Lots of helpful people pointing out that I made a mistake! It seems that the stacking webs only applies to the overshield Peni gets at max life. This means you should be trying to stack your webs when you are fighting with your team/healers. It is not nearly as important when you are flanking fighting solo as Peni. Thank you to everyone who pointed that out! Sorry for any confusion!
Wait wtf 2 minutes in and im alread learning about the stackable web heals for the first time. seriously insane knowledge Edit: only shield regen is stacked, healing isnt
Just FYI the stacked web healing only works for overshield generation. If you are missing normal HP even when your health is mostly shields from your ult the stacked HP regen doesn't kick in until you are full normal HP underneath the ult given shield and are starting to generate overshield.
@@Bjorne1honestly it's better to push them out from your web mine area to let the spider mines extend past the limit of your mine generator. You cover better angles and can wrap them around walls to hold angles better, plus you can walk the heals back behind cover while you hold a corner.
One thing I wish more people made known is that webs not only conceal mines, but also make them invincible! You can have a total of 15 mines out at once. Mines stay out when you die, but mines within the web of the nest will be destroyed when the nest is destroyed (and thus also get destroyed when you die if they're in the nest's web since the nest dies when you do)
I believe its 16 mines, which means you can have 5 stacks of 3 mines (the recommended amount to deal with squishies), or 4 stacks of 4 mines in case you need the extra damage for a diving tank character
Do the mines generated from the nest itself affect this total, or are you referring to total manual mines? I'm curious about a scenario where you do not place a nest to have more manual traps
@scienz0220 Ahhh yes, I see alot of people online that call the spider drones made by the nest mines, and it gets confusing! Every now and then, the nest shoots out some spider drones that are smaller than the mines and can scurry along the webs to attack an enemy within the confines of the web. The number of drones has no bearing on the number of mines that can be out. Happy Peni-ing!
@@scienz0220 nah the mines from the nest are a different type of mine from the ones that you place with E. The nest ones are homing and they deal 50 damage, and can only travel inside of webs (cant be destroyed unless the nest itself is destroyed), meanwhile the mines you place down manually are stationary and deal 100 damage, and can exist outside of webs (although they’re destructible and visible outside of webs). I’m not sure what the limit is on how many homing mines can spawn in but it doesn’t effect your 16 manually placed mines.
Including an insane tip like the stacking web at the start of the video is big brained. A great hook that sets the tone for how informative the rest of the video will be. Good stuff man
Thanks a ton! I really appreciate the comment. I do have to mention that it seems I made a mistake, other commenters pointed out to me that it actually only works on her overshield charge. So it's still very powerful when shes frontlining for her healers but not something she should use when flanking.
Peni is one of the weird tanks where she plays like a healer almost with positioning and priority being protecting your mines. Something that wasn't really covered is that webs extend the spider mine distance and they crawl around in the webs, chasing after enemies. I like to set up a spider mine and make a trail using the grapple and snare to pull out my spider mines around corners cuz people don't see that coming. Her snare when she hits anyone trying to dive the mines will kill nearly anyone in the web with mines. People also underutilize her wall run being great for escape.
@hampoofegg people under utilize her ULT. like literally so many people pop her ult without even setting up a nest and then wonder why they can't get kills with it. The ult is meant to be used in conjunction with the nest to extend its range to INSANE distances. I can almost ALWAYS guarantee a quad kill at LEAST with a good nest placement and ult, and have gotten plenty hexa kills with it. You also regen your mines faster (not the ult mines but your actual skill mines) while in your ult, so you will always have 4 after your ult is done. So always remember to dump them before using your ult otherwise you're leaving damage on the table.
Finally broke my loss streak after falling from silver 1 to bronze 1 and now I have an amazing guide coming out for the maps? what an amazing time to play peni
A day late, but I appreciate how at 7:13 you included a clip of you making a mistake and explaining why that was a mistake. I feel like most youtubers would just include clips of them popping off for the video
Thanks for the comment! I've found rewatching some of my games and seeing where I mess up really helps me improve as a player. I think too many players jump to blaming their team when theyre own gameplay can change to better work with their team.
