The "be polite to your supports" advice is legitimately insanely good advice. Saying hi to your support in the beginning, maybe do a wacky emote and voice line, then say thank you whenever you get healed or rezzed. I guarantee that support will now try their damned hardest to keep you alive.
As a Mercy main it's just nice to see someone having fun too and being nice. Yknow its like a relationship, if the tank/DPS is gunna get mad and blame everything on you even if you're trying your damned best then the support will, of course, also be pissed off and feel down too... But if instead we work together, have fun and are being kind it's a much nicer atmosphere so supports can feel more up for doing a slightly more risky move to revive/heal you instead of pulling back and pulling out the Mercy Glock...
Regardless of ping, you can tell that he has accuracy issues. That's why he tends to move in closer in order to hit something, instead of shooting from an effective range. Of course it's fun in bronze because they technically don't see elim numbers. Either stay in the fun & friendly place or start to climb only to meet stronger players & he has to start his training montage.
I mean, I used to be a mercy main and I’ll often flex to her but in silver/gold, it’s impossible to primary your DPS players. Idk if I just play with main healers who don’t wanna keep my tanks up or if my tanks just want to constantly take 200 dmg per second, but whenever I’m mercy I’ll start the game focusing on my DPS, and after 1 lost fight, I realized that my other support just can’t keep the tanks alive so I need to swap to them. I suppose I could switch to Ana, Bap, Moira for bigger aoe heals, but whenever I pick mercy, it’s cause I want to do something a little easier and chill. There is nothing more zen than pocketing a good Pharah… basically I’m just bouncing around in the sky not even really paying attn. great times. :)
11:18 Holy shit. His time in game browser has taught him the ins and outs of the comm wheel to the point where he is faster to decide what voiceline to use than decide what to shoot at. Mad props
if you're on console then you just have to hold your right stick in the direction your preferred voice line/command is and then just press your VL wheel button so basically all voicelines are on a keybind
I can't believe my partner made it on the big screen, came over to watch it with me, fully expecting to be roasted, about cried at how nice everyone's being. Y'all have made his day!
As a boomer ow player this warmed my heart it good to see players having fun and not tryharding tell your partner that a stranger on the internet appreciated his wholesomeness
A couple hours ago, I played a comp game and the dva was super nice. They were on mic encouraging us, saying good job Everytime an enemy died, apologizing, pointing out important things, and pointing out smart decisions we made. He didn't criticize once even though we lost. He actually said "they needed a bastion to beat us" at the end. The bastion seemed to be the main reason we were dying.
You know it's so hard to be that person, I'm a tank main and this is me in 90% of my games win or lose. The problem is when you get some asshole who starts to bring the team down by being obnoxious, actively throwing or sabotaging the game. That's when my level 4 endorsement deserves to drop to level 1 🤣
i was about to say it sounds like me until you said giving advice cause god knows idk how to play but yeah genuinely people need to be nicer playing games you might be having a horrible game but you're all in this together innit?
@@MrNovember41 the toxic one is me.

@@xEvilRaptorx Yes we genuinely love to see it, really helps not only us but the whole team! it shows us you're aware that we are vulnerable coming out of spawn ^w^
if it's safe to do so, i often make myself more visible if a Mercy is running back from respawning so they can fly back quicker. Like "hey i came to pick you up!". i find you get a Mercy stuck to you like glue if you do that XD
I think in low elo games players genuinely have fun and just play characters they enjoy. Compared to plat or low diamond games where people call each other trash.

Also Flats was the reason I got back into overwatch so most definitely a great TH-camr and Overwatch player

As a Mercy player who plays primarily for fun (I only ever played comp to see what my rank would be, and like 3 matches after with some teammates who were nice when someone was toxic to me, otherwise I'm an arcade/custom map queen), I can confirm: if you are nice to the Mercy and can at least hit some shots, even if your accuracy isn't great, you have become her favorite. She will absolutely run with your crazy flank, she will use her health regen passive to body block for you when Ana sleeps you, she will get some very silly rez off for you, and if she can't get the rez she will pull out the peashooter to avenge you. Even if you are a DPS (or even a tank) that I don't get a lot of value from damaging boosting, if you're nice to me and the Echo/Pharah/Ashe isn't, you're my bestie for the match. I'll go feral to make it the best possible game for you, cause you've earned it as far as I'm concerned.
