Thank you yeatle! I was bronze 3 before I watched this and then I gained 150lbs of pure muscle and 8 inches in height as well as instantly hitting GM1 thank you so much

[@diebuglers943]

I'm sorry you got the minimal results eskay overwatch 😔

Another beginner tip for Ball. You have 0.00000001 seconds of playing him before the enemy team goes Sombra! Thanks for the video Yeatle!

[@TINYHEAD69]

that is also about the same amount of time it takes before your team flames you for picking ball

Would love a more advanced guide too showcasing techs and ability management in team fights during OW2. He plays very different now I feel, and knowing when to use certain tactics would be great!

[@yeatle]

this guide did explain that though 😭 tech will be for a different video in the meantime the old tech video still has most of them

Thank you Yeatle! This was very educational! I came from GM1 to Plat in an instant! I'll be a Sombra main from now on. Thanks!

yeatle my guy how did you know I was jonesing for an updated ball guide? this upload couldn't have been more perfectly timed. you're my favorite Hammond main and your guides and VODs helped me climb as the "worst tank in the game" so thank you! nothing feels better than getting potg using your techniques.

[@Neurocyborg]

As usual you rock :) I play ball for a while yet I learned something new. I love the humor and sound effects! Thank you for the video.

[@ForTheOmnissiah]

Ball is either shat on by the team or worshipped. It's a hard place to be when you're learning him :c You'll often make a bad judgement call and your team will accuse you of being an empty slot, but if the fight went the way you judged, it'd be a completely different story.

[@kernoleary1394]

truth. Its either my team saying "ball mvp" and getting 4 endorsements, or everyone making me want to jump off a bridge 3 minutes into the game

[@cbaileychamp]

​@@kernoleary1394yeah if ur gonna learn a character like ball then just leave chat lmao.

[@chara8074]

Ball mains might be almost extinct but the few ones that still play him are INSANE

[@JPIQQG]

Just mute chat 😂

[@Ninetailsmaster16]

that's why whenever I'm learning a new hero, I just disable chat. Most the time even if everyone's playing CORRECTLY there will be someone malding in the dumpster chat anyway so it's hardly ever gonna be helpful or supportive

[@samuelraji8343]

As someone who grinded Ball last year for OW2. If you are low elo Ball is definitely not the solution for you to climb but he is very fun also keep text chat muted. Enjoy Balling

[@realms4219]

Nah man I will completely tear apart platinums and lower as a masters tank. It's actually not even fun after a while because you still get flamed

[@kernoleary1394]

I've climbed from bronze 5 to silver 2 with exclusively ball over the last 2 seasons but ill see how far it gets me :)

[@annchovie8748]

Ball stomps low Elo man. Nobody is going to focus u

[@davec8473]

I've played him for ages but still learnt so much stuff I really should have known lol thanks!

[@bazinga2]

This is such a great guide, I’ve genuinely gotten so much better as wrecking ball after watching this and grinding hours of quick play

[@das-apfel]

loved it! thx mr yontle, u got me to gm in ow1 and now ur helpin me get my rank back in ow2

[@anamamaris]

Fun and helpful video, I really enjoyed the editing & commentary. Thanks for the guide 👍 Used to play him a lot when I first started playing OW2, but I haven't played him in a long time. I wanna get back to him though so I'll keep these tips in mind

[@vincentchase7360]

[@jamesgamer1310]

HATED ball when he originally came out but the hero really has such a fun and unique way of interacting with / navigating the map. ur vids got me interested a while back and now I play only ball. If you have even some mechanical skill once you get his kit into muscle memory you can easily roll up until around mastersish

[@blueknight0782]

I have always enjoyed playing him, but this helps a lot. Thank you.

[@FirstLast-qh8it]

Very concise, thank you

[@tronicalli7587]

<a href="#" class="seekto" data-time="175">2:55</a> "but they also become less lethal" yes, in a nutshell. With a bigger spread of mines, it's 1; harder to get rid of (ahem, reinhardt shield) 2; you can just boop them into more with grapple with it being immensely easier due to the larger area, and 3; they're likely to run into one while strafing, or even if they're just holding a move key when hit by one. ☝️

[@svenb.9363]

I recently started playing ball and he fits my playstyle so well, I was suprised to see that I already use most of your tips in my playstyle. Thanks for the video yeatle.

[@yasserboumediane1010]

[@Tejeeva]

I loved these edits, espeacially that one at <a href="#" class="seekto" data-time="398">6:38</a>

[@Toadiferous]

Hopefully people start to realize how important natural cover is with one tank now. Any time my team is being smart, I can do my job as Ball. But so many times the people complaining about needing a shield are basically just feeding without using sight lines at all

[@samuelraji8343]

They are bad at the game and they will never improve they need to be less than 5 meters away at all times form the enemy to do damage. I literally play with everything muted if I am below Diamond on Ball or Winston.

[@Kuuko]

thank you so much! after this guide i'm able to curl into a perfect ball IRL and escape when my dad comes to my room with his belt!

[@mikadeksjur653]

amazing energy !

[@Connor_Kirkpatrick]

Really solid vid. Constantly made the mistake of running it down main, would often swap to shield after playing ball for any more than a minute

[@jacobpugh592]

I never really understood ball. Like at all. But for some reason you have been popping up on my youtube algorithm so much lately that I felt like giving him a try again. No idea why, but im doing soo much better. Im currently plat 2 and feel confident going ball on most maps. So thanks for helping me add another tank to my roster.

[@bruh7196]

As a new player Hammond looks really fun and unique but whenever I play as him I get shit on since I try to play him like a standart tank. But this video was really helpful. Now I have a better idea on how to play him I can't wait to try these tips thank you man you are a life saver 🙏

[@eBAM92]

The only ball guide one should follow 🤙

[@josewolf9884]

Thanks Yeatle! I want to ask you if you could make a small tips video on how to deal or prevent the common ball counters. I recently had a match where I got slept 12 times by the enemy ana while trying to dive her and I'm pretty sure I was doing so many things wrong.

[@Steefpeer]

You can start by tracking her cooldowns, they are pretty long. I'ts super rewarding to be able to get that kill because you know she just used them :)

Dont forget about being a distraction after striking, it can help your team secure eliminations, balls mobility is good at constently changing flank angles to make the enemies look in different directions away from your team

Wrecking ball's playstyle is the only reason I haven't dropped the game. It's like the shoulder charge titan in destiny 1. Very unique experience. It's like Titanfall for hamsters.

true man, but DVA literally got the titan and her ult is pretty similar to titanfall mech's self destruct, not to mention she can even call it back in if she charges it up just like in tf.

[@Very_Okay]

until they destroy this game or change this hero until he’s unrecognizable, i’ll always be playing OW for hampter. there is nothing else in gaming like playing hamtaro - and this hero is in a game with nothing else like it too, coincidentally. two great tastes that go great together. so glad i found this game (a half-decade late).

Ngl, even with the knowledge I already have as a hammond main, most of the advanced tips really seem helpful :P Although I still expect to get mauled to death once in a while, at least I know know how to dive instead of just once in a while tossing random enemies and hoping I'm doing something good for the team.