I really appreciate it when content creators do go over mistakes they make in a game. I find that I often learn a lot more from people explaining their mistakes than I do just watching them dominate.
I dont want to sound like a bot but goddamn this video is unbelievably informative and helpful. From the spots to the strats to the secret mecanics. Outstanding work bro You have forever changed the way i'll play peni from now on
I know how simple the edits are, but its so cool to hear that deploy sound when you show where to place the nest in the video. Its the tiny details that makes you appreciate the video more
My work takes me out of town a lot, so I tend to watch TH-cam on my firestick, which makes leaving comments a huge pain. But I specifically pulled my phone out to leave this for you. I'm a Penni main who doesn't have a lot of time to play, but I just last night made lord. I play with some pretty sweaty people, so I'm always trying to shine amongst a group of (sometimes literally) diamonds. Some of what you showed in this video I'd already figured out on my own, however even when I'd already figured out the best nest placement, almost every time you showed me a great trap spot that I hadn't tried. I usually sprint to the enemy spawn, dropping the nest in the first place you showed on the way, and drop a cheeky trap right at the entrance before running back to set up at my nest. About 60% of the time it's a free kill on an overeager dps that buys us a few seconds extra breathing room. I'd like you to know that I've enjoyed both of your videos so far and the teck stacking your webs is something I'm extremely eager to try out when I get back home and can play again. Looking forward to the next maps, Penni's Penny Paninis
Ooh wow this is great, thank you so much. Peni is my favorite Vanguard and this is such a fun map for her. I definitely need to try stacking the webs for the self heal more too. Really awesome video, great tips.
I'm a peni main who thought i knew all the tricks but i had no idea about stackable nests. Also cool that you included specific numbers like amount of time and exact amount of health gained or dealt. Keep up this type of content and you'll be a massive TH-camr with how popular rivals is rn. You earned a sub
Thank you so much. I’m a support main who’s trying to pick up a tank for comp so I can play flex. Please keep these videos coming it’s super helpful!!!
I was already using most of these spots but it's nice to see confirmation that you are doing things right and I still learned a bit about why those spots work so well. Thank you!
I really like how you use screenshots of the different sections of the map. I really learned a lot about this version of the map. Hopefully you can also make videos of nest positions on the Domination version of Yggsgard.
Great tip! Putting a mine trap on popular health packs is a great strat. Works really well on domination maps when there are one or two health packs that are always being used.
Well edited, mostly straight to the point, with actual good/usable information other than just reading our their abilities? I LOVE IT. Keep up the great vids
great video man! another spot i'd use on this map is that front pillar right in front of their spawn when playing you're defense. If u can place mines in front of the door in time, most lower ranked players will run out of spawn into your set mines which can lead to an easy early game ace. By placing extra mines on the door to your right when standing on the right side of the payload facing their spawn, you get protection from both sides and can focus on them as most players filter out through the front spawn. If it becomes too overwhelming (dead support, or team mates respawning), you can just grapple back to that first choke point you spoke about and reset your position. :)
Great tip! I really like that spot in lower ranks and on QP but once I started climbing higher I found it was usually just destroyed or avoided since they can hear you placing them, and then I didn't have as many mines for mine traps.
as a Peni mains esp on rank match, she's goddamn good tanky AF but i just realized that i can use right click web to extend the web rather than F web lmao thank you
Thanks a bunch for your comment! I definitely plan on making more videos covering different maps and Peni mechanics. Works a bit crazy for me atm but I'm doing my best to get more videos out as soon as possible!
Very good video in general, easily explained, concise, to the point and the information you present is easy to digest. Thanks for the great video, looking forward to what more you post. Subscribed!
Fantastic guide, loved your previous one as well. Super well done and lots of good technical information. The amplified healing is really good to know. Also glad to see most of the spots you picked were ones I naturally gravitated towards, though there were a few new ones too. Thanks for putting this all out there!
