I'm a masters Ashe main just hoping I can learn something new watching this. My contribution to this video is this: One of the keys to getting the most out of your dynamite is positioning to follow up with your scoped shots, ideally headshotting anything at or below 150hp to secure picks. It seems obvious, but when you are anchoring around your tank, you will struggle to be able to consistently follow up on burning targets. This is why you need to search for your opportunity to off-angle, dynamite ASAP, and continue to look for picks on that angle until there is sufficient pressure to force you to leave. When you reveal yourself on a good angle, it's best to look for a dynamite as soon as possible (1-2 shots before is excusable), to minimize the amount of time the enemy has to react, and to maximize the time you are shooting at targets that are burning. Hope this helps 👍

[@ioStux]

Very good advice!

[@voxull880]

God i hope he does more of these videos for the rest of the roster

[@lycaniii1856]

Was hoping for the same thing! 🙏🏾

[@lycaniii1856]

Awe man. If this is going by alphabetical order then my main man Zen is going to be dead last 😂

You dont need it for all the roster, all you need to know when playing cass is that you have gun and bomb

[@davidwalley648]

Just wanted to say this is the single best Overwatch guide I've ever seen on KZbin. After watching this, I feel like I should be in Grandmaster, even though I haven't played in years. I can tell an incredible amount of time and effort went into it, from editing the clips to the graphic transitions, and I really appreciated it.

[@Sousless]

Amazing! Not only the info is super useful but it also looks good! Time well spent. I hope you don't burn out doing them and eventually make one for each character!

[@ioStux]

Next one should be on Ana! The first one on Ashe was the hardest, because I needed to create all the templates for the graphs and infographics, and i needed to learn how to use Premiere properly. Future guides should hopefully be less work!

[@Björntobewild]

I agree, i used to edit allot also back in the old days and this is is amazing editing!

[@piotrjones7926]

Incredible quality of information and editing you are so underrated and should be one of the top KZbinrs when it comes to Overwatch coaching and teaching, hope that happens one day

[@ioStux]

I hope so too, thanks for the kind words! :) Also haven't heard from you in a while, don't hesitate reaching out via Discord if you ever need anything :)

[@frogsaregreatwizards9097]

this is one of the best guides you can find out there imo, but i dont see many people make use of this unless they are beginners. so maybe adding more in depth time stamps would differentiate it from other beginner guides? maybe examples of using the given advice in the video and a short vod review where you can explain what decisions are the best for a current situation and why they are made? great video as usual :)

[@ioStux]

Hey, thanks for the feedback! Yeah its tough finding that balance between keeping the video interesting for beginners, without it getting too dry and advanced. I'll make more of these and tune that balance as I go :)

[@brendantarp]

Thank u for the high quality guide! Graphics and information were top tier as always

[@PainOW.]

Really like this format, and great guide all around; information is easy to digest, presented in good order and the awesome work on the editing makes it a pleasure to watch too. Very useful for new players and older ones looking to improve alike!

[@ioStux]

thank you

[@FrostPhoenix_]

Fantastic visual guide. Hot damn the visualisation and the graphics aspect of the guide is so well done that I cannot comprehend enough. You and Skyline were the only coaches I used to follow back in the release of OW1 (and also when I didn't know of others that much). I left OW1 when things got out of hand with Brigette release and Blizzard's inability to balance a character for a whole long year lmao and then double shield happened. On the contrary OW2 is somewhat more enjoyable with the removal of most hard CCs and the change to 5v5 but the matchmaking really feels lopsided. But all things aside, I have been yearning to learn Ashe as a mostly hitscan based player for so long and this guide really motivated to go through the training even more so.

[@ioStux]

Thanks for the kind words! Yeah haha, I remember the days where me and Skyline were pumping out educational content, wondering what he's been up to :)

[@jayrose5333]

Make more in-depth guides like this for every character please and thank you (I'm excited for a more in depth guide for kiriko, but don't make it quite so soon since she has been under the nerf spotlight)

[@ioStux]

That's the plan

[@RandommBoyo]

Damn man, the work you put into this is amazing. From talking about stats and other details, to nice presentation of what you're talking about with nice visual work and understandable mic... Just such an underrated professional-level guide. Personally I feel like I have already learned most stuff naturally, but I am definitely going to use some of the tips and hope for my aim to improve eventually.

