[@ZibboTheGreat]

In this video you talk about how engis are only good if their teams are supporting them. But outside of your pybro video, you haven't really talked much about how your teammates can support an engineer. How does a heavy help an engi keep his nest up in the heat of battle? How can a sniper support their engi? This would be a really helpful topic to cover for a lot of non engi mains who watch your videos.

[@amittenforkitten7016]

here are a few more tips for engie: At first place your sentry at a place that it will still be useful but not get as many hits off. then, upgrade it then use sentry jump to get over to a place and the rescue ranger to pick it up. then place it down. or you could walk over there if you want to take a risk and don't have either of the weppons required to do that or the skill. Also, make sure to place the sentry at a surprising place so when they walk by it they won't see it and die. a good place for this would be behind a wall so when they go past that wall the sentry Is there. it could be behind a wall to where they would be going forward and the sentry would be behind them and kill them, but a place like that is hard to find. also, always place the sentry to where it can hit anywhere that things can hit it.

[@niloydx5553]

that was just for a experimental purpose I guess

[@Chr0n0s38]

Getting a bunch of kills is not the same as being successful. You can kill almost the entire enemy team by their spawn, but if a spy slips through and spy caps were you successful? Picking off enemies with low health away from the point doesn't stop enemies with more health from winning, and you're weakening your team by removing your sentry, and your own shotgun.

[@balintkurucz7245]

About teleporters: You said that we should place them in a passive position (4:59), but in my opinion, if you can sneak behind the frontline, and find a relatively safe place near the enemy base, that teleport can be a big suprise against the enemy. A good suprise teleport spot is on Granary. I always managed to go behind the frontline, and placed the teleport literally inside their base building, hidden between the missiles. You just have to be lucky enough to not go in the building when an enemy just respawned.

[@ipressedon9289]

As a rule of thumb, it should be a bit passive. However, there are exceptions to nearly every rule. If you can make a good sneaky teleporter that leaves the enemy team with their pants down, do so. Of course, such opportunities to do a ninja-teleporter are kind of rare.

[@doommaker4000]

Never heard if Ninjaneering?

[@serPomiz]

ninjaneering work only for short bursts of time: sneaking teleport behind the enemy line usually works if done in the correct window of opportunity, and that leaves lesseffective positon for a teleporter. building another teleporter in the same place right after your previus goes down is not gonna work

[@prexot2341]

1:14 The biggest thing I learned from this is that "agress" is a verb

[@seven4221]

You're making a pretty common mistake, Dane. You stand on the teleporter exit. A spy could come through it at any time (except setup time lol).

[@UncleDane]

I'm more likely to get stabbed with my back exposed than to get telefragged by a Spy. So I prefer to put my back against a wall, even if it means standing on my teleporter for a few seconds. To be honest, I can't even remember the last time I was telefragged by a Spy.

[@justmovedin]

Uncle Dane I like to keep turning around between every swing while not standing on the teleporter to maximise safety against spies.

[@zjpeterson]

In my experience, getting telefragged by a spy is so rare that it's almost not worth thinking about. I'll only be cautious of it while I'm removing a sapper.

[@ladyinwight]

i'm really unlucky, i'm always cautious of being telefragged so i circled around the teleporter and look behind me when im building it, but nearly every occasion that i decide to stand on it i get telefragged

[@Stoatshine]

Holy hell, I'm in this one. I'm right there at 8:48, the pyro circling around to see what the sentry was firing at. This is like an out of body experience. Speaking as that pyro, here's another note on that topic: listen what friendly buildings are up to. If you here them taking damage or the sentry targeting something, you know where foes are. If you listen to the sounds of combat, you can tell where and what's going on without even being there. I've seen players way, way better than me forget that.

[@acrazyguy14]

Even after well over 1000 hours in this game, I still feel like I learn something from these videos.

[@zp6182]

Do a 'How to torbjorn'. Oh wait. That vid will last 45 seconds.

[@SinisterPixel]

To be fair it may be the fact that I was an Engi main too, but Torb players in Quickplay bug me endlessly with obvious bad decisions and the likes.

[@zp6182]

While engie has a respectable skill ceiling, torb is just a bad character that needs to be reworked completely imo.

[@SinisterPixel]

Junnn H I mean if you think about the very nature of Overwatch, Torb's character design is very clever. He's essentially an Engineer built to work in fast moving environments. His actual design, being short too is pure genius since it means a Torb can quickly figure out a Turret's line of site since they're just as tall as him. I thinbk what you've got to remember is that while TF2 is a more tech heavy game in terms of skill ceiling, a lot of Overwatch comes down to movement and situational awareness, as well as team coordination. Having said that I don't play a whole lot of Torb soooo.

[@TheFrantastic]

@@zp6182 Guess what, he has been reworked.

[@trentn2443]

Thank you for posting on my birthday, Uncle Dane. You are the best Engine main.

