i'll watch myself do this while i'm doing it and know it's the wrong decision, but it feels better than doing "nothing" and it almost never works out in my favor lmao.
I can't say this enough, I am so incredibly grateful for having found your content. I have played shooters for several years now, and I love them. I have always struggled with them though and I've had to claw my way to being slightly above average. I come from a sports background and in every sport I've learned there has been a set of fundamentals that one can develop that are the building blocks of being a good player in a particular game. This is made the path to being good at any particular sport fairly straightforward. I've always known that my inability to excel at first person shooters had less to do with my potential and more to do with wasted effort and a lack of understanding of the fundamentals of the game. Corners/Cover vs. Open space and Resources are the little pieces of information that I have been lacking. Like, obviously I had the concept of cover, and an awareness around my cooldowns, but framing it all together into a set of things that are actually kinetic, simple, and sensible is going to elevate my game in all the shooters I play. The 'good positioning' that I have been trying to reify in-game is just a conscientious push/pull, where you push to take an enemy corner when you have a resource advantage, and fall back to a previous corner when you are down resources so that the enemy team must cross open space to reengage you. That is as simple as 'play is at first' or 'three point shots have higher expected value'. I can SEE that.
8:50 The same thing happens in every game, even in chess. If you look at a chess speedrun people say all the time "those 1200s dont play like my 1200s. They're so bad. Even I could win that game." imo its a combination of two things: when you play patiently and don't make a mistake for long enough, eventually someone will do something stupid. Either because they got impatient, or because their natural playstyle and habits will present an opportunity that they did not think was punishable. This makes them look like a feeder by comparison the second thing is is being able to notice and punish mistakes better than someone of a lower rating. in that chess example, the people in chat say they would have won that game, but the reality is they would not have identified nearly as many weaknesses, and they would have presented quite a few of them on their own. in chess they say it's all about consistency and habits. OW is the exact same imo.
This is one of my biggest issues with OW, is that these fundamental and core concepts to improving at and understanding the game are never taught to you directly. You pick up on the concepts after playing for a while, but they are never stated directly. I’ve been playing for 6 years and only recently I learned through TH-camrs such as A10 the concepts of space, corners, and resources to win games. I think if these were taught through some tutorial it would give newer players a better leg up in not feeding or trashing others. In death match games like COD it’s simply more kills= win. Not necessarily true in Overwatch
I know this video is from a year ago, but I just went through a tough time in ranked, I gave into these tiny mistakes and actively blamed matchmaking and my teammates for mistakes that I inadvertently made, I went through the entire playlist and was actively able to get into a better mindset and better play style through these many videos, corners, space and all the other things from these videos have helped me in recent casual games, inviting these informations and fundamentals such as neutral, ally and enemy space, or open space, resource usage etc. have helped me signifcantly in understanding how to play the game, even though some games do get lost I learn with each and every one of these losses and try to better myself. So really really BIG thank you for publishing these information packed and well made videos out on the internet for us plebs to see and improve our gameplay with each and every game we play.
I have to say I'm very impressed with your approach, I watched and took note from one of your other vid, and noticed an almost instant improvement, but still lapse back to old habits especially when I get flustered. I think I might look at coaching later down the line. as I'm still new to ow and FPS in general.
@@treyvonervin745 i watch most of these new A10 videos about once a month. i know everything he's said, but i don't always apply it. it never hurts to be reminded of the fundamentals.
A10 i try to spread the word about your content everywhere!!! These videos are free SR for anyone who watches them. The way you clearly and simply explain some of the most complicated topics in Overwatch is amazing!!! Truly the best. Truly deserves all the views and I hope others find you. Amazing amazing educational content. I’ve gone up 2 whole divisions since I started watching LAST MONTH! Thank you for your vids!!
Sadly as someone remarked in a game last night - “I just wanna have fun with a silly video game”. While F2P was necessary for the games survival, it’s led to a sea of “idc” types who play like zombies.
