I’m a 50 year old mom who plays with her adult children. Stuck in bronze and I don’t care! I’m now addicted to this lovely little game and my boys and I play every night after work!
I'm 52 also! But I think I'm Silver at least I as the last time I played comp which was in OW1. But "oldest player in...." my ass. 40 year olds thinking they're old SMH.
I love when Flats genuinely helps someone hard stuck in Bronze. Don’t get me wrong, I love when he flames an overly cocky Plastic 5 player but when he actually takes the time to explain to someone how they can improve or what they’re doing wrong I love it.
That's why I watch these to learn. I think it's what helped me place out of bronze (still silver, but I'm aware my positioning and aim tracking needs work)
@@ZatralTMF Same! I actually made it to Silver 5 the other day - but will def employ Flats advice here - perhaps I can keep Silver :D (I'm the guy he's spectating in this one)
@@FynSpace Keep it up man, the fact your even playing tank in of itself is hard enough. i have hundreds of hours in overwatch and i dont touch tank. i dont. its just sleep anti nade bastion reaper rein pin. and dead. Keep grinding and youll improve. i believe it
Respect! Love reading that. Nevermind the glasses, I've got friends in their early thirties who can't do anything on a monitor without binocular specced glasses so you're fine :)
@@altervisi7748oh man.. make sure to take breaks when playing that one LOL. I agree though, multiplayer can be a bit annoying at times with so many people raging all the time. Nice to chill out 😎
at 3:20, i think the reason he looked down wasnt for vortex but to try to replace the shield without realizing it was on cooldown. mostly because if you notice, he looks at the floor randomly every so often but it's primarily when hes taking a lot of damage from shots being fired at him, because you notice it again a minute later at 4:13, again 11:37, and again at 12:00, aaaand 18:50
exactly this, probably just not used to the cooldowns yet, but tbf they said its theur first season. i had the same thing with ram, so i recognised the behaviour like "omg!! i do that!"
This is absolutely what I was doing. I've since realized this and am trying to pay more attention to the cooldowns. I've actually considered playing at 16:9 again (I'm on a ultrawide) to see if that would make keeping an eye on my health and cooldowns a little easier. When Flats called out I was running in at 100hp, I can say with confidence I was unaware it was that low.
@@FynSpace I mean yeah! Def give it a try and see if that helps you! Your gameplay wasnt bad, just poor decision making at times, but knowing the monitor situation, it definitely explains a bunch of the more common mistakes you were making!
this feels like a 'you aren't playing OW if you haven't done this' thing. my fave is trying to thank someone for helping me (B) and accidentally hitting my emote key instead (N). nothing like sitting down mid-team fight as Mercy because your tank saved you.
my kiri for some reason didnt register the custom ping wheel, so ill fotget and spam omw which is top, and then accidentally do the thank you emote AND U CANT CANDCEL IT WHYYYYY
The oldest? LOL, I’m 50+ draining them souls left and right as Moira in Mayhem. Still hitting the DDR pad too! FDC Yellow #5 just hit us different growing up I guess
I keep thinking “what is that rein doing” but then I remember the stupid stuff I did when I was in bronze and realize bronze me makes this rein look like a genius
As someone who is hard stuck bronze and silver it helps a lot watching flats coach another low elo player I’d love to see more instructive vids like this
@@big_brain34 I agree with him, have been playing video games since I was 6. 23 years later, it's clear things were more sweaty back in the day. Less entitled behavior, as well.

52 year old mom who plays with her daughter nightly- LOVE it!! Tried rank and was plat/ was always scared of rank, lol. Been playing since 2017 and cannot get enough!.
The cool thing I always liked about this game, is it's always had young and old gamers playing together. Not many titles can say they have such a wide range of players, age wise.
I feel like this is understated. Ram nemesis block + sitting on the payload to get the passive healing. The more hp, the more tank you can be. If you realllllllllly need to hold the payload on attack.
Hello, as a I main Ramattra I want to share a few tips. 1. Shield first, then use your gun. 2. Then throw down your circle and then go in punching. Then you back up, repeat 1 -> 2. I can guarantee you will win every battle.
one of the ways i use vortex is throwing it on locations like corners and such to see if someone is there or not, if it starts ticking then someone is obviously there but if not then there's a chance they ain't currently there
Glad to see the varying ages in the comments 🥰 i'm 27 tuesday and I love seeing games that can have a large group of ages, it's really fun :) Overwatch 1 was gold and the second is kind of meh, but it's fun with company
Hahaha love the comments here. My dad got me into gaming when I was like 10 and we finally got a PS1 (though he's turning 70 soon and I'm in my mid 30s now). He never really got into online games outside of some Warcraft though. But keep it up moms & dads! Love it. Being able to play with your kids even if its just for funsies every now and then is absolute gold and they'll love that you did for sure.
had a kid on my team tell me shooting pylons didn't matter while also telling me he was trying to follow Frogger's footsteps (he had 652 healing at the end of the match, i do not know how)
Honestly I just tell all the bronze people I know to watch these videos because they don’t get the basics and you go over them very well. Like the playing the corners not just being by the corner
54 year old Grandfather here. Support main and play most nights as a wind down (or wind up) before bed. Find it actually keeps your mind and reactions sharp. Accepted that Gold/Silver is as good as its going to get at my age. But I'll keep trying anyway.
I learned playing rainbow six and other games that being "30" is old and i feel like im turning to dust all you guys at 40 thank you im hoping i can be as cool as you guys 10 years from now! Yall are the real heroes and "heroes never die"~mercy
I am 56. Haven't bothered playing that much ranked. Bronze 4 last season, but the game is so much fun still. Reaching 300 hours in game. Well... The addiction is there.
I'm 51 year old mom who got into this game after watching my daughter play this game with her nephew. Love spending time with the kids haha, although they get mad at me if I die in a stupid way 😆
Honestly, this is the first flats video I stuck around till the end for. There's a Reddit post that talks about flats being the voice of OverWatch and how that's concerning because of his rampant negativity whether justified or not. Has someone else mentioned above? He was a lot more positive and encouraging this time and honestly I'd love to see that side of him more often.
43 doesn’t make someone a boomer. GenX/millennial yes. Boomers are 60+ it’s pretty common for GenX and millennials to still be playing video games as we grew up during the greatest time of video games and it’s stayed a pretty big part of our lives.

