'"But Awkward, your healing is low." Who cares? Your healing is high and you lose games, my healing is low and I win all the games.' XD w quote.
Very few people say anything about the heals. Its pretty widely understood bap is more damage sided lol
@@xykane until your team starts losing and suddenly people screaming heal diff😂
@@Kaizerlaser block and move on. I never like whiny babies and healing dead weight
@@Kaizerlaser usually it’s the dps with insecurity problems that starts complaining the minute bap has more kills than them never the tank or supp
@@Kaizerlaser the worst part about the scoreboard, non-support players complaining
Awkward proving yet again that the real healing is the friends we make along the way.
No the real healing is damage, c'mon pay attention.
If you focus on damage, even if you win your games, I doubt you will make friends along the way...
@@CNV71 the real friends are the damage you dealt along the way.
Arsenal bottling the league 🤣🤣
The bans he got along the way
What I got from this:
Baptiste is a full time damage dealer and a part time healer. He specializes in shooting from places his team isn't, getting in/out using his vertical mobility, healing teammates on the weekends or when it's convenient, and making his team incredibly difficult to kill without jumping through the hoops he can setup.
Now, if only I could hit my shots....
Felt
i know been trying to play Bap and it makes you realize how good Awkwards aim is...
Reall
And don't forget you can 1v1 just about any character in the game and win since Bap effectively has 3 health bars with his cooldowns lol. Even against the beefier tanks you can just jump away and cheese them like it's a boss battle in some single player game. And as long as you have lamp you should be able to win any DPS or dive tank 1v1 as long as you can hit some of your shots. I think Bap is lowkey broken and Idk why more people don't play him, he's insane.
@@jamesburnett3594Is due to people not knowing how to play the game in general, so they rely on cheesing the game with Cheap Heroes like, Moira, Junkrat, Sym, Mei, Zarya, Reaper, and others like them.
Hit GM3 support today with mainly Baptiste thanks to you Awkward. No comms, no OW1 experience, just damage damage damage, off angles, they push forward I push back, they push back I push forward, and cover at all times. You guys can do it to, quit listening to your bronze teammates and listen to Awkward.
My bronze teammates are so confident though
I would say the only times you should listen to teammates, if they are not toxic.
as soon as it gets toxic, mute/go out of vc.
it will only bring down your mentality, even if you don't think so.
@@ystar13 He who lies to himself, and believes his own lies, is unable to see the truth.
@@DatAsianGuynever listen to your teammates
@@DjNaste I think that's ultimately a stupid suggestion. I had some amazing games were the team communicated and called out the stuff they were doing or wanted to do. so you could coordinate better.
I did the math (no pun intended). From Unranked to GM:
443 Eliminations. 159,755 Damage Damage Damage. 49 Deaths.
Dude is crazy
It is insane. Dude is also Rank # player rolling all over Plats and Diamonds. He's a great coach and his tips are legit. It's nice to have someone explain the logic behind what he's doing and why. But yeah, LeBron could dunk all over 5th graders too.
@@Maxavian yeah but LeBron also dunks on NBA players too, your point? I don't have amazing aim but awkward helped me get to diamond just using his simple tips
@@sith6375 Sure he does. But LeBron also loses games and is not going at an 80% winrate clip, and NBA players dunk on him too. My point is context. What's amazing is Awkward's game stats against those in his tier. Not so amazing (or surprising) are his stats against. And yes, as I clearly stated, his coaching is great and his tips are super legit. I'm sure they'll help tons of people raise their tiers by a few.
@@Maxavian yeah i went from silver to diamond, still improving. happy i am not stuck and clearly see what mistakes i make and learning from them
@@Maxavian I would watch LeBron dunk on all the 5th graders and enjoy it, the stats against them is just a fun fact on top of the carnage.
I love how in the beginning he’s talking to us about what to do, then when things get serious in masters he starts talking to himself saying the same things. Good stuff right here.
one thing i really dislike is how hes ignoring logical donos xd
1:07:31 idk why but this moment was so funny to me. "You know what he wants to fight, i'll fight" **uses ult and blazes down soldier**
And then he does the same thing again a minute later LMFAO
Just saw this lmao
@@warsmith1294against a soldier with visor and kiriko pocket and kills them both 💀💀💀
When I play baptiste and people come to try and kill me and I window and demolish them.
