Target priority was such a huge thing that recently clicked for me: going for healers or isolated duelists as a tank will yield better results than hitting the closest enemy indiscriminately
I main Thor, I try to focus healers that get left alone with the hammer lunge when the tanks will focus my team. I can smoke em and then we focus the tanks without heals and there ya go a lot of fights are stalemates until you can pick a healer
I did this as a Venom main recently and the difference is insane. I went from swinging in getting clapped by the whole team, to singling out 1 or 2 heroes, leaving the rest isolated without support which they don’t stand a chance against venom without
Knowing 3/6 characters is the strat, having a main in each cat and then also a backup in each will make things alot easier when people take your character
I have that for tank and support (strange n Loki with magneto and invis woman as backup) but for dps I am struggling more. I really want to play Spiderman but it feels like an up hill battle and so many dps characters I don't seem to work well with.
I'm stuck in silver and it genuinely feels like there is no common sense in bronze and silver. They would rather walk down the middle lane of Klyntar dozens of times while getting domed by hawkeye and hela instead of going the left or right side that has more cover.
Play a high impact hero with solo carry potential to get out of gold, and then pick someone you like. Luckily for me Loki is able to solo wipe shit teams and I made it from bronze 3 to plat 3 in 1 day with no losses.
Funny story. I was a GrandMaster 1 dps and dropped down to Diamond playing with this 6 stack. So I decided to help my Platnium friends. LOL we destoryed this Platnium ranked team so bad that they surrendered. They literally had no common sense. It was so easy to escape with Black Panther. Their entire team had 50 deaths and 1 kill.
"... If you ever feel like you're stuck in plat." SMH I'm never getting out of Bronze 3. No Moon Knight skin for me. Edit: I just made Bronze 2. Silver, here we come!

When he says 2-4 heroes, don't make them all the same role. Sometimes you'll win games purely because of your ability to flex. I was playing magneto and we had a groot, they had a wolverine. In case you are unaware, 2 tanks into wolverine is really bad. So I swapped to Loki and reversed a 4 minute remaining third point capture. Also went from 4-5 to 20-6.
Fair enough...but with someone like Wolverine it isn't the comp it's the coordination it takes to punish him. In your case you and Groot had three measures against him for sure, even before the switch. Problem lies in your team making use of you bubbling, pushing him back wth mag Cannon, Groot walling him in away from healer, or even knowing wolverines passive cooldown to punish him next time he dives in case he survived a first time. Or even knowing enemy cooldowns in general.
@@LaztheLaxwhile this is true it also depends on if you are solo queuing or full stacking because I solo que and every time I’m a tank and there is a good Wolverine on the other team and we have two tanks I always switch off to another role most likely dps just to help our tank whenever Wolverine dives him I instantly focus him to get a free pick while he is focused on the tank before he can kill the tank and a lot of randoms want help the tank
Ehhhhh, i would rather have people in their mains, on a role they know, than a role they don't. Though to be fair, lots of people instalock dps and don't do their job. so...
as a star-lord main, I can confirm that I feel like my aim is way better than it actually is. My aim is pretty good, but in replays, I totally see a bunch of missed shots that my brain completely ignored. Definitely watch replays to see what you can improve on.
definitely. I main psylocke rn and i feel like im constantly laying into the enemy but rewatching my games I'll see I constantly miss 1-2 of her bolts.
I've played the Practice Against the AI mode. Netease's bots are much better than the ones you sometimes run into in QP. Those QP bots must be third parties farming up proficiency levels before they sell the accounts.
Yea well duh cause if you suck at comptive than you suck at PvP so if your versing real players in quick play you never gonna win so they added bots so those people who suck can get a win every now and then also the queue won't take 5 minutes
Quickplay has nothing for you to learn after a few hours of gameplay or learning a new character. Otherwise, Ranked should be the only thing you’re playing to “improve”.
I realized that, pretty much every time I die, I'm quick to blame others when,in fact, 90% of the time, it is my own fault. And I am working to improve and keep my emotions in check. I hope all players like me try to do so. I still hate Star Lords ultimate though😂
Good job brotha, my emotions and ego has gotten the best of me as well. This game you need to leave that at the door if you wanna get better! Best of luck to you.