This is very wholesome and I love it.
Aww, that's awesome 😊
oh my god this is so cute ❤
That's awesome. My kiddo and I play daily. Don't get me wrong, I've well accepted my place in comp at the bottom :D
Aw that's so sweet
I'm 52 and my main tank is Ramattra and Rein. My son got me into it, but he's a filthy Junkrat main lol

Filthy 😂
I love the change of passion when Flats is helping out an older gamer.
well, until the emote
He is a great dude
I love when Flats genuinely helps someone hard stuck in Bronze. Don’t get me wrong, I love when he flames an overly cocky Plastic 5 player but when he actually takes the time to explain to someone how they can improve or what they’re doing wrong I love it.
Yeah, he actually pointed out quite a few things I had no idea I was doing... And while laughing my ass off.

I love hearing about older gamers cause it relieves me to hear alot of them just enjoy the game, past that stage of rage
Rage comes from online games sometimes playing some single player titles is good to take a break.
@@toxiczombiewolf5692 unfortunately I'm still on Elden Ring as my single player game at the moment so it's not much of a rage break😂

"Overwatch 2 BOOMER edition: 'im 43'"
this is spectating bronze: elder millennial edition XD
Based on the title I thought he was going be In his 70’s playing this game.
same!
There was a 60-something Dva player that was featured in Jay3's channel. 43 is no big deal to me
Same, 40 is not even that old for a gamer. They grew up with gaming consoles.
Honestly I hate emoting in the middle of shit but sometimes I end up doing it cuz I'm a casual who fucks up my buttons all the time
Thats so real. I had to remove the emote option from my ping wheel bc it has gotten me killed 😭

5:29 lmaoooo it took me 5 and a half minutes to realize you're NOT wearing a stripped Shirt.... lol😅😂
14:26 and only noticed because of your comment
My dad plays too haha, he's 47 and he plays sombra and bastion. Sometimes DVA
This is so incredibly wholesome & refreshing. Thanks for the great content Flats, as always!
I keep thinking “what is that rein doing” but then I remember the stupid stuff I did when I was in bronze and realize bronze me makes this rein look like a genius
7:37 say that again?
I love seeing all these older players coming in to check in. It's honestly awesome.

@Flats. How dare you calling this player old. That hurts. I'm older. You hurt my soul.
boomers were born 1946 to 1964, poor dad is being pushed two generations back
43 Is kind of old, poor guy is getting destroyed by 11 year olds with their fast ass fingers
Not at all. Im actually constantly confused as to why kids suck at video games so much these days compared to when I was playing them as a kid.

14:15 Shoutout to that Moira, they were just as annoyed as Flats lmao
Flats is like the Gordon Ramsay of overwatch
Cant beileive Flats just spoiled the next rein patch they are putting out at 16:28
I remember i emoted on accident in the middle of a fight and then i got solo shattered ...

As someone the same age, loved seeing flats not tear submitters ass apart this one time.
This Reinhardt was truly a player of all time
had a kid on my team tell me shooting pylons didn't matter while also telling me he was trying to follow Frogger's footsteps (he had 652 healing at the end of the match, i do not know how)
I just realized that the characters in game do not cast shadows on the floor.
Just something I found curious
I genuinely love this Ramatra player
43 years old and playing tank . THIS GUY IS A WARRIOR !!
I'm 35 and I enjoy this game a lot more by simply not playing ranked lmao
I love how the comments for this video is the Avengers for old people
You'll get there, too.
Honestly I just tell all the bronze people I know to watch these videos because they don’t get the basics and you go over them very well. Like the playing the corners not just being by the corner
I don't know why, but I died at 16:30 when he said "Rein mini shield isn't real, it can't hurt you" 😂

No, he did not say "you are not that guy" man I'm dead
THAT'S SUCH A CUTE CHARM I NEED IT SO BAD
This Ram has potential for sure. Great advise also.
i genuinely feel bad for anyone above 35 when they lose something, so i feel bad for this guy, its weird i wanna cry
I NEED that "please shoot the pilon" sound byte😂😂😂😂😂😂😂😂 PLEASE @FLATS
I'm old but was an arcade master back in the day so still can mix it up with the kids.
As a new Ram main I have this problem of overextending too. When using nemesis you feel unstoppable. You are not. Back up and play with your team.
