Overwatch: When Respect turns into Fear

[@BrotherShaw]

"Consider only victory. Make defeat an impossibility in your mind." "A disciplined mind is your most dependable ally." Zenyatta. Chill *and* Wise.

[@euacredito]

than you remeber, zen made genji be a nice guy, and invite hanzo to overwatch. Fuck Zen

[@michalvalta5231]

Oh my... When you put it this way... I will never play him again! xD

[@davidrojas9668]

Brother Shaw Then you lose and you realize how bad you are. Rip.

[@sneakatchu]

This is great! Confidence and believing that you are better than the players in the lobby is great if you want to climb! As long as it doesn't lead you to underestimating your opponent, saying that every mistake/death is "unlucky" instead of trying to figure out what you could have done better to prevent it, toxicity in chat, blaming your teammates for every thing, and bragging about your gold damage medal when all you've been doing is shooting the Rein shield etc.

[@Spurros]

"...you are afraid of your future self" - that is some Jedi-like mind jazz going on there! Excellent.

[@Jackowammy]

This is frighteningly accurate, as this problem all the time in game and especially when I'm 1v1'ing my mates who are also really good at the game. When I 1v1 a random person I win 90% of the time because I'm chill about it, but when I verse my friends who I know are are a challenge I immediately start playing worse than normal BECAUSE of this!

[@alttiseppanen]

This is why i had better rank on my alt than my main s3.

[@alexg892]

SAME DUDE!!! Not ONCE did I care if I lost or gained SR, I just wanted to play ranked as DPS and better. My alt got to masters, but when I went back to my main I wasn't sure If I got lucky, If I could replicate this with my friends, if my friends even think I'm good enough to DPS for them, or If it was attributed to bad team mates on the enemy team. I kept doubting myself, and I still kinda do tbh. This video though, just lit the light bulb in my head to have the same mentality on my main as I do with my alt account.

[@iwatchyoutube6296]

I Grinded to 2480 , then got so scared of my last match to plat, I dropped back to 2400

[@crux6050]

i kinda did this by accident. I decided to main rhine and winston, and I knew i was better than the enemy rein as most reins (if we're being honest) only play rein to fill or because they feel they have to. so i went from high diamond to a career high of 4200. This explains why i flew up the ranks, as I was very aggressive towards the enemy

[@David-oc7ni]

Crux are you dead

[@Tachyon836]

A real easy cure is to believe that you yourself are much better than your opponent. Whenever I see a Master in a game, I always say to myself..." Time to prove that I don't belong in my rank, I'm gonna whip him and his team and we're gonna get a lot of SR doin it!"

[@abdulazizalsaif1937]

Beni Lol , I just did that and im fucking going to Grand master this season , no doubt

[@allotheabove123]

Its so frustrating that my college (which is where I spend the vast majority of my time) has the internet set up so that the VOICE CHAT is blocked. I can play just fine, but I can't communicate (or listen to teammates). I am confident in my skill that I have what it takes to reach Master. But not being able to communicate feels like a huge handicap sometimes. I was at home over Spring break and I climbed significantly in one night b/c of voice chat. When i can't talk I automatically feel alot less confident. I can still climb and I tend to win the majority of my games, but man does it feel much harder than I think it should be. Great video btw!

[@chriswilliam4123]

THIS is so freaking accurate. I am a diamond tier player and I indeed get scared of my enemies every now and then. Just yesterday I played from my friends account (2100 SR) and I was playing with no fear at all, mentally i knew I am better than the people in this match and I went 52-5 with soldier. Meanwhile on my own account, I am usually so scared I don't play DPS. Also, I thought winston sucks big time until I discovered XQC who reached top 500 by playing mostly just winston, that is when I told myself that its not the hero its me who doesn't know how to use it. After about a few hours of practice (knowing that its possible to win with him), I started dominating as winston and currently have a win rate of 61 percent with him. ioStux you are a true coach dude! I love your channel.

[@HDBlitzs]

Holy shit this is true on so many levels. When I reached GM I started getting scared of making plays on Genji. Because of this, I started thinking that my Genji was very bad because my performance was poor. I realized I was playing very scared when I deranked some and started playing with low masters. I ended up going for more plays and actually did very good again.

[@brain_of_britain9258]

This is what I need to climb! No fear! No respect!

[@reedsloan4028]

I'm Masters and I still feel this way haha, I choke so much from getting nervous. I'm a super shy person in real life too, but I think I'm GM material I just need to stop getting so nervous.

[@Guz579N]

Wow! I really lived through this in gold!!! That’s partly the reason of de ranking back to silver. Thank you!

[@bread8176]

One of my favorite OW youtubers just gave a shout out to my other favorite youtuber! ♥

[@lemoai380]

Kelson Ball lol same xD

[@Mark-xw5yt]

This is exactly what happened to me whenever I hit a new rank, and my aim that got me called a smurf multiple times while climbing dissapeared as I turned into a healbot, then wondering why I am losing

[@elwinlok5663]

These are some amazing tips, thanks a hell of a lot Iostux :D

[@alphaignus]

This video resonated with me, man. Thanks so much

[@bp060]

Im so glad i saw a New Video from you :)

Da haste recht!

[@Mailb0x1]

Act humble, be proud.