This video is extremely well made and got me to actually learn how to play her as a Vanguard player. You explain your thoughts and reasonings very well and the visuals help a ton. Would absolutely love to see you do more for the other maps in the game
This is such a good video and the format is both informative and entertaining. The effort put into it is appreciated. I'm looking forward to seeing more from this series, especially domination maps as those are probably my least favorite and the ones I struggle with most. As a Peni main, it kinda saddens me to see our secrets aired out, but I am more excited about new players learning how awesome she can be. 😅
Thanks for the sub! At the moment I think I will focus a bit more on Peni for a while, but in the future will likely do some breakdowns on other heros. I'm quite good at Cloak for heals and Namor/Wolverine for DPS so it would likely be one of those 3 next.
Pretty much everyone here has said what needs to be said, but I'm surprised no one mentioned the angry eyebrows at 14:51 xD absolutely great guide, looking forward to the rest of the maps!
I'm loving these. I have some criteria I follow when I'm placing my nests, I don't try to meet all of them, but it helps when I'm deciding where to place nests on unfamiliar maps. 1. The enemy has to enter my nest to shoot my nest. This is the one I prioritize most, unless 2-3 of the other criteria are filled. 2. The nest has cover on at least 2 sides. 3. The nest controls a health pack. 4. The nest controls or can be extended to control objective space. Also, if I'm on attack there are times when I'll plop the nest down directly on a healer or flanker if I'm alone with them. They run into decision paralysis sometimes (attack the peni? attack the nest? run away? heal team?) and that can let you secure the kill. I don't always recommend doing this as it means the nest is removed from its prior position helping your team and has diminishing returns at higher ranks, but it's an option if you have the space to be very aggressive (dive peni with Venom, etc)
That web stacking feels game changing to me considering i never knew that you could do that. I always kept trying (and failing) to extend the web to catch enemies with varying success The web stacking seems like way more guaranteed value especially in a hectic fight
Agreed! I find myself rarely getting much value from extending the nest with my webs. Compared to having more mine traps or a 3-4 stack that both feel more impactful.
Just because you don't get kills when extending the webs doesn't mean it isn't impactful, with both moving and placed mines it becomes a zone of death that tanks have to avoid
@@ItsGameinno yeah you’re completely right. Extending the death zone is totally valuable especially depending on the location and map you’re in. It’s just i’m not the best at aim so sometimes i either overshoot the web and not connect it to the nest at all or i undershoot and completely overlap it anyway lol
Saying this at the start of the video cause I learned it yesterday. The webs you shoot to hide the mines? You can connect them in a chain, out from the nest, and every mine the nest shoots out will follow the webs all the way out to the enemy. So I put nests waaaay back from enemy line of sight and just chain out some webs from the initial nest web.
I was looking for a video like this since launch. Thank you soooo much. Really helpful! 🙏 I'm going to re-watch it many times and take notes. Looking forward to watching the next ones!
@UnbearablyOnline You're welcome! By the way, since you're asking for it in the video, I struggle with the Hydra base. So I would love to see a video about, it if that was possible. But I'm sure any other map will be instructive as well. 😉
@@UnbearablyOnline legitimately one of the best edited intros I've seen on TH-cam. If you keep up this level of quality, you're going to do really well!
Thanks for your comment! Shes not for everyone, but I kinda like that about Rivals. Theres a bunch of characters and some just click with certain people.
Excellent content. Ill be lookin for the other maps. This video is just chock fulla info,... I didnt realize the health got that high in stacked webs, thats insane.
Awesome content - as a peni main I learned a lot and will definitely adjust my play style. Looking forward to next videos - one small tip though - upgrade your mic as it is a bit scratchy or echoey.
