i know this isn’t the purpose of your videos but you’re a really chill content creator and your videos help me sleep when i’m dealing with chronic pain and insomnia so thank you for that. i get to learn and also get a good nights rest lol
I do the exact same thing lmao. That’s so funny I thought I was a weirdo. I have a ton of videos I like to watch to help me sleep. And after 10+ years of doing it I have no idea why but I prefer some videos over others. Videos that have a lot of conversation, so debates, or videos that are very “involved” like a competition with commentators. Not sure how else to explain it. Anyways just wanted to share that since I have trouble sleeping and videos like these help me so much. I wish you the best with your chronic pain and wish you deep sleep 🙏
Let, me guess: Off angle, damage damage damage, shoots the people that are killable, dmg before the fight, pal around cover, make that little back and forth dance, dont use ur jump for engaging, use ur dragon to deny space or separate the enemys.
14:20 is one of my fave examples of how GM is different from plat/diamond. you're shooting at the Junkrat expecting him to go back for cover but because it's a low rank, he stands out in the open instead, and you miss all your storm arrows except 1 lol sometimes GM's are easier to predict than plat/diamond because they follow the rules of 'being good' but the lower then ranks, the more 'chaos' is involved.
I have this exact problem a lot. I'm expecting certain reactions because I used to be a high level fps player. Alas, my skill dropped after many years of not playing them
This actually happens all the time in GM. If you get caught out, and you cant make it to cover by the time hanzo can shoot you, you just strafe in the opposite direction back into the open.
This sounds like one of those excuses lower ranks use for why they can't rank up using guides like Awkwards ur2gm: "Your tips don't work in my rank because people play differently". In fact, the first person that replied to you is doing exactly what Im talking about. And this does happen in GM too. In fact, its a tactic to not go immediately back into cover because you know the hanzo (or whoever) will shoot there.
Yeah this is a bronze take as others have pointed out. Low elo will rely on instincts so more often than not, they'll run towards cover after being hit. Once you hit like, not even gold, players start becoming aware and will do what junk rat did to move unpredictably. The game isn't about getting a perfect read 100% of the time. If you notice the enemy behaving one way, you can take advantage of it to abuse it next time. Once you get to master's/gm they might switch up it multiple times per game, but don't worry about that yet. Get a feel for your enemy's mindset and take advantage of it. You'll only get that sense after playing projectile characters for a while.
@@thecowman6807 Maybe i wasn't clear in my comment. This isn't a 'this is why i can't rank up' excuse. i was just pointing out a difference in thought process for lower ranks vs GM. i think we can all agree the Junkrat wasn't thinking "hanzo expects me to go for cover so i'm going to stand out here in the open"
Awkward thank you for your tips and your u2gm series. I went from being a hardstuck bronze 5, to now a gold 2 sup this season. You really changed the way i think about how the game is played. You're awesome man thanks!
Arrge has better mechanics on Hanzo but awkward has way more game sense. Like actual pro player level game sense. Not surprising since he played professionally.Thats why he can get gm in every character. You can see how in his game play style will change according to the situations in his matches.
Awkward I have watched all of your content religiously, I would be so grateful for a genji unranked to GM. That is the one hero I struggle with and would love to see you tackle it! Thank you so much for your amazing content!
He already did a similar video with another assassin character. It's pretty much like Kiriko with less escape options and more damage upfront. If not off angling, then do damage before the fight, get close, off angle, distract. If off angling, set up a position to assassinate a target. Then keep doing damage and use cover, funding opportunities to slip away to start another assassination
6:25 I know hes talking about Arrge. Arrge is definitely a better Hanzo in terms of aim, but Awkward contributes more to the team. If you wanna rank up this is the way
I immediately thought about Arrge too. Arrge is amazing but there are times when he's out of the team fight for like 20 seconds etc cause he's standing still waiting for someone to walk into his crosshair
Saying he has better aim is being very generous, one actively tries to aim and the other waits for people to enter his crosshair... it's not even comparable. I guess when you think games play out like 3-5 sec tiktok clips he does indeed have "better" aim lol.