This is off topic and on topic at the same time, but I hate the fact that school makes kids think mistakes are bad. Because people always get in trouble or bad grades for mistakes but the excitement of learning how to correct you mistake, especially if it in something fun like marvel rivals, makes mistakes actually cool because you always get better if you treat them right.
The #1 way I learn and improve in anything in life is through making a mistake, even if I have been told not to make that mistake. It doesn’t really sink in unless I do it myself.
One important thing for me that I'm working on is situational awareness, especially as a tank player. To know if I'm pushing too deep on my own or is there any dps sneaking up on my healers or maybe I been standing in a way that give enemy dps a free shot or maybe I been unknowingly stepping on Peni's mines. I find that being aware of these things helped me alot.
What I love most about working my way through Bronze to Gold for the past two season is how beneficial it was to have played Loki. He copies any character as his ult so its allowed me to learn every character. Now I have an idea of how to approach fights and who’s ults is more useful depending on the situational battle.
Fun experiment, next time you get steamrolled, check out the avg win rate of both your team and the enemy team. Spoiler, your teams average will be around 30% while the enemy’s will be about 50%+. “Ranked” in the early tiers is just “did I get put on the good team this time?”
@@v3gas102 you have to do a rough average based on their games played and games won. Its easier in lower ranks because the players are either slightly higher or lower than 50% win rate
Checking average win rates of the entire team is copeing. It’s a tough thing to understand, but the truth is if you’re losing 3-8 games in a row, you are the common denominator. It’s tough I get it, and sometimes you really are in a game that is nearly impossible to win, but for the most part your games are winnable. This video is good advice, just gotta focus on improvement! You got this!!
I’ve never played a game like this and was extremely nervous to bc I didn’t want to let down my teammates, however I’ve had a lot of fun and not too many bad comms which is nice! appreciate your take on improving and I look forward to it as I go, def gonna check out the vid you linked thanks 😊
I just started but I played a lot of Valorant before so I at least had some aim but my advice is if you tell them you are new if you can instead of getting mad most people will give you tips
People reset their crosshairs constantly like that because Aim trainers like Aim Lab constantly have you reset back to the middle of the screen. A flick exercise like spider shot have you shoot a target in the center then flick to a target and come back to center. There is a ton of exercises like that.

The issue for me with ranked and trying to get far in it is just having to deal with solo queuing with random folks that don't do any of this and more. Here's my experience with most of the games I lose. Get in, no one wants to tank or heal or if they do go healer, its on dagger/cloak and ignore cloaks healing aspect so I'm forced to fill 90% of my games to better the team comp. Once in game, no one decides to push for the objective and either hang back and let enemy team push or go off on their own to camp and pick off stragglers and if your a tank, like I am, I am dancing around the objective alone with no healing hoping teammates can pick people off and if not, I'm in the back protecting team and nothing is done to win cause we have no one advancing or pushing. The only good thing I see from this is that I have a lot of practice on healing and tanking but because I rarely get to play duelist, that is my weakest role. So from my experience the issue with winning comes down to bad team comps where everyone only wants to put up numbers but are also bad at it and a lack of desire to play the objective and playing the waiting game hoping someone else on the team does it so they can blame them and not themselves when we get stuck in a game where we lose bad. In a sense your right, the issue is there are too many stubborn players unwilling to learn and adapt.
silver lining is the enemy team is likely to also have people doing that. If you're good enough to be a higher rank than you are, you just have to keep playing
one of my favorite intuiton moments ive had was watching my low health hela ult, and then deciding to hangout with her in LOS to heal her as she came out. saved her life.
Love seeing all this gameplay of people on iron man being completely ignored while they wipe out teams but then I go to try him and get focused the entire game
14:32 As a controler player it is high key imposible to hit small target by tracking instead of keeping the crosshair in one spot (notice I say SMALL targets)
The study linked doesn't differentiate between positive and negative reinforcement. It compares self monitoring vs monitoring with reinforcement with 3 participants (school children).
