That bronze tracer pulse bomb at 5:13 was better than any Jay3 pulse bomb I've ever seen.

He had ok mechanics on widow, On torb he had the mechanical skill of a dying blind duck, How does that even work!?

'You're not the tank, you're not the tank, you're not the tank.' I tell myself this all the time since switching to a dps player, from playing tank for 6 years.

big bad chat making fun of the missed shots of the bronze asking for help on what he can do better

I really love how Emongg always stays so encouraging while giving advice during these VOD reviews.

Thanks for spectating me Emongg! A few thoughts: - I'm not sure why I didn't take high ground more, I instinctively know to, but sometimes I just don't. That is something I've been trying to get better at more consistently, but I definitely tunnel vision. - Torb is definitely not a comfort pick for me. An annoying Tracer is something I struggle with and I probably let them get in my head too much. I also don't have an explanation for why I didn't ult on that first point there lol - On Sym I legitimately forgot that I can ult from spawn (also not a comfort pick). No excuses there. - I have a lot of hours on Widow, which is why my aim isn't the worst, but I think I'm just not used to getting punished as much as I should be for swinging wide or standing in the open because I've been in low ELO for so long. More often than not I outduel other Widows in my ELO, but as soon as I start getting pressed I swap, so I don't end up climbing with her. - Another comment I'll make is that I almost exclusively played quick play for most of Overwatch 1. I only started playing Competitive later in OW1 and especially in OW2 so I think I ingrained a lot of habits from more casual playing that I'm still trying to correct. Not that it's an excuse for bad play, but for a long time I never seriously put the effort in to actually be a better player. When I did put in more effort it was usually on tank, as I'm a tank main and have generally enjoyed that role the most. - Another thing I've noticed about myself is I get impatient. A perfect example is that shot on the deflecting genji. In hindsight I don't know WHY I did that, because he was obviously deflecting. I legitimately just think I got impatient and/or panicked. - I've gone back up to Silver since. Hopefully this time I can stay there!

Man... I feel this person's pain being a bronze that kissed silver and went back down to bronze...

9:36 torb ult behind the enemy Would've been a garuanteed team wipe. As they'd have to choose between running through coom or into an ulting ramattra

Man was saving torb ult for OW3

As someone who almost exclusively plays support, if you're in the back-back line (like widow, or maybe hanzo/ash) I might not notice you've been hit until it's too late. A single "I need healing" is VERY helpful.

I love that he is more excited when they do well then for the opportunity to make fun of them 18:55 I think a live coaching video would be so fun to watch

Hello Bob, if you read this. Try to stick to one hero or two. You seem to enjoy Widow, focus on her. Maybe with Torb, if you struggle against flankers. You're playing too many heroes, it's better to stick to a few and to know how to play them well. This is coming from someone who spent a lot of years in bronze. And I got out by one tricking Soldier, and then I did the same on Ashe and then Hanzo. It's the most efficient way to climb up.

Got 1200 hours myself and i've been a mid-high gold since 2017, so i feel this mans pain a little.

Emongg was giving tips and encouraging him meanwhile his chat was trash talking like crazy

Anyone else gonna say? Ight I will. BOB! DO SOMETHING!

man reading bobs self description hit a little too close to home lol

I'm glad emongg isn't dooming over pve. Great content as always

im a qp fiend but watching these have made me want to go back into comp...i started actually using high ground as dva after watching emongg spectating vods and it has made SO much difference lol

I've been playing since the launch of OW1. I was bronze there and I'm still bronze now. I make it to silver every now and then and the highest I ever made it was gold on OW1. I'm sure my mechanical skill has improved over time but I just must not be good enough to climb, since I've never managed to consistently. I do love the advice given in these reviews and I'm gonna keep trying to improve my own game sense.

My favorite thing is people 1hp spamming I need healing while the other support is dead and they're standing directly beside a mega.

Emongg’s encouragement and his excitement over a good play is everything 🥺🥺

i am the same way. i feel like my game sense is good and my mechanical skill is decent. seeing videos like these where things are fully explained as opposed to dunking on them and being angry while coaching is so good!

That tip about the sound settings is legit. I only turned it on recently after like 700 hours in this game. It makes such a difference 😭

Another thing is the way you drop torb and symmetra turrets. If they face the other way instead of where they are supposed to focus they take a bit more time turning around

gets ult as widow: uses it right away gets ult as torb/sym: waits until the round ends before remembering they have an ult

I always get anxious when someone stops moving just to slowly aim, i feel always theres a headshot coming right away xD

As a support main, I mostly get annoyed with people saying they need healing, especially if they spam it. But I have, on occasion, laughed out of embarrassment when I’m busy thinking about strategy or looking for the Widow between fights, and someone right next to me needed to be healed. Oopsie. 😂

I love how excited you're getting from him doing good. Its so adorable xD

Really love these, keep um up!

