I swear to god, whenever i'm playing as a tank in overwatch and i start focusing orisa i hear flats in my head saying "Stop shooting the horse, stop shooting the horse" 😂😂
This is honestly one of the most frustrating tanks I've seen, in the nicest way possible. You HAVE to fight back at some point, because otherwise you're relying on others to stop the incoming damage for you
@@icecoldpolitics8890well yeah protecting your team is only half your job as a tank the other part is to take space so your team can actually play the game
I have Level 5 endorsement. I play support. It took me a very long time to achieve it. Basically being a good support player can get you it and I know most won't like to hear this but finish your games; win or lose. Endorsement levels can severely decrease if you leave matches especially super early, like as it starts.
whats funny is this guy has been in spectating bronze before as the wholesome hanzo back in ow1, also endorsement level 5 and most playtime in game browser
i am a casual gamer myself, and often meme with teammates in between fights too. that said, i do agree with flats that you should keep your head in the game and stay focused, especially when playing ranked.
One tip is to look past whatever is directly in front of you. You can look past the Orisa. You can look around and find better, easier picks. Only looking at Orisa the entire first point and doing nothing, on second point looking from the junkrat in front of you to the orisa that meets your eyes next doesn't have to happen - look at the Mercy who immediately rezzes as you stop looking.
One of the best things you can learn as a new player trying to get out of gold. Zarya bubbled in front of you? shoot the ones in the back, make them panic, distract for your flankers
That's why I tell people to go to high ground as dps. It's easier to see past the tank and kill people. Sometimes it ends up being kill the tank but for the majority of games killing people behind the tank is the play. Simply playing high ground got me to plat on dps.
This applies to a lot more than just tank, too. I've been playing Hanzo a lot recently and I can't tell you how many easy kills you can get by just shooting beyond what's in front of you. Nobody expects you to go for the stuff standing behind the danger that's actively in your face. Arrge says it best, "It's much harder to kill someone who knows you're trying to kill them." I think this is just the 'bronze tank' syndrome, though, tbh. A lot of bronze tanks seem to think that tanks should just square up against each other, and then everyone else handles everything else.
the entire point of playing tank is to FORCE the enemy to shoot you instead of the backline if you choose to always shoot the tank you are quite literally doing their job for them
Flats, your commentary at 7:00 onwards is fantastic. That is a clean breakdown of what is happening and how it affect their teammates. Its also easy to understand where their issues are and how to correct them. That was some clean style of coaching. Wp sir, we like that shit.
Honestly! I actually learned shit from this vid! Don't get me wrong I learn things from other vids but mostly how to roast people into the ground and blast wicked one liners.
Bruh how are you still bronze? Do you not take the time to actually learn what he's saying? Because it doesn't seem like it. Idk how it's even possible to have such a lack of awareness. I play stoned out of my mind and I have more awareness than you... thats not good man. It's a game of chess. You will forever be bronze if you keep playing without thinking, and just shooting the tank over and over. Going the same way, over and over. Literal insanity. You protect your team by being such a big threat that they can't afford to ignore you. Not by sitting there blocking, hoping someone gets a kill. Stop treating ranked as if its a custom game. You don't sit there emoting and sh*t, you push forward and keep the space you just took. Not wait for them to come take it back.

@tryrestartingit new ppl would harass him because he would make fun of the stuff that goes on in bronze games. It got to the point where it just wasnt fun anymore, so he quit. (I might be wrong, i heard something similar on one of his streams)
Youve reacted to this person before! It was the Level 5 Endorsement Hanzo that said "Im sorry" to their Mercy if you can remember. They still have level 5 endorsement? Thats insane!
Watching bronze roasts like these really points out to me my personal bad habits trying to improve on not punching the horse but sometimes its hard because of not having teammates who are compitent enough to support pushing past the tank
Depends on their positioning and angles. Sometimes your supports can't follow because of their dps. You can a little and come back before you die. During the time you put pressure on their team your dps should be looking to engage on targets you have low or high priority targets and vise versa. Gotta pay attention to where your supports are and know why they are there.
