[@XiomaroTV]

That was great advice about going for a 15 minute walk instead of just watching TV. There have been studies done that find boredom helps creativity. Not that a walk is boring, but it gives you time to think. If you don't ever allow yourself to be bored, you're not giving yourself time to come up with novel ideas. This is honestly good advice for anything you're trying to improve in life.

[@WoWbloodcrazy]

I took your advice with the title and quit playing. Huge improvement in my personal life

[@devantewyche5457]

I love Spilo’s approach to not only Overwatch but gaming in general. I can’t wait for my coaching session!

[@FrancoNotAvailable]

I feel like the loosing/winning dynamic makes you more addicted. I used to be better at the game when I was in masters I didn’t feel the need to play that much, now I’m not as good I loose way more and I find myself playing 4-5 hours a day without even noticing, Im addicted and I’m not even having that much fun

[@P1nn9cle]

same, took a week break cause laptop broke down, got it back in school holidays fell to d5 from d2 grinded the game all day and im now plat 1

[@user-tz5dd3un9k]

also depends on the day and time of day. weekends and 4-8pm are usually the worse time to play.

[@FrancoNotAvailable]

@@user-tz5dd3un9k wow I haven’t thought about that, there’s definitely a time where I feel like games are better and people are talking and more engaged. There’s also a shitty thing that I’d like to make a video about, that sometimes it feels like “do I have fun or do I win” type situation, and there’s many reasons to that and it seems so hard to get both. At least for me

[@cooIguy]

[@drkatz1192]

You’re over here giving Overwatch advice which is really just fucking genuinely great LIFE advice. As a credentialed therapist, really good stuff. Keep up the focus on mindfulness and cognitive behavioral therapy!

[@MrNeCr01]

You don't solo-counterpick, a counter pick counters the entire composition; not just one overperforming hero. If you swap against a GM Winston with Roadhog, and the Silver Ana/Bap/Echo eat your cheeks as a result; you've accomplished nothing. Zarya tends to be the end of the line for tank counterpicks for me. I can player her against most comps, and she doesn't really have a hard counter option available. If I can't neutralize the diff with Zarya, my team deserves to lose.

[@Ghajestis]

dude i hate playing against zarya because if they're performing really well there's nothing i can do and i'm just playing a lost game for 10-20 minutes lmfao

[@PatrickArcato]

Sometimes it works, when someone is clearly carrying, focusing on them only wins you the game. Last night a dva was the problem, I told the dps to get at least one beamer, they went Mei and Sym and we won

[@MrNeCr01]

@PatrickArcato That's because Dva has a very high skill ceiling. Zar has a pretty mediocre skill ceiling, with positioning and bubble conservation being her major weaknesses.

[@PatrickArcato]

@@MrNeCr01 No, that's because that players was clearly much better than the average. It happens a lot in mid ranks where people are stuck because of bad team mates. Even that guy lost in the end

[@Venant91182]

@@PatrickArcato I think coaches like Spilo often don't address why a player they review actually lost a game and instead focus only on what they could individually have done better. I think it would be beneficial to understand why a game is won or lost from an overall vantage point, as such analysis can deepen a players general understanding of the game.

[@lcsgarcia84]

A while ago I was reading a book on this specific subject of how to learn (Learning How to Learn - Barbara Oakley) And at the end of the video Spilo mentions a crucial moment in learning. The moment of diffuse thinking, think of it as a short-range but very wide flashlight, your brain begins to look at all available next steps as you relax. The brain doesn't stop being active because it's resting, it just goes into unconscious mode. That said, I highly recommend reading it for anyone interested in the subject. And thank you for the content @Spilo 10/10

[@deadlynn7774]

Will def be reading thanks for the recommendation!

[@FranksAnimeClub]

Going to straight up apply this to language learning. I've definitely been doing "brain-off" type of daily studying thinking I'd get there eventually

[@druledbetter7620]

What language are you learning?

[@memegod2872]

bro walked the desert sun just to tell us how to get gud at OW2

[@niteblooded]

Twitch chat had me rolling but my first thought when the video started was Spilo picked a fight with Spyro.

[@faxmine]

tomato torb memes aside, This is amazing advice and I'm really thankful for it. I always wanted to get better but had no idea on how to do it. Thank you spilo!

[@literalmountgod]

a lot of the top wow guilds workout a lot as well (specifically Echo I'm talking about) and are sponsored by health/workout products, I think it helps them a lot for race to world first and helps them focus for the long hours

[@kieranyt8484]

Spilo secretly giving his ow fan base a good and healthy lifestyle irl aswell. Good job man.

[@Ropewatch]

What do we get other than health? Nothing. We do unhealthy things because we wanna cope with our not so great lives. Just let people be degens

I haven't touched this game seriously in close to four years now but still watch your vids and apply the lessons to becoming a better CS student and Valorant player so thanks. Also quick question, does your forehead not hurt when your hair is resting on it?

[@hardstuck_styx]

13:35 you could be talking about any t1 pro but this is so pge without name dropping him genuinely

6:45 that happened to me last game lmao

[@snoski2697]

Back in the day, I got from plat to masters playing ranked under 2h a week, and instead scrimming on a casual diamond-masters team 4ish hours a week. I found ranked dreadful, so I played my placements mid-season and placed higher season to season. As long as I proved myself week to week in scrims and wasn’t getting left in the dust, I was happy.

[@vladgaedel8521]

18:03 yes, we see that you are like a sunflower and turn your face towards the sun

[@CC-yq5bw]

Queue time does not count for engagement time unless you're doing something considered mentally draining. Think of it this way, what if queue times are 1.5 hours? That means you probably get 2 games in 4 hours. Two games is not going to drain your mental capacity if your'e conserving yourself during this time.

