Overwatch: Why You’re BAD at Main TANK! - Git Gud Guide

[@YourOverwatch]

Today it's the main tanks who get the 'git gud guide' treatment. This is actually a very hard role to learn properly but have no fear, Freedo brings the heat in a guide that you'll be able to use as a resource to continually draw reference from whenever you need it. Hope you enjoy!

[@astrodeath1322]

[@Zathren]

Could we send in a game where we won but we got hard carried? Nothing makes me feel worse after a Comp game than knowing I couldn't do much top help my team.

[@thewinner8346]

You guys' "We're ALL trash at Overwatch" is extremely flawed and false on many points.

[@yoshitheonly]

Can you do a video explaining why Tanks get gold damage/kills so often? My friend gets salty and complains about the DPS while tanking after he gets gold damage. I do it as well and I know why I do but can't explain it nor can I explain why he shouldn't hold it against the DPS.

[@omer7895]

Do you accept console gameplay ?

[@underdog3784]

Tip to make your videos better: at the end of long videos like this, you should end it by briefly restating all the main points you made ( use lucio, get value out of bubble, don’t charge in and die, etc.) so that we don’t forget what you said. I’ll end the video, and next time I play ranked I can’t remember what the video said, and it’d help if I could fast forward to the end and see a summarized list of the main points rather than watching the whole thing again. Thanks guys keep up the good work👌.

Personal Rein tips that helped me out 1. Earthshatter is expendable just use it, even just shattering like two people isn't that bad 2. Give your barrier some breaks, putting it up for even a millisecond will reset the recharge timer, don't keep flashing it for no reason 3.charge, although not useless, is something that should be used very conservatively 4. Don't firestrike genjis 5. Be on comms and tell your team when your pushing or pulling back 6.dont let your barrier break

[@evanfanara8420]

@JeremyCuddles well true but Reinhardt gets so many shatters compared to most heroes he can really just throw them around and not have to worry about getting a 4 or 5 man one

[@alexcleveland4711]

So long as Dva isn't eating your firestrikes, earthshatter is one of the fastest charging ultimate in the game. I have no problem with shattering 2-3 people because most likely you will kill them, and if not you get it up again so quickly its not a huge loss.

I was the Rein on blizzard world, I feel like that was one of my more important matches as far as learning the game. Also my first exposure to GOATS was in that match. Looking back at it, my shield management was atrocious.

[@eliseoandrade162]

Yes really bad shield managing. Not commiting. Not charging ever I think and missing every fire strike if I had 2 guess your sens is too high or too low. Always try and only fire strike enemy rein. Its hard 2 miss him and most of the time you hit more people behind him. Dont shoot it unless you know what you're hitting. Hope you keep on improving!

[@joehales6153]

I totally agree I can imagine that it is difficult to come up with original inventive ideas but it's more down to blizzard wanting to subvert expectations when they could just focus on making a new hero with a cool kit Take home for example There was no need to make him a hamster absolutely no need the game would have just a much playability and meta I'd the had made him a baby gorilla in the mech But no they decided that they will make him a hamster for no reason other than "Hahaha hamster ball do you get it jeff, do you get it" Like they seem to spend way to much time on expectation subversion and it ends up having an impact of n game experience

[@paladinsrage4646]

*Read this and I’ll explain;* _Okay if you main tank or off-tank YOU need to understand you can’t play the same at diamond as you would in masters or in gold as you would in plat. You need to adapt a little bit as team coordination is different as so is everything else._ _These lowers SR games you won’t get the healing you’d like, you probably don’t know when to peel or when to push. There is a catch, take control; if you are rein as for zarya bubble and try to enable her by enabling yourself. These low ranks you need to use bubble for charge and typically not for saving people. You also can’t be as aggressive due to healing but remember; they have around the same healing as you... and the same damage._ _Higher sr is more healing and more damage. In lower SR you must get your team to try and work with you and you must shot call. Because having your team try and work it matters a lot. Now teams don’t exactly work at all in anything under high gold. You should just be able to play dps in these ranks a climb super easily through just time and practice on fragging._ _Its really hard to try and give advice in low ranks as they are so chaotic, but my best advice is to tell your teammates to say hold bubble for YOU and call when you need it. Also, as I stated the easiest way to climb low ranks is just dps and frag out and carry games up to where you want._ _Once you hit around mid plat you’ll get games where people play together (as stated you’ll get games, not every game) and you can start playing for space and picks. Also, if you have a numbers advantage please please please don’t be a wuss and play as a team and work to finish and secure the fight. If you get picks and just wait your literally throwing your advantage away._ _Just because you get picks doesn’t mean you can’t lose._

