Man, I didnt even think this could be someone's first video until you said it at the end. You're very well-articulated and you seem to know damn well what you're talking about. I hope you make it big, my guy!

Big tip to rank up: Don't use chat. If you don't use the chat (text and coms) you have a statistically higher chance for teammates to not throw. Not huge odds, just 4x the likelihood your teammates don't sell. In inverse is true, don't start talking, if you do you will have 4x more bad teammates Edit: Overall this guy has good advice, the only thing to add that nobody talks about is how long it will take to rank up. Each rank is a learning experience so don't worry about anything other than being a better player

true vids to rank up are a10

There’s a HUGE issue in low ranks that you didn’t hit on. Something I’ve noticed in plat and below is people hold ults for 5-10 minutes or never use it the WHOLE game (I’ve seen that so much). Another thing they do with ults is they stack all the ults, and when one person ults then EVERYONE ults. These aren’t things I see happening once in a while it’s every single match. So many winnable games and team fights are lost because people just hold their ults, which can make it hard to rank up. I remember what helped me get to diamond back in OW1 was watching top 500 streamers and I noticed they would ult as soon as they were able to get value out of it. I used to play a lot of Zarya and enjoyed watching Harbleu. What I noticed was as soon as he got grav he would immediately chuck it and get kills. I implemented this into my gameplay and noticed that you can create an aggressive perpetual ult cycle where you do lots of damage/get kills, build ult, use it, and do it again (or using support ults to save someone or the whole team) Not saying that as soon as your ult hits 100% you should use it, but you should use it right away if you can secure at least 1 kill, bait out an ult, create space, etc. It’s pretty situational but you shouldn’t be holding ults the whole match, always try to use them as soon as you can.

@prismaticpaul

Ай бұрын

the stacking ults part is so true. I played some dps this comp season (only like 12 games lol but hey), and if i notice our team use 3 or even 4 ults i'll hold mine. I play echo and torb, torb ult on its own can be very good (i use it to zone people off of kitsune for example), and an echo copy at the right moment can turn a fight or end it early, even. No need to use more ults if you're in a 5v2 and winning by a landslide. I'm guilty of holding ults sometimes though. Mostly why i do this is because in some games my teammates just get picked off before i get in position so my ult won't be very impactful now, but i admit i sometimes lose patience instead of waiting for my team to regroup once again, because sitting on an ult and not using it feels so awful.

@STartist.

Yeah unfortunately low ranked players can't even conceptualize tracking enemy or even team ult percentages much less min maxing ults and ult fights by cycling them efficiently.

I mean he didn't touch on it specifically but I think that falls under the idea of "what mistakes can I make less of" and "what can I do better" and also the idea of learning better mechanics . as you rank up you will start getting lobbies where you will start seeing different strats and your game sense improves as you go up

@BellaOfTheBrawl

Ай бұрын

​@@STartist.I play in silver and players are capable of tracking ults. What they struggle with is knowing what to do with that information, planning, and properly executing it. You can call out "Reaper has ult" all day long. You and half your team will probably still die to blossom, because no one actually knows how to follow up and hopes someone else will just kill Reaper or Reaper will waste it. That's the real problem in lower ranks, not the tracking part.

@jimjimsauce

true. i’m a lucio main and when i get beat i usually try to offset my ult to save them for when my team inevitably does what you stated. but ive noticed after i started doing that, my teammates acknowledge it so much more. i think not only does it help in a game sense but it’s a morale booster as well

Thank you for this! I've only been playing "fps" games for about a year now, and have only been playing Overwatch for 3-4 months. I've been wanting to try out Ranked, but the tip videos and misery I've seen of it keeps psyching me out of even trying. This is way more motivational than any other video on the topic I've ever seen.

Honestly, great video. Earned a sub. Can’t stand all these people who have been top of the leaderboards since the beginning of OW1 (who the comp system basically just carries from season to season) basically just insulting lower ranks with no help to improve.

