Y'all, this is honestly some fantastic advice. I'm about 60% of my way through high gold and have gotten to play with and against multiple plat gamers, and yet I still see people chasing the ball, refusing to spread, being impatient with cooldowns, or not properly passing. I can't tell you how many games i've won just because of the enemy team forgetting how to properly position themselves, which is something that is possible even with almost 0 communication. Thank you very much for enlightening the masses of high silver hell, and I can't wait to both make some crazy team plays with randos and get my ass thoroughly beaten by them XD Edit: I’m in high plat/low diamond now and good god people won’t stop chasing the ball, especially those without burst movement options (X, Juli, Era, Drek to an extent, etc). Sometimes you just gotta trust your teammates and don’t let that soloq trauma get to you lol
One huge thing goes mainly for low elo. Remember that you can go elusive. I keep seeing people dying to and banning Vyce when you can sacrifice a third of your energy to go literally invincible for a duration. You don’t HAVE TO save for energy burst, losing your life is way more dangerous than losing your meter.
All the power to ya, controllers are absolutely fine because you can move and aim in different directions so you won't be scoring any own goals anytime soon :) edit: also thanks for the support :D
@@cynicalradicand never experinced it outside of cheap dropshiped ones so :shrugs: Tho pro controler kickback fucking sucks, and this game doesn't allow as much mistakes as unite does
Thank you for that last section. Nearly quit the game a couple days ago primarily because of a string of toxic teammates. You can have competitive fire without being a jerk and deeming other players. Everyone learns and grows and a different pace.
Just started playing with some friends. Greqt video, im definitely going to share with them. Your breakdowns were excellent to help with entry level tactics and positioning.
Really nice video and great editing! The usage of emotes was quite hilarious at times. I do want to say though, that some of the moments made it a bit hard to hear you/focus on your voice due to other sounds (most notably, when you were talking about not chasing the ball, where Juno said "Thanks, Friend!" and Drekar replied... Something. I couldn't make it out, and kinda missed what you were saying, too) On the tips! Very nice and informative, and even if I knew most of it, it's a nice reminder, thanks!
Beautiful vid, really has everything that I would want a player to know when starting the game, in under 10 minutes too. Even talks about kissin your homies, unironically super important, ppl have no idea how much your win% goes up when your teammates want your juli heart emotes and not just their W.
finally someone said it, the intro alone already got my approval, absolutely 0 sugarcoating, loved it that said, the video itself was legitimately educational you pointed out all the mistakes I've seen often and gave out short + simple solution(s), 10/10 definitely a must watch for anyone who wants to learn
Thanks for the support! Yeah, it really makes me sad when there are team games like this and people only blame their team mates instead of looking at how they can improve themselves.
currently fighting my way out of high silver hell. I play Drek'ar goalie and I've been getting a lot better at clearing, but I keep seeing my number of saves decreasing rather than increasing! I never stopped and thought that it might be a good thing! I'm getting better at always passing most importantly where the enemies AREN'T, and when I can, to my teammates. But with my most recent games having saves as low as 50, and shots on enemy goal as high as 40, I've been worrying that I might be playing too aggressively. Turns out I'm just improving my positioning and clearing to have those opportunities! in other news, HOOOOLY moly this is some legendary editing and great audience retention, not at all what you would expect from only 800 subs! keep this up, i laughed out loud several times
Best coaching for any videogame ever. Easy to say that this has been one of if not the only time I've been so happy with a guide video. The best part, is, obviously, the insults you get with every tip. Keep up the good work!
4:40 this line alone singlehandedly describes every solo queue i've been in, no matter how much i open myself to a pass, there's always this ONE Numbnuts who refuses to pass, and when they did. they immediately blink over to me and ruin the shot.