@@White-zt8qz And I guarantee that if you tried Arrge’s playstyle you wouldn’t be able to hit those shots even if they went into your crosshairs. I’m not wrong at the part where Arrge has better aim, not even being generous. If you bothered to watch this video and compare it to many of Arrges videos, you’d easily argue that Arrge has way better aim.
Between this video teaching me proper positioning and strategy, and the new hitbox changes letting me finally hit shots, I've been absolutely dominating on Hanzo :D
These UR2GM's are really a pleasure to witness, you get to watch a master of the game effortlessly demolish other highly skilled players. This one was in my opinion the most entertaining one I've seen yet. As Awkward has said, there are levels to the gameplay, and he is quite literally at the very highest level. Looking forward to the next one. I think symmetra would be a fun one.
I waited years for a hanzo guide. It finally comes. it starts from diamond where support actually can heal you within 2 seconds and not turn around a full minute after you begged for help.
I dunno about poor Argge but I was thinking about him! His educational angle is sort of more “broad” than awkwards, meaning it’s not as applicable for most players. It is interesting, tho!
@@White-zt8qz I think in a way he’s so good (or “good”) that his errors seem like positives. He can play wrong, win sometimes, and defeat less strong players individually
I’d love see one with Torb 😅 “Set up your turret at an off angle, buy an auto clicker so you can AFK hammer the turret, then enjoy the day while you win the match” Edit: Wow, it seems like some people haven’t heard of jokes 🙄
Tysm awkward I used to be a really bad player at using hanzo but after seeing this video it actually helped me become a way better player at overwatch and I used to be bronze now with your help I’m now grandmaster so thank you awkward I’m going to give you a like and subscribe with the notification bell on so bye and thanks for the help.
Can you do a series where you actually start in Bronze? Unranked to GM is pretty much just Diamond to GM for you since you win all the placements and skip the low elo.
I main hanzo, but I’m hardstuck low masters atm, I was hardstuck plat for YEARS then right at the end of a season (a few ago) I just broke through and shot through, but honestly when I’m carrying as hanzo, my teammates are the biggest hindrance (not so much in my low masters matches, but on my second which is stuck in low plat for example?
When he gave advice for a Tracer vs Hanzo 1v1, just a few games ago I was getting destroyed by a Hanzo, if you’re facing a good Hanzo. Sometimes not moving when you’re going to blink really fucks them over. In essence, try not to autopilot vsing Hanzo. Think about your movement. Sometimes fighting the Hanzo isn’t worth it either, if the Hanzo focuses you, you can focus someone else quicker than he can
So glad awkward is back, went from plat to high master after his coaching. Sounds weird to say you have a fave 'Overwatch player' but Awkward is a top guy and a multi rank 1 player
Thank you so much for this video, I was waiting a Hanzo "guide" like this a lot of time. Ana's guide was very helpful for me, I passed from G3 to D1 following your advices
Bro same. Sonic arrow and scatter arrow synergy was just insane. It just felt like they were designed for each other; sonic arrow on a 10 second duration and a 20 second cooldown, with scatter's 10 second cooldown and immense strength rounding corners.
AWKWARD. Dude i have hated Hanzo for a while. But I started to play him and yes he is ridiculous but I used to SUCK. So I watched this video for about an hour and I started playing a lot more Hanzo. Crazy how I was carrying lobbies and even killing Lucio’s and Mercys! THANK YOU BROTHER
reaper, mei, bastion, genji*, all hitscan*. regarding *, some of these characters can only off angle if they have additional support like a fellow dive character, a tank, or a pocket
I was watching the video in between games and just taking what your saying into consideration while playing is making me so much better as a hanzo especially in the new season it’s amazing thank you so much it’s such a difference that my teammate and enemy team is acknowledging my hanzo gameplay thank you awkward!
Hey awkward. Just got back into OW2 as hanzo and I recognize a lot of the tips you’re saying as things I’ve found out playing on my own. It’s nice to know I’m doing it right. Thanks for the fun watch 😊
He says that there's no one giving out good hanzo advice nowadays. What about Arrge? He's done plenty of educational videos about improving movement aswell as how to predict where they'll go on hanzo. Especially considering the fact that hanzo is a projectile-based hero. Also, Awkward doesn't seem to teach the very important way of thinking on hanzo where you go for the enemy behind the one in front of you. Arrge does. The same thing works for hog.