Thanks a ton for the comment! I really appreciate it. Work is keeping me busy atm but I'm looking into cutting back my hours so I can spend more time working on videos. Comments like this make me think thats the right move to do
Hey man. This video is fantastic! One tip I want to give that I heard, if you want to help grow your TH-cam channel, MatPat said the best thing to do is pick 1 interaction because people will more often do the one action vs multiple. So for example, instead of saying like and subscribe, you just say subscribe OR like the video. An interaction with the video is great either way. I would highly suggest watching videos with MatPat because he is super knowledgeable about the TH-cam algorithm. I think this tip came from his Anthony Padilla interview but it may have been Colin and Samir. All of this is IIRC so please double check that. You got a subscription and a like from me friend! Gonna be playing some Peni tomorrow and try to adopt the thought processes you went through to other maps! Thank you!
This is a pretty good guide, got almost all my nest spots on defense. On offense though Peni plays very different, I don't think she should be played like a normal tank pushing with the team, instead it's better to take obnoxious angles behind the enemy team where they have to waste time and resources to deal with you. This can work on defense too. This is all good though, and can definitely work up to plat or so.
Flank tank, as I like to call it 😂 it’s better on certain maps over others, but if you follow a typical flanker’s path on offense as Peni, then you can get a great LOS of all their healers playing in the back. Then you place your nest around a corner, spam mines where they might walk back towards, and they’ll blow up the second they try moving backwards.
6:25 I personally also feel that the area with the tree right on the other side of the first checkpoint makes for a pretty decent nest location, as it’s at an angle, around a corner, and partially covered. It also forces the other team to have to come out from that top balcony area
Lots of helpful people pointing out that I made a mistake! It seems that the stacking webs only applies to the overshield Peni gets at max life. This means you should be trying to stack your webs when you are fighting with your team/healers. It is not nearly as important when you are flanking fighting solo as Peni.
Thank you to everyone who pointed that out! Sorry for any confusion!

@@yoloman3607 it’s working pretty clearly in the video. He literally timed it.
did you also know you can shoot Mantis's sleep demon thing to free people from it xD i didn't. So much insane knowledge in this game.
i was told it didn't do this, my life is a lie
@@Bjorne1honestly it's better to push them out from your web mine area to let the spider mines extend past the limit of your mine generator. You cover better angles and can wrap them around walls to hold angles better, plus you can walk the heals back behind cover while you hold a corner.
As a Penni main, it’s really validating to see I’m doing some things alright intuitively. But my god, learned so much! Thanks!
True

As someone who has trouble dealing with good Peni's far too often in plat, I hate this video! Love the editing though
Lool! Thanks for your comment
"You wiill forget you saw this video"
A good counter to Peni is Iron Man with his AOE and Squirrel Girl. As SG can bounce off walls to kill the nest.
Peni is one of the weird tanks where she plays like a healer almost with positioning and priority being protecting your mines. Something that wasn't really covered is that webs extend the spider mine distance and they crawl around in the webs, chasing after enemies.

So always remember to dump them before using your ult otherwise you're leaving damage on the table.
I like the little animations of spider nests dropping from the sky with the clang sound lol very satisfying
Thanks! Finding the right sound to go with the drop/bounce took me a while but I think was worth it :P
Finally broke my loss streak after falling from silver 1 to bronze 1 and now I have an amazing guide coming out for the maps? what an amazing time to play peni

Thanks for the comment! Ya the stacking webs is a game changer. I just learned about it recently and it really helps.
totally agree, I never knew that before. Stacking web healing is so good!
Great video, very informative, and honestly cant wait till we get the run through on other maps👌
I read the title too quickly and was like 'put my what in the where now?'
Came here to say that 😂😂😂
Actual top notch video, editing, everything. Finally, good content.
Thank you a ton!! I really appreciate the comment.
As a penny player on my alt account this video helps can’t wait to see you cover the other maps you just earned another subscriber
Thanks a ton! Will definitely be covering more maps asap!
I'm a peni main who thought i knew all the tricks but i had no idea about stackable nests. Also cool that you included specific numbers like amount of time and exact amount of health gained or dealt.

Dude, insanely helpful and informative video. Loved how you show so many specific examples of what you're talking about. Thanks so much!
Thanks for the comment! I really appreciate it!
