And its so annoying, the same thing all the way up to diamond. Ive even see spidermans do it too. Absent the whole game and the next thing you hear is "dont mess with the amazing spiderman". THERES NOTHING AMAZING ABOUT YOU BRO
@@Jefferyobagbemi Ults in this game are just that good, just look at luna and mantis ults, like 20 secs of pure stalling power if you pop one after the other to the point where whichever team has those ults at the right time wins a lot
The thing he does well besides aiming obviously is positioning, when this guy says the enemy forgets about them thats just dumb they dont they are high elo players, they know if they keep looking at where starlord was they will be giving their back to the entire enemy team. This starlord knows where to strike from to make it awkard to enemy backline and knows how much he can extend without dying, even if didnt kill anyone on a flank if he is alive the enemy team still has to respect and cant focus fully on healing their tanks or dpsing. Hope this helps this is useful to any flanker in the game no only starlord.
Thats true. In higher elo, allied frontline and backline always move in if the enemy gets too distracted by your flanking, its only in low elo where everyone chases after flankers and they dont get killed for turning their backs.
@vitorsamuel777 they dont get killed but if there are 2 enemies running after you your team is already playing 5v4, so even in lower ranks this is the correct strat
GM and yes, it works. I literally carried a Starlord game despite being only 2nd in kills/damage but only bec I'd focus backline and always with my team in front and I keep harassing the enemy backline and keep trying to bait em to chase me Game winning moment was me killing a support, then having the psylocke and punisher chase me, but though I died in the end I wasted so much time that the enemy team got wiped since it was a 3v5 with only 1 healer for like 15s N yea, you dont rly need to kill. Even if it gets healed up, as long as you're annoying you're rly stressing out supports and tanks while farming for your big ult. Win-win
The key word here is fundamentals. and he is rarely pushing beyond that. Sometimes that is all it takes. Don't always have to make crazy plays or risk throwing. Just pressure, poke, kill key targets when you can but dont over risk it, but #1 DONT DIE. It would be interesting to see a game where his team is struggling and see how he compensates like if he changes his gameplay to push towards taking larger risks or not. Other heroes probably have much different perspectives though. I know spiderman for example seems to be a more high risk high reward type of game. Im gonna try starloard after watching this. I've always been a strong fundamentalist player that's why ive always tanked or healed and dps has been a hobby, I think.
@@ni9274 you can still flank since he has decent mobility, but i agree its harder, but he can definitely kill suport characters (the shark is kinda annoying) with one mag, one E and one melee
For DPS, unless you can 1-2 shots the backline like hawkeye or hela, they rely on their ult like starlord, punisher, buckey, or ironman. So they are trying to farm ult charge while not dying and distract while their team pushes forward or get picks. I'm a casual player but I do watch A LOT of pro plays and analysis.
Buckey CAN kill backline,but you have to play mid or flank well, its a more dangerous style.And now that I think of it, so can a good IM,seen only a few, they just fly out of sight behind your team and use the beam.
Punisher is so good at singling and taking people out, get flanks on or just push the line while getting healed. Youll merk their healers or DPS characters and get close and 1 tap shotgun to the head. if u get ina dangerous situation zipline out
Its always good to remind that his backflip thing reloads his gun, you can see that when he ults he backlips a lot, not only to avoid dmg, but also for that extra split second of dmg that can easily kill an enemy, he can deal up to 260 dmg/s
Wait 260 per second? I'm never gonna normally reload in ult again! Thats more than Iron Man gamma unibeam. The game is still new so we arent aware of the numbers yet lmao
@@vitorsamuel777 in the official website they show all numbers for damage, cooldowns, things like that, it even has ino sometimes you didn't even knew about the character
@@Rodinho37that’s just not true. he’s only rolling to move faster and get more damage out with the auto reload. I play starlord in high GM, and the main purpose of the dash is the reload as it lets you shoot an entire extra mag in the same time you would have spend reloading.
