My pc gave me hell editing this so comment any funny captions you see that i couldng fix and i should be upgrading my pc this weekend so hopefully that will fix it! Anyways I love yall and hope you enjoy!
I'm 52. Recently widowed and bought a PS5 to help take my mind off of her. Welp. This is my first time playing any type of FPS and let me just say. This is actually nore depressing. I'm getting dog walked. Molly whopped. I mean these people are beating the brakes off of me. I feel as if I forgot that I borrowed money, and the guy I borrowed it from plays every match I'm in. I think just grieving was easier. Now I'm grieving and pissed.
Best of luck with everything man. I just plain suck at shooters. I normally prefer, singleplayer, melee, and fighting games. Aim training and game knowledge is the fastest way to improve. And hang in there I'm not as old as you but I do be being whopped by the players lol.
My dad lost his wife (my step mom) early last year and I feel for you. It was hard seeing him in the state he was in. Go mess around VS. AI (bottom right of the game mode panel) and mess around with different characters.
Sorry for your loss and team shooters like these are just full of trolls. Every scummy Overwatch player came to this game. The good and nice ones are far and few between.
The biggest thing I’ve learned from my thousands and thousands of hours on competitive games is that the people shit talking the most & blaming people the most are usually the worst. The TRULY good players just shut up, and LOCK IN. Good players realize that there’s no point in fucking people’s mental just to make yourself feel better.
I’ve biggest thing I’ve realized while trying to coach my friends who are in gold, is that EVERY. SINGLE. ONE. Of them have 0 awareness of what is going on around them and where their supports are. I constantly see them die around corners even though they had MORE than enough time to go back into LoS of the healers because they don’t ever bother to even CHECK where their supports are positioned
Lmao imagine seeing ur support playing luna snow and go in to do DPS and barely get 2k healing done after one round. TRY having those Teammates for 10 streaks, where you are almost always the SVP trying to win.
I highly disagree, so boring having to play matches where the only thing people will respond to is me eventually flaming them. If you gonna play ranked then either be capable or get flamed. If you wasting my time tryna troll games you have no idea how to play, then I’m gonna at least have some fun and call you out so that you think before trolling more games.
Nah bruh as a dps hela main I blame people because they genuinely suck I don’t complain when people are good I complain when people are bad it’s simple
ngl, you chasing down that rocket raccoon was a good instance of you as a dps doing your job he's not just not healing his team, he's running for his life.
BRO THANK YOU BUT YOU DIDNT HAVE TO! just watch the videos with ads on LOL nah but seriously thank you so much for the donation and im glad you enjoyed the content and that I could help!
As someone who Climbed to GM relatively quickly as well, this is genuinely great advice. Not only does he perfectly describe the changes in play style between Lower tiers and Higher tiers. But he also perfectly explains the type of Macro and Map awareness needed to improve as a player. As a GM player, i learned alot from this video- So even high skill players will always have things to learn and new perspectives to consider. Great Video!
@Syrin23 oh did you just witness my ranked match? 😂 See also my team before that that just decided to leave solo tank, to 3 deep healers against a team of 1 healer all dps. They flamed me for going negative. 🙃 They said I died because I don't know my role and can't aim. They didn't have 10k healing combined among them. The only reasonable time to hate healers
@@johnmoshier3497 It's unreal isn't it. I'm not great, am gold/plat and slowly climbing, but the WORST part of climbing by FAR was bronze. Once I hit silver, we got legit team comps 90% of the time, and if someone instalocked Spider Man, they usually had some skill, and that go more and more true as I climbed
@@Syrin23 I've been trying to climb to gold and it's been hell for me in both bronze and silver. Made it to like silver 1 and have had nothing but absolutely abysmal matches and toxic screeching teammates who go negative and yell at our healers 😂 dps's that are going like 0/8 in the first 5 minutes and yelling at healers saying they're trash and should quit
@@Syrin23 I've been knocked all the way back down to silver 3 almost bronze and I had to quit for the night. Horrendous teammates both in skill and personality lol. It's been rough 😂😭
Playing tank in lower elos had me questioning peoples intelligence… healers not healing if u even get healers, team not going in when i’m taking space, out dpsing as tank, the list goes on and on. Solo queue burns braincells at lower elo
@@rainierxd93it 100% is. It is basically gold level when you think about it bc if you have half decent aim you can just walk into diamond spamming hela or Hawkeye being carried by those picks and it’s a whole new game when they have to play a dps who needs to do more than spam a choke and sit behind their tanks
@@SnoopyMot it gets real once you hit plat. That’s the bar where the best comps separate themselves from the rest. Plat is mid. Gold and below is lower Elo
Honestly the insta lock DPS wannabes in this game are a genuine problem. I’m diamond in rivals, and more than half of my DPS tm8s don’t understand how to make space or get picks, if we’re pushing through a spot they just use us tanks as body shields instead of trying to find an angle to pick off an iron man or a Hawkeye or a healer. It seems like most DPS mains just either aren’t confident or are just scared to die
@@Syrin23 I believe it, I cant count how many times I’m running back to the point after dying and the Luna and mantis are in the front of the pack WITHOUT an ult. Truly mind blowing
@@breeyzy5990 I have no idea. Fear of dying? I see Thor, Strange, Magneto and Penni players playing like scared ranged DPS while the other team's Thor is backling and beating the crap out of the healers
The best aim training is going to the practice range, putting the range to mid range and movement random and practice killing all the squishy character models with whoever you’re trying to aim better with each character aims differently so if you really wanna get better at aiming with that character, this is how you do it
No. The best aim training is going to be going on steam and downloading aimlabs/kovaaks and actually learning fundamentals of aiming and keeping the game specific things while playing the game
@@learntooilpaint its more logical that you are just to balance your time training. But its true that people new to aim trainers do not improve efficiently because they lack critical information.
I have played a lot of League of Legends over the years, but this summer I found a podcast by some Aussie guys called Broken By Concept. They have drastically changed my outlook on competitive games. One thing that I have brought to Marvel Rivals from them is a 3 block system if you are trying to climb ranked. Basically play 3 games back to back, incorporate some sort of review of anything that got you frustrated from that block, and then take a break. At least an hour or two. Go for a walk, do some chores, whatever you need to do and then you can come back and do another 3 block. I wonder if for Rivals, a 4 or 5 block may be better because of game length. For League, some games are a 20 minute stomp or a 40 minute slog and that can be really draining. That's why 3 works so well.
honestly your "rants" have helped me a lot. i've only played 50 games of comp due to work, but i'm really close to gm. hoping to hit it by the end of this season
@@Coach_Shottybro the playing less would’ve helped me so much through my climb especially in low gold when i was going up and down, currently plat 1 ish and honestly yesterday i played all day and ended up going to plat 2. this makes so much sense and is gonna help lots on my way to diamond lol
lol the venom fact you spilled was so true. I main Venom, and a lot of games I win with a solid team, the enemy team says stuff like “venom carried” or “venom holy fuck you focused our healers all game sheesh” But you’re right, when your random team doesn’t know how to play off of your plays, it’s hard to win fights or matches
I really appreciate content creators like you, sincerely. People who really want others to improve and dive into all the details in an easily digestible way instead of repeating the same basic concepts w/o explaining it are dope. Hope you grow to a prominent creator in this community. Respect 🔥
As a gold mantis main, I have to constantly remind myself that just because I am a healer and I should be playing at the backline instead of fighting on the frontline because I think that because of my damage boost I can be a frontline.