I was already using most of these spots but it's nice to see confirmation that you are doing things right and I still learned a bit about why those spots work so well. Thank you!
I find nest placement very intuitive and easy…however those mine placements are really eye opening for me! Thank you
Thanks a bunch! Glad the video was helpful
5 minutes into this and I already learned two new things with Peni. This is going to help hugely. That self heal
Great guide! Please, continue making Peni nest tips for other maps, especially convergence
I really like how you use screenshots of the different sections of the map. I really learned a lot about this version of the map. Hopefully you can also make videos of nest positions on the Domination version of Yggsgard.
Thanks for the comment! I'm glad you liked the video, I hope to be able to cover all the maps before too long!
Great vid! Some of these mine trap placements seem so obvious in hindsight but I picked up at least one new spot with every area, ty!
Oh, I was waiting for this one!
Btw, I recently heard a tip that you can kill people if you stack mines on health packs
Great tip! Putting a mine trap on popular health packs is a great strat. Works really well on domination maps when there are one or two health packs that are always being used.
i actually do that shh
Please keep making this series, this is way more helpful than I initially expected
Just started playing and Peni has been the character I fit the most with. Thank you for the extra insight.
Thanks! Im glad you liked the video. GL fellow Peni enjoyer
Love to see fellow Peni mains in the wild! Thanks for teaching me about web stacking for shield regen speed!
Thanks for commenting! Ya I learned about it recently and its a gamechanger!
Well edited, mostly straight to the point, with actual good/usable information other than just reading our their abilities? I LOVE IT. Keep up the great vids

I just was watching your Peni guide and decided to check your other videos. But I didn't expect to see a video being out 1 hour ago 🤣
Thanks for watching! I'm still pretty new to editing so the grinds been real :P

Great tip! I really like that spot in lower ranks and on QP but once I started climbing higher I found it was usually just destroyed or avoided since they can hear you placing them, and then I didn't have as many mines for mine traps.
Its useless because they gonna respawn 3sec later at the same spot there is no gain to do this, only for untertainment in qp
as a Peni mains esp on rank match, she's goddamn good tanky AF
but i just realized that i can use right click web to extend the web rather than F web lmao
thank you
please make more of these, your two videos on her helped me a lot and make me hyped to learn her ^^
Thanks a bunch for your comment! I definitely plan on making more videos covering different maps and Peni mechanics. Works a bit crazy for me atm but I'm doing my best to get more videos out as soon as possible!
Very good video in general, easily explained, concise, to the point and the information you present is easy to digest. Thanks for the great video, looking forward to what more you post. Subscribed!
Great Video ! My favorite thing to do is throw my mines at the healers it be so funny 😂 or behind them as everyone backs up without looking.
Excellent content dude, Penny is not my favorite to play with, but is SO much easy to rank up with her until Diamond, her ground control is OP!
I already figured out some of these, but the rest are really useful!
Thanks for commenting! I learned a bunch of these from struggling against fellow Peni's in queue and seeing where they placed their nests.
@UnbearablyOnline Thank you for making great content!
Great video. I leaned so much and I am very impressed with the great edits.
Thanks for your comment! I'm really glad you found the video helpful
This is the best breakdown I've seen for her
Thanks for the comment! I plan on covering more maps in the future

What an absolute raven instant subscribe
(I thought it was just my Spotify but nah his just that cool)
Wow good catch! Thanks for the sub bro!
Nice video bro! I'm main peni and this will be really usefull, keep up the good work
rly nice video, quick and informative! cant wait for other maps!
Thanks for the comment! Working on making more :)
I love your home depot style soundtrack for this, it gives the video a real diy vibe
This video is extremely well made and got me to actually learn how to play her as a Vanguard player. You explain your thoughts and reasonings very well and the visuals help a ton. Would absolutely love to see you do more for the other maps in the game

Fantastic video. Would love more techs like this for other heroes--Squirrel Girl, Namor. Subscribed!