I'll tell you this man. No matter what rank you're at your supports want to heal you. In lower ranks they usually want to heal you too much tot he point where they end up dying for it. If you are aware of where you're supports are positioning from and keep that in mind you will usually be ok. You also have to think about if ou are cycling your defensive cooldowns correctly if you are having a problem with dying when you go agressive.
I remember a few days ago i was playing tank and one of my dps was complaining how i "keep ignoring the other tank" (cause i knew trying to kill a double pocketed punching bag is not the way to go), i go back to check on the replay and i saw him tickling everyone in the enemy team and never commiting to any kill, it was sure an exhausting round since the only ones who got picks where my moira and my hanzo
Main reason zarya is a poorly designed tank. Always 1 teamate who keeps her at 100% all game making her so stong she just walks through the rest of the team like butter
If they are putting pressure on the enemy team but are unable to finish the kill then that's where supports like me come in and keep an eye on the duel to see if we can win those fights. Or depending on the other dps if they are playing dive or flanking a lot.
@@briangreenfield311a good zarya will stand there and make you fight her. If your dps or supports are being pushed by her, her whole play is wait for CDs to pop and use a bubble to counter. That's how you build energy in higher elos.
@@mattiOTX I'm just talking about when I play on my alt in gold to practice heroes. Some idiot always goes bastion and lights zarya up. Zarya is actually pretty easy if all teamates know to just ecnore her
Reminds me of how my team got mad at me in a game we won for not turning around, dropping everything, and killing the rushdown rein 1. My brother in christ I am Sigma and we have two DPS back there, I am not the one that should be dealing with a rushdown Rein especially since I already popped rock specifically ON that rein. 2. I was currently preoccupied with both being the only one pushing multiple times as my team is I don't even know where (pushed bot from center nearly to point one all on my own, backing away foes the whole time until I got the 5 v 1 jump) but at the moment I was currently trying to defend from the entire enemy team outside of the tank I shouldn't be running the ones with at close range anyway. If I turned around the genji was gonna jump me again and taking out a remotely competent genji or tracer with decently slow projectiles or a giant telegraphed death rock is like trying to punch a fly and I know for a fact I couldn't turn around because by the time Ana asked for help I was already dead anyway People need to realize tanks can't do everything at once. They have to serve as the front lines, create space, be prepared to deal with counterpicks since Sym is so detrimental to half of the tank cast that I am trying to pick up a tank to play just to deal with Sym since Sigma aint gonna gaslight, gatekeep, and gravitational flux his way outta that one, and more. Blaming them if a specific person isn't getting killed when you got two dps right there who out damage you and mainly have to worry about getting picks is like blaming a fish for being a slow runner "Oh the enemy mercy only died 6 times this game, Sigma what are you doing?!?" Mercy was around a corner outside of my range the entire time, I was also cycling most my cooldowns to shut down the enemy bastion and keep Orisa at bay since that is the difference between me being melted in .4 seconds and me suddenly doubling my health pool "Oh oh orisa isn't dead, tank focus orisa!" In what world does your tank player focus an orisa and make any progress? "Focus junkrat!" This one wasn't even directed to me in particular they asked the whole team to focus junkrat. I do not know why I just thought it was funny enough to share I am going to be frank. I do deserve flak and lots of it. I am a bronze newbie on Xbox using dorm wifi, I am by definition a shitter. The fact the only tank I really know how to play is Sigma confirms it and the fact I have already gotten that KYS + Uninstall combo for being melted as an Echo on my first comp Echo game doubles it down. However if even I, someone who dies a little every time Sym pulls up and my team ignores them because it means I'm going to have to play a tank I don't know, can see that I am physically not built for a task then what is my team thinking?
it almost feels like this guy was following the OLD old launch ram advice where they always said the nemesis form was for blocking and you were supposed to cycle that with your shield to play very passive poke with the staff
@@CorynFields ball is such a beautifully weird slot in the roster. super high skill expression but generally a solo player on the team in the one role where theres only one of you. i love ball players but it is without a doubt a goofy character. that being said i do think the game needed a shmovement tank and ball fits that niche perfectly
@@GenuineRage methinks 5v5 in itself (not counting other changes) hit him the worst (in the tank category) because of that Too much responsibility for a character that's just chaos incarnate
This player definitely feels like a support main with how passive they play, and how much they try to build a good rapport with their supports so they prioritize healing them. As a fellow support player who knows they're awful at Tank, sometimes you just gotta realize that a certain role isn't going to work with your current playstyle.
