The amount of control you have over the game is amazing to watch. And I also love that you are not getting cocky when dominating low elos, very gentleman like of you.
He is getting cocky, by creating more and more accounts to dominate low ranks. He could show how to play Ball against people of his rank, but it's so pleasant and fun for him to destroy silver.
@@DarkN3r0 hmm, I don't watch regularly. I thought he does it only once per season? Assuming how fast he climbs, he's just a few games in silver and gold.
@@Teh-Penguin I watched the first 3 games, and they were all in silver. This video is just about ruining low-ranked games. Why doesn't he show how to play Ball against people of his level instead of self-esteeming in low ranks?

16:15 this is a great point; make yourself annoying and exhausting to shoot. people will shoot whatever gets them the most hitmarkers the quickest. just constantly diving behind corners and cover or rolling through, messing up their comms ''ball behind!'' they turn and you've already left. that kinda stuff brings insane value
I love the point he makes about engaging with full health. One mistake I have made on Ball is engaging without my armor or shield health simply because I think they won't shoot me, when in reality the whole team starts shooting me because I'm now a killable target.
@@solidforge2016 Being full health is super important. I like to think of it like this: Choose any character and nerf their HP by 10 or 20%. They probably become unplayable.
@@thomashigginsmusicI think he’s saying he wants to play the character but the game is so bad that it makes the character not fun when they just counter it..
Ace video. Really appreciate the assistance with the play style, I've been playing ball since he released and you've pretty much always been a major help on that front. Thanks yeatle!
true. also - most comp-ready accounts that are sold online are leveled by low ranked players, they're also almost always DPS players - so you log in, start playing tank - the game has no idea where to put you, it's almost always Silver. If Yeatle had bought a FRESH account, no play-time, and did his own 50 qp wins, the game would learn his MMR and he would likely get a placement around plat-diamond. You can also buy high MMR comp-ready accounts by higher level players. pretty sure that's how Cloudy ended up placing Masters 3 only winning 5 placement games rein-only on Korean servers lmao.
I can't believe I've denied myself the enjoyment of playing ball for so long. I mean sure, I am losing 9/10 tank games now but for the first time since OW2 released I'm actually having fun playing tank. I don't care if I'm going to drop to bronze, as long as I can keep having fun as ball I'll learn how to get better and climb back to where I was.
finally a new ball to gm video been wanting to see this since the beginning of ow2. would be nice seeing for every hero you've done already a new unrank to gm
I am going to Paris soon and I will tell the 🐀 that live there that he needs to stop making Ratatouille all day and watch the best Chef on youtube so he can also learn How to cook a MASTERPIECE!!!
This has given me so much knowledge not just for the ball but what to do against sombra, widows… Focusing dps vs healers…. Knowing where to initiate, when to retreat and knowing sometimes you just die. Thank you for all the knowledge 🤝😮💨
I recently watched your u2gm series in Overwatch1, because it's probably the best unranked 2 gm there is. Can't believe u did another one, makes me so happy :))
Game 8 on Rialto was really a masterclass of why a higher rated tank is able to take over a game. You single handedly got 2 points for free by harassing the enemy team 1v5 and then were able to completely nullify their push just by stalling and knowing your limits. I've only made it that far, but that game was really really impressive.
lol the look on Yeatle's face after that first map, when he realized how long of a series this was going to be. Man, thanks updating the ball unranked to gm, we appreciate ya!
not at all trying to start drama or “conversations”, just making a point abt your point abt ‘Shout’ at like 50:45. i watch a lot of Ballers, including Moreweth; and someone asked Weth what he thought about Shout or why he didn’t use it in that moment or something… and Weth responded like laughing and sarcastically said “what is that?” bc he almost never uses it. but the thing is, it shows. he’s always complaining about his team dying, and it’s often people who are diving w him or while he’s sitting on 300+ shields that don’t get used. if he used shout more in certain situations, he’d be even better than he is right now. (i am plat 4, take everything i said with a boulder of salt)
Ha... I'm relatively new to "hard maining" a hero but gone for ball now, and while I get blips of thinking "yea that was smooth/skilled...can see some improvement", what I cannot do like upper tier players do, yeatle especially, is follow up a boop>slam with head rattling aim... I boop/slam then "gently massage" them with 40% accuracy and they get bailed out, have to rely on dps to spot the near-kill to prop me up, Yeatle just locks on and drops them over and over.
@@blowbags2008 Yeah, people don't realize that when we say Ball is a mechanically difficult hero, we aren't JUST talking about grapple physics and techs (which are hard of course). Ball's kill potential is REALLY important and pure aim is important on ball too. Yeatle can get a lot more kills because of his aim than a masters Ball for example.
