coaches making youtube channels is so good for the community

ty for making this, ive known this fact for years and with OW classic I'm back in the saddle top fragging as the most difficult, skill-based hero of all time-- scatter arrow hanzo. i might be the best OW player ever btw.

Thanks, I mainly play support (mostly mercy otp) i have a general understanding of aim on support heros... ONLY.. this was helpful. Trying to do placements on dps (not doing great lmaooo)

Btw, that keyboard aiming method in Team Fortress 2 is called mirroring

Also see Quake/Quake 3 Lightning Gun strafe aim! Old as ye olde hills

[@CoolDrifty]

@@defragsbin was gonna mention CS 1.5 but that probably takes the cake. having good pre-aim with good movement will always be more consistent than flicking accuracy

[@thatafknoob7813]

Great video, Cap! Sending this to my chungus hitscan as we speak!

[@bentocod]

LMAO

[@Just-qt4ky]

About aiming, i think its pretty much like the "left stick aiming" on 'rollers shooters like in warzone or apex (even ow console), with the exception of the aim assist lol. Didnt knew you could do that on mouse and keyboard and get actual good results with it

[@SynchroFPS]

Nice vid. Id really like to see a vid on the mauga/reaper/juno comp that looks to be pretty strong right now. Maybe boring but idk I feel like it would be good when watching owcs or playing scrims.

[@Synthpopper]

What if I'm a dyspraxic stoner that can't aim a non-shotgun hitscan to save my own life?

[@finnical9718]

"The first thing is punishing enemy tanks for existing." HMM, I WONDER WHY TANK CAN FEEL BAD TO PLAY SOMETIMES

[@marzanislam5989]

take a shot every time this dude says the word 'right'

[@nemrus]

echo guide next pls

[@PopstarGI-DLE]

dps for sure the hardest role in overwatch and always has been

[@Synthpopper]

Depends who you play. Also I'd say DPS is hardest to learn, easiest to master

great video and very good explanation

ive always thought that its bad to shoot tanks if shooting other roles is avaliable, is there a way to kind of know when its good to pressure the tank that way?

[@bentocod]

Gotta dink the tank every now and then to show them ur off the menu

[@krunshii2468]

@@jino.o6500 coach cap might have something different to say but shooting tank is more consistent value and also gives the enemy supports less ult charge per damage done

[@thezombiesatemyhomework7412]

I think the key here is to understand that this is totally situational. If the enemy team presents some squishy targets and you can eliminate them- then do so, obviously. But if there aren't other targets, or you know they are just going to duck back into cover and heal... Well, you lose a lot of value. Suppression had it's merit, but you're better off targeting the tank and keeping them back unless the enemy support/dps is imminently threatening. You absolutely want to take their supports/DPS out where possible, but if you've got free time? Whittle down their shields, chip away their armor and keep their support busy topping them off while your team advances the fight. Always be doing *something.* sounds really silly, but having a constantly shifting goal you are working for keeps you focused and active. A focused, active team is a winning team.

[@TravelersChosen]

@@thezombiesatemyhomework7412preach mf preach ‼️

[@seuu.]

??? « shooting other roles » was not « available » almost the whole vid when they shot tank. I think u didn’t get the part about positioning. They position where they can apply pressure & be hard to punish which led them in these situations having only enemy tank in LoS. when enemy squishes peek u can see Lip & Merit shoot at them. also this is a team so they obv calling focus on targets

The problem I have with matching the enemies movement. Wouldn’t that make me easier to hit too? And make my movement more obvious.

[@briandunfee4326]

You don't have to necessarily Match their movement. Just use your strafe to aim.

[@chlve]

Must watch title agree

[@bennettstokes195]

I play only Hanzo but I’m guessing it applies just the same

[@Raza_ow]

What would you be doing as a hitscan playing going against ball or doom. Would I you still be shooting tank 70% of the time do to positing safe and not in dive range or how would I play that

[@muneebow]

"Tanks with their terrible movement". Dva and monkey laughing at that remark

[@muneebow]

Support is the easiest role tbh

[@Our_Remedy]

Huh this is a really long video to say 'Click their heads' I guess it's really in-depth about positioning and coaching on cooldown usage.

merit example is not good he would die if brig didn't eat that spear 10:16

[@capitology]

He’d also die if his juno flanked and jumped off the map. Do you want me to pick fights where the best supports in the world don’t do their jobs?