I don't know many times I have told myself "go back not your job"😂 but I've just picked up a week ago and trying to improve, I know it's my aiming that needs work but overall I just feel like I'm not doing the job properly.
Wow this is so informative. I learned something for each rank. I have been floating MASSIVELY. Went from silver 1, to plat 2, then switched up my main from Wolverine to psylock because I felt like I was plateauing and I wanted to have more impact on the games. Dropped down to gold 3, and now I’ve climbed back up to gold 1. But, I haven’t had any real structure, and I have absolutely rage queued, queued when I’m tired/not focused, queued when I’m tilted, and also blamed everyone but myself. This is my first video on your channel and you adressed all of this. Ty so much. Earned a sub and a like, will be tuning in more often.
@@estebanslavidastic4382 wolverine is so bad in the lower ranks, if everyone is out of position a character that puts the enemy o ut of position wont work
@ exactly. No one can capitalize on his plays, or even knows how. Wolverine doesn’t start actually regularly contributing value until like, diamond and up imo. I just found that the value I got on him was so INCONSISTENT. Some games I would go 30-1, or 37-3, with top(or close to top) damage, and I felt like an immortal powerhouse that was an absolute nightmare for their tanks. To the point where their tanks would actively play around me and get terrified when they see me. Then other games, I would be playing the EXACT same way, and would feel like I would just fall over. Get no value, and even if I snatched a tank and went in on them, they would just pop a cd, and get healed and they were fine.
That's what I do to as a rocket main, we use those walls and hight differences to outrun ANYTHING. (I've played a bunch of DBD so it's like you're looping the killer hahaha)
This is probably the best advice I've heard for a game like this I will admit, that many times I get caught up in the heat of the moment as a healer and don't look behind me and that results in me forgetting to heal someone, honestly they need to make the I need healing sound it's own thing so that it stands out more in the audio crunch of the game, there's so mamy audio cues I'm glistening for that i don't often pay attention at the garbled ping that current healing gives. At the same time, better situational awareness does help out in this regard, especially playing healers that don't always have to look straight to even heal
came for the content, left with a life lesson about chasing difficulty and pushing yourself did NOT expect that honestly great analysis and video, subscribed.
Your logic of hardcore one tricking before learning another role is fair but i think you should do that in quickplay if your goal is only to learn the hero in and out. Dont take that attitude to rank.
@@Coach_Shotty I hard disagree with the one trick but I also come from valorant as a high rank player so Im probably not your average person picking up the game. But your completely right that quick play is not adequate practice.
I’d rather have someone be really good in a role rather than flex to a role that they are so atrocious in that it’s literally worse which is in more cases than you imagine cause people who flex in lower ranks have the mindset of “oh it’s just a healer all I have to do is left click” or “oh it’s just a tank all I have to do is push” etc. rather someone understand their role and positioning for their respective role in the team, once someone is good with their respective hero it becomes much easier to learn other hero’s because instead of learning abilities you are learning how to counter which is much more important
I am very impressed with this video because you kept throwing out specific scenarios that I have been in many times where I am genuinely confused on how we are losing. Thank you for explaining some solutions. Great video 👍
One thing better explained regarding pushing, is that pushing doesn’t have to be agressive in the sense you win the fight but distracting the enemy. There was a game that I was being annoying with C&D to the point 3 people chased me down when I got behind them. They really chased me down and I distracted them for a good 20-30 seconds. Which is pretty huge help for teammates as the run the payload or defend it.
Listening to this video was like listening to myself talk about all of my passions and obscure knowledge of pedagogy and very specific sciences lmao. Needless to say I enjoyed it, thank you for the reminders on some points and thank you for the new information on others.
As a peak gold 3 in 5 days of playing this as my first shooter ever, not being a one trick really helped. Game sense is what's vital, communicating w/ ur team using pings and chat when u die or before the game is vital. Mechanical skill will come with time, which helps with all characters. I have a main, dagger, but if someone else q's dagger, I have 3-4 other options.
Terrible advice id rather have 6 "mid" people going 2/2/2. Then 6 good dps. Learn the roles Main something in each of them its not that Hard. A game like this just gives you way too many disadvantages if you dont have every role. Maybe its diffrent for Mr. Grandmaster over here playing in silver or bronze but for us playing in Gold if you go 6 dps you Auto loose. Rock paper scissors anyone?
After years of just listening to COD UA-camrs, I’ve realized there’s a massive gap in intelligence. You just gave me something that I don’t see anymore from other channels-tips I haven’t heard before, and they actually make sense! That’s extremely rare. Thank you."
Honestly taking the two tips from your videos have helped me a lot. First to stop when I hit a lose streak. I'll play until I hit 2 loses in a row then I get off or switch to quickplay. Sometime that means I play 2 matches other times I play twenty. If I still want to play, if say I lost 2 right off, I'll just hop on quickplay to practice characters that Im not as good with. I've also been focusing on one character. I actually got this tip from someone else awhile back for OW but its really solid. Once you get good with a character and you know the positioning and their moves become muscle memory you can play them really well and you learn so much more playing at a higher skill. Your game skill just kind of starts to snow ball once your not just fighting to remember the moves on a character.
I got into a match . While seeing teammates chose characters I got an uneasy feeling. A teammate on the team messaged saying "bot lobby" . I believe in loosers queue
Dude...truly grateful for the content in your videos. I've only just started watching your stuff and it has been IMMEDIATELY helpful - keep up the great work! I especially appreciate your honesty about the mentality of playing this game...the insight is spot on and great lessons for playing anything really.
I still don’t get the alt account thing. Just play quick play for practice. Like…. Stop trying to flex by saying I made it to gm and then made an alt to practice. It just makes you look like a worried nerd bully. Other than that great advice
Quick play is horrible for practice unless you’re just trying to get basic abilities down. Maybe if you’re in gold and practicing but if you’re trying to get a new character to be decent in diamond + you need a more comp environment
@@wesleyshum8913 the amount of 22 year old men banging there head against the wall not knowing what they are doing and flaming their teammates when they die half as much as they kill is worse in comp. These ass hats jump right in competitive cause they think they are HIM and then blame the tanks and heals. If you only have 2 hours to play at the end of the night, don’t waste my time by queuing competitive after you just got off work and are already drained from the day. Or worse, drunk. My teams are consistently better in quick play. Seems like a cope cause you platoed and don’t want to rng lose your rank with bad teammate. Ban the smurfs.
