I don't normally say this, but definitely watch this one to the end some juicy tips there.

[@jehehehedias5881]

Got it Coach

[@marcokrautwald1886]

people told me you cant solo tank with hulk atleast not in high elo

[@marcokrautwald1886]

so people tell me all the time strange is the best solo tank. but how tf am i supposed to play him cause he just never feels stronger than hulk

[@jehehehedias5881]

@@marcokrautwald1886 Strange isn't the best vanguard for outright tanking

[@AbsailFrog]

@@marcokrautwald1886 Shield only to block specific abilities, it's not there to prevent little chips unless you're desperate. Use the whip and play around your E ability.

[@elijahoneill5228]

That punisher player was hilarious, i swear the ones on my team never use their shotgun

[@nathan24-_-2]

the shotgun is so strong i dont get why people use the AR

[@afrocoolio25]

Shotgun combined with Rocket's infinite ammo is so fun. lol

[@cmdxx]

@@nathan24-_-2 because the 10 foot range on it maybe

[@trapstarrxen8378]

@nathan24-_-2 punisher is a ranged dps so it wouldn’t make sense for him to be shooting half court shotgun shells that’ll have 80% damage fall off lol

[@nathan24-_-2]

@ ofc not but that's what makes his kit so versatile, he's a menace at pretty much all ranges. His AR is great at targeting flyers or long ranged targets and his shotgun is great at the frontline or peeling for your supports thats getting dove by a venom or spiderman. If anyone tries to escape from a failed dive then you can just switch to the AR and finish them off as well. I'm just saying it's underutilized is all

[@michaeljhale23]

That hotel bar up the street wont know what hit them.

[@phantoomart699]

thank you for using the word "situational awareness". I swear people don't understand this enough I hate the word "game sense", they think "game sense" is some magical sense, no it means situational awareness. You recognize a situation, and you need to be aware of what that means of your surrounding.

[@Canthary]

Game sense for me is a catch-all term for not only situational awareness but also your combined experience in the game which would affect your decision making. But yeah, it is a nebulous term, all things considered.

[@BananaWasTaken]

@@CantharyYeah. For me game sense is probably a mix of situational awareness, positioning and decision making

[@quisshy]

Man I wish my supports had this when im on 1 hp 2 feet away from them

[@SlCKNESS_]

Game sense is not the same thing as situational awareness. It's much closer to what Canthary mentioned.

[@chrismoore1372]

It is also knowing and predicting without even seeing in some aspects

[@Night-xn1ks]

You remind me of dr disrespect without the child touching

[@whos_agent2129]

Absolutely…

[@whos_agent2129]

Not

[@irvinsantana2982]

🤣🤣🤣🤣🤣🤣🤣

[@beardeddutchman5197]

Why the snowflake response? Dr disrespect didn't touch and kids dude

[@dutchschaefer11]

What on earth are you on about

[@GoblinManSam]

7:05 that's what playing tank is all about, some good psychological warfare. Love walking up to the enemy team as Groot like I'm about to ult and just don't lol.

[@Kraumyke]

He was genuinely in their minds all game honestly I would hate playing against this guy

[@Franklojpg]

props to psy too for playing beside you and not going solo dive to die just because "that's how you play her"

[@LuvMike]

Solo tanking for me is extremely miserable so this really helps

[@alexanderschooler579]

Same, I kinda built my play style as an aggressive captain america or Thor, but when I was forced so solo tank so much, I had to slow myself down so much. Much less diving the back and much more planting my feet on the objective and jumping back and forth to create pressure.

[@ISeaYeah]

Just ran this strat in my diamond 1 comp game today, worked amazingly. Thank you for the amazing video.

[@CaptainCoach]

np glad it helped

[@megoodatgame8535]

I know more playing about Hulk than I do almost every character I play from watching these videos

[@dog7426]

I really like that he isn’t teaching us how to get mvp, but to just win the whole game. Really helpful for a Hulk newbie like me

[@ShoNuffTheShoGun1]

0:38 wait say Yggdrasil again 😂

[@D_Jilla]

What what google voice ass pronunciation? 😂

[@4500danny]

Lol right

[@jjwitvoet2245]

Not that hard to pronounce it properly either

[@DLJT95]

4:10 always play line of sight that benefits your team. This choke point is good for your team to close off space and LOS from the enemy. As long as someone can maintain the height beside you it will work.

[@benjaminj883]

same man i used to be more useless as hulk than i was with spiderman even though he was my second most played hero, now im a menace

[@williamdew1961]

This might be the best breakdown video I’ve ever seen! You really have me thinking differently as a new hulk main, thanks for the tips!

