How to warm up FASTER (Overwatch)

[@CrypticNovas]

I only watch ioStux. On occasion, late at night, when the sounds of traffic and nightlife outside keep me awake, I get out of my bed and shut the windows to find some quiet. After closing the blinds I lay back down, cuddle up under my blanket and pull out my mobile phone. I open the KZbin app and type his name into the search bar, slow and deliberate, letter by letter. His beautiful voice soothes me and I do not feel alone any longer in the dark. I only subscribe to ioStux, I would not betray him with any other KZbinr.

A+

[@abdulbatman]

I do the same every time he uploads a vid i save it for when i have to sleep

[@TwilitSword]

It happened on Discord first XD

[@tablecloth8293]

god is dead, why is this not pinned

[@gantomoranar7030]

pretty sure u will hate on him if he makes any mistake

[@peterhill519]

Been going through all your videos since you released your recent OW Aim Trainer. So much of your knowledge had helped, but this video was a big one. I’ve been watching my accuracy and time to kill scores in aimlab incrementally increase over the past several months but my Widowmaker aim has felt pret try stagnant. Started doing my aim training while practicing multiplication, and listening to pretty intense OW streams, and I’ve seen noticeable difference already. Makes so much sense that Aimlabs would be an ‘ideal’ aim situation of sorts, with no other pressures. Anyways, big thanks.

[@SinisterSi718113]

"Hydrate before playing!" "Don't urinate before playing!" oh no

[@supejc]

Thanks for the actual advice. It's rare to find content creators that approach teaching in a professional manner. Also it's rare to find overwatch content void of clickbait with grandmaster symbols and ass in the thumbnail

[@ziltoidtheomniscient2398]

Not gonna lie, I groaned a bit at this video because I didn't want to think about putting in more effort into something other than actually playing, but I just did a warmup with double-digit multiplication problems while shooting robots and I have to say, I felt a palpable difference. It really does mimic the frantic thinking you go through during an intense game in a safe, closed environment. I think I'm going to stick with this from now on. If you're not a smarty-pants like ioStux, I'd highly recommend this series of videos on solving more complex multiplication problems in your head. kzbin.info/www/bejne/iJjaanyhar96l7s&

[@DasOmen02]

I have the idea to listen to music while counting out the time signature while i widow hs only :thinking: Also your combination of Ziltoid and the Haruhi Suzumiya pfp is possibly the best mixture i've seen in a hot minute

[@felix3140]

Deine Tipps sind echt gut, letzte season schnell am letzten tag eingeranked da war ich lvl 30 und bin bei 1700 gelandet :/ mittlerweile bin ich lvl 161 und bei 2700 und gehe immer weiter nach oben :) danke für die ganzen hilfreichen Tipps und weiter so

[@ioStux]

Freut mich! =)

[@AaronBowley]

stop touching yourself to rank up fast!!

[@ConfusionPlus2]

2:18 Didn't expect to hear that...

[@luigiluigi9755]

2:18 that was unexpected lol

[@ValoriYT]

hahaha yeah

[@RagingTvFTW]

If I play Overwatch everyday does that mean I can't fap anymore :thinking:

[@-mehdi-7243]

:thonking:

[@fuego1529]

Thanks so much for uploading a video on this topic, really needed it. I always find thay i take way longer than i should warming up. It would probably take me 5-10 qp games to fully warm up but the tips in this video seem very helpful

[@4589dude]

I feel like it's imperative to improving my aim to buy Aim Hero

[@ioStux]

+Illuminanonymous With deathmatch coming soon thats going to replace aim hero most likely!

[@solidnollid2932]

+Piours landing fire strikes on moving bots with rein and jump pack + melee combo on moving targets with winston

[@Dragorach]

Using doubles (1 2 4 8 16 32....) and the fibonacci sequence (1 1 2 3 5 8 13 21 34....) are really helpful when I'm warming up. Great video!

[@serendipitygaming6785]

Every time i warm up i have loud af music and I sing even louder! this means my apartment (I live alone) turns into an idol audition every time i get ready to play overwatch.! And to get better game sense i play QP with music so that i dont hear footsteps and stuff, because that means i need to react quicker and focus on what happens on the screen and not "audio ques" (obviously i win the auditions every time too!) I dont know, but for me sleeping actually doesnt make me worse, but it actually make my brain "Sew" the mechanic i practiced that day into my muscle memory. I actually get better while sleeping on things... my confidence gets better if i sleep with things too but.. but if i learn a new program or a game, i tend to dream about that program or game and the day after i will be better because of it.. not by huge margines ofc but it helps me improve.

