The way you instantly implement feedback and single handedly carry games is beyond belief.
You’re a beast SVB 👑
The GOAT coach 🐐

Damage Damage and what ? That’s right, DAMAGE
@@bachirghouri7285Naaah you’re wrong the true answer is DAMAGE!!!!!!
fr Iv been triying to include teh soldier U2GM on my game but just cant suceed so I will probably need to work harder on my positioning
That Moira getting carried and then saying “ez“ is just classic OW lol
It's a law of physics that dictates the players who get carried the hardest, are also the ones boasting most about the ease of the game. Action and reaction, naturally balanced
Blud's not only playing the easiest character in the game but also got carried and said 'ez' at the end? Lmfao I hate these people
Elim participation % display used to be a good thing. Perhaps prevented at least some of the *somewhat* self-reflecting players from boasting after "winning a duel" when they could see they contributed a whopping 7% to the kill.
I mean... Figuratively speaking, that was probably ez for the player.
Didn't do nothing but still ez.
well if shes getting carried it prolly would be pretty ez
Why do average Overwatch players constantly try to dictate what others play? Your Tank in the first game was already gg-ing because you wouldn't swap off Tracer. Happens to me all the time on Support, even in quickplay, lmao.
It’s easier to assume your teammates are ruining your game than to accept that you could play better
there are def instances where people are playing into comps that hard counter them and refuse to swap out of ego, you're not playing doom vs orisa cass sombra ana no matter how good you are, and people refusing to play hitscan for pharah/echo is griefing
they're the same people who cry about elo hell being real and holding them back - when in reality they just fail to take control over their own games (due to lack of skill) and survive on pure copium by blaming others or looking for external factors to contribute their own shortcomings onto.
Sadly it's human nature for a majority of people, hence why the "top 1 %" in anything is always kinda frowned upon in general because most people just have a fundamental flaw in their own mindsets and approach to whatever they pursue in life. They want to feel like they deserve being good, but they don't want to acknowledge they themselves just aren't putting in the required effort, and think others have it easier than themselves.
Just fragile egos. If its a loss its someone else's fault and not theirs.
@@flix5668depends how you play it to be honest. That means their Target priority is the doom therefore they’re all focused on just him and your supports. I’ve played with dooms with those hard counters that just poke the whole game and the dps get insane value from it.
His team flaming him while the enemies defended him was nuts, people just like looking for an excuse when they lose.
He was the worst dps that’s why
He won them the game ofc theyll defend him. It’s like when ppl don’t report throwers on the other team
@@nursestan7788 Me and my friends report throwers but I see what you mean.
Ikr, no accountability whatsoever
@@styxvxzzbut girls love to blame their team the most when they lose tho
The only thing missing is blink melee. There are a lot of targets that escaped or took 3 extra seconds to kill which you could've insta killed.
Absolutely, though that's just a finer mechanical skill detail that will come with time. The important part is learning the fundamental playstyle that allows for targets to consistently get within melee range - then it's just a matter of practicing that skillset to capitalize on it. And you can even see how SVB got a lot more confident even with blink melees in the end when he started to truly get into the flow. Not like crazy, but you can see the baseline is there already, just needs more practice for trust in consistency and accuracy.
18:11 every tracer fiber in my body aches
"If you're doing nothing right now? Then that's the wrong thing." I needed to hear this. I really needed to hear this.
I like how your tank in the first game was flaming you when they had more deaths than you while being pocketed by Ana and Mercy and getting every nano
I also like how 2 people on the enemy team defended SVB's tracer as being good when his tank was flaming in all chat (around 17:45). That tank must have had no idea how toxic and entitled they were acting.
i don't understand people who say gg in the middle of a game.. so miserable
He was MIA for half the game though.
the ones who say it coz they know they have already won? or the ones who just give up?@@knyt0
To be fair, Tracer wasn’t doing anything for the first 4 minutes. He has 500 dmg versus 2000.
Man I absolutely loved this and I love Awkwards approach to teaching thee concepts. He really makes you feel empowered and it feels so simple when he lays it out.
"Tracer switch ffs go hitscan" Yes, those Tracer projectiles are the problem 😂
I choked when he picked Rein to defend first point. On Numbani.
@@Nekroido and how he could of just gone dva for pharah LMAO classic
Awky is a great coach and way more gentle than i expected xD
Awkward just sounds like a lovely fellow to have in your ear overall - very encouraging and never too hard on a learner.
but girls dont like awkward tho
@@cenjay3794 so?
