hell yeah i commented that you should do replay reviews and you did. love to see someone actually taking recommendations! love the content keep it up
I feel like feedernoob wants to play Abrams, all that close quarters and melee
didn't even know how to charge melee lmao
feedernoob needs to lower their sensitivity and use more of their arm's range of motion while aiming. You can see they have high sensitivity and are micro moving the mouse. This is likely from their inexperience with shooters. (UNLESS this is an artifact of the match replay)
He has 3.5k hours on shooters

What Do You Think Went Wrong: Not much moba experience outside of this game so I feel like my understanding of macro can be better (which lanes to push/defend, when/where to farm)
Deadlock Experience (hrs): 100hrs
MOBA Experience (hrs + games):
Content is great, tips to make it better though:
Instead of saying I don't know how good that is, i would recommend trying to say what you would be trying to do in the scenario.
Like when he's missing the carbine shots, with the pressure getting on the bridge for height advantage making them easier to hit ETC.
More advice on what you think would be better instead of live comentary on his actions. I can see his actions with my eyes :D
Just a why what the person is doing could be better, and how you would change what he's doing to make it better.
As i said though, love the content, keep it going ^.^
Schizug! Love your content and this type of video. Keep awesome awesome work!

What Do You Think Went Wrong: I dont rly know, our team tried to coordiante but kept feeding to the Abrams and I wasnt able to carry or be there when it mattered I think. The Mid game was a big back and forth and at the end they won a big teamfight that snowballed into our defeat
MOBA Experience (hrs + games): 0 / 140hrs deadlock
Shooter Experience (hr + games): 2k+ / Counter Strike, OW
(optional) Pronouns: she/her
(optional) Other Notes: I want to understand how to play around my theammates mistakes better and get a better understanding of when Im too aggressive in teamfight, laning and chasing
Match ID: 16901458
Hero: Bebop
What Do You Think Went Wrong: Figuring out when to buy during lane (when its okay to let a wave go), Figuring out when and where and what the best things are to farm, Keeping the other team at a soul disadvantage, when to engage and how to better play around my teammates
MOBA Experience (hrs + games): 0 / 100hrs deadlock
Shooter Experience (hr + games): 10k+ / Counter Strike, COD, Squad, Splitgate
(optional) Pronouns: he/him
(optional) Other Notes: I was in private comms with Kelvin during the match who i was laning with, how should I consider working with a direct teammate as well as the greater team?
The general advice about knowing when to buy during lane is usually when your wave is under the enemy guardian. That way you can go back to your shop, buy items and by the time you return to lane, the trooper wave should be no further than mid-way between the two guardians. You don't want to leave the lane when the enemy wave is about to crash into your guardian. That's like a goalkeeper leaving their goal open for the enemy kick.
2:46 Right about here, Paradox should've went back to base, buy items and heal up and by the time she returns, she should be able to catch the wave before it hits her guardian
i'm seeing a lot of people going hard on melees but htey don't have the knowledge or moba timing to know if they are over extended to be meleeing, i'm punishing TONS of people because of it like this guy at the start, this game is ironic, you need moba knowledge to melee, adn shooter knowledge to hit orbs/deny. it's such a great deep game.

What Do You Think Went Wrong: Figuring out when to farm and when to join teamfights. I often get stuck between trying to help teammates or farming when im behind in souls.
MOBA experience: 60hrs deadlock
Shooter experience: 1.5k csgo
Other notes: How do you think our team turned the match around? Did they throw or did someone on our team make a play? We came back from a 20k soul deficit.

Hero: Vindicta
What Do You Think Went Wrong: I think my early game/ laning phase was a bit iffy and couldn't really do as much as I was hoping for, I started doing better after 10-12 minutes of the game but things slowed down towards the end, i was struggling to survive and really couldn't help a lot in team fights.
MOBA Experience (hrs + games): LOL - Close to maybe 1k hrs
Shooter Experience (hrs + games): CSGO/CS2 - Over 2k+ hrs, I've also played a variety of other shooters and have done aim training in the past.
(optional) Other Notes: I bought Ethereal shift pretty late into the game and i don't fully understand how to utilize it well.
(optional) Pronouns: He/Him
0:18 there’s the problem he’s playing a character heavily reliant on shooting.