[@TheGreatAndEpicMe]

Warm up? heh you mean the minute before the game starts

[@woobth1761]

maybe i'll try warming up while listening to ioStux :^)

[@TaPeh]

Thx IoStux, I will try that before ranked!

[@kobi2024]

It's like with roadhog, I can get the craziest hooks you've seen, but if i try and concentrate on my aim with hook I will miss even easy hooks. cool video!

[@VuongNgocHieu99]

Sometime when i play fps game . I just put down my headphone or turn the music on ...sure i can't hear footstep , but man ,my aim feels "next level" .(of course ...its definetly not the best way to play)

[@jillianharte4587]

I play Winston so I warm up by doing sick 360 jumps at the start of matches.

[@deathlessgamer]

I just have one question: Does your coaching extend to consoles, more specifically the XBONE?

[@ioStux]

+Gy001 Yup it does!

[@dropz285]

Gy001 I am gm on xbone I can help you.

[@AllanKant]

I always read that as x-bone lol. Can't believe thats the name they gave it.

[@lolololzorski]

TBH I feel like eating a strong, healthy meal before playing makes me play better than barely eating anything at all. It makes me feel more energized and in turn more focused

[@tresgaming1408]

This video would have been really useful about a month ago, but it was good to learn a few things for myself.

[@WisdomPowerCourage]

Nice tips! I often start tunneling on my aim when playing in game.

[@chinnychan326]

Can you do an In-Depth Zenyatta Guide? I find your guides to be the most helpful and I'm a Zen main.

[@scalpingsnake]

'lazy mode' is my main issue atm. I often go into auto pilot when playing and its turned into a devastating habit.

[@whyargon]

scalpingsnake lazy aim and auto pilot are two very different things

[@aurelienbailleul7613]

Stay hydrated - Don't urinate. I'm almost certain this is stupid

[@ioStux]

Those 2 things don't exclude each other. You just shouldn't play immediately after urinating. You can drink a lot and take a 30 minute pee break if you have too =)

[@iwantum]

@@ioStux you really need that long to pee?

[@tacoslegit1556]

bra i dont feel safe peeing, i gotta look behind the shower curtain before and after piss. Just in case thoser killer clowns got in

[@fertonator]

last time that I didnt go to the toilet, I had to run to the bathroom in the middle of a game

[@BrotherShaw]

"Tell me how I shouldn't call people fatty." Hehehe...

[@Capta1nTD]

I like your content and you give really helpful advice my problem is I don't know how much of it transfer over to console play in regards to practicing aim.

[@Schweinegulasch]

Good advice but it would be much more helpful if you would have shown an example how the warmup could look like exactly

[@ioStux]

Deathmatch, Aim Hero, Custom games against Bots =)

[@julius6325]

Is shitpost/mashup music good for warming up?

[@tolleyt8270]

My aim randomly went smooth 2 days ago with the same mouse settings, vsync is off. Impossible to flick and harder to track because of it. Any ways to fix?

[@GamingVasta]

I tryd calculating but its hard to calculate and do a flick shot ad the same time.

[@CrypticNovas]

Yes

[@zeroscommand9733]

Does playing osu count as warming up? I always play a few beatmaps before my game session

[@superbob8791]

What should I actually do as a warm up exercise though?

[@EzraBostic]

god drop those prices I"M BROKE

[@skrongg]

ioStux, I have been using the deathmatch excessively in the PTR instead of Aim Hero. Do you think that is a viable way to practice/warm up? Or should I do both? I am a GM hitscan main.

[@ioStux]

Arguably DM is better than Aim Hero

[@KeksDieb]

You said, we should keep moving while warming up for matches. But what about the gameplay in the background? The player didn't even move. And another question, which game is that?

[@cavalry7087]

Any tips for console? Loved the video!

[@Jeyzor]

what if I'm playing comp and in the middle of a day I have to go to the bathroom but I want to keep playing comp? do I just pee my pants? Also you shouldn't call people fatty!

[@Jeyzor]

5:09 look at the last one there, I guess you missed that one :P

[@mariuswennersten7605]

Jeyzor Don't want to be called fatty? Don't be fat u obese fuck🙂

[@Jeyzor]

Marius Wennersten I'm actually underweight LUL

[@rcola5]

Marius Wennersten LUL

[@jyu2498]

Jeyzor thats not a good thing LUL

[@eyelss5659]

It's 1199858940 Do you really call that a challenge?

[@537CH]

Hey, what I do on my free time is my business!

