Ya this is something that was surprising to me when I would watch gm tank players. My first assumption was that they would have crazy uptime and mechanics getting kills (which is what I'd attempt). But then watching their vods, they would play like 5x slower than me. Very interesting how important it is to simply not die
That poor Masters 1 Zen just walking out of spawn, completely unaware that he is about to be get tactically nuked by a 100 charge Zarya. Awkward: "He's overextending he dies."
Also god damn whenever I watch an awkward video I climb entire ranks. I don't subscribe to many people but Awkward is definitely on there after this banger.
Do i find myself feeding? - I main ball Do i find myself over extending? - I main ball Do i find myself not knowing when to go in? - Im either in their spawn or mine.
@@Wutwut1n1 That is his goal for you to get into the academy cuz if you think the free stuff is good then the paid will be even better. I am not complaining.
I'm diamond on both support and dps but on tank I keep going on either huge win streaks or loss streaks that have me going back and forth between bronze 5 and silver 1. Ive gained some insight into the different kind of mindset needed as a tank player thanks to this video, hopefully I can apply it properly.
Hate towards tank players comes from people always thinking their role is the hardest, “Im allowed to hate because my role is harder” yet they offrole and cant get anything done on either of the other roles and get even mader and driect that hate towards the players on that role
@@Celtic_Mav Why are you explaining hate towards tank players when the comment you're replying to is talking about the tank role itself? You're talking to yourself in a bubble friend
Thanks for the explanations in the video. Biggest thing for me was being Patient. Been spending months falling between plat1-3. Played today and finally reached Diamond 5 after months of trying. Thanks.
hey awkward i dont know if you’re gonna see this or not but first of all i love ur honesty and attitude as a content creator, u are truly a real one. i wanted to say im a person who doesn’t really care about my rank, maybe some would disagree but i like to play qp LOL but i still really enjoy your videos a lot! im currently diamond but thank u so much for making amazing content for us! sorry for the long ahh comment 😭🙏
First of all, i love this more general format. Because there are many fundamentals that are the same no matter which tank you play. Secondly, i love your beanie. Is it a known brand? edit: Would you recommend watching this first to new viewers before watching specific unranked to GM's? And possibly make this is as the core principles? Or do you think it doesn't matter? What i know at least is that you follow the same principles in the 'Unranked to GM's' and it could be taught easily from watching those if one pays good attention and are willing to change and learn. Reason for this question is i have not analysed which one gives you more value as a first time watcher, as i have been watching you for 2 years it is impossible for me to say. This will be quite the long message but i have a tip for people new to this educational content. If you are a long time overwatch player i would recommend that you play games as you are watching the video and focus on each implementation alone in each game. For example in the first game, you focus on cover usage. Second game you focus on timing and so on. After you have played a game with focusing every principle, you can attempt to bring it home by implementing everything. Learning takes time especially when you have hard set patterns because of your playtime. So have patience, and the first skill you should acquire is policing yourself and being strict.
Bro..... hes like "ya i just did this n this... simple. very simple gameplay guys come on... SIMPLE...." goes 35-2 with 20k dmg DOUBLING the next nest pesons dmg... like brooo.. WE CANT ALL DO THAT lol its not simple. stop saying that.. yes ur mechanics are simple... but the aim and game knowledge is far superior!
hey awkward, thanks for being strong ... not playing this game anymore, but learned a lot about life in general and now everything is my fault but it's awesome & my dreams are slowly coming true ❤😊
Mr. Awkward would you say it makes any sense to play doom into sombra+cassidy or just either one of them rn on competitive im gold 2 after first starting to play tank playing zarya for ground and doom for verticality and got 100% winrate on doom and 82% on zarya when I play QP i keep getting counterpicked and wonder if that will continue once higher rank on comp.
My toxic trait is thinking I can play like awkward after watching 5 minutes of the video
But isn't that what we Wish?
We always come Back to improve and want to play like Awkward or any other T500
I mean on some of the maps it's ez Havana defense has always been so simple just go Hog
Dang never thought of it like that.
Tank requires the most patience to play properly. Huh, no wonder I'm cheeks at it.
cant tell you how many times i went in and fed as winston because i treated him like tracer lol. it takes a lot of patience