[@Eembu]

I don’t comment or like usually unless i see professional content like this. Totally an amazing guide. Liked and subscribed.

[@ioStux]

Thank you for the kind words

[@ValoriYT]

Holy crap, this is amazing! I don't even play Ashe much, but I'm gonna watch the whole thing anyways :)

[@ioStux]

Thanks for the kind words! Took a lot of work, super happy to finally get it out :)

[@Maj075]

One of the best educational videos I have watched. I hope you do the whole roster if you have the desire to do. I can see players paying for these type of videos.

[@Björntobewild]

You earned my sub! great editing very informative info and well explained and amazing work on the supreme preview of ashe in a great format!

[@dahlavibez5726]

I could listen to these while working good music good song thank u sir 🎉

[@jorgemarquez6528]

I'm already impressed 4 mins in, the quality of the editing and information is top notch. I really hope another guide like this one will be released soon. Keep up the great content.

Absolute legend. Thank you 🐐

ngl when i see videos like this non of it ever works but dude u actually give all the info needed to be good at the character thank u so much great job

The music in the background and how well put together your videos are is such a crazy combination that I’m now an Ashe main 😂. That music got me HYPED lol blizzard has such amazing art and sound teams!

[@dancrew6721]

One of the best guides I've seen for any hero. Can't wait for one on a hero I play.

[@ioStux]

They are very time consuming to make, but Im hoping to work my way through the most popular characters first :)

[@drawingcorp.2372]

Im a gm player currently (gm2 rn) so i was masters during a few months then gm and hit t500 2 months ago, and i still learned a few things, really nice guide for new players and low ranked players, if your aim is good ashe has insane potential to escape your elo and climb the ranks, nice guide!❤

[@byan1988]

Omg this video is so informative and helpful!! I’m an aspiring Ashe main so this is so amazing

[@gonsho__12]

Deserves more credit, i already have a fair amount of hours with ashe but learned a thing or two

[@Hashshashiyin]

Surprised you didnt add kiriko in the outrange as well i notice its very easy to hit anas/ashes if they try to scope with kiriko. very easy headshots from long range even with kunai travel speed.

[@ioStux]

Hey! There are multiple characters, I just wanted to limit it to a few examples so the screen wouldnt get more cluttered, Kiriko is of course also a long range threat :)

[@Hashshashiyin]

@@ioStux gotcha! makes sense!

[@zenopsy0149]

Decided to pick up Ashe recently. I do ok, but the inconsistency due to my lack of experience is demoralizing, but man, when it hits... IT HITS JUST RIGHT!!

god like guide, best ashe guide out there hands down!

[@fritzi5322]

Thank you for sharing your knowledge with us. :) You create the most in depth guides out there and its soo well made from a technical point of view. Thanks and much love/success for your business

Great guide. Especially like the more in depth side of things. Interested in Tracer, Soldier or Widow next.

Amazing guide deserve so many views tbh

[@ioStux]

Thanks for the kind words 🥰

[@madmrssally5297]

I need a video on what to do when you are being focused on, especially by high mobility hero’s like Tracer. I’m getting chased down by them a lot and don’t have the mobility to consistently win the fights. I just started playing OW2 and just unlocked Ashe, so I’m already at a disadvantage.

[@Shobu55]

Content of course as always absolute top! Will certainly look at it more often to internalize everything. But in the presentation of the content I have one or two improvements / criticisms: In the larger graphics I find it somehow not appealing to read through the texts and I think it's mainly because everything is written in capital letters. These flying particles and the "glow" effect on the text doesn't really help either, but even makes it a bit more "tiring" to read. In the graphics from 36:00 on, the aforementioned "glow" and the light background make it even more difficult to read the text. In general, I think it would help (if you want to keep the style and fonts) if you highlighted the text sections that are currently being addressed. This way, it would be easier for the viewer to follow the flow of the video without having to actively read the text themselves.