“Solo ult really?”
Well yes, my ult is for killing people and you kindly volunteered.
@@InceyWinceywhy is solo ulting even considered bad? Like sure, you can get several people but sometimes it’s better to just instantly remove someone from the fight to get advantage
“I’ll just play like I don’t have teammates. That way I can’t be disappointed” best quote ever
For people wondering what he means here: 2:13
"The great thing about Baptiste is that he can also heal, while doing damage."
He's not being silly, he's talking about Baptiste's unique rhythm between his primary (3 round burst) and secondary (heal grenade) fire. The cooldown on the nade is long enough that you can squeeze one burst (more healing) or two bursts (more damage) between shots. The best pattern is and always will be two bursts. This isn't a debate, it's just the best way to play him!
So if you're feeling like you're having to healbot 'because my team is taking so much damage': that is a SKILL ISSUE, because if all you're doing is firing nades, you're choosing to be lazy and not using him to his full potential!
If you're playing Baptiste and not shooting at something whenever you can (DAMAGE), *you are playing him wrong*
Awkward, you're amazing
You can also apply that playstyle to kiriko aswell
@@seaniboy100 True! Although it's worth noting the window is much smaller than Bap's, and Kiriko's damage is far less reliable, so you'd probably want to prioritize healing a little bit more with her because her ultimate is easily the best part of her kit.
But you can definitely fit one kunai between each reload of your healing talismans without slowing the heal rate down at all. Though, this doesn't stop her from being an excellent flank supp (flank enemy, suzu/tp out when they turn to fight you). Her flanking power is where you'll get most of your surprise picks and damage farm from.
The best pattern for dmg is shoot, shoot, heal. The best for healing is Shoot, heal, shoot, heal. The latter isn't as efficient since there's like a half second of down time, but it's easier to arrange your aim for the heal instead of relying solely on flicking your grenades
Teaching diff. No one except for Awk has the ability to perform at such a high level, while explaning every single thing he's gonna do before during and after execution in such a way that anyone could do it. Rank #1 teacher.
It's insane how he can so casually dominate games at every level whilst constantly commentating what he's doing, what he's planning, etc
Mindblowing shit
this is why i say hes one of the few people to do a real educational unranked to gm. Other people u can tell they are bored or want to ego flex. But I legit learned from his past unranked to gms and now I'm applying it to other characters naturally.
@@Peraliq metro can have bad moments i think he also is good
😂you could describe his teachings in a children's book. It's 3 things, on any character he plays!
Tbh he frontline alot, which is kinda bad. It works because he actually hits his shots lol, but in the ideal world he gets punished. Still nice to watch.
@@MrZeraxdkHe bscly always has cover to hide behind, and Baptiste can keep himself alive with his shift and immortality field. That’s why he’s not getting punished.
The crazy thing is that in another universe there is an awkward that says "healing, healing, healing"

Goated that junkertown game was nuts
Wow no repeated maps is insane
@@Dankflamio fr really goes to show how much a single support can carry just by good positioning and dmg
Stg his natural gameplay is a guide for each map on whatever character he's playing as
you didnt say this in this video but, "It's simple, but not easy," is something that really helped me build confidence. I am new to ow altogether, so I just want to play the game right, the mechanics will come over time, even if I am somewhat casual. thanks!
That's what people need to understand about videos like these. They see him go 40-0 and waffle stomp a team and think "All I have to do is do what he did". Umm no. It's not as "easy" as that. You have to be as GOOD as he is. It's like people lose sight of the fact he's a Rank# player playing against Plats and Diamonds. He's basically a 6'7" man dunking on 5th graders. That's not most of us. Yes, his coaching and tips are spot on, but we have to remember that those tips will raise OUR ceiling, and some of us only have Plat or Diamond ceiling. It will help some go from Bronze to Plat. Others from Gold to Masters, some from Silver to GM, but we all won't have Rank #1 ceiling.
