[@sith6375]

this was quite possibly one of the most interesting videos you've made to date. Seeing you pull up the replay after the fact and talk about your decision making was also quite interesting and helpful.

[@Summonick2]

First minute, he’s talking about playing up on bridge as Ana, and I’m like.. ok as long as he makes sure to leave before a widow or something peaks him. Instantly glassed by widow haha

[@MyCommentsRMaturelol]

I hate it. SOOOO much

[@wasabebo8334]

I like how widow can oneshot across the map peak hero design

[@FlamingNinjaBoi]

@Nexahexaflexa You can't predict a hitscan oneshot with immos, and rezz is liable to get the Mercy killed because, like, the Widow just shoots her, too. Widow is a terrible character, tbh. She's in the category of characters that would serve the game better if they were simply removed entirely.

[@manh-haimuller6027]

It's just bad luck if you get instant locked on! Awkward was a little unlucky and he saw widow too late! It happens to the best!!!

[@FantasyFantasy934]

@Nexahexaflexathe problem with widoe is that she gets auto value just being afk. Ur doing badly on dps? Swap to widow. Fuck this character, trash design

[@blanejohnson4050]

Your mentality is perfect for improving. This is why if you listen to awkward you WILL rank up 100%

[@縣]

60% of the time, you MIGHT rank up 100% every time

yeah, i'll be silver soon, so not working for everyone, this game just isn't for me

[@blanejohnson4050]

@@alexandruconstantin4655could be possible. But if you hold yourself instead of others accountable for games you will improve your individual skill. I went from plat to peaking t40. It took me 6 or so seasons. No one wants to put in the time but it’s unavoidable if you want to improve

[@zave598]

I try playing like him but I cant aim and then get games where Im constantly dove and my teammates dont help me kill the guys constantly diving me

Nothing boring about taking good angles, good positioning, and dealing damage while doing some healing.

[@TiaraAtari]

I’m not going to hold you. This is one of your best videos to date. This is better than any of your U2GM videos because it’s simple and concise. I loved it.

[@tracergod0756]

I love that whenever I feel as if I've hit a plateau in terms of decision making and uptime in a fight, Awkward makes me reconsider that and he demonstrates a large range of new things I can take notes of and apply in my own games. Keep up the amazing educational videos Awkward ❤️👍

This is probably your most sane and helpful video yet. I like that precise instance of your mentality

[@ramonzit]

these games are a piece of art. the movement, the rotations, the usage of cover, everything was sooo well played.

[@Johnnymagnet92]

I cant believe how different it is watching a GM2 game vs my silver games. Your team mates actually look like they know what they're doing XD

[@DillonMW]

The real challenge is to start in bronze and climb to GM now. It would be way harder than an unranked to GM haha.

[@Johnnymagnet92]

@DillonMW Definitely right there. There's a bit of saying around the Awkward community: "It's not your team mate's fault". I beg to differ, the amount of times I've seen a tank or dps throw the game from stupidity numbers in the hundreds now. I don't mind on QP, cos people go there to try different heroes and tactics, but if you're gonna play comp, know what you're doing. That being said, I approach each game as if everything is going to be my fault.

[@DillonMW]

@@Johnnymagnet92 Don’t get me wrong, I do make some mistakes, but not enough for it to be the sole reason I’m hard stuck. I also don’t play a ton of games per season which could be an issue on climbing as well.

[@Johnnymagnet92]

@DillonMW Bro we all make mistakes 😵‍💫. Sometimes I do some proper dumb shit. Yeah, I don't play ranked too much really to climb tbh, I have too many other things I do with my life. It ain't a big deal. It would just be nice too play with team mates who have a better understanding.

[@DillonMW]

@@Johnnymagnet92 For real. I does feel awesome when you finally get a good team that uses VC and the vibes great. Even if it’s a good game and a loss. Haha

[@Shazamgoatee]

A tip on Ana is when you are reloading halfway through the animation on the bottom right of the screen when it shows you’re back to full ammo melee to cancel the animation so you can start shooting again

[@rayz188]

placebo its not faster

[@sefer-nv6cn]

You'd still do melee damage right

[@SSsevenx]

@@sefer-nv6cn you would still do melee damage, but the reload isn’t any faster

[@jordanhaliday295]

I really liked the format of this video. Chill delivery of thought process in the moment, reflecting after game, highlighting the fundamental takeaways, no flaming, very refreshing. I'm still not sure what you meant by the title of the video.

[@sesshonuyasha]

that xenoblade track in the background is a worthy side dish to the main course OW training

[@Tpep]

Random vid for me to post it but you made a post about not being satisfied being stuck in the same rank. That it would be better to lose and learn more than to stay stuck forever at the same rank. I went only Winston for a couple weeks dropped to silver and got up to diamond so thanks for the advice that led to my highest rank!

[@mercilesschara5753]

i started this game out in gold and have floated there for about a month, (yes i'm that new, no im not an fps player, no i'm not bragging.) This video already helped me get a crapload more damage and healing without sacrificing one or the other on ana and zen!

[@elijahmorrow1984]

even when i do alright in a ranked game, i very often have teammates who INSTANTLY die sometimes even before the fight even starts, every single fight, how am i supposed to rank up if i am consistently having teammates like that

[@potionmaster6927]

Make a new account, get placed and if ur above ur rank then ur good and if ur not then self reflect

[@wicked5999]

Because if it happens consistently on your team, it's happening consistently on the enemy team as well. Enemy team has 5 chances of having a bad player/thrower, your team has 4 chances of a bad player. If you are good and never throw. If you can't climb, you are one of the bad players

[@thrice5560]

the first suggestion starting there makes sense even then, because the lower-level widow would probably not have made that shot so you're safe.

[@nocutthroatsthere6250]

She would, and this position is very bad for Ana anyway. Its just my opinion as consistent t500/tournament support by myself

[@MyCommentsRMaturelol]

People throw games by trying t o get 1 percent ult charge and dying. In low ranks everyone will follow you and not rotate out. Fastest way to lose first point.

Asking because of the music in the vid (though Ig it might all be the editor), but Awkward do you follow/know anything about the FGC or smash scenes?

[@mousetrap4751]

awkward, i have a question. why didnt you use your tranq to save your doom at 14:57? thanks!

[@wicked5999]

even if you tranq doom has to leave your ult do to anything, so if the idea is to heal him why do it with an ultimate when he has to wait around to be healed anyways. Even if doom was full hp, the enemy has a major positional and resource advantage and you wouldn't be able to contest either way. The bot stops at the checkpoint, which they're only a few seconds away from reaching, so there's no reason to invest resources and take a fight at a disadvantage
