I like it better when you're half coaching half roasting, tbh. It makes it more funny, because you take a break from helping to just light their ass on fire all in one go

Personally, a good combination of both the roasting and the coaching would be really cool, cause it'd be entertaining to watch and also get a bit of info of trying to improve. :)

[@SarcasmOwO]

[@crownysuccubus1524]

Exactly this. The roasting is hilarious, but a good balance of both would be like peanut butter and chocolate.

@@DyingBreed8 it's a good pick against teams that can't press W, as you climb this changes.

[@rossthemoss6827]

@@Wyrm1310 True, junkrat is nearly unstoppable when the enemy just runs straight into your bombs

[@karamei]

@@DyingBreed8 Nope, I actually never realized this myself (I don't play Junkrat though) but Flats explains why this is very simply and clearly. Junk can use the choke, but other than that, the map basically works AGAINST the things Junk wants to utilize environmentally. So much open space especially for point A. Junk thrives on enclosed spaces - and what works on one point, for any hero, may not work on a different one (or on the next round when you get swapped to attack or defend). But this map in general absolutely favors highground and off angling. If you don't want to hitscan, something that can brawl better than junkrat is a better choice most likely. Personally I've found torb fairly OP on volskaya defense on both points with certain turret spots. And yes those turrets are highground with a bit of cover, even doing crossfire, so that same concept Flats is talking about applies. Of course Torb doesn't always work especially if we lose point A quickly, then I swap to something else. Sorry for long-ish response, just thought you might want some more thorough explanation/recommendation or something.

[@quanked]

@@DyingBreed8 Junk on Volskaya isn't really good, there's not enough enclosed areas for him. Hitscan on Volskaya is strong. Junk is better saved for Anubis

The combo of roasting and coaching is honestly great. You telling them where to take angles and why is super helpful, but also roasting them for shooting themselves with a Helix brings the entertainment factor.

When he took high ground and popped off, I literally wanted to give the man a hug! That's the little gems in silver and bronze that will get you far.

[@ashenone689]

The problem with high ground in low ranks is partly because supports don't see you there, even if you spam healing button. And it's really develops this bad habbit.

[@itisnottaken4444]

@@ashenone689 true, but as a DPS on high ground, you should take note of health packs and peeling to support. If you manage the high ground effectively (especially as soldier) you won't need supports to use many resources keeping you alive.

[@ashenone689]

​@@itisnottaken4444 Yep, I totally agree with you. Just a teory, why this can be a thing.

[@PurpleMoon799]

[@Kurse_of_Kall]

I think this combination is perfect. Harkens back to Rag Tagg's "Toxic Coaching" series, which was wildly successful for a reason. You get the comedic and entertainment value of some salty roasting, but also there's some tips and advice in there as well, adding in some educational elements.

[@karamei]

I miss rag's toxic coaching so much. It was such a joy. His accent especially made the whole experience a wild hilarious ride.

[@yume5338]

11:24 as a low gold DPS him turning around made me shout "WHAT ARE YOU DOING GO UP GO UP"

[@coffeebean7512]

I definitely prefer the coaching centered ones. It’s quite helpful, plus entertaining because you can see where bad or good decisions lead to and how they effect the game. Good job on this one flats 👏👏❤️❤️

[@cycl10ps]

I think its nice to do a bit of coaching style videos along with the roasting style videos.

[@defenestrate7544]

I mean your teaching is still kind of a roast so however you wanna do it you're nailing it. I especially liked how you explained the key areas of Volskya 1st so thoroughly.

[@Lendon8]

I unironically feel like I learnt a lot from this. I think most people know high ground is important, but this helped so much with knowing why it is important

[@LOLBurger13]

This was really enjoyable, I really like the half roast half coaching approach. it helps idiots like me learn stuff while laughing at other idiots like me

[@4XeLLeNt]

I have to say, I enjoy these "spectated ..." Videos latey so much more than the first ones. That roasting was fun but i very much prefer the coaching content. You are doing such a great job in teaching in an entertaining way.

[@slowpr0]

You can have 2 separate series: Roasting Bronzes and Toasting Bronzes hahah

[@symbolik4372]

Do more coaching, with the roasting. You get both the educational and comedic value. When you did the video explaining Rein plays i learned quite a bit which improved my rein play a lot. Ill probably be better at soldier after watching this video. I honestly wish there were more videos like this put out to coach people on the game that doesn't sound like a seminar.

[@unfinishedsenten]

Love that you actually show examples and play them out with the camera. Not just saying "take high ground". I don't think many people understand what that actually means, or actually thinks it through. It kinda just goes in one ear and out the other. But actually showing specific spots for different situations, that's nice. If someone wasn't using them, well now they know. And after a while taking the high ground will become natural and spread over to other maps as well.. Probably..

[@Deflections]

This is impeccable, every video I watch feels like a puzzle piece I need to climb rank and honestly it's been pretty good.

[@LordSavion]

Actually learned quite a lot from this. I'll definitely follow more classes from Professor Flats.

[@mydude4860]

I think this blend of roasting and teaching is great. You still have the funny rants sometimes but it feels like there is useful advice (because to be honest, sometimes I don't know why they're being roasted in the pure roast versions). It also means the video isn't just constantly high energy roasts, so there is contrast and it makes the roasts themselves more impactful.

[@evansimmons5311]

Great vid Flats! That ending was golden the way high ground was hyped and used to win the game just like you said

This was one of the first videos I watched to get better at overwatch when I started playing a year ago. I was consistently low gold back then and now am usually diamond / high plat. It has been really rewarding to see the improvement.

[@westy1637]

Considering how a large portion of your viewers are in the bronze/silver ranks (myself included, sadly), having insight of a GM player in to mistakes made and ways to improve are super valuable. You even showed why certain spots are advantageous on both attack and defence. Insightful to be sure.

I enjoy the roasting ones. They're funny but I do really like coaching ones too because I'm new to playing Overwatch and fps games in general.
