Why The Secret To Winning Is Losing in Overwatch 2

1. Preform at your maximum potential without being bothered about the result, even when you lose you should be in joy that you tried your best, because at the end thats all you can do. 2. Avoid binary thinking, think of losses as something to learn from. 3. Don't focus on others when playing. Meaning don't compare your stats to theirs, or look at what they "should've" done. You cannot control your teammates but you can focus in our selves. 4. choose a beginning and the end, do not think about the numbers or stats, just focus on being as efficient as possible. Your only goal should be what you want out of competitive. 5. Don't let the perception of others (or even yourself) destroy the learning process. You will make mistakes, you are learning, don't be ashamed of taking risks.

[@alldabbing8930]

Truly a gigachad way of thinking

[@coldshock5181]

K but no one can tell me the 2k damage genji getting pocketed by mercy isn't the reason I lost

[@cryonim]

All that is good and all but doesn't apply to a game like OW where your own performance is largely impacted by the 4 players with you. You have to think what works best for the team, and your team thinks what works best with you. This is why soloq is a disaster for most people, someone is always thinking like "idc about the team, i want whats best for myself".

[@StephanieDaugherty]

I'd expand on #3 a bit You can control your teammates to a degree - the attitude you bring to your matches is contagious, and you can either choose to encourage and enable teammates with a good attitude, or to tilt them beyond any chance of winning with a bad attitude. That's it. That's the limit of control of your teammates, and in doing so, you'll have more fun, win more games, and maybe help those teammates do the same in the rest of their matches.

Went from struggling in low plat to play games on low master and thinking it was gold. Searching and learning more more and more was what worked for me. Learning how to play my role, matchups, counters, decision making and ACTIVELY THINKING ALL THE TIME its ESSENTIAL. Don’t default.. its hurting your games

[@A10Nerd]

Actively thinking about decisions is so overpowered, congrats on the climb and figuring it out

[@Henbot]

Entirely miss it doesn't matter if you are thinking and growing if the rest of your team isn't or not and not doing the roles (i.e. healer isn't dying but isn't healing). The truth is you just got to grind by the sheer amount of hours you grinded you will eventually climb, and it doesn't matter all the other elements, you play 100s of games, and you will eventually climb. Some players just do it faster than you.

[@ExpertCobra-tn1vt]

@@Henbot that’s kind of the whole point.. to rank up you have to do it faster than everyone else. But to address your point that your teams are the deciding factor in your games.. you’re the constant in every game. There’s a reason pros that do unranked to gm seemingly win every game, or even a diamond playing in gold. They are just better and therefore have more of an impact to cause a win (which adds up long term)

I don't care about losing games, I care about going 0-7 while people scream at each other and keep leaving games, I care about how my rank is determined by win/loss ratio, I care that my best, no matter how well I do, there's always someone pissed. I don't care if I suck, I care that my performance doesn't matter at the end of the day, and that no matter how well I do, even if I carried, that loss is causing a de-rank. If I de-rank because of me fine, but a matching with the same people over and over who just throw every game because they aren't having fun and it harms me.

[@EnzoTheBaker]

I know you put a lot of work into these vids and the advice is sound, but I actually think there might be too many insertions of photos/clips/stock footage in this whole video. The problem is, even before your sentence finishes, we see 2-4 different images from various media and it makes our eyes bounce all over the place and focus less on the words you are speaking. I still prefer a more relaxed format (which you traditionally had) just showing gameplay (could be any game, doesn't have to be OW), and punctuating it once in a while with these stock clips/memes. It does add some light-hearted humor and analogies can be fun, but I just am not a fan of a stream of various imagery in such a short span of time. I see it in other KZbin videos, but those are silly Roblox type of videos or "Watch me play Horror Game _____", whereas this is a more academic channel, so I feel like your viewers are little more sophisticated. But this is just my opinion. See what others say about the video too.

[@litplayz6780]

When hard stuck every game feels like 50% un winnable games and 50% free wins. These results most of the time feels like you are never winning any games because it’s either too easy and not very rewarding or too hard making the games feel hopeless. At the end of the day you gain 1 or -1. It’s like a endless loop that takes hundreds of hrs to break. (I’m talking about 4:30 btw)

[@barbaryfair]

This isn't just great advice for Overwatch, but for life in general. I often let my anxiety and fear of failure hold me back, and this is a good reminder that having fun and pushing forward is the way to go, because learning from your failures is what really matters. Amazing video. Just to add, I've been watching for a few weeks now, and with each video I am continually impressed by the way you organize important ideas and make them so clear and understandable. It's really helped me already and I appreciate your channel, and your outlook on life, so much. Thanks A10, looking forward to watching you for a long time. :)

My last ranked milestone was Diamond and then I pretty much never did competitive again because I feared dropping to plat. I'll start working towards masters now, thanks for the video I can't express how much it really helped.

