Mercy rez is so fucking stupid

If i turn around on concole i lose the point lmao

also feel like supports in certain scenarios can help you with "turning around" for instance in that match where it was a 2v5 orisa and ana I feel like in a comp game with coms ana can say stuff like "just me and you" or "come back its just us" so instead of putting your back against the whole team you can back up while maintain focus of minimizing death chances

This cured me

Realised this sometime ago. Went from plat to master winton 1t

Jesus, managing OW content and med school’s crazy, you’re dedicated asf. Good luck on both!!!

I feel like there are 2 tyoes of lucio players. Good ones and ines who dont care. For the most part a lucio who just does the bare minimum of standing near teammates with heal on is almost always perfectly servicable as a support. The other is always, and i mean always, the lucio who just is all over the map going solo and has 2k heals at the end and 12-20 deaths. I don't think i have ever seen any in between. And i dont think the people who do that care at all.

Turning around to look at your team before you dive is the equivalent of looking both ways before crossing the road.

I have my own guide for you guys. How to carry on tank and have fun. Step 1 wait until 6v6 comes back or play a custom 6v6 games. Step 2 get good. Congratulations you did it your on your way to being the best overwatch player ever.

I've had your videos recommened to me many times before, but for some reason i didn't want to watch them (judging a book by it's cover). However, i've watched many coaching videos on tanks or other heroes, however coaches rarely explain what the basic terminology actually means and showing examples of it. I finally understood what peel and holding space actually mean. Thank you for making this video!

Why team not push up 🤔

COACH I STILL DON'T TURN AROUND ENOUGH! But after watching this video I know I'm going focus on doing that in my games Too often do I go deep on the enemy backline and say "WHERE IS MY TEAM?!?" WHY? BECAUSE I DID NOT TURN TF AROUND 😭

So basically: Babysit your dumb teammates and don't feed. The yapping during the Junkertown examples missed the mark but the other examples were fine. It's like 2 different people made the script for this video. 1 knew what he was talking about and the other was just padding the script.

0:15 good song choice

8:26 we do see the ram is alone but can we talk about why's the entire team so far behind? what angle is ashe holding? junks angle makes sense, whys juno is that room too? and mercy is just pocketing ashe. yes ram's fault for staying there alone and not staying w his team but i think we should address what the rest of the team was doing too, specially when ashe mercy juno can def have better positioning to help out the ram and not the other way around. if the ram backs up, they just donate that entire space to the enemy team

This felt like a personal attack. After i got over the realization ive been flaming support for the past 4 seasons i realized this shit actually really helpful (just going flame dps instead)

3:32 I fundamentally disagree with this. There's a reason why the term "tank privilege" (basically "adjust") is used in most MMORPG's nowadays. It's because there's some things tanks will ignore because it's not their job and they have enough stuff to track in encounters as is. Having to worry about whether or not your Widow has proper line of sight is not a tank's job. Just... IN GENERAL it's not the tanks job to position around his team. The team should be positioning around the tank. Otherwise, why even let the tank choose encounters? He should just hang back in safe areas near his team and die and let his team blame him for not taking space because the tank needs to be positioning around his team instead of the enemy team. When you play a tank... you HAVE to assume that your team will follow you and position around you. Because if you assume that your team REFUSES to position around you... then all you can do is play safe, and most of those matches will be losses because that will free up space for the enemy tank to get into better positions to wipe out your team. It's really quite simple: If you ARE the tank, positioning is your number 1 goal and your position should almost always remove space for the enemy tank to position into. If you AREN'T the tank you need to be positioning around the player that is. End of discussion. Edit: I should clarify that I still agree with the commenter at the time that I linked that the better play would have been to be positioned in a way that benefits the Widowmaker; I simply think it's the Widowmaker's job to position herself in a place that she can get LoS during a fight in which her tank is actively engaged in battle. That's not to say that being aware of your healers LoS isn't important, it's just in heated fights as a tank (assuming your healer is still alive) you have to assume that your healer is at least trying to keep up with their tank's movements. With that said... yea turning around and knowing where your team is located is great advice and should be done before every fight.

I have been saying "turn around, JUST TURN AROUND!" in this game for years, and while I'm still in Gold because nobody will actually do it as Reaper or whoever flanks yet again, at least it makes me feel better to know that it's the right thing to be telling people...though, the fact that this will still be the case even in Master's suggests I should just give up entirely

TLDW: as a tank, turn around to check where your team is, use line of sight, be wary of your teams positioning before push a teamfight.