I think its not just that he has great positioning and aim, hes using his dodges INCREDIBLY effectively. From his perfect timings of dodging danger, to choosing well when to flip in a fight for the reload, and even at the start of the 2nd match he was jumping partially off a building to get hits more easily and then flipping back onto the building to stay high ground. The details in his gameplay are so amazing, and thats the important thing when your character is so simplistic in nature.
i'm a gm3 star lord main with 45-11 w/l, and this guy is really good at fundamentals, like positioning and timing. his aim isn't anything crazy for his rank, it's just that his positioning and timing allows him to disrupt the enemy backline, taking their attention away from healing their team. the enemies aren't forgetting that he's there, it's just that they have no choice but to either chase him down (and be forced to stop healing their team,) or, ignore him so they can heal their teammates, and he punishes that. he does this much better than me, as i mainly rely on my aim and my positioning isn't too great.
Replays are generated footage from the data, not exactly what this star lord would have been seeing on his own screen during the match. All the tracking heroes look like they have bad aim on replays, listen for the hit markers instead. This star lord hits their shots
@@pablo_jeffscobar_8988 i know, i was moreso referring to his aim being a backdrop compared to his positioning. his aim is certainly good, but nothing that stands out compared to other high level players
I feel like effectively disrupting an enemy backline is an incredibly useful skill that people tend to disregard in higher ranks. Doing it can make or break the game and with good movement, positioning, and the other things you mentioned, you'd take more W's then L's. If you don't have said fundamentals, diving an enemy backline would be meaningless.
@@pablo_jeffscobar_8988 Nah, his aim is pretty average. It's comparable to silver players IMO. My aim is better than him. I know the crosshair is broken in replays but you can still see his sprays are not doing much damage. His tracking is pretty mid.
I think youre both stupid. The ONLY thing they have vaguely in common are the guns. Nothing else is similar so stop being stupid. If you cant tell the difference between him and tracer then you probably cant tell the difference between republicons or democrats. Its just plain dumb.
The biggest difference here is that this games tracer can counter this games Farah. Starlord not being bound by distance makes him actually fun to play at any level. Instead of Tracer where you would need a few hours before you understand it
We see diamond players do this too but the main difference is that he’s coordinating his pushes with his team, getting dmg buff from Mantis and getting heals from their Luna whilst defending.
I think this video is quite informative, thanks for the demo review mechant! I also feel like this is serve as excellent point for future comparisons how the game evolves and players eventually getting new strats, metas and counters which will be very exciting to witness.
I play my SL similar to this. Always go in and out until ult. I'll admit I sometimes over extend and be too aggressive and that gets me killed. But yeah, I hated playing Trader in OW, but SL is just super fun and it is 100% because his mobility feels so fun.
This is what I love about this game. Imagine Tracer where her jumps auto reload her weapon, she a jetpack to get to high ground and she has the best Ultimate in Overwatch. Sure, you don't have Recall but that kinda sucks anyway her opponents usually can figure out where she recalled to. Star Lord is Trace on steroids and he's probably just a Top 5 duelist if that in the game (it's almost unanimous that Hela, Hawkeye and Psylocke are better and many feel Winter Soldier and Moon Knight are up there too).
molanran was a part of one of the worst seasons in overwatch league history. a chinese dps player for the la valiant in 2021. individually, his mechanics were sound. he ended up being one of the better players on that team.
NPC thought process: if something goes bad just change hero or/and ask teammates to do so, definetely not worth it to try to learn new ways to play chosen hero and overcome hard conditions to improve as a player, not an hero-swapper
Gotta farm views somehow lol.. He himself wont ever be getting to the highest ..even mid levels of ranks so he farms views off other high ranked players ..pretty smart tbh
Teaming up is important but not all team ups have the same economy as ults. I’m just now reaching Diamond and you’ll see the same characters over and over again (iron man, star lord, Adam warlock, strange) that have incredible economy in their ults that out weigh team ups in other comps. Star lord has team-wipe potential and can farm his ult extremely quick. Namor is better for zone maps where it’s close quarters allowing him to constantly proc berserk.
What you said at the end its true if someone messed up a role and you ask them to change its for them to try a different method not get mad most people just get mad at you and keep throwing, if i mess up a role i tell my teammates switch bc im doing bad but they just get mad and dont give me option to switch
how would one counter this mechanic the starlord is using of just farming ult? it doesnt seem like there's much anyone can do except try and kill him but his team backs him up and he has amazing movement and evasion skins.
