As a War Thunder player, I recommend the game (The snail has my family held hostage)

[@elipticalcurves1217]

omw to war thunder to leak classified documents of wrecking balls schematics

[@uhhhhidektbh]

And still proceed to lose the argument

[@youtuberobbedmeofmyname]

I love how thats what WT is known for now.

[@JugsMcNasty]

14:50 "So long as it doesn't meet a strong opposing force" Like a 90 lbs. British gal😂

You forgot the Piñata: lying in wait hanging from the ceiling only to pop ultimate on the unsuspecting enemies

[@batatanna]

Nah it's called ballsacking

[@muremuresen3725]

i think of it like a bat hang, a vampire ready to suck the blood of his unsuspection enemies

[@TheGingerbrett]

I like Chazm's version 'SACCMAXXING'

[@user-wk2mw3wi2y]

Ball should automatically transfer overhealth to allies when adaptive shield expires. It's a small QOL change but kind of like auto-reload it would be a huge help.

[@cagxplays9602]

no, stop making ball brain dead, he's a high skill hero, we need to stop lowering his skill ceiling.

[@notaspider4084]

nah. it should be on the ball to press E

[@tailgrowth]

4:39 they changed it so that reloading is about half a second faster when doing it normally as opposed to in your ball. In many cases I still prefer to reload in the ball because I'm usually doing something else at the same time, but there are some situations where you might just want to focus on getting your bullets up as fast as possible, so you'd want to stay in crab form instead.

[@BananaWasTaken]

9:12

[@cagxplays9602]

Only time i ever reload in crab is when i know there are no stuns near me, otherwise its usually always ball.

[@JugsMcNasty]

I hope this update helps more people pickup Ball so we can end all the ball hate. Best hero in game, only reason I still play tbh

[@MaxKurtin]

I downloaded Warthunder and put 500$ into it already! Thanks for the recommendation, Yeatle!

[@BallotBoxer]

Expert Ball seminar with past and present Yeatles as guest speakers. Even the Overwatch devs are here taking notes.

[@BroBruhBruv]

I haven’t tried the spider ball tech yet! Looks fun af!

[@hellfiregaming1904]

Not only is yeatle very knowledgeable with his words and has a great IQ but he also rocks the best stache!

[@McApplebees_does_not_exist]

You're missing an opportunity for damage, when in air shoot down at the enemy, then use slam and by the time the enemy realize, you have cool down for grapple again and you can speed away or sling up in air again and do it over

[@ruinknightsir]

Most of us call skyball slingshot. I called the scooper wraparound (You win the naming convention here). I called spin-2-win 2.0 Reel-to-spin. I didn't give a good name for spiderball.

[@tlns_p4in982]

Probably an hour before Release of this video i was searching for wrecking ball Tipps and watched the old video of you. Im stoked you actually Released an updated Version

[@jordanbarnett7247]

lol I remember the original tip video. Watched it and applied basically all of that to my ball game

[@jimjimsauce]

i know wall jumping on players is super niche but i did it to a ram today and i was so giddy

[@BiscuitMan14]

Finally, a new Yeatle tech guide. Thank you sir.

[@urboi7276]

You should make a guide on how to play ball and the things to keep in mind to play ball well in high ranked plz and thank you

[@charKT-7461]

keep your therapist on speed dial. that's one important tip

[@jeagerist4072]

Your putting me back in the game with these videos

[@fuuka69420]

eyy ma boi yeatle is getting sponsored lezzz gawr! just for my man I am not going to skip it and watch the whole thing!

[@686Nadeau]

My favorite ball tech is when the game start, use grapple to loop around back to spawn to switch character

[@Lennystan_]

i jump on heads to use piledriver while contesting in ot often, it is very niche. the main spot i use it is lijang night market, i use grapple for the fast recontest over the gap, then jump off someones head for an easy piledriver. i also use it in a 1v1 situation if there arent any other ways to land a piledriver, like if im out in the open or no grapple cd

[@VerrouSuo]

1:07 theres another version of this where you get just the right angle on your retract and you land seamlessly on the high ground -- and im pretty sure it makes no sound which could prove very useful ive been calling it NIL (no-impact land) because im a smash player but

[@donkeyhigh8420]

They should make a highlight-intro for Ball where he comes hooking in like the Widow one, only he's in Crab-mode. As a nudge to OG Ball-players.