Also, if I'm on attack there are times when I'll plop the nest down directly on a healer or flanker if I'm alone with them. They run into decision paralysis sometimes (attack the peni? attack the nest? run away? heal team?) and that can let you secure the kill. I don't always recommend doing this as it means the nest is removed from its prior position helping your team and has diminishing returns at higher ranks, but it's an option if you have the space to be very aggressive (dive peni with Venom, etc)
As a Peni main, you get a sub from me. This is absolutely fantastic! Especially when I attempt rank soon
Thanks for the sub! Really glad you liked the video! Peni mains stick together!
That web stacking feels game changing to me considering i never knew that you could do that. I always kept trying (and failing) to extend the web to catch enemies with varying success
The web stacking seems like way more guaranteed value especially in a hectic fight
Agreed! I find myself rarely getting much value from extending the nest with my webs. Compared to having more mine traps or a 3-4 stack that both feel more impactful.
Just because you don't get kills when extending the webs doesn't mean it isn't impactful, with both moving and placed mines it becomes a zone of death that tanks have to avoid
@@ItsGameinno yeah you’re completely right. Extending the death zone is totally valuable especially depending on the location and map you’re in. It’s just i’m not the best at aim so sometimes i either overshoot the web and not connect it to the nest at all or i undershoot and completely overlap it anyway lol
learnt alot from this sensei please do more of this keep up the amazing work !!!!!
I love this editing style! Peni players eating good. Can't wait for the other maps!
Thanks for saying that! I'm still new to editing to I really appreciate comments like yours!
Saying this at the start of the video cause I learned it yesterday. The webs you shoot to hide the mines? You can connect them in a chain, out from the nest, and every mine the nest shoots out will follow the webs all the way out to the enemy. So I put nests waaaay back from enemy line of sight and just chain out some webs from the initial nest web.
Very helpful, would love some more of these - especially for domination maps.
As a Peni main, thank you for this video. I want to actively improve on her so I can more reliably play her
The stackable webs was an insane tip! I’m diamond with Peni now but bro this helped a lot dog!!
I just learned about this season and it makes a huggee difference! Thanks for commenting fellow Peni main!
the Jaden Smith at the end lol had to drop a sub. great video man
Instant like from the beginning ! So many memories from Pokemon R&B !
Thanks! It was the most complex part of the video to make but as soon as I got the idea I needed to see it done!
Great video I love maining Peni!!! Nice to see I’m setting up like a grand master!!! Now just need to push through the tiers
Thanks for the comment and goodluck on the grind! Peni mains stick together!
Great quality video, and informative, can't wait for more
I LOVE POKEMON I LOVE IT! :D those sounds in the start of the video give sooo much dopamine
I was looking for a video like this since launch. Thank you soooo much. Really helpful! 🙏
I'm going to re-watch it many times and take notes.
Looking forward to watching the next ones!
Thanks for your comment :) I'm really glad the video is helpful!
@UnbearablyOnline You're welcome!
By the way, since you're asking for it in the video, I struggle with the Hydra base. So I would love to see a video about, it if that was possible.
But I'm sure any other map will be instructive as well. 😉
Nice Video! Pokémon intro was awesome :)
Thank you! Glad you liked the intro :) I worked really hard on it
I was waiting for vids like this. Thanks man
Very nice visual demonstrations!
Thank you! I'm still learning to edit so hopefully they only get better.
Very well made. Good edit and easy to digest information.
Thanks for another comment! Really appreciate you watching another vid!
This is awesome content. Vanguard is my weak spot - and now im excited to try this tech 🎉
Thanks for commenting!
Whoever made that pokemon intro deserves a raise lol
All me! Just started editing like 3 months ago now? learning from youtube videos!
But thank you so much! I really really appreciate it :)
@@UnbearablyOnline legitimately one of the best edited intros I've seen on TH-cam. If you keep up this level of quality, you're going to do really well!
Very useful. I saw a guide a while back that mentioned using the webs to extend the nest, but no mention that the healing stacked!