- zenyatta literally in the spawn
- Awkward: "this guy is overextending, he dies" *Zarya lazer noises*
43:02
lmao
When you're energy is 100, everyone is overextending
Awkward: You are isolate and killable
That part actually made me rethink how I spawn hold that spot.
DMG DMG OFFANGLES OFFANGLES MARVEL RIVALS
I don't think the strategy would be much different in marvel rivals lol
Why does that Marvel Rivals thing feels soo off
😅

If you’re masters 1 you know zar is full charged lol.
@@michaelpurdy9165 well he is indeed masters 1 idk what to tell you bro 😅

Fuck it, we Ball
😆🤣
Doomfist mains 🤝 Ball mains
You explain the game in such a simple way, makes it easy to learn from your videos
Free Rankup Academy 😎

Zen barely out of spawn room... "HES over extended he dies"
Tank players needed this
I‘m a top500 support main and only diamond on tank, but I honestly have the most fun on tank. I never understand the hate on the role in OW2
When team sucks, then you can only do 2 things. Afk and wait for opportunities or try to carry and feed
Hate towards tank players comes from people always thinking their role is the hardest, “Im allowed to hate because my role is harder” yet they offrole and cant get anything done on either of the other roles and get even mader and driect that hate towards the players on that role
Simple 2 dps and 2 supports means you can blame the other one but only 1 tank means the failures of taking space is your fault
It’s the pressure. The team “usually” can’t progress without you.

Awkward 🤝 Choice = Unstoppable duo
“My team can 4v1 a monkey”
Me in my diamond lobbies telling that to my team who keeps
Screaming for peel

I like these guides in Top 500 way more than Unranked to GMs.
Loving the video. Would've loved to just see you on every tank to give tips on every tank tho. But great video anyhow.

Thank you awkward you’re the best
Damage damage damage
Finally it’s out 🙏🙏
Just what i needed
I watched this video, played tank and won 5 games in a row with max 3 deaths. I love your videos!
Been waiting for this video all week!! Thanks for the content
It would be better if you put the text box (tips) in the bottom of the screen so i can still see.

awkward is the best player ive ever seen
Finally, a tank video! Thanks a lot❤
Corners are friend is what I learned
man you are that guy!! love the video bro!!
Go in with cooldown. Go out without cooldown
Babe wake up new awkward coaching video
hey awkward, thanks for being strong ... not playing this game anymore, but learned a lot about life in general and now everything is my fault but it's awesome & my dreams are slowly coming true ❤😊
is the video sped up? it feels faster than usual game
I thunk the footage is a teeny tiny bit sped up, it's really odd😂 but doesn't really matter
@@k24kai06 yeah if you set it 0.9 speed, it seems normal
1:57 Meanwhile my Doomfist that dives 1v5 using all his cooldown, dying then types:
HEALSSS???????
Are you going to play marvel rivals ?
Tank is easiest role for me, because i control game. When i play support or damage and my tank plays poorly its so much harder to win.
The sombre elim @22:05? I've watched this 10 times not understanding how you did that
Thank you for this vid~
Ever since i switched to marvel rivals my life has drastically improved
Mr. Awkward
would you say it makes any sense to play doom into sombra+cassidy or just either one of them rn on competitive im gold 2 after first starting to play tank
playing zarya for ground and doom for verticality and got 100% winrate on doom and 82% on zarya when I play QP i keep getting counterpicked and wonder if that will continue once higher rank on comp.
Man, I would love to see mauga guide

I can't take this seriously after watching antoncoco
Hadi the counter swaper lol

Awkward you gonna play marvel hero’s?
35:37 1:15:46 1:27:39
the lucio in the first game is amazing🎉
Why tf would anyone wanna play tank lmao... do yall not value your own sanity
Someone has to
HE ACTUALLY MADE THE TANK GUIDE LET’S GOOOOO
It's a different version of "counterwatch". Instead counter picking, you counter cool downs. Attack/use your cooldowns after they use theirs.
Unrelated but I would love to see awkward play marvel rivals.
Especially Mantis since she's basically Zenyatta + Anna.
❤