[@rikkuyako7869]

I always See You Comment and I Must Say you're Knowable abt Lower Ranks especially this Which is Very True it Seems You Played alot at Lower Sr But Your Top 500 Do You Smurf alot? or Did You Have to Grind the Hard Grind to Understand Lower Sr Mentality?

[@paladinsrage4646]

Rikku yako *No, I have friends who are at lower ranks. Plus I am at fault for boosting a friend up to gm from gold. It wasn’t a planned thing though.*

[@paladinsrage4646]

Rikku yako *Here let me add on;* _I also have a good amount of time on console, nowhere near my pc time but I’ve experienced that... Blizzard doesn’t care about console at all and I feel bad for those who still play on it. On console the lowest I was, was high plat and the amount of leavers and throwers was extensive. It was harder to actually climb on console then on pc... plus on pc I can just play widow and get pocketed and completely carry games._

[@FeedMeSalt]

Sadly this isnt true. One smurf equals many. As a support main smurfing isnt even noticable, but when a widow from my elo gets into a smurf game with my friends it's over. And that's 4 outa ten games on average. They will have more dmg then you. Or more healing. Or something. A fair game is rare very rare. Hence the coin flip.

[@paladinsrage4646]

FeedMeSalt _I totally agree, it’s always a coin flip but YOU are the only constant. That’s why when I did smurf I wasn’t on tank or off-tank. I can absolutely carry games with zarya but widow is just easier. It’s the reason why I did that, not all roles are the same but it’s like a full circle. Tanks create space and opportunity and enable the dps, and the supports; support and enable the tanks and the dps; and through picks the dps enable the entire team. At least that the idea, when I was down in plat boosting my friend (I’ve never been lower, and my friend that was gold was high gold.) I ofc was that widow that you’d see, but like 4 in 10 games? Like I guess I’m confused about your elo; as are you the one smurfing to play with your friends, and someone who is also smurfing from your elo absolutely decimates your team. That’s at least what I’m understanding; which if it’s what your saying I agree completely. A masters widow can even destroy a team in diamond._

To be fair, the Rein on Hanamura that pins at 24:43 was a victim of Overwatchs wonky geometry. He pins the enemy Zen through TWO doorways, sliding around the walls like he's covered in hot butter. Might not have been a good pin to begin with, but I can't even count how many times one of my pins that looked good at first ended up backfiring cause of the game's weird ass geometry.

[@SophieFox947]

Tanks are the most difficult to play in OW. DPS? Just stay alive in a place where you can kill things, and get multikills with your ult. Healer? Just stay alive in a place where you can heal your allies, and don't use two defensive ults at the same time. Tank? Make sure to stay with your team (no matter where the fuck they go), coordinate with your team (no matter how much they flame), make sure your team stays alive while staying alive yourself, save your healers, fight the enemy tanks, stay in front, charge your ult and use it wisely.

[@rjtennis1963]

I'm A tank main and you are greatly simplifying other roles to make tanks seem like the hardest role like you could easily apply "go with the team no matter where the fuck they go coordinate with your team no matter how much they flame, make sure your team stays alive while keeping yourself alive, and charge your ult and use it wisely" all to the healer role

[@rjtennis1963]

And every dps doesn't just "get multi kills with ults" sym for example can win a fight for her team with a good shield and Ashe can get value with a bob who gets no kills as long as it creates space and takes focus off your team there is many more examples ,also dps has to protect healers too

[@shmarfle47]

Also, my team has cooldowns and health as well, so even if I'm back to full it doesn't mean they will be. I'll probably win more fights now.