I always say thanks for heals or help/sorry if I fail to protect someone. Watching Flats get so excited about it makes me feel a little bit better about myself lmao. Finally at least silver on every role. Hit 1506 on DPS last night.
Game needs more wholesomeness. I like playing qp but it's so full of sweat and toxicity. And then you point out it's just qp and they're like "You're just bad".

"Wave to the mercy at the beginning to get a pocket" He's not wrong though lol (also, I'm a lot like this person he's spectating, but I'm only consistently level 4 endorsement)
@@blodhgarm7854 I do a lot of thanking my supports and saying sorry for doing dumb shit. I main support so I understand how hard it is to have teammates spam they need healing and never thank you for it. I also just say "glhf!" At the start of games cause I think OW is at a point that everyone should just relax and the game will feel better
As a former support main-turned-flex main, can confirm that a little "Hello!," a little "Thank You," a funny emote... It'll definitely bump you up in the heal priority list. Taking a moment to appreciate them in team chat is a second helping. 7:23 says it all. You're playing to have _fun,_ which I'm told was once the reason we play videogames. A moment of silence for all the Mercys that have gone over the edge with no ally to fly to. gg to this player!
Dude's one of the only bronzes where I'm certain he could be at a higher rank with a few minor tweaks, though honestly, the higher you go in rank, the more competitive and aggressive people get. It'd be a shame to see someone so wholesome crushed in that environment
I always use the "Thank You" emote whenever a mercy pockets me. Small appreciation for their assistance goes a long way cause it's a thankless job most of the time. And you usually get yelled at even if it's not your fault.
Played with Nyanzo in QP yesterday! I remember him because he was the nicest dps I've played with in god knows how long. He was saying thank you and sorry a lot, plus how bad his ping was. Actually made QP fun for me ♥️
What the?! First some other commentor claiming to be his partner and then another (you) saying that you're his roommate, you never see that happening in TH-cam comments, I like believing that this is real though.
@@rottamehu I want you to know that even though I can't give shotcaller anymore I still endorse whoever gives me a ride like this because its so thoughtful and kind! Thank you, on behalf of all mercys everywhee

He plays a lot of arcade. That’s the best way to get lvl 5 endorse. 4v4 is my favorite game mode and I live at lvl 5 on 3 accounts. This isn’t shade, more a tip if you want to bump your endorsements.
Emongg deserves a level 5 endorsement. I don't how he does it. I keep calm most of the time but can't help talking back when a player is being outrageously toxic towards someone😶
I only started playing like half a year ago, but I watched Overwatch videos since the first beta. This game had really strong old Overwatch feelings and I love it!
Love to see a fellow gentleman thanking people in game, I probably hit the thank you on the wheel way more than is necessary, it’s just muscle memory at this point to thank people for honestly just doing their job, because sometimes in low elo someone doing their job is going above and beyond the norm
I think this person is the epitome of “playing” overwatch meanwhile Flats “Works” overwatch there’s a distinction You can have fun at work but it’s rare and few and far between. But if you play for fun you aren’t having a sense of urgency and sweating every little decision. You’re just there to have fun
Flats needs to realize that bronze players get mad about anything under the sun. Sometimes bronze players just get mad for no reason. One minute everything is cool then the next minute your MT and the enemy mercy start an argument over wether the newspaper is a dead business. Then the entire game just falls apart it’s madness.
tbh I almost only play in training mode now because everyone is so nice there, lots of communication and teamwork. Competitive offers more challenge but I hated how the toxicity rubbed off on me.. if you want a chill night of OW I highly recommend checking out the folks in training! (easy, medium or hard, any mode has great players)
I would do that, but the ai even on hard mode are too easy and stupid. There’s no point in communicating tactics with your team when the enemy team is just one big blob moving as one.
This could actually be the friendliest person to ever touch Overwatch, I'm not exaggerating. I wish they go on to live a happy life, they deserve it :-)
@@HamStrokers-Ejacula Ikr, I can barely keep a level 4 endorsement for more than a week and this person is just chilling and having fun with their level 5 endorsement lmao
I always thought it was normal to be this polite when it came to overwatch Matches until I started watching more overwatch content, I always thank for heals, say sorry whenever I die, all that stuff.