@@cenjay3794where are you even getting this from
@@cenjay3794honestly i feel like his unique personality could carry him and compensate for looks
He’s a great coach, but some of his Twitter shit is WILD
Another Awkward coaching video! This is like Main Channel Content! Awkward is really a great coach (cant wait to watch this)
Loved seeing the growth in this vid. That first game on Numbani started out ROUGH but I loved seeing it because that's how my games will go sometimes. People leaving, people telling me to switch or to report. Just gotta keep playing and not let the team get you down.
I mean, coaching video or not playing tracer in that comp was in-fact self-countering his own hero.
Doesn't mean the tank was right to be toxic, but the tracer was a throw pick, you can't argue that.
@@ajallen212if you watch any of Awkward's content at all you will understand that "counter-picking" and "throw picks" are a load of rubbish for anyone who isn't playing in like, top 100. Because you can always outskill other players, it doesn't matter what hero you both play. E.g., a bronze widow is never going to beat even a diamond+ pharah just because she's hitscan and that "counters" pharah - the pharah player themself is inherently better so they win. There's no point swapping all the time because then you learn nothing. You should watch his vids, he explains and demonstrates in much better, and he's rank 1 so pretty sure the advice is sound lol
Seeing "tank diff" when you 100% carried is hilarious
Awkward is nice! I learned a lot from his videos. But hey, is it me or I see more supports dealing damage recently? Especially with Ana. I see more "50%damage/50%heal" in the scoreboard. I´d say his tips and knowledge are becoming popular :) Good for him and the OW community, players are learning.
It’s true. I’ve been maining support lately and in my mind there would always be Awkward’s voice telling me to do damage damage damage. It’s amazing
I swear ever since the Moira video, every Moira is a beast now
Its good and bad I'll often see moiras or ana's not heal when needed cause they go out of their depth and don't stabilize when needed. In quickplay it isn't that big a deal but in comp you should try to understand when to reel it back for a moment. If you miss the shot on sym its fine to try again but not at the cost of your tanks life. Like if you go main healer like bap or ana I as the other support expect you to prioritize tank while I prioritize helping our squishies.
Fast forward to s7 where supports are now DPS lite lmfao
@@sentinal_entity Illari/Kiri are crazy xd
"tracer can you pls go hitscan pls" top 10 funniest ow moments
I have a friend that thinks Hanzo is hitscan because he thinks it means “long range” lol
the tank in gamechat is so fucking toxic the first game. holy hell. it's probably better to just mute all comms/text comms lol.
but wow do I hate when somebody says 'report this player' simply because they arent popping off. you report somebody for intentionally throwing a game/going afk...not if they dont perform at a level you want...ow playerbase is brutal. glad you didnt let it bother you though
I had a game where a mercy and bastion weren’t playing. They were being “nice” I called them out and the whole sever went against me and refuse to end the game. Calling me trash and targeting me all bc I wanted to play the actual game. It was quick play but still not an excuse to not play, and act like that, Is not a custom game. I didn’t want to leave bc I was doing the battle pass and I would’ve got a penalty. I leave games like those and games when I find the game boring when is unplayable. Also bc of pride, I knew they would all laugh if I did leave.
@@lulu_TheWitchBoy i cannot stress to you enough how LITTLE quick play matters to anyone who actually plays comp if youre taking it so serious that it HURTS your pride to leave a qp match and you hate people just slowing down and having fun in the mode designated for slowing down and having fun just play comp
@@komossr um no. Quick play is a mode to play, is not a party mode. I play quick play so there’s no counter pick, or when I wanna play any other hero, than my mains. Especially now when you get banned for leaving. If is not that serious, then why do we get banned? if you throw the game, u deserve to be reported. Others are also there to play, you can be goofy all you want, but simply not playing the game shouldn’t happen, and you’re a, a whole for doing it.
@@lulu_TheWitchBoy counterpicking definitely still happens in qp unfortunately idk what ur on
u get banned for leaving arcade too so that arguments null
being friendly isnt necessarily throwing unless the enemies are literally tryharding unfathomably hard which you dont see much in qp if you struggle that much with having a singular teammate be friendly from time to time ur just bad idk what to tell you
on top of that most of the time people are only friendly a few times to one specific person and they play the rest of the game normal however if they just sit around waving to people in corners then yeah thats throwing but that happens a good once every 70 matches if ur unlucky
@@komossr you make no sense, you’re basically saying is okay bc it rarely happens??? what point are you trying to make? it shouldn’t be happening, is a not a party mode, and you don’t get banned for leaving custom games lmao. And no, people don’t usually counter pick in qp, people aren’t as desperate to win like that, they play who they feel like. You’re arguing for the sake of arguing, like pls shut up, you brought up the stupidest takes. And I literally said they refuse to end the game, and I was gonna get a penalty for something out my control, like wtf? Also it being reportable, and getting banned since it consider throwing, completely counters your argument.