[@musik-ym8rk]

27:00 that ana sleep darts tho amazong how she always gets the enemy rein

[@StrimClocks]

Basic advice: Rein? you need a Lucio Winston? Use bubble after jump Orisa? Keep running and throwing down shields until the other team gets sick of chasing you and you can shoot them all in the back Now, the answer you really have give me is how do I stop my team from acting like a bunch of cats and doing their own thing? How do I actually get them to follow me and a plan rather than just trying to frag and getting pwned?

[@johnnymeans8043]

Use LFG, make sure they have mics, and have pub profiles so you know what they play.

[@amchound]

As a main tank player I either see Rein’s play to aggro or too passive. A quicktip to get past a choke is shield hop. Throw shield jump and push forward/repeat while communicating with your team. Don’t keep your shield up for too long and let it get melted in the choke with spam. As monkey your priority targets are low health enenies and supports then squishies. Plan ahead when your diving in and where your gonna dive out while making sure your in your supports line of sight; also, communicate with your D.va or Hamster on who you are diving so they can back you up. Orisa is mostly played like a passive tank but you can play agro with her you just have to make sure your other tank is near you or can peel for you if you get focused on. Also, shiekd CD management is a must so throw/use your shields wisely. Mainly just throw shield to protect yourself or near the middle of a team fight to have it act like a Symm ult.

[@amchound]

Hector, yeah I hear ya. Playing main tank can be a lot of fun and a nightmare at the same time. Since Rein and Winston are the main tanks that are used the most often it just comes down to having your team follow up on what your doing. If you have an Ana on your team have her nanoboost you and call for it when your ready. A nanoboosted Rein or Winston is a good way to be agro and blitz the enemy team. What I usually do is communicate with my other tank and main support. Those two are the most important if your the main tank. If the DPS or off healer aren’t communicating then it’s not the end of the world. On Hybrid maps and 1st point assault maps on attack a Lucio speedboast as the off healer is a super asset to have when your the main tank. So, at the start of the match you can atleast try and ask if the off healer can go Lucio for the reason I mentioned.

[@TheKennyDubz]

Out of curiosity I thought about submitting some games as well but I had 2 questions. Can we send in games of games where we win as well? Are we able to send in games from our streams? I wondered about the first question since usually Freedo says to send in games we lose but I think we can still learn from victories as well since you could still make some silly mistakes in games you win or what you might have done that assisted in facilitating a successful push. The second question is more so due to also being a content creator so just about all games I'd have recorded would have a layout of some kind.

[@Avatarrealm]

I'm a 24-7 off tank, thats why I am bad at main tank. I can't play like Reinhart/Winston using DVA and my teammates don't understand that.

[@maximbiscop4451]

I get that rein might be a stretch but Winston and dva play really similarly. as dva you dive target to get a kill and get back to support the heal. same for Winston. mobilitywise they are the same the only difference lies in the way a bubble and dmatrix are used.I think playing dva is more forgiving than playing Winston, but dva is a more intricate roll imo so transitioning should not be to difficult if you were to practice for a couple of hours

[@shadowstorm9363]

From xperience in lower rank I can say that in lower rank rien is like moira I mean like how moira runs out of juice in the middle by constantly healing, like that rien presses M2 till that rectangle breaks and hopefully they wish have won the fight by then Also Lucio is super under-rated in lower elo 4 some reason

[@jacoblaramore4346]

Personally, I don't believe it's a requirement to have a high sensitivity on main tank with a few conditions... 1) You have a large enough mouse pad 2) You are comfortable with your sensitivity that you know if you turn 'blank' that it will put your screen in 'blank' direction, so basically good control with it. I run Winston and Reinhardt at 4.10 sensitivity with 900 DPI, and it works pretty well for me. Most main tank players use something drastically higher, but it's personal preference. I also think that there's such a thing as running a sensitivity too high on main tank. For example, players who may freeze up or panic end up trying to jump in one direction but fly in another because of how little movement it may take for them to move where they want to go. If you have low fps, having a sensitivity very high would make it even harder to track targets than having a sensitivity too low. That being said, the clip at 10:01 contains weak ties to the claim that his "sensitivity was too low" and that "he couldn't track the Lucio perfectly because of that." To begin with, the player's tracking, in general, was already bad, and it consisted of weird flick movements. Looking closely at 10:31, the player does end up turning, but it seemed like he didn't know how much to turn in the first place, and he didn't properly predict where the Lucio would end up after jumping and turning. While it is very possible that the player could have performed better in that instance with a higher sensitivity, I don't feel that the clip really illustrated the claim as strongly as it should have.

