As someone who gets really bad lag every few weeks, the standing still thing can somewhat be on account of that. Lag in Overwatch is weird because the main thing it impacts is the movement, so it'll look like everything's normal (you can aim/shoot) but you can't actually move. This definitely seemed like there was times this wasn't the case which would be why he's bronze, however for the most part it looked like lag spikes.
I have experienced it too, so I can relate. Since season 2 my lag and packet loss problems have gotten so bad to the point it makes it feel unplayable because im moving in 5 different directions all at once meanwhile other people see me moving in one direction or not moving at all for a few seconds.
definitely the reason he was prefireing so much, there was a time when my pc was dying and although I didn't play much, when I did I had to prefire constantly because by the time I could react to the enemy they were already gone.
@@kingchorus bro what? Who is checking their phone every minute or two during a comp game? Real ladder pros are able to cram half their food into their mouths and reply to that important text in the few seconds it takes to respawn.
Zen watching soldier run away than die to hanzo ult is like watching those movies where some pole is falling from above and instead of stepping to the side runs the length of the pole
You keep saying that this is not educational, but this is actually the most educational series I've ever seen, and it's also fun to watch. As a new player it helped me a lot
The standing still and shooting reminded me of a symmetra on my team yesterday that I watched because she threw the third round on Lijiang Tower. Stood still to place a turret and still moved their mouse three times to aim at a spot on the wall. Literally stood still and couldn't aim at a wall... in gold. I just love the idea that the ability to "hit the broad side of a barn" develops some time after gold rank.
I often wonder what is going on with people who visibly struggle so much with basic game mechanics and I've decided its just too much information for their brains to process. From being able to make decisions and know what to do during games to being able to work multiple buttons at a time. Its just too much of a mental overload. The crazy thing to me is that so many of them have convinced themselves they are doing well and should be higher. Like they genuinely don't recognize how bad they are doing.

One thing that you learn quick playing a healer/support in any game: Do not stand still. I get it, he's lagging but it's still a good thing to mention.
had someone in my ranked match yesterday that didnt know that suzu cleansed ana and rein ult, the team was teaching them that entire ranked match so im not that surprised
Love seeing Flats incredulous over individual and team plays in these spectating bronze videos. I just nod to myself and go “Yup, as a lifetime bronzer, that tracks,” and sip my tea.
I don’t know if it’s just me, but this is something that just randomly got me wondering since I’ve been rewatching Flats’ other videos. Is the Keaton who plays Moira in this game also the same Moira who was in a spectating Bronze video where a Rein never got healed? You can look up the video if you wanna know what I mean.
14:16 in his defense he was literally trynna harmony the hanzo but the game was like "well you ARE stacked with this bastion at full health, surely you meant for him to receive the orb"
10:30, this is one of the moments that show the REAL talent of bronze, I couldn’t do that even if I TRIED… and thats coming from a person who was like 300 sr on some dark ages
I left this comment on another video but I figured it was a bit more topical to put here. I had a thought for fixing Discord Orb and I figured I might as well share it here. Basically, make Discord's effectiveness decrease the longer it's on a target. So if you put it in say Orisa it starts at +25%, them after a few seconds it goes down to +20% or so, so on and so forth. Then you put it on someone else and it goes back to +25%, but you'll still have to wait before putting back on Orissa. This way you can't use it exclusively on the tank because the longer it's on one target the less powerful it becomes
@@PurpleMoon799 I was thinking that instead of a cool down they could give everyone a separate discord stat that goes down the longer they have discord in them and goes back up when it's off with the amount of damage amplification being based on that stat, it something to that effect. Admittedly I don't know that much about programming and there might be an easier way by I feel like this wouldn't be too complicated of a change and it would fix the problem of the tank always taking 25% extra damage just because the enemy team is running Zen

I am a little scared to think people can actually be this bad. I really hope that most of the time these bronze players are very new to mouse and keyboard sometimes
I kinda think it's admirable that this person still plays games while having so much issues due to hardware etc. For me that shows that this person truly likes the game despite the obvious limitations that the hardware causes. Now do I think he should que into ranked? Maybe not but if he is bronze he can't go much lower and people are still losing to discord orbs. This person basically just loves the game while having so much trouble while playing it but despite all of it they still do. I just hope eventually they get a better pc at some point and are able to enjoy the game even more. Thank you for submitting this gameplay it was enjoyable to watch.
