It’s really interesting to watch the enemy tanks repeatedly switch heroes in an effort to counter your Zarya, yet continue making the same fundamental mistakes which causes them to lose still. Excellent video, A10!

hehe i had same, they were swaping rein, junker queen, orisa, all failed :D in plat all saying tank diff. But nice insights on how to rotate with zarya

You deserve so much more love, this was insanely entertaining. Love you A10!!

That Kings Row game around 1:30:00 mark proved you’re the best Zarya to ever do it. Sealed it for me

these are always really informative and you provide great guides. i'd love to see a junker queen version if at all possible 😄

This is the video i was waiting for! short packed full with info since recently ive been playing zarya alot lately im a support ana main so this is very refreshing

great vid again a10. always with the best educational content

This video has been a big help so far! I’m trying to main her and this has helped me along the way so far

Man you do this so well, I do a lot of what you are talking about in the beginning ( 3 minutes ish) I haven’t figured out how to not rely on my team and tend to get over anxious and overextend.

As I watch this in steps, it’s turning out to be an incredibly useful video - I can’t wait to start getting A10 coaching.

another big and simple tip from a diamond player: Typically each route or push an enemy team tries to make almost always, by map design, leaves another angle open to take an advantage from. This is especially useful for flank characters. as SOON as a team commits to a route, instantly recognize what route is the flank route. Being able to easily get behind the team in any situation this way. Even if you dont team wipe, the value of getting healers or tanks to turn around and look at you is huge. especially against reinhardt Edit: once you find your flank, also always mentally note your escape route. You won't get value as a flanker if you die. period. Routes also almost always include health kits, so note those too and you'll stay alive much longer. You'll start to note these t hings automatically over time.

Best thing is this also works for support aswell. Lets say tank isn't that good you can take pressure off them by playing from a good position and the enemies might mess up and chase you into your team and die

By far the most useful and informative zarya guide ive watched. Thank you

Subbed for the analytic, strategic commentary 🔥🔥🔥

If there was ever a unranked to GM series that deserve to put "Educational" on the title, it's this. Holy moly A10, I feel my brain grew 3 times larger 1 hour in, if this keeps up I'm going OWL by the end of this XD

That first game is a mood. when i was ranking up playing ranked for the first time it took me so long to get out of gold last season, then i just sprinted through plat in 10 games

This is the most effective guide for me, thanks!

Hey man, love the videos, content is super good and informational keep going !! Would you consider doing other UR2GM with different hero styles like Pharah, Cassidy, supports / other tanks ?

A10 could do a new one of these everyday and I’d eat it up every time. I like how he does a better job of explaining basic techniques to help you win. A lot of high level players will do unranked to GMs and just say stuff like “damage, damage, damage”. Basically saying just have insane mechanical ability. But don’t explain things like LoS, proper cool down usage, and the dynamics of when to give and when to take space. Love it.

I'm barely starting out in OW2, but I've already learned so much from your guides. Obviously I won't be playing ranked yet, but it's good to know how the whole system works.

@sootyb6771

Change this mentality a little though. Don’t be scared of ranked. Learn in ranked. You don’t have to climb, there is no obligation :)

The way you talk about space is very validating to me I just got back into it and people will flame me for pushing up on enemies on attack after we wipe them and I’m like yeah I could stand on cart but maybe someone else can push it while I stall them so you don’t even get to see the enemy and people will get so mad about it it’s crazy

I'm already enjoying this and I'm 2 minutes in, even though this is 9 months old this info still applies.

The mother duck literally blew my mind away…that makes so much sense!

quick question, just had a game one esperança were the enemies were always taking the hg in the middle of the map with the 2spawn I tried to deny it but my team was not with me in this situation should I give this whole hg ? cause then it's a pocketed bastion on the hg and my team in the open

I was playing zarya recently in a low elo, I haven't played more than 30 comp games of tank in 2 years, and I somehow had the intuition to kind of ignore their tank and walk on their backline if possible. I thought I was making a mistake, but it somehow kept working. I climbed from silver 4 to plat 3 in a week. I know I have a ton to work on and I have to be a lot smarter to continue climbing, but I'm glad I had some intuition... at least for one tank.

I like when A10 said that players were better in OW1, cuz the 6v6 format, almost made you learn game sense and how the ebb and flow works. Now you can just pop off and climb, I'm in masters in OW2 and they do not feel like master games from OW1

This man's content don't miss

i was on like a losing streak and after listening you talk about the basics i got a lot better and saved my derank i am a ball player

Yessss thank u very much! Keep it up

The most important thing I learned from this is that I am a duckling and my tank is mother. jk though, amazing tips and thought process as usual!

I am interested in Junker Queen, but don't really play the tank role. Do you mind doing an educational unranked to GM with her?

32:48 that bug where hanzo has immo but there is no lamp is annoying af

Yo a10 I have a question. I watch a lot of awkwards teaching too and he says that u should always do damage before the fight cause if you hide you are missing out on value, dmg and give some free space to the enemy tank. But I see you preach to wait and go get the little ducks while you hide. What are your thoughts about that? Cause I love you both but I’m a bit confused it seems like you preach the opposite things and it both works so 😂

I don't play OW anymore, but I keep watching your videos. They are super entertaining, and educating. I feel like I am better at OW, without playing it (probably not, I must be garbage by now).

Masters 3 to gm 2 is a WHOLE rank up. Insane bro

Winston/Zarya main, definitely watching this through

Would you be open to code submissions to react and maybe give advice to? By no means do I think I'm a zarya of your caliber, but I'm high diamond support and masters 4 dps, and my tank (maining zarya) is sitting at plat 2. Just wanna improve. Thanks for the content!

I liked some of this advice but it has not worked at all for me so idk. Everything he demonstrated is not how any of my games have gone. IF I as the tank try to flank my team gets killed by the enemy tank. How do I deal with that?

A10 uploads an unranked to GM, I CLICK

when i play Zarya its feels i have half your range with the beam... its strange

Even though i dont play OW2 this video was still very entertaining to watch while practicing in tekkken :)

You have a very different style than awkwards zarya but just as effective

Thank you A10!

Great vid

i think im good as a gm5 zarya main but youre just on a whole different level man well played

Would be REALLY nice to see how A10 Zarya works against this new META with Mauga. He seems so strong, especially with a Sojourn, Mei, Ana, Kiriko. Can Zarya work?

maybe i need coaching because i feel like im always trying so hard and i dont know what to do when it feels like my team, if im away for like a second, they int and die

excellent as always! now we need a Ramattra video❤

Don't let Super catch you doing this...

how much does coaching cost

A10 man you just randomly went up on my youtube, and i heard your voice in the background... i was like oh wait i recognize this voice and then i remember we played alot of games together in ow1.. goddamn youve grown and ive not subbed too you yet so here i go!!! i dont think you will remember me but i remember on specific fun game we had together when i was on my ana grind on route66 where we talked about you having your own emote in Kabajis chat.

Yep, the first game already sums up my experience playing Zarya this season in gold/plat. I feel like I can't carry my team against Rein a lot of the time, especially if my team is throwing. Crazy how Rein is beefy and can deny me so easy by simply holding the shield. If I can't play around him I'm switching to DVA/Ram now depending on my supports, already tried to force Zarya but I gave up. Unfortunately Rein is everywhere now. Even worse is when I'm popping off and they swap to Rein to counter me and ruin my fun 😩
