch are basically random so you can't fully focus on 1 specific part of the game. And paying attention and memorizing an entire stream is a lot harder than watching a single VoD =) Watching streams is great for entertainment! But its a waste of time for improving because hand picking your VoDs on KZbin is MUCH more effectice!
@bucca90497 жыл бұрын
ibleed4creed tbh watching streams helped me more than watching vods bc you get to see the losses too & over time u start realizing what may be going wrong in those games, as well as watching multiple streamers perspectives of 1 match to see what the problem was & also in yt vods whenever the player dies they usually cut out so you dont get to hear his callouts after death or see the kill feed during that which makes it confusing, and also if you dont understand some decision the player makes, if he's streaming u can just ask in chat
@bucca90497 жыл бұрын
as well as just generally hearing the player answer questions abt his playstyle in between games can b very helpful bc you might not pick up on that while watching the game
