Flats: Do you not have headphones?!?!?! No, I'd argue lots of folks in lower ranks don't use them despite the massive advantage. The amount of games I'm in where folks literally do not seem to realize footsteps are both distinct and very loud, giving players the ability to determine who's coming at them and from where, is astounding. Literally watched my team's Roadhog in a POTG the other night just come stomping around the back end of a point, seemingly no reaction to the Brig who just got wrecked for going in 1v5, and the Orisa who just killed the Brig spins her spear and just shoves him off the back of the point.

[@Narwarlock]

I do own headphones, its just difficult for me to recognize the audio cues over the amount of visual information presented, sorry for being a little retarted

[@phoenixflamegames1]

@@Narwarlockit also depends on how sensitive your ears tbf. If you get visually overloaded it’s kinda normal you don’t hear everything. It’s because you aren’t focused on the sound but visuals. It’s perfectly fine not to hear everything, it just takes some time and conditioning.

[@JayRM_]

My biggest suggestion for Crunch is to not look away from a team fight if you're trying to fall back. Learn to walk backwards while firing shots. There's also the option of mining yourself backwards and dropping a trap right as you launch yourself. It's crazy how many people will focus so much on shooting you out of the sky, that they step on the trap you dropped as you mine away.

He said that he has been playing since 2017, so he's been playing for 6 years at least. That's more than enough time to get a few golden guns. I would be more surprised if he didnt have at least 1 or 2 golden guns after playing for 6 years.

[@pud469]

This feels like my games, but with less random Junkrat balls. For some reason the opposing Junkrat, manages to hit 2 angles that billard pros didn't know exist. The entire ball clip spammed into nowhere, but the last 2 somehow take 2 different angles right into my face.

[@Clashmaster6]

Trust me Flats, I hate it here more than you do. Yes, I'm a shitty silver/bronze player for all 3 roles and sadly with the season 9 reworks, my games are fucking HARD to compete with. I feel like everyone else suddenly got better and I got worse. Yes I haven't really played since halfway through the last season, but even then I could manage most of my games, now its a fight just to even be able to do something. I really enjoy this game and watching you has made me excited to play more but I sadly can't keep up with a lot of enemy team players. Like I was doing my tank placements the past two days and lost my first 6 because I could not keep up with the enemy tank/team at all. And yes, I do suck but before it seemed way more manageable than it is now, and I feel a lot more losses in my future. Now for the record, I never blame my teammates at all, I never shit on them or tell them they suck etc, unfortunately I am usually the brunt of that attention, always being called out etc, usually the only one who does too. Which is fine, I don't ever admit I'm a good player because I'm not. I just feel for this season lower players are now having to try twice as hard just to even climb, or somehow I'm getting better players against me when I shouldn't, or I just actually suck more than I think I do. Anyway, sorry for the rant, love the content, keep up the good work, and I'll do my best to keep enjoying the game~

[@josephsamuel193]

Hey, the reason your are struggling this season is because you are playing with better players. After the season 9 update blizzard reset everyones ranked rating and push everyone closer to gold, which means lower ranked players like yourself got pushed up too. I was gm 3 in all three roles last season, but after doing my placement this season I got placed diamond 1. So don't beat yourself up in a few months the better players will get placed into their correct rank which would make your game easier to climb

[@19firestarter]

22:27 "Do you see something boy?" Lol

[@Paralysis.d3mon]

This vid reminds me of my tank placement match, where I had a dps who did 70 damage throughout the entire game, and supports who only healed me when i was below 200 hp, ive been hard-stuck plat for the past few seasons

[@kopii1600]

I just finished my game playing Tracer, I felt like I was bad, thank God flats upload this. Now I don't feel so bad anymore

[@eulalawrence841]

That Junkrat spawn trap makes me laugh everytime, not because it's completely impractical and dumb, but the fact as a diamond player I see this everyday. I play with my brother-in-law, who's also diamond and a Junkrat main, and he gets a solo elim doing that at least every other game. I think the main reason it works is because people don't like to stand near the door during initial spawn, so they don't see/hear the trap being placed. Also because people just straight up have zero awareness when coming out because no one thinks they're going to accidentally feed in the first three seconds of the game starting.

[@_sm00thi3]

NEW FLATS SPECTATING BRONZE/SILVER FINALLY WE'VE BEEN WAITING FOR MONTHS :D

[@thebl4ckd0g]

as a junkrat main. I know the sounds. You can literally hear him drop the trap at spawn door. I will let teammates know. But you don't know how many people I've seen ignore the warning and just step right into the trap. Instead of going out top or right on this 1st map... :(

[@fettuccine148]

A lot of lower ranks don't use audio or they have something going in the background that drowns out game audio. It's what I do when I'm not trying. In like arcade or quick play I'll just blast music and not really pay attention to game audio

[@sorasarielcl]

[@Προμηθεύς-β1β]

As a Junk main, I think it's still relatively uncommon. Hitting people in the air with the follow up grenade shot is super satisfying and also can't be dodged by the opposition, so aim should be the focus. That being said, I think most people's aim is pretty mid, just look at what the devs did with the most recent update.