I wanna add as an Orisa main in Diamond, It's incredibly annoying as an Orisa player when you try and bar people and control an area... to have the whole enemy team ignore you and walk past you. You do too little damage to go actually kill someone fast enough if that target is being healed, and while you can spin enemies away, you can only pin/stun one target at a time, and when your cooldowns are exhausted due to poor cooldown management, you die VERY fast because you're a massive target as for people going against orisa, Keep track of their cooldowns. and if an orisa use both spin AND fortify together (either bad plays or panicking), shoot literally anyone else for a few seconds and you can immediately delete orisa afterwards
Now I'm a noob but ive been using his shield primarily to redirect, hit the vortex and try to pick them off with the staff. Nemesis ive only been using for the squishies. Pissed off alot of Widows with that barrier
As someone who recently started to play Ram and is having a great time with pretty good matches, I have to say: Nemesis is likely the most important part of your kit and you should use it often. DPS got too close? Nemesis. Need to finish someone off, but you ran out of ammo? Nemesis (your normal weapon is also reloaded every time you go into Nemesis and back). Got yourself in a bad situation? Nemesis + block and get back to your support. Of course, you have to be careful and pay attention to your cooldown, but it's important to use Nemesis in a lot of situations. Using it or not can be the difference between wiping a team or allowing yours to be wiped, in some situations. Also, at least in low rank and QP, most people tend to panic when you go Nemesis on their face. Now, I should mention I'm more of a casual player, so maybe my advice isn't that good. However, this has been my experience playing Ram.
This is the bronze tank that bronze supports clamor about wanting. Not moving, soaking damage, doing absolutely nothing risky and staying right in front of the supports the entire time so they can pump their numbers up. I can't even call this playing the game really, you're just a passive entity. The Orisa in this video was actually being aggressive, perhaps overly, and it was working out far better for them.
When climbing the metal ranks it almost always benefits you to yolo/play over aggressive on tank because the enemy team likely has zero idea how to deal with it. Nothing worse than a tank that sits in the choke treading water, and it's an issue even at higher ranks. It's sad that this "bronze" gameplay looks like over half the tanks I get paired with in Diamond 3.
Keep your crosshair at whatever the head height is of your own character and adjust to fit to the target, thats what i basically do, after years of high level cs, that stuff is drilled to the deepest depths of my brain lmao
Fr, it was a severe habit of mine to keep crosshairs aimed down cause of years of console gaming. After playing PC and in turn CS that shit just doesn't fly, honestly hurts more to see that than how poor the game sense is.
Dang! Flats has that NVIDIA sponsor baby! It's kind of wild some people don't know about all the low latency options in games and settings on your pc. My GPU never has any load on it just my poor 3800x struggling its little ass off lol
This match up has been the bane of my existence as a Ram main lately. I avoid the orisa till she uses cooldowns, but half the time she just wipes my team and then even after I kill 3 by avoiding her I don’t have the support to kill her after. It’s tough. She is the worst tank to play against cause almost every ability can move and push you in ways you cannot fight against. It’s not fun to play into at all.
try to go alternative routes that gives you direct acces to the enemy backline or wait until the enemy walks right into your crosslines,until then poke. if you do this even on rein you will be able to destroy the enemy team.