I would say just try to prevent SL from getting value. If it means using more shields or diving him or pushing him out of optimal sight lines. But even then it might be hard
is there any stat of how fast the convoy moves if there's a teammate nearby? And if it increases with more teammates nearby ~ merchant if you can test it out
You keep saying he's just farming his ult and shooting the tanks but i see a player that is finding angles, maintaining advantageous cover, and not dying a lot
They don't forget about him, these are all top 5% players and higher. They are forced to make a decision. Chase, or find another pick? The latter is probably the best option.
I don't understand how he's consistently hitting people while simultaneously avoiding damage SOMEHOW as they're firing back at him. It's ridiculous. I've lost nearly EVERY shoot out I had with other players while being in the same kind of shoot out, and I'm ALWAYS out DPS'd unless it's with my ultimate. I want to know how the hell he's so accurate, and how he's seemingly doing more damage even outside of his ult as a result.
This video doesn’t really help newbies struggling with aim lol. It just shows how to abuse your team for your own benefit. But that’s ok! Because unless you only live for ranked, marvel rivals has a lot of game modes to encourage all types of play styles. This StarLord play style will need a tank and team to really shine!
Is it just me or does Starlord’s jumpflip work as an animation cancel for his reload? I was pulling it off last night. It’s quicker than the reload, and he has I frames during it. Is this a thing?
You clearly don't understand the game at even a reasonable level. He's not " shooting tanks to farm ults" He's shooting tanks because they are the only ones accessible to him at that moment because either the enemy backline isn't pushed up or his team hasn't pushed in yet. If he goes backline too early, he dies and fight is lost right then and there. He's not overextending but poking before the actual engage which is when either his team pushes in or he has ult and can go aggressive for backline the enemies aren't " not looking at him" or are " oblivious to him". They clearly are. He just uses cover until they stop looking and goes for them when they can't afford to look at him. If they chase him around all game, the rest of his 5 teammates will push in for free and dominate their team. Nobody is a bot in such a high level lobby. They are all fundamentally sound players. This is just a bad analysis and stems from a lack of understanding of the macro concepts of a game like this
I think it's fine to request a role change if you're playing ranked, but if you're just playing casual, understand that not everyone in those lobbies play to sweat. I really don't get complaining in casual lobbies, that's where people go to practice new characters or just play for fun.
Im currently solo queue with a 73% winrate on starlord 33 wins 45 games played, im ngl i get good at games really fast and i got on this game as soon as it came out and i just vibe with starlords kit so well add me on rivals if you want proof Z1TT is my ign
@@odonah no but if you watch the whole video its this mechanic, farm ult and kill everyone simples as that nothing new , the reason it works is good aim and positioning
every star lord in my team dies trying to pick 1v1 fights or trying to kill backline. This consistent way of shooting tanks almost every time and farm ults its a mechanich and a playstyle itself
@@Rodinho37 yep. not everyone can execute backline 1 by 1, and Starlord is not even the best pick for that, so this "new" playstyle is a great thing to each people
Everybody talking how good his positioning is etc … how about he how much better his whole team is ? He is defo good but his team is also absolutely insane ….
Starlord is the king of trash damage imho. I will admit he can be good in the roght hands, but in all honesty, his TTK is extremely high outside of his ult. Starlord is literally just there to be a nuisance and keep enemy health from being topped up so someone else can get that one shot in.
@Alex_Aramayo If you think tracer's ult is better than this guy's, you're delusional. This guy's way more accessible, and way more Mobile. Dude can literally fucking fly...
@@juakored You said Starlord is a million times better than Tracer, not that his ult is. 1 for 1, Tracer has higher carry potential and skill expression in OW2 than Starlord does in Marvel Rivals.
Put Starlord in OW and he's the best character in the game. But in Rivals he's "fine." What Tracer has that he doesn't is Recall, and also her very slim hitbox + crouching, which makes her extremely hard to hit. Don't get me wrong, he's strong, but Rivals's backlines are hellish to break through. Mantis and Luna are frankensteinian abominations with incredibly stacked kits, and Hela and Hawkeye are simply excessively overtuned when it comes to numbers, but also have strong kits with no real holes in them. Then there's Adam who can res himself, the team, and Mantis/SL for free, has Zen's damage AND can full heal himself three times in a row, etc, etc. OW's supports don't hold a candle to MR's, that's why Starlord is a bit "mid" in his own game.