[@ioStux]

Great idea to highlight the active text, will take the feedback into account for the next project :)

[@frogsaregreatwizards9097]

@@ioStux i personally like the flying bubble thingies, maybe make it so they dont overlap the text and the other objcets? idk what to call them

[@ioStux]

@@frogsaregreatwizards9097 I actually wanted to put them behind the text and graphics, but the problem was that the particles graphic is pretty compressed, so if i placed anything in front of it, it would get super pixelated with tons of visual artifacts. I'll look for a solution!

This is so good. Wow.

Just a niche thing but, since this videos release ashe has had a change to the way her ult charge works, ot now works like the rest, where as she cant gain ult charge while bob is active

I love how you're using Real Analysis terms like Limit Inferior/Superior.

at around 8:18- how should we adjust the sensitivity if we are playing on console?

[@AirBendinCat]

Excellent job on this vid!

[@Enkinanna]

really enjoyed the info, very good guide, wish overwatch presented some of this stuff in game, like how much damage various abilities actually do. Also wanted to provide a little consturctive criticism since you mentioned you're in a learning and refining phase, these are not huge issues, just little things that could be improved. IMO, the overwatch music is too dramatic to make good background music for something like this, it's distracting. I would pick something else personally, but it could at least be mixed down a bit further. similarly, the visual background was also often distracting. If you're gonna have a bunch of particle effects like that to create some visual texture, they need to be lower contrast, and probably just toned down a bit in general, to avoid clashing with the actual focus of the video. also, there were a couple little hiccups in your voiceover, making me wonder how exactly that part was produced. It almost sounds like the whole video is just one long voiceover track, recorded all in one take. now that might not be the case, but if it is, wow, almost 40 min is a really long time to speak precisely. Once again, this isn't a big problem, just another small distraction that could be cleaned up by breaking it down into smaller chunks so you can do additional takes if you mess up a word, without having to rerecord the whole thing. ok finally one last thing on the conceptual side. Towards the end of the video, it started to feel a lot less focused on Ashe, and like you were explaining a lot of general concepts. This might be necessary, as obviously it wouldn't help somebody to explain win conditions if they don't even understand that concept, but it might be an area that could be improved, that's the only reason I'm pointing it out. Whether that entails more concise general descriptions so you can be more specific about Ashe, or maybe some more gameplay examples in the video for that section, I don't have much of a concrete suggestion on this one. Maybe you take like 1 minute at the beginning of the video to explain some of those fundamental concepts, so they can be in mind for the whole thing? Again, just a small thing that might be an opportunity to improve. I feel like you of all people would appreciate and benefit from this kind of feedback, otherwise I would not have bothered typing it all out! Anyway, thanks for the most informative OW content on youtube, looking forward to the next one!

[@ioStux]

Hey, thank you so much for the feedback! I'll tone down the opacity on the particles a bit. And yes, I recorded the voiceover in one 40 minute take :) I'll also look into toning down the music a bit, i like having more dramatic music, but toning down the volume should help a bit :)

[@MarcellKluth]

When will the "spread" of unscoped shots be reseted? After a scoped shot? And/or also after a certain time (or reload a Bullet)?

[@thelukos]

[@vladgaedel8521]

skip intro bookmark, instant like edit ist immernoch intro like entfernt edit2 Video gut, wieder geliked 5:11 but i hate playing with lucios, speedboost only makes me miss more, then i need to stand still to hit, then im even easier to hit. Bronze life is hard. 7:59 also following your aim guide, does it really matter if scoped / unscoped are different, since they are not "really" the same only close to crosshair and actually having different uses. Since static target clicking profits ALOT from lower sense like 45cm+ (that is precision AND speed getting better), like valorant sense, while dynamic clicking from hipfire or pasu in kovaaks is alot better below 30cm/360

[@unklrukkus]

I enjoyed this, but I was confused by a few things you said, especially in the win conditions section, discouraging people from shooting at heroes with high mobility especially. These characters are likely to focus you on Ashe and removing any support is removing huge utility from the enemies. Killing Lucio can save you or a teammate from being ran down by the enemy Tank. You can always one shot Tracer and even forcing recall is valuable because she'll have to play more conservatively. Forcing defensive cooldowns is a huge part of playing DPS, but the phrasing here made it sound like you should just ignore those characters. Sure I'd prefer easier targets like Pharah, Junkrat, or Cass, but there's a reason these characters have a low pick rate.