In a tank off, Orisa is just not someone you can fight. It isn't even someone you SHOULD be fighting. Orisa won't kill you with her damage but you for sure won't kill Orisa if her healers are good enough. Learned this a hard way when I got stuck in a position as Sig against an Orisa with her healers out of range of my death balls and had most of the enemy team firing upon me. Luckily this was quick play and I had just got the game so I ALSO couldn't die thanks to the enemy Bastion filling my black hole with lead every time without fail and I had enough knowledge of cooldown cycling with that to ALSO be immortal... but I couldn't kill anyone or push into the wider area alone and the enemies couldn't kill me Now normally this is where the other 3 members of your team comes in, helps to get the picks you can't or at least cause enough damage to force the enemies to move back so you can gain ground My teammates managed to get zero kills that entire game. I do not know how. I was against the entire enemy team and I never saw them so I can only assume they were flanking the turretless torb and either getting deleted by that, getting sniped by illari, or bastion peaked back into the flank route after filling up my healthbar and killed them all. All I know is that I ended the game with the best K/D ratio of 0 0 and my entire team didn't even exist. It was a confusing introduction to playing Sigma
How to play ram: It's lunch time, and you got ham sandwiches. You make sure everyone on the other team gets all the ham sandwiches they can eat, until they pass out. When you see a hanzo or mercy, they're small..they don't need much to get full. You go over there, and paunch, I mean give them their sandwiches until they take a nap. Edit: also Im getting vanilla wow tank vibes. Let me look at the floor until I get to where I am going. Gotta keep my threat up.
I know you are not using this for teaching, but I am new to ramatra and I got a lot of good stuff from watching this video. As I do from your other videos too.
office monitor here 1900x1200 24 inch and yes it goes to 75hz but usually play at 60 or lower due to the big screentear at 60 - tis happened when i tried custom 60hz setting to about 95hz -climed to gold 2 from bronze 4 in one setting so this is how much the net or whatever matters - I didnt cange mousesetting since the mouse feels much faster , but thats how PC works ,old facts -I dont enjoy it at all and cant hits as fps but i can heal
similar to the shield health when playing rein or sigma. AS a tank you should think about your HP the same way. you shouldn't be scared to lose 50% in a fight if you have escapes to use to get out
To be fair, this is how 75% of the tanks play in Diamond 3, they completely tunnel vision the enemy tank, ignore the Mercy rezzing right in front of them 3 feet away as an easy pick and instead keep going after the enemy tank with zero awareness.

This guy could benefit from turning his sensitivity up by like 2
If this ram punch the enemies as much as my dad punch me, they would be able to climb to gm
This player definitely feels like a support main with how passive they play, and how much they try to build a good rapport with their supports so they prioritize healing them. As a fellow support player who knows they're awful at Tank, sometimes you just gotta realize that a certain role isn't going to work with your current playstyle.
the irony is they're a Hanzo main
I wanna add as an Orisa main in Diamond, It's incredibly annoying as an Orisa player when you try and bar people and control an area... to have the whole enemy team ignore you and walk past you. You do too little damage to go actually kill someone fast enough if that target is being healed, and while you can spin enemies away, you can only pin/stun one target at a time, and when your cooldowns are exhausted due to poor cooldown management, you die VERY fast because you're a massive target
as for people going against orisa, Keep track of their cooldowns. and if an orisa use both spin AND fortify together (either bad plays or panicking), shoot literally anyone else for a few seconds and you can immediately delete orisa afterwards
One of my favorite series on UA-cam l
Man got a quality 4 item in that advertisement
I actually didn't know what level 5 endorsement looked like
Awesome content, please do more of these! This's so helpful and you explain so good, thank you!
Flats low key saying he's bad at chess; "it's boring". Okay, Buddy.
Now I'm a noob but ive been using his shield primarily to redirect, hit the vortex and try to pick them off with the staff. Nemesis ive only been using for the squishies. Pissed off alot of Widows with that barrier
As someone who recently started to play Ram and is having a great time with pretty good matches, I have to say: Nemesis is likely the most important part of your kit and you should use it often. DPS got too close? Nemesis. Need to finish someone off, but you ran out of ammo? Nemesis (your normal weapon is also reloaded every time you go into Nemesis and back). Got yourself in a bad situation? Nemesis + block and get back to your support.