They should watch Arrge’s Hanzo aim videos. They look like they are really close to hitting most shots, its a timing and priority issue. Arrge’s tips would probably help out a lot. I like that they are always trying to do their job and protect their team. They always try to take out the main threat.
Top 500 players: plebians Lvl 5 endorsement players: literal gods Also real talk, one way I normally approach the concept of improving the pace of decision-making for pretty much all rank coachings, is to break it down to its causes. What actually makes you think faster?: By knowing what value is present around you. The best way to understand what value is present for you to pursue at any given moment, is pure and simple mechanical consistency. The more consistent you are in your mechanics and your ability use, the more consistently you will be able to determine if a value proposition is doable or not (like chasing down that enemy dps on the flank or go deep in the enemy backline on an isolated support). So for this, I always recommend one thing above all else: Limit testing. Put yourself in the craziest situations with clear goals you want to achieve, figure out how much it takes for you to achieve the goals you have in mind and DO NOT deviate from those plans even if it gets you killed. Then you just go again, and again, and again. Eventually you will be able to consistently evaluate in a short span of time, what possibilities are available to you and act on it with less hesitation. And this basic concept goes for all ranks, the difference is merely how far your limit testing will have to be pushed, as it scales exponentially the higher rank you are.
My level 5 endorsement triggers all my friends who are 4 ranks higher than me. "Endorse your healers" at the end of every match almost always gets me 2 votes. When I'm healer I just say "my tank DPS carried me "
@@Leila-wv3fv I can for a while, but I always lose it because a friend sends an invite and then I leave the game I'm on. Sometimes I forget to endorse others which also decreases it. I think the best way to get endorsements is to play support because people appreciate that role more. Makes it all the more impressive that they did it with Hanzo.
I mostly play soldier atm (3586 peak) and whenever I see 1 of my supports pick mercy I run up to them and do the “I’m not your father” voice line and it gets me a pocket all game everytime. Highly recommend!
It's weird. I've had endorsement 4, with a few detours into 3 for the couple of years I've played overwatch. I was proud to have the highest endorsement level you could have. Then someone told me you could get to 5... Overwatch 1 is ending now, and I've still never reached nor ever even seen anyone with an endorsement 5.
For some reason I cracked up around 4:00 when you were talking about how he's a people pleaser not trying to win "ego duels" haha Edit: Laughed even harder at 11:40
I don't think I've ever seen a 5 endorsement rank. I would rather have this guy on my team than the guy from yesterday's game. I had a Brig player yelling at us in the mic like a mad man telling us what to do. Then started going off on chat haha I don't think Brig is suppose to 1v6 the enemy team. They just kept getting killed and blaming us lol I know I could have mute him but it was funny listening.
He didn't even use the leaver to justify the loss in his comment, blamed his choice of sniper on high ping. What a Chad gentleman.

Your endorsenent level has dropped from 4 to 3
"Oh no!... Anyways...."
You've been promoted to level 4!
@@ArcNine9Angel literally every other week
How do you guys get this high endorsement? I'm consistently 3 and sometimes 2 lol
@@blodhgarm7854 I do a lot of thanking my supports and saying sorry for doing dumb shit. I main support so I understand how hard it is to have teammates spam they need healing and never thank you for it. I also just say "glhf!" At the start of games cause I think OW is at a point that everyone should just relax and the game will feel better
@@blodhgarm7854 Playing support usually helps and also, avoid leaving games.
As a former support main-turned-flex main, can confirm that a little "Hello!," a little "Thank You," a funny emote... It'll definitely bump you up in the heal priority list. Taking a moment to appreciate them in team chat is a second helping.
7:23 says it all. You're playing to have _fun,_ which I'm told was once the reason we play videogames.
A moment of silence for all the Mercys that have gone over the edge with no ally to fly to. gg to this player!
Dude's one of the only bronzes where I'm certain he could be at a higher rank with a few minor tweaks, though honestly, the higher you go in rank, the more competitive and aggressive people get. It'd be a shame to see someone so wholesome crushed in that environment
I always use the "Thank You" emote whenever a mercy pockets me. Small appreciation for their assistance goes a long way cause it's a thankless job most of the time. And you usually get yelled at even if it's not your fault.