[@chairschair5633]

I gotta start listening to zennyatta voice lines more

[@GeneralGamingApple]

This seriously helped me. Ive been playing Rein all seasons (pretty much....) and its not because I wanted to, its because no one else plays him (atleast that is what it looks like in high diamond) and I had to take the bullet. Been practicing my aim and way of thinking as a DPS and I just played a couple of matches as a DPS, it felt wrong and naughty but it payed off, I really was the only one holding my self back thinking it was my teammates.... I feel so ashamed now, but I also feel good :"D

[@ioStux]

Glad I coul help =)

[@GeneralGamingApple]

Seriously, thanks for the help. Keep making those videos and Ill be sure to check them out! :D

[@ioStux]

Currently mainly focusing on the coaching business, but I have some Ideas for videos that may come in the future!

[@jeremymeyer1463]

I think the best thing for me was playing against Masters mcrees as genji in qp (I was in gold then lul), especially since it was qp because I could try whatever I wanted with no repercussions which taught me a lot about what you can get away with as genji so I can focus on the mechanics I need to take those risks

[@EsKaioS]

im watching this vid everytime i need motivation to play comp

[@slurpmonkey]

You just described me in the beginning lol I'm a diamond player with a smurf in gold and on my smurf I just pick symmetra and melt the whole enemy team and I don't even worry about taking fights such as a 1v3 because I can melt the enemies and they barely ever shoot me.

[@resurge6272]

thanks io this is what i needed as i just made master and ive been put into poor mindset.

[@solzsun]

You are on fire! But an extinguisher is not required.

[@olafdilios9047]

holy shit this is so scarry, this is exactly me, i used to be a diamond zen main, but i got into master in season 9, and now in season 10 i am in mid master and i am so scared about fucking everythng up for my team because it feels like everyone is very skilled and i am not shure if i can keep up consistently enought to keep the rank

[@IgaTenzen]

Thank you ....master !

[@jaymthegenius]

When the PTR had ranked I was Bronze and was afraid of their Silvers but I beat a Silver Sym as Mercy. In Capture the Flag on Sunday there was this really good Diamond Widow and some Platinums on their team but I supported my team as Zarya (we had some Golds) and did really well and even got the second most damage only to our Junkrat and gold eliminations.

[@jaymthegenius]

Capture the Flag even during peak hours has bad matchmaking but if you pull through you can still do good.

[@duncanmckenzie4770]

Boston Badass Hugh Jass ummmm, there is no comp ctf

[@ioStux]

Thanks :"D

[@Nthryy]

I don't really respect my team mates but most of the time I do because my sr was 3993 but then I went on a losing streak and lost 700sr but now I'm getting back to master 3430sr

[@SnappySanad]

b-but.. I can't have confidence when I'm genji or tracer trying to kill the supports but the enemy has a Torb 😃

[@vid1500]

zen is now my favourite hero

[@roieperez8355]

great video man

[@FalconFetus8]

I watched this right after your tilt video, which says to keep your expectations low. WHICH IS IT?

[@ioStux]

My video this friday will probably clear that up a little =)

[@donbasuradenuevo]

inb4, team gets 6 fragile flankers.

[@simplyexplained875]

My alt is in Masters, my main is in Bronze (both PC). Any advice besides these points (they were very helpful!)?

[@supremebohnenstange4102]

and theres me who just plays wayy to risky :D

[@lame999_]

Easy for IDDQD to say, he is the best.

[@MalcolmBlk]

Well I don't get it. In your video about tilt you say we should stop setting high expectations, in your confident humility video you say there should be a balance between confidence and humility, but here you say we should have "the confidence of a god", watch pro-players and expect that "if he can do it I can too" - i.e. expecting to be able to win. So which is it? Should we have expectations or no? Should we be confident like some god or balanced?

[@lazi21]

So what is the difference to your video about tilt where you talk about having no expectations when wanting to perform well?

[@scaltra6709]

I would imagine the idea is to have no expectations outside of your own performance. You should push yourself and if you loss take that loss on the chin and learn what you could have done better. Have the confidence in your own play to believe that you can defeat your opponent but do not blame your team or get upset when you loss. The idea is to not have expectations as expectations lead to tilt because of entitlement.

[@GamingVasta]

I take every thing what zenyatta says serious. He is a real gangster. Ho smokes weed

[@GamingVasta]

This one is a rare one. "Passion is the best weapon". I geus he means you cant play a hero that you don't like

[@GamingVasta]

My brother told me that it can be. "Patience is a great weapon".

[@nathansarti6995]

Doesn't this contradict your forcing video... in that video you say not to take risks, but in this video we need to take risks?

[@ioStux]

There is a difference between performing and practicing. If you want to perform, then you don't take risk, you always go for the most consistent play available. However If you need experience and practice to know what play is the most consistent, and the only way to find that out is to test your limits. Imagine you being a Pro player. in your Scrimms and Practice Matches you would take alot of risks and try out new strats, but in Tournaments you are only going to do what has proven itself in the practice.

[@V3RT1CAL]

Mic drop

[@z0lid]

Some of your videos are very dark, i understand this can be on purpose, but it is kinda annoying tbh. At least for me. Maybe im the minority idk.