I happen to stumble upon one of your older videos talking about corners and such and I’ve been using it a lot lately and today I hit GM for the first time on support. Anyway I just want to say keep up the good work and thankyou for the educational content!
absolute banger video! youre a really good at explaining these concepts. In OW1 your content helped me to go from Silver to Diamond on Tank! im looking forward to have a coachingsession with you
Hi A10. I had my best realization tonight that game flow can pretty accurately be likened to the flow of a river. The amount of resources available can be visualized as pressure from a river; the more resources the enemy has, the greater the force of the river, and the greater danger we are in. The less resources they have, the lesser the force of the river. Having game sense is being able to constantly measure the game river.
could this be the reason why i always have the most damage, heal or kills but also nearly every game the most deaths? great video really helped me to see the game in like a 2D way and break it down a bit, Thanks
I’m gonna be brutally honest here. And I know it’s from a lack of understanding, I’m still on the path to improvement and I can only keep learning. That being said… This game is entirely dependent on the tank. If my tank sucks, there’s no space for me as DPS to really work with. I don’t want to rely on my team, but sometimes it’s outright unavoidable. I don’t know what I’m supposed to do.
It’s very hard to visualize these concepts for me, mostly because there’s a lack of examples. I have watched other videos on your channel, including earlier ones, and a lot of things seem magical. The tank is doing their job and not going for risky plays, just claiming space and letting the DPS find a spot to attack where the enemy team isn’t looking at them. When I do this, I let the tank engage, I claim space, but suddenly the team ignores the tank and comes after me, and the tank dies in the fight anyways. Or, the tank dies for rushing in and I can’t work with the space.
There’s a lot I have to learn. But the way I see it, if the tank dies from one mistake or another, the ENTIRE team cannot do much since the enemy tank can just grab space for free.
This requires a good amount of gamesense to be able to do... But sometimes you can be the one who baits enemies into making a mistake by making a calculated overextension, and then falling back to your team so the enemy chases you. I do this sometimes as Ana, enemies will chase me when I'm half hp, thinking they can confirm the elimination... But I'm actually just luring them into our backline so the team can chew them up like wolves :)
Good luck on your coaching gig bro, I recommend thumbtack (assuming ur in the US) since fiverr is too saturated. I would recommend ur coaching to players who are too busy to try and learn the game using youtube video tutorials although they are sufficient, having a coach similar to other sports is still a better and much more efficient.
Thank you. I'm an OW2 newbie. This content is gold. Subbed. Hopefully, I'll hire your coach services, but I want yo keep getting hands-on experience first. I'm from México so idk if that'll be a problem with the connections and stuff, so yeah! Anyhow! Thx for the content
hey A10 awesome video as always, love the more psychologic stuff your last vids are into btw are u thinking about doing some merchs ? i would definitely buy some
The reason why the smurf is usually on the other team is because of odds and math. If you are not a Smurf than you have 4 chances to get a Smurf while the other team has 5 chances. So in 20 games you’ve had 80 chances to get a Smurf and the enemy team has had 100. 20 more chances than you. Those odds get even worse for groups. It’s a small chance difference but those chances even out over time. If you are a Smurf however you get a smurf on your team 100% of the time and you still get 4 chances for another.
I knew I had a fundamental misunderstanding of the game given my consistent mediocre results being stuck in mid elos it was rule number 2 I either tried to force the issue to gain an advantage to take space but this is the wrong approach. I also need to look around to assess teammates and resources to know when to back up to a safe corner or full reset.
You said "so will the enemy", but it was the only sentence without subtitles so I had to rewatch it a few times. General feedback: please make the subtitles for the most important things you say
dude yes! like I was just steam rolling when stoned. like I believe its because I'm more relaxed and looking at whats happening. when I'm sober my heart rate goes up and I lose focus
My team on attack love to stand in open space at a choke point to shoot and carry on taking dmg to waste my healing resource when most of the team are respawning 🙄 I would be out of heal by the time we push ffs. And then team on defence often make pointless over extend into enemy spawn for the at extra kill end up getting them or the team killed when we have advantage of the point to begin with
Kinda glad you changed the thumbnail etc, it wasn't too catchy. I still started watching (had to stop but now continued). The thumbnail didn't feel ow related so I was even wondering if it's an ow related video at first. I think having something in your thumbnail that is catchy and still ow related.