Yup, unfortunately sometimes it just be like that... You kinda just have to hold still and spam the pass callout and hope they figure it out. But hey, that's why I made this video and hope to get it out to all those new players out there because they probably don't even realise they are doing it wrong (it is a complicated game Afterall)
So I started playing pretty much a few days ago, spamming Coop VS AI for 3 days to adapt to the game because I did not want to engage in PvP and accidentally score into my own goal. Afterwards, I started doing normals and I thought I wouldn't go into ranked until I reach a specific point to make sure to have enough practice. And then, I watched your video. And now I'm back spamming Coop VS AI to adapt to the WASD controls (well... ZQSD on my end) for god-knows how long. So thank you for your advices! ~
Awesome video. Really useful. I started playing pretty recently and keeping this information at the forefront of my brain has drastically improved my play especially the positioning part. Thanks and keep up the great content.
I've been looking for a good youtuber that can hand out tips while also being fun to watch. You had me captivated with the intro alone and the use of the emoji's I cant wait to see more!
Thank you so much for this! I just got the game with a friend and we played for 2 hours constantly losing, not knowing why the other team was just destroying us in every aspect. After learning not to chase, to spread out and pass more, the game became so much easier and fun. If you play more 'relaxed', everything starts to make sense. We played for another 2 hours and won almost every game we played. Also, in our first game we versed the 10th best player in our region which sucked hahaha. Casual needs to have some sort of balancing.
I love the omega strikers emotes so much honestly I think it’s my favorite of any game I don’t usually care for the emotes but with this i really want them
That’s what I’m saying bruh I follow every single tip in this video EXCEPT when I’m playing Octavia. Speed demon is so fun, I love running around the enemy team knowing fully well they’re pissed that they can’t pass to each other anymore (until someone takes stacks on stacks and quick strike that’s my cue to rage for 29 minutes straight)
If there is enough interest for it, I may do specific character guides in the future. Of course in the same meme and edit style. If you want to see that lemme know who you'd like to see first. 👇 (Though my expertise lies mainly in Kai, Era, Juliette, Drek' ar, and I'm trying to get better at Rasmus) (Also throw me a sub if you wanna see them as they come out :)) UPDATE: I have decided to do so. There is a poll in my community tab if you guys want to vote on who I will be doing the guide on first.
Thanks for the tips, this video actually helped me learn quite a bit, I really wanted to get better for my team. I'm new to the game and don't want to let my team down because of a bad decision I made
I'm so grateful that I'm able to help you improve :). Don't feel too much pressure from your team to improve though, everyone learns at their own pace and you do it for yourself.
@@cynicalradicand Thank you, I'll try to remember that. I really enjoy playing competitive games for fun, but there are times where I worry I am not doing well for my team 😂
just got into the game and these are all things i've just been learning while playing, i try to think about them and it has already gotten me to mid silver and still climbing thanks for reassuring me that i am actually picking up on the right things
@@cynicalradicand sadly it’s to late i have two friends that only pass to me but i’m learning to pass to win these ranked matches thank you for the video it did help
I was about to write a comment that i'm the true egoist striker and will never pass, but you've read my mind and demolished me with my own weapon - blue lock reference
Slight note on 7:03, for lots of fighters the area of influence behind them is useless unless you have a good position since it'd hit the ball towards your own goal. Also, Juno just takes influence zones and says "I am God" if you let her please don't
Just adding on top of this. Strikers that have movement abilities which I factor into the zone can effectively influence the core within the range. You'll notice that I made the zone for Kai pretty large because of his speed. Also if you can hit the core toward the corner instead of the goal that would also be fine. If your goalie is competent as well, a soft hit backwards can be a valid play also.
Jesus christ, when did you hit the second phase of puberty and get that chad alpha male voice ma dude, Jokes were insane, haven't laughed like that in a while. Great fucking editing btw super smooth. finally a good guide to get my friends into the game.
If someone is spinning round smoothly it doesnt mean they're not playing wasd. The games cross platform so it can mean they aren't playing from pc. Mobile and controller controls have the free movement and ability to aim in this game. Personally though I've got it on pc I actually prefer the touch screen controls.
Lmao THANK YOU. My own teammates are confused as to WHY I pass to them and they are so dumbfounded they miss hitting the core! The tip of following the core towards the goal was great I'll add that to my playbook 😊.
@@cynicalradicand Inbetween kisses we whimper "it's just a phase", highly recommended! Even Jake who used to reply with "cope harder ****" has started to join in with us!
