@@Isocyde you do know accuracy is also affected by randomly shooting around , like when walking from spawn and just shooting coz you got nothing better to do and it's taking you ages to reach the objective. If you rewatch the video, the player was always spraying tracers pistols in-between team fights, so I don't think it's reasonable to use their accuracy as a measure of how good they are as a player considering the fact.
@@thefancydancer Exactly. So it makes no sense why a player would run around and spray the ground. It gives away your position, and players are higher ranks are generally not that stupid. With the occasional exception of course 🥴
Exactly. That tank feels like either a carried smurf or a deranking trash. No one play to win yolo charges and fire strikes like that, and this means that he either belongs in the casual ranks of 1000-2000 or was throwing (casual mentality of not play to win is basically what distinguishes High Bronze to Gold casuals from higher ups). In fact, I have seen plenty silver and Gold tanks uses their abilities more judicious and effective than that... I think this video is accidentally a perfect example of what elo hell in Overwatch looks like.
avg tanks are like this. the tank role is boosted cuz not much players play it. if your even super super slightly better than the other tanks then you get boosted to fuck
@@jake00942 But the things is in this case, the player specifically said that his/her main hero was banned, so you know that it is either Mccree or Widowmaker. Probably Mccree because he is just OP
@@stylosa Is it defaulting to red and switching to blue when you pause/rewind while on the opposing (red) teams pov or something. Edit// as a side note if you go into options video/colourblind options you can reverse the friendly/enemy colours.

Don't worry, plat is a state of mind. There are many good players who just don't give a single fuck and that's why they're in plat. Not higher, not lower.
To be fair i've seen so many players in plat who were amazing, making me suspect they are smurfs. Then very next game our Moira won't heal or our Dva does nothing but feed and won't push after i've graved their entire team. You're fortunes almost entirely depend on the match makings mercy.
I think they are silver but actually trying to play cause I’m silver and I sometimes not all the time but sometimes I do some of those charges and I don’t mean to feed I’m just not the best
The new update has made the replay viewer work weirdly. By default, Team 1 is red. However if you spectate a player on Team 2, when you skip through time the colours swap, Team 2 becomes blue and Team 1 is red. If you have Team 2 blue, you can make Team 2 red again by skipping time whilst spectating a member of Team 1 or spectating *nobody at all.* This is what was happening to Sty
I can't stress this enough you are one of the best content creators ever. I don't even play OW that much but this is just amazing, I watch for you Sty. I watch for you
@@Sokoroz those 180's were also really good, for McCree and Widow main i would say he's really good with Tracer, tracking was beautiful imo he's gonna reach masters in no time
@@jirinek86 Fr, his tracer play was amazing, with more practice i can definitely see them going to high diamond and masters perhaps. Though, the reins were a joke through that whole match ngl.
@@jirinek86 I honestly highly doubt he is not at very least second maining Tracer despite what he said. With his current account level he would at maximum have two gold weapons but probably just one. There is slight possibility he decided to get gold guns for Tracer instead of any of his mains but doubtful don't you think? Also mechanically he is not new to Tracer at all. Doesn't change the fact play was alright P.S. he has connected overbuff to his account. I think his stats for most heroes he plays are way to high for the time he played ow. Could be a smurf. Adding up to this point that based on activity on overbuff he plays not that much with this particular account... To be good one must keep consistency. Anyway, that just my thoughts
i mean yeah but if you are in plat its not your teamates. Everybody's teamates are shit, and you are one of the shit teamates sometimes so blaming teamates is never a good idea.
Me, high gold/low plat player: That Rein is charging off again, this is silver. Maybe low gold Sty: That Rein is charging off again, this is plat Me: Hey!