[@Switch_X_Back3884]

Just had a coaching session from Ikari, he's very good btw. I noticed even tho I'm Gold 1 to Plat 5. Like everytime I died. It was not being in cover.

[@Switch_X_Back3884]

I must be slow. Bc I have been playong Support for just 2 months. Been playing this game total since just Jan. 2024. With Support, I've been playing like 4-6 hours a day almost 7 days a week. Sometimes I can, sometimes I can't. But I've only reached Gold 1 in Support Role Q. And open Q I'm Plat 4. I just now did a coaching session. So hopefully, now I have a guideline to what I need to practice when i play. This play time now, I will have deliberate things to work, not just remembering Cover. But i do have good mechanics. That was a big surprise.

[@justfreeze6655]

If we are talking about 3h to 4h of focused time each day(which is true, I've read a lot about this stuff): How are you supposed to spend this time in Overwatch? Most people have work, university or school. Moreover, many people play in the evening which further leads to worse performance. It sounds rough for me to have this intense concentration in overwatch because its mostly used up elsewhere and therefore it is more or less impossible to have this time in OW. So... What should we do?

[@ginpachi1]

I also waste my time by putting “used tissues” in the trash from “Overwatch content”

[@linxismenow5804]

I work full time and I played 8 hours still but I learned he was right only got like 3 hours maybe 4 before mental fatigue

[@Shadowsmoke11]

We all know Overwatch 2 uses an EOMM matchmaking system (engagement-optimized matchmaking system). You’ll win a bunch of games; everything will seem great, and then boom, you’re smacked in the face with a 10-game losing streak. Even though you’re losing, you’ll keep playing until you finally get that dopamine rush of a final win (this is where the engagement part really starts to make a lot of sense) before logging off and crying yourself to sleep at night. Sound familiar?

@coachspilo What is your opinion on smoking weed while gaming competitively? Do you think someone can get to the highest level if they get high every time they play? Also, I think imperial Hal said he always puts at least 8 hours a day into apex and hes like the goat of that game. Would he be better if he put 6 mindful hours in instead?

i wish i had money to afford a coach who could help me stay on a good schedule like this who could remind me of what to play for and shit

[@gamist8166]

I think we all aiming for self improvement want that. But apps make these schedule things super easy! Just gotta get the goals yourself, or maybe a weekly coach to keep touching base on what goals to shoot for

Man Dr Zoidberg has some nice tips

[@fergusgraem3625]

Microneedling? More looks like torb got your core molted.

[@WolfRites]

Personally, I just don't really .. Know how to improve. I can't, in the vast majority of time, really see where I can improve. I know, objectively that I can improve, but when I finally have the time to play, I don't want to sit and watch VODs of myself playing. E.g. I've been trying to rank up on support (my worst role), and I've been really struggling against what feels like godlike Doomfists, and I honestly don't know what to do. What does it matter if I sleep the DF, when my team still ignores him? His CDs are lower than mine, he'll just fly out, and come back 7 seconds later. What I'm saying is: I don't really know when a game is just lost because .. My team, as a whole (myself included) are just outmatched, and I need to say "nothing I could've done", and when I literally could've done something to win. I don't know where that line is, and frankly, those games infuriate me. It drains me.

[@Ropewatch]

Idk spilo. I feel like I need 8hs or I wont make it past plat. The idea that 2 is enough is hard to believe to me.

[@VanSanProductions]

PER DAY though. If you have a job and other hobbies putting more than 2 hours a day into a video game sounds crazy.

[@Peraliq]

Some people need to play more some less for game sense and mechanics to improve. I hit diamond on an alt account playing mostly only zen from silver with an 80 wr and it took like 3 hrs to rank up each rank

[@SpartynFitnessYouTube]

@4:07 I'm not so sure.

[@Pekara121]

Were you hanging upside down on the monkey bars for too long before stream?

[@whambulance8607]

So lets say you are trying to get from silver to gold. That will be ~2 games since you probably need the rest of the 1 hour 15 minutes for vod reviewing right?

[@Ropewatch]

2 games is not enough

[@whambulance8607]

@@Ropewatch So I should fill out the 1 hour 15 with just game time? So the vod review doesn't count as part of the time?

[@gamist8166]

2 games is not an hour, that's valorant times. You'll probably get 3-5 imo. Then vodding 3-5 games makes very much sense

[@Bluemansonic]

​@@gamist81662 games can be almost 2 hours in lower ranks, so yes 2 games can indeed be an hour

[@polskistalker]

any tips on not feeling like absolute worst trash after losing, even while knowing you're bad/enemy was better? Edit: I should've probably mention it wasn't about Overwatch. I respect Spilo's channel for more stuff than just Overwatch, but improving in general. The thing is I know all these stuff about improving, VOD reviews and such, but I'm simply unable to after failing, because my mind can only think about hating myself, so to speak

[@nickve777]

blame your team

[@gamist8166]

Switching the goal post. The goal shouldn't just be to win all the time in a solo q environment

[@ex_interp]

Maybe a change in perspective. You can think you are lucky for getting to play and learn against better players. You'll never improve that much if you're only playing people worse than you and even if you get to climb vs the bad players, you'll eventually hit a plateau again vs the better players at your new mmr. Playing against people better than you speeds up the learning process in anything competitive. Maybe you can also watch the match back from their pov and see what they're doing different or what things you can imitate from their gameplay.

[@dragonbowrghr5937]

If you're placed correctly, your win rate will be close to 50/50. If your goal is to play above your rank and climb, then maybe vod review to make the loss feel productive. Even the best players lose frequently, so don't take it too personally

[@polskistalker]