In all seriousness this video has actually helped my friend and I improve in the game a lot. I was really anxious whenever I would play goalie, but thanks to the tips in this video I feel a lot more confident as goalie, so thank you very much 🙏
The last tip: "the cringe" - is noy just a TIP bit a RULE. Guys. Remember. We are a small fanbase - how on Earth are we going to increase it if we'll shame new, unexperienced players? Let em try, let em fight, let em have fun and learn. I remember that match few days ago: it was fine, we all played normally, till one opponent disconnected, giving us easy 3>2 win. After score we returned to our positions and with a though "Let's waste em" i was ready to get into the fight-... But something happened. One of my teammates walked into the corner and made that "Juiliet heart" emoji. He became the viewer - he gave us 2 = 2. It was... truly beautiful. At the end we all had fun, changing who is viewer after every goal. I am pretty sure that as well as I - our oponets left the field happy. That's what you call - OmegaStrikers. That's why we hold togethet and stay here - to have *FUN*.
Yeah it's an unspoken rule that if someone disconnects everyone either all waits until they comeback or we make it a 2v2. Love that about the community.
Let me add one that a lot of people seem to forget. If you are not goalie, MOVE OUT OF THE GOAL. It is the goalie's job to defend, and having someone constantly behind the goal means it's a 1v3 on the opponent's side of the field for the other forward
Plus half the time, they just pass it directly to the enemy lmao. This is basically the same thing as the spreading out tip but I probably should have emphasised the goalie thing more.
@@cynicalradicand that’s up to you and what your preference for editing is. I say it may help for those who can get motion sick but I understand that a majority of ppl don’t need it. Keep up the good content ily
This was sone good advices Now to try them or disregard them completely as i play octavia and strike the core as much as possible so i can go fast gotta go fast gotta go fast GOTTA GO FAST GOTTAGOFAST
honestly, as someone who keeps being put into goalie as i quee as flex. i hate when my teamates are grouped up, and i got no one to pass to, because it means the enermy is also there and i cant get it away from my goal
@@cynicalradicand to be fair, its because it doesnt need much editing haha. Its all live commentary so i don't need to edit anything besides transitions xD. Trying to work in more editing on different content though! And seeing your editing skills from just tutorials motivates me!
As a solo player i think I've completely given up on this game. Lost i think 11 ranked games in a row in high silver and i just can't anymore. Had a blast in my like 20 hours before that though
Oh that's a shame, hopefully you'll give it another chance later down the road. Losing sucks but don't let winning or losing affect your enjoyment too much. Hop back into some norms just to dick around sometimes and enjoy yourself.
You think that’s bad? I’m here because I nearly dropped from gold twice the same day trying to bring up team EDM (also hell yeah underdogs winnin) and having my comp win rate go from 79 to 54
Those are kinda good tips i will keep them in mind. Game is kinda fun, but holy lack of surrender option is killing me. Like i main Ai.Mi and was 2nd to pick and 3rd pick was also hovering her cuz it was probably also Ai.Mi main, but i took her fist cuz why wouldn't I, then she just alt+f4, no penality for it (i think?) And i just waste time...
Yikes yeah I hate it when those moments happen, though they are usually few and far between. Good news is that they will be adding surrender button in the next update or two because they did mention it in the last patch notes. I usually avoid those situations because I main multiple strikers but if you are picking first then you should get to pick whoever you like. Like what are they going to do if ai.mi got banned? Best just to report the player and move on to the next game I suppose.
I installed the game like 3 days ago at my ps4 and im just climbing some ranks, but not gonna lie to you playing alone is quite the overwhelming feeling. But ill try to aply this tips to my gameplay as best as i can. Btw do you have any tips on Era and Rasmus?