@ then why are quick play players better than most the gold and platinum players I get cued with? The amount of 20 something young men with no game sense who cue up competitive drained after work, drunk, smoked out, ready to flame their team is staggering in competitive. 3-4 times my teams are at least decent in quick play. And if you are learning and already good enough to GM then alt accounting is still a scared cope and ultimately unsportsmanlike. Ban smurfs.
Exactly this. This video started going downhill for me as soon as he started talking about using alts to practice. I understand from the perspective of just pushing your rank up on your main account but you increase way faster than you decrease anyway in this game and it's just toxic as hell for low ranks. On top of that your rewards end of season are based on your top rank, not your end of season rank. His tips at the start were good but it's clear this guy is a dps main and only knows the game from that perspective
I wish more people had the mindset of “What could I have done better?” rather than just blaming teammates, and not reflecting on what they could’ve done differently. Even if I know I did the best I could’ve done and my team was not up to par, the question never changes, “what could I have done better?”
a tip i learned as a cloak and dagger main (diamond 2) is if the healers die you win the fight. tanks gotta learn to peel and not let characters just run through and dive. dps gotta stop damage farming on the tank and actually shoot their supports. also for supports if you're a backline healers play in the back for christ sake. why are you in the middle of the fight we need you alive
if you're scared to lose your rank so you make alts to stomp lobbies, then you aren't the rank you think you are. if you just played your higher rank lobbies you'll get better faster by playing better people. crushing gold lobbies just makes players want to stop playing ranked because they are getting mashed.
Playing ranked with 0 psychological pressure about keeping your rank is a significantly better learning environment than queueing and being stressed out the whole time.
Ur not the same rank on every hero tho I have a pretty good C&D but ask me to play other characters I’m absolutely dog wash n not carrying anything so I don’t think it applies
love this series, so many other "ultimate guides" provide barebones information, misinformation/bad tips/habits, etc. For this theres plenty of useful information I don't know, and even if I did its at least coming from someone knowledgeable enough that I feel validated
Yeah I wish they would utilize that they are not healers and are strategists. I would like more characters that arnt healers in strategist. They are there to make the team feel stronger or make enemy team feel weaker. Storm being the best example. I feel like if it wasn’t for the strategist have to have a heal. Storm would be perfect example of a non healer strategist.
My group has recently been playing quick play with no healers to improve all of our individual skills and survivability. It's also super satisfying to beat a team without healing
"Smurfing is cool guys, it helps you practice without losing your rank!" My guy has never heard of casual play or practice range. Ruining lower tier rank games with zero remorse deserves a dislike and not subscribing to your shit.
But he worked really hard for 6 days to get that shiny rank. Can't lose it now by playing the game for more than an hour after taking a cold shower and doing eye exercises.🤣
I don’t think you understood what he meant… he wasn’t saying to Smurf. He mentioned that as tank he’s at best silver, so it’s okay to play lower ranks. If you’re grandmaster at dps that doesn’t mean that applies to other roles cause you can be a bronze tank. The alt account can help you just understand other roles better on a comp level while actually being in that rank for that specific role.
This is actually really good advice. I am an eternity support player and was pleasantly surprised at how accurate and in depth this advice was. Really well done.
About pushing, i think that by far the best character to push is cloak and dagger, her ult is like a red carpet your team sees and just walk there, it's like a passive ability the character has and no one knows about it lol. Luna and mantis also have massive ults BUT if youre under plat/diamond your teammates will prolly just stay in the range and not push
Best explanation for training from any video I've seen over the past decade lol. What makes it even better is that you put the same level of research into it as other people put into researching exercises.
The sleep thing is so real. My strat in school was just study right before bed and get a good night of sleep and then I'd magically know the content when I woke up. Worst test I ever took was off an all nighter
You know, speaking of ego, now imagine you are 40 years old. You've been a hardcore gamer for the last 30 years and suddenly someone half your age starts telling you how you can't actually play at all. Guess what. He's absolutely right :D. You sir, you are a treasure. Your advices has really helped. Thank you.
Tysm shotty I really enjoy listening to this while im working or just sitting in my bed watching gameplay. I find it really helpful and interesting tysmmm
In regards to the dps standing behind healer and not getting heals, if my two tanks are on critical and I'm spam healing them, go find a health pack lol
Reading some of these comments feels like people didn’t actually watch the video. Anyway thanks Shotty, a lot of good advice here. I appreciate how you give constructive criticism without talking down to your viewers.
Best part in my struggles to make it out of the lower ranks are the auto lock DPS that try and dictate the team comp and tell you who and how to play. My friend and I mainly tank and support because no one else will and they're telling us how we're playing wrong when we can out damage them.......gotta love it
I think for climbing rank, its key to learn 2 heroes of each role. That way if someone else locks in one of the heroes you know well, you have a backup. It opens up the possibilities to pivot should you need to. And as far as comp, I am an AMAZING healer, but even getting 40k heals in a ranked match doesnt matter if I am the only healer. Usually you need at least 2. That way if one dies, you have another out there topping everyone up. Sometimes 3 healers works, assuming the enemy team is bad at backlining the healers.
Awesome vid the tips particularly on spacing and making sure I'm playing my role helped a whole lot in me finally getting out of silver 1/gold 3! Although, the "one-tricking" I think is what was actually holding me back, as soon as I switched to my other main after I was on a losing streak I went on a winning streak immediately after. I think it's bc in lower ranks at least you're more likely to lose if you have good healers avg dps/tanks vs avg healers good dps/tanks Huge thanks again
From a healer, to iron man mains; i love yall cause you make life easy, but just a wee little tip. If you stay a little bit in front of us, it’s easier to glance up and see your health status. If you want healing, ping it and we’ll prolly focus you. y’all tend to be hard to locate on some maps visually, and just a little bit of changing your position and communicating with the visual pings will help you get more heals. (as long as your healer is actually healing)
Would love the practice range routines. I would specifically like a way to practice tracking and focusing head shots from the in game practice range because i don’t really want to pull up kovaks or aimlabs
Wow dude you got me so motivated to do everything you talked about! That is the fitness guy in you shining through. Amazing video! I subscribed xoxo keep up the good work
I've only watched half this video and im already identifying lots of issues my team is having as well as where I'm making mistakes as a tank main. Not to be a sap, but I appreciate the hard truth you're giving us. Ill be running this through the team so we adjust better to fit our fights.
i absolutely need this not done yet but im gonna keep watching this and your stuff cause i honestly don't know how to get better or get out of my rank thanks for the effort you put into this
As Support, my biggest issue is my team ignoring call-outs. When I mark an enemy in the back lane, or specifically request in chat to focus on a hero to kill..nobody listens. Usually it's Spider-Man, Black Panther, and sometimes Capt. America. They just ignore the healers plight to be saved and then we crash and burn in the match. Drives me crazy.