[@CaptainCoach]

glad it's helping you

[@MaffEntertainment]

Hulk main here. Your videos are amazing and very informative.

[@lampshade6579]

Your breakdowns are so smart and understandable, I would love to see you make videos on other tanks.

[@vxxiii4160]

I agree with many Punisher players being the absolute worst

[@igozi5728]

I would argue that iron fist, spidey and magik players are usually the worst you can get. It's most of the time auto-lose if they are not switching any point and just die trying.

[@tomophobe]

Now I’m gonna try solo tanking as mr fantastic 👀

[@garglemuh]

bro said "yiggagadrasil" with a straight face lmao

[@HammyCalamity]

4:08 my guess why you stopped the cart is cause this is a juicy checkpoint to choke the enemy into... yay i was right, but your reasons why so is very insightful! love your videos, dont even play hulk, but many of your advice is just really good game sense wise

[@Over_Reaction]

need a shirt with the Hulk ulting that says "imposing my will" 💀

[@Kenn_Kaii]

5:37 The Punisher player setting up that turret in the thick of a melee battle has me crying lmao

[@PersianGamer36]

Nothing more satisfying than slapping a cloak and dagger during there ult with magneto

[@200efo]

I did this, and enemy team shredded me in 0.3 seconds at the start... I tried to contest over and over again waiting for my team, trying to work around them, they steamrolled us...

[@reality3304]

Yeah this doesn’t work if your team doesn’t have good dps and supports that can defend themselves.

[@AM-bm9rs]

this doesn't work at lower ranks, he even did videos named "trying to carry in silver gold etc..". in lower ranks you don't get healed your team is stupid and dies before you and doesn't output enough pressure. My advice is to switch up your strategy depending on what quality of team you have, and sometimes you have a bad team and are bound to lose.

[@BananaWasTaken]

You probably shouldn’t have tried contesting without your team. The few seconds you hold the point for whilst they shred you down in a 1v6 usually isn’t worth it.

[@drowzey5762]

Good dps again did u see his punisher? 😭​@reality3304

[@SupremeDouchebaggery]

In low elo you can stand in front of your healers as a tank and they still wont heal you its crazy

[@quisshy]

This part is so real 2:12 like where tf is half my team at any given moment 💀

[@theJmaster18]

Phill Jackson will be proud of the us of triangle offence being used in the modern day

[@ZBXrivals]

he sat up that turret behind the payload in the enemy teams narnia... this is golden thanks for the laughs bro

[@DissipativeAdaptation]

“What goes up must come down…unless it’s my elo “ 😂😂 too bad mine is the complete opposite 😢😢

[@bobdole3996]

This is legit the video i needed to see. Thanks coach. 😂

[@KennyMcGavin]

It makes me unreasonably happy to see solotank Hulk firmly defeat a Dr. Strange AND a Magneto

[@INU4SH4]

You make it look easy. Generally when I'm solo tanking I go Magneto or Strange cause solo tanking with anyone else is pain, but when there's someone else tanking with me, I enjoy playing Groot a lot

[@camronclark8158]

This is incredible information! I've been wanting to play tank more but never really understood how people survive so long or how they create space. But this give me a lot of insight to the mind of high rank tanks!

[@Krypto1201]

I’ve been watching your gameplays- and I’ve been implementing your playstyle with mine. Got 30 kills as hulk on Payload. It was fun as hell, keep up the videos bro

[@astorathegreat]

Insanely informational for when I want to hulk smash my monitor due to my teammates trying to be the main character

[@Tremain]

Nunnyas serving as a perfect example of what not to do the entire video was hilarious.

[@zestyot3751]

Wow this is a first, I got into a game with you the other day and thought we were playing very in sync. I actually mistook your name for coach mills and looked you up. When I play cap this is almost exactly the same play style I use, this is the first very educational content I’ve found for this game so far, keep it up

[@rb98769]

Honestly, playing for objectives should reward you with points. I have no idea why this isn't a thing.

[@asfmus.07]

bc supports and dps dont really play for objective on defense so it would just be unfair for them

[@itzjuice01]

Im not much of a Tank player, but watching your videos you have single handedly made tank sooooo much more appealing to me

[@kovulion7777]

[@fluffyruff7453]

Would love to see another video like this for the t'chala capture point maps.

[@dylanj7178]

Hey coach, I loved the vid, would love another vid like this “solo tanking” but on a capture the point map, thanks!