Coulda sworn I just seen you in XQCs lobby on steam and came back to your channel see if you were uploading this game or not. 😄 It really might have been you!
For a+d strafing its actually best to add in w/s so ur moving in a more figure 8 or circle as just doing a+d has a movement penalty where u stand still for a moment but going in circles or figure 8s doesnt suffer the movement penalties
Ranked is horrible i get games that are absolutely AI and I'm dropping 20-30 kills and other where I can't drop a single kill and we get stompped on so bad it's actually sad
How do you improve? 1. watch the suggestion videos in the Heros, Abilities tab, at the bottom of the page. Every hero has one. 2. If playing competitive matches, use a mic, talk to your team, communicate in-game things, and most of all don't auto lock-in. If you're playing comp, there is an expectation to know all of the toons because at some point, you'll have to counter them. Which is why doing step 1 will make you better, knowledge is power. 3. DO NOT BE A YAHOO. Be nice, or expect the same stuff throw right back at you. 4. If you are serious about comp. Get a team and Q. If you don't have a team, don't expect anyone to follow anything you do or say. You entered without people, accept the consequence. 5. Get over yourself. Individual plays make you cool and all, but you have 5 other people on your team. Know your role, have awareness, and notice your mistakes. Improve over time, with each match. Don't get frustrated, get smart. 6. Talk to your team, be friendly, and compliment and advise. Team Moral is super important. Especially if someone else's job to protect or heal you. It's maybe a 1-3 games out of 10 games for me; playing a game where we don't talk, but still have an easy win. Best way to have a better community is to start making it. 7. Don't play games rated for 12 year old's and up if you cannot handle a little smack talk or direct communication. Grow some thicker skin and for the legitimate complaints; the report system works really well in this game. It allows you to avoid, block, and report. Very useful and so far, everyone I've reported was 'reached" out to so far because they let you know in your in-game mail box. 8. If you need more information about your moves: Every game is saved for a period of time and you can watch the entire game. The time lines have time stamps represent highlights too. Don't just watch the highlights tho, figure out why/who/how you got stuck or owned in addition to noticing what worked against each Hero. The info is there. 9. Do your job. If your role is Vanguard, then get out there. Don't pocket the healers, forcing them into a corner when an actual vanguard drops in on you... with a Venom followed by a Magik. >.< lol Lead them away from your healers or focus an annoying dps, but your job is to control the flow of individual and team encounters (best that you can) so that ultimately you can drop the most effective player on the other team, at that time. Situational awareness. Its important. 10. Have fun. Have more fun by having fun with the community while actually in game with people. If you're nice they might pay it forward, you know? Thanks y'all, Mahalo!
I made it to plat 2 previous season I was sweating but in a lot less time. Now I'm in Gold 3 struggling to not get demoted. I don't know if I'm getting discouraged, solo queuing too much, getting worse or playing better players but I LOVED the game last season. I'm almost ready to throw in the towel. I'm going to keep trying to grind a bit more but I don't know how much longer I can put in time energy just to get my ass kicked and told I'm shit before I go do something else. Haha.
People please don’t be afraid to change character half way thru a game if it’s not working and you need say a healer. Please pay attention to that. And get good with character at a hero in all 3 classes.
This is my first ever game like this that I’ve actually really enjoyed playing. I’m usually a strategists main but I’m trying to get good at psylocke 😭 I’m hoping I will eventually get her to lord :)
You get better by playing all the characters! You cannot read moves or flow of battle if you don't know what each character does, their combos and cool down times. Also remember that when you get full powers, your opponent timer likely submitted. Wait to use your ult, especially as healer if opp is decent playing the same character (you're only wasting it unless a pinch).... Also Thor tip, patience is key by keeping a full set of 3 hammers you can consistently do the most DPS as tank with your ult buff.