Yeah playing alone can be pretty stressful, you could probably find some people to play with if you just hit up the discord or something though. I'll probably be making character specific guides sometime in the future but just off the top of my head: Era is extremely versatile, you can play a purely supportive playstyle with buffs and debhffs or take tons of speed and blitz people as a forward or go for kos with the tornado, though most high rank players won't fall for it. Lots of people don't ever release the tornado early because it struggles to kill that way but it can be very worth letting it go just to apply pressure on the core with the right timing. Rasmus is a bit trickier, the main skill cap is to be able to land the sweet spot on the primary consistently or it hits like a wet noodle. His secondary is extremely good for pressuring the core, you can hit the core normally and then run up to it to hit it with the recast spin. And lastly the hook is also very versatile, it has high knock back multipliers so you can score some random Kos with it, you can save the ball from going into your goal from mid field, use it to disrupt enemies trying to skirmish, and pull the core to you from the otherwise of the field vertically and immediately redirect it into the goal.
And that's why I main four characters at any given time, so I can get completely banned out and still have room to counter pick. (And simultaneously suck at all of them)
@@maquirlizarraga6829 Hot damn that's a long ass work day, curious about what you do? Tbh though, I just have striker ADHD and can't stand playing the same striker too many times in a row and it carries across all games lol.

Hey man I shared this video with some of my friends trying to learn/teach the game and we basically had the same criticisms. If you want your vids to be popular make the intro shorter, insult the viewer less(or be funnier about it), and don't overdo the funny=loud sound effects while trying to be educational - or at least split them up more clearly. This looks like your first vid of this type so it's probably experimental but you did a really good first attempt
Thanks for the feed back! I'll take that into consideration. I would like to think the humour stuff is more subjective but I probably do overdo it. And yeah now that you mention it the intro is way too long.
@@avery5920 This is constructive criticism though, it helps the creator know what people think about the project they made and make future changes based on that. If it is well received, thats great, if it isn't, then something is needed to be done
@@cynicalradicand honestly I disagree. I find your quips hilarious and tbh I learn more from this kind of video than organized step by step procedures. Then again preference is a huge part of this
While some champs are kinda busted, I'm pretty sure skill plays a much larger role. And for the most part everyone is decently balanced. If you look at the top players you can more or less see players who play any of the champs.
@@cynicalradicand my mindset a few days ago was “I wish I could ban more than 1 champ. I would ban Luna Juliette Juno X Era Rasmus Rune wait never mind their team just works together and are way better than me” so yeah I agree
its kinda crazy how there is no skill base mm in quickplay/Normal. Me and my friends just started and we are probably on a 0-10 streak right now because we are just getting put against people that know what they are doing or just getting lucky rng shots but other then that we are enjoying it. it's just that one little problem where we are getting our asses handed to us every game.
First minute and I can spot a LoL player anywhere :') we out here with psycho-analysis' to pinpoint accuracy of the most toxic insecure players. BUT DAMN a minute of that roast homie went IN. Thanks for the tips!
I recommend adding everyone you even do somewhat good with. I soloq, and I can tell you for a fact that no matter how hard the enemy is, having uncooperative allies are even worse. Teamwork makes the dre- core go in
I've been playing with MOBA controls since launch, never scored a single own goal (Thanks 10+ years of Diablo 2) and feel really comfortable with being able to move freely. Is it really that important to change to WASD? If yes, how should I change my bindings? Fore reference, my current bindings: RMB -> Move LMB -> Strike QWER -> Abilities And thanks for the video, gonna send it to my friends who simply won't pass no matter what lol Edit: I literally managed to do 0 goals+assist in 5 games in a row with WASD as forward aimi. Gonna try with WASD+1234 (Smite Bindings, pretty used to it) but guess I'm just better with MOBA settings.
Own goals are an extreme example of when things go bad but I would still suggest at least giving wasd a try. Like @MoonMarshmallow said, it will change the keybinds automatically if you choose the wasd preset but I personally like having secondary on space (default shift) Give it a go for a day or two but if you think you do much better with MOBA controls, don't let me stop you. My aggressive speech is just a persona I put on for comedy anyway and there is no right or wrong way to play the game.
@@cynicalradicand I've tried some different bindings and WASD + LMB + RMB + Mouse Side Buttons worked pretty fine (All abilities are on mouse) even though I'm still doing a little worse for now. Do you think is it at least better than MOBA controls?

Yeah, just like I said in the intro even high rank players sometimes just go brain dead and forget the basics.