As a Rein main I struggle on deducing when it’s good to use my shield to push forward with my team or hold the line. However those moments when we do commit are legendary and our coordination usually gets us a wipe. This is why I love Rein, he takes a good bit of setup and teamwork, but when it’s time to go in he absolutely bodies everything.

Somewhat unrelated, but it's quite baffling what many players think on how Rein should be played: I had a Zarya last night that said he's keeping his bubble for me but I'm not charging in. After a small discussion I'm eventually like 'I'm not charging into their full team, r u crazy!?' and then I finally got some bubbles. I also had a wiseguy dps player that laughed at me and called me hard stuck Gold while arguing that Winston is not a main tank. lol Great video, btw!

Really useful. It's so hard to know when to start brawling with Rein and this helps. Also, my Winston primal rages are garbage and I'm now going to go off and play some customs to practice. Thanks!

[@Osk42]

Now do all this without getting any heals

[@Beezle66]

😂😂😂

[@ghoulbuster1]

just play hog zarya 4head

[@crazebamm]

Lmfaoooo

[@therockingvolbeat3630]

Now try being a healer but your heals mean nothing, because you main tank charges the enemy and takes in so much damage that your heals can't sustain them, then getting blamed for their shit play

[@isaacclarcke4788]

The plat winston has 9000 iq just look at how beautifly he kills the reaper

[@Zolfried]

2nd clip, winston needs to use headset, or lower the input volume so the mic doesn't catch your gameplay sound or use push to talk... super annoying to the rest of the team -.-

[@Parkwoodss]

I think a lot of people don’t understand the point is to get to the objective, and use your abilities accordingly to take it / push payload.

[@Dewabarasunderan]

So for Winston: raise your sensitivity and track perfectly? It is way harder to never loose tracking when on high sensitivity...

[@davidcapo4522]

Could you do a map by map every fight spot analysis?

[@WusigiDr1]

What video has the layout for there communication wheel??

[@Cooklid7]

What sensitivity range do you recommend for Winston?

[@WarrickRanger]

Thank you for the video. I bought my very first second account from the Black Friday sale and decided it will be my main tank account; I’m a support main but looking to diversify. Already I’m playing about a tier below my main account (still in quick play but basing it off my teammates/opponents SR). What’s a good sens for tanks? I’m 800 DPI and 4.8 sens on Zen/Moira

[@maximbiscop4451]

sens is all preference. I play my dps and support on 800dpi and 2 in game sens and for rein Winston I put sens on 4. you don't need to massively change your sense. as Winston it is important that you can do quick 180 and 360. if possible the best way is to have a button that changed your dpi for quick movement and one for tracking

[@rw3404]

YourOverwatch these days: "Why won't y'all play Lucio?"

[@LikeaBossA10]

Freedo I have a couple points I disagree on and I would love to be proved wrong or hear your thoughts. While high sens on main tanks is good for reaction purposes, I don’t agree that it helps with tracking. In my mind that is more of a distance-to-180 familiarity thing. I also don’t like suggesting an earlier fight for the rein on blizzard world, since that enables flankers, enemy high ground, and makes your retreat path an unnecessary bottleneck. Thoughts?

[@YourOverwatch]

The terms "high" or "low" are incredible subjective so don't let that fool you into misunderstanding. React to things on screen faster = better gameplay. Simple. If you can't 180 fast enough to IMMEDIATELY start doing damage again, problem. So yes, you can advise ppl to "swing arm faster!" but why? No need to stay precise with Winston when speed will do. Zarya a bit of a different case but still remains largely the same, heroes in OW have bursts of fast movement, you need the speed to keep up 1:1 as much as possible. Rein Zarya is all about stealing away what you can. If he charges his Zarya aka actually commits, he's probably fine and escapes. This is all case by case basis - -honestly, mm reins stand still on point and never make a play, this is standard BAD, useless, irrelevant ranked tank playstyle that's used to not having any teamwork = bad practice. Only "feels" like it works in ranked bc often less mistakes wins in OW, but it doesn't make you better necessarily. -F

[@kenthd415]

This is actually a really good guide, well done.