Idk man, there is a way better strat that is currently keeping me in diamond. So, some people do this really cool tech where they walk into walls, do not take any damage and headshot the entire lobby over and over again.
Not exactly s more just built in invulnerability during the flip, if you shoot him during a flip youll see the shield icon and hear the noise indicating no damage, similar to magik when she uses portals
A lot of these guys just have good teams that help them perform better. Let’s just be honest. I dare him to play continuously by himself and come back to me. Ain’t no way he has a 80 percent win rate with some of these trash bums in these lobbies on his team i ain’t buying it.
It feels a bit wierd his aim no? Some shots are hiting and he isnt even looking at the target, and this is not in his ultimate i mean normal shots 😮 how do we know if he is not cheating?
You ask why they don't counterpick and use Hawkeye as if everyone that plays the game is a grand wizard at Hawkeye. It could be as simple as people aren't that good with him xD. Do you think this Star Lord player plays this well with every hero? Like is he gonna get 47 and 3 with The Captain?
I was wondering why he was getting registration markers with his Crosshair not even close to the guy I hope gaming Merchant doesn't start promoting cheaters like the content creators did on apex Legends
@@Charlie-j6t8v It's not that he's cheating, its that the replay system has weird crosshair positioning. What I mean by this is that his crosshair is not where shows on the replay, not sure why this is though
Im a Starlord main. 1. If you’re talking about his ult: it has auto aim. 2. Starlord shoots with bloom meaning his shots dont go straight to the aim. So it ends up just hitting everything around it so you can be aiming a little off and itll still hit them. 3. You can learn to aim with the movement and thats why I like him so much because im very good at aiming with movement so it not only makes me hard to hit but its easy to kill people. From the gameplay i saw it didnt look like cheating and more like just regular star lord gameplay
If you go on leaderboards you'll see the top players and you can check their career profile and see their statistics and history the same way you can check yours. I believe you can check the replays of other players' games by checking their history tab
A bit more preparation going into the video will make it way better, this just looks like you are poping a random game and giving random comment about the game and thats it, zero info
10:00 How the hell he missed that much and won the 1v1 (i mean this crosshair totally not track on enemy), not only this one. like there are so many parts questionable. If it is just delay then it is fine, otherwise, I don't think that a cheater game pov is not quite "good" material to watch or learn from that.
why do all these videos look so mild and slow? my lobbies everyones jumping ard everywhere blasting and shooting and spamming skills and my teammates get killed so fast and my teammates are wandering all over the map not knowing what the objective is. this bot lobbies?
Bro its kinda crazy this kids not really that good i would like to see if hes solo queuing these games or not, im diamond 3 with 60 games rn solo queue on starlord im on track to meet him, about to compare my character stats with him brb lol
he's just another braindead hitscan flyer in a game it shouldn't exist in -shrug- edit: In every single tps/fps hero arena shoot the hitscan characters that have verticality are the most broken/annoying
You really got the wrong takeaway here. He is that success because his mechanics are crazy. You can be as smart as him. Have the same gameplan and game sense. But if you dont have his reflexes and accurate tracing in this high speed movement of yourself ( during air jumps or falling down) or enemies trying to dodge or both at the same time YOU WILL NOT COME ANYWHERE CLOSE to his lvl og Star-Lord. Just forget about it.
Once upon a time he probably shot like a bronze player, too. Your advice is terrible for people aspiring to achieve more out of themselves. It just takes practice and a ton of patience. Having great teammates also doesn't hurt.
Tbh that's how I've seen star lord matches go, you kind of don't see them do much, then they ult and kill everyone lol
And its so annoying, the same thing all the way up to diamond. Ive even see spidermans do it too. Absent the whole game and the next thing you hear is "dont mess with the amazing spiderman". THERES NOTHING AMAZING ABOUT YOU BRO
@@Jefferyobagbemi Ults in this game are just that good, just look at luna and mantis ults, like 20 secs of pure stalling power if you pop one after the other to the point where whichever team has those ults at the right time wins a lot

Insanely hard to catch a good Star Lord.