This was a great vid bro, I love the comparison between brain training and physical training. I will definitely check out those eye and finder training links. I work a desk job and play games at night. I get terrible eye fatigue.
This was a really good episode, honestly I'm at a point in my life were I have kind of stopped trying to improve at video games. This video gave me some good motivation to keep pushing! Also finding this video at the same time I'm supposed to find ways to exercise my wrist XD
I've been thinking about looking into getting a coach for marvel. I've always been low rank like my max is gold 2 which is what I'm at now. This video and the aim training one came in at the perfect time. Plus it makes sense to me. I love it.
This man is truly amazing, I came here expecting some simple tips to kill more ppl in rivals but now I am a wise man enriched with wisdom. Dude I honestly love your way of scientifically improving in games and explaining it flawlessly in such a way even my smooth brain can understand. Keep up the work man, I think your tips can actually help me outside of the game.
I would say that flexing early on is okay, because it helps you understand the pain of your teammates. After playing some rounds as a strategist, I understood what I had to do as a Vanguard to ensure that they stay alive, which is harrass the duelist or vanguard who is trying to dive. Yes they may come back, but if they realize that they can't just dive willynilly, it gives my team more breathing room, and more time to push.
I main support. I heal a lot. I heal everyone. One thing I cannot do many times in matches is look away from the frontline, because if I do they will die in half a second. I am always trying to find that Iron Man in the sky or the Magick in hallway behind enemy lines. But the frontline is constantly taking damage, and more often than not is constantly on the brink of death. So give us some slack in that regard. Sure, there are a ton of healers out there with absolutely 0 awareness of where their team is, but also consider that without our frontline we don't win. Go for the health packs, DPS mains!!
I took a similar approach in my climb, I'm usually the last to pick, so 9 times out of 10, I ended up becoming very comfortable with strategist. I might not make it to GM, yet alone diamond but I wanted to get good on a character that wasn't going to be banned like Luna if I did make it so I went down the line and mained someone in the middle ground. Took to Cloak and Dagger and started a steady climb up to Plat. In between the climb, I'd take a break between major brackets (Silver to gold) and go for a walk, hit the gym or do anything away from the pc to the point where it was only taking me something like 3-4 games to break out of the lower ranks. Same thing with the losses, 3 in a row and I'd come back the next day. Right now I'm sitting in plat because hey, I got the moonnight skin (my main goal for playing ranked) and I'm learning other characters and role basics in QP. I'll still use Cloak as my main character, but now I have at least 3 other characters in each role so I won't be a fish out of water if we need a tank or dps, or I run into another cloak one trick.
That’s why I stuck to mastering psy straight from the get go, considering she’s a 5 star difficulty she’s really easy for me now. Reached Grandmaster 1 with her and now I’m currently trying to master Magik. I’ve gotten her combos down but definitely still need work.
My pc gave me hell editing this so comment any funny captions you see that i couldng fix and i should be upgrading my pc this weekend so hopefully that will fix it!
Anyways I love yall and hope you enjoy!
Are you Long Island Audit’s gaming channel?
@ no
I cant find the sensetivity converter in the desc, am I blind or did you forget it
i did forget it but i put it in a few mins ago its under the L-theanine @A1ViiN
lol "off angles" was written as "all fangles" multiple times. Great guide, I'm new to shooters in general so this is incredible advice to hear!
I'm 52. Recently widowed and bought a PS5 to help take my mind off of her.
Welp. This is my first time playing any type of FPS and let me just say. This is actually nore depressing. I'm getting dog walked. Molly whopped. I mean these people are beating the brakes off of me. I feel as if I forgot that I borrowed money, and the guy I borrowed it from plays every match I'm in.
I think just grieving was easier. Now I'm grieving and pissed.
Best of luck with everything man.
I just plain suck at shooters. I normally prefer, singleplayer, melee, and fighting games. Aim training and game knowledge is the fastest way to improve. And hang in there I'm not as old as you but I do be being whopped by the players lol.
Haha its hard trying to play an FPS when everyone else has been playing the same genre for years, my dad tried but gave up
My dad lost his wife (my step mom) early last year and I feel for you. It was hard seeing him in the state he was in.
Go mess around VS. AI (bottom right of the game mode panel) and mess around with different characters.
Sorry for your loss and team shooters like these are just full of trolls. Every scummy Overwatch player came to this game. The good and nice ones are far and few between.
It's not worth getting into competitive games at all
If someone told me in game "Don't over heat", I would have no f'ing clue what you were talking about
in the intensity of the fight you sometimes get so focused on winning the particular exchange that you forget the bigger picture, that's what it means
@@user-km7cw1iy8s Just say tunnel vision then, "overheat" is so vague I honestly thought he was talking about Strange's dark magic mechanic
Yep first time I’ve heard it that way. For the gen. pop. I think it’d be better to say tunnel vision
The biggest thing I’ve learned from my thousands and thousands of hours on competitive games is that the people shit talking the most & blaming people the most are usually the worst. The TRULY good players just shut up, and LOCK IN. Good players realize that there’s no point in fucking people’s mental just to make yourself feel better.
I’ve biggest thing I’ve realized while trying to coach my friends who are in gold, is that EVERY. SINGLE. ONE. Of them have 0 awareness of what is going on around them and where their supports are. I constantly see them die around corners even though they had MORE than enough time to go back into LoS of the healers because they don’t ever bother to even CHECK where their supports are positioned
Lmao imagine seeing ur support playing luna snow and go in to do DPS and barely get 2k healing done after one round. TRY having those Teammates for 10 streaks, where you are almost always the SVP trying to win.
My best games even before marvel rivals on Warzone my best games were with people that don’t talk
I highly disagree, so boring having to play matches where the only thing people will respond to is me eventually flaming them. If you gonna play ranked then either be capable or get flamed. If you wasting my time tryna troll games you have no idea how to play, then I’m gonna at least have some fun and call you out so that you think before trolling more games.
Nah bruh as a dps hela main I blame people because they genuinely suck I don’t complain when people are good I complain when people are bad it’s simple
ngl, you chasing down that rocket raccoon was a good instance of you as a dps doing your job
he's not just not healing his team, he's running for his life.
And he was DAMN GOOD at running for his life
Crazy escape😂
Good example of when to chase and when not to.
infuriating to watch, but its good to know that hes a squirrely bastard for everyone, not just the melee heroes xD
Guys I think he went from level 1 to grandmaster in 6 days
LMFAO i was waiting for comments like these. I know its annoying but its for all the people who have never seen my videos
No way! Where did you hear that?
