#overwatch2 #overwatch #Flats
I started playing OW1 year 1 and then took a really long break until pretty recently. Junkrat was and continues to be one of my least favorite heroes to go against
Fr tho
As a junk rat and torb main, I'm sorry
@@VictorKaneMorgan as a Sombra main, I def hate you a lot.
@@S0LIDSNEKlmao sombra needs to get deleted from the game. Looking forward to her rework
@@S0LIDSNEKwas someone who plays junk a lot, I love bullying sombra’s
Most Junks just spam, but then when you come across one that knows what they're doing they are insane. I'm in diamond/plat and once had a junk launch himself into the sky and one shot combo me as Pharah with a perfect left click / mine combo. That guy dominated the whole lobby and I'm not even mad just impressed tbh lol
Ah, yes-- the duality of the Rat. The brain-dead 15-IQ spammer, or the 900-IQ Pipe Jesus. No in-between.
That's what I wanna do. I hate spam rat but LOVE junkrat
1:00 "I'm gonna go for something sick"
that's how all of my sick doom plays end too.
Lol, but to Flats credit his bhopping on doom is smooth.
Flats if you see this this is a tip for doomfist, at 2:29 once you use slam, press the button again while in air to go higher, it’s fun to use
cancelling it with block and punch gives you more height but you really shouldnt focus on these movement techs if you want to be a better doomfist player
dude trust me, he alr knows.
@manga5152 was going to say, pretty sure he was one of the first to post a video about it, lol.
@@縣the punch jump (to keep momentum) and slam cancel is all you really need. His mobility is what makes him good, after all.
I only say slam cancel because it allows you to get to some high grounds you couldn't earlier.
4:40 the average tank experience in a nutshell
300HP to instantly dead
Yep, and if they have a zen and bap/illari on their team it is trying to survive D-Day the entire match with 4 dps blasting you to pieces
I mean he stood infront of a bap window.
I love to watch Flats because OW2 is way to overwhelming for me and I hate sucking at games as hard as I do at OW2
What server do you play on? I can give you some tips
too*
Gods i fucking feel this
6:15 Pharah has to be the character with the least number of finished ult voice lines, right?
Statistically, I mean.
I think I can count the number of times I've heard her ult voice line to the end on one hand.
Unless her voice line really is "Justice rains AAAAH!"😁
Preach bro, love the content and also I switched from tank to DPS cuz it’s an actual dumpster fire, also I play junky now cuz he’s fun flanking
i enjoy dps more because i actually feel like im impactful, instead of just being a giant hitbox that dies within seconds if i attempt to do anything
I got a 3kill pog with out moving my mouse on Junkrat yesterday
I get on flex queue for challenges and get thrown on tank on repeat
My go-to tank is Ramattra, then Orisa, and I just explode always and can't do anything meaningful half the time 😭
I don’t know what happened. Saw you playing doom first and immediately thought, “oh he’s playing dps.” Been seeing a lot of that 6v6 talk going around, brought me back to OW 1.
I feel like for a while theyve been making balance changes and unless it has been a tank character being changed they have forgotten about tank. How quickly you can blow up now on almost any tank is nuts
Also the consistent nerfing of tankiness while increasing damage and survivability in terms of utility/healing is a weird choice to me. Oh yeah then they super buff bastion who sees the word tank and laughs in minigun
First Remix uploads video of junkrat and then flatz playing junkrat 😎
As a low tank player Andy in gold tank was fun till this season where I play horse do really good but don’t feel good because it’s just easy. Hoping for good tank changes
I’ve been having sm fun on junkrat lately flats I hope you don’t get too upset
15:01 that tracking tho
I usually am able to get support when queuing for All Roles but the other day I only got Tank and it was awful. I agree, no one wants to play tank anymore, including me.
Love ya doomfist playstyle, it's cute rein is style play
Pro tip: Your punch refreshes if you get charged up, ie, you can punch, block, punch in rapid succession if they shoot you
he knows, if you'll look at his gameplay you can tell
Thx, didn't know that. OW has so many unintuitive mechanics.
You're welcome Zero! Happy to help :)
i’ve played since the open beta for overwatch 1 and junkrat has been my most beloved hero since then :)
DPS taking over the mantle of being the most casual role, used to main support for that reason since OW1
i was doing some flex queues recently played about 20 games, i got support once and dps once, every other game was tank.