Yeah I'm guilty of breaking those laws my self mostly after I played about an hour and am too tired to keep up haha

This video has insanely good editing and really good tips... but I'll still be using the controller instead of WASD and you can't stop me

Jesus christ, when did you hit the second phase of puberty and get that chad alpha male voice ma dude, Jokes were insane, haven't laughed like that in a while. Great fucking editing btw super smooth. finally a good guide to get my friends into the game.
If someone is spinning round smoothly it doesnt mean they're not playing wasd. The games cross platform so it can mean they aren't playing from pc. Mobile and controller controls have the free movement and ability to aim in this game. Personally though I've got it on pc I actually prefer the touch screen controls.
Yup, a few people have pointed that out to me already. I kinda forgot those existed when I was making the video :P
Definition of a PC player in their own world oblivious to anything else 🙄
I need Tip 2 as it's own quick little video to send to every god damn goalie in the game
UA-cam shorts moment? 😳
Every time I see a Dubu it’s a hit or miss. They either are the living embodiment of the “random bullshit go” meme or a straight gift from god
Incredible advice. You'll be hititng 1k soon for sure
Looking forward to it :D
Lmao THANK YOU. My own teammates are confused as to WHY I pass to them and they are so dumbfounded they miss hitting the core! The tip of following the core towards the goal was great I'll add that to my playbook 😊.
The most useful video I've seen on the game! Also now me and my homies know we enjoy kissing each other, tysm.
Just make sure you practice safe kissing by saying "no homo". Unless you are homo in which case "all the homo!"
@@cynicalradicand Inbetween kisses we whimper "it's just a phase", highly recommended! Even Jake who used to reply with "cope harder ****" has started to join in with us!
That was an intense first 45 seconds
Gotta hook the viewer in somehow :)
讲的不错，还有传球和对位也是很重要的一门手艺，对位移速快的压不过去没机会可以传给守门员做中转，这个还要看对面另一名进攻手在哪里，不然就变成内鬼了，对位笨的可以传队友或者直接过人射门前提是你不会被干飞doge，守门员也要时刻分析是对a还是传球给队友，这个要看对面是什么球手 最后说一句，我阿依米就是超模中的超模 嘿嘿 heart
我的中文比较差。但感谢您的评论 ❤️
This was a great video man, I'm now plat a minute after watching!
In all seriousness this video has actually helped my friend and I improve in the game a lot. I was really anxious whenever I would play goalie, but thanks to the tips in this video I feel a lot more confident as goalie, so thank you very much 🙏
I was not prepared to be called out like that right away god damn
Exposed
That intro is personal
The last tip: "the cringe" - is noy just a TIP bit a RULE.
Guys. Remember. We are a small fanbase - how on Earth are we going to increase it if we'll shame new, unexperienced players? Let em try, let em fight, let em have fun and learn.
I remember that match few days ago: it was fine, we all played normally, till one opponent disconnected, giving us easy 3>2 win.
After score we returned to our positions and with a though "Let's waste em" i was ready to get into the fight-... But something happened.
One of my teammates walked into the corner and made that "Juiliet heart" emoji. He became the viewer - he gave us 2 = 2. It was... truly beautiful.
At the end we all had fun, changing who is viewer after every goal. I am pretty sure that as well as I - our oponets left the field happy.
That's what you call - OmegaStrikers. That's why we hold togethet and stay here - to have *FUN*.
Yeah it's an unspoken rule that if someone disconnects everyone either all waits until they comeback or we make it a 2v2. Love that about the community.
Bangin' video. This is how new channels are born
"new" being 4 years old 😆
@@cynicalradicand Haha fair enough - but still its fun finding a piece of content that gets picked up nicely like this!
@@Labergemusic this is my first long form video to do decently well so I'm very grateful :D
This video is extremely informative and does deserve many more views. Thank you for such a dedicated and detailed approach
Thanks! It's already doing better than most of my other vids so I'm already quite happy :)
This game is so wildly addicting... I suck tho. Thanks for the tips.