@Maxavian I agree, but at the same time everyone can in theory become top 500 player if they put in the work. it's just a lot of ppl (including me) don't have time/don't want to put that much work into a game.
some ppl are just naturally better though and have Godlike aim without even trying so they don't have to put as much effort for it
@@spice5841 You must know different people than I do. I have friends who could play 16 hours a day 7 days a week and not even crack Plat lol. I'm at the age, that even with all the work, I've most likely hit a ceiling with my mechanical skill. But I still love that Awkward's tips can help a lot of people push past their ceiling. He's one of the few OW UA-camrs whose tips can be applied by everyone at every level. Most of the "coaches" are like "don't suck, just do what I do and be good".
This is something that A10 explains in his videos. If you make the correct decisions but aren't able to perform that decision mechanically, it was still the right decision. You keep hammering those correct decisions and the mechanics will eventually come
@@Maxavian It's roflstomp. Not waffle stomp. LOL. Thank you for the laugh xD
Went from hardstuck Diamond for 10+ seasons to GM1 Support in a couple months thanks to you. I always appreciate when you do one of these as I'm still learning and trying to improve. Specially coming from a healbot mentality these videos were a god send! Thanks a lot Awkward!
I watched the first 10 minutes of this video, qued ranked, played bap, got called out for low heals, didn't care, won the match.
By adjusting my playstyle to his, got me from high gold-low plat to high masters-low GM. It was my dream since 2018 when I first started to become GM. Thank you for creating content like this!
For anyone wondering 17:06 Cass always shoots right to left, so the lamp always wouldve been destroyed first. You would ironically want to throw the lamp to YOUR right and the exact opposite would happen where the lamp is destroyed last @Awkward
i thought lamp was destroyed cuz of symmetra
@@shweps8888yeah deadeye still locked on sym but the bullet hit the lamp first which caused it to get destroyed. And as he said, Cass shoots right to left thus, Lamp dies then Bap dies
That's absolutely insane I never considered standing to the left of the lamp like that, thanks.
His right or your right?
@@InceyWinceyhis right
I seriously love this guy lol. “anyways…back to the damage”
Thank you so much for uploading a bap video, I can’t wait to watch it. It’s annoying that you are so good because now I only have 3 hours of gameplay to watch instead of the normal 11 😢
Honestly true. Big L for Awk on this one. Do worse my guy 🤔

I used to think bap was boring because… newsflash. I was just in the backline pumping out heals and occasionally shooting. Now he’s become much more fun after learning your tips!
Agreed. I play ana a lot, and it's way more fun doing damage and you also have more flexibility in helping your team out as well.

Really like your play style! I enjoyed overwatch more because of you. Thank you!
I thought this was 300 usd for s sec lmao
@@Prplex.It's like 10 bucks lol
I changed my playstyle to follow what awkward does. I was gold in OW1, and steadily climbed to plat. When OW2 came out, and so did awkward's unranked to GM came out, I binged it and studied every little thing he did and adjusted my playstyle accordingly. Now, I am GM 4 support, playing mainly flex supports (Ana, bap, zen, kiri). Thank you awkward, you are godsent to the OW community.
@@strongermind909 Flex support means: Ana, Kiriko, Moira, Baptiste, Zenyatta
@@strongermind909 lol imagine saying this while being literally wrong, you're confusing main support and flex support with main heal and off heal: ana and bap are *flex supports* (meaning their healing is non-automatic and requires aim) and *main heals* (meaning they are typically responsible for the bulk of healing output for a team because of their ability to pump out an insane volume of heals), if you're gonna be toxic at least be correct LMAO
@@strongermind909 you just outed yourself as an idiot LOL
CONGRATZ BRO
@@matrixyst zen healing requires aim? it pretty much has the same mechanics as mercy beam. Anyways I search up flex support and main support and they literally have the same definition as main/off heals
I love how the guy who complained "bap can u dps more little dick" is the pharah that's constantly out of position and getting killed by Awkward
Literally the first 5 minutes of this video is exactly how a friend of mine plays Bap lmao and he carries me...every...single...time..........
now maybe you can carry your friend sometimes
@@amaziiin he's a one trick bap, i play dps. Im plat rn, but this is my first overwatch, i didnt play the first one. He did however
based
I watch all of your UR2GMs for supports, but as a Brig main, I would really love to see a new Brig one for OW2 (I've seen the old one from OW1). I would really be interested to see how you would approach the challenge on Brig.
Yeah, I'd like to see this too. (I'm also a Brig main currently in Diamond.)
I’m pretty sure In his past videos I haven’t seen him play brig but hopefully it works. Idk tbh.