[@FrancoDFernando]

2:00 I actually have this mentality about "being wrong" in terms of a discussion. Just like you said, we were raised our entire lives (i.e. school) that being wrong is the worst thing. When in fact, being wrong just means you're closer to the right answer. Everyone is going to be ignorant about everything at one point in their lives; the point is we learn from it, and move on.

[@RoninDPS]

This video reminded me of a quote from Daigo “The Beast” Umehara, one of the greatest Street Fighter players of all time who said, “Tournaments are a playground for people who practice for growth. It's where they show off their achievements. Once I made that realization, I finally started making continued growth my goal, rather than winning.” This stuck with me because it shows how strong his desire to improve was, as even in a tournament he prioritized improving over winning.

Also, what do you get from winning? In games that feel "easy", you could most likely do anything and still win. As a player you do not improve even the slightest. You NEED challenging and hard matches to even get the chance to improve.

[@huckmart2017]

Took me a while to get over the fear of losing a rank. I remember the first time i got into masters i started playing really scared and passive. Of course playing that way caused me to lose. I wasn't able to actually consistently climb until i stopped caring about the outcome. The first time i got into top 500, i did so by accident. After the first 2 weeks of the season i queued up only to see a shiny 280 number beside my name. Such a surreal feeling that i only got because i prioritized fun and my passion for the game over statistics and arbitrary numbers.

[@A10Nerd]

I think the new ranked system helps a lot with fear of losing rank as well, but "I wasn't able to actually consistently climb until i stopped caring about the outcome" hits hard, this is what i aimed to help people understand (and some more) congrats on the climb, glad you got your confidence!

[@Mitchel6489]

Its not even about losing. Its about feeling helplessness like not even being able to engage because every teamfight is 4 vs you and you spend most of the game waiting to respawn. the fact that your team cant capitalize on that is just salt to the wound.

[@misterkeys2893]

I can't agree more than this. Recently I've been receiving a lot of flaming from teammates and opponents alike, but they're to such severity that it sounds less like they're upset and more like they're having a a stroke or something - I keep thinking to myself "If someone spoke like this to you IRL you would immediately think they're having a mental breakdown or something, but in game it's so easy to take it on board as legitimate creditable criticism." That really builds rank and skill anxiety. But if I go out to practice a song on my guitar and I fail it 10 times - that's a regular practice session. If I fail to beat a lap time on my mountainbike 10 times - that's a regular series of rides. But if I loose 10 comp games in a row, for some reason I've decided that is an absolute disaster. It doesn't matter that I'm a better than I was before those 10 games. It amazing how worrying about imaginary participation awards called "ranks" can completely strip away your desires of improving as a player or having fun and lead you fully into only caring about gaining SR.

Thank you for this video, I been stuck in bronze 5 since overwatch 2 releases and I can’t get out. But I have hope again thank you

[@lynnlantern7513]

Honestly this video helped me a lot. It was really exactly what I needed to hear to get myself out of that mindset. I started playing again after 3 years of being hardstuck bronze and climbed my way up to plat but last night I almost dropped back to gold. I was furious at myself and my teammates for this happening. I was too caught up in losing my plat importance that I wasnt even considering the games itself. Now I'm actually trying to just take a step back and focus on what's important, my own gameplay and my own improvement.

Love your work man! To view failures in such a way that can create values in our lives and ultimately achieve our dreams is what most of us need to learn across different areas.

[@g0hma437]

REAL REAL REAL this is legit the best advice anyone could ever get, good video mr A10

[@Bunny-ks7fi]

The best channel about competitive games I’ve ever seen, love your videos. I’m plat in ow and league right now but I hope to apply your concepts and rank up

I just got off the game on full tilt, and I needed to see this, thanks.

[@bloody_imp]

Man I have been trying to work on my tilt this year but lately its been rough. My mind has become this mental prison where I don't want to play and grind because of the negative emotions I allow to control me whenever I do not perform up to my expectations, and because of this fear I am stuck in a paralysis where I feel the inner urge to grind only to second guess myself. Thank you for making this video, it was something I needed to watch. Having strong mental fortitude is indeed an undervalued skill.