Don't we all? 😔
Let me add one that a lot of people seem to forget. If you are not goalie, MOVE OUT OF THE GOAL. It is the goalie's job to defend, and having someone constantly behind the goal means it's a 1v3 on the opponent's side of the field for the other forward
Plus half the time, they just pass it directly to the enemy lmao. This is basically the same thing as the spreading out tip but I probably should have emphasised the goalie thing more.
How the hell does this not have more likes? Really good vid and some great tips.. even if I prefer using MOBA instead of WASD...
Tbh, the like ratio for the number of views is already pretty high for a youtube video so I'm ecstatic that everyone is blowing it up!
The intro script is godlike. Thanks for the guide!
I appreciate you enjoy being verbally assaulted :p
ngl the editing makes my head spin with how much tracking the core has lmao
Shall I tone it down for future videos?
@@cynicalradicand that’s up to you and what your preference for editing is. I say it may help for those who can get motion sick but I understand that a majority of ppl don’t need it. Keep up the good content ily
@@EternalArctic I'll dial it back just a bit then. Don't want people getting dizzy from my videos haha
@@cynicalradicand I survived max0r I can survive air hockey
This was sone good advices
Now to try them or disregard them completely as i play octavia and strike the core as much as possible so i can go fast gotta go fast gotta go fast GOTTA GO FAST GOTTAGOFAST
Who needs skill when you can be everywhere at once amirite?
@@cynicalradicand the enemy cant score if you're 4 parallel universes ahead of them
I gotcha show this to my mates when I show them this game top tier video
Thanks! And yes, drag as many friends into this game as possible, gotta grow the community :)
@@cynicalradicand much agreed needs way more exposure
i had a zentaro who would follow our goalie.
i've never been more upset in humanity in my life.
This is helping me a lot. Thanks.
6:50 Zentaro mains be like: lmao its the whole map
Only tip I think you forgot is don't stand at the edge of the map. Standing at the Edge = full hp KOs
True, and I'm very bad at that myself.
As an Octavia player, seeing this makes brain aneurysm go boom
Thanks for the guide I subbed
"and don't forget to kiss your homies passionately after every good game"
Thank you for all this information that I will never use
Good vid, keep it up man
Thanks :)
bruh this video has me dying, good job
I will prepare the coffin ⚰️
honestly, as someone who keeps being put into goalie as i quee as flex. i hate when my teamates are grouped up, and i got no one to pass to, because it means the enermy is also there and i cant get it away from my goal
the worst is when they sit on you all game and just keep passing to the opponent >:(
best tip ever: let ur goalkeeper play PLEASE
don’t stand in front of him doing his job. Position urself to get a pass so u can actually do something
Easy, play as goalie and be the big squirrel man. Works 10/10 times.
Squirrel LMAO
Thanks for the advice.
7:57 Me, nodding aggressively
I envy your editing homie you're insane with how good you made each emote of the game work with what you were saying.
Thanks, I basically just learnt everything from UA-cam tutorials haha. And I love the emotes in the game so much, so iconic.
On the other hand, I envy your dedication to upload schedule. Ain't no way I'm getting more than one video out per month or so 😂.
@@cynicalradicand yep! I'm doing that as well also haha. Awesome content man hope you go far!
@@Zolrain you too! Us smaller creators gotta stick together
@@cynicalradicand to be fair, its because it doesnt need much editing haha. Its all live commentary so i don't need to edit anything besides transitions xD. Trying to work in more editing on different content though! And seeing your editing skills from just tutorials motivates me!
My favorite is when you don’t hit the core and your own teammates blow cooldowns to come and help you
"help"
Love the use of the emoticons! 😂
That last one was so nice❤ Have a free cat
Yay I love cats
Like, the first part of the video just summarises most of todays broplems People are having nowdays
It do be like that sometimes
As a solo player i think I've completely given up on this game. Lost i think 11 ranked games in a row in high silver and i just can't anymore. Had a blast in my like 20 hours before that though
Oh that's a shame, hopefully you'll give it another chance later down the road. Losing sucks but don't let winning or losing affect your enjoyment too much. Hop back into some norms just to dick around sometimes and enjoy yourself.