Unfortunately he's gonna do Lifeweaver next cus his old Brig video has already cover everything he can teach about Brig
@@therebelfrogy9287 I guess he can't really go hard on damage with Brig either.
@@therebelfrogy9287 Well, I don't know if that is true. There are definitely some nuances to playing Brig in OW2 that are different than OW1 (currently Masters Brig Main here). If he does it, great, I'll tune in. If not, no big deal.
For those who have trouble aiming. There is a custom match you can join. That has the AI do nothing but strafing or using their movement abilities. It really helps to practice and for a good warm up so you can get locked in quicker.
Code?
@@RealLifeLucaVAXTA is one I use. Might be what he's talking about
"You're not a loser if you're silver, you're a loser if you're silver and you blame your team"
Phenomenal explaining! I love that you're trying to hammer down in everyones head to stop heal botting and start to do more damage because that's the main difference in strategy that makes you climb as a support.
poor Yamato, didnt like the DAMAGE
This is insanely helpful, thank you so much. I realized I was focusing too much on healing and this has totally changed the way I view Bap. He IS the third DPS.
I don't play comp that often due to compxiety. But after learning to damage all the time and not healbot. I was able to go from silver 2 to plat 5 in a couple of hours. I mainly play quickplay but I feel if I tried I could be better. Thanks Awkward! been a fan for a while now.
I'm bronze support and I think this video will really help me climb. Now that I think about it, it makes complete sense why damage should be main priority. More damage=more pressure which can lead to the enemy retreating/panicking/prioritizing you which helps save your teammates so you don't need to heal as often as you think you would need to. I'm definitely gonna try this out when I play Bap!
Edit: I'd also like to add it's hilarious he's antagonizing the enemy team. Getting in their heads is half the battle. If they're mad, they're gonna make more mistakes, play too greedy trying to get kills, or overextend trying to chase you to get revenge.
that 46 elim game was absolutely insane at the end. He wiped the whole team nearly singlehandedly MULTIPLE times without dying once.
The comment that helped me understand what when they move forward I move back was “when they move forward around that corner, I’m already at this corner”
The corner statement helped me realize when the right time to move was
Me: I'm a healer , I'm gonna stay next to my teammates
Awkward: Damage.
This man graduated from DAMAGE UNIVERSITY
Bap is so crazy dawg, i went from Gold 5 to GM 4 when i finally decided to try Support in Ranked lol
Congrats
How long did it take you to climb?

Thanks Awkward. I went from a silver player who had less than 1 year of MnK experience to Plat tank, dps, and diamond 3 support because of your videos. Still have a lot to work on, but you sped up my learning process exponentially. You’ve also made the game so much more enjoyable for me now that I don’t worry about my team and focus on what I’m doing and what I can improve on.
You are one of the only people who’s unranked to gm actually teaches how to play. Most other videos are just gms smurfing and getting mad at teammates. Went from the plat to masters cause of your videos
Samito stray
@@blikfn wrong dude, he literally says what he’s s doing as he plays

God I know you're a rank 1 support, but it just never ceases to amaze me watching you put on such a clinic. It's such beautiful Bap gameplay and it's inspiring. I'm Masters 2 and hoping that using this will help me break into GM!
Love the blunt honesty when responding to comments😂 rare to see people actually speak their mind without catering to others feelings
13:51 Ana and rein apologizing at the same time for not keeping bastion alive was really funny to me
I truly truly enjoy every unrank to GM content you create. whilst i'm not playing competitive, the quality of my unrank/QP games have improved significantly. Not only as a support, but every piece of advice you gave has helped in EVERY role i play - tank, dps, characters that i didn't used to play - you name it. It has allowed me to put myself in a positions to proactively look for damage opportunities WHILE staying next to cover, keeping myself safe. I've also not only been able to acknowledge whenever i mess up, but i realise my mistakes much SOONER. this has allowed me to correct my mistakes earlier, and survive longer. i am now able to make plays (off angles etc.) i never thought was possible before, and that has contributed greatly in my games. thanks Awkward, you've made me enjoy OW again :)
This guy knows his stuff ngl, I went from like Bronze 3 to Gold 1 from last season just by listening to his tips.