The unfortunate thing with his Soldier play near the end is that he clearly wanted high ground but didn't know how to get up there. He should probably try to learn the maps better but I also think after 1k hours you should know better 🤷🏻‍♂️

5:44 has me fucking belly laughing dude “ITS TIME LETS GO” 😭

I think the biggest glaring issues, that I see, are ability usage, aim tracking (very apparent on the soldier), and positioning. Widow aim seems decent but the rest of the picks didn't look great. I wonder how much mouse room they have.

Emonggs enthusiasm is the best!

On Widow, he shot at the tank too much imho. He definitely tried to hit non-Widow squishies and got a bodyshot or two in, but he could have focused more on them considering how little consideration they had for his LoS. (Great example being Kiriko at like 2:28. She got body shot, left LoS, and basically got right back into it before being fully healed.) Another note, but I think he could do well with taking some deep breaths when playing Widow! He hit some good shots at range, but as soon as they got close he entirely lost his composure and panicked. Knowing how to breath when that happens can help a lot.

Question if your dedicated to playing widow during third point like the submitter would it be better to use the machine gun for poke since it is a closed in area?

I wouldn't say it was a dps battle since it seemed like they lost way more often than they won but they hit some good shots as widow

as a support main, if you need healing, tap i need healing once or twice (i get twice if ur on low hp and literally terrified lol) and say thanks! after and ill love you forever LOL

i want some kind of full analysis on why high ground is good, because its a complex set of benifits

THIS IS MY BROHTER HAHAHAHAHAHA!!!!! I'm so excited for this. So he's gold tank. I'm pretty sure he just didn't really switch his brain from GOTTA BE IN FRONT!

This is how i feel as mostly a support main

yeah that lil bit at 6:23 i almost never hear it

to be honest simply pre scoping around corners would make him way better. Many times he's wasting time going out of cover and scoping only half a second later

I actually hit a similar tracer ult in the EXACT same place on that map and blew up 3 then killed the tank and other support somehow killing the whole team, honestly those plays are the reason people play tracer

Sometimes just A D strafing can go a long way

How this person plays currently: "There are people in front of me now, whats the most direct way to kill them" How this person should play: "How do I best contribute to us winning the upcoming fight?.. hmm I almost have my ult, I should probably just farm some body shots and then push the fight into our advantage once it breaks out" But yea this is the epitome of Bronze, and the matchmaker realized you didn't belong in Silver and got you back down where your skill level is matched. You say you feel like you have good game sense, but in reality you have abysmal game sense. Ult tracking and that kinda stuff is only: 1, relevant if the ult tracking actually informs your gameplay changes, and 2, not relevant for your skill rank in the first place. It's like a cook saying they know all the spices in the Indian cuisine, but they can't even begin to apply that knowledge because they don't know how an induction stove works and their non-inductive pot wont heat up. Basics, my dude. Basics. You lack the utmost fundamentals of gamesense, so worrying about ult tracking has no purpose until you understand the 10 steps that come before that. 1. Angles 2. Basic win conditions 3. Rotating positions 4. Basic map advantages 5. Timing your engages 6. Using good sight lines 7. Basic foresight 8. Cooldown and ability management 9. Fundamental mechanics / aim 10. Basic target prediction Work on these in whatever order you prefer, and then spend another 100 hours honing them. THEN stuff like ult tracking may give you an advantage in fights. Right now it's most likely more of a hinderance to you than if you just didn't try to track at all.

I think Genji was waiting for someone to come through TP

That’s me lol

As someone who plays torb the turret placements hurt, throwing them in the open isn’t a bad idea but they take so long to build it’s just a waste of an ability, honestly I’ll chuck it right out of spawn on my way back to the battle just in case someone tries to get a cheeky flank, same with symetra, you get the best use out of his turret when you place it somewhere cheeky, somewhere people will need to LOOK AWAY from your team, because say the DPS and tank don’t notice it but the supports do, that means one of the supports is going to need to turn their attention away from the fight to deal with it.

Kephrii had a great way of saying it. "widow is an attack hero cause you always know where they Wana be."

1000 hours jeeez

Man's edging on Torb

15:37 bro thats literally me w ana sleep

Where to submit replays?

started playing overwatch for the first time february 2023. i have 240 hours total. i’m brand new to kbm as well and so far i got to plat 4 (hardstuck plat) as a one trick ashe and i’m diamond 4 in support.

as currently mostly a noob support player i kinda like it when someone uses the heeling call once cause sometmes i didnt notice they were behind me when focussing on the other teammates and i know i should look around more prolly, but it doesnt hurt to call some attention to yourself when youre dying

I sincerely believe people play with kill feed off and never hold down the tab/back button.