Of course, you have to be careful and pay attention to your cooldown, but it's important to use Nemesis in a lot of situations. Using it or not can be the difference between wiping a team or allowing yours to be wiped, in some situations. Also, at least in low rank and QP, most people tend to panic when you go Nemesis on their face.
Now, I should mention I'm more of a casual player, so maybe my advice isn't that good. However, this has been my experience playing Ram.
*YOU MUST LEARN TO BLOCK, BROTHER!*
This is the bronze tank that bronze supports clamor about wanting. Not moving, soaking damage, doing absolutely nothing risky and staying right in front of the supports the entire time so they can pump their numbers up. I can't even call this playing the game really, you're just a passive entity. The Orisa in this video was actually being aggressive, perhaps overly, and it was working out far better for them.
When climbing the metal ranks it almost always benefits you to yolo/play over aggressive on tank because the enemy team likely has zero idea how to deal with it. Nothing worse than a tank that sits in the choke treading water, and it's an issue even at higher ranks. It's sad that this "bronze" gameplay looks like over half the tanks I get paired with in Diamond 3.
ANOTHER FLATS SPECTATING I missed these 😭
Keep your crosshair at whatever the head height is of your own character and adjust to fit to the target, thats what i basically do, after years of high level cs, that stuff is drilled to the deepest depths of my brain lmao
Fr, it was a severe habit of mine to keep crosshairs aimed down cause of years of console gaming.
After playing PC and in turn CS that shit just doesn't fly, honestly hurts more to see that than how poor the game sense is.
The controller aim was truly rough to watch lol
I watched this video, queued tank, went 38 and 17. Awesome advice!
Love seeing this content, great to just get some solid advice on playing tank
Ngl, I have flats and this series to thank for how I went from bronze 5 to gold 3 in 3 seasons. I learned what not to do because of it lol
I play Ramattra completely different and shoot the squishys because you're gonna get a few kills per game when you focus on the tank 90% of the time
Best tank tutorial ive ever seen 😂 major words of wisdom here
We love seeing Mr. Strimmer with sponsors
One thing that really pisses me off with this game is the random settings that are only pc. If only I could remove clutter on xbox
21:39 ok i watching this for rama tips but after hearing this shit im honestly subscribing cuz thats mad funny
Why did he sound like a dad teaching a child to swim when he said “DONT BE AFRAID”
It’s a dude that stays all day in the “just chill” lobby 😭
No one believes me when I say Rammatra is just Old Orisa but better
THE POKEMON COLOSSEUM MUSIC!!!!!! Such an underrated game
His orisa senses were definitely tingling
Love these videos
More Lifeweavers need to passive aggressively pull their team into better positions.
I play a lot of Rammatra and my mentality is "The LAST person I need to focus on is the Tank"
Actually a helpfull spectating bronze, id like to see more of this
Dang! Flats has that NVIDIA sponsor baby! It's kind of wild some people don't know about all the low latency options in games and settings on your pc. My GPU never has any load on it just my poor 3800x struggling its little ass off lol
It’s Nyanzo!! Isn’t this the same person who was a level 5 endorsed Hanzo from a year or two back?
Yeah I’m the ground team Hanzo main he saw back then lol
Good morning Flats!
hmmmmmmmmmmmmm jamming to nice persona music i see specalist
As a new player dabbling in Tank, this is very educational and a confidence booster because I at least have better target priority.
Jusr another tip for Ram. When in the punch form and you have ult, cancel your punch before popping ult, otherwise you're wasting valuable shield.