[@timbarrett4580]

21:30 This is the majority of wall jumps I do now-a-days haha. It's pretty easy to do a fireball super jump off a flat wall if you hit it at an angle like this

[@Magnum-qq5bz]

Usually when i see ball I think they are just mindlessly rolling around and slamming but this gave some appreciation for the mechanical depth he has I wanna pick him up now 😭

[@defragsbin]

I initially thought the little inset video was Young Yeatle from the years old video, but it's Today's Yeatle dispensing ball wisdom.

[@gabrielchaney1577]

yeatle's educational content is so effing good.

[@TgPepper]

Yeatle just deciding he gets to name the techs now, I mean whatever I can’t stop him 🤷🏽‍♀️

[@cagxplays9602]

Yeah, skyball is definitely called slingshot, not skyball. Skyball is the playstyle, not the tech.

[@SallyFeeshYT]

The Toronto Kick is such an awesome name in comparison to other techs that's literally just called "(insert ability or terrain here) tech"

[@GSPV33]

Just came back to OW to try Wrecking Ball again. INCREDIBLY fun. Great updates.

[@Gibbypastrami]

They need to have the WB voice actors make voice lines around the new mechanics, I want a deadpan “…retracting…” lol

[@Velo298]

14:19, one more use for rebound is to do a toronto kick/retract into a piledriver and then rebound and run them over, and with the fireball you gain from your rebound you can escape back to your team for heals/a health pack. Also, toronto kick is way more flexible than what you said in the video, if you're good at it

[@nickaguirre2196]

always love 2 see new Ball tech man

[@jonnyrhombus_1065]

I just played 4 outSTANDING games of wrecking ball and it was some of the most fun this game has to offer!! Thanks for the expert advice!

[@Gibbypastrami]

Honestly wouldn’t be mad about calling the retract PD “Toronto Kick 2.0” Like, I’m pretty sure this mechanic change was to making Toronto Kicking easier lol

[@baiwatch1]

Now I can live out my lifelong dream of being a Droideka from Episode I.

[@JugsMcNasty]

Rebound was always hard for me on console lol but the new ball geometry changes made it so much easier

[@internetrules8522]

as a genji player, im mad that you guys get to keep your cool techs

[@benkupiszewski8370]

My fellow Ball enthusiasts: What's the best input for the retract the grapple? I don't like space because I like the classic spin to win and being able to bounce as Yeatle mentions in the video.

[@notaspider4084]

Yeatle keeping the ball game alive by being one of the three people who still play hamster in 2024 overwatch. Respect

[@witbyy]

i found a new tech in training range on console, not sure how to recreate it, where shall i send the video?

[@7sson-hasson-310]

As a somb main i appreciate your exposure

[@legiongaming99]

Okay I said if you could Spider man with Ball i'd play again imma try it out this is gonna be looney toons shenanigan's!

[@StarCrow77Gaming]

Noice man I'm a doomfist main just learning how to beat y'all more

[@HamburgerWasteland]

How do I pull off the legendary anti Sombra tech?

[@cagxplays9602]

Skyball is the playstyle, slingshot is the tech.

[@M.A.R.S.]

Love learning new tricks to do with my ball

[@M.A.R.S.]

just the one

[@christopherbahena5955]

I’ve had to deal Hamster 🐹 as Kirko main. On PC. The Catch is I play on controller. None the less Hamster 🐹 has multiple fighting styles as 🏀 ball form and with his guns 🔫 These are exciting times for Hammond mains

[@Endlingline]

bro i never knew you had to do a backwards imput for the wall jump. The moment you said that i instandly went to practice it. And i almost hit every single one. Finally i can become a pro ball

[@cagxplays9602]

You can bind jump to scroll wheel to make it easier to hit jump too, i dont do it personally but many ball players do as some people struggle to consistently hit both buttons together.

[@Veimat-tv6mf]

Love the music an real helpfully

[@leecoulon6790]

I think Ball needs a Wheel of fortune skin! Spin to win!

[@freshoutthevault1216]

New mecanics: abandoning your team to the enemy Orisa and increase enemies DPS stats

[@LegitChipmmunk1002]

All my ball teammates seem to love this tech

[@tosderomph1273]

isnt the hanging super high and then slamming called a slackmax

[@Gibbypastrami]

Anubis should def come back in some way like Hanamura

[@Heroes_55]

When new education ball video ?