My toxic trait is that i think I can do all these things immediately after watching. 😅 Thank you for this video, I used to play Ball in OW1 but stopped because it got too hard. I'm trying to get back on relearning him, and this is incredibly helpful. I love the way you explain your moves, where you set up, etc. 🐹
The only player who explains things very cool and correctly instead of people who do u2gm and are like "we just kill them here cause they are bad players" untill they almost hit GM
Ball needs one… just one little micro tweak/buff to make him so much better! And that is a new passive: CCC (crowd control controlled) When Wrecking Ball is hit with CC, for every second he is under CC, his adaptive shields cooldown is sped up (like venture when underground and drill dash). This fixes a lot of issues with Sombra (Sombruh) and other CC like Anna sleep, preventing him from just getting double or triple CC and dying, he now can suddenly pop adaptive shields RIGHT as soon as his original shields fail if the enemy uses a enormous cc comp!
I'm very impressed by how you make it looking easy. Your movements are so smooth. It's just like you are doing what you want when you want. I'm trying Ball since few days and my grapple is never as clever as yours, I finish my useless pulls into walls ! XD. Good job you are very good and inspiring !
Things I learned 6 minutes in *retracting to get to high ground *not fireballs allows you to get grapple h faster *when multiple enemies are around (if bumping one, keep the hook and go back and bump the others.
I well be totaly and brutally onest, I'm really jealous. Given the fact that you learned your way here, to learn the control and master the character, i cant even begin to understand the basics of movementes, and the game filled with toxic player obviously dont help a lot. That being said, i also want to tank you, because your videos are of great inspiration, and also are a great source of learning. Keep up the good work ❤
I've played sooo much ball. Gold level, first sentence of this video I already learned something new. I didn't know the grapple cooldown is less if you don't get fireball.
The best thing I learned from this is that if you force out enemy team's abilities prematurely then they won't be able to use them to either defend themselves or use it offensively against your team and die giving you absolutely massive value.
He mentions its all about where and when to be, and I agree, however is aim is also quite nice to fully capitalize on being in the right spot, I think when youre this good at the game you forget how good your aim is compared to the average person
Alsoooo, I’m only an hour in but with your sammich technique it is extra beneficial because it really allows you to maximize those shields and drop em on your teammate just another benefit to it :)
I have already learned SO much from this, and have applied as much as I can in matches... but I do have to say the biggest issue I have run across (besides enemy counter-swapping) is Bastion (FYI this is casual playing only as of now) Bastion I will force turret form, run away, then suddenly someone on my team dies to the bastion as he was already in turret form and then he rounds a corner, already prepared looking for me, but instead finds a DPS or Support on my team and obliterates them... Yea I did my job, my team still dies lmao.
Do you have any videos on how to play WITH ball? I struggle a ton as support/DPS especially if I'm not diving with him (ie ball is the outlier in the comp). I usually manage to get by because Ball is pretty rare in my games, but knowing how to better play with him would be great.
I'm at the beginning of your video saying that ppl complain that everybody shoots them, that's positioning and you are 100% right, my usual problem with ball is that while I'm trying to scout and set up my teammates already die, no matter how fast I do it. Like they need babysitting with a shield tank. It's doesn't matter usually that I'm fighting against both supports. That is my usual problem.
What do you recommend for the grapple retract keybind and why? I don't like any of the other choices, especially since I bound piledrive on my mouse on mouse 5, I think, in OW1.
@yeatle is super correct about aim mechanics etc., vs game sense, timing, pacing, setups, all that. If you ever see Shroud sometimes checking out OW2, he usually gets shit on in Plat even though his aim is significantly better than everyone in the lobby. Also one thing I really want to point out here with this video is look at how "good" your teams always play, their stats absolutely stomp the other team's stats every single time...this is because Overwatch is a team game, and when people here in chat aren't playing tank well, their team is going to do poorly too. Their weak scoreboard performance is typically a reflection of you on tank, not them on support/dps.
So i know I'm a little late to this video with a question, but I was wondering how people deal with ball counters like symm, mei, and the scariest one, hog hooking you into junkrat blowing you up. I'd like to play ball more often, so any tips to muscle my way through counters like these would be great.

Good job you are very good and inspiring !
getting rolled by yeetle would be an honor
No puns intended 😏
that nade following yeatle all the way through a hallway on eichenwald is crazy
Things I learned 6 minutes in
*retracting to get to high ground
*not fireballs allows you to get grapple h faster
*when multiple enemies are around (if bumping one, keep the hook and go back and bump the others.