Can’t do that with bronze players and I’m trying to carry brain dead people and getting 60+ kills per game still can get out of Bronze for some reason and it says better than 100% of players in this rank idk what I’m doing wrong
Yes, it is. If you're solely concerned with healing allies without attempting to deal damage to enemies, you're effectively trying to patch holes in a ship that's going to sink anyway. Admit that your allies are bad shots and bad hero choices (take Junk vs Pharah...bruh. Might work in skilled hands, but Bronze is not the case). By only healing them, you're only delaying their imminent demise with no possible impact from them. Instead, try to deal 60% damage and 40% heal, or even 80% damage and 20% heal, prioritising the elimination of enemy support heroes who keep you alive with the same poor DPS as yours, but who shoot and think maybe a little better. Try to master Kiriko, Zen and Bap, who can carry with their damage, and also try to actively outmanoeuvre your opponents from behind and crossfire, which will split the focus of the enemies on two fronts and can increase your chances of winning a fight or a match in particular. If you like Ana, then throw your nade at enemies for anti-healing rather than your allies and also don't use hip shoot at long range if you have bad aim. When you use a scope, the healing projectiles will automatically target an allied target within the radius of the V-shaped triangle in the centre of the scope and damage will only be done on the enemy in the centre of the normal crosshair (dot, circle, etc). And lastly. Sometimes the healbot mindset is not a bad one at these ranks. If you are playing Mercy, try to determine in the first two minutes if there is a smurf/booster or just a good player on your team that you should prioritise to heal or boost. This can be determined by his frags or increasing damage on hitscan heroes in the player table (doing damage on a tank for this rank is a positive call in a way. It means that your ally knows how to hit at least a tank and you can work with that. Some people can't even hit a tank at point-blank range), which allows them to use their ultimates much more often. If your DPS or tank is bad in terms of damage and frags, then take this situation into your own hands. Remember that your hands should first destroy the support heroes that keep your opponents alive, and then the enemy DPS and tank. There are exceptions to this sequence, and if the enemy has a sniper like Widowmaker, the primary focus should be on the sniper, otherwise you will become the priority target. Even on Bronze, Widowmaker/Ashe/Hanzo can sometimes hit you in the head and it are a good target for them. Keep that in mind
@gigachadpique daaamn. This was over a year ago but thanks! I'm gold DPS/Support nowadays but have mostly stopped playing. I did started climbing fast af when I started doing more damage than anything else. Some people got mad at me if I did not heal enough, which I get, but after finding a good balance, I climbed.
now do a video with every support in their worst possible matchup and show us how to carry despite everything going wrong. Yes, worst possible matchup because casuals cannot flex to another hero. What I need to know isn't all thsi fancy theoretical knowledge that falls apart as soon as any teamfight starts. I need to know what to do in situations where I feel helpless and useless. Example for what I am talking about: Brig/Moira player against pharmercy. Other team members are a junk, a Sym, a Zen and a hog. It's aobut as random and chaotic as every single Silver game I play. Tell me how to overcome this kind of situation without useless adivce like "Switch to Anna and go grind in an aimtrainer like goku in the room of spirit and time until you can easily 3 tap a mercy that's zipping between her teammates like an F-22 Raptor"
The idea behind the whole "stop blaming your teammates, you're the only constant in your matches", and I know you didn't say that but it applies here, is to adapt your playstyle around your team. If your team isn't playing to deal with a pharmercy themselves, or has no idea how to play around it with non-long range hitscan characters, then you have to make the swap or play around it yourself. As Brig or Moira, you wait for Pharah to run out of fuel and then do a massive amount of dmg to kill, or bait them into areas they can't easily escape or into teammates that can quickly kill them. I can play Tracer into Pharmercy and kill them both. But I know how to play around it until I see an opportunity to deal with them.

Okay so how do I influence my widow who is 1/14 to get off widow because she's making the game a 4v5? Or my Junkrat who keeps dying to Pharah and won't swap?