This is good study material 🤔

Honestly I find myself flicking off shots too but I line up shots with projectile then flick off for the read I also do it with hit scan and well that doesn't work with the zero travel time and all

Positioning and aim are his biggest struggles

the torb turret should somewhere it can be when they push through and a genji or tracer comes through or you can put it in the open and get destroyed in 3 shots

As a Torb main lately, this play is so triggering

I think this player should just play Ashe/Cass until they hit at least gold. In bronze making big damage number and playing closer to your team is gonna work out better than getting the odd pick from way back. In bronze, noq one heals Widow, no one peels and enemies don't respect your sightlines meaning that one of Widow's main uses, area control/denial, doesn't even matter. Widow is so strong for three reasons: Area control, kills, and psychological pressure. In bronze you only have kills because no one respects your sightlines and unless you almost insta-headshot every time, them not respecting your sightlines is not in your favour. Just play Ashe/Soldier/Cass until gold then bring out the Widow again. You can play Widow exactly how you play her in this video in Gold and enemies will absolutely fear your sightlines allowing you to get more value on Widow. If you're deadset on playing Widow then you gotta get more consistent kills or alternatively become a body-shot bandit and make big damage number. Big damage number, although a meme, actually works in bronze/silver.

nice beard emongg

I miss upgrading torbiorins turret to level 3 manually 😢

I saw the title and I lowkey thought it was me even though I've never submitted a replay lol. Like I have 2000 hours in this game and I recently fell to bronze from mid gold/ sometimes plat lol

Just needs a thousand more hours

Is it bad that when he was on widow he had better aim than me and I’m in high plat low diamond?

one time i was playing ranked on junker town and my team fully capped in 1 min, the other team had 4 min and they got destroyed lol

I’m like 95% sure that I’ve played in bronze with this person! I ran across them a few times when I was at the bottom of the barrel a few years back when my SR was just 500< 😂

Can someone explain the go Winston to counter Symmetra thing to me?

The need healing button is so criminally misused. Theres people like this who refuse to use it despite the supports clearly not noticing. And then theres people like SupNotHealer who takes one shot behind me and spams the button while i fend off the person who shot them and while im actively healing them. I just assume the people spamming the button cross-map have no team awareness, and thats why they always die while neglecting LOS

Anywhere but bronze he'd be dead as soon as the doors open. You don't peek on Junkertown if you don't have to

Seeing those Bronze games makes me less and less inclined to try comp because my aim is negative in comparison to some of the players here... At least Mystery Heroes is fun and no one is toxic there.

I feel for this bronze player I’m the same way almost

Idk why everyone in twitch chat and even some of these comments are being so cruel. Guys, he’s bronze, he’s not gonna be insane, he’s not even gonna be average, be nicer :(

There are alot of bronze tanks that are really good but don't really play comp usually

6:05 I literally didn't know this was a setting and I have almost 3k hours in this game.

Man Twitch chat got SPICY at some points as people were commenting on the guy's play and then getting into arguments with each other

90+% of the time the wall from spawn is a good play.

yes, hit the I need healing button. if my team seems healthy i start chuckin kunais, i may not notice if you get low

Pretty sure if that ram had just blocked ulted and touched he wouldve held the point for enough time in this rank

I thought I was the only person with the flicking off of a shot problem. I don't know what causes it! I'll have a shot perfectly lined up and then I'll just--flick.

I enjoyed this video

For bronze team coordination is decent

When did emongs twitch chat get toxic

tf. this guy is better than me.. im in gold dps. hes in the elo hell worse than me

Awww, Sully! LMAO! 10:52 "Saving it for OW3."

i play all day every day as junk and mercy yet i dont even have 500

this widow is better than mine and im plat dps

Why does it seem like bronze player either ult at the worst times or never ult at all?

1000 hours? game sense? what?

i started playing ow seriously this ssn (started ssn1 of ow2) hit plat in dps in my first 5 wins and got gold in my first 5 wins on supp, how in gods name can u be bronze (i have no mechanics either my aim is horrendous)

Dude in chat at 13:11 taking it way too seriously lmao he was being toxic the whole game in chatb

Haaa ham BoB dO sOmThInG

Widow players ALWAYS stand still on other champs

Sully real MVP

how does one have "over 1,000 hours" in the game and yet gets lost in junkertown?

Dude has same the same hours as me on Widow but.. And I thought I was the worst long time player

i played ow2 for 50 hours (never played ow1) and i ranked plat on support and dps bruh

As a bronze you either go to flats to get absolutely bullied and roasted, come to emongg and you get wholesome advice 🥹