Thanks for the great Unranked to GM videos you don’t sugercoat anything and get straight to the advice. I was hardstuck diamond 2 as baptiste but after watching some of your videos and practicing aim and mechanics I was able to climb to GM5 this season
The reason it went so fast this time, is because in this season they give you a rank similar to your mmr instead of just getting you closer to that rank in every 'placement'
So if you play good against masters it’s just gonna place u higher?
@@bbpoItergeist yes thats how i thought it shouldve worked.
I've heard a lot of people online say that awkward's playstyle is carried by his mechanics. People don't realize the pressure created just by shooting at someone even if you don't hit. Creating off angles and pressure by itself can carry games at low elos. positioning alone can carry games at low elos. Yeah he has great mechanics, but anyone can have great mechanics with time and practice. Its showing that with effort you can climb. Some people believe its actually impossible to climb because of teammates but fail to realize the impact you can have towards victories with small wins through out your matches.
You miss 100% of shots you don't take!
@@HigakiRinne I miss around 80% of the shots I take 😂
I don't think gm is possible without good aim,but I reached high diamond last season even with my bad aim and I am trying to improve it with the rest of my playstyle.
You need aim to do what he does and be effective. You can be as aggressive as your mechanics allow you to do. If Awkward missed half of his shots he would die many many times. But he doesn't so it works well.
It's like with Pine from Overwatch League season 1 - he could go get 4k behind enemy backline because he landed nasty headshots. If he missed anything in his famous Junkertown clip he would feed and die.
Anyone can do what Awkward does but only to the extent of their mechanics. He takes lots of 1v1 and sometimes even 1v2 because in the short period of time that he is safe thanks to his self-heal, he kills the enemy. If you waste that time because you miss shots, you die
eh yes and no. if you're shooting from an off angle and not killing anything its not actually accomplishing all that much. if youre going on flanks and losing 1v1s youre not helping your team. Awkward clearly has an extremely high level understanding of the game but his aim is literally mental...if i played this game for 25years i wouldnt reach anywhere close. alot of what he does SEEMS like a good play bc he walked away with the kill but had he missed a single shot and died it would have been a bad play. so on one hand you can say hes aware of his limitations and what he can get away with, but many many many things he does simply are unfathomable for 99.9% of the playerbase no matter how much they play. his aim and mechanics is mindboggling
@@ZSonnenblick off angling isn't just going on flanks and taking 1v1s. Off angling, proper cover usage, positioning and having around average to slightly below average aim is enough to climb. Just think about how many cheaters who literally have aim bot get stuck in like plat or diamond because they just have no game sense. Overwatch is a game of knowledge. Mechanics play a part but its not everything, id argue its not even the most important thing compared to the other aspects of play. Land 40% of your shots but practice the other elements of play and you can make an impact.
Key takeaways
1. Damage (of course) but remain aware to heal critical teammates
2. Take advantage of his exo boots to constantly find off angles, especially on high ground
3. Constant damage, even before and AFTER team fights
4. Use lamp behind corners
5. Use windows around corners when the enemy is unable to retreat to secure kills (or on high ground to get picks when off-angling)
6. Don’t be afraid to engage isolated enemies one-on-one when you have cool downs
7. Push forward when enemies are retreating and fall back when they come nearer, while doing damage
8. When getting pushed, always fight back to prevent the enemy from easily killing you
One of the things I paid attention to the most is his target priority and capitalizing on when enemies would make a mistake or be out of position. We all won't be able to play like him with that kind of mechanical skill. We're all not getting this result from this style of play. But we can definitely all learn the gamesense he teaches.
@@Maxavian Yeap, I recently tried myself on a few games and had to consciously remind myself to take off angles instead of just spamming heals main. I ended up with the most damage in my team and won easily despite my poor aim (about 35%).
@@awilduser895thats not "poor"
Watched this, went from like 39% to 50% winrate on bap almost immediately. My team ofcourse is crying to me about not healing and questioning my playstyle just like you said would happen.
Edit: Currently 61% winrate and made it to diamond.