[@NinjaOfTheKyeboard1]

I think my primary issue is the fact that I used to be a support main. The idea that I shouldn't be taking damage and I should be seen as little as possible to avoid being hit, is ingrained in my gameplay. Even when I DPS, I try to take as little damage as possible. I know that tanks are meant to soak damage, and yet there's a part of me that doesn't WANT to take damage because I'm afraid of dying and losing the team fight.

[@phredbookley183]

At 11:12 he says not to chase the Mercy. I remember LowKeyNerd saying something like, "Eff this, man. Every game is chase the Mercy." I feel the same way: Gotta kill her first. I'm surprised to hear this advice of not chasing her. Legit: Sometimes my callouts are entirely "Healer at Location X" and "Healer at Location Y." (I've also had people say, "Just tell me where Mercy is.")

[@saxboss1]

Incredible information in this video. If I were you I would segment the game clips a bit more explicitly. Maybe a quick intro to the clip what’s happening then give the info you give. It was just a bit hard to follow the first time watching. The seamlessness is Hollywood level but for an instructional video I would appreciate more segmented info, just my 2 cents

[@chancecollier7000]

I sometimes use sombre to get behind a Bastion is that a good thing

Great vid, and also an example of the principle of labour competition: someone will always do the work for less. Flood of self-help career counselors for aspiring gamers hitting the market to follow.

Don’t just charge in and die as Rein Don’t put your shield in a stupid spot as Orisa Don’t grav if zenyatta hasn’t used trans as Zarya Don’t play Winston into a bastion Don’t miss all your hooks as Hog Don’t just feed as Hammond And Don’t... actually there’s not a lot you can do wrong with Dva...

Is replay system for just owl/pros or all players?

[@sgtmorfokiller7230]

I'm terrible with Rein and Roadhog, so i never use them, i go Orisa or Hammond to defend, and Zarya or D.Va to attack. I want to know is there are proper ways to play with Hammond, i usually roll over the enemy team, escape inmidiately if i see i'm getting to much damage, and hunt down any enemy with less than 50% of life after piledriver, and all that seems to work.

[@lavishcole]

Piledriver is his main ability and you really wanna play around that. Other than that pay real close attention to your adapt shield cooldown. It's easy to feed with hammond so if they are running sombra hog or mei you might just be better off switching

Im a great tank and a great healer One phrase that makes me hurl is "git Gud" sputtered by egoticlstical elitists who make gaming bad. The most quick way to get your ass blocked from my team. The best gamers are ones confident enough to not alienate and degrade other players. Keep it positive and supportive, THAT makes a great game experience

Thank you, YourOverwatch for I am naturally garbage at tanks.

the rein at 23:53 is a bot he could have went into space since the mei wall has him blocked at the steps

[@Hailiums]

I just don't have charge mapped as an ability for Reinhardt and it seems to be working.

[@drmatic]

You all are worrried about climbing from silver and gold. Try and start in Bronze. It is even worse than quickplay. Almost impossible if you don´t have a group working together. Nobody wants to be tank. Nobody wants to be healer. You may get lucky if you really have a tank and a healer in a group. Offtank and offhealing? In your dreams. So I am always comdemned to play tank or healer. But then... get a extra bubble playing Reinhard? There is no extra bubble. there is no healer. Jus dps. And most of the time very bad ones. 5 dps and they can´t even make a hole in a cheese. Everybody does whatever he/she likes like in quickplay. If you have a cooperating group you automatically win all games ( up till gold I suppose). You don´t need to be a pixel-sharp shooter. Just work together. Actually impossible in lower ranks. I am praying for role queu...

[@Chiharukii]

As a person stuck in bronze and repeatedly dealing with this every time I play, I support this message.