Yo I always liked consuming educational Overwatch content so I've known mostly everything you've gone over but these are by far the MOST important and useful tips I've gathered! Fire video man.

Genuinely the best rank-up video I have seen on KZread. I myself am working on making it to high masters low gm. I started around the same time you did and was hard stuck bronze for my first year. Overtime I have improved peaking at masters 4 and working my way towards GM. I have also shared my experiences on KZread and methods I've used throughout climbing through every rank below masters, NONE of which are as good as this video. I look forward to seeing more of your content in the future!

it’s been about a week since i saw this video. right after i did i changed my dpi and sense settings and at first it did seem really slow, but even as a lucio main i had someone on the other team say “is the lucio exploiting?” yesterday while i was on 20-2 tear on Numbani. MY AIM IS SO GOOD NOW THANK YOUUUUUU

I'm glad I took the chance to look at this video, while there are some points that get repeated often by others, its the way it was said and presented that made it easier to understand exactly what to do :D Thanks for the vid!

This was very well done and most informative. And this is your First Video! A-mei-zing!

For you first video this was insanely knowledgeable and helpful thanks

I refuse to climb up

Great video! :D I agree and also think one of the best tips truly is to stop caring about rank and just focus on self improvement! Some of my friends just stress so much about winning or losing that their mentality is ruined and make them lose more games eeven if they do not realize it

what a great video. i’ve felt like i’ve been stuck in elo hell, and this was the first video that ACTUALLY HELPS and explains how to do things, rather than just give generic garbage that we all know 😅 “get good aim” like i know, but you actually show HOW to get better aim. very great video, you deserve more exposure. keep it up

Actually just great advice that isn't the usual trite high level players spew. Keep it up man, looking forward to seeing what other vids you produce

Watching replays really helped me a lot I tend to overextend and just get blown up.went from gold 3 to diamond 4 by just seeing my mistakes

I got this video show up on my recommendation yesterday and really loved EVERYTHING you said in it. I think there was a video that a youtuber made. I can't remember the name off the top of my head where he was talking about toxicity, I think it was a stylosa video. But that video really help me be less toxic, cause I get mad when we lose. Then in the video they mention, why are you getting angry at a video game for losing? You aren't enjoying it. It helped out a lot. I started to not really care about losing but it sometimes gets to me and I take a break.

this is the exact type of advice that took me from silver to diamond in one season! great videos :) now, to masters!

This is some great quality for your first ever video keep up the good work ❤

this might be the best how to get better video i have ever seen I'm on my way to diamond and have already ranked up 3 times in plat after half a week

thank you dude , this video really helped me a lot

Great tip about comms. Team morale is so important in this game, and it’s okay to be frustrated. But there are positive ways to vent to your team/ seek solutions to any problems arising. Also props to JQ gameplay as a JQ onetrick lol.

I really like this video, feels like the boot up the arse I needed to realise it was my own complacency rather than teammates that was preventing me from improving as a player. I've got the potential to be better than I am, just was focusing my attention toward the wrong things.

Excellent advice. And a key point you alluded to is patience. One mistake I made was playing lot's of QP but only maybe a dozen or so ranked games per season. And while I never had huge expectations, starting off at bronze 5, yeah... was a bit of an ego blow. Coupled with seeing an abnormal amount of games, as you noted, where I'd have leavers or throwers was discouraging. But it is indeed a numbers game. Certainly I've improved over time, but the biggest difference I've had in the last 2 seasons is actually playing ranked games more often. I went from barely seeing sliver (sometimes) in the first 8 seasons, to rapidly climbing in gold with plat looking very attainable, just by keeping cool and persisting.

im returning to ow, was gm in s5 and most of my career and im trying to relearn the game and god i make some mistakes old me would scream at. this really helped my mental i havent been the best teammate ngl. thank you cant wait for my content brother

I started playing OW2 in season 2. In my first ever season I was plat. By season 7 i hit GM1 and I currently sit comfortably in T500 after 700 hours on the game. I agree with your point that anyone can rank up if they commit to improving. I have never been mechanically gifted at any fps I’ve played but mastering the fundamentals helped me a lot. Things like positioning, ult usage, crosshair placement, decision making, etc are simple things that make a big difference over time.

