I understand that in a competitive environment, victory is always going to be the primary goal. Also that you probably felt or know there was more you could have done to secure it. Nothing wrong with that. It just shows how passionate you are when it comes to something you commit to. Just never forget.. At the end of the day, you’re here to have fun and enjoy yourself! While I don’t entirely understand what “having fun” entails for you, I do know that’s the one true goal we should never lose sight of. That’s my 2 cents. But anyway! I always enjoy your content and find it rather cool you can at least acknowledge your lowest points and share them with us. Love you Andrew!❤️
One thing I’ve learned when playing games like For Honor, Paladins, OW, etc. is that claiming early victory usually ends in defeat. Everything could be calculated and prepared but sometimes the unpredictable happens

I have a friend who whenever I play Paladins with occasionally, I tell them to NEVER say GG or claim a win early. In about thirty to maybe fourty matches I've played with them and we're about to win, they say it early and out of nowhere our 3-0 lead becomes a 3-4 loss. Just because a match looks like an almost effortless win doesn't mean to treat it as an easy win. This game has abused me each time I had someone on my team treat it as such.

@@rimanova5441 Had matches like this one and there's almost nothing worse than being solo corvus healer vs a team with Willo as the enemy. The amount of times I've had to ask (both in msgs and voice) my team to stay off point to get the Willo gets a bit ridiculous sometimes and in some instances where you also aren't given any protection WHILE in these matches, quite infuriating. Then when you lose you end up getting blamed for not being able to heal through 100% cauterize.
@@wil4me That's what I'm trying to say but sadly most of his fans like the guy above just don't get it. "Stop bullying my favourite youtuber" they cry smh 🤦♀️
You losing to the Atlas at the end is what happened. You jumped on him with only 1 ammo so you had to reload behind the wall which exposed you to damage from the other side. If you reload first, then jump on the atlas, you get that kill and secure the win. Atlas really stalled the point there for a long time after that fight.
Andrew you did a few misplays but all round you played well. Stuck with your team didn’t just dive without thinking and die. You’re not bad at the game. You have a great knowledge of the game as well as the champions. Sometimes you just gotta take a step away from how you see things and try to see it like you don’t know who’s playing. It allows you to be critical of your plays and also be a bit less hard on yourself. Christ even GMs make mistakes. I know you got this Andrew. Love the content
Honestly Andrew, you played fine. There are misplay yes but All and all these things happen, and your mistakes were not all the cost the game. But you went well in to the analysis of each player at the end of that game and showed all and all it was a team effort that dropped that game. Tilted chat just be tilted. Just keep learning, keep growing, and remember, you ain't a *bleeep*y paladins player, your a good human player who makes mistakes like all of us and your better then like half of the remaining portion of this community.
@@atari8603 i have seen him on stream, actually, thank you. And it doesn't change my statement. We are human. We all have times we suck at the game, even you and me. And he is playing while trying to be a entertaining personality for a fickle audience that decides part of his income. That makes it even harder. With all that in mind, long as he is willing to look at his mistakes as well as others, he is just fine.
If you really want to approach this from a "i could've played better and let's assume only I would move differently" standpoint then the Atlas/Willo engage was ok, either of them would kill you if you focused the other. you could've not gone in but your presence made 2 of their champs focus you which in turn did help with the team wipe. I think the engage with Atlas after killing Skie instead of going after Willo/Io was the part where you could've realistically had better decision making. I think, dont really wanna do math right now, both of them with full hp had less effective hp than that Atlas especially considering he got healed during your fight with him. Also the Fernando ult fucked you hard but the decision making was good. You could run the hypothesis that you knew he hadn't ulted yet so he should have it but that's a bit too nitpicky for constructive criticism I think.
Yea as a flank you dont go for tanks lol. You go for the most vulnerable i.e willoe or io. Trying to go up against a tank as a flank usually means you get countered because tanks are designed to ward you off. Like why go for a 4k HP champ when you can go for one with half the HP and kill faster? Mistakes like that happen but thats why i dont try to counter play i just do what im comfortable at especially in ranked when the goal is to win.