Hero: Vincidicta
MOBA exp: Very little
Shooter exp: quite a lot
RTS exp: Infinite
What I am interested in is:
A: How to carry harder?
B: I am worth twice as much as my teammates, but the whole team is still even with the opponent. How can I help my teammates suck less?
C: Are there any macro decisions/strategies that I am unaware of but should be aware of (to carry pubs harder)?
There are many small things, like not doing the stair slide shooting thing perfectly, these things will come with time.
But is there a mistake or bad mechanic that is so crucial it effects macro in a meaningful way? Something you would say, you can never carry a game if you don't improve on this?
(Something like "oh if you could do the stair sliding thing you could dominate your lane 5x and then go win 2 other lanes too" which snowballs.)
Spoiler: Should have backed off, of that Midboss in game 2, but hey, it was still kinda even, even after that.
Oh and preferable would be a kind of instructions list on what needs to be done,
with as much detail as possible and
explanations why that is the right thing to do and any alternatives you can think of are not it.
3:00 How can you just chill there with 40% of your HP and 0 items in your inventory. Truly mind blowing.
I would love to see one on McGinnis! She’s my favorite and I want to get better at her and understand her better
Great video! Two things that stuck out to me outside of what was touched on in the video was that 1) feedernoob was very restrictive in his zip boost usage, it didnt get mentioned but felt notable to me, he didnt lose much cs for it so maybe it was correct usage?
2) it felt like he didnt want to hit any of the boxes/urns for most of the game, that felt like wasted potential upgrades. Is it cause of the editting or is it not note worthy? Is it a trap to try get all boxes you can when close to one and not actively trading/cs'ing?
Hope to see more of these well done!
Edit: also to feeder, maybe consider abrams or something that is more in tine with the heavy melee bit if you enjoy that playstyle
its pretty fun watching feedernoob do solid snake shenanigans ngl.
This dude crouched more this game than i have total in 100 hours 😂
Yeah, the only time you should be crouching is to slide (with the possible exceptions of occasionally using it to line up a shot or hide from a chase, but both situations are EXTREMELY rare)
For new players: crouching does NOT improve accuracy, and sneaking around quietly is NOT a thing outside of Veilwalker/Smoke Bomb/Shadow Weave (which are worse with crouching)
If you are using the Crouch button for anything other than sliding you are probably using it wrong
Good series idea. Keep them coming!
Enjoy this content, would like to hear your take on a match...

What Do You Think Went Wrong: We actually won, however, I do not play mobas but take to competitive games rather quickly, the haze of our match who has played a handful of MOBA said we were losing so long because of how I was playing, I on the other hand felt I was carrying a lot of water for the team and was keeping us in it. Because I don't play MOBAS though I would like to hear your perspective and thought maybe it could be a good example of how decent individual play might not be the best for the team, that is if your analysis is that Haze's point was valid.

"What this paradox noob is doing wrong in Deadlock"
*Clicks in expecting to see my own name over Paradoxs head*
I hope you continue this series. I really want you to cover various game states throughout several matches.
Just an average player stomping the enemy(because the enemy sucks). High level play fun. Low level play fun. Etc. Or maybe even matches, where the player starts off VERY strong, but then falls off later for whatever reason. Which is something i've been struggling with as everyone, except Shiv.