What to do for each rank to gain SR: *Bronze*: Get a better game sense, like positioning for both your team and enemy team. *Silver*: Hero understanding. I am assuming most people in this rank are still mechanically challenged since I have seen people who can't aim for shit even in diamond, but by understanding what each hero's strengths and weaknesses are; you can significantly turn the game into your favor. *Gold*: Communication, don't clutter your chat/voice chat with random gibberish. Fun Fact: Don't say things like "Winston in the back!" not everyone know where you are talking about when you say 'back', this might actually make people turn for no reason and make more chaos. Give more specific and short call outs like "Winston jump pack down! He's at big Health Pack!" *Platinum*: Though you don't ever want to become a pure one trick now that hero pool is in play, but start to fine tune your preferred heroes. In the end of the day mechanical skills will make you clutch out games. *Diamond*: I personally struggled here the most. You are mechanically better, now it's all about team work. This goes farther than just communication and call outs at this point. Now it's coordinating skills and ultimate abilities. Remembering to save your cool-downs for certain enemy moves. *Masters*: I have never beat this and went in to GM, however I believe at this point you have to be just remember all the steps from before. Remember that this is a team game so it takes a team effort. Though it is technically possible for someone to throw the game, but don't flame. Keep calm... and grind grind grind.
you guys are so mean😭 i was the ana on the tracer’s team, i’m not new to the game i’m new to pc lol, used to be high masters-low gm constantly on console
Being isolated everyday isn't fun but these videos make days a little sweeter, i'm also trying to spread fun vibes with my own content here on youtube xD
I said it before in a previous guess the rank. The SR grouping limit needs to be 500 across all ranks. Otherwise you get 2900 players almost in diamond playing with 1900 silver players . That is ridiculous. People may complain about not being able to play with their friends. Boo fucking hoo. Play qp instead. Ranked is ranked for a reason.
Don't forget the golden rule Sty, always have a plan, this player has great mechanics, ok timings and passable movement and pathing but there is no plan, hes kind of just running around shooting.
I literally went on sty’s channel and then this popped off straight after I went and refreshed the home page, literally 8mins late... Sucks to be me then
here I expose a probable series of events: -Rein uses the cliffcharge -the fight begins and ends in reset -the teamates look someone to blame and decide that it is the rein, without taking into account Ana's lack of ability to set an example. -the teamates begin to blame and insult the rein -Rein, bored of the teamates decides not to give a $#% -the game ends as it ended . BONUS: this is a match fill with players with different rank, so, the bias and the ego is allover the place. PD: there are no throwers at the begin of the match, but there is toxic players, and toxic player make throwers directly or indirectly been passive aggressive.
Also standing directly on point B has come out superior sooo many times in Gold because when going for a flank the team just doesn't get back to the point fast enough when the enemies are attacking it and this way I've seen enemies capturing a lot of point Bs for free on Hanamura...
I think in this case it was kinda obvious the tanks were partly trolling, and partly dick measuring and seeing who had the biggest balls in a non-meta way. This is something I've seen happen at this rank, right at the border between plat and diamond, where main tanks, especially rein players, sometimes tend to do crazy stuff in order to try and show the other who is boss. This is most often done by doing mad charges in order to assert dominance. Is it smart or plat level worthy? Fuck no lmao. But it's the overflow of testosterone and possibly under influence of alcohol too, which enhances this sort of mentality of the german main tank players. Now for the Tracer player, decision-making seemed decent even for diamond, knew when to disengage and when he could pick a fight and be cheeky and stay in the backline. Fighting in the backline could be expanded a little further, so that you exist in the enemy backline more than with your own team. I think you have the skill to pull it off. In terms of raw mechanics, you're already quite good but some minor issues were evident, sometimes the blinks were not really on point and at times you seemed to be wanting to do a little too much at the same time. I'd suggest you to actually relax a bit and do less overall during fights, no need to act like you're a superhero even tho Tracer as a hero allows really high mechanical skill application, and sometimes you can feel like a god when playing her. I'd say, try to blink around enemies with slightly more distance. You were very often right up in their faces, which not only increases the risk of getting accidentally nailed in the head or falling victim to abilities not even meant for you (you got slept multiple times simply by being too close and ended up getting in the way of the ana's sight lines). Stay about 1 blink distance from the targets you focus, here you're still in effective range in terms of bullet spread and damage drop off - you have a better overview of the general fight, you make it easier for yourself to track the enemy you're engaging on, and you're less likely to put yourself in accidental danger. You can also easily blink in for a melee finish from this distance if you find the opportunity. 1 blink distance is the golden rule you should strive towards, generally getting closer than that exponentially raises the risks of falling victim to rng, especially since you also increase your head hitbox when you're closer to your enemy, which is bad when facing enemies like ashe or mccree who can easily 1 tap / 1 tap + melee you in higher elos.