Played with Nyanzo in QP yesterday! I remember him because he was the nicest dps I've played with in god knows how long. He was saying thank you and sorry a lot, plus how bad his ping was. Actually made QP fun for me ♥️
I tend to do that. I have fun as Hanzo :3
@@hanzocassidy2256 you need to stream on twitch bro. Good vibes! You are a genuinely fun player to spectate with how positive you are!
lmao, I'm this persons room-mate, they are a pretty nice dude all around not gonna lie. They literally don't get mad, it's uncanny.
You have a wounderful roommate then! ^-^
Hope no devil try to piss him off by pushing his limit just because "I want to see this guy who never seems to get angry at anything to get mad"
What the?! First some other commentor claiming to be his partner and then another (you) saying that you're his roommate, you never see that happening in TH-cam comments, I like believing that this is real though.
@@joel3683 it was while it lasted but 9 months changes a lot, doesnt it
As a mercy main I give the shotcaller endorsement to anyone who gives me a ride from spawn 😂
Moira/Lucio main here. It is the very least we can do for our Mercys.
@@mattwheeler5933 I love you for it!! 🥰🥰🥰
whenever i play a fast character like soldier or dva i make sure to stay within the mercy's line of sight when leaving spawn so she can fly to me
@@rottamehu I want you to know that even though I can't give shotcaller anymore I still endorse whoever gives me a ride like this because its so thoughtful and kind! Thank you, on behalf of all mercys everywhee
@@MarMai5 I used to play a lot of mercy and I remember all the times I couldn't save someone in time because of those couple seconds I had to walk because no one stayed to give me a ride, so now I always take that little bit of time to make the healer's job just a little less stressful
This guy seems like the type to apologize for the mess to a burglar
Ignorance is bliss..
The type of player to get entirely destroyed and hold his team back.. get steam rolled then say "GG" because he's completely unaware of getting entirely destroyed.
@@FenexDragonis he's in bronze. everybody's holding everybody back. don't be negative.
@@FenexDragonis Except he had enough awareness to realize his Mercy fell and died, then stop to apologize. Not to mention the number of times he realized that Cass was flanking and was, at minimum, a nuisance deterrent. Sssoooooo...
LMAO
@@FenexDragonis No, you do that because you Reached a Point where you know that Gaming wont bring you further in Life, you Play Games for Pure Fun at that Point.
Go out and touch some Grasy Gras my Friend Have Fun Gaming 😁
I thought earning Flat's clap is the epitome of gaining his respect but this one is on a different level.
Aside from that first engagement, this Nyanzo person has better game sense than most bronze players I see. He's also doing decent as a tank buster as well. Ha ha! This is super wholesome and I dig. 🥰
I just need to stop holding my storm arrows when it’s not necessary lol
@@hanzocassidy2256 It just dawned on me... is this you playing? :O
@@DarukaEon yes. That is me
@@hanzocassidy2256 Ahh nice! That's great! I wanna say that I picked up Hanzo cuz of you! Keep up the positive attitude and keep learning! You're doing great things! 💚
@@hanzocassidy2256ah a fellow storm arrow Steve*, i respect those plays
*I don't play Hanzo except when the game forces me to in mystery heroes, but it's a fun button to press :D
He plays a lot of arcade. That’s the best way to get lvl 5 endorse. 4v4 is my favorite game mode and I live at lvl 5 on 3 accounts. This isn’t shade, more a tip if you want to bump your endorsements.
I would play a whole afternoon with this gentlement. Having fun and being polite in OW should always be praised
It makes me incredibly happy that people are at this level in the game and still choose to play this game and they have fun.
I know right :)
That hanzo makes my heart happy even with his silly mistakes 🥺
He is not afraid of tank players. He is balls deep with the enemy hog.
i spectate the most wholesome person every time i watch these two streamers named emongg and flats
Emongg deserves a level 5 endorsement. I don't how he does it. I keep calm most of the time but can't help talking back when a player is being outrageously toxic towards someone😶
@@lemonzest_ thats what im saying. he just always stays so positive and calm. i give him mad props tbh
Never thought the nicest overwatch player would be a bronze hanzo player
Guess I've wrong about Hanzo players all this time
I only started playing like half a year ago, but I watched Overwatch videos since the first beta. This game had really strong old Overwatch feelings and I love it!