As a rein main, I love when I have a tracer who just mirrors me on the rear of the enemy. It gives me a permanent pincer.
As Tracer, there is nothing I love more than good Rein duels because it means I can always pincer from the side or rear and the enemy Rein can't afford to address me because if he does, our Rein just steamrolls him from the front. Low key undervalued synergy between Rein and Tracer
Trying my best to implement these tips and it immediately broke my loss streak, it feels so good watching your team steamroll the enemy team as soon as you start to put pressure in the right places, tysm
This is crazy. Seeing someone else so positively affected by the same exact video I'm learning from is amazing. I've already improved so much so this makes me happy.
Nice one for keeping at it dude!! This video is going to help so many people (me) when trying to play tracer
Those boxing analogies are 100% such truth, the jab(poke poke info info) then knock out punch(low hp/force ults), brilliant, im also convinced that awkward might be a intermediate fighter
"This tracer is so bad it's insane" Always be the ppl who don't know why.
I love watching videos of you getting coached by Awkward!!! I learn so much and try to implement his strategies into my own game.
Waiting for the day when Awkward would give his foundations for Reinhardt ❤️
I'd imagine "damage, damage, damage, shield don't die, damage"
PLEAAAASE YES
1) do damage
2) don’t sit on the payload
3) they go back, you go forward
4) they go forward, you go back
Most of his advice applies to all heroes.
My thoughts exactly
Love this video ❤
Great coach and great student!!
Need more 😊
I studied up on a lot of the tips I was hearing here, cause I was just doing no damage as Tracer, feeling fragile, useless, and not holding my weight as all even as a distraction. After this I play my first match, and I was a different person?? Like easily one of the best matches I've played overall. Cheers to Awkward's coaching.
i would love awkward coaching soooo much like i would tell him to be as blunt as possible
Your ability to take constructive criticism and apply it is insane.
Awkward's take on how to play tracer feel like the exact opposite of A10's, it's very interesting
I agree, they both have very different ways of explaining what to do on tracer. If you look at the practical application of either teachings however it basically says the same thing. Off angle, as little downtime as possible, exploit recall to go agressive and generally be a distraction/nuisance to the enemy team. A10 might have a more refined way of putting it, I feel like both playstyles have alot of similarities though.
I think the approach is the opposite, but what is actually taught -the end goal, is actually very similar. They both focus on managing cooldowns, space, cover. Awkward's way of teaching is throwing you into the fire and learning through hard punishment when you fail, and great achievement when you succeed. Forcing you to constantly be active, always looking for value and opportunities, forces you to constantly think about how you use your abilities, cooldowns, and pathing to prioritize what value you are looking to achieve, and how impactful your value/resource ratio is at any given moment.
A10 also teaches you the exact same things, but from a slow and methodical approach where you practice each part individually step by step. So I wouldn't say the take is necessarily different, only the coaching style is. Ultimately, you will end up with the same value set regardless of whose advices you follow, it's just the means of how you get there.
People underestimate how powerful the threat of a character is. This was nice to see and Awkward coaching is always so valuable so thanks for sharing SVB
These videos are awesome man! great content.
Thank you for these videos! I'm realizing my aim is not the problem at all, its really good & yet I'm stuck at m1/gm5.
Like i just came from the Ana video before this and was kinda blown away. Not keeping sleep for threats? Not keeping the nade unless you have a clear chance? AND IT WORKS? And then another huge thing is, in my mind i'm always trying to regroup first. I don't want to die and force my team to 4v5. I'm scared of dying, when really, as im seeing in both of these videos, you can apply pressure/damage/make space before the team is there depending on the situation & it's all about the game sense of knowing when to pull back out.
but it is a good idea to regroup first tho
Awkard out here sounding like Emperor Palpatine "Goood...Goood" over and over on Shambali Monastery
You know I would love to see a comparison on tracer between awkward coaching and A10. I'm not saying who is better or right but comparing awkward's min max style with A10's cool down and timing management style would be really interesting
@@MrFultonian thats a fact 💯
The thing here is, both of them are coaching fundamentals, but approaching from 2 sides. Ultimately, what ends up defining your skill as you progress, is how well you implement them into your core gameplay foundation and can switch in a split second between the two. That's where a true form of playstyle emerges, when you apply the part of your fundamentals that best suit the individual situation and your general skillset as a player.