Ima need a grandmaster per role to solo climb a 1000 games in bronze account before any of this is confirmed. It’s pure speculation otherwise. Especially mercy mains. They aint going anywhere depending on bronze dps 😂. Just played on competitive goats mode and someone on my team snap picked widow and the other team had 3 tanks. Yeah, man…. A thrower at the start
First of all, you don’t need to be a gm to escape bronze, you just have to be silver 💀 second of all, you don’t need 1000 games in bronze because you will get out instantly 💀 third of all, there is a video of awkward winning in bronze with zero healing on mercy 💀 i believe the problem you are facing is a skill issue
@@kamiixow8345 i mean the account needs to have 1000 games in bronze compettive before the gm smurf can solo grind it to gm from the literal gutter. its impossible . ELO HELL IS REAL. starting fresh account or deranking your own shown mmr proves nothing. there is no proof that elo hell isnt real yet. youve kind of said nonsense but listen to what im saying. youve already picked your conclusion and are seeking supporting statements for it after. it should be the other way around. I am saying that if an account spends 1000 competitive games in hidden mmr bronze. its not moving to gm by any player solo. this is what elo hell is. it exists. if you can prove this wrong. im definitely listening.
@@sierraj7480 but the thing is its actually incredibly difficult to get to 1k games bronze lmao like that is just a huge skill issue. mmr doesnt matter if you just win everygame which i and many others would do in bronze

I have played shooters for several years now, and I love them. I have always struggled with them though and I've had to claw my way to being slightly above average.
I come from a sports background and in every sport I've learned there has been a set of fundamentals that one can develop that are the building blocks of being a good player in a particular game. This is made the path to being good at any particular sport fairly straightforward.
I've always known that my inability to excel at first person shooters had less to do with my potential and more to do with wasted effort and a lack of understanding of the fundamentals of the game.
Corners/Cover vs. Open space and Resources are the little pieces of information that I have been lacking.
Like, obviously I had the concept of cover, and an awareness around my cooldowns, but framing it all together into a set of things that are actually kinetic, simple, and sensible is going to elevate my game in all the shooters I play.
The 'good positioning' that I have been trying to reify in-game is just a conscientious push/pull, where you push to take an enemy corner when you have a resource advantage, and fall back to a previous corner when you are down resources so that the enemy team must cross open space to reengage you.
That is as simple as 'play is at first' or 'three point shots have higher expected value'. I can SEE that.

when you play patiently and don't make a mistake for long enough, eventually someone will do something stupid. Either because they got impatient, or because their natural playstyle and habits will present an opportunity that they did not think was punishable. This makes them look like a feeder by comparison
the second thing is is being able to notice and punish mistakes better than someone of a lower rating. in that chess example, the people in chat say they would have won that game, but the reality is they would not have identified nearly as many weaknesses, and they would have presented quite a few of them on their own.

So, as a bronze support, I should poke more and healbot less? This is essentially my takeaway from it lol.
Yes, it is. If you're solely concerned with healing allies without attempting to deal damage to enemies, you're effectively trying to patch holes in a ship that's going to sink anyway. Admit that your allies are bad shots and bad hero choices (take Junk vs Pharah...bruh. Might work in skilled hands, but Bronze is not the case). By only healing them, you're only delaying their imminent demise with no possible impact from them. Instead, try to deal 60% damage and 40% heal, or even 80% damage and 20% heal, prioritising the elimination of enemy support heroes who keep you alive with the same poor DPS as yours, but who shoot and think maybe a little better. Try to master Kiriko, Zen and Bap, who can carry with their damage, and also try to actively outmanoeuvre your opponents from behind and crossfire, which will split the focus of the enemies on two fronts and can increase your chances of winning a fight or a match in particular. If you like Ana, then throw your nade at enemies for anti-healing rather than your allies and also don't use hip shoot at long range if you have bad aim. When you use a scope, the healing projectiles will automatically target an allied target within the radius of the V-shaped triangle in the centre of the scope and damage will only be done on the enemy in the centre of the normal crosshair (dot, circle, etc).