Not a fan of peni my self but love seeing people elevate the characters to higher performances, great video
Thanks for your comment! Shes not for everyone, but I kinda like that about Rivals. Theres a bunch of characters and some just click with certain people.
Great video man, waiting for upcoming maps as well. Keep it up
amazing video. love the info and the great editing choices
This is top notch! Can't wait for other maps. So helpful!
Thanks for your comment! Will try to work on covering more maps soon!
Nice guide. That web stack and idea behind the nest location is a very good idea to improve peni game play. Keep it up. XD
Thanks for commenting :)
Excellent content. Ill be lookin for the other maps. This video is just chock fulla info,... I didnt realize the health got that high in stacked webs, thats insane.
Thanks for the comment! Ya the stacking webs is a gamechanger
Awesome content - as a peni main I learned a lot and will definitely adjust my play style. Looking forward to next videos - one small tip though - upgrade your mic as it is a bit scratchy or echoey.
Thanks for the comment and constructive criticism! I definitely struggle with my audio mixing and have been looking into trying to improve!
I'm waiting badly for other maps bro keep the hard work great vids
Lowkey been looking for a vid like this
Been waiting for this, great content and editing! Looking forward too seeing spots on other maps too
Thanks! Really glad you liked the video :)
i like how you show your mistakes too. super helpful vid
Thanks, I really appreciate your comment! I still make a bunch of mistakes, but seeing what I could do differently really helps me improve.
bro i need a guide for the other maps, this is amazing content. Great work
I really appreciate your comment! Thanks a ton, will definitely cover more maps soon.
this was really helpfull. I understand so much more now about penny
much love
This is super useful! Will wait for other maps!
Dog keep makin videos. Super well made and appreciated!
Thanks a ton for the comment! I really appreciate it. Work is keeping me busy atm but I'm looking into cutting back my hours so I can spend more time working on videos. Comments like this make me think thats the right move to do
very well put together brother. appreciate the content. just learned alot
Thanks for your comment!
Good video. I'd be interested in Penni Lineups if you have done any. It's starting to become popular in higher ranks.
Great idea! I've done a bit of messing around with them but have been wanting to figure them out for every map. Will look into seeing what I can do!
Hey man. This video is fantastic! One tip I want to give that I heard, if you want to help grow your TH-cam channel, MatPat said the best thing to do is pick 1 interaction because people will more often do the one action vs multiple. So for example, instead of saying like and subscribe, you just say subscribe OR like the video. An interaction with the video is great either way. I would highly suggest watching videos with MatPat because he is super knowledgeable about the TH-cam algorithm. I think this tip came from his Anthony Padilla interview but it may have been Colin and Samir. All of this is IIRC so please double check that. You got a subscription and a like from me friend! Gonna be playing some Peni tomorrow and try to adopt the thought processes you went through to other maps! Thank you!
Thanks for the tip! I'm still new to this all so I really appreciate learning about the youtube algo! Thanks a bunch for the comment :)
Love these videos, Peni is such a wonky character
Thanks for the comment :) really appreciate the support!
This is a pretty good guide, got almost all my nest spots on defense. On offense though Peni plays very different, I don't think she should be played like a normal tank pushing with the team, instead it's better to take obnoxious angles behind the enemy team where they have to waste time and resources to deal with you. This can work on defense too. This is all good though, and can definitely work up to plat or so.
Flank tank, as I like to call it 😂 it’s better on certain maps over others, but if you follow a typical flanker’s path on offense as Peni, then you can get a great LOS of all their healers playing in the back. Then you place your nest around a corner, spam mines where they might walk back towards, and they’ll blow up the second they try moving backwards.
Can’t wait for others map ehehe
& good edit ! I like it
Great video looking forward to the others coz some maps it's quite difficult to know where to put your nest
Ayooo Great Video very informative!
6:25 I personally also feel that the area with the tree right on the other side of the first checkpoint makes for a pretty decent nest location, as it’s at an angle, around a corner, and partially covered. It also forces the other team to have to come out from that top balcony area
Makes a good Adam ult spot too!