Welp- guess whos out of gold tank because of this

Learn ball and doomfist, they get to bypass the gameplay loop that most of the other tanks have to engage in which is sit on a safe angle in neutral and wait for the poke solution. If you aggress in the neutral phase on the other tanks you end up demanding resources which would be better used on your dps teammates instead (lamp, suzu etc.) On doom you just slam cycle, build ult and use empowered punch on the enemy tanks backline to pick off a support or just bait out there cds. If your team still can't kill the enemy tank when they don't have resources then your team just sucks.

11:00 HAHAHAHAHA THIS ANA IS CLUELESS 😭

Good video, i myself see most people dont look around on any role, but information is crucial on tank. But i dont play the role anymore bc of oneshots, and simm being busted for 4 seasons straight

Oh my! Homeless Coaching is doing a video on his Overwatch 1 main 🐐🤯 Listen to your Coach the goat! Sometimes it’s better to GET OUT after forcing enemy key cooldowns; This is essentially edging on Goonfist’s!!!

Thank you for being a homeless man so you can attire true knowledge of being a tank. Thank you for your sacrifice

My homeless coach is back at it again with an amazing analysis on shield usage Sigma tips I learnt from the 🐐: - 3 bodies, 3 chokeholds -> Shield; body; balls Sigma can threaten the enemy push like no other tank!!! ☄️ - use the downtime between sigma balls to look around! (Team, Enemy flank) -> what really needs my shield COACH I LOVE YOU 🤟 _Tengune out

Watching this got me a home

0:13 too real

This guy is the 🐐 He coached my Tengune ram enabling me to be one of the best rams in high Diamond 🔥 Notice the cool-down cycling awareness! - Take space with your shield, - slow enemies by DENYING THEIR ESCAPE with vortex, - poke out those squishies with your goony nanites in omnic chad form Tengune out 🫡

Bro is healing the ranks and irl🙏

Hoping to get to plat this season. My peak so far is gold 2.

Amazing video and great explanations! Could you please make a video on wrecking ball? I know there are some particularities with ball in regard to these tips.

I agree being in LOS of your team is extremely important on tank. However I think it's important to clarify with the exception of Dva and specific scenarios where you can capitalise on a out of position flanger, it is not your job as the tank to hard peel for your supports. I see so many times supports dying in the back from a sombra, tracer, ball etc. and complaning for the tank to look behind and help. When the tank does help peel for there supports they lose so much space and the enemy team can push up for free and kill the whole team.

Who are you

I had to turn around just to make sure you weren’t talking to the person behind me. There was no one there. I’m dead.

I just hate when you want to try a different angle and none of your team follows you

Can you show more examples ? I know it seems like common sense but creating a part 2 with more examples and with pro games would really REALLY help. Also I’ve liked and subscribed to your channel. Good stuff !

Would you be in support for a mini map so that turning around wasn't necessary and this was more intuitive?

WE LEARNING HOME HOW TO RANK WITH THIS ONE BOYS 🗣️ 🔥

this hit harder than the 2008 housing collapse that left me homeless

Very good video. Points are extremely relevant

yea, but when I watch replay, I have line of sight, I have 4 enemy players in front of me, but my team dies to a single genji, what? they lost 4v1? so I checked pov, oh, the widow is off by herself, dies to genji, then genji one shot the hanzo as well, who is out of LOS of his healers ofc, then genji blades our ana, and dies to kiriko..that is just me, I can't be fked peeling a 4v1, if I lose, I lose.

For the hog (chedbundy) example, this a case of overconfidence. Pros and top 500 play like this a lot, but it's because they hit their cool downs. If he hooked the tracer, the other 2 would have likely fallen back.

Sadly these videos are useless no matter what role you play... Best example the last ranking reset, I platinum 4 support am now thrown together with bronze silver teammates. Those who can't get anything done, point out something in a friendly manner and are immediately flamed. In the end my teammates have 5 kills despite pocket heal. I always try to learn something new from such videos but in the end they are useless if you have teammates who can do absolutely nothing🥴🙏🏼 And no, I'm definitely not the best player but when I'm put together with Bronze Silver players, I get so damn pissed And I would love to turn the head of the Blizzard employee who came up with this idea of wide Q 🤝🏽

That whooshing sfx at 3:01 scared me and its not even halloween yet.

A lot of this could be solved if they just gave us a minimap with team icons

Hoping to get out of plat this season. I hit Diamond 4 on dps just to go on an insane loss streak 😞

As reinhardt, when you keep your shield up and hold your attack button, you can look around, which makes the looking back a lot easier. The game never explains this and I don't know a lot of people that know about it!

this rly works however it only works if you remember to do it and i have seen alot of players look at something like this before their game just to forget about it ingame. Thats why i have found solution and im not joking. just look up 1 hour of silence broken up by random vinebooms or something like that and turn it on full volume. Then everytime you hear that you remember to turn around it sounds like a joke but it really works

This is why the should add a mini map that shows your team mates 🤫