If you don't have literally perfect aim with bap, all the hero's potential is lost.
you'll probably never see this but man, I used to talk soooo much sh*t about unranked to GMs. But 30 mins in and I've learned more than a whole season of trying to play bap, big ups for the free coaching! And for showing me that I have a lot to work on to actually get out of plat
i realise what im doing wring now. my teammates take 10 billion dmg every three seconds but thats bc im not distracting also and getting off angles/ dmg
or they just suck balls
“The great thing about baptiste is that he can also heal” Was a lot funnier than it should have been
Your tips are so useful man. Been going back and forth from bronze 1 and silver 4 for 2 seasons now, but after applying the stuff you say in the video, I broke the cycle and now im in gold 2. Keep up the good work my guy, the videos really help.
applied your advice to my own gameplay and went from mid masters to GM1 last night. Your commentary really helped me out in those higher tier lobbies.
5:06 another thing that's great about Baptiste is that he can jump out of Mei ult if you time the jump right.
How are babies made? DAMAGE
When I sleep I hear "damage", when I wake up I hear "damage". Thanks man.
Your accuracy while jumping is insane... the stick drift in my 5 year old controller makes it impossible no matter how hard I focus on it haha. Great video!
He is on mouse an keyboard an actually has insane mechanics to
I wouldn't be too bugged about not having as great aim as him on an old controller
Thanks for this video, it has really helped my game. I like your teaching style of repeating the same playing principles over and over like a mantra, while showcasing the validity of those principles. I am now playing much more aggressive as support, inserting more off angling into my play. It also works mentally well for me to never blame my team and always take responsibility for my deaths. It forces a mindset of improvement. Subbed.
whole point of this guide: DAMAGE
This is the way. Played Bap for most of last season, ended up Masters 3 after only peaking Diamond 4 before. Had multiple games where my team literally said in chat "Bap, how tf do you have so much damage and still healing?" Had one game where I had 24k damage and 13k heals, by far my most dominant game, went 44-5 on Oasis. These guides are still top-notch. Good stuff.
I think the only thing holding me back on Bap is my aim. I swear his aiming is just strange.
@@ThePilleroflightning His aiming isn't too bad once you get used to it. The best advice for better aim is to not autopilot your aim, and actually REALLY focus on aiming. Like, TRYHARD aiming.
Also, update on the original comment, I finally hit GM5, he's broken.
I absolutely love it, that my teammates say "bro think's he's good" when I have more dmg than our dps's. It's just hilarious that their ego's cant handle a supp out dps'ing them.
its funny how people say these kind of things only work because you are T500, literally got back into overwatch after years and recently hit masters on all roles after being gold a couple of weeks ago and we just focused on understanding the game and watching people that are actually good at it instead of just going in thinking you know everything and hoping that doing the same thing over and over and over again is going to do anything other than making bad habbits, thanks for the videos, you along with other creators like a10 and ml7 have helped me so much through the climb
All you need to be good at squishy heroes is to know how to off angle and land your shots. With tanks you still want to apply as much pressure as possible but you do it more directly. Instead of flanking you go big dick on squishies, pressing w as hard as you can without dying. Making people force to deal with you provides insane amount of space.
I love how simple Awkward videos are. "Damage damage damage, use cover, shot from off angle". It really is that simple
The last bap video got me to diamond. It's time for a refresher with everything that's changed.
ME TOO
This was surreal to watch and it's even on UA-cam to watch how everything happened in detail. Thanks for the knowledge!
Actually straight from silver to plat after this. Thanks
Great content as always, Awkward. Your playstyle and lessons took me from gold to masters when I started playing more on support.
I like how he is still healing while dmging you just don’t leave teammates stranded. Top players do both and play the support role perfect. Most lower ranks can’t do both.
@@carlthefirst2873 Yep. He's able to get incredible value.
I've been playing Overwatch since it first came out and I've never had so much fun until I started watching your videos. You make the game make sense. Thanks for posting all of this great content.

Hes still healing yall. Just reverse healing on the enemy
I just won several games in a row after watching This. 😂 the bap on the last team was flaming his tank. For chasing the “dps bap” around I had 13k damage 5k heals. He had 3k damage 11k heals.
Bro could play mercy and still say “okay guys, mercy, it’s all about damage”
all about damage boost probably, still the same thing
Bro u should want ch dafran u2gm bro got the Glock out glocking
Got to love the trash talking Hanzo on the Colosseo - push. Goes from talking trash to accusing of aimbot.
I love you man haha, this stuff is great and a huge help thanks!