@@oisinlehane1714 I never played the game when it was added, but saw some really old videos made when it was still in the game. It didn't look that bad or glitchy to be honest and am surprised they don't have it as an option players can opt in to if they decide.
@@wil4me It was really good in my opinion because when you got a triple or quadra kill you had the excitement of knowing you might be featured and when the game ends and you see your name and character there it was such a good feeling
One thing is that I was not rude, i literally tried to help him to NOT get tilted in the first place by telling him what went wrong. However this comment of yours doesn't seem to help with anything buddy. Have a nice day
Everytime I play ranked someone on the enemy team has a border of Diamond+ from an earlier season meanwhile my silver team is chewing on crayons and my gold self is crying in the corner.
i watched this yesterday on twitch.....i kinda knew it would make it here cuz it was a great game but i was surprised you lost...also saw when you finally got the will.0 skin
I haven't seen andrew so mad in a long time, casual games already make me aggressive, thats why i don't play in ranked, everyone (at least in north latam) is really toxic and makes me don't want to play anymore
I don't play ranked because the matchmaking is poorly designed. Elo hell is definitely a thing in Paladins because gold is filled with new players who barely started the game and are doing placements while having the minimum amount of champions/experience.
could you make a video going trough every match up in the game , maybe you can make diferent videos focusing on each championncategory and how perform against other champs
hahaha, we all had our moments like that, don't be harsh on you. You should had gotten into the point to extend the overtime to give Makoa a chance to get in and contest, instead of farming Skye.
I understand your reaction, and I admire that you also recognize your mistake, but you're being too harsh with yourself. You played pretty well and did what you could, that's what matters
Brother you just need to use Evie, your win ratio would be insane. Plus I love watching Evie gameplay. I watch the pros use her too…magically even with all my practice with her and vids I’ve watched…I still can’t haha
Yeah Evie can just clown on most comps for free if you master her. Andrew is probably good enough with her to wreck most low diamond comps easily and cash in free Ws.
IMO on Evie in Ranked: Unless is the last pick in the draft, you don't pick her... is too easy to counter-pick her. Also, Evie has soo much mobility that assisting her is really hard for any other teammate, so most of the times she dives alone and if the enemy team is kinda packed, your Evie will have little to nothing to do against them, as diving in will cause a 1v2 which, most of the times will end with the Evie dead. Don't get me wrong, Andrew is a GREAT Evie player, but even great players can get countered by 2 avg players. I don't know... lately (and the reason I quit Ranked) people treated Paladins as if it was Counter Strike: forgetting or plainly ignoring strategy. During draft, you have like 7 mins before the game, that's a lot of time to plan a strategy.
Andrew loses a ranked game that he thinks should've been easy, bc his Inara was removed from the point. Then he goes all drama king saying it's his fault, that it was bc he targeted Atlas instead of Willo. Not trying to be rude, but this seems a little immature to me, you should just cut your losses and move on.
You are a great strategic player and no worries about such unpredictable situations. But the enemy team isn't as good, by the look of their strats & positioning during the game, and so this is what such players do (who may lack pure skill like yours): They often focus on point a lot and just the point. So, while you were running your excellent strategy of flanking & killing their skye & trying to kill their off tank (Atlas) & their healer, the rest of their team, Willo, IO, Nando, were focusing solely on your tanks Inara & Makoa who were close to point, since it was 99 vs 99. Once your tanks were dead or low health, there wasn't any play that could work. Probably you could have ignored flanking & just focused on point as well, to kill their nando & help your tanks live, so they can continue contesting on point. Sometimes dumb ideas like this win, cuz they ruin a strategy-style play of yours.
Ranked is atrocious. This season has been my worst experience yet. I solo queue all the time and I have been stuck with morons in gold. As a tank/healer main, I'm not able to carry the bottom of the barrel players in paladins. They are a sink pit that is ready to drown you out of ranked.
This is one of the lowest moments of my ranked career.