[@krunshii2468]

on the topic of keyboard/movement aim, is it not also a bad idea to use this kind of movement in a lot of cases since it makes it easier for the enemy to hit you? genuine question

[@ModulerDrone]

While true in 1v1s It’s more complex than that. Depends on the position. Doing that works for him in that case due to the target and his position, basically being safe while doing damage

[@taylorm841]

depends on the matchup and whos looking at you but most of the time your movement is still random enough to throw off shots

[@SynchroFPS]

the name for this is 'reactive framing'

[@cookster69]

it's important to know when to dodge and when to movement aim/minimise movement. As a general rule of thumb, the more enemies that are looking at you the more complicated you should make your movement, if you're in a widow sightline then you should also dodge better. It's really nuanced to be honest and a lot of it comes with just playing the game, but the best players in the world are insanely good at this specific thing and it's really important in overwatch. surefours guide to movement is a good starting point

[@josephreynolds2401]

They're standing behind peeking cover, Orisa+ some. This is the defense they need to create opportunities by trading damage.

[@wisp9856]

Hitscan may have a lot of pressure on it, but it's so forgiving, it has the least jobs a lot of the time. Tank has just as much if not more pressure, the support abilities, the tank trade focus, the tank buster heroes and the hard focus in a poke phase. Support has utility, damage, healing, often more jobs than just the kill squishy poke out tank job that often happens with dps. Plus, a specific hitscan dps has the most playmaking potential in the game (widow) Of course no role is easy outside of certain characters, mercy, torb, hog for example

[@GoibniuNihiliste]

Can't get more easier than S76, that's why I like him so much.

[@marcovazquez-ou2pv]

You have bad aim if you use Mirroring and it will be easier for people with actual good aim to gun you down since you are easier to read. Sorry but you cant use this method and claim hitscan is the easiest role. This will work till you go against actual good hitscan

[@MinnVictus]

put more nuance into the theory. Cap isn't saying you need to mirror every second of the game, but when you KNOW you can mirror without any actual threat being posed, why wouldn't you? It's literally just objective advantage in neutrals if all you need to do is hit your shots. You can always change to more dodgy type movement if you're in a 1v1 anyways. We literally watch the best hitscan in the world using this method when it makes sense and you're still saying it won't work against better players LOL

[@marcovazquez-ou2pv]

@MinnVictus those hitscans just don't have the aim to rely on it then? What do you want me to say, mirroring is a crutch and if you rely on it too much you will never develop mouse control. Its just how it is, if you don't use it, you lose it, or gain it for that matter. This guy just made this video to justify hitscan being easy, when in reality mirroring is the lowest form of "aim" even a monkey can do it

[@marcovazquez-ou2pv]

@MinnVictus if you don't use it you lose it, same with gaining it. If you use mirroring it's because your aim just isn't that good. Sorry?

[@MinnVictus]

@@marcovazquez-ou2pv A better way to put it would be: If you can ONLY use mirroring to aim you aim isn't that good. Mirroring is a tool to be used, but it is situational. To not ever use it is literally making the game harder to play for the ideals of only using your mouse to aim. To reiterate, mirroring is NOT for fair 1v1 duels hitscan v hitscan, and it was never claimed to be. Like who the fuck are you playing against that prevents you from ever mirroring tank movement for better neutral trades? Surely you're getting into GM/Champ lobbies before making these claims? Surely LIP is just not that good at aiming and you'd trounce them in your kovaaks scores? Lemme know man I'd love to hear your thoughts on this.

[@marcovazquez-ou2pv]

@MinnVictus except it's a bad habbit. It's best to just not use it, if you use it sorry but your aim just didn't good. Also I'm Voltaic Jade so I'm fairly certain I'm better at raw aim then most of these Overwatch Master and Grandmaster players. I'm also 1000% sure I'm better than you based off your video

[@rizkybiz]

Not the millennial pause at the beginning 💀 Coaching really does age you 10 years RIP

[@Bluemansonic]

?

[@GarouOfficial]

I'm going to be aware of the fact that everyone is at different skill levels, and this is an educational video, but hit scan is the easiest dps role. click where you want to do damage, unlike any projectile dps that needs to lead shots, have predictive aim, and constantly analyze what the person they are fighting might do, in order to aim to extract the most value as they navigate the match. Ignoring projectile sizes and player model sizes in the high intensity aim duels, no amount of movement or prediction juking can save you from a hitscan.

[@DankPit]

Classic mode made me pick up Mcree I mean Cassidy I like him but I wish his E was a sort of stun move that stunned my targets so I didnt have to aim at them and could just bum them for free and kill them for feee.

Pc players will say playing hitscan heroes are easy cuz its literally point and click. But as someone with 2300 hours in game on console, its way harder than projectile heroes on controller.

[@Ben_stormer]

aim assist does half the work for you on hitscan just lock in vro

[@Shrimp4Gura]

@Ben_stormer not really, aim assist will try to drag away from the person you are aiming at if someone goes into your FOV. Ive lost so many widow duels cuz someone flew into view and the aim assist tried to drag to them.

Best thing I ever did was switch h to pc from Xbox. Takes a bit to get used to mnk but feels so much better than console.