For console, tank usually has the longest que time
Do you think a second tank would fix it? Ngl i do miss 6... but i know they got rid of it for a reason. Right? I just dont know what to do to alleviate the tank problem.
the tank problem is made worse because they didn't rework tanks for the 5v5 format. And in my opinion it won't be fixed until they do the power creep in the other roles is only making the tank swapping game even worse leaving on a few even viable.
a second tank would fix the rock paper scissors of tank, and would probably make the role more fun to play. but it makes things much more complicated for new players and is harder to balance (with blizzard's balancing strategies). i guess blizzard decided it wasn't worth going back to yet. really tough to fix with 5v5
Second tank will nullify a lot of the dps healer bs. There’s a reason kiriko can go on a flank to get picks or a Moira can be in the backline chilling.
Because nothing forces them to stay in position.
@@starhaven1881 its kinda like we still aren't playing 5v5, we're playing 5v5 with 6v6 characters. like... none of the reworks were reworks, they were exaggerations
I hear tank was still the least popular role even in 6v6. So having another tank slot would just increase queue times.
with video titles like this I really wish next time you'll order a pizza they'l bring you a cabbage
That certainly was a junkrat of all time
12:30 I thought that was gonna hit too! :’(
They fear the flankrat
flats heres a real tip for doomfist, USE HIS BLOCK. EMPOWERED PUNCH IS HIS ONLY GOOD ABILITY, YOU USED IT LIKE 3 TIMES AND GOT IT CHARGED ONCE, I WONT LET ANYONE BE THIS BAD AT DOOMFIST
I have a question are support wait times that long on pc bc on console the wait times for either tank or dps tend to be higher even if by only a minute or two
they can be very long. it does depend on rank but ive seen a gm support player wait times being 11 minutes.
I wonder why it's like that specially since support queue has always been the shortest role queue on console since s1 of ow2
@@cremenbutter3831 new op support character everyone wanna play. that's it. pair that with how miserable tank is to play and thats what happens
Anyone else notice the empty killfeed portrait at 11:58?
Support Q's are still the fastest by far, tank is quite often similar but not the same.. The most played is dps by far, 10min q's in diamond
Men only want one thing and its to be the size of doorways
But will he play exoprimal though
As a support main since 2019. Recently…. It’s been a struggle 😂
?????????
@@daXstoRM5 queue times
dude shoots into deflect while i always kill them when they deflect cus concussion time or jukes
Ngl I personally love tank, I hope I can get to GM rank an be the poor sucker that still loves this garbage that ppl need.
That said I get why ppl don’t like it. It’s stressful, basically counter or get fucked, an I wish I liked tank back when it was 6v6 but I was into smite an shit an just didn’t play overwatch. But yea, even with all the bull I still love tank most now
one of those rank card things of rank (still don't understand it) and I'm plat 5, went 7 loses. There are barely any tank players. First card of the season btw.
whats lamp for ow 1?
I'm so glad I got all the trophies for this game and got out. I enjoy watching people play but man the game as a whole is a drag.
Playing tank gave me trust issues
How is this video called how to play junkrat properly but its a video about some guy talking about nothing and playing Doomfist instead?? Wtf?!?!
Still a better doomfist than Chipsa
I’ve been playing ow2 for a year now and flats your opinions are but I also think people just don’t understand how to tank properly getting to a higher level like I was diamond going in this season it a off role for me and I found myself in gold confused outta my mind how bad I was even though I used counter play and gave comms I think it just a role that isn’t always the must understanding I still new tho and don’t know all the comps like there brawl, rush, poke and dive and how to play against them effectively while being cc’d I respect your skilll as a tank
Just queued tank, got counterpicked and focused for 2 hours while my team ate rocks ig idk fuck this game
Even i have nearly instant Tank queue´s and i am Gold 2 - Plat 1 Tank
people talk about how bad junk players are, but this is coming from someone who clearly doesnt play junk. like the junk on the other team might have been a junk main, and he only spammed corners when there was noone to fight. the real junk mains are actually very high skill. im a junk player and strive to not ever corner spam
i am a junkrat OTP and i can tell you for a fact this is not what i do at all
if u want fun, play Illari
As a console player that plays junk without aim assist this how you play junk
Just so you know your one of the best streamers I watch. I love watching your content everyday. I’ve learned so much about the game because of you, much love. ❤️
I am a tank player💀💀
Beep beep. Boom boom.
theres no way this is gm
Damn I am still sad people be saying stuff about heroes that can be regarded as spam heroes. I mean yes they can spam but they can do so much more but people still treat them like a low skill floor hero that is like a small cheat or something.
love flats but “this is how to play junk” then shows doomfist
you very clearly see the junkrat
you didn't finish watching the video and it shows 😂
6v6 bois rise up! Also, based BEEP BEEP BOOM BOOM
12:25 that hitreg is trash.