5:55 imo I think it's not raw talent but just the experience: if someone played a lot of competitive games even if it's completely different than rivals it will still help to recognize and fix mistakes more than just talent
100% factual. obsessing over strategy is how people get stuck in plat strategy is almost irrelevant until you get to the top ranks just play for yourself, try to improve your mechanics be mindful of your positoning and target priority, generate as much value for your team as you can the game is just a tug of war between teams, dont overthink it by trying to plan everything and expecting the game to play out exactly how you want it to
It's funny watching you talk about the "flicky aim" lol. I don't know how I learned to aim this way, but it's just always how I've done it in every game, and I hit GM without aim being much of a consideration. To your point, though, maybe that's just more evidence that aim isn't as important as you might think.
7:00, this is probably the best advice that anyone's given about this game and games in general have fun none of you are going to make a living playing this game
About Strafing, until now i was taught to always use wasd because you keep the momentum rather than with AD, so instead of AAAAAADDDDDAAAAADDDDDD you can do AAAAAAAWDDDDDDDDSAAAAAAAAAWDDDDD etc., is that not better?
keeping your speed up isn't as important as being unpredictable. you would probably do best to randomly switch between strafing styles to keep your enemy guessing
I sort of move in a circle when dodging with my movement instead of right and left. This way if someone is flanking me, I am still dodging at their angle. Is this viable or am I limiting myself?
Iron man or other flying characters that is important actually oh but remember w and s are relative to your camera not back and forth so counter with space and control
Play more, pick characters you enjoy playing. Find who you're good at. Play with people you like. Enjoy the game regardless of how good you are and you'll get better. Overwatch was the same way. You climb alot more when you're enjoying the game.
Hey thanks for the video. This is really helpful to me :) 1 feedback piece: Be aware of your "like" words in conversation and reduce the way you use it ':D
The problem is having is ill do this and start picking off their team 1 by 1 but at some point I notice my entire team gets wiped and then the enemy team is free to focus me together and I can’t seem to get out of that rotation
Problem, and my frustration with these hero shooters, is that ranked is not a representation of skill. It's all a gamble of what team you get. Ranking is normally just a matter of time, not skill. The game will pretty much try to get every player to near a 50% win ratio, and time to rank up is a matter of when the wins/losses come, but that's just timing of rank up. Given the system gives more rank points for a win and less lost for losing you will rank up given enough time, just mathematically, but it'll be more frustrating than it should be because of how it matches. The game will put you with a bunch of people on lose streaks, probably tilting, when you're on a win streak. It assumes you're good enough over the last few games to carry a bunch of people, in a game that is very hard to carry, and even if you do well if your team doesn't take advantage then you really didn't affect the game. Carrying is not really possible if your team is no good. For example, I've had matches where I killed their healers pretty much the whole game but it did no good bc team never pushed, or where I killed like 3-4 of the enemy team prior to a team fight and we still didn't get the point bc team was passive. The game should have more variance in rank up points based on player performance. For example you theoretically should be able to get like 200 points for one match and jump 2 ranks. And the metrics of player skill shouldn't just be scoreboard stuff because that can be drastically affected by having a bad team. If team is providing no resistance or distraction then you're more likely to die more often and get less kills or do less damage. A sophisticated player skill system should be developed that takes things into account like reaction time, doing your job as your hero by analyzing where you are in relation to team, when you triggered ultimates and where player and team position eas after that (on point hopefully). There's lots of ways to make a sophisticated skill rank system without relying solely on w/l or scoreboard stats.
That's my issue, movement. Repositioning, thinking through a better spot. I sit there and strafe but right in front of the enemy, but people good at the game are constantly repositioning, using walls, using map elements but I'm just hyper focused/panic spamming that I loose the thought of positioning and movement.
Ive never been above silver in a game but I hit G1 so close to plat in Season 0. Taking improvement very seriously but holy fuck the AD strafe and not moving diagonally/jumping has never occured to me before.
Fun game, don't take it seriously though it's a team game not a solo game and if you're playing with Randoms you're either going to win and win in a landslide or lose in a landslide.
The best way to climb is to main Iron Man and beg your tanks to go hulk every game. They didn't nerf the team up so you can just melt literally everyone in the game next season.