would you accept a vod that i farmed kills and performed well but still lost, im stuck in elo hell, mvp every single game but have an atrocious %38wr on yamato (main)
most coaches didnt accept :(
One of my pet peeves in VOD reviews for any game is when you say an action or strategy is bad and then not show examples of what's good or a better alternative... For example you say the Paradox's positioning is bad.. okay well show us what good positioning looks like? It's hard to replicate for some things because enemy players can react in many different ways but still it'd be really nice to know and see examples of what good gameplay would look like. Even if it's just you using the camera to look around and be like "Look how much better this position would be" I think it'd be 100 times more helpful than just pointing out "this is bad"
Something I like to do on paradox is to open with the grenade, each pulse is a stacking damage amp which turns the heat up on the carbine-wall-swap combo, leaving enemies much weaker and easier to finish off
This is the type of content I was looking for. I feel like watching pros play doesn't really transfer well into becoming better, because your gameplay is going to look vastly different from theirs.

What do u think went wrong: I feel like my timing to joining team fights vs push lanes are not good also, I don't think I had an answer for the Haze/ Seven in late game. I had some idea in terms of items but, may be wrong on that. Aim not good either lol.
Moba Exp: Awesomenauts? (I miss this game) 1k hours
Shooter Exp: Apex Console 500 hours
Other Note: I don't really play mnk much so my aim isn't the best.
Another point is analyzing your duo partner. It was very apparent early on that feedernoob was playing with a super passive Pocket who wasn't really matching their energy, and also was down in souls. That should have been a sign of not to be so aggro and focus on the farm.
Great series idea can't wait to see more.
This is very cool! I love this vod review sort of stuff - I feel like it is a great way to take theoretical knowledge and apply it in a practical way.
Awesome video as always! Leaving a comment for the algo, haha! Keep the videos coming, they are pretty knowledgeable!
Can relate to forgetting to use actives in fight. Got better at it by playing support (with Seven no less!), where I bought 4 actives and constantly reminded myself of the keybinds!
Was looking for this kind of reviews. Great format, please keep it up!
I don't have too much time to play Deadlock so I just feel like I suffer on just basic gamesense sometimes. Idk if I should feel this way but it's like I'm almost missing out.
1:50 "feedernoob might have some aim issues" then proceeds to omega wiff 2 bursts. This is fucking comedy
Great video! At what point do you recommend a player struggling to improve their fundamentals (in this case, dueling) to try out a more straight forward character?
I'm a beginner myself and I thought feedernoob did too few camps, any thoughts on that? I tend to look for potential farm on the map when I shove out a wave, so usually taking a rotation through boxes / camps rather than waiting for the next wave
i was going to leave a comment yesterday suggesting this type of video ! it's rlly useful seeing things explained outside of just high elo replays where everyone's playing very differently to the average player 🤓

I love this kind of content. Especially from you I feel like I learn a lot and you still make it fun, poking fun at times but always keeping it about improve habits and gameplay! Great stuff overall! Also would you consider a discord channel to submit match replays? Or should they all go here?
These player vod reviews are super useful. Thanks!
I thought it was going to be me after reading the title
buying an active and forgetting to use it is so real

