      @@DxXNA Exactly. One of the easiest way to tell is how Awkward disengages fights, where most metal supports would just stay in their position forever and inevitably die - meaning they have guaranteed 10 second downtime during respawn, and then another 15 seconds walking back from spawn, then 5 secs setting up in a position again, basically every lost fight Awkward gains 30 seconds of uptime potential just because he disengages well - even with a healbot playstyle that will amount for a lot of value over the course of a match.

    A lot of people think - man, I have healing abilities, so that's what I need to do.
    If you do enough damage the enemy team has to back up, you have to do LESS healing overall since there is less resources being put into your team. If they look at you and not your tank, your tank is not dying. Your DPS can peek a bit wider, it is a better experience all around.

  • @davidkamps9879
    @davidkamps9879 6 месяцев назад +4

    Ive played a bit of ranked this season. Mostly as lifeweaver. The projectile changes made shooting with him more consistent. You still need to heal a lot but your playstyle depends on the enemy comp. If there’s a lot of dive you either need to focus on killing the people diving you or denying them when they dive your team. If the enemy is playing widow you basically have to go kill her because pull is invalidated by one shots. The character feels good so long as the enemy team is playing a comp you can use your cooldowns against.

    The avg player will look at this and say "but you can only play like that because you have good mechanics"
    - and they would be right! But more crucially, the fact that they're right just highlights that they are simply not mechanically adept enough to effectively rank up, but with this playstyle now they're at least aware of it, unlike healbotting where you never actually have to confront your real issues and shortcomings as a player.
    You can hold M1 in the general direction of your team as Kiri all you want, there won't be a difference between a bronze and a gm in that regard. Takes no skill. And because it takes no skill, it also doesn't punish you for bad plays, whereas if you're playing with Awkward's approach then you either hit your shots or you don't. There's no grey zone of thinking you're better than you are.
    The avg player thinks they're way better than they are, and they're afraid to apply playstyles that forces them to confront their true weaknesses, because then they'd actually have to do work to rank up, rather than just blame their team and throw a fit on reddit.

    @ubemvuossas665 6 месяцев назад +6

    I'm gonna be honest, with all this "dmg dmg dmg" and "sure you might not hit the same shots that I do" I'd be genuinely interested in something like bap or ana unranked to gm with a controller (since ow on pc has no aim assist afaik), sure the fundamentals are important and positioning is important too, but sometimes I genuinely feel like some matches you pop off so hard it's unreasonable for anyone to get to that level without dedicating to the game religiously like a full time job (last zen video for example).
    From my point of view I watch a lot of people stuck in metal ranks playing similarly to what awkward says, I didn't know he was that popular before this tbh, yet he still believes in "the reason you're in gold is because of your fundamentals", and I genuinely wonder how do these people apply these things pretty decently in matches yet seem stuck or just really miserable stats compared to awkward. (And I know, they might have some flaws, or some part of the fundamentals are not being applied correctly or whatever might be the nitpick, that's exactly why I'm interested in awkward, supposedly perfect fundamentals guy, to do this)
    I don't play the game myself, just recently caught some interest, and I like what awkward says about it, but at some point he HAS to take into account the amount of damage you are able to feasably replicate yourself, the pressure on the enemy team awkward puts out is actually something I barely see anywhere else, trying to hit shots is better than doing nothing but at what point is mechanical skill actually more important than fundamentals?

However I feel like he always talks about the methods but never the execution, it's like saying "walk" to a baby, they might've seen someone walk before, they probably understand what needs to happen, but the baby is not exactly as "talented" to just start walking without dedicating a year to learn how to, and even then it won't be able to walk for long or even run.
      I used to see overwatch here and there before 2 was released, but it was always like competitions with very technical commentary, so it was very hard to follow and eventually stopped seeing it, it appeared on my feed again one day, a video from a guy explaining the new 5v5 formula, and putting into simple "strategy" type of speech, so I kinda kept watching, then character guides that explained how to play as group, what works/doesn't, it felt completely different than watching a competitive stream with no commentary, so I got drawn into it.
      I started playing the game actually few days after this comment, I don't take it as seriously as these streamers, so I'm not exactly tryharding the concepts they talk about and honestly I still don't know what I'm doing most of the time because it can get a bit overwhelming at times so much stuff going on, but I keep them in mind, I still stand by my desire for him to completely hinder his mechanical skill, I watch from time to time and he pops off so hard some rounds and then shrugs it off as "a blind monkey with no arms can do this".

      Your conclusions are 100% accurate. I play on controller and I mainly play support. This video popped up on my YT feed and after watching it my level of play has taken a massive hit. I literally have not won a match since watching this video. Gonna go back to my heal "botting" next time I play. I'm plat so players are decent. If I take an off angle, 2 or 3 players collapse on me when I start putting on dmg. I will usually just die or have to peel back and leave my team to a 4v5 with half the heals as the other team, unless I hit all my shots AND 70%+ of them have to be headshots (which is nearly impossible on controller).

  • @eliesaad

    Here are some tips on how to play lw in plat: use pull as soon as you get it, the main purpose of it is to heal, and occasionally save people IF fate dictates and you have it off CD when you need it to save someone, oh and let's not forget using pull if someone is diving you and ulting you to secure a double kill for the enemy or just pulling to throw the game because you decided it's time to play defensively while sitting in narnia. Your petal is solely used to hinder your dps's aim and nothing else. The petal should be used off CD as well and is always thrown right below your DPS or tank for no good reason at all. Your needles? We don't know what that is I don't think they even exist. Your ult is used either defensively when the team is pushing, ergo does not benefit the team, or aggressively in a lost team fight to keep the tank up after your entire team died. Hope this helps. ♥PS: no I am not making this up, this is based on real experience.