Wait really?
And he is an aim coach
He actually dropped a lot of knowledge. He didn't make this video to gloat
Dude said “I’m getting old I’m 23.” Brother you are the farthest thing from old lmao.
Honestly, I learned a lot of things and you cleared a bunch of misconceptions I had. I appreciate the video.
BRO THANK YOU BUT YOU DIDNT HAVE TO! just watch the videos with ads on LOL nah but seriously thank you so much for the donation and im glad you enjoyed the content and that I could help!
As someone who Climbed to GM relatively quickly as well, this is genuinely great advice.
Not only does he perfectly describe the changes in play style between Lower tiers and Higher tiers. But he also perfectly explains the type of Macro and Map awareness needed to improve as a player.
As a GM player, i learned alot from this video- So even high skill players will always have things to learn and new perspectives to consider.
Great Video!
Healers get respect and less flack is the wildest thing I've heard in 2025 so far for any game
DPS player who goes 4-15: "HEALING SUCKED, I AM REPORTING YOU"
Me: 38,000 healing
@Syrin23 oh did you just witness my ranked match? 😂 See also my team before that that just decided to leave solo tank, to 3 deep healers against a team of 1 healer all dps. They flamed me for going negative. 🙃 They said I died because I don't know my role and can't aim. They didn't have 10k healing combined among them. The only reasonable time to hate healers
@@johnmoshier3497 It's unreal isn't it. I'm not great, am gold/plat and slowly climbing, but the WORST part of climbing by FAR was bronze. Once I hit silver, we got legit team comps 90% of the time, and if someone instalocked Spider Man, they usually had some skill, and that go more and more true as I climbed
@@Syrin23 I've been trying to climb to gold and it's been hell for me in both bronze and silver. Made it to like silver 1 and have had nothing but absolutely abysmal matches and toxic screeching teammates who go negative and yell at our healers 😂 dps's that are going like 0/8 in the first 5 minutes and yelling at healers saying they're trash and should quit
@@Syrin23 I've been knocked all the way back down to silver 3 almost bronze and I had to quit for the night. Horrendous teammates both in skill and personality lol. It's been rough 😂😭
Playing tank in lower elos had me questioning peoples intelligence… healers not healing if u even get healers, team not going in when i’m taking space, out dpsing as tank, the list goes on and on. Solo queue burns braincells at lower elo
It doesn’t get any better once you hit plat.. I’m still being teamed up with goofies smh
@@cwavygaming6615plat is lower elo bro 😭
@@SnoopyMot i firmly believe elo hell is diamond 2 to plat 3
@@rainierxd93it 100% is. It is basically gold level when you think about it bc if you have half decent aim you can just walk into diamond spamming hela or Hawkeye being carried by those picks and it’s a whole new game when they have to play a dps who needs to do more than spam a choke and sit behind their tanks
@@SnoopyMot it gets real once you hit plat. That’s the bar where the best comps separate themselves from the rest. Plat is mid. Gold and below is lower Elo
Honestly the insta lock DPS wannabes in this game are a genuine problem. I’m diamond in rivals, and more than half of my DPS tm8s don’t understand how to make space or get picks, if we’re pushing through a spot they just use us tanks as body shields instead of trying to find an angle to pick off an iron man or a Hawkeye or a healer. It seems like most DPS mains just either aren’t confident or are just scared to die
10,000% this. I am a support main, and when I see Spider Man, Moon Knight and Scarlet Witch instalocked, I know it's a loss
And tanks are afraid to die. Do you know how many times I have had to lead the charge to the point as Luna? It's INSANE!
@@Syrin23 I believe it, I cant count how many times I’m running back to the point after dying and the Luna and mantis are in the front of the pack WITHOUT an ult. Truly mind blowing
@@Syrin23no seriously why are the tanks afraid to push
@@breeyzy5990 I have no idea. Fear of dying? I see Thor, Strange, Magneto and Penni players playing like scared ranged DPS while the other team's Thor is backling and beating the crap out of the healers
0:22 Dunno why but i laughed at "As each sections gets more advanced, the tips will get better and... more advanced (?"
The best aim training is going to the practice range, putting the range to mid range and movement random and practice killing all the squishy character models with whoever you’re trying to aim better with each character aims differently so if you really wanna get better at aiming with that character, this is how you do it
No.
The best aim training is going to be going on steam and downloading aimlabs/kovaaks and actually learning fundamentals of aiming and keeping the game specific things while playing the game
Aim vs luna, mantis and rocket - thats really all you need. Rocket since its a shorter hero
Using in game practice is proven to be better than any aim trainer
@@learntooilpaint its more logical that you are just to balance your time training. But its true that people new to aim trainers do not improve efficiently because they lack critical information.
I have played a lot of League of Legends over the years, but this summer I found a podcast by some Aussie guys called Broken By Concept. They have drastically changed my outlook on competitive games. One thing that I have brought to Marvel Rivals from them is a 3 block system if you are trying to climb ranked. Basically play 3 games back to back, incorporate some sort of review of anything that got you frustrated from that block, and then take a break. At least an hour or two. Go for a walk, do some chores, whatever you need to do and then you can come back and do another 3 block. I wonder if for Rivals, a 4 or 5 block may be better because of game length. For League, some games are a 20 minute stomp or a 40 minute slog and that can be really draining. That's why 3 works so well.
"If you want blueberries, you should definitely get blueberries."
What a bar
17:42 nahh that Rocket was filthy with the evasion
Holyshit he cracked
Bro could not kill him😂
"That damn raccoon!"
honestly your "rants" have helped me a lot. i've only played 50 games of comp due to work, but i'm really close to gm. hoping to hit it by the end of this season
Only 50? Man you're near GM good shit
Please do more of these advanced tips, maybe more useful knowledge for gm and above
Working on one soon! Im just trying to get stuff out there for the general population for now
@@Coach_Shottybro the playing less would’ve helped me so much through my climb especially in low gold when i was going up and down, currently plat 1 ish and honestly yesterday i played all day and ended up going to plat 2. this makes so much sense and is gonna help lots on my way to diamond lol
2:30 for a visual representation of taking space, watch a single comp splatoon game. Thats what he described
real
Good video and I really like the Yap session format. It's easy to listen to in the car or while you're doing the dishes.