That was f@cking amzing for a first you tube video 😂good shit👏

thank you so much you've earned a sub and inspired me to try my best no matter what!

Best part of this video is that it works for any competitive game not just overwatch

From a person that hops every year to a different compeitive game. This is a really good guide what is realistic. I see many video without good information. But this is really straight forward and good everything what the problem is you solve it with this video. You can implement this every rank and every comp game. [So not only Overwatch 2]

Thanks very much pal, idk how you dont have more subscribers cus youre very cool

This is great. I hate that i’m a console player but these tips still pertain. Ty!

Hey, I love the video! I’m going through the same journey here as well. Went from bronze to diamond and looking to push into masters here soon!

Great points made, will deliver this to my duo.

Top tier content! Definately deserves more views.

The mood thing for sure is true. When i actually tried to rank up I was calling shots and setting a good mood and that got me to high masters on all my roles relatively quickly in one season. When i saw my first GM's and t500 instead of getting intimidated because of some dumb rank i just took it less serious and not making a big deal out of it. Mindset can greatly improve your performances.

Amazing video you just earned a loyal subscriber

Absolutely amazing video, awesome tips that will help me, i think the problem with me loosing is there's a lot of toxicity that will make me negative and also skill lol., but i think this will really help me to improve and soon i will get out of silver lmao and get to Plat, But i think i might follow your tip and dont give a sht about rank but only getting better at the game so thanks bro and keep up the good work, your a legend that will go big one day.,

My anxiety prevents me from playing comp a lot but I managed to place on all three rolls. My best roll currently is silver 1 tank and I'm about 2 games away from hitting gold 5 but man I'm trying to get back in there to play more but I'm terrified to disappoint my team! Sorry for the rant and getting personal but I wanted to share my experiences and I plan on playing comp tonight using these tips! Awesome video and I can't wait to see more!

Simply amazing content. Thanks!!!

Great video. When I was a teenager I did sports shooting and it taught me a lot about questioning myself to improve. You will always be your own enemy, and even if you have the game mechanics, it is your mind that can work against you. At the shooting range, they said "the most important bullet is the one you are going to shoot"

New subsciber. Great vid. It's weird for me it seems what I've learned is difficult sometimes to put into practice I guess. I've been learning from Spilo and TooAwkward. And I know Damage, Damage, Damage, cover, Positioning, looking around constantly, and shooting from cover, and flanking. There are matches ideal with where the other 4 just feed, and never group up. There will be lobbies you can't win. Like if someone leaves the match on your team. which statistic your chances go lower. But you win the ones your supposed to.

I love the intro your too much fw this content and thanks for the help.

The thing about your attitude in boice is so true literally yesterday I had a bad game and got a bit tilted and yhe next game I played had a palyer in comms with a good moral and my mental improved so much.

Great video, and I agree with pretty much everything you said. I'm one of those players who thinks they deserve a higher rank. In my case, it's because I play ~12 competitive games per season (if that). I know that this will limit me, and I accept it. It also throws off the calculations you made in terms of probability in the fact that the percentage affected by any throwers/leavers will be higher (I went 8-2 on tank, placed in Plat 5 then my next three games were: leaver, flame-in-text-chat instead of playing and then a thrower. Back to gold with me!). I'm thinking of grinding ranked a bit over the summer holidays (I'm at university so don't have a machine to play on in term time) to see just how far I can climb. I'm hoping low masters but I'll settle for diamond. Congrats on the climb!

I know already what my mistake was watching this video... had to watch it multiple times because the JK skin+ gold weapon just looks so damn hypnotizing 😂😂 in all seriousness marvelous video!

Hey, nice video! You should make a vid about the best heroes to learn for each role to have a good basis for every map.

As an oldhead veteran who has done the same climb as you,, this is all PARAMOUNT advice!!