I should send you in a game of my Mercy play. I'm like a Masters Mercy stuck in Plat because Plat is overloaded with throwers like that Rein who just don't care. Smurfs ruin competitive integrity.
What shocks me most about overwatch is how its been out for 4 years and people still dont understand the concept of group up. Blizzard needs to start showing stats so the people who are doing bad can be called out instead of everyone blaming everyone else.
This was a weird one. I started with saying plat after that very first rein charge, but then sty said diamond, and I was like... ya know what that makes sense. The tanks seemed to be trolling hard-core, which looked very intentional. Just going for dem sweet sweet meme plays. Which also made me think, hang on... this could totally be one of those god-tier gold players with the way the tanks are playing. I ended up saying 2600 at the end of it all. Guess I was a wee bit off
7:20 It was color swapped, it switched on the flip of A at 5:20...which is when i began wondering, does it always do that? 9:20 Again, appears linked to changing camera? no hypothesis yet, just observing.
You can get plats in 3.2 or above in diamond if they cue with friends in a group, so if you solo que into a group that group may have lower players if you are higher than them.
This was a great one. Please tell us all the things you're checking for when you go through them in your head if you can remember to do it. Helps us, but also makes it more entertaining. Great work!
Any chance that we could put the SR of the player at the END of the video? That way the ppl who don’t want to play can just go look for it, but the rest of us don’t have to worry about looking away. Love you Sty
I hear stuff like "in low ranks they can't pull off these plays" that i see all the time in low ranks. And my idea is that OW matchmaking just forces even matches no matter which SR you're at. I'm at f'n 1800 these days. Used to be plat. Actually improved, only to earn worse matchmaking, it seems. Non stop smurfs on the other team. Sheer potatoes on our team. I don't know. I think the game is screwed and they BETTER have a complete reset and overhaul of the SR and MMR systems for OW2. Could be my imagination, but i've never seen this kind of thing in any other game.
The new update has made the replay viewer work weirdly. By default, Team 1 is red. However if you spectate a player on Team 2, when you skip through time the colours swap, Team 2 becomes blue and Team 1 is red. If you have Team 2 blue, you can make Team 2 red again by skipping time whilst spectating a member of Team 1 or spectating *nobody at all.* This is what was happening to Sty
Sty: Team one is blue, team two is red. Except when you rewind from a player's POV, then that team is blue. It goes back to left players being blue and right players being red when you rewind from outside a player's POV.
Are we just gonna ignore how right after Tracer fell off the map, the Rein pinned another Rein off map a SECOND time in the kill feed? The guy is sending a message is what he's doing.
SR means nothing at this stage in life of the game. Welcome to ELO Hell, where you're carrying but your team is throwing. Its impossible to climb anymore.
As a 3600 tracer player this guy is no where near master level, every single tracer player 3500+ will be hitting blink melee’s. His 180s were a dead giveaway.
Sometimes that Symmetra teleport works fine in Gold... Me and my friends have done it a few times... But then again it has also failed miserably other times...
IDK it looked like those tanks were throwing from the start. im in plat and those tanks don't look like anything I've played with before (besides throwers that is)
the color changes to blue if you start off the game selecting a red hero. however if you've already selected a blue hero and then select a red hero, the colors stay the same. but if you are on a red hero and then rewind or fast forward the clip, it will change to blue. hope that helps. you haven't gone mad haha.