Obligatory, BEEP BEEP BOOM BOOM
The games not fun anymore I went 10-0 in comp Friday and leveled up with good honest fights then had a massive win streak in qp Friday night prob 70% win rate then all weekend nothing but loss after loss after loss in QP I didn’t dare play much comp with this bs happening and ALL of them were steam rolls with experienced players WHY this should not happen! I’m low diamond high plat not low low elo
Hey Flats maybe consider changing positions as widow a bit more often. Genuine food for thought no Bm
Average junk mains spam. Me sneak up on supports and 1 shot them tire supports and spawn camp them 😂
Tanking is azzzzzzzz. Flats is the GOAT. The man says the truth and I respect that.
Ggs
All factual statements, rank is so ass🗿
lmao true if you hit that mercy i'd have clapped then and there, nice try mr flats
I don’t mean to be an ass but flats you are about as good if not better then me as widow pls don’t pick her .
Nerf mercy
Video titles lol.
say what you will about tank but as an echo player who reasently started playing tank i think dva has to be the most fun ive had in ow in a while, its just playing mindgames against kids who get kissed on the mouth by their dads with their pink haired muscle mommy
Bro?
Will flats make an onlyfans
Junkrat players eat glue and it shows no skill, alongside Symmetra. Not changing my mind.
Okay 🤡🤡🤡
try airshotting consistently with arching projectiles and then we'll talk
@@Thispersonisrealah yes because having to play flying characters just to counter your annoying spam is so cool and fair 🙄
Reasons why i hate arcade. Mfs like this are always in arcade i can be paired with fuckin gold and silvers snd somehow im playing agaisnt diamond and plats on the regualer on the entire enemy team, how i know? They arent trying to solo the whole team feeding and hardly die and teabag after every kill,private profiles and playing cheap fucked characters that are meta, isnt arcade suppose to be fun? It isnt only places i can have a little bit of fun is when i turn off the game after i see i got potg then I play my actual favorite game paladins.
You: so why don't you stay in paladins if you love it so much lol!
Becuase my friends and brother wanna play it becuase they wanna get good on it but sadly that's very rare and only one friend plays at any given point that's what, at most I play overwatch 2 times a week then I'm just off because it's annoying and will give me a heart attack. Then shitters like you from overwatch bassicly hate on me for not getting good or playing meta heros, video games are suppose to be fun and by human nature it's not fun to loose so there go I go against smurfs, I've watched just about every tip imaginable from every overwatch "pro" and still loose becuase apparently the team mates im matched with still try to solo the enemy diamond players and wonder why I get pissed by spamming group up.
It's not fun to lose? So you should only be winning then? That's reasonable right? You're either 13 or extremely low iq. This is a competitive game, grow up and git gud.
you're looking in the wrong place if you want balanced matchmaking. both qp and comp have mmr, but arcade is a ffa. you don't have to win to have fun, that's just a bad mindset. plus paladins ranked system is the worst i've ever seen.
@@mentarium and this ranked system is any better? If it really is an FFA then why TF should anyone play? Paladins is fun wether you win or loose you didn't feel like you were completely helpless if someone is just pounding your ass in with their main, hey if you counter swap guess what there's another character already countering you, overwatch by far is the most rage inducing shit I've ever played and it's fine if YOU Believe that paladins is worse, but when it comes to having a good time and getting compensation for your hard work paladins does that better in leagues ahead of overwatch, in overwatch 2 it's like your loosing no matter you win or loose in competitive and non competitive I'm playing with people my rank but I'm still getting bitched at for the smallest mistakes I try to avoid making like blowing up as a tank but thats becuase the enemy team play highly mobile characters and if your playing zar,hog,sigma guess what your kinda fucked aren't you? In overwatch it's always rock papper scissors and I don't get on a fps game that was given GAME OF THE YEAR AWARD back in its infancy stages of its life and now I can finally play the game as a adult after 7 years of not being able to buy it and wow, the game really did let me down. Face it you don't understand fun, I think you don't even understand why I said what I said I just think your a shilling for overwatch, a sell out, a damn milker. If you have bought a single thing from overwatch 2 then that already tells me everything I needed to know.
@@pedronycum6765my dude wrote an entire thesis for a non-issue 🤡