See this comment captures the entire essence of why I made them in the first place. I’m glad you enjoyed!
lol the venom fact you spilled was so true. I main Venom, and a lot of games I win with a solid team, the enemy team says stuff like “venom carried” or “venom holy fuck you focused our healers all game sheesh” But you’re right, when your random team doesn’t know how to play off of your plays, it’s hard to win fights or matches
I really appreciate content creators like you, sincerely. People who really want others to improve and dive into all the details in an easily digestible way instead of repeating the same basic concepts w/o explaining it are dope. Hope you grow to a prominent creator in this community. Respect 🔥
As a gold mantis main, I have to constantly remind myself that just because I am a healer and I should be playing at the backline instead of fighting on the frontline because I think that because of my damage boost I can be a frontline.
I don't know many times I have told myself "go back not your job"😂 but I've just picked up a week ago and trying to improve, I know it's my aiming that needs work but overall I just feel like I'm not doing the job properly.
Wow this is so informative. I learned something for each rank. I have been floating MASSIVELY. Went from silver 1, to plat 2, then switched up my main from Wolverine to psylock because I felt like I was plateauing and I wanted to have more impact on the games. Dropped down to gold 3, and now I’ve climbed back up to gold 1.
But, I haven’t had any real structure, and I have absolutely rage queued, queued when I’m tired/not focused, queued when I’m tilted, and also blamed everyone but myself.
This is my first video on your channel and you adressed all of this. Ty so much. Earned a sub and a like, will be tuning in more often.
Massive?
@ I’m not THAT massive but , a total of 7 ranks isn’t small either. The game is totally different in silver II compared to plat II
@@estebanslavidastic4382 wolverine is so bad in the lower ranks, if everyone is out of position a character that puts the enemy o
ut of position wont work
@ exactly. No one can capitalize on his plays, or even knows how. Wolverine doesn’t start actually regularly contributing value until like, diamond and up imo.
I just found that the value I got on him was so INCONSISTENT.
Some games I would go 30-1, or 37-3, with top(or close to top) damage, and I felt like an immortal powerhouse that was an absolute nightmare for their tanks. To the point where their tanks would actively play around me and get terrified when they see me.
Then other games, I would be playing the EXACT same way, and would feel like I would just fall over. Get no value, and even if I snatched a tank and went in on them, they would just pop a cd, and get healed and they were fine.
why not just play psylocke isn’t she broken
calling the 25:00 on the dot is the craziest thing i've seen all year
Bro that was insane
17:00 i was lost here for an entire minute watching Rocket survive you 🤣
TELL ME ABOUT IT THAT MF HAD THE SHMOOVES
That's what I do to as a rocket main, we use those walls and hight differences to outrun ANYTHING. (I've played a bunch of DBD so it's like you're looping the killer hahaha)
This channel is becoming my go to for this game.
This is probably the best advice I've heard for a game like this I will admit, that many times I get caught up in the heat of the moment as a healer and don't look behind me and that results in me forgetting to heal someone, honestly they need to make the I need healing sound it's own thing so that it stands out more in the audio crunch of the game, there's so mamy audio cues I'm glistening for that i don't often pay attention at the garbled ping that current healing gives. At the same time, better situational awareness does help out in this regard, especially playing healers that don't always have to look straight to even heal
Coffee + yap session let’s goooo
Yessir! I’m gonna need some coffee to survive today because I barely slept working on this but I’m so excited to put it out
came for the content, left with a life lesson about chasing difficulty and pushing yourself did NOT expect that honestly great analysis and video, subscribed.
Your logic of hardcore one tricking before learning another role is fair but i think you should do that in quickplay if your goal is only to learn the hero in and out. Dont take that attitude to rank.
I understand where youre coming from but quick play is HORRIBLE practice most times so unfortunately its a necessary evil
@@Coach_Shotty I hard disagree with the one trick but I also come from valorant as a high rank player so Im probably not your average person picking up the game. But your completely right that quick play is not adequate practice.
I’d rather have someone be really good in a role rather than flex to a role that they are so atrocious in that it’s literally worse which is in more cases than you imagine cause people who flex in lower ranks have the mindset of “oh it’s just a healer all I have to do is left click” or “oh it’s just a tank all I have to do is push” etc. rather someone understand their role and positioning for their respective role in the team, once someone is good with their respective hero it becomes much easier to learn other hero’s because instead of learning abilities you are learning how to counter which is much more important
My dude says he played FPS games for 16 years yet couldn't think of Splatoon to save his life
Thank you bro the community need this video
I am very impressed with this video because you kept throwing out specific scenarios that I have been in many times where I am genuinely confused on how we are losing. Thank you for explaining some solutions. Great video 👍
This felt like therapy
One thing better explained regarding pushing, is that pushing doesn’t have to be agressive in the sense you win the fight but distracting the enemy.
There was a game that I was being annoying with C&D to the point 3 people chased me down when I got behind them. They really chased me down and I distracted them for a good 20-30 seconds. Which is pretty huge help for teammates as the run the payload or defend it.
Listening to this video was like listening to myself talk about all of my passions and obscure knowledge of pedagogy and very specific sciences lmao. Needless to say I enjoyed it, thank you for the reminders on some points and thank you for the new information on others.
As a peak gold 3 in 5 days of playing this as my first shooter ever, not being a one trick really helped. Game sense is what's vital, communicating w/ ur team using pings and chat when u die or before the game is vital. Mechanical skill will come with time, which helps with all characters. I have a main, dagger, but if someone else q's dagger, I have 3-4 other options.
Terrible advice id rather have 6 "mid" people going 2/2/2. Then 6 good dps.
Learn the roles Main something in each of them its not that Hard. A game like this just gives you way too many disadvantages if you dont have every role. Maybe its diffrent for Mr. Grandmaster over here playing in silver or bronze but for us playing in Gold if you go 6 dps you Auto loose. Rock paper scissors anyone?
im pretty sure i specified as long as you have a healer, but if i didnt my bad i must have forgotten or edited it out
@@Coach_Shotty You did say at least 1 support and mentioned Jeff is easy holding left click and dropping bubbles.
That rocket got that 9999 evasion 😂
Bro just explained splatoon at the beginning using it as an analogy
After years of just listening to COD UA-camrs, I’ve realized there’s a massive gap in intelligence. You just gave me something that I don’t see anymore from other channels-tips I haven’t heard before, and they actually make sense! That’s extremely rare. Thank you."
Honestly taking the two tips from your videos have helped me a lot. First to stop when I hit a lose streak. I'll play until I hit 2 loses in a row then I get off or switch to quickplay. Sometime that means I play 2 matches other times I play twenty. If I still want to play, if say I lost 2 right off, I'll just hop on quickplay to practice characters that Im not as good with. I've also been focusing on one character. I actually got this tip from someone else awhile back for OW but its really solid. Once you get good with a character and you know the positioning and their moves become muscle memory you can play them really well and you learn so much more playing at a higher skill. Your game skill just kind of starts to snow ball once your not just fighting to remember the moves on a character.