You think that’s bad? I’m here because I nearly dropped from gold twice the same day trying to bring up team EDM (also hell yeah underdogs winnin) and having my comp win rate go from 79 to 54
Insanely well edited
Thanks, I spend wayyyy to much time on that so I'm glad it pays off :)
What a start to a video😂
10/10 banger vid
Those are kinda good tips i will keep them in mind. Game is kinda fun, but holy lack of surrender option is killing me. Like i main Ai.Mi and was 2nd to pick and 3rd pick was also hovering her cuz it was probably also Ai.Mi main, but i took her fist cuz why wouldn't I, then she just alt+f4, no penality for it (i think?) And i just waste time...
Yikes yeah I hate it when those moments happen, though they are usually few and far between. Good news is that they will be adding surrender button in the next update or two because they did mention it in the last patch notes.
I usually avoid those situations because I main multiple strikers but if you are picking first then you should get to pick whoever you like. Like what are they going to do if ai.mi got banned? Best just to report the player and move on to the next game I suppose.
Ngl that your "mom joke" kinda slap. You'll have my like, sub if I watch the whole thing
Edit: here's your sub
I installed the game like 3 days ago at my ps4 and im just climbing some ranks, but not gonna lie to you playing alone is quite the overwhelming feeling. But ill try to aply this tips to my gameplay as best as i can.
Btw do you have any tips on Era and Rasmus?
Yeah playing alone can be pretty stressful, you could probably find some people to play with if you just hit up the discord or something though.
I'll probably be making character specific guides sometime in the future but just off the top of my head:
Era is extremely versatile, you can play a purely supportive playstyle with buffs and debhffs or take tons of speed and blitz people as a forward or go for kos with the tornado, though most high rank players won't fall for it. Lots of people don't ever release the tornado early because it struggles to kill that way but it can be very worth letting it go just to apply pressure on the core with the right timing.
Rasmus is a bit trickier, the main skill cap is to be able to land the sweet spot on the primary consistently or it hits like a wet noodle. His secondary is extremely good for pressuring the core, you can hit the core normally and then run up to it to hit it with the recast spin. And lastly the hook is also very versatile, it has high knock back multipliers so you can score some random Kos with it, you can save the ball from going into your goal from mid field, use it to disrupt enemies trying to skirmish, and pull the core to you from the otherwise of the field vertically and immediately redirect it into the goal.
Great advice for a n00b thank you!!!!!!!!!!
Your so honest it’s scary😟…
Honesty is a virtue 😇
Alright this looks cool im gonna download it later
Wow I'm surprised this video is reaching beyond the player base :o
Guess i'm a sucker for this art style and yt slides it in. Plus your video is doing numbers so its out there
And congrats on your 1k sub (count me in) keep it up and i'm sure you'll get big ❤
@@upgr3eyedd933 I'll let my artist friend know you like his stuff :)
Ight let him know and tell him that i wish him a gday (and u2)
Really nice video!
Thanks :)
Unless your own teammates vote out your main and the enemy votes out your secondary so your left with that measly third😅
And that's why I main four characters at any given time, so I can get completely banned out and still have room to counter pick. (And simultaneously suck at all of them)
It's hard to main more than 2 i work 6am to 7pm mon-sat so I don't play as much as most people do, i also have other games to play and things to do
@@maquirlizarraga6829 Hot damn that's a long ass work day, curious about what you do? Tbh though, I just have striker ADHD and can't stand playing the same striker too many times in a row and it carries across all games lol.
@@cynicalradicand i load construction materials on trucks for a construction company, the problem is that i live in Mexico, work laws and pay are shit unfortunately
@@maquirlizarraga6829 oh I see, pretty admirable though.
I spam emotes all the time, its my favorite thing to do.