Using Groot wrong too. The walls do damage every time you attack. Punches, spore throw, normal attack, and the ULT. Per attack, per wall. Hide the Iron wall because within its aoe, every Hero that lands an attack with get health back. Or shield, can't remember. Any who, thought I'd point that out since @0:50 in it was just being used to block forward progress and you were hardly attack near your walls too. FYI
the ranked needs a total rework. just had 2 games in a row when someone on our team rage quit right away and the game wouldnt end, so back to back rating losses. feels awful.

Team fight awareness and positioning
If your team is winning the team fights please remember who popped ults and when because it's easier to manage ults that way and also try to remember who died and if they got ressed or if they are a fast character because some people get super confident killing a spiderman and go for his back line to end up seeing him in 12 seconds when the respawn timer is 10
That also goes for positioning in which I see a lot of the time dps are either flanking way too much or not doin it at all and heals are front line
The line up in each battle should be tanks front line dps mid and heals back
If the heals get dived and the DPS are busy flanking 247 the heals are dead
It's not up to the tank to go backline and deal with that it's the dps because the tank has to hold the enemy team off in order for your survival this works especially well for defense in which I see a lot of players have very poor defense and are extremely good in offense
Defense is about patience while offense is about the intuition this guy was talking bout in the vid
Hopefully this helps a bit for some people if they willing to read this giant paragraph 💀💀💀

I'ma trust you, man. I'ma trust you. I'm self-conscious about my aim, but I'm gonna focus more on my movement and see how it goes. Wish me luck
3 days later... How did it go? 😊
That baseball analogy actually helps because I did the donut weight when I was on deck, it makes a lot of sense too
great tips, especially the mechanics section. The concrete tips for the practice range were awesome.
Very helpful, thank you. I'm gonna go try to learn my characters now.
It's crazy, I just had this in my mind. This will be perfect for knowing how to get to the level I wanna be at.
It’s a good day when that noti pops up
Kiss him then

@@nukeman_13 Ight that was pretty funny gg
This genuinely is the best advice I've ever been given
I haven't even gotten to play the game yet and im already obsessed and learning a lot
The issue for me with ranked and trying to get far in it is just having to deal with solo queuing with random folks that don't do any of this and more. Here's my experience with most of the games I lose. Get in, no one wants to tank or heal or if they do go healer, its on dagger/cloak and ignore cloaks healing aspect so I'm forced to fill 90% of my games to better the team comp. Once in game, no one decides to push for the objective and either hang back and let enemy team push or go off on their own to camp and pick off stragglers and if your a tank, like I am, I am dancing around the objective alone with no healing hoping teammates can pick people off and if not, I'm in the back protecting team and nothing is done to win cause we have no one advancing or pushing. The only good thing I see from this is that I have a lot of practice on healing and tanking but because I rarely get to play duelist, that is my weakest role. So from my experience the issue with winning comes down to bad team comps where everyone only wants to put up numbers but are also bad at it and a lack of desire to play the objective and playing the waiting game hoping someone else on the team does it so they can blame them and not themselves when we get stuck in a game where we lose bad. In a sense your right, the issue is there are too many stubborn players unwilling to learn and adapt.
Sounds like qp or below gold gameplay. In diamond it's always 2 or more insta lock support
@skoomd4447 yup. Was trying to get the MK skin but ended up winning 1 and losing 2-3, and it just got really frustrating with my limited time to play
silver lining is the enemy team is likely to also have people doing that. If you're good enough to be a higher rank than you are, you just have to keep playing
one of my favorite intuiton moments ive had was watching my low health hela ult, and then deciding to hangout with her in LOS to heal her as she came out. saved her life.
7:01 Boom, this instantly earned a like & sub. Really well said. Thank you.
This is amazing, real and positive perspective and advice. Subbed
Love seeing all this gameplay of people on iron man being completely ignored while they wipe out teams but then I go to try him and get focused the entire game
Good lessons for life in general. Progress, improve, learn from mistakes and put in the effort and dedication. You can do anything.
Was not expecting a good video, subbed and liked.