So glad to see that there are well-mannered people in a game like this! Massive props to omegachad Nyanzo!
Love to see a fellow gentleman thanking people in game, I probably hit the thank you on the wheel way more than is necessary, it’s just muscle memory at this point to thank people for honestly just doing their job, because sometimes in low elo someone doing their job is going above and beyond the norm
I think this person is the epitome of “playing” overwatch meanwhile Flats “Works” overwatch there’s a distinction
You can have fun at work but it’s rare and few and far between. But if you play for fun you aren’t having a sense of urgency and sweating every little decision. You’re just there to have fun
LV5 endorsement? As bronze DPS?
Are we sure Flats hasn't stumbled onto a Mr. Rogers reincarnation?
Flats needs to realize that bronze players get mad about anything under the sun. Sometimes bronze players just get mad for no reason. One minute everything is cool then the next minute your MT and the enemy mercy start an argument over wether the newspaper is a dead business. Then the entire game just falls apart it’s madness.
tbh I almost only play in training mode now because everyone is so nice there, lots of communication and teamwork. Competitive offers more challenge but I hated how the toxicity rubbed off on me.. if you want a chill night of OW I highly recommend checking out the folks in training! (easy, medium or hard, any mode has great players)
I would do that, but the ai even on hard mode are too easy and stupid. There’s no point in communicating tactics with your team when the enemy team is just one big blob moving as one.
Im so much happier now that I've watched this. So wholesome.
Happiness is easy to see and contagious.
This guy is just a good egg.
Can confirm. If i'm playing Mercy and one of my DPS is being cool to me in spawn before the game, i'm pocketing them.
They are so nice and kind it starts feeling sus, like how is it even possible
This could actually be the friendliest person to ever touch Overwatch, I'm not exaggerating. I wish they go on to live a happy life, they deserve it :-)
Oh my god, that's my buddy Demon. Proud of them.
as a mercy player: do any emote at us. any of them. or voiceline. or spam hi and crouch. we'll do our damnest to keep you alive
Higher the SR, the less human you become-From a bronze player who climbed to plat
"This is probably what it's like to have fun."
Bruh, that's like the saddest sounding thing ever 🤣
Overwatch needs more players like this
I used to think all I wanted was to be a gm, now all I want is to be as nice as this guy. gm might be good at the game, but this guy is a good person.
You can make it the GM and have the vibe I gave. I believe in you :3
I mostly play quickplay, this is exactly how I interact with people lol
0:17 THERE'S A LEVEL 5 ENDORSEMENT??? I genuinely didn't know that, I've _never_ seen it before
Imagine the absolute saint you have to be to earn that.
@@HamStrokers-Ejacula Ikr, I can barely keep a level 4 endorsement for more than a week and this person is just chilling and having fun with their level 5 endorsement lmao
That sorry honestly made me smile, nobody is ever that polite in this game.
3 months later, as mercy main, can confirm, if you wave you get pocket
I wanna play with this dude hes super chill seeming like damn, props dude
He so stunned by the Hanzo saying "sorry" and "thank you" when it's fckn muscle memory to say these to everyone for me LMAO
Mans watched some C tier gameplay but instead focused on the S tier hospitality. That Hanzo was a legend.
I wish we could hear the comms. Just felt like both teams were just chilling and vibing
I always thought it was normal to be this polite when it came to overwatch Matches until I started watching more overwatch content, I always thank for heals, say sorry whenever I die, all that stuff.
They should watch Arrge’s Hanzo aim videos. They look like they are really close to hitting most shots, its a timing and priority issue. Arrge’s tips would probably help out a lot.
I like that they are always trying to do their job and protect their team. They always try to take out the main threat.
"I feel like a lot of dps players are really afraid to shoot tanks"
*Blizzard will remember that.*
As a mercy main I can confirm waving at us in the beginning of the match gets us emotionally attached
Internet girlfriend? Lmao
"They were nice to me at spawn I will protect them with my life and the lives of my team."
@@Nokotronwell no, especially because many mercy players aren't girls lmao
I think I played with this dude, and he was in comms and awesome. Lost due to bronze (tanks on a side quest - I was a support). He earned his level 5.
Behaves like a TF2 player with those interactions! So darn nice.