A Lucio one would be absolutely godly

You should mention that people should disable "recoil recovery aim compensation" on the per hero settings for baptiste
hey why should this be disabled? what does it do?
@@James-il1zn it auto adjusts your recoil which is contraproductive if you have good aim. With it off you will aim better
@@MorrTex I don't get it. I've always left it on by default, and I adjust the recoil by aiming slightly down while I fire. Turning it off just makes it harder to adjust for the recoil, it feels like it does the opposite of what it says
I added up all the game lengths and he did it in 2 hours 22 minutes and 19 seconds. Fastest game was New Queen Street at 5min 4sec and longest game was Eichenwalde at 14min 34sec. Average time per game was 9min 29sec. Very nice.
The playstyle you use on Bap and Kiri has the added bonus of making players who don't understand the game avoid you.
Genuinely amazing teacher, repeating the same things over and over gets it into peoples heads.
I just watched the tracer unranked to gm and all I can think about is off angles, *damage always* and picking off vulnerable targets.
W video as always 🤘
I'm glad you mentioned spamming the enemy tank with damage doesn't equate to doing well. My main dps is Hanzo and I sometimes get flamed for my damage being lower than the other dps and the tank but I always have more kills than both because I'm not playing for damage numbers, I'm playing for kills.
Bronze to Masters feels super linear in progression, but Grandmaster (where this video stops) and Top 500 feel like a totally different game.
I think the essential awkward quote. The crux of this play style is, “anyway, time to do damage.” If you got nothing to do, do damage.

LOL holy shit that's hilarious
I love the part where he does damage
5:10
Awkward: How am I able to not die in the middle of the fight?
Me: BECAUSE DAMAGE!
Awkward: Because I keep my distance and close enough to cover...
Me: Oh....
You're a lifesaver man. Been watching these for the heroes that i like to play and using your positioning I've found huge success. Im pumping the same dps as my actual dps and i'm outhealing almost evey healer i see in my games.
"DAMAGE" - Sun Tzu
Looks like the new system is now much better at determining someone's skill level hence why you got to GM so quickly. About flipping time.
Looks like anti smurf measures are coming live. Although it's probably partially also the fact that it's 100% winrate. I remember some U2GM in OW1 with Reaper with 100% winrate. It took 19 games to get to GM. Your MMR probably skyrockets if you don't lose a single game. But if you do, you tank a lot, as it is a signal for matchmaker that maybe you aren't as good if you lost in diamond or something
Two most important things I learned from Awkward that helped me climb out of the metal ranks was always take an off angle and always damage. The biggest thing was probably not turning around to retreat. If you're going to chase me you will get damage from me. That alone will either get you a pick with the enemy way out of position OR they will back off if they are smart.
deranged man terrorizes ranked ladder while looking for a person named “damage”
Hi Awkward. Just wanna say thank you bro. I was a tank main ever since Overwatch 2 came out. I always tried to learn how to play the game (as I was bronze back in 2016 lol, but could climb to gold and then diamnond). I saw ur unranked to gm video on Ana, and you showed some concepts no other content creator told us about. Today I got masters 5, i wasn´t good in support role (struggled to get plat). In one season, as Overwatch 2 made everyone fall a little of sr, my average was high gold in all roles, and in one season I could get to high diamond and master in support, and not putting so much effort on it. Keep up the great work, you have no idea how many people you help with your content! 🙂
Would love to see one with Lifeweaver, considering his damage isnt consistent at longer ranges. Love the content, keep it up!
Yeah, overall any support without huge damage potential. We know what Awkward does on Zen, Ana and Bap (he would do the same on Moira for sure as well). I wonder how he would play as Mercy, Lucio, Brig and Lifeweaver who don't dish out dps level of damage
“Why is Ana dead? Because I shot at her”
2:41:07 BEST example of damage before the fight imo, watching that sig waste his succ over baptiste bursting at him at MASTERS rank then dying because of it got me so hype to rank up.
Thank you for teaching me I’ve already been messaged two games in a row about being a dps bap as I hard Cary with most damage and elims in each match
we need a counter for how many times awkward says DAMAGE lol
Your tips have helped me exponentially; the repetition and idea of questioning sticks in my brain so well. It really changes your mindset if you repeat it enough time. Went from gold to diamond in a week, much love