20:09 na the losers que is real. Didn’t even realize this was a thing until like a week ago 😢
I got into a match . While seeing teammates chose characters I got an uneasy feeling. A teammate on the team messaged saying "bot lobby" . I believe in loosers queue
Dude...truly grateful for the content in your videos. I've only just started watching your stuff and it has been IMMEDIATELY helpful - keep up the great work! I especially appreciate your honesty about the mentality of playing this game...the insight is spot on and great lessons for playing anything really.
14:00 Okay so it would be good to have people who are good at their job then bad. But what about when 6 people who are good at dps load into a team?
That is very rare, but there are supports that dps players could play. When I play support I play mantis or adam warlock
jeff is a thing😂
The fact you said “25 minutes into the video” as the 25 minute mark hit. Applause
“I’m getting old, I’m 23.”
Me trying to improve at this game at 30.
😮
Lol man I feel like I was 18 last year time is flying
Bro that Rocket was RUNNING 😭
I still don’t get the alt account thing. Just play quick play for practice. Like…. Stop trying to flex by saying I made it to gm and then made an alt to practice. It just makes you look like a worried nerd bully. Other than that great advice
Quick play is horrible for practice unless you’re just trying to get basic abilities down. Maybe if you’re in gold and practicing but if you’re trying to get a new character to be decent in diamond + you need a more comp environment
@@wesleyshum8913 the amount of 22 year old men banging there head against the wall not knowing what they are doing and flaming their teammates when they die half as much as they kill is worse in comp. These ass hats jump right in competitive cause they think they are HIM and then blame the tanks and heals. If you only have 2 hours to play at the end of the night, don’t waste my time by queuing competitive after you just got off work and are already drained from the day. Or worse, drunk. My teams are consistently better in quick play. Seems like a cope cause you platoed and don’t want to rng lose your rank with bad teammate. Ban the smurfs.
@ then why are quick play players better than most the gold and platinum players I get cued with? The amount of 20 something young men with no game sense who cue up competitive drained after work, drunk, smoked out, ready to flame their team is staggering in competitive. 3-4 times my teams are at least decent in quick play. And if you are learning and already good enough to GM then alt accounting is still a scared cope and ultimately unsportsmanlike. Ban smurfs.
@ QP is a different environment….with vastly different ranks, and people are there more-so to have fun. It’s easier to operate.
Exactly this. This video started going downhill for me as soon as he started talking about using alts to practice. I understand from the perspective of just pushing your rank up on your main account but you increase way faster than you decrease anyway in this game and it's just toxic as hell for low ranks. On top of that your rewards end of season are based on your top rank, not your end of season rank. His tips at the start were good but it's clear this guy is a dps main and only knows the game from that perspective
I wish more people had the mindset of “What could I have done better?” rather than just blaming teammates, and not reflecting on what they could’ve done differently. Even if I know I did the best I could’ve done and my team was not up to par, the question never changes, “what could I have done better?”
a tip i learned as a cloak and dagger main (diamond 2) is if the healers die you win the fight. tanks gotta learn to peel and not let characters just run through and dive. dps gotta stop damage farming on the tank and actually shoot their supports. also for supports if you're a backline healers play in the back for christ sake. why are you in the middle of the fight we need you alive
It depends like he mentioned in this video, playing front to back is a viable option. It just all depends on the situation.
if you're scared to lose your rank so you make alts to stomp lobbies, then you aren't the rank you think you are. if you just played your higher rank lobbies you'll get better faster by playing better people. crushing gold lobbies just makes players want to stop playing ranked because they are getting mashed.
Playing ranked with 0 psychological pressure about keeping your rank is a significantly better learning environment than queueing and being stressed out the whole time.
@offeringsoffire its true its a better learning environment but its messed up that your potenially risking your fellow tm8s rank by doing this.
Ur not the same rank on every hero tho
I have a pretty good C&D but ask me to play other characters I’m absolutely dog wash n not carrying anything so
I don’t think it applies
love this series, so many other "ultimate guides" provide barebones information, misinformation/bad tips/habits, etc. For this theres plenty of useful information I don't know, and even if I did its at least coming from someone knowledgeable enough that I feel validated
They are not healers, they are strategists and yes they get plenty of flack from people that want them to just heal bot.
Get a buddy to play mantis. She can BOTH strategize AND be a heal bot. Everyone wins. Even flanks and iron man can get heals with her.
Yeah I wish they would utilize that they are not healers and are strategists. I would like more characters that arnt healers in strategist. They are there to make the team feel stronger or make enemy team feel weaker.
Storm being the best example. I feel like if it wasn’t for the strategist have to have a heal. Storm would be perfect example of a non healer strategist.
My group has recently been playing quick play with no healers to improve all of our individual skills and survivability. It's also super satisfying to beat a team without healing
FIRST WHEN ARE WE GONNA PLAY COMP AGAIN SHOTTY I MISS THE BOYS!!!!!!!!!
also as a luna snow 1 trick i get all the flak because 25k healing isnt enough per game...
I slept for 3 hours :(
OMG SHOUTOUT TO VIC?!?!?!
Just found this channel and im REALLY enjoying it. Especially while playing rivals. You’ve earned a new sub
"healer get respected and you should try to talk if you are healer"
yeah, about that. we dont
this guy is keeping it real. i’ve been top 500 in multiple games and he’s correct about everything
Who’s gonna tell him marvel rivals isn’t an FPS game? Lmao
Damn that’s a good point
Really enjoyed this as a player who is new to playing games like marvel rivals and is struggling to get started. Thank you
"Smurfing is cool guys, it helps you practice without losing your rank!" My guy has never heard of casual play or practice range. Ruining lower tier rank games with zero remorse deserves a dislike and not subscribing to your shit.
But he worked really hard for 6 days to get that shiny rank. Can't lose it now by playing the game for more than an hour after taking a cold shower and doing eye exercises.🤣
I don’t think you understood what he meant… he wasn’t saying to Smurf. He mentioned that as tank he’s at best silver, so it’s okay to play lower ranks. If you’re grandmaster at dps that doesn’t mean that applies to other roles cause you can be a bronze tank. The alt account can help you just understand other roles better on a comp level while actually being in that rank for that specific role.
This is actually really good advice. I am an eternity support player and was pleasantly surprised at how accurate and in depth this advice was. Really well done.
dude i dont remember the last time i subbed to channel. Seriously though this vid was incredible. Thank you
I feel like this is a good summary of all the information ive learned and sifted through for OW the past 2 years.
Lmao, it’s so jokes how bro was doing promo at the end of the match 27:48 😂💀
About pushing, i think that by far the best character to push is cloak and dagger, her ult is like a red carpet your team sees and just walk there, it's like a passive ability the character has and no one knows about it lol. Luna and mantis also have massive ults BUT if youre under plat/diamond your teammates will prolly just stay in the range and not push
that rocket was not fucking dying holyyyyy
Best explanation for training from any video I've seen over the past decade lol. What makes it even better is that you put the same level of research into it as other people put into researching exercises.
this video is actually one of the most impressive videos ive ever seen on youtube in the aspect of information given. phenomenal shotty!