[@CaptainCoach]

Noted!

[@DizGaAlcam]

2-2-2 is def the meta, 1beefy tank (think hulk/venom) and one utility tank (magneto/strange), 1 ranged dps and one meelee dps, 2 healers, preferably one with a supportive ult

[@eternaltoad1818]

im a tank main in almost every game i play and this is incredibly helpful. thank you

[@EliasVodka]

youre speaking facts from the start to the end lol great video

[@Asmo.Audios]

This video taught me I just wasnt being aggressive enough when I play tank

[@ShortAndFormal]

Immediately improved my game and I ranked I tore through bronze with the tips from the first half

[@TruSavage62]

Congrats on 10k Coach 🍾

[@CaptainCoach]

Thank you!

[@christophersyphertt3465]

4:07 You stop the cart here because if you don't you will have one fight to objective. A hard push here alows for a stall which can lead to a stalemate fight (that kills time and progression hoping for worst case OT) or a win which allows you to free push back to start or worst case scenerio my team get whipped Or u get whiped so the healers and DPS have to stall for a second fight on Objective for a final hard stop or an OT push

[@robertwagner9392]

Only hero I play with it venom…and I’ll have to remember this thank you for your tips. I love watching your channel and my daughter loves watching you as hulk!!! Hulk smash!

[@scoop92]

This was very well thought out and your positioning on every play you made was really really good I learned a lot from watching this video. I will definitely use this video from now on as a study guide

[@saskilla1945]

incredibly good info on solo tank bro i sometimes am forced to leave healer when people decide to pick it even though i was a healer before them and i already am really confident to heal everyone on my team

[@angelm.1347]

So much I needed to learn about playing Hulk, thank you for these awesome plays

"what goes up must come down... Unless it's my elo" 😂

Love these videos! made me subscribe and I improved so much with Hulk thanks to them, would love to see one with Mr Fantastic if you had a good game using him as he's also one of my mains and I see you use it sometimes!

I like how you pause to just flame the punisher every now and then lmao

whats the strat when you play against people with more than 3 brainn cells. Or when you play against him... the Wolverine

[@RandomGorilla10]

Bro your outfit reminds me of joe fixit when he was on bruce banner body on the Immortal Hulk run🔥. Also, thanks for the tips, they are the most helpful resource for hulk I have ever seen!

[@KiTTtheKiDD]

This the only video I've asked for. Thank you!!!

[@jameszeropr]

I would like to see this concept with a low mobility tank. Some of the tips would be hard to adapt to tanks like Groot or Magneto. I'll be trying these concepts but without the ability to jump in and out I'll have to pick and choose positions with better timing.

[@0xygen637]

Glad to know the reason I'm grand master as a flex player is because I have good habit like using anything invincible like the cart as a second shield

[@therealeatz]

Masterclass Hulk performance. Beautiful game, really.

[@alexdavis2674]

For real this was such an incredible video! Please spam out more content lol

[@Drewchiha]

thats why i main Fantastic hes really good hybrid tank dont believe me check my damage blocked on my Lord Fantastic

[@naransolongoboldbayer8030]

Finally got to both Plat I and Lord Hulk in the same match a couple days ago and these guides have been instrumental to that success. This vid also helps me confirm that playing more "passively" when solo Hulk can work out. Getting to Diamond has still been painful but I'm a lot better at knowing when it's my mistake and knowing when it's the team's mistake. Had one convoy match where we only had 1 tank and 1 healer (me being the tank) and right before the round starts someone swaps to a 2nd tank, so I decide to flex and fill the 2nd support, we lose the first couple points and the guy who played tank swapped off to healer, flamed me for being a bad support and left us with 0 tanks and 0-3 on the score. The biggest plot twist is we somehow won the whole game. The rest of the team was thankfully a bit more understanding after the first loss so we got a balanced 2/2/2 comp with a decent spider-man (who still got flamed from the prior guy)

[@TheKrakenAwakesyt]

Solo tanking till I gotta solo tax file...

[@crash10125]

One of mt biggest pet peeves when diving onto the enemy team is getting jump cancelled.

[@Chris-zn9zx]

i think its realiy important to note that 11:59 is an overextend since a competent invis women would pull you back as you are jumping back to cart.

[@ZenotoXOfficial]

I think the best way to be a good hulk with all this in mind is realizing just how much he DOESNT DIE. The enemy team RESPECTS him, they pop ults, they get defensive, they fear the Hulk. But if they know they can just blast down this enemy hulk, you lose ALL of that. That conditioning is super important, because without that respect, you really are just an ult battery that's either gonna run away after 2 seconds or just be another number towards someone's MVP.

