thanks for watching me flats :) can’t wait for the next roast

[@WaveOfDestiny]

My casual suggestion is that once you climb they are going to punish you much more for your mistakes, so when you die, every time, instead of not thinking about it, you should think "why did I die, why were the enemies able to kill me?", and you'll probably find out that most of the time it was your position and movement instead of your mechanics or teamates or luck. If you take that punishement as an opportunity to think, your brain automatically learns how to play better really quickly, since positioning is not something you can practice in an aim trainer especially in this game. You probably won't see all mistakes you make at first, but the more you recognize them, the more you will recognize in the future. Because you have A LOT of potential and you did really good for someone who just started playing fps games

In fairness OW is just a harder game to aim in even without the excuse of blaming another unrelated aspect of gameplay or a "bad team". 1. Movement acceleration is non-existent in OW and animations change radically compared to games like CoD when strafing. 2. Models in OW vary tremendously. In CS:GO there are only going to be a few options to where the model of an enemy rounding a corner is going to be. In OW tracer has very good control over where she is in the Z and X axis, it's just more options to consider. 3. OW is just faster than other games and makes more use of it's Y axis. Flying characters are easily the biggest hurdle for newbies and i think it's because other shooters don't prioritize vertical aim as much as OW. Good luck to this bronze and their climb!

i love how the game didn't end when sigma left after 15 seconds but in my games we literally win the round and it ends after someone rage quits

[@daniellemeows]

It’s because the game doesn’t get canceled if the person leaving has taken any amount of damage. The only way it can get canceled is if they are inactive without taking damage until getting kicked/and or dc before taking damage. It is to prevent people from losing one fight in 15 seconds and then rage quitting. If you had a game end that means one of their teammates was afk the WHOLE fight without moving or taking damage before getting kicked. Some people use this as a method to determine whether it’s worth staying the game or not. I hope that helps

The point about watching higher-level play as a new player was really good. I've had OW since Ana release and for the life of me, I couldn't figure out how to play D.va until I watched my friend play her in person. Then all of a sudden it was, oh, movement, ok.

Re: Dead Eye, I believe it's right to left, so the shot meant for the right-most target would hit first, regardless of damage. Or the other way around. Like, it is position-based I think which is why sometimes Genji will get a Deflect kill but someone else will still die before Genji if his shot isn't first.

[@axiommarquess3831]

I used to watch you every now again, then you started doing the spectating bronze series and I've started binging your videos, subscribed and followed on twitch. Great content! I know you dislike vod reviews, but you're really talented at educating your viewers in a unique way. I hope you learn to love doing these because it is wonderful

[@josephdavis3472]

Honestly, as far as aim goes, I think it's also about the fact that overwatch has a roster of heroes that all have very different hitboxes, movement patterns, and abilities. So if someone is new, and they don't know how the heroes move, it can be pretty tough to land headshots, even if you can mostly manage body shots. I think that would still be true even if you were pretty used to playing shooters. Like hypothetically, if the only other game you played was CS:GO, and suppose you are decent but not amazing at it... in overwatch, at least at first, your aim and decision making would probably suck. You'd know how to aim generally, but you'd find yourself shooting at D.va's DM, or desperately trying to kill a roadhog mid breather, etc etc. Sometimes even if you can land the shot, there's no way you would actually kill anything assuming you're not on Widow and still landing headshots or something. Half of killing things in this game is keeping mental track of important cooldowns, and just going on the offensive while you have a slight advantage over them. Someone with no gamesense will regularly take really bad fights.

[@firstnamelastname9237]

Honestly part of why I like this game. It’s half planning/knowledge and half actual gaming.

[@DrProfNoNo]

19:50 High noon will shoot from left to right, front to back in that order So in case of the front target being in shot for less time it'll first take their own initial shot then the shot for the one behind... So first own 700 then 900 If both were in view for same time it'd just be double 900

I was wondering that too! Could maybe be that the round had started and he picked a hero..? And had done some things? I know they added something to avoid dodging. A lot of game cancels are because someone went afk and never picks a hero. But I am not 100% sure on how it works.

For high noon it fires left to right but ramps at the same speed for damage. So since rein was to the left and was in Los first and longer the higher damage shot broke shield and second shot was the brig shot which killed her. But since both had skulls she was dead no matter what. However I have personally had a ball block someone's skulled bullet "get down mr. President style" and live then died to the non skull bullet on the ball himself.

For reference high noon will charge past full health on targets - this is most notable in that you can hold for along time and then full break a rein (or orisa, sigma, brig, whatever) shield in the first bullet and then the rest of your bullets kill the actual targets behind the shield.

His shield took the first shot and he ended up taking 3 shots before he died. I'm pretty sure that's still the highest Stat game I've ever had 😅.

On the mechanical aim being hard to develop in ow I think in comparison to other fps games I'd also say it's hard to aim in general. Due to small hotboxes that move fast as well compared to say CSGO where movement is less prevalent. Your movement can screw your aim as much as the enemies.

Something I noticed here that I see all the time is people always try to shoot Sym's turrets even if they are head level or lower. People seem to forget they can punch them and they if they are close together one punch will take out all three. I've turned around to the Sym portal that just popped up behind me and punched the 3 turrets dead just to see a teammate die that way a minute later because they tried to step back and shoot them one at a time. They don't even need to be over lapping for that to work.

A lot of people don't know this but I have tried explaining this to teams when the turrets are an issue and within melee range. Not sure if they even try afterward though. I think they think turrets have more hp than that, or forget melee is a cleave.

[@pixelart0124]

One time I had high noon and enemy rein had his shield up and enemy bap behind him. They just stood there doing nothing the whole time. So I waited for my damage to increase. Until eventually the damage of my high noon shot was bigger than the shield capacity, so first shot aimed at bap broke the shield, second shot aimed at rein killed him. Even though he had his shield up, his shield was broken by the shot aimed at bap behind him. If you notice how tanks take longer for the skull to appear for them than squishies, this is because the damage a high noon shot does increases for everyone equally at the same rate.

Girlie get on the hype!

[@Syllaren]

Yeah I've seen plat players that aimed similar to this. Positioning and awareness are definitely more than the mechanics here.

[@chatfou57]

19:13 As far as I know high noon always shoots right to left based on where targets are when you press the primary fire button, so the shot that hit brig shield was the one meant for Brig and the shot that killed the Brig was the one meant for Rein (fairly easy to see because you paused the replay on the frame he says "draw", indicating he has just pressed m1). This means that the shot which hit and killed the Brig was charged for the entire cast time of deadeye, while the shot that broke the shield was a bit less charged because Brig exited L.O.S. However, considering Brig only left L.O.S for about 0.3 seconds, I doubt that charge time difference could have saved the Brig since the cast time overall was pretty short and the damage accumulation only ramps up dramatically after 1.5 seconds. I'd say the damage difference between the two bullets would probably be less than 170, and the shot meant for Rein was charged enough to kill him despite him being near full health. TL;DR If Brig stayed out of L.O.S for longer she would have been screwed by the bullet shooting priority, but she was instead screwed by standing in front of her Rein Also, after a bit I saw someone in chat asking if damage keeps stacking past red skull (enemy's current health), yes it does, and that's why you can kill through a full hp Rein shied with deadeye. Just keep it charging for as long as you can, and the bullets are gonna deal something like 2500 damage each, which can easily oneshot Rein shield