Hero: Lady Geist
What Do You Think Went Wrong: Took a lot of trooper dmg and unnecessary deaths in lane. Came back with good mid game farm (up 20k souls) but lost some key late game fights that ended up losing us the game (I made a few big mistakes)
Deadlock Experience (hrs): 166hrs
MOBA Experience (hrs + games): 0hrs pre deadlock
Shooter Experience (hr + games): 1500hrs rainbow 6, few hundred on overwatch and valorant
(optional) Pronouns: he/him/his
(optional) Other Notes: I am in a 5 stack in this game with everyone except the abrams, so we have a lot of coordination (in theory) and I would be happy to hear any critiques on our team play as well
P.S. Thank you for your positive outlook! I hadn't played any mobas before deadlock because I was kind of scared away by the negative atmosphere associated with them, but you have been building a positive community and I appreciate that :)
also I probably over do heavy melees as well. I vod reviewed my match after seeing this video and learned a lot
This was fantastic, I learned a lot from this!
subbed, 10k imminent pog
Stamina usage was a bit off too imho
Feedernoob has a lot of potential
I'm subbed bro. No worries.
This player's refusal to buy in lane once they get enough souls to pick up a T1 or even T2 item is boggling my mind. They give you lane shops for a reason! Their farm is practically immaculate, spend that money and get a power spike!
Sometimes it's alright not to back and buy if you are *really* owning the lane. feedernoob was not in that scenario in this lane however
This is a good format
More of these please!
METAAL SKIIIN!!!
Metal Skin + Return Fire is such a good combo.
That actually makes return fire deal no damage
@@PixyEm No, Return Fire still procs when Metal Skin is active.
Edit: I tested and uploaded a video of the result.
I think you should put more emphasis on the macro rather than micro. Feedernoob could have midmaxxed his abilities better at several teamfights, sure, but those teamfights were very unfavorable to him. Commenting on the teamfight at 22:16 is largely irrelevant I think but it should never have had happened in that way. Either he takes walker and runs away or he defends the urn and expects a teamfight. The option he chose was just very wrong and shows that he needs to be more aware of the minimap. Your current style of commentary puts equal emphasis on both the micro and macro when I think focusing on just macro would've been much better for this player.
Except Deadlock has more micro going on than all of the popular MOBAs combined, and Paradox is maybe the most aim dependent hero right now. So I’d say the micro is warranted.
I agree and want to dive deeper into macro going forward. Building experience with each vid and I'll find a new way to to record so I focus on it. Thank you for the feedback :)

Pronouns: He/Him
this is so painful to watch
I'll start playing without items just to spite all deadlock players
The #1 thing ... is never stop moving/strafing... when I saw them standing still during the beginning... I knew I shouldn't watch the rest... I'd hoped it was a more intelligent Paradox player ... not "This is my 5th game and I don't play FPS/MOBA's"
*MOBAs. Never use an apostrophe to pluralize. Also, that's not what the ellipses are for, I suggest reading a book.
Great video. I think there's a little psychology going on here. If the player is a moba fan but not big into shooters, they should focus on what they know from mobas.
For me, I'm more into shooters and less into mobas, which made my first couple games look like this. Eventually i realized that items cause huge discrepancies in power in many ways, and getting behind often means you should try to STOP taking fights, in favor of farming. This is much different from most shooters, and i would find myself trying to sneak around and get picks that just weren't going to happen
Since then, I've remembered many of the things i learned in league of legends way back when, and it's starting to come together pretty nicely.
Essentially, this is a moba first and shooter second, at least for the majority of available characters. As a shooter main, you'll often need to play more passively than you're used to, and as a moba main, you'll need to play more aggressively, in general.
The way i see it now, after 50 or so hours, it's kind of like 2/3 moba playstyle, 1/3 hero shooter playstyle. I wish i understood things well enough to specifically address the different skills from each that one should practice, but I'm still pretty new myself
Nice video. I'm the opposite, came from background of shooters and competed in 25+ MLG tourneys as off and on halo pro back in the day and haven't played Mobas so it's all fairly new to me and learning game is hard to not wanna rush everything.
Also he should try and use strafing more. His aim is decent but awkward where he's constantly holding forward to shoot enemies and even creeps instead of using the strafe to aim for him.
no one can fxck with this guy
he was playing paradox
What does paradox wall block? I feel often it doesnt block what i expect it to block
It doesn't block anything, it pauses enemy projectiles as they go through for a second
@@PixyEmAh okay! Thanks :)
I gotta ask, I'm not sure how Paradox's ult works in a team fight? Swapping pulls them into your team, but Bebop can do the same without also throwing himself into the enemy.
It shines with how much damage it does, how much damage can be done to the enemy during the swap, and with your maxed wall...it silences them so it's almost a guaranteed kill. You can also use it to displace/outplay/escape stronger enemies.
@@BusterBosque Ah, it does damage and silence, missed that part
Great video! But did you have to call him a “feeder Noob”the whole time? He’s just trying to learn 💀
well i mean... thats his ign.