Yup
Thats me, but when people are alone say psyloche or spidey its easy to kill them if you have good aim and can use you’re dodges correctly
That's 100% a former Tracer main. The only mechanic he abuses is his own good aim and positioning.
His aim isnt very good tbh

The actual MECHANIC is that he is under mantis heal, luna E and inspiration all the time
is there any stat of how fast the convoy moves if there's a teammate nearby? And if it increases with more teammates nearby ~ merchant if you can test it out
it moves faster on offense but not defense
3 people moves it the fastest on attack, cant change defense speed
this is is good format of a video. please do more
All that enemy Luna snow had to do was time her ult with starlord ult and then the starlord wouldn't get a single kill
Lets be honest - he has cool tracking aim and hits a lot of shots.
You keep saying he's just farming his ult and shooting the tanks but i see a player that is finding angles, maintaining advantageous cover, and not dying a lot
That was more of a team diff than anything else.
I’ve noticed you don’t even need to really get flank picks on him, you just distract them from off angles and farm ult for your kills
They don't forget about him, these are all top 5% players and higher. They are forced to make a decision. Chase, or find another pick? The latter is probably the best option.
He's a former OW pro not sure what team tho
At 8:56 he shoots a whole mag and then doesnt even reload and gets the second mag, how is that possible?
His backflip reloads his gun
He was a Tracer player in Overwatch.
I don't understand how he's consistently hitting people while simultaneously avoiding damage SOMEHOW as they're firing back at him. It's ridiculous. I've lost nearly EVERY shoot out I had with other players while being in the same kind of shoot out, and I'm ALWAYS out DPS'd unless it's with my ultimate. I want to know how the hell he's so accurate, and how he's seemingly doing more damage even outside of his ult as a result.

great channel
love the game
3:35 hawkeye does not have the most dmg what scoreboard are u looking at?
He is doing the most work. Damage without elims is meaningless.
@@Kaiisariiionthen why aren’t u looking at final hits which starlord has the most of?
Goated channel with the best tips merchant is the goat
Couldnt be me. Elo hell is real on console. Dont @me. Lol.
Lots of 5 year olds have ps5 lately
Nah, that’s copium. I’m GM solo q only, on ps5
@@BlaowVEVO Prove it.
It was worse from me going in silver 1 than it has been for diamond 😂 I’m diamond 2 still ranking up pretty steadily
Facts
You gotta have someone on Star Lord duty in order to slow him down. Slow, not stop...
This video doesn’t really help newbies struggling with aim lol. It just shows how to abuse your team for your own benefit.
But that’s ok! Because unless you only live for ranked, marvel rivals has a lot of game modes to encourage all types of play styles. This StarLord play style will need a tank and team to really shine!
Is it just me or does Starlord’s jumpflip work as an animation cancel for his reload? I was pulling it off last night. It’s quicker than the reload, and he has I frames during it. Is this a thing?
If you read the skill, it gives reload
80 percent win rate is just crazy luck.
You clearly don't understand the game at even a reasonable level.
He's not " shooting tanks to farm ults" He's shooting tanks because they are the only ones accessible to him at that moment because either the enemy backline isn't pushed up or his team hasn't pushed in yet. If he goes backline too early, he dies and fight is lost right then and there. He's not overextending but poking before the actual engage which is when either his team pushes in or he has ult and can go aggressive for backline
the enemies aren't " not looking at him" or are " oblivious to him". They clearly are. He just uses cover until they stop looking and goes for them when they can't afford to look at him. If they chase him around all game, the rest of his 5 teammates will push in for free and dominate their team. Nobody is a bot in such a high level lobby. They are all fundamentally sound players.
This is just a bad analysis and stems from a lack of understanding of the macro concepts of a game like this
I think it's fine to request a role change if you're playing ranked, but if you're just playing casual, understand that not everyone in those lobbies play to sweat. I really don't get complaining in casual lobbies, that's where people go to practice new characters or just play for fun.