[@A10Nerd]

Escape that prison and make the most out of your free time, the sooner we get it back the better. It wont be easy but good luck, I believe in you

[@shelby13107]

that is litterly something u need to practice for every goal in ur life its deeper than climbing in video games its a rule for life grind also thanks for sharing knowledge with us man big love and respect

[@sonderbain]

Thank you, I'm a currently plat Tracer main looking to improve my skills. Mentality is your key to success in this game and why you should never flame teammates or take their flaming personally. I've been trying hard to improve myself this past week and I am starting to see more and more success and more positive mental attitude even if I lose. Its just a game and if you arent having fun you arent approaching it with the right mindset. Thank you A10

[@jeramii03]

This video changed my entire perspective. I feel awakened. Thank you!

[@conradmeredith7522]

This might be the single greatest video out there.watched many other vids that say don’t tilt and just have a break. Haven’t seen anyone break it down like this. You’re a genius. Thanks 🙏

[@A10Nerd]

It's a really important one, mental is massive for improving! I appreciate the comment

[@splashsityyt342]

People don’t understand how far this extends beyond the world of overwatch. Great video.

[@lozeritis9612]

brooo this changed my whole view on comp, thanks for creating this video

[@Wallabylover116]

I would just like to thank you for somehow creating a video about Overwatch that helped me more outside of the game than it did in the game.

[@Yuraichu]

I don't know how this video doesn't have more attention. Thank you A10

[@u_vsalamander5198]

Didn’t know I was going to be thought valuable life lessons when I clicked on this video. Thank you

[@aidhynnayak713]

THANK YOU SO MUCH ! I was hard stuck silver on console (tank - winton ) and after employing this line of thinking, in 4 weeks, I hit diamond . Great video and really helped with my mental to comp.

[@willm7290]

You are about the only OW content creator I watch. I despise Twitch, but will go follow your stream and watch. Great content.

[@darrenmeidl]

Love that you put Gigantic footage randomly in the background! You're a real one💪

[@TheeCapN]

What's gigantic? Is it the CGI movie looking parts?

[@darrenmeidl]

@@TheeCapN It's a videogame with the giant bird and dragon

[@GlOSWRLD999]

Dude I love the way you go about and talk about these topics

[@NATURALGAMING]

EVERYTHING A10 IS SAYING IS 100% TRUE THIS ISN’T REALLY YOUR AIM OR YOUR MECHANICAL SKILLS THIS IS ALL YOUR MENTALITY AND PAYING ATTENTION AND MINMAXING ! THIS ISN’T JUST WITH GAMING THIS IS WITH THE GYM OR IF YOU WANT TO BECOME RICH !!! FINANCIAL FREEDOM AND YOUR HEALTH IS THE EXACT SAME !

[@natemango7882]

This rlly was a good wake up call. Hit ascendant in val on my main and I wanted to keep my reputation of ascendant so i stopped grinding as much. I’ve been playing on alt accs for the past 3 months and realizing that it rlly is diminishing my ability to play. Vid was rlly reassuring and made a lot of that comp anxiety go away.

[@beelzemari9342]

I am slowly but surely getting rid of my fear of failing, this video helps not just with overwatch but life as well. For example, I completely botched my first calculus 2 test, 5/25, but for the first time I thought to myself "this doesn't define me", like why should I just have one shot? Then came my next test, I didn't pass as well but I got a 12/25, I improved, at first I was sad but then I realized I improved. Then just last week, I got a 18.5/25!! I passed, I was so happy and if I had let a failure define me then I would have never thought I was capable of succeeding. I think just lot of people have this fear of failure because we have it engraved from our academic background, well U.S I can't speak for others, that's why I noticed the people I have seen succeed have been the ones who failed the most same reason why players with so many hours are often high elo, they allowed themselves to fail. They know there's chances to improve, if they didn't believe that then they would have just had 50 hours or something. It's also why I started to like playing Zenyatta after a rough day of college, "Failure is acceptable. Quitting is not", love that lil monk.

[@zensic]

Love coming back to this video from time to time! Thank you A10

[@doleo_metal]

Seriously needed to hear this message today. This is a great attitude to carry in every facet of life. Thank you for this. ❤ (and I rarely use the heart)

[@tayo_95]

This is just good advice for life. Reflect and improve who you are, you can't control others. Don't allow people to divert you from the purpose you have chosen.
