    A good while ago I found the character Abathur very interesting and decided to start playing him. 8 levels later and after relying on the mini map so damn much as him when I played other characters it was second nature to use it.
    Moral of the Story? I got better by playing one of the hardest to play characters in the game.
    This beeping sounds like a much better Idea.
    Do this people.

    • @Bellpepper402
      @Bellpepper402 8 років тому +2

      Great example! I think the two things that really help differentiate bad abathurs from good ones are effective XP soaking and map awareness, and honestly knowing when/where you can soak xp safely is just another map awareness thing. With a bad abathur, it feels like you're always a player down, and when a good abathur it feels like you're never alone.

    • @cwpjacky
      @cwpjacky 8 років тому +2

    • @DraconasTenZHG
      @DraconasTenZHG 8 років тому +1

      I agree. But I think Vikings are more difficult on Quick Matches and random queues. If you don't have teammates with brain it's gonna be pain. People need to split up on all lanes, farm globes and protect vikings. Sometimes they instead all go mid for mindless teamfight, meanwhile your 2 other vikings on top and bot are dying.

  • @voshadxgathic
    @voshadxgathic 8 років тому +1

    Solid tip. I've recommended looking at the minimap frequently to players and stressed how important map awareness is to them, but an actual audio reminder takes it to a new level. Great video.

    Pally, I started using this during my matches, and, I've found it really helpful for making myself more aware of my map awareness as well as noticing a lot of my other habits in game.
    This one of the most helpful things I've found for HoTs advice. Thank you so much!

  • @rhey81
    @rhey81 8 років тому +9

    Having map awareness and being able to get your team to follow a ping to an opportune objective/boss/camp etc IS A TOTALLY DIFFERENT THING.
    Played a Braxis hold game today. Was up against a tough Cho'gall Murky combo. Our team got a rare opp though with 3 of the enemy team dead including Cho'gall. I pinged the boss, and the beacons just went live. If we get boss him the enemy team is playing defensive the rest of the way and we have a chance to win the game a long drawn out game since we can't team fight to save our lives..
    INSTEAD. Our Varian, after getting bot beacon goes to clear minions ( no camps pressure btw) leaving me (Khara,) Valla and Valeera to get boss. Our Guldan doesn't join us either, gets top beacon and then minions ( No camp pressure either). I start the boss hoping they'd figure it out and join us, but they don't and I die tanking the boss, we dont get him. I get blamed for starting boss and Varian and Gul Dan escape criticism for playing it safe. The enemy responds and after clearing our 100% zerg wave they rek us.
    FYI I had a 8-14-6 line Varian and Gul Dan were combined 2-20
    I know I look at the map all day but being able to effectively communicate to your team your intentions is another matter.

    • @elusive842
      @elusive842 8 років тому

      Exactly this. I'm trying to check my minimap as often as I can and to not only act accordingly to it myself but also to ping for my team members (e.g. to warn them about incoming threat or simply to announce where help is needed) if I notice that they might not be paying full attention. At times, it comes as being useful but in a lot of the cases it ends up being pretty much an useless effort because people simply don't care.

    • @shredium
      @shredium 8 років тому

      They could be excused in one case tho: if your team was behind in exp as far as a talent tier, then it's urgent to have all lanes soaked.
      I know this aspect could be a little too obvious, just haven't seen it in the description of your situation.

    • @Woosle
      @Woosle 8 років тому

      Even if they were before 2 levels in XP, going boss wouldn't have taken more than a single wave of minions. With 3 on the enemy team dead, it was objectively the correct decision to go boss. Boss pushes, gets structures, you get xp. Enemy team defends boss, you get beacons, get zerg wave, get xp.
      In a game like this were team-play matters more than personal skill, winning is mostly reliant on your team. Ofcourse paying attention to the minimap and not getting ganked to give the enemy team an advantage is good.

    • @shredium
      @shredium 8 років тому

      Also sometimes, if the rest of the team for some reason does not follow one's call for the objectively best play and this play's success is too much dependent on them following, one's best play might change to support whatever else they are doing instead of risking really unrecoverable throw. It's rather sad, but as they say, "if you can't stop it, go ahead and lead it".