Hey man I shared this video with some of my friends trying to learn/teach the game and we basically had the same criticisms. If you want your vids to be popular make the intro shorter, insult the viewer less(or be funnier about it), and don't overdo the funny=loud sound effects while trying to be educational - or at least split them up more clearly. This looks like your first vid of this type so it's probably experimental but you did a really good first attempt
Thanks for the feed back! I'll take that into consideration. I would like to think the humour stuff is more subjective but I probably do overdo it. And yeah now that you mention it the intro is way too long.
imagine being the type of person who watches yt videos to criticise them
@@avery5920 This is constructive criticism though, it helps the creator know what people think about the project they made and make future changes based on that. If it is well received, thats great, if it isn't, then something is needed to be done
@@erhixon773 better to ignore it imo. If you honestly listened to every piece of criticism you get, you'd never be able to make anything
@@cynicalradicand honestly I disagree. I find your quips hilarious and tbh I learn more from this kind of video than organized step by step procedures. Then again preference is a huge part of this
I played for a day and I only thought of half of these
The sexual innuendos are unmatched.
This is basically League of Legends and FIFA combined.
Want to hit high elo? Then it’s time to GIT GUD and play meta champs.
While some champs are kinda busted, I'm pretty sure skill plays a much larger role. And for the most part everyone is decently balanced. If you look at the top players you can more or less see players who play any of the champs.
@@cynicalradicand my mindset a few days ago was “I wish I could ban more than 1 champ. I would ban Luna Juliette Juno X Era Rasmus Rune wait never mind their team just works together and are way better than me” so yeah I agree
I wish it didn't take me 15+ minutes to find a lobby
Same tbh
its kinda crazy how there is no skill base mm in quickplay/Normal. Me and my friends just started and we are probably on a 0-10 streak right now because we are just getting put against people that know what they are doing or just getting lucky rng shots but other then that we are enjoying it. it's just that one little problem where we are getting our asses handed to us every game.
Yeah, unfortunately you might have a better time in ranked honestly.
@@cynicalradicand yea that's what I was thinking as well
4:44 yeah, you heard that X mains? stop being like barou and pass
Oh wow X really does look a whole lot like barou
Better idea. Have you tried getting good?😊
Nah. That's why I still suck
@@cynicalradicand I am the same
First minute and I can spot a LoL player anywhere :') we out here with psycho-analysis' to pinpoint accuracy of the most toxic insecure players. BUT DAMN a minute of that roast homie went IN.
Thanks for the tips!
Toxic players really are the worst, but they aren't always bad people. Some just need a bit of a wake up slap >:)
Hardstuck Bronze? No, I'm hardstuck rookie.
💀
I have took in all of this tips and yet im still hard stuck bronze
you'll get there eventually, just keep at it :)
I recommend adding everyone you even do somewhat good with. I soloq, and I can tell you for a fact that no matter how hard the enemy is, having uncooperative allies are even worse. Teamwork makes the dre- core go in
I've been playing with MOBA controls since launch, never scored a single own goal (Thanks 10+ years of Diablo 2) and feel really comfortable with being able to move freely. Is it really that important to change to WASD? If yes, how should I change my bindings?
Fore reference, my current bindings:
RMB -> Move
LMB -> Strike
QWER -> Abilities
And thanks for the video, gonna send it to my friends who simply won't pass no matter what lol
Edit: I literally managed to do 0 goals+assist in 5 games in a row with WASD as forward aimi. Gonna try with WASD+1234 (Smite Bindings, pretty used to it) but guess I'm just better with MOBA settings.
i think the game automatically changes the keybinds if you swap over to wasd
Own goals are an extreme example of when things go bad but I would still suggest at least giving wasd a try. Like @MoonMarshmallow said, it will change the keybinds automatically if you choose the wasd preset but I personally like having secondary on space (default shift)
Give it a go for a day or two but if you think you do much better with MOBA controls, don't let me stop you. My aggressive speech is just a persona I put on for comedy anyway and there is no right or wrong way to play the game.
Both Moba and wasd have there merits tbh. If you get good with one then it doesn't matter what other people say. Just prove them wrong!
@@Luuniverse You can get good with the inferior controls; this does not make the inferior controls any better.
@@cynicalradicand I've tried some different bindings and WASD + LMB + RMB + Mouse Side Buttons worked pretty fine (All abilities are on mouse) even though I'm still doing a little worse for now. Do you think is it at least better than MOBA controls?
