@@qnpn382 Yea, I almost feel sorry for her.... almost. 😂

@@SoyZh I don't claim to be anything more than a silver ranked player. I post these mostly for myself to watch later. So save your sarcasm for another place where it can be put to better use.

The struggle is real. But please keep that in mind when you play against console players when you're on PC. It was a lot more balanced before Blizz forced us console players to go against pc players. And VERY annoying to get tea bagged by Moira players on PC.

@@qnpn382 So did you switch? Or did you just keep them distracted? I'd say we should play together, but it sounds like we would both be fighting to play Widow. 😂 Maybe we could take turns pocketing. 😇😁

@@APTtrainer The latter, I figured I'd keep them distracted and try to figure out how to deal with them. Haha I have done that with other Widow mains - take turns playing Widow and pocketing. Yeah, let's play together,

@@soldierofmidgar03 Yea, I hear the sarcasm. 😏 This was a horrible game that took bringing in Sym at the end to mop up my mess. I save these games for myself to re-watch, and I find humor in a really horrible game that I got carried in, but that Sym got POTG, in the 1 min I played her. And I always post my current rank in the video description. Mostly I like to save my good games, but every once in a while, something funny happens which will make me save a poopy one.

Aww thanks!

Yea, I've got some real zingers. 😉

Poor Venture, nothing! Lol, that dude/gal was hunting me most of the game. 😅 But yea, I love maps where you can kind of go "off map." 😈

@@qnpn382 Aww thanks! I'm prolly about 6 mos behind on posting videos (meaning it was Sep and I was posting videos from April Fool's, but I wasn't to keep posting them in order. I've just got a huge backlog.) Anyway, my point is that when they reworked the rankings a couple mos ago, I've been hovering around Gold 2. I think I'm going to seek coaching to see if I can tap Plat. Any recommendations?

@@APTtrainer Wow Gold 2...Nice! Unfortunately, I do not have any recommendations - nowhere near your level. I just really enjoy watching your videos, because I get to see real progression. It's great seeing unedited flows of games of different ranks as well as the game senses that accompany them. Cheers!

Very sweet of you! OW game ranking tells me I still need a lot of work, though. 😅

@@APTtrainer you will get there! You really are a good player

Well there was a little grumbling but it was more in the direction of how the game is built versus any particular person. But agreed that is different. And refreshing.

Console!

@@APTtrainer same

Nice! I was silver 2 until they recently changed up the ranks, to spread out the high end and low end people. So now I'm currently at gold 2. But this was recorded before that change, so I'm prolly silver in this video.

@@APTtrainer ahh alright then fair enough

Honestly, here's what I look at (and this is purely just my suspicions that don't really mean anything): No player card, title and/or icon, level 1 or 2 endorsement, private career profile, but great gameplay. Now, to be fair, most people are better than me, but not when you're brand new to a game. And so freaking easy to create a new account. And here at the low levels, I have to endure a LOT of "new account" players. I don't save the games where I'm getting my face pushed in... those aren't fun to relive. 😅

@@Apto_o Oh and to be clear, I think he's playing at a higher level than the rest of us, which makes it easier for the rest of us to do our jobs.

@@APTtrainer hmm , okay that leads to two conclusions, either it's an alt account, or a new account

​@@Apto_o If it was a new account, I don't think he'd be playing so well.

@@azazellol2372 Close! I'm Silver!

@@sweatdarthclips3270 Sure! I'm not sure if you can teach an old dog new tricks, but I would be game!

@APTtrainer it's all about determination! Life is genuinely limitless and whether your an old dog or new you can accomplish anything! If you want, feel free to send me a code to replay and I'll definitely vod review. My channel is SweatdarthTF

@@sselesussecnirp No, this is controller on PS5. I didn't know that Xbox doesn't allow Match Chat. But that would explain why my Xbox buddy always gets nasty comments sent directly thru his console instead of in-game.

@APTtrainer I play xbox and match chat exist and it can be very bad at times but diamond plus you start to see more respectful people

@@APTtrainer I wasn't aware they added match chat to consoles at all. The point of getting nasty dms is two-fold: 1. People are used to having to use DMs for match chat 2. Not all toxic players like to do it publicly, almost like they know it's wrong but can't help themselves.

Oh jeez. I guess I'm lucky that there are asshats who are prevented from sharing their asshatery publicly because they feel shame! Lol! I can barely tolerate the 10% who do it for everyone to see!

@@rukishiemu That took me awhile to figure out what was happening! Lol

@@APTtrainer lol dw happens to the best of us <3

@@xScheve Thank you! I'm not always good about seeing patch notes.

@@ogsus5773 People like you are the reason this game is so toxic.

@@qnpn382 What a kind comment! I just save my better games to watch later... maybe when I'm so old I can't play anymore, lol. 😅

Sure! I don't play support very often and am not very good with any of them to be honest.

@@APTtrainer If you're mercy and you're going for kills you should go for people that are already low or for squishy characters, you shouldn't be shooting tanks too much, if you want to get the kill on the tank try to last hit them so in the mean time you can do other things. When you use your valkyrie you're very unhittable because of your movement so you should use it, you should be flying everywhere in your ult, not shoot the hog while bassically standing still, you're making it easy for him to kill you. You should dmg boost ults that benefit from it, like a moira ult. You should be trying to dmg boost your dps as much as possible and focus less on healing and the tanks unless they really need it, you were heal botting a tiny bit. Especially dps like cassidy are really good for pocketing and dmg boosting. When people take the high ground you should follow them there, it's more advantageous. You can get on high ground more even by yourself since you're mercy, you can shift jump more. You could also dmg boost a little dva so she gets her mech back faster. But these are just some things i thought i noticed, you're doing great. Especially for your elo it seems to be working out great. I can tell you like like dpsing a lot so idk if you'd enjoy mercy that much since people don't want her to be shooting much haha

​@@baizhuughthatguy3932Thank you for the input! I need to read this every Friday when I play because I usually always start with Mercy, just to get my eyeballs adjusted to the movement. So less healbotting on tanks, more dps boosting/healing on damage heros, use higher ground more, fly more while ulting, shoot at low health targets. I do struggle with the movement on Mercy b/c I'm console, and can't do some of the tricks pc players can do with her, but I'll work on these things! Thank you!

Because I'm silver ranked. 😅 And not a bro, although it would be easy to assume that given I play video games. ☺️

Has never been my plan - just wanted to store my videos somewhere so that one day when I can no longer play, I have some fun gaming moments to relive. 😁 But thank you for the kind words!

I can't tell if that's sarcasm. 😅

Aww, thank you! Trying to get better but there's so many cheaters & toxic players in this game it's getting disheartening.

Aww, thanks! I've been working on better positioning, so hopefully it's noticeable in more recent videos.