[@nynonimousnynth3844]

I'm not very good but I just play deathmatch while watching a youtube video or stream until I've won a game and then I jump into comp

[@ike8938]

Would it be a possibility for you to do a video on how to overcome ranked anxiety? I like comp, but I don't play nearly enough. It's mainly due to me never thinking I'm ready while warming up. Does anyone know any ways I can overcome this?

[@whyargon]

Aspiring Cake " overwatchdojo" on youtube recently made a video about them

[@ike8938]

Argon thanks

[@TheMagnay]

yes, I agree about overwatchdojo here, I just watched it myself and it has some great information in it. I personally have only just got over it myself and get back into it but I am afraid I don't really have any advice for you right now. I personally kind forced myself back into and it worked for me but some people it can stress them out without knowing how to deal with that.

[@bannihops]

whats the gameplay in the background?

[@HoratioAccel]

Not focusing on aiming? Huh. That's sounds counter intuitive but I'm gonna try it.

[@vishnujeganmogan1750]

And Idk bout you guys but my aim gets worse when I focus on it

[@eyadlicious]

Listen to music with lyrics ok got it Gucci gang

[@playr1077]

wait, focusing on music while warming up is helpful? I was literally trying to break the habit of playing music to break up the monotony

[@Invhytas]

Where's the background video from? I'd like to see the custom settings.

[@ioStux]

Just search for "Sayaplayer Aim Hero" =)

[@Invhytas]

ty!

[@Feyriari]

Wish i had spare money i would pay for coaching for each hero since im pretty flex except tracer just dont like her play style

[@Nomorehero07]

Since you mention about listening to streams does it help if I listen to a podcast while warming up?

[@ioStux]

Yes a Podcast would actually be a really good Idea, didn't think of that!

[@Nomorehero07]

Awesome! I just did that an hour ago and I feel like I've been playing a lot better. On the side note: Holly crap! I didn't expect a reply, keep it up! :)

[@537CH]

Defran streams hentai when he plays. Is this why he’s so good?

[@XD-ql8wi]

Nice

[@Roxolan]

What is the game in the background, and do you recommend it as warmup?

[@ioStux]

It's Aim Hero, and yes I do!

[@austiniscoolduh]

i wish i could play that game but i get like 20 fps on it

[@awakinq9463]

Do you know what FOV in Aim Master is converted to 90 FOV in Overwatch???

[@awakinq9463]

Dex You may see less than with 103 but the hitboxes appear to be bigger than with 103 Fov

[@broor]

Y didnt u say 18 x 37?

[@cosaur7175]

What if 25530*46998 is to easy for me?

[@TheMagnay]

then calculate pi to 100 decimal places

[@ddjjj8562]

damn i broke all three of your rules + getting high

[@ThirdKultureKidd]

"don't masturbate" damn it I didn't even warm up yet!

[@iP1sano]

Staying hydrated and at the same avoiding playing after urinating sounds hard.

[@ioStux]

Nah, What I meant is that you should stay hydrated, but after you go to the toilet its best if you take a short 30 minute break or so =)

[@iP1sano]

ioStux Coaching | Overwatch You remembered me that I need to make more breaks in general. I usually only play OW for 4/5 hours after dinner, so I don't really take breaks in order to maximize my playtime.

[@mazedmarky]

MingLee

[@vayretunes]

OMG IOSTUX YOU CANT CALL PEOPLE FATTY THATS RACIST IM TRIGGERED

[@AbdulAhad-je7jt]

masturbation definitely gives me anxiety

[@Exyile]

I feel like this wasn't as helpful as your other videos. Maybe it's just me but i've been listening to rap or something and strafing "fast" while trying to kill the bots with two bursts to warm up for soldier since i can remember. I'm beggining to feel your videos are more for the lower tier players that want to improve too. Hope your next video is on something more "challenging". :)

[@ioStux]

The next video will be on Resource Management, I hope I can teach you something in that one =)

[@Exyile]

ioStux Coaching | Overwatch Hope to see some Tracer in that one as she's really dependant on resource management. Sounds like it'll be helpful :)

[@mathiasschmidt1212]

Dein English ^^ Man hört sofort, dass du deutscher bist. :-)

[@TheSCPStudio]

90% of the comments here are talking about masturbation lmfao.

[@NinjaContravaniaManX]

"Don't masturbate", because let's face it: if you're watching videos like this, you don't have a girlfriend anyway...

[@sloth8037]

not doing math lol

[@Caryo]

scream

[@jacobweixelberger4066]

Is osu good for warming up???