    • @TangentChaos
      @TangentChaos 6 років тому

      @@elusive842I think its more awareness and ability to stop; tunnel visioning when you are solo laning or team fighting mid, *still*,(I'm still working on tunnel vision)and I've def noticed lack of awareness, all around. or lack of typing easy little phrases if you cant be in team voice chat...

  • @DarkCloverGames
    @DarkCloverGames 8 років тому

    I whole heartedly agree with this. For your avg player map awareness is more important than Tech imo. Once you become good at this you can pretty reliably estimate where the enemy is even if no one is showing on the map.

  • @Lieless1
    @Lieless1 8 років тому

    YES to this video. The more of these types of videos you can throw out the better. Everyone knows map awareness is helpful, but giving a tool/exercise to hone in on that skill is very helpful.
    I wouldn't mind a long, drawn out, way boring look at a slowed-down replay where you commented on your decision making :)

    @Draeckon 7 років тому

    You know, this is also a useful tool for Starcraft players. Paying attention to the mini-map is vital to knowing what's going on within your vision, and training yourself to glance at the minimap is the difference between whether or not you see an enemy drop flit across the edge of your vision before it hits your base with a doom drop and wipes out your workers/production/flat-out-kills-you.

  • @ShaheenJay

      I came from SC2... and dota... Minimaps are ingrained in my soul now. But while bettering your own play is obviously good, the game is still so team-based that personal skill doesn't matter as much as it could.

  • @dragon2man03
    @dragon2man03 8 років тому

    Grubby had an idea as well (though probably not as helpful as this) he said to imagine the mini map as your mirrors in your car, and naturally you should be learning to look every few seconds like you would in a car mirror and improve that way. Probably not as helpful as your tip but thought I would throw it out there.

      +Oppranator So click on Pally's link, right? On the options button (beside whatever avatar you have for your Google account, the three dots) there's an option that says "Save to drive."
      After that you should see it on your drive, but you still won't be able to download it, so right click on the file, create a copy, and then download.

    Here's the best part, now you can actually spam ping BEFORE you die because you're at least paying attention to who's actually coming with you instead of realizing why the hell Yrel is laning only after you lost the 3-4v5. And knowing that some maps you can afford to let enemy take obj while you have exp lead because you're also looking at the objective progress. Minimap=game awareness. Just an add up to the video tips.

    I'm sure it would help out a lot of new and even experienced players out there. Thanks in advance :)

  • @aquawaveseafaring
    @aquawaveseafaring 8 років тому

    Honestly, I've tried map awareness things like this, but it just hasn't worked. I just end up tuning it out no matter how loud it is. So, what I had to do was always have it in my head to look at the minimap, because that's the only way my map awareness was going to improve. And it did. For instance, I've been playing a good bit of League lately, and I've been using my minimap tons to see where the enemy jungler is, and the moment I see him, I just back up and recall. Now, of course, this also has to do with warding and stuff, because that provides vision, but vision is useless if you can't use it, so the same basic premise still stands.

I played quick match and its always someone who never folow the team, just do what r they please, and in the end we end up with 4vs5 team fight and has been wiped out ... and then he show up later and being killed too. If I lucky, enemy team will also have someone like that and we can win the important team fight and win the game, but end up with 50% of my game is too much seriously .

    Back in beta i used to play super shwasted, but I would play bot games as nova because the tunnel vision is all to real. BUT! during my shwasted state I would force myself to tunnel vision on the minimap. Now its like a muscle memory, almost like what they teach you in driving class, glance at this and glance at that every few seconds just to make sure.

    Just play abathur and the lost vikings to level 10 and i guarantee you'll be looking at the minimap more than the actual screen when you're done!

    All I do is look at the minimap. What I never see happening, is my shitty team mates, move up to me and protecting me, because I am no women and obv. can't multitask and move and/or defend my position while scouting the minimap.... if only they were any good...