In reality they're both covering the same topic, but their approaches are different. Awkward teaches about learning by doing, throwing you into the frying pan, forcing you to learn what good cooldown management is because the situations he forces you to play in demand that you use your cooldowns properly. A10 is more theoretical, learn the cooldowns and potential first, then experience how to apply them step by step. I do appreciate both styles of coaching, and depending on whether you're a very hands-on type of person, or someone who is more methodical, either style could fit better.
Always nice how pleasant the replies are in svb content. I personally like the logic and clear explanation that A10 gives, but why not throw a nade and sleep during the pre fight as awkward insists. Awkward's spacing and rotations are so good, and A10 off angles and times his engages so well that he plows through the enemy and they don't even look at him. Something to gain from both, and I appreciate ppl trying to help those that want it.
@@mattjohnson1017truee! i've noticed this too and you summed up their styles perfectly. Both are good in their own ways. This is very interesting tbh :00
I really love these coaching sessions i learn so much
Yea I use tracer like 75% of the time now after watching awkwards U2GM.
And I’m usually no deaths, highest (or one of the highest) kills in the lobby. Long games I’ve been like 30-2 or something like that.
The other times I tried tracer I did horrible. And I know he’d have 100 things I’m still doing wrong if he was watching me but just the basic concepts and timings and tips have really improved my tracer game.
Same some lobbies I farm, but others they farm me lol
Was a great improvement. I feel like should acknowledge that shambali layout with many routes, flank options and enclosed design with not much high ground def lends better to tracer playstyle than numbani but it was great to see.
that JQ first game was such a whiny baby
Im like plat one pretty much only playing genji reaper and tracer atm and i wish everyone would watch this so they realise how much you can do as tracer even when you arent getting kills.I do most of this stuff but my aim is terrible and i take a little too long to re engage.Great video
Love this video one of the best coaching vids I've seen Awkward dropping some life lessons too! Fnatastic!
love how ppl say "go hitscan" and dont realise tracer IS infact hitscan
Love awkward's coaching style
“Complete Domination” is a great Tracer compliment.
As someone who’s new to overwatch - only 200 hours - and most of my hours being on tracer this is actually so helpful to help me improve, thank you to both svb and awkward seriously
Akward is actually better coach here then in his guide.
-Key to being good tracer is to constantly deal damage from flank while staying in cover and not taking damage. Even if you deal like 20 damage you are actually making space while also distracting their backline.
-You only go full aggro when squishy is out of position or any target falls below 50 hp except tank with cooldowns (Fortify, adaptive shield, nemesis...)
-always do blink melee in a fight it actually makes you reload faster.
-don't blink melee without recall, you may die and its not worth it most of the time.
-Pay attention to enemy cooldowns.
-If you go against hitscan short strafe left to right and back, BUT if you go against projectile strafe to one side while tapping crouch.
-if you get frustrated stop playing or switch to Torb, frustrated tracer is worse then 4v5.
-Some games are unwinable, accept that and learn that some games are also unwinable for opponent.
-Rank doesn't matter, play for fun.
I'm new to ow2 I enjoyed this video and Lauren so much from it ty very much
Bro pulsed the turret 😂😂 but insane gameplay
Love the video, lots of great info and gameplay, but I got to say that the comments made by players is always sad to see. Lots of negativity from people. I don't play competitive as much any more, but you see it in qp almost every game too.
Dude, using this coaching, i went from in ONE DAY, not being able to even play her for 2 minutes to being an absolute menace to the enemy teams and getting POTG twice in a row on my first 2 runs. And ive been winning most of my games. W coaching frfr. I fcking love being that annoying fly that just wont quit 👍
ive been learning tracer for a few weeks trying to implement what awkward is teaching and there are so many times that my own team is flaming for not playing with them but the enemies are saying im good and that im annoying
Im trying to learn tracer and that vidéo will help me for sure, thanks and thanks awkward too
I'm also trying to improve my tracer this video came at a perfect time
“You’re not listening, there is a fake letter”
Funny, its always the tank that's generating zero space and getting owned the one that's first to call out their dps and expect them to carry lol
Love the super toxic text banter In the first game lol
please do one coaching session for Kiriko. Awkward only put out one video about his insane play style. Would love to see him coach you on Kiriko.