And lastly. Sometimes the healbot mindset is not a bad one at these ranks. If you are playing Mercy, try to determine in the first two minutes if there is a smurf/booster or just a good player on your team that you should prioritise to heal or boost. This can be determined by his frags or increasing damage on hitscan heroes in the player table (doing damage on a tank for this rank is a positive call in a way. It means that your ally knows how to hit at least a tank and you can work with that. Some people can't even hit a tank at point-blank range), which allows them to use their ultimates much more often. If your DPS or tank is bad in terms of damage and frags, then take this situation into your own hands. Remember that your hands should first destroy the support heroes that keep your opponents alive, and then the enemy DPS and tank. There are exceptions to this sequence, and if the enemy has a sniper like Widowmaker, the primary focus should be on the sniper, otherwise you will become the priority target. Even on Bronze, Widowmaker/Ashe/Hanzo can sometimes hit you in the head and it are a good target for them. Keep that in mind
@gigachadpique daaamn. This was over a year ago but thanks! I'm gold DPS/Support nowadays but have mostly stopped playing. I did started climbing fast af when I started doing more damage than anything else. Some people got mad at me if I did not heal enough, which I get, but after finding a good balance, I climbed.
You bring up some good points but honestly I don't think you should hold back from going into more detail on some things.
Watch any of his Unranked to GM videos. Goes into incredible detail
now do a video with every support in their worst possible matchup and show us how to carry despite everything going wrong.
Yes, worst possible matchup because casuals cannot flex to another hero. What I need to know isn't all thsi fancy theoretical knowledge that falls apart as soon as any teamfight starts. I need to know what to do in situations where I feel helpless and useless.
Example for what I am talking about: Brig/Moira player against pharmercy.
Other team members are a junk, a Sym, a Zen and a hog. It's aobut as random and chaotic as every single Silver game I play.
Tell me how to overcome this kind of situation without useless adivce like "Switch to Anna and go grind in an aimtrainer like goku in the room of spirit and time until you can easily 3 tap a mercy that's zipping between her teammates like an F-22 Raptor"
The idea behind the whole "stop blaming your teammates, you're the only constant in your matches", and I know you didn't say that but it applies here, is to adapt your playstyle around your team. If your team isn't playing to deal with a pharmercy themselves, or has no idea how to play around it with non-long range hitscan characters, then you have to make the swap or play around it yourself. As Brig or Moira, you wait for Pharah to run out of fuel and then do a massive amount of dmg to kill, or bait them into areas they can't easily escape or into teammates that can quickly kill them. I can play Tracer into Pharmercy and kill them both. But I know how to play around it until I see an opportunity to deal with them.

Amazing amazing educational content. I’ve gone up 2 whole divisions since I started watching LAST MONTH! Thank you for your vids!!
is it possible to climb solo queing
Yes
Okay so how do I influence my widow who is 1/14 to get off widow because she's making the game a 4v5? Or my Junkrat who keeps dying to Pharah and won't swap?
Get over it and que next or get off

Ima need a grandmaster per role to solo climb a 1000 games in bronze account before any of this is confirmed. It’s pure speculation otherwise. Especially mercy mains. They aint going anywhere depending on bronze dps 😂. Just played on competitive goats mode and someone on my team snap picked widow and the other team had 3 tanks. Yeah, man…. A thrower at the start
First of all, you don’t need to be a gm to escape bronze, you just have to be silver 💀 second of all, you don’t need 1000 games in bronze because you will get out instantly 💀 third of all, there is a video of awkward winning in bronze with zero healing on mercy 💀 i believe the problem you are facing is a skill issue
@@kamiixow8345 i mean the account needs to have 1000 games in bronze compettive before the gm smurf can solo grind it to gm from the literal gutter. its impossible . ELO HELL IS REAL. starting fresh account or deranking your own shown mmr proves nothing. there is no proof that elo hell isnt real yet. youve kind of said nonsense but listen to what im saying. youve already picked your conclusion and are seeking supporting statements for it after. it should be the other way around. I am saying that if an account spends 1000 competitive games in hidden mmr bronze. its not moving to gm by any player solo. this is what elo hell is. it exists. if you can prove this wrong. im definitely listening.
@@sierraj7480 you prove that elo hell is real, not the other way around
@@sierraj7480 but the thing is its actually incredibly difficult to get to 1k games bronze lmao like that is just a huge skill issue. mmr doesnt matter if you just win everygame which i and many others would do in bronze
@@sierraj7480 Okay well I was low bronze for multiple seasons and I climbed to masters. Youre just bad
Interesting.