The sleep thing is so real. My strat in school was just study right before bed and get a good night of sleep and then I'd magically know the content when I woke up. Worst test I ever took was off an all nighter
This guy is the most intelligent gamer I’ve ever encountered
You know, speaking of ego, now imagine you are 40 years old. You've been a hardcore gamer for the last 30 years and suddenly someone half your age starts telling you how you can't actually play at all. Guess what. He's absolutely right :D. You sir, you are a treasure. Your advices has really helped. Thank you.
Tysm shotty I really enjoy listening to this while im working or just sitting in my bed watching gameplay. I find it really helpful and interesting tysmmm
In regards to the dps standing behind healer and not getting heals, if my two tanks are on critical and I'm spam healing them, go find a health pack lol
this has to be the most informational and helpful video i’ve watched for any game in a long time. Subscription and like well deserved 👏🏼
Reading some of these comments feels like people didn’t actually watch the video. Anyway thanks Shotty, a lot of good advice here. I appreciate how you give constructive criticism without talking down to your viewers.
Best part in my struggles to make it out of the lower ranks are the auto lock DPS that try and dictate the team comp and tell you who and how to play. My friend and I mainly tank and support because no one else will and they're telling us how we're playing wrong when we can out damage them.......gotta love it
I think for climbing rank, its key to learn 2 heroes of each role. That way if someone else locks in one of the heroes you know well, you have a backup. It opens up the possibilities to pivot should you need to. And as far as comp, I am an AMAZING healer, but even getting 40k heals in a ranked match doesnt matter if I am the only healer. Usually you need at least 2. That way if one dies, you have another out there topping everyone up. Sometimes 3 healers works, assuming the enemy team is bad at backlining the healers.
Awesome vid the tips particularly on spacing and making sure I'm playing my role helped a whole lot in me finally getting out of silver 1/gold 3!
Although, the "one-tricking" I think is what was actually holding me back, as soon as I switched to my other main after I was on a losing streak I went on a winning streak immediately after. I think it's bc in lower ranks at least you're more likely to lose if you have good healers avg dps/tanks vs avg healers good dps/tanks
Huge thanks again
Can’t cap u helped me out gang💯
From a healer, to iron man mains;
i love yall cause you make life easy, but just a wee little tip. If you stay a little bit in front of us, it’s easier to glance up and see your health status. If you want healing, ping it and we’ll prolly focus you. y’all tend to be hard to locate on some maps visually, and just a little bit of changing your position and communicating with the visual pings will help you get more heals.
(as long as your healer is actually healing)
Would love the practice range routines. I would specifically like a way to practice tracking and focusing head shots from the in game practice range because i don’t really want to pull up kovaks or aimlabs
Wow dude you got me so motivated to do everything you talked about! That is the fitness guy in you shining through. Amazing video! I subscribed xoxo keep up the good work
I've only watched half this video and im already identifying lots of issues my team is having as well as where I'm making mistakes as a tank main.
Not to be a sap, but I appreciate the hard truth you're giving us. Ill be running this through the team so we adjust better to fit our fights.
i absolutely need this not done yet but im gonna keep watching this and your stuff cause i honestly don't know how to get better or get out of my rank thanks for the effort you put into this
As Support, my biggest issue is my team ignoring call-outs. When I mark an enemy in the back lane, or specifically request in chat to focus on a hero to kill..nobody listens. Usually it's Spider-Man, Black Panther, and sometimes Capt. America. They just ignore the healers plight to be saved and then we crash and burn in the match. Drives me crazy.
This was a great vid bro, I love the comparison between brain training and physical training. I will definitely check out those eye and finder training links. I work a desk job and play games at night. I get terrible eye fatigue.
This was a really good episode, honestly I'm at a point in my life were I have kind of stopped trying to improve at video games. This video gave me some good motivation to keep pushing! Also finding this video at the same time I'm supposed to find ways to exercise my wrist XD
23:11 :O
Great vid, you always say put this on as background noise but then I couldn’t focus on what your trying to teach.
I've been thinking about looking into getting a coach for marvel. I've always been low rank like my max is gold 2 which is what I'm at now. This video and the aim training one came in at the perfect time. Plus it makes sense to me. I love it.
At 25:00 you said "This is probably only gonna be 25 minutes into the video". I appreciate this lmao
This man is truly amazing, I came here expecting some simple tips to kill more ppl in rivals but now I am a wise man enriched with wisdom. Dude I honestly love your way of scientifically improving in games and explaining it flawlessly in such a way even my smooth brain can understand. Keep up the work man, I think your tips can actually help me outside of the game.
I would say that flexing early on is okay, because it helps you understand the pain of your teammates. After playing some rounds as a strategist, I understood what I had to do as a Vanguard to ensure that they stay alive, which is harrass the duelist or vanguard who is trying to dive. Yes they may come back, but if they realize that they can't just dive willynilly, it gives my team more breathing room, and more time to push.
I main support. I heal a lot. I heal everyone. One thing I cannot do many times in matches is look away from the frontline, because if I do they will die in half a second. I am always trying to find that Iron Man in the sky or the Magick in hallway behind enemy lines. But the frontline is constantly taking damage, and more often than not is constantly on the brink of death. So give us some slack in that regard. Sure, there are a ton of healers out there with absolutely 0 awareness of where their team is, but also consider that without our frontline we don't win. Go for the health packs, DPS mains!!
I took a similar approach in my climb, I'm usually the last to pick, so 9 times out of 10, I ended up becoming very comfortable with strategist. I might not make it to GM, yet alone diamond but I wanted to get good on a character that wasn't going to be banned like Luna if I did make it so I went down the line and mained someone in the middle ground. Took to Cloak and Dagger and started a steady climb up to Plat.
In between the climb, I'd take a break between major brackets (Silver to gold) and go for a walk, hit the gym or do anything away from the pc to the point where it was only taking me something like 3-4 games to break out of the lower ranks. Same thing with the losses, 3 in a row and I'd come back the next day. Right now I'm sitting in plat because hey, I got the moonnight skin (my main goal for playing ranked) and I'm learning other characters and role basics in QP.
I'll still use Cloak as my main character, but now I have at least 3 other characters in each role so I won't be a fish out of water if we need a tank or dps, or I run into another cloak one trick.
That’s why I stuck to mastering psy straight from the get go, considering she’s a 5 star difficulty she’s really easy for me now. Reached Grandmaster 1 with her and now I’m currently trying to master Magik. I’ve gotten her combos down but definitely still need work.
The is the most information I've gotten that is actually relatable to the game... subbed.