I feel like alot of these top players have great teams an actual squad of guys playing cause progressing in rank on solo queue is rough
Im currently solo queue with a 73% winrate on starlord 33 wins 45 games played, im ngl i get good at games really fast and i got on this game as soon as it came out and i just vibe with starlords kit so well add me on rivals if you want proof Z1TT is my ign
guess we are running out of content
"EASY NEW MECHANIC" = he left clicked and farmed ult
?? did he ever say it was new i must have missed that
@@odonah no but if you watch the whole video its this mechanic, farm ult and kill everyone simples as that nothing new , the reason it works is good aim and positioning
every star lord in my team dies trying to pick 1v1 fights or trying to kill backline. This consistent way of shooting tanks almost every time and farm ults its a mechanich and a playstyle itself
@@Rodinho37 yep. not everyone can execute backline 1 by 1, and Starlord is not even the best pick for that, so this "new" playstyle is a great thing to each people
Everybody talking how good his positioning is etc … how about he how much better his whole team is ? He is defo good but his team is also absolutely insane ….
Starlord is the king of trash damage imho. I will admit he can be good in the roght hands, but in all honesty, his TTK is extremely high outside of his ult.
Starlord is literally just there to be a nuisance and keep enemy health from being topped up so someone else can get that one shot in.
see i have this glitch where the enemy team shoots me
He aims like a forklift I once drove
Starlord is basically Tracer, but a million times better. So I'm not surprised he's fucking broken.
Bro u don't play either of those characters if u think he is better
@Alex_Aramayo If you think tracer's ult is better than this guy's, you're delusional. This guy's way more accessible, and way more Mobile. Dude can literally fucking fly...
@@juakored You said Starlord is a million times better than Tracer, not that his ult is. 1 for 1, Tracer has higher carry potential and skill expression in OW2 than Starlord does in Marvel Rivals.
Hela and haowkay can kill everyone without using any skills or ultimates.
Put Starlord in OW and he's the best character in the game.
But in Rivals he's "fine." What Tracer has that he doesn't is Recall, and also her very slim hitbox + crouching, which makes her extremely hard to hit.
Don't get me wrong, he's strong, but Rivals's backlines are hellish to break through. Mantis and Luna are frankensteinian abominations with incredibly stacked kits, and Hela and Hawkeye are simply excessively overtuned when it comes to numbers, but also have strong kits with no real holes in them. Then there's Adam who can res himself, the team, and Mantis/SL for free, has Zen's damage AND can full heal himself three times in a row, etc, etc.
OW's supports don't hold a candle to MR's, that's why Starlord is a bit "mid" in his own game.
Merch can you drop a link for the website you get all the stats from please
#1 star lord is crazy ngl
enemy healers were heal botting no wonder they lost
Idk man, there is a way better strat that is currently keeping me in diamond. So, some people do this really cool tech where they walk into walls, do not take any damage and headshot the entire lobby over and over again.
advice of vid to dps's: "just farm ult"
me who plays scarlet: "...yeeaah..."
does star lords flip have i-frames?
Not exactly s more just built in invulnerability during the flip, if you shoot him during a flip youll see the shield icon and hear the noise indicating no damage, similar to magik when she uses portals
Fundamentals and being a smart player. What you expect him to do? Go in there and 1v6 everybody? 😂
A lot of these guys just have good teams that help them perform better. Let’s just be honest. I dare him to play continuously by himself and come back to me. Ain’t no way he has a 80 percent win rate with some of these trash bums in these lobbies on his team i ain’t buying it.
It feels a bit wierd his aim no? Some shots are hiting and he isnt even looking at the target, and this is not in his ultimate i mean normal shots 😮 how do we know if he is not cheating?
😂
the replay viewer is a little weird when it comes to seeing exactly how they were actually aiming.

You ask why they don't counterpick and use Hawkeye as if everyone that plays the game is a grand wizard at Hawkeye. It could be as simple as people aren't that good with him xD. Do you think this Star Lord player plays this well with every hero? Like is he gonna get 47 and 3 with The Captain?
Repeatedly says he’s farming ult like ironically shooting things isn’t simply just playing the game. What a weirdo 😂
anyone know his crosshair?
Keep your eye on his crosshair. He is hitting shots while looking at the ground. This is 100% aimbot.
