      You can see how Theomatic forces him to die all the time though. The "4 step Kiri" thing doesn't work when you're forced to TP exactly where they want you to be. Awkward would take an angle somewhere pre-fight, not get a kill because it's GM1 and people are playing well...then get jumped on by Winston who loses basically no resources 1v1 against a Kiri. Then he has to teleport away AND often use suzu immediately because he's behind on healing from being on a flank, so he just simply falls over dead to the next set of Juno + Winston cooldowns.
      I think if he would have stacked with Reaper more then this would have worked out because then Winston couldn't just keep jumping on him for free.

    i’m a gold console player, and i’ve been playing since ana came out (she’s why i got into overwatch in the first place) i’ve picked the game up and put it down multiple times, but i’ve always had a bad problem tunnel visioning. since i found your videos, i can already tell a huge difference in how i play certain heroes, my positioning, and focusing more on staying alive than trying to confirm a kill (unless the situation calls for it). i’ve always had above average mechanical skill, but lacked awareness of teammates, angles, and enemy rotations. i still have a lot of improving to go, but genuinely thank you. your videos are what finally made the game “make sense” and improve on not tunnel-visioning. to anybody who says your method doesn’t work, it’s just plain wrong.
    also, erwin’s speech goes hard. i listen to it when i need an extra oomph when im lifting

      @@RuDev23 I went from DPS Bronze 1-2 to Gold 5, and Support Silver 3-4 to Gold 3. I never played Tank until after taking a Winston class and placed Gold 5-all this in about one month or less. I could climb more, but I just haven't played as much lately. My aim is also really bad, but I'm working on it slowly.

      awkward's unranked to GMs and subsequently RUA helped me go from bronze to D1 pretty quickly. these guys already figured how to play the game at a high level and they're quite literally showing us how to get there, so that's where i see the value.
      try it and see for yourself. It's an investment into a hobby. personally I'd invest $50 to get better at something I enjoy in my free time than buy the latest skin bundle lol. Just depends on what you want out of it

    Play deadlock. I would like to see how you play other types of games and maybe branch out content, definitely is a different style game but takes concepts from so many games I think you will still excel in it. Sounds like maximum glaze fs but I think it would be a good game to play beside OW, and help bring more players and viewers. Could be a game that sticks around and hopefully not a game that comes and goes. I think it would be funny to see your personality on the game aswell, Either way all glaze aside still like the context keep thriving

      Doesn't Zbra have one? doom is literally just 1. Jump to a position you can punch someone 2. Block damage 3. Punch weakest character u can find 4.jump out....when you have ultimate do step 1-3 over and over until you are almost dead then use ultimate. If they have ana roadhog, switch lol. Before you use punch, make sure that your jump will be in cycle when the punch is done

    Great gameplay as always. Also i personally agree with pretty much every thing you talk about outside of the game. From honor, working out, family, the way you talk to people...its quite admirable. Keep spreading your message, we need more MEN like that in the world, or else God knows what kind of world our children will have to live in.

    Wow, so your tips actually worked! I did exactly what you did; I tried mimicking your style and movement, copied your approach, spoke to my teammates, friends and family the way you talk and even slouched down in my chair as if I was 5'4. I won 80% of my games, but I got banned from voice chat, my friends now ignore me (they think I'm autistic/socially awkward), my family bought me self-help books and now stare at me (like BertStare.jpg), and I'm pretty sure my girlfriend thinks I'm a creep. 10/10 for getting better @ OW, but at what cost????