[@sandrabuttaci258]

y'see, this is why I'm a medic main. All dis strategic placement is too much for my peanut-sized brain. Its much nicer to have someone be your bodyguard while you help them rip babies to shreds.

[@somemadman262]

too tru

[@fattytan1377]

Sadly not much medics exist

[@rubberbullets8859]

I love the intro and outro music and love the content keep up the good work

[@Firemaster102]

Hey, If you want nice practice with leaving your base to be destroyed, go on Saxton Hale or Freak Fortress 2 servers. You'll Have to leave your base behind if you wanna live & have a chance at beating the Hale. & as a Sniper main, I've learned to pick my fights(Well, the people come to you so, I just do my best to deal with it).

[@TheWizardOfSand]

6:43 y'know i gotta say your friend Lady Stanger has got a point there and I 100% agree

[@alanbareiro6806]

Holy shit! B4nny senpai noticed you!

[@tptlast876]

[@SeriouslySolid]

"Ween."

[@xenofazoli4308]

6:43 Ween

3:47 is where the friendly engi makes a big mistake. He put his sentry practically right in front of yours, which is not very good seeing as this means that they can be shot down with relative ease or handled with splash damage, and they aren't shooting from multiple directions to confuse the enemy or prevent them from handling your builds as quickly. You're burning this knowledge in my BRAIN! Not to mention, a tip that is universally know and correct me if I'm wrong, but don't throw your level one sentry right into enemy fire. First of all, putting your building in enemy fire is never a good decision as they have to build starting from low HP until slowly reaching their max (slightly higher start if you're using the gunslinger) which is easily reversable by being rapidly damaged. And for those who don't know, projectiles and weapons damage your sentry, and when you're being shot at there are a *lot of projectiles flying towards you AND your sentry!* Not to mention, most enemies are fully aware of what a level 3 sentry is capable of. 2 miniguns firing with perfect aim, and 4x as much damage as a stock Soldier's rocket for anyone slow enough to be hit with the sentry's rocket attack. This means that the enemies will tend to prioritize any sentry that isn't a mini. Pulling out your Wrangler is also never a good idea if you throw your unbuilt sentry out into enemy fire. If- *JUST IF!*- your sentry manages to fully build while *NOT BEING BOOSTED BY YOUR WRENCH*, you'll have a more effective sentry with faster firing speed and more overall health. But there are also several reasons not to do this! First of all it will build slower when not being boosted by your wrench, because your wrench cannot be used at the same time as the Wrangler. This means that your sentry is building slower, not being healed, and also not being able to automatically lock to and damage the enemy that could be killed in the off-chance that you're abled to fully build it under enemy fire. Also, enemies know how powerful a Wrangled sentry is. Enemies know the basics too! This will likely lead to your sentry being prioritized the moment the enemies see you pull out your Wrangler (also only 1 enemy has to see this for the whole team to be prioritizing your gun, there's always voice chat to allow someone to yell "That engi's using the Wrangler, get his sentry!" to quickly get the whole team to end your sentry with relative ease and haste.) **very deep inhale** I think Uncle Dane has altered my thought process *THIS COMMENT SOUNDS LIKE IT'S COPY PASTED FROM UNCLE DANE CAPTIONS*

[@edenontheair4168]

ankle dan, if ur team keeps taking metal paks when u need them, what do u do???

[@ALegendthateatslunchatam]

B4nny lives in US,so that cant be wrong.

[@sansgaming7613]

kick them for being a assat

[@ultrawinggaming9764]

Tell your team to stop taking ammo packs, say "i need it to make a dispenser that can literally save your life"

[@godspeed_3122]

Ultrawing Gaming lol I did that

[@Manglet762]

Vote to kick them.

[@yowasup7072]

OH MY GOODNESS THE FRONTLINES THING IS THE BEST WAY TO EXPLAIN A KIND OF "STALEMATE" LINE WHEN PLAYING ATTACK/DEFENSE SITUATIONS

[@Ze_Medic]

skillful to walk away? no, I can just turn around and press w, no skill....

[@nobgs4505]

Ze Medic You don't know how many engies are too dedicated to their buildings. If you run while you still can, you can potentially avoid a useless death and start building where you next need to much quicker. Those respawn times can mean the difference between victory and defeat.

[@maplemaple1439]

Ze Medic what you said is the stupidest thing to do, especially as a weak class like medic. In most cases, backpedaling is good, run backwards that way you can keep track of enemies and apply pressure, even if it's just some needles, it's even better as pyro as you can airblast projectiles to slow them down. Although you still want to backpedal in unpredictable ways, that was a spy or sniper can't get you by suprise

[@mateuszodrzywoek8658]

Surprise... BUTTSECKS! **stab**

[@Winn0wed]

Recently managed to get 7 dominations and 37 kills (13 assists) on a single sentry gun on 2fort with only a single soldier backing me up against what was the majority of the enemy team and a plethora of ubers, bosons, direct hits and pills and this video still helped thanks ankle dayen