14:32 As a controler player it is high key imposible to hit small target by tracking instead of keeping the crosshair in one spot (notice I say SMALL targets)

such a great and usefull video man. good job and keep it up
The study linked doesn't differentiate between positive and negative reinforcement. It compares self monitoring vs monitoring with reinforcement with 3 participants (school children).
Clear. Concise. Helpful. Thank you 🙏🏽
Coulda sworn I just seen you in XQCs lobby on steam and came back to your channel see if you were uploading this game or not. 😄 It really might have been you!
They actually cited a study!? Instant sub.
For a+d strafing its actually best to add in w/s so ur moving in a more figure 8 or circle as just doing a+d has a movement penalty where u stand still for a moment but going in circles or figure 8s doesnt suffer the movement penalties
Ranked is horrible i get games that are absolutely AI and I'm dropping 20-30 kills and other where I can't drop a single kill and we get stompped on so bad it's actually sad
How do you improve?
1. watch the suggestion videos in the Heros, Abilities tab, at the bottom of the page. Every hero has one.
2. If playing competitive matches, use a mic, talk to your team, communicate in-game things, and most of all don't auto lock-in. If you're playing comp, there is an expectation to know all of the toons because at some point, you'll have to counter them. Which is why doing step 1 will make you better, knowledge is power.
3. DO NOT BE A YAHOO. Be nice, or expect the same stuff throw right back at you.
4. If you are serious about comp. Get a team and Q. If you don't have a team, don't expect anyone to follow anything you do or say. You entered without people, accept the consequence.
5. Get over yourself. Individual plays make you cool and all, but you have 5 other people on your team. Know your role, have awareness, and notice your mistakes. Improve over time, with each match. Don't get frustrated, get smart.
6. Talk to your team, be friendly, and compliment and advise. Team Moral is super important. Especially if someone else's job to protect or heal you. It's maybe a 1-3 games out of 10 games for me; playing a game where we don't talk, but still have an easy win. Best way to have a better community is to start making it.
7. Don't play games rated for 12 year old's and up if you cannot handle a little smack talk or direct communication. Grow some thicker skin and for the legitimate complaints; the report system works really well in this game. It allows you to avoid, block, and report. Very useful and so far, everyone I've reported was 'reached" out to so far because they let you know in your in-game mail box.
8. If you need more information about your moves: Every game is saved for a period of time and you can watch the entire game. The time lines have time stamps represent highlights too. Don't just watch the highlights tho, figure out why/who/how you got stuck or owned in addition to noticing what worked against each Hero. The info is there.
9. Do your job. If your role is Vanguard, then get out there. Don't pocket the healers, forcing them into a corner when an actual vanguard drops in on you... with a Venom followed by a Magik. >.< lol Lead them away from your healers or focus an annoying dps, but your job is to control the flow of individual and team encounters (best that you can) so that ultimately you can drop the most effective player on the other team, at that time. Situational awareness. Its important.
10. Have fun. Have more fun by having fun with the community while actually in game with people. If you're nice they
might pay it forward, you know?
Thanks y'all, Mahalo!
I started this season at silver three. 88 matches later I'm still at silver three. It's like the game won't let me do any better.
I made it to plat 2 previous season I was sweating but in a lot less time. Now I'm in Gold 3 struggling to not get demoted. I don't know if I'm getting discouraged, solo queuing too much, getting worse or playing better players but I LOVED the game last season. I'm almost ready to throw in the towel. I'm going to keep trying to grind a bit more but I don't know how much longer I can put in time energy just to get my ass kicked and told I'm shit before I go do something else. Haha.
People please don’t be afraid to change character half way thru a game if it’s not working and you need say a healer. Please pay attention to that. And get good with character at a hero in all 3 classes.
Dps is so hard 😂
This is my first ever game like this that I’ve actually really enjoyed playing. I’m usually a strategists main but I’m trying to get good at psylocke 😭 I’m hoping I will eventually get her to lord :)
Great video!
You get better by playing all the characters!
You cannot read moves or flow of battle if you don't know what each character does, their combos and cool down times. Also remember that when you get full powers, your opponent timer likely submitted. Wait to use your ult, especially as healer if opp is decent playing the same character (you're only wasting it unless a pinch).... Also Thor tip, patience is key by keeping a full set of 3 hammers you can consistently do the most DPS as tank with your ult buff.