The ‘don’t be afraid, challenge him oh no don’t challenge him’ got me😂😂
Those hours show a player who plays for fun
More like this please, wholesome Flats, loving life and loving the game😊
Top 500 players: plebians
Lvl 5 endorsement players: literal gods
Also real talk, one way I normally approach the concept of improving the pace of decision-making for pretty much all rank coachings, is to break it down to its causes. What actually makes you think faster?: By knowing what value is present around you.
The best way to understand what value is present for you to pursue at any given moment, is pure and simple mechanical consistency. The more consistent you are in your mechanics and your ability use, the more consistently you will be able to determine if a value proposition is doable or not (like chasing down that enemy dps on the flank or go deep in the enemy backline on an isolated support).
So for this, I always recommend one thing above all else: Limit testing. Put yourself in the craziest situations with clear goals you want to achieve, figure out how much it takes for you to achieve the goals you have in mind and DO NOT deviate from those plans even if it gets you killed. Then you just go again, and again, and again. Eventually you will be able to consistently evaluate in a short span of time, what possibilities are available to you and act on it with less hesitation. And this basic concept goes for all ranks, the difference is merely how far your limit testing will have to be pushed, as it scales exponentially the higher rank you are.
I didnt realize i was watching an older video and it took me a few minutes to process the two tanks/6 team members 💀
A bronze submission that melts flats heart so nice. Good luck Hanzo on getting out of Bronze.
My level 5 endorsement triggers all my friends who are 4 ranks higher than me. "Endorse your healers" at the end of every match almost always gets me 2 votes. When I'm healer I just say "my tank DPS carried me "
Level 5 endorsement. The real highest achievement in Overwatch
I can’t even stay with lvl 4 more than 2 games
@@Leila-wv3fv I can for a while, but I always lose it because a friend sends an invite and then I leave the game I'm on. Sometimes I forget to endorse others which also decreases it.
I think the best way to get endorsements is to play support because people appreciate that role more. Makes it all the more impressive that they did it with Hanzo.
Ngl every lvl 5 endorsement player I've met since 2016 deserved it, great peoples
Im proud if the hanzo for not chasing casadi because he was out of the fight effectively an entire fight.
Bro we need more people like this hanzo.
"Challange him. Oh no! Don't challenge HIM!" I died.
so did Hanzo
I miss the longer spectating bronze videos but this is still good
I really appreciate these video where you find good or wholesome players in low ranks and highlight them, more than just screaming at bad players
I mostly play soldier atm (3586 peak) and whenever I see 1 of my supports pick mercy I run up to them and do the “I’m not your father” voice line and it gets me a pocket all game everytime. Highly recommend!
Can confirm, am Mercy main
“Questionable judgement” *pockets*
Genuinely the most sane overwatch player
Of ALL the GM games i watched, all the diamond/master matches i played, this makes me the happiest. ☺️
10:51 dude, the Mercy's sigh as she slowly flouts towards death.
Nice to see overwatch can be wholesome once in a while 😃
It's weird. I've had endorsement 4, with a few detours into 3 for the couple of years I've played overwatch.
I was proud to have the highest endorsement level you could have.
Then someone told me you could get to 5...
Overwatch 1 is ending now, and I've still never reached nor ever even seen anyone with an endorsement 5.
i love this guy , i wanna play with him , we might lose but it'll be fun lmao
I've been watching through a bunch of your videos today. All great content, but this one right here made my day
This player gives me strong Brendan Fraser vibes.
For some reason I cracked up around 4:00 when you were talking about how he's a people pleaser not trying to win "ego duels" haha
Edit: Laughed even harder at 11:40
I don't think I've ever seen a 5 endorsement rank. I would rather have this guy on my team than the guy from yesterday's game. I had a Brig player yelling at us in the mic like a mad man telling us what to do. Then started going off on chat haha I don't think Brig is suppose to 1v6 the enemy team. They just kept getting killed and blaming us lol
I know I could have mute him but it was funny listening.
I've been a hardcore Mercy main for the past few months and I 100% pocket the hell out of people who do the "thanks" emote whenever I heal/rez them.
Awww, I can't help but love this. xD he's just living his life having a good time...gets my Endorsement!
I'd choose being nice and having fun over being good any day