He would rather just trash talk the guy for no reason. Theres more than one playstyle. Hes top10 and stomps on lower elo players to make money. Hes kinda a douche
Maybe you will never see it, but I absolutely agree with what you said in the stream earlier today. You are helping me to be a better man, a self-accountable person. Thank you.
Thanks for the great videos. I just started playing a little while ago and I already got a 42 kill game on tracer. Your videos helped me improve from 3 to 4 kills a game to 30-40 kills super fast.
Well this aged terribly considering hanzo is a completely different character now with a completely different play style. Not enough people talk about how useless he is now lol oh well f him
Nice vid, thanks for doing this, one thing for me with this playstyle for hanzo is you get less of cool one shot moments which is kinda the fantasy of playing hanzo, but it does look robust to win consistently and your movement is fantastic something i need to learn from, nice one 👍
@@moss7813 yeah of course, but that’s the same with any hero. And aim should gradually improve if you play consistently. Fundamentals are something which takes more focus and implementation. Your fundamentals will rank you up more than your aim
Melio the rank 1 dps just did an unranked to GM on widow and hanzo. He actually does educational too. Very nice if youre learning either of these heros.
imagine having 8000 hours on hanzo like arrge and barely hitting gm5. the "rank 1 hanzo" being outskilled by the rank 1 player on every character, classic
Awkward is awesome but he is not rank 1 player on every character. He may have hit it on every character (which I’m not sure) but to say he’s rank 1 every character is disingenuous. I doubt he’d call himself rank 1 on any character atm cuz he doesn’t play as much and OWL pros still exist.
Part of what makes the plan work is map understanding and using map knowledge to know how to escape effectively and having a plan b if things go bad. Its not as simple as it looks
Honestly you could see a hanzo one trick in diamond with similar aim to awkward. Awkward preaches game sense so it makes sense if you think Arrge is more fun/entertaining, cuz I’d agree.
Hey Awkward, just got to the point in the stream where you are talking about sparkling water and I see all the bottles you have, personally I use a Soda Stream so I only need to refill the Co2 cartridge and it lets me choose the amount of bubbles I want, would recommend as it saves space that would otherwise be taken up by all the bottles. Love the content, have a great day :)
2:33:55, a movie (at least one with a good story) will have a sense of progression. To learn a character and world, witness trials or changes, and resulting growth and lessons (a simplified shorter list of things, but the barest explaination of the concept)
Your U2GMs have helped me get to gm in only a few weeks from being a hardstuck plat 5. But one character id like to see is sojourn u2gm. Idk if you respond to request but here’s hoping
Bro i have waited for Hanzo for a while. Thanks man. I'm gonna immediately do what you say. Btw when I do damage as support my teammates always blames me for not healing. LOL you are always right awkward

I honestly believe it would take him a lot longer to reach GM using a controller. Especially when he has to face against pocketed XIM players
Controller is pretty difficult compared to M&K and the aim assist only makes up for it a little. So I think this would be an amazing idea

Nice vid, thanks for doing this, one thing for me with this playstyle for hanzo is you get less of cool one shot moments which is kinda the fantasy of playing hanzo, but it does look robust to win consistently and your movement is fantastic something i need to learn from, nice one 👍
Hanzo has so much value if you can aim
It’s crazy by now despite everything Awkward teaches this is your comment x)
Aim is the least of it. Fundamentals is king
NPC comment
@@danielmuchui9645u do realize that u have to hit enemies in order to deal damage, right? so he is right, if u can aim, theres a lot more value
@@moss7813 yeah of course, but that’s the same with any hero. And aim should gradually improve if you play consistently. Fundamentals are something which takes more focus and implementation. Your fundamentals will rank you up more than your aim
@DIRTYD33DSDON3DIRTCHEAP Well buddy, I wouldn't be gm1 if I was an NPC, would I?
Melio the rank 1 dps just did an unranked to GM on widow and hanzo. He actually does educational too. Very nice if youre learning either of these heros.