I really enjoyed this video thanks for uploading
5:55 imo I think it's not raw talent but just the experience: if someone played a lot of competitive games even if it's completely different than rivals it will still help to recognize and fix mistakes more than just talent
Also how comfortable you are, which ties into what you said. For example you might make more of the same mistakes on a hero you're uncomfortable with.
100% factual. obsessing over strategy is how people get stuck in plat
strategy is almost irrelevant until you get to the top ranks
just play for yourself, try to improve your mechanics
be mindful of your positoning and target priority, generate as much value for your team as you can
the game is just a tug of war between teams, dont overthink it by trying to plan everything and expecting the game to play out exactly how you want it to
babe wake up, chrrismyt uploaded
great video great vibes bro
It's funny watching you talk about the "flicky aim" lol. I don't know how I learned to aim this way, but it's just always how I've done it in every game, and I hit GM without aim being much of a consideration. To your point, though, maybe that's just more evidence that aim isn't as important as you might think.
“This one time.. at band camp”

Ngl I finally got to plat and this video is making me realize how cheeks I am
It's alright i finally just hit silver then went 5 losses in a row and got booted back to bronze

@@enonoka I’ve heard that so many times but this time idk sh it was hilarious 😂 gg
7:00, this is probably the best advice that anyone's given about this game and games in general have fun none of you are going to make a living playing this game
About Strafing, until now i was taught to always use wasd because you keep the momentum rather than with AD, so instead of AAAAAADDDDDAAAAADDDDDD you can do AAAAAAAWDDDDDDDDSAAAAAAAAAWDDDDD etc., is that not better?
keeping your speed up isn't as important as being unpredictable. you would probably do best to randomly switch between strafing styles to keep your enemy guessing
I sort of move in a circle when dodging with my movement instead of right and left. This way if someone is flanking me, I am still dodging at their angle. Is this viable or am I limiting myself?
You lose momentum when you strafe left and right. When you stay in a circle pattern or figure 8 it conserves momentum
If you already do that, go for Mantis, she benefits the most from that circular movement
@@nicholascahill7751Wait what are you talking about? I didn't know you could do that
Iron man or other flying characters that is important actually oh but remember w and s are relative to your camera not back and forth so counter with space and control
The only tried and true way to get better in my opinion is have fun because the more fun you have the more you’ll play and the more you’ll learn
I have lost 9 ranked matches in a row and i use all your tips and still cwnt seem to win one GAME
Me too bro
Play more, pick characters you enjoy playing. Find who you're good at. Play with people you like. Enjoy the game regardless of how good you are and you'll get better. Overwatch was the same way. You climb alot more when you're enjoying the game.
Good video!!
I sometimes do a round of Conquest for warm up since it's kinda like the shooting range with real people instead of bots.
Hey thanks for the video. This is really helpful to me :) 1 feedback piece: Be aware of your "like" words in conversation and reduce the way you use it ':D
The problem is having is ill do this and start picking off their team 1 by 1 but at some point I notice my entire team gets wiped and then the enemy team is free to focus me together and I can’t seem to get out of that rotation
Ok but ive been stuck in broze 3 for days and honestly im ready to give tf up
Problem, and my frustration with these hero shooters, is that ranked is not a representation of skill. It's all a gamble of what team you get. Ranking is normally just a matter of time, not skill.
The game will pretty much try to get every player to near a 50% win ratio, and time to rank up is a matter of when the wins/losses come, but that's just timing of rank up. Given the system gives more rank points for a win and less lost for losing you will rank up given enough time, just mathematically, but it'll be more frustrating than it should be because of how it matches.
The game will put you with a bunch of people on lose streaks, probably tilting, when you're on a win streak. It assumes you're good enough over the last few games to carry a bunch of people, in a game that is very hard to carry, and even if you do well if your team doesn't take advantage then you really didn't affect the game.