Soldier was like. “I got it” 😂
Lets be honest... He was memeing to flirt with the lifeweaver...which i don't blame him with that skin. 😅
We're punching the horse on this one
watching this because the hard stuck diamond 1 needs tips from flats for ram lol
I’ve learned some important shit about this game, never punch the horse
Feel like the lifeweaaver was throwing them off at some points and stopping them from killing
As soon as I heard good morning UA-cam I almost cried it's been to long
The DougDoug 12 month sub alert music at the start caught me off guard (yes i know that's persona music)
The level 5 endorsement is so beautiful
flats everything you say in your videos critiquing people I listen because you actually know what you're doing
I’m honestly very curious what his favorite so workshop gamemodes are my man’s like Gordon Ramsay going “finally some good fucking game modes”
The Ad Voice is fantastic
This match up has been the bane of my existence as a Ram main lately. I avoid the orisa till she uses cooldowns, but half the time she just wipes my team and then even after I kill 3 by avoiding her I don’t have the support to kill her after. It’s tough. She is the worst tank to play against cause almost every ability can move and push you in ways you cannot fight against. It’s not fun to play into at all.
Also the enemy tank swaps to her instantly upon losing 1 team fight, almost every game in Diamond this happens, lol.
try to go alternative routes that gives you direct acces to the enemy backline or wait until the enemy walks right into your crosslines,until then poke.
if you do this even on rein you will be able to destroy the enemy team.
In a tank off, Orisa is just not someone you can fight. It isn't even someone you SHOULD be fighting. Orisa won't kill you with her damage but you for sure won't kill Orisa if her healers are good enough.
Learned this a hard way when I got stuck in a position as Sig against an Orisa with her healers out of range of my death balls and had most of the enemy team firing upon me. Luckily this was quick play and I had just got the game so I ALSO couldn't die thanks to the enemy Bastion filling my black hole with lead every time without fail and I had enough knowledge of cooldown cycling with that to ALSO be immortal... but I couldn't kill anyone or push into the wider area alone and the enemies couldn't kill me
Now normally this is where the other 3 members of your team comes in, helps to get the picks you can't or at least cause enough damage to force the enemies to move back so you can gain ground
My teammates managed to get zero kills that entire game. I do not know how. I was against the entire enemy team and I never saw them so I can only assume they were flanking the turretless torb and either getting deleted by that, getting sniped by illari, or bastion peaked back into the flank route after filling up my healthbar and killed them all. All I know is that I ended the game with the best K/D ratio of 0 0 and my entire team didn't even exist. It was a confusing introduction to playing Sigma
How to play ram: It's lunch time, and you got ham sandwiches. You make sure everyone on the other team gets all the ham sandwiches they can eat, until they pass out. When you see a hanzo or mercy, they're small..they don't need much to get full. You go over there, and paunch, I mean give them their sandwiches until they take a nap.
Edit: also Im getting vanilla wow tank vibes. Let me look at the floor until I get to where I am going. Gotta keep my threat up.
Yea ham sanvich!!
15:07 , I get his point but I also think this is super funny. This is overwatch, your not supposed to have fun
"chess is kinda a turn ur brain off deal"
As a gm lucio meme as much as possible between team fights
I know you are not using this for teaching, but I am new to ramatra and I got a lot of good stuff from watching this video. As I do from your other videos too.
Me out here in gold watching people do in bronze what I do I hold. How the duck have I managed to start and stay in gold my entire comp career. 😂
office monitor here 1900x1200 24 inch and yes it goes to 75hz but usually play at 60 or lower due to the big screentear at 60 - tis happened when i tried custom 60hz setting to about 95hz -climed to gold 2 from bronze 4 in one setting so this is how much the net or whatever matters - I didnt cange mousesetting since the mouse feels much faster , but thats how PC works ,old facts -I dont enjoy it at all and cant hits as fps but i can heal
Shooting the junkrat when they weren’t fully back yet instead of the mercy gave me a headache 😭
similar to the shield health when playing rein or sigma. AS a tank you should think about your HP the same way. you shouldn't be scared to lose 50% in a fight if you have escapes to use to get out
Man i love this game
flats just said you turn your brain off when you play chess
To be fair, this is how 75% of the tanks play in Diamond 3, they completely tunnel vision the enemy tank, ignore the Mercy rezzing right in front of them 3 feet away as an easy pick and instead keep going after the enemy tank with zero awareness.
Yeah, that Ana being behind the point and not being noticed was tragic
He's playing tank the way metal rank players think tank should be played
I feel weird when flats is nice, like super nice in this clip