Came for the ball play, stayed for the ball play
YESSSS this will give me food for days
How can I improve my aim? I try to target supports and everything, but I can't manage to confirm kills (average 25% precision). Any tips for that?
So satisfying to see a ball with almost 100% awareness, thats very hard.
Great video. Helped my game a bunch!
I well be totaly and brutally onest, I'm really jealous. Given the fact that you learned your way here, to learn the control and master the character, i cant even begin to understand the basics of movementes, and the game filled with toxic player obviously dont help a lot. That being said, i also want to tank you, because your videos are of great inspiration, and also are a great source of learning. Keep up the good work ❤
first wreking bawl tech: MUTE
This is such good content. You are miles ahead of all the other so called 'educationol' streamers.
I like how Yeatle messes up a lot, especially the mechanics, but he still manages to be top tier and explain how he does so
Ball feels the best its felt since ow1 imo
I've played sooo much ball. Gold level, first sentence of this video I already learned something new. I didn't know the grapple cooldown is less if you don't get fireball.
The best thing I learned from this is that if you force out enemy team's abilities prematurely then they won't be able to use them to either defend themselves or use it offensively against your team and die giving you absolutely massive value.
2:26:27 ball and yeatle lookin at eachother like they can read eachothers minds
He mentions its all about where and when to be, and I agree, however is aim is also quite nice to fully capitalize on being in the right spot, I think when youre this good at the game you forget how good your aim is compared to the average person
I remember the first OW unranked to gm wrecking ball. Good times.
Alsoooo, I’m only an hour in but with your sammich technique it is extra beneficial because it really allows you to maximize those shields and drop em on your teammate just another benefit to it :)
I went to Li Jiang, Yun Nan, China a couple years ago, it was a very beautiful city. Definitely worth visiting once in your life time.
I have already learned SO much from this, and have applied as much as I can in matches... but I do have to say the biggest issue I have run across (besides enemy counter-swapping) is Bastion (FYI this is casual playing only as of now) Bastion I will force turret form, run away, then suddenly someone on my team dies to the bastion as he was already in turret form and then he rounds a corner, already prepared looking for me, but instead finds a DPS or Support on my team and obliterates them... Yea I did my job, my team still dies lmao.
This is the gold standard on UR2GM videos 🥇
Do you have any videos on how to play WITH ball? I struggle a ton as support/DPS especially if I'm not diving with him (ie ball is the outlier in the comp). I usually manage to get by because Ball is pretty rare in my games, but knowing how to better play with him would be great.
I'm at the beginning of your video saying that ppl complain that everybody shoots them, that's positioning and you are 100% right, my usual problem with ball is that while I'm trying to scout and set up my teammates already die, no matter how fast I do it. Like they need babysitting with a shield tank. It's doesn't matter usually that I'm fighting against both supports. That is my usual problem.
Yeah there's not much you can do about them dying early, all you can try to do is be quicker or force point.
4:23 I love how he just dropped next to the hanzo and just left
one aspect of ball i always loved seeing after i started getting good with him is that he exposes a lot of the braindead sombras
Watching this as I’m literally doing ball parkour so I can get better at him
Yeatle playing on controller looks like me having a great day.
let’s go yeatle! blizzards she add power stance back into the game. that was ours
Inatructions unclear, went off the map and died 10 sec in
What do you recommend for the grapple retract keybind and why? I don't like any of the other choices, especially since I bound piledrive on my mouse on mouse 5, I think, in OW1.
@yeatle is super correct about aim mechanics etc., vs game sense, timing, pacing, setups, all that. If you ever see Shroud sometimes checking out OW2, he usually gets shit on in Plat even though his aim is significantly better than everyone in the lobby.
Also one thing I really want to point out here with this video is look at how "good" your teams always play, their stats absolutely stomp the other team's stats every single time...this is because Overwatch is a team game, and when people here in chat aren't playing tank well, their team is going to do poorly too. Their weak scoreboard performance is typically a reflection of you on tank, not them on support/dps.
Your the only reason I still play this game yeets. Ball is life!
This and the recent ball changed motivate me to try to learn ball!!
Look at yeatle man, so inspirational
Second game on Rialto was crazy, I dont think I’ve seen a crazier carry
So i know I'm a little late to this video with a question, but I was wondering how people deal with ball counters like symm, mei, and the scariest one, hog hooking you into junkrat blowing you up. I'd like to play ball more often, so any tips to muscle my way through counters like these would be great.