Carrying is not really possible if your team is no good. For example, I've had matches where I killed their healers pretty much the whole game but it did no good bc team never pushed, or where I killed like 3-4 of the enemy team prior to a team fight and we still didn't get the point bc team was passive.
The game should have more variance in rank up points based on player performance. For example you theoretically should be able to get like 200 points for one match and jump 2 ranks. And the metrics of player skill shouldn't just be scoreboard stuff because that can be drastically affected by having a bad team. If team is providing no resistance or distraction then you're more likely to die more often and get less kills or do less damage. A sophisticated player skill system should be developed that takes things into account like reaction time, doing your job as your hero by analyzing where you are in relation to team, when you triggered ultimates and where player and team position eas after that (on point hopefully). There's lots of ways to make a sophisticated skill rank system without relying solely on w/l or scoreboard stats.
How is your game so colorful and vibrant? Is there a specific setting or is it just video editing?
Support healing priority needs to get better
That's my issue, movement. Repositioning, thinking through a better spot. I sit there and strafe but right in front of the enemy, but people good at the game are constantly repositioning, using walls, using map elements but I'm just hyper focused/panic spamming that I loose the thought of positioning and movement.
Three things he mentions: Strategy, Intuition and Mechanics(accuracy/movement).
Ive never been above silver in a game but I hit G1 so close to plat in Season 0. Taking improvement very seriously but holy fuck the AD strafe and not moving diagonally/jumping has never occured to me before.
I'm not much of a PvP player, but I might give Marvel Rivals a chance
🤔 if you play rank be sure to turn off ALL chat options. Youre welcome
You should! I have never played any hero games or shooters but im having a amazing time with it
I recommend it! The game is fun asf and casual matches dont have any real relevance so you can experiment with all the characters
Fun game, don't take it seriously though it's a team game not a solo game and if you're playing with Randoms you're either going to win and win in a landslide or lose in a landslide.
@@PrimalRageTV Or. just dont play ranked if you know youre gonna sell ur team like a normal person
SHOTTY MENTION
I swear to god if the first 2 minutes he tells me to simply stop solo queuing my head will explode. Maybe this youtuber will be diff from the rest.
now i need a guide to how to rank up with dogshit teammates
Yesss my movement is trash! Lol and always to damn HAWKEYE AND HELA 😭😭🤣 i learned a lot. Thank you!
The best way to climb is to main Iron Man and beg your tanks to go hulk every game. They didn't nerf the team up so you can just melt literally everyone in the game next season.
I have yet to see a game with pick ban where hulk isn’t banned for that reason lol
Most of these tips can be applied to real life
Going to work on strafing more! I'm realzing I hatdly ever do it!
Getting good at a character requires you to understand your own counters to the character youre on.
i realize ive probably been strafing wrong this entire time
Using Groot wrong too. The walls do damage every time you attack. Punches, spore throw, normal attack, and the ULT. Per attack, per wall. Hide the Iron wall because within its aoe, every Hero that lands an attack with get health back. Or shield, can't remember. Any who, thought I'd point that out since @0:50 in it was just being used to block forward progress and you were hardly attack near your walls too. FYI
the ranked needs a total rework. just had 2 games in a row when someone on our team rage quit right away and the game wouldnt end, so back to back rating losses. feels awful.
From a GM Groot main, this is a fantastic video. Liked and subbed!
So this is where he went
Omg the zombies guy
Number 5 is very important
But do I know what was bad and what maybe was good but didn’t work in that scenario
Holy shit how do you find that basement where you shoot the bots?
It’s in the practice range right when you go out, jump down to the first floor and to the right. You have to jump down again and you’re there
Have you seen the new battle pass there's a insane iron man skin and namor skin which looks pretty cool
What’s the crosshairs you use?
I’m pissed if this doesn’t blow up. This is EASILY the best Rivals thumbnail I’ve seen yet. Like it’s not even close
W video good sir
Do you enter this code somewhere in Steam?
I think "game sense" instead of "intuition" is more fit for second slice of pie
One thing i saw on a different video is actually circle straffing instead of regular side to side straffing
how do i get my game to look like yours