With the new rank coming next season, will you keep doing unranked to GM? Or will you go all the way from unranked to Champion?
8:10 "respect left the game" 👀
I miss Wraxu
This really shows how hanzo is a mid-line shooter, heavily dependant on healers unlike Widow.
“When your good everyone seems like bronze .” -Akward 😂 about 47 minutes In.
That’s a savage thing to say 😅
You’re **
Had to knock out this U to GM real quick before season 9 drops and he becomes completely unusable lol. Always enjoy your content and learning!
arrrrrgee numba wan
arrge has good aim but he was stuck below gm for a while recently.
Finally!
Been waiting for this one! 💯
imagine having 8000 hours on hanzo like arrge and barely hitting gm5. the "rank 1 hanzo" being outskilled by the rank 1 player on every character, classic
You know that if he play with streamer mod on he gets instantly to like gm1 and 2 he only drops when he turns it of
He’s top 500 on his warmup account
Awkward is awesome but he is not rank 1 player on every character. He may have hit it on every character (which I’m not sure) but to say he’s rank 1 every character is disingenuous. I doubt he’d call himself rank 1 on any character atm cuz he doesn’t play as much and OWL pros still exist.
Can you make a short vid and explain briefly what you mean by off angleling in game?
Anywhere other than where your team is. Literally.
Can u do lucio😊
Part of what makes the plan work is map understanding and using map knowledge to know how to escape effectively and having a plan b if things go bad. Its not as simple as it looks
I honestly think arrge's Hanzo is better. Still, it's cool to see another perspective.
Arrges hanzo is stuck in masters
@@Htiy And? What's your point? I like his Hanzo better, i don't care if he's masters or GM
arrges shots are better, but awkward's fundamentals are better.
Honestly you could see a hanzo one trick in diamond with similar aim to awkward. Awkward preaches game sense so it makes sense if you think Arrge is more fun/entertaining, cuz I’d agree.
This was before the hanzo nerf.
1:06:12 😂
1:27:54 DAYUM
1:30:00 💀
4:05:33 💪🏼
4:27:11 was such a satisfying 3K.
4:36:48 poor Genji.
5:11:48 😩
6:18 I would call that “camping” 😂
Are you going to do a Cass one. I main Cass and he is a very difficult DPS hero to play. I need some guidance.
how do i get that crosshair i know it’s probs dumb question but i need to know
Default
With the new season this is a blessing thx
Good video as always, would love to see a doomfist unranked to gm
I think this is genuinely the second time I’ve seen awkward push the payload lol
Hey Awkward, just got to the point in the stream where you are talking about sparkling water and I see all the bottles you have, personally I use a Soda Stream so I only need to refill the Co2 cartridge and it lets me choose the amount of bubbles I want, would recommend as it saves space that would otherwise be taken up by all the bottles. Love the content, have a great day :)
Love ya awkward! Great content as always!😊
Let's all give respect to Cory Baxter for donating his new account to Awkward.
hey awkward do you think you can do unranked to gm with bastion only?
he will end up doing one with every hero just be patient
2:33:55, a movie (at least one with a good story) will have a sense of progression. To learn a character and world, witness trials or changes, and resulting growth and lessons (a simplified shorter list of things, but the barest explaination of the concept)
Your U2GMs have helped me get to gm in only a few weeks from being a hardstuck plat 5. But one character id like to see is sojourn u2gm. Idk if you respond to request but here’s hoping
"Unranked to Champion" is gonna be crazy. Ngl it kind of has a nice ring to it.
This guy gets it ,uptime is so crucial in this game.
Bro i have waited for Hanzo for a while. Thanks man. I'm gonna immediately do what you say. Btw when I do damage as support my teammates always blames me for not healing. LOL you are always right awkward
45:28 this shot was nastier than the Olympic scẽine water in Paris
1:30:25 no shot the lagging symbol popped up. That was funny dude😂
awkward u2gms are a must watch
Ever hears about Arrge???
That flick against the sombra at 45:28 crazy bro
This is gonna be a treat I've never seen a Hanzo U2GM
