The FUNDAMENTALS: OW2 Hitscan DPS

Hitscan is OP, right? Just hit your shots and grind aim trainers, right? Well, as always, the answer isn't quite as simple as you'd think, BUT... Coach Spilo is here to fill the gaps in your DPS understanding, on the BASICS (basics that are important all the way to Champion/T500) of DPS (honestly, hitscan or not!).

Sometimes the "simpler conversations" that come from a less experienced player about basic matchups and interactions actually highlight how important the fundamental concepts are MORE than high level reviews or macro content, because Spilo needs to "prove how straightforward the right answer is". It is easy to think of these fundamental concepts as high level overviews, but they are actually small micro basics that add up as well. This video is fantastic and easily one of my favorites.

only halfway in the video and I'm super impressed by the info. I am a support main, but I'm taking away so much from this. Spilo thank you for posting these videos and not gating them behind a paywall, you are the master sensei

[@martonnagy8939]

Just as an idea: you could start a series: coaching coaches, where you coach coaches from different games, as in my opinion this was a weary good piece of educational content, it got down to the basics like nothing else I had ever seen.

[@rioriorio17]

He has some of that on the second channel

See THIS is how you educate ow2 players. This is what all the KZbinrs who make “unranked to gm educational” think they’re doing. Notice how this man didn’t have to go smurf and destroy people just to “educate”

[@F_rmal]

As a DPS main who's dumped almost 3k hours in this game through pure intuition, this really helped me see and clarify what I'm doing as a player in the game. This is an extremely helpful video, and brought words in understanding my gameplay. Will there be a potential fundamentals for support and tank? Really looking forward to that in the future if so!

[@Randomness662]

That line about cover protecting you from 2 shots not 1 shots was actually so valuable.

[@swordpunk]

I'm sure he's heard it before but it's absolutely insane the depth of knowledge spilo has that he's able to transition lesson to lesson and within frame of the context of the actual gameplay that's going on.

Great vid, like the little blurbs which summarise the sections and its always good having a framework to create some structure when approaching something as dynamic as OW.

How does Spilo not have more subscribers when tons of top streamers talk about him and cite him as giving tons of knowledge and coaching. Something about Spilos coaching seems to be very analytical, understanding the chain of events, and some of the best coaching out there. Mad respect.

Good analysis. Thanks for the video speeeelo!

[@thomasbrodie-sangsteredits5971]

I'm gonna have to use these tips! my dps is not the best so I have to think about angles, range, and presure. my mechanics arn't the best so maybe ill also work on that

[@cesarpachano409]

awesome video

[@edwardlane5637]

Should I play mauga using Dps fundamentals, because he does not have sustain to play like must tanks nor does he have a consistent about of burst. If I take an extremely aggressive angle at mid range, I feel like I am just shredding them, but I want to know if this is the best thing to do?

[@Lorddeadmemes]

[@thomasbrodie-sangsteredits5971]

[@Poopkipp]

What about knowing your match ups? I'd say knowing how to fight every hero in a 1v1 is also fundamental.

[@Vaz_G]

I think that falls under mechanics

[@Im2tiredforthis]

Pretty sure it does since that's aim and movement and just aiming better I guess or something like that​@@Vaz_G

[@ogriptide6578]

He described this under mechanics in the video near beginning of

[@StarsetFlight]

He brought this up multiple times.

[@Dezatron-]

At the start of the video. I believe that moving forward will give you a advantage unless it's cover you are moving away from. Because hitting shots is the thing you gotta do as dps (and getting/ confirming kills) but If you can't hit those shots because you not as skill from a far then moving closer is the option. Also don't forget damage range falloff. If I'm cassidy and see I'm hitting 1 hp because of range then I'm going to get closer so I can actually put in work.

[@poobert2128]

As a top 500 player I think everyone overthinks the game. If it didn’t work think of what you could do instead. If it wins the game it works. No one sits there and starts doing math in their head. The fundamentals become instinct through practice and you just know what works then you get creative completely by accident.

[@redcrow3472]

This week, working on timing my engagements more better and BOBing gooder.

[@nucknockman]

please do this for support and tank

[@LeSqueed]

Question based on your talk about pressure. You state that objective pressure is normally not a DPS's job. Would you say that recently this has changed somewhat, specifically with more mobile heroes like Tracer? Notice especially on payloads, you don't want the tank to be there, or the support to be in such a vulnerable position. You'd rather have them setup positions I feel for taking an optimal fight.

[@ryanp652]

tracer has often been used for cart push. The Kevster VOD review a while back had this a lot, he talks about how cart is an angle. Not much has changed fundamentally from S8-9 about this, but with the meta shake up it is important to know.

[@plaguepix3l]

15:29 That Tracer POV tho...she messed up so bad shes in spawn LMAO

[@albertosarabia6588]

I think we move when we hit shots because we don’t want to want to just be sitting ducks, although sitting still does mean we only have to focus on shots, the constant plausibility of someone just ending your hit streak with a single blow or two is always there

[@mayguardian1]

i think the walking forward is from league mechanics. in a game with no cover, the only way to avoid pressure is to walk out of effective range. so if u have an advantage, u constantly input forward movement or risk wasting the opportunity. it’s a good habit in league, just doesn’t translate well to a game where pressure is much more consistent. i wonder if ur gaming background affects what aspects of ow2 u struggle with

[@TomMorello725]

[@pabloquijadasalazar7507]

I can’t agree with the way you’re defining Pressure, because DPS do alleviate Pressure by taking off angles. As soon as some of the enemy are looking at you & not the rest of your team, you alleviated Pressure, and you absorbed Pressure. Just because there are fewer people shooting at your team, since they can’t shoot you & your team at the same time. I think of it more like there’s: Space, Tempo, Economy, and Pressure. Everyone engages in all of these, all of these are intertwined. Space is taking up space so the enemy cannot use that space. Most tanks take up space or deny space. Most damage disrupt space. Tempo is the cadence of the fight, and the “call & response” of the fight. Like music: “when I do it like this, you do it like that.” Tempo says “we’re down 1, pull back.” Tempo says “we got a pick, push up.” Tempo says “Reaper killable, no fade.” Tempo says “tank out of position, punish.” Tempo is where Supports live. Economy is what Ults are available & how quickly they’re being used. What do we have to react to them & what do they have to react to us? How many ults do we have, and how many ults have they used. “They used Zen ult last fight.” “The Rein has Shatter.” Pressure is our ability to control & influence the enemy’s Space, Tempo, and Economy. Pressure says “we can use Dynamite to bait Suzu.” Pressure says “taking an off-angle creates a distraction for your team.” Pressure says “that Widow is effectively taking up that space.”

[@ryanp652]

Coaching is about being as simple as possible for people to understand. Breaking it down into this many categories makes it more challenging to understand and apply in a real match