Random tip: DPI affects input lag. A higher DPI = lower input lag, although resulting in diminishing returns with higher DPI values. for best results, use a DPI of 3200. 3200 DPI results in a significant reduction in latency compared to 800 DPI.

Good Video, i have always told ppl if they are stuck they belong there. I am a plat tank since OW2 dropped. I was diamond when i played OW1 but that was before role q was introduced. And I think OW2 gave me 2 resets. I only played season 1 (placed silver went up to plat ez) And now season 9 placed low gold easily went up to plat again. So if you dont belong in a rank you will definetly move up. I also always notice the change in the ranks. I mainly play winston and where in silver and gold you can just freely move around in plat you will get punished more. If i wanted to put in the time i probably could back to diamond again like in OW1 but i just dont want tryhard that much and rather stay in ranks where i can make mistakes :D

This guy is giving good information. A few things that miss from the vid would be that meta doesn't matter up until mid gm. I got gm5 onetricking doom in season 5 back when orisa illiari was meta. Meta is useless until very high up in the ranks. Another thing would be if you don't even know a mistake exists watching coaches could help. The one I learned from is Spilo. Very high quality advice. He worked with the london spitfire as their coach for a long time. He has 2 channels, spilo and spilo 2. His main channel is more general stuff that can be applied to all roles, or certain roles and life advice and his second channel is full vods. Highly recommend his content. That's how I got gm.

meta does matter. you reached gm onetricking because your mechanical skill is higher than the teams you’re against. players of the same skill bracket going against eachother but one uses meta and one doesn’t will result in the latter losing. or struggling to win badly.

amazing keep it up, I was surprised to see how low the views were hope I can help

Ive got 7 accounts for playing with friends or learning new shit, from plat to Gm2 in s9. Knowing how each rank plays is HUGE. I found myself occasionally feeding in games where i was far and away the strongest individual on the map, because I was running dives like I was in my own MMR. The people I played with just couldn't make decisions and take initiative fast enough to join me, and no one 1v5s . One small adjustment and I had 3 games in a row without a single death as ball Another big one is speed and pacing is everything, making a decision quickly, be it right or wrong. Dont ever let the enemy do what they want to do

I just don't have the time to climb. And low Elo games can often really fuck with your mindset. Even if your good the plays you can do are completely different between a silver lobby and a master lobby. And i KNOW this. My main has be low rank for absolute ages. At first i probably just sucked. But i also just never spent very long trynna rank up. When i actually play overwatch. I often go up atleast one rank every time (Silver2-1 type thing. Not Silver-Gold). Like 80% of the time. I am Silver across everything on my MAIN. However. A little while ago. I made an alt account. Cus I was sick of low elo games. And guess what happened? I placed plat in tank and support. MASTER in DPS. And I'm average in the master games. Above average in the other categories. (Got unlucky with placements. Which as has been shot to death as a topic matters way too much to what rank you can get unless you wanna spend months climbing. And to answer the obvious question of "Oh why havn't you just climbed then should be easy" First off. HAHAHA no. Even if you play out of your mind Your either gonna be doing your own thing and doing work while your team dies around you cus your not holding their hand. Or your too busy holding their hand and trynna deal with all THEIR problems to actually handle the enemy. I could not tell you how many times i have flanked the enemy at the beginning of a team battle. Killed like three of them from 100-0 no help. Looked over at the final two and see all my team dead and i get killed. Its actually infuriating. Plus. I do climb. 70-80 Win streak generally. But at even that win rate. Bro i don't wanna play like 10-20 games a day for a whole week just to go up ONE full rank. And good lord do i NEVER wanna do that for a whole month just to get into my actual area. At this point my main is jsut for fuckin around and having fun with friends while my alt is where i take comp seriously. Cus I am actually in a rank around my skill level. (Though good lord do my teammates still sometimes make me feel like I'm in bronze. I swear half the time the only diff between bronze and plat is how much people are screaming in VC :/ and its more at the plat end.