So... Did Sty miss the two Reinhardts falling to their doom after the main player Tracer when he was chewing them out for falling off the map? Surely that would have elicited some reaction :)
Seeing Rain charge: bronze Seeing Torb (the Tracer) aim+move: low masters Seeing Anna struggle: gold I went from bronze, through low masters to 2830 Plat. If this guy isn't a smurf, he's in his unlucky elo hell.

I think that Sty is so used to watching bronze and silver players in OverAnalyzed that he's really excited to see a good player making good decisions.
At 12:22 Sty just turns into a dolphin. Best part of this whole video thank me later
Stylosa you should do these live it would be great to see you interact with viewers while you review the replays
5:00 - Let me introduce you to Role Queue, been a long time for you not being down here, things have changed my friend!
This guy’s aim is miles above mine... yet we are only 150 sr apart... my guess was 3400!
same definitely better on dps and he is barely above me
me too. i guessed low diamond very early cause the tanks were so poor, but the player is clearly better at dps than me
Anyone notice 27:20 his teammate rein teabagging him lol
What shocks me most about overwatch is how its been out for 4 years and people still dont understand the concept of group up. Blizzard needs to start showing stats so the people who are doing bad can be called out instead of everyone blaming everyone else.
This was a weird one. I started with saying plat after that very first rein charge, but then sty said diamond, and I was like... ya know what that makes sense. The tanks seemed to be trolling hard-core, which looked very intentional. Just going for dem sweet sweet meme plays. Which also made me think, hang on... this could totally be one of those god-tier gold players with the way the tanks are playing. I ended up saying 2600 at the end of it all. Guess I was a wee bit off
Remember, a gold player can queue with a diamond player.. I'm guessing that rein was gold
Being in gold or lower is like having that rein but for more than half your team EVERY game.
This guy really takes "pulsebomb is a throwaway ult" to heart.
7:20 It was color swapped, it switched on the flip of A at 5:20...which is when i began wondering, does it always do that? 9:20 Again, appears linked to changing camera? no hypothesis yet, just observing.
You can get plats in 3.2 or above in diamond if they cue with friends in a group, so if you solo que into a group that group may have lower players if you are higher than them.
i can't play overwatch without a friend because otherwise i get anxiety fml
Ok
its a video game
I’ve just discovered this channel and I love it. Your energy is great
This was a great one. Please tell us all the things you're checking for when you go through them in your head if you can remember to do it. Helps us, but also makes it more entertaining. Great work!
Keep it up Sty! Love this kind of content and of course play along with you! :)
12:22 i loved that sound XD
He was trying to look cool at 9:03 lmao that was definitely not intentional
Sty: Sees a 1 good play
Also Sty: OOOOOHHHHHHH This could be DIAMOND!!
Any chance that we could put the SR of the player at the END of the video? That way the ppl who don’t want to play can just go look for it, but the rest of us don’t have to worry about looking away. Love you Sty
JRPDX thsts a good idea but it’s more work to skip to end than to close ur eyes. if it depends on how many people play along he could do a poll
I hear stuff like "in low ranks they can't pull off these plays" that i see all the time in low ranks. And my idea is that OW matchmaking just forces even matches no matter which SR you're at. I'm at f'n 1800 these days. Used to be plat. Actually improved, only to earn worse matchmaking, it seems. Non stop smurfs on the other team. Sheer potatoes on our team. I don't know. I think the game is screwed and they BETTER have a complete reset and overhaul of the SR and MMR systems for OW2. Could be my imagination, but i've never seen this kind of thing in any other game.
Nope
BroZ Undead yes
Agreed even more so on console.. Especially as dps you can't climb in solo queue or if you queue with friends who are no smurfs
Tracer: hits a 1clip
Sty: OOOOOOHHH this could be diamond ya know :)
You're getting better at judging. I like watching this.