[@jos7496]

Powerstance patch will never be forgiven

[@destinykd12]

Let’s go baby

[@nullnull629]

They stealth nerfed the repeated regrappling. It seems really inconsistent but it resets your timer so you can’t hang indefinitely

[@yeh386]

Its still there, you have to time it. When you grapple as youre moving down fast, it will put you in fireball mode for a split second before you manage to retract, since retract is not instant. Thats why sometimes you might get the cooldown. But when you practice it you can do it indefinitely. Doing spiderball is my new routine in spawn while waiting for the match to start because its fun haha

[@oscarcottle6362]

You are right I am console and I have literally only been doing the 15° one lol

[@defragsbin]

Minor comment: a walljump doesn't require opposite input -- you can let go of W a little earlier and not press S at all -- it's all the same. I use the opposite input method like you, but I know at least one high level baller that just hits walls dead-on & uses W only. I pracced it for a while and it works fine, it's the same but different.

[@burstvgc]

Wait isn't there the LOS boop tech that allows you to double and triple boop in certain map geometries?

[@cagxplays9602]

boop, los the enemy, boop again, yes. Hard to pull off consistently but good tech.

[@elara1925]

11:11 remember when cass wasn't a tank 🥲

[@hoolly]

Wall Reset would be a thing that is also very interesting Cause you dont need to stop the fireball... kinda the same as double boop if you boop somebody with fireball hit the wall after that with that fireball - you can actually u-turn the same person with the same fireball and it will connect Found that Short about this new tech kzbin.infoOfeaZ2FEJgo

Anyone remember the early days of ball when you'd grapple and sometimes get pulled under the map?😂 Oasis I believe was the worst map for this

[@solidforge2016]

Giving shields to your teammates doesn't give them shields for the full duration unfortunately. It's just 4 seconds. I wish it was longer.

[@kliveran]

O boy i can't wait to have fun whit ball until blizzard nerf him again for no reason

[@aersla1731]

I miss the hamster cam.

[@ayyjack]

pulling out the xbox controller to stunt on the console ballers is crazy lmaoo

[@rcwlson1]

I feel like if i practice these I could clean out gold elo. You wouldn't really get away with some of these all the time in top 500, but at a low rank people's minds would fry trying to comprehend what just happened to them.

[@nullnull629]

Nah at low elo the whole team just counterswaps

[@Flash_Flood]

Why is it called a "Toronto" kick?

[@dontaskdude682]

I think I remember hearing the path ball follows when doing it looks like the Toronto Defiant logo. Also sounds cool I think

[@bedeviere]

YOOOO WAR THNUNDER BAG

[@sparquisdesade]

I have always told people to be careful what you complain about being OP in OW, because like clockwork the Devs will almost always nerf said annoying thing only to give a much more crazy op version to someone else outta left field. People bitched endlessly about Pharah living in the skybox, they nerf her, an then like clockwork what do we have now? Ball of all heroes being able to have more in air time now than Pharmacy ever did.

why not call the sky ball tech the "high baller" ?

I think taking a break from ow ranked bcuz of stress to play warthunder is a huge mistake.😂

Too bad balls counters still require 0 skill and he still has one of the worst boops in the game.

[@TheTiredPhrog]

[@jordanbarnett7247]

Get that war thunder bag my boy hahaha

[@Gibbypastrami]

Bruh I haven’t played much in awhile, v sad ledge skipping is gone

[@Gibbypastrami]

Yup u can def can wall jump on controller I used to do it all the time, but it’s def not as easy with lower sensitivities to do wall jumps and rebounds, and in the heat of battle it gets even harder lol Edit: bruh I wish I knew that sideways jump lol, and the hard part about controller, what I was struggling with at first, was PAUSING between inputs, like, you have to hold forward on left stick, then right before you hit the wall, *you stop inputting on the left stick,* then as you hit the wall, backwards input I would just go forward until I hit the wall and then backwards, which would just do a slow rebound lol, def gotta get the muscle memory down, but I’ve def accidentally done that sideways jump and didn’t realize what I was doing In general ball was harder for me when my sensitivity was lower, when I was first playing him, if my sens was high my accuracy was low and vice versa lol

[@Gibbypastrami]

I used to accidentally walljump people all the time because I was a massive feeder going through the enemy team, jumping on the tank while in ball form and holding PD

[@LFanimes333]

As a console player, I will just stick to slamming harder and occasionally using angled platforms for jumps. Also super jumping with the new retract, because this one actually works.

[@LettuceHands]

wow thanks! I am a shitty ass silver 5 ball. I won't be now :)