I was wondering why he was getting registration markers with his Crosshair not even close to the guy I hope gaming Merchant doesn't start promoting cheaters like the content creators did on apex Legends
have you played the game? starlord's ult has auto aim 😅
@@Charlie-j6t8v It's not that he's cheating, its that the replay system has weird crosshair positioning. What I mean by this is that his crosshair is not where shows on the replay, not sure why this is though
Im a Starlord main.
1. If you’re talking about his ult: it has auto aim.
2. Starlord shoots with bloom meaning his shots dont go straight to the aim. So it ends up just hitting everything around it so you can be aiming a little off and itll still hit them.
3. You can learn to aim with the movement and thats why I like him so much because im very good at aiming with movement so it not only makes me hard to hit but its easy to kill people.
From the gameplay i saw it didnt look like cheating and more like just regular star lord gameplay
Show us best Jeff main )
This can’t be THE MoLanran right?
How do you watch other players replays like this?
If you go on leaderboards you'll see the top players and you can check their career profile and see their statistics and history the same way you can check yours. I believe you can check the replays of other players' games by checking their history tab
View someone’s profile and you should be able to view their history and stats
Isn’t Brookss better
honestly a good match to watch, but that title is incredibly misleading and stupid. Earned my dislike.
A bit more preparation going into the video will make it way better, this just looks like you are poping a random game and giving random comment about the game and thats it, zero info
Hawk eyehears starlord voice lines. Headshot dead.
10:00 How the hell he missed that much and won the 1v1 (i mean this crosshair totally not track on enemy), not only this one. like there are so many parts questionable. If it is just delay then it is fine, otherwise, I don't think that a cheater game pov is not quite "good" material to watch or learn from that.
It’s a replay they can’t give you that accurate of a cross hair
replays dont show accurate crosshair placement
Replay crosshair not accurate AND third person crosshair also not accurate cause you shoot from left to right
Guy was still using wallhacks, he just had his Aimbot turn down the first round... then cranked the cheats up for round two
why do all these videos look so mild and slow? my lobbies everyones jumping ard everywhere blasting and shooting and spamming skills and my teammates get killed so fast and my teammates are wandering all over the map not knowing what the objective is. this bot lobbies?
Bro its kinda crazy this kids not really that good i would like to see if hes solo queuing these games or not, im diamond 3 with 60 games rn solo queue on starlord im on track to meet him, about to compare my character stats with him brb lol
I'm stuck in silver lol, its not like i play great. My aim is horrible and playing with a controller on a laptop, I know worse combo.
dude you have no idea what's going on lol
Why tf didn't their team have Hawkeye? He's not even banned in this match
They did watch the beginning, he pooped on him and he swapped
Because Hawkeye is horrible against starlord.
Playing decently and having a good team. Wow what insight /s
The title is some AI clickbait level garbage
he's just another braindead hitscan flyer in a game it shouldn't exist in -shrug- edit: In every single tps/fps hero arena shoot the hitscan characters that have verticality are the most broken/annoying
yea but my healer healing score is 4000 :D
Its weird to me that he keeps looking at enemy team members through the walls when in cover.
You really got the wrong takeaway here.
He is that success because his mechanics are crazy. You can be as smart as him. Have the same gameplan and game sense. But if you dont have his reflexes and accurate tracing in this high speed movement of yourself ( during air jumps or falling down) or enemies trying to dodge or both at the same time
YOU WILL NOT COME ANYWHERE CLOSE to his lvl og Star-Lord. Just forget about it.
Once upon a time he probably shot like a bronze player, too. Your advice is terrible for people aspiring to achieve more out of themselves. It just takes practice and a ton of patience. Having great teammates also doesn't hurt.
Guy is no higher than master level in ow. Looks like a plat player
I’m sorry but the start of the video is so dumb. If this dude doesn’t stack then I’m dumb lol hard to believe his win loss is based off alts
not that impressive gameplay tbh. No way he is rank 1. Ppl need to stop clickbaiting that shit its annoying asf
Can you just let the vod play for sometime and then say your thoughts? The constant yapping is so irritating.
disagree, i think this is way more efficient and makes sure we dont miss things when they happen and he has something to explain or point out