Best OW content out right now
If ive ever learned anything about playing tracer its that damage and kills arent even important. Its all about distracting the supports/dps. You keep them looking at you all game and your team wins for free
very helpful videos thanks
The ego of some players is crazy like if your team doesn’t change you can adapt of course there are exceptions but still
ihi could you tell me who made your thumbnail ?? and where u take the mesh for the character on the thumbnail, thank ya =)
Holy shit. Came for an Overwatch coaching and got a life coaching, awesome
If moira damages you before she tps away follow the red dmg indicator to know where she pops up at
the chat complaining from the tank at the beginning, I'd have turned chat off lol
I am not able to implement this playstyle, I just can't blink around and I get focused very hard
Awesome video my friend
51:22 dude it's *always* the Moiras. At this point I wish theyd nerf her just to ego check them.
for real. Most forgiving hero in the game, they really don't need to boost their already copiously inflated egos
If the game was so easy why did he have the most deaths and least damage on the team…AS MOIRA?!?! 😂
And im a Moira main so im not even hating on the character, dude using her is just a dumbass 😂
i think if they remove her entirely the only ones crying would be the moira mains and the dudes who play symmetra and tried to flex support
Good shit. Love hearing coaching. Very, very helpful.
He doesn't track either. He just points in there direction and shoots
The best way to learn how to play a dive character like tracer is to be aggressive. Get used to being in their face and you'll learn quickly what you can get away with and what gets you killed. If youre doing your job the enemy team will have to address you or they'll lose almost every team fight.
It would be so cool to have a coach like this. I do know of a few former players who had the same main as me, but not close enough to ask them. Maybe I should offer to pay? How much for a Diamond coaching a Silver?
Perfect timing, this season I am one tricking tracer to diamond 🎉
So to get better with tracer its keep hiding on wall shoot hide shoot and after got chased and after open team speace and win?
not just tracer, all heroes lol
Havent played ow since ow1. Decided to play some ranked and place on tank (i used to be a tank main). I was carrying hard on zarya one game and my genji was constantly overextending and although he was polite saying sorry about that, both of my bubbles would go to him and i would just play around corners and still get kills and win fights on my own.
We lost and when the game ended he said we didnt win because i never followed up the space he never created. Theres no way he looks at his vod and thinks he's actually carrying the game lol when i had double his stats and half his deaths. Theres always someone complaining instead of just holding their weight and its so annoying
i jusst now realized bastion has a weak spot in his turret form i feel stupid
6:26 idk why but ts blew me. The healing orb is bright orange 🍊 ✨️ hellooooo😂😢😢
he was farming ult charge, not trying to get a kill
Tank players with an ego will never not be funny🤣 that tank in the first game was absolutely a “I lose because of my team” player
Didn't know awkward was player, thought the title was that he had awkward training from a coach lol
I've always wanted to know how to play Tracer correctly. This videos helps a lot, instead of sleeping I need to stay woke and keep shooting. Even at 75 hp I can still shoot if I have recall
I wish this video was 10 hours long because for some reason I just don’t have the game sense to make it to high ranks on tracer. I have the mechanics but not the game sense at all
Shooting way to far away you have the best movement in the game. Come from behind get close apply pressure cause destructions if can get a Pick and reset. And just repeat
Awkward is amazinggg
Tracer tip: glue down mouse button 1
holy the first tank was so annoying
The tank in the first game saying report tracer, wtf why? For not swapping?
Do a baptiste awkward session!
bro that shumbani game had my jaw dropped, man learnt how to play the hardest hero in the game in 2 games to a GM level my god, that outplay on bastion in that one fight was so impressive
you should blink melee way more btw, its 30 free dmg and its very good to finalize targets, another thing is to melee before u use recall because the animation will cancel but you will still do the 30 dmg
It’s just crazy how he isn’t being hard focused every single time he engages lol I swear when I play tracer I’m target priority 1
But what rank are you for real with DPS?
this is so awesome
As a silver console player, idk wtf is happening. Everything is too fast
Awkward is such a brilliant overwatch player and coach.
Well for one you’re aim makes me feel better about my tracer. I felt terrible for not one clipping people constantly. 😅 awkward is amazing at making a case for playing well even without perfect aim. For that reason alone I play a lot of tracer now 🤘
Preemptively avoiding Sahar
He gets panicked easily.
"report tracer" for what, not switching? lmfao
well, the guy is learning and all that jazz, but to be honest, he wasnt playing that good, and people who play ranked and actually want to rank up are not gonna apreciate the fact that some teammate is actually a gm trying to level up yet another account with yet another hero and is willing to lose a game just because is trying to one trick.
@@Kat-xp8zn But if you go to report there aren’t any options for reporting for refusing to switch. One-tricks are really annoying but it doesn’t make sense to report someone for playing badly unless they’re reallyyy throwing, not to mention he’s not playing so bad to warrant a report. Just avoid.
@@Kat-xp8zn He was playing decent enough.
@@Martin-yo8wh for a gm? Naaaaah
Damn hes a great coach
I hope your tank see's this vid.