*Falls off the map* Stylosa: HAHAAHHAHAHAHJAJAAJJAAHAHAHAHJAHAHAHAHAHAHAH
While blinking into the void friendly rein charged once again with the other rein into the void
You haven't noticed but Rein charged outside the map again at 5:52 lmaaooo
The new update has made the replay viewer work weirdly. By default, Team 1 is red. However if you spectate a player on Team 2, when you skip through time the colours swap, Team 2 becomes blue and Team 1 is red. If you have Team 2 blue, you can make Team 2 red again by skipping time whilst spectating a member of Team 1 or spectating *nobody at all.* This is what was happening to Sty
Sty: Team one is blue, team two is red. Except when you rewind from a player's POV, then that team is blue. It goes back to left players being blue and right players being red when you rewind from outside a player's POV.
Every time Sty says “WHAT IS HE DOING??!” I get giggly c:
This series is your best content. Keep doing it.
Are we just gonna ignore how right after Tracer fell off the map, the Rein pinned another Rein off map a SECOND time in the kill feed? The guy is sending a message is what he's doing.
SR means nothing at this stage in life of the game. Welcome to ELO Hell, where you're carrying but your team is throwing. Its impossible to climb anymore.
man gets two picks and sty goes “ooooooo could this be diamond?!?”
He's like 80 SR away. It's not a bad guess.
As a 3600 tracer player this guy is no where near master level, every single tracer player 3500+ will be hitting blink melee’s. His 180s were a dead giveaway.
Sometimes that Symmetra teleport works fine in Gold... Me and my friends have done it a few times... But then again it has also failed miserably other times...
The way you call... below average... players plat is an insult to me and anyone stuck in gold
2770 was my guess. This player was quite good - worth the watch. Their SR makes sense.
IDK it looked like those tanks were throwing from the start. im in plat and those tanks don't look like anything I've played with before (besides throwers that is)
Hey that's me! I'm Azoth the hanzo/ soldier on his team lol
Good one Sty. Didn't think this was actually a game of Guess the Color of the Team
the color changes to blue if you start off the game selecting a red hero. however if you've already selected a blue hero and then select a red hero, the colors stay the same. but if you are on a red hero and then rewind or fast forward the clip, it will change to blue. hope that helps. you haven't gone mad haha.
So... Did Sty miss the two Reinhardts falling to their doom after the main player Tracer when he was chewing them out for falling off the map? Surely that would have elicited some reaction :)
since the beginning of the series ive guessed all of the accurate within 20
SR
When the Rein charges off the map I fucking died lmao.
"This type of content inflicts physical pain on me" ... 5 minutes later: "i love it"
=> Sty is a self admited masochist xD
This video should have been titled 'The Tale of Two Reinhardts'
everyone commenting about the video this early (including me) is a clown cuz u havent watched more than 13 minutes of it
Shoot the wall, spray, reload thing is really obnoxious. They're gonna get caught out doing that at some point and get rightfully punished for it.
"I think this player is diamond.. but if that's the case, they shouldn't be with these plat tanks" welcome to my world, won't you come on in
Everyone notices how the color's change from red to blue and blue to red, but no one sees that red players are killing red players 8:03
Seeing Rain charge: bronze
Seeing Torb (the Tracer) aim+move: low masters
Seeing Anna struggle: gold
I went from bronze, through low masters to 2830 Plat. If this guy isn't a smurf, he's in his unlucky elo hell.
1:28 city still more walkable than anywhere in america
never ever is this master, this is a typical more or less frustrating plat game with typical braindead reins :'D
Sty: finally doesn’t put the rank in the title so I can play along
The comment section: *let me fix that*
Sebastian Arguello why the fuck would you expect the comments to not spoil the video you mug
Jeremy Supple bro it’s okay it was a joke 😂 I looked at the comments knowing that would probably happen, it was just a joke 😂
Micheal Saunders bro it’s okay it was a joke 😂 I looked at the comments knowing that would probably happen, it was just a joke 😂
I'm a Plat and I've never suicide charged as Rein before lol
This player is pretty good, movement with tracer was at times a little suspect but his/her aim was really really good for a 2.9k player