[@jamesbellwood5839]

Hey mate love the video Any tips for Magneto? How would you alter the play style compared to Hulk?

[@CaptainCoach]

As magneto just focus on pushing enemies off the cart, hitting their backline when you can, and saving his ult for supports like cloak and dagger and mantis

[@Sadeyr]

Do you hold for your super jump or have it set to toggle? Thank you for the video!

[@KillaDot909]

Great tips, but it really does suck when you are doing all these things, being aggressive so the enemies focus you, checking on teamates, protecting them when possible and stalling as much as possible, then you check the scoreboard and see you've done the most damage and the most kills your dps has is 3 by the end of the first round. DPS mains really are something else in low ELO (im gold 1)

[@andrewjacob1789]

Is solo tanking in domination similar to attacking cart? Would love a video if you could!

[@NoxMedicant]

2:22 every tank main when they look back

[@Pryflim]

congratz on 10k

[@CaptainCoach]

Tanks!

[@gelatine_ac]

I wonder, could you apply this same game plan as someone like Iron Fist? He's obviously not as tanky as Hulk, but I feel like he can fulfil a similar role in this scenario with his self sustain and mobility.

[@CraigWarren-fj9ui]

Great vid got my sub and follow🎉🎉🎉

[@CaptainCoach]

[@herbv3449]

Part coach, part Dr. Disrespect, absolute chad.

[@mmmmmmmtoast]

Hopefully not that one part of dr disrespect

[@LOLHAXGUN]

that punisher was trying to part time as an offtank for you bro xdd

[@nobodymr2146]

Smart playstyle will try it. I am learninf wolverine but no one tanks and my tank roster is mainly hulk, captain so difficult in payload. Your style concept looks similar to cloudy’s strat on OW map circuit royale 1st point. Where your angle allows your healers to heal you and you are using natural cover to give them time to reload or a break to heal the dps and you can’t take damage from the enemy because you are hiding and using the cart as cover.

[@Malxer]

3 main characters? You're lucky. I had to solo tank as Groot with just an Adam as our only healer.

[@315Geoff]

I completely agree with everything in this. Where I struggle tanking is actually on the capture the point maps. Do you have any tips for tanking on those maps/objectives?

[@sirobi2524]

What feels better than being the ‘hero’ on Dps is doing the same thing as vanguard and dropping more damage and kills than everyone else

[@sethwoligroski9166]

D2 Venom main, even with this being my fist hero shooter I totally agree with the last tip; there's a lot of success to be had with those team splits after objective captures on push maps. High mobility Vanguards should always be looking out for that; sometimes even on capture maps I'll look for stragglers who died early last fight and aren't as aware coming back to point that they're far from their team again

[@prestonnemoto7945]

0:05 Earned My Like Sir!

[@nzpowa._.6662]

If i need damage, i go thor. If i need defense and quick returns to point, i go strange. When i need both, and that crowd control, hulk. But made to to platinum switching between these 3 for tanks based plays. I cant be a otp. I just cant. I need variety.

[@UpFunkDNB]

Acting like you invented standing on cart at the start of this map is pretty wild lmao.

[@alphawolf9324]

Exactly tanks been doing that and hugging the cart since overwatch 😂

[@chickenyouate4429]

Taking it personally when someone is giving advice, definitely the average marvel rivals player

[@imSincerePromise]

Easily a bronze lobby, show the ranks. These rules dont apply lol this isnt happening once you hit high diamond

[@2kurse]

its plat 1 just checked

[@iSUMMONYT]

Pretty sure the Punisher got MVP there.... im not joking.

[@frantatty]

12:22 lmfaoo, another great vid

[@Setanta93]

Im a punisher player and some of the turret drops were okay, it creates immense pressure on the enemy team in chokes because it's splash damage and he cant be hit because turret acts as a shield, plus you're body blocking a lot of the hits from the turret itself, and it farms ult charge pretty quickly since he's hitting so many at once. I'm only Diamond 2 but the turrets he was placing didn't seem that bad after the first one (which was quite bad but maybe he assumed the healers would outheal the dmg idk).

[@MsLacieable]

Nah it's bad, seen many punisher like this only to get dived and stopped wasting the turret. Punisher works if there's no diver on enemy team which happens a lot so that's how crappy Punishers climb 😅

[@zackbaker8730]

Amazing video coach!
