Yes Yes yes yes

you can see the muscle memory XD

He’s lucky Overwatch has infinite mag grenades

This makes a ton of sense actually. I can tell now that I’ve read this that he’s thinking of it like a frag grenade and not a plasma nade

HONESTLY

lmaoooo fr

Literally gives the same advice in every video.

@@Ravnesss Tbf, tips for new people are generally the same thing everytime. Because, like, the main thing they need is just experience and more time playing the game

“You went auto pilot mode and played like complete dog shit”😂

@@johngrigsby2930 I mean I agree and disagree, the unranked to gm 'educational' series from some ppl are no longer educational when they have done it 3+ times with no balance patches in between or changes whatsoever and when there are already 15+ of them of the same character. For example I heard that shock did a unranked to gm series on rein without using the rein shield at all. Imo that's just straight up not educational, it's impractical and doesn't serve a purpose whatsoever when he did 4 other unranked to gm on rein

More of this pls

Yeah I did that in comp 2 days ago for literally 14 seconds straight in full Los of both supports while hiding behind the bus on kings row attack spawn (as attacker) on 18 hp. I then typed can you heal me I'm literally 18hp for the last 10+ seconds. Kiriko said do more damage you have done 200 dmg, if you don't I'm not healing you. This was in the first 30 seconds of the game. I asked how do you expect me to do damage while on 18 hp with a torb turret behind a rein shield? He healed me to 100 hp and then I ran into the spawn to swap to soldier lol. Funny thing was as soon as I swapped soldier I killed 3 people (including both supports) in the first fight legit solo and ended the game with 19,6k dmg and 54 elims. Btw I always use the I need healing button when I'm unsure if they are going to heal me, if I'm getting pocketed/getting plenty of heals fast enough I won't use it unless I'm going on a aggressive play

@@Siks7Ate9 Sorry to hear that man. As a now support main i always try to heal whoever i can no matter what they do. I can say theyre shit but im not going to prevent them from getting healing because they are not good lol. Why would anyone pick support and not do their role?

@@jimmy5516 they started healing me more after I killed 3 solo on soldier in the first actual fight and then another 3 again solo in the next fight. They continued to flame ppl thought like how is the reaper not dying/walking around in the backline. I told him the reaper is there because he tp's onto me as soon as I return to my team to try and pressure me because I was legit dominating on soldier. When he tp's onto me I would run away and then shoot at him, ping him and make it so kiriko could always tp to safety. Except kiriko would then not tp, would try to fight him, use Suzu and then tp and reaper would just wraith away or deathblossom. I told him stop using suzu while fighting him, just either tp away or climb to a highground where he can't reach you and heal me and he's dead. He did that later on and reaper was never a problem anymore lol. And for some reason he said support diff after we won the game lol. Meanwhile I had been legit killing their backline for half the game or getting a pick and running away. Also I literally always heal ppl even if they are legit doing nothing the entire game, maybe they will maybe they won't but it gives me ult charge and the enemy team someone else to shoot at other then me haha. Like yes if my Cassidy is a actual bot and keeps walking without 0 cover in the middle of the street instead near corners or cover I won't use a important cooldown like bap lamp on him because he will just die right after it expires but I'll definitely try to keep him alive. Especially if they have ults I need the lamp for I won't use it for that lol.

There's a lot for Support players to do as in many matches there's someone needing healing every second, people going for your or threats that you want to neutralize before they become a problem; there's also a lot of voicelines going on sometimes but also a lot of people who are already nearly full or full who keep using "I need healing". It's important to not get tilted. Sometimes the support player IS overwhelmed with audio queues, sometimes they're focused on something and don't notice you're right beside them or sometimes they actually might not have a heal to use (i.e. Brigitte's healing packs might be on cooldown, or Moira's heal gas is spent). The worst thing you can do is *spam* the "I need healing", specially if you're nearly full. I've just had a run I was pressuring the enemy healer and sniper out of the high ground and an Ashe on low ground completely oblivious and exposed was using the audio queue. I stopped to assess their situaiton and they were fine. When I looked back, the enemy took the high ground and pressured me off mine, so I had to leave and then she died. She proceeded to keep spamming the audio queue every 20s while full or nearly full, until I said I wasn't going to listen to it anymore if she kept doing it. TL;DR, ask for healing when needed, be patient and grab heal packs if you're not getting healed. Don't spam voiceline even if you're in the right that the healers aren't doing their job because that's a surefire way of not getting healed. There are plenty of bad 'healers', but it does you no good to assume they're not doing something equally important. They're supports after all, they're doing more than just healing.

He said he was playing Halo, hes using it like frags (which sucks, but it makes sense)

It does do some damage! Just not a lot

Yeah I can tell that there is something clicking that was meant for a different ability

reminds me of when I wasted an immortality field because I wanted to throw a Moira orb...

@@BeckaGabriella (not me trying to fade after playing Moira for 10 games and shooting a sleep dart into the wall outside the spawn door)

It makes so much more sense now XD

This is actually such a great quote lol

Fq yeah Dawgs trash

Said like a true Rein main

Yeah, they explained in a comment that the grenade thing was a habit from other shooters. Probably also the reloading.

Yeah when i play cod i tend to throw grenades in a similar manner and like how he threw it on the floor next to the doorway that play would make sense in other games but not overwatch which is something they'll learn with time

ive never understand flats hate for early reloading, if you dont see any enemies around theres no downside to reloading, it only takes a second at most and tops up your ammo to use when the enemy comes into sight again, early reloading is bad mid fight, but between fights? theres legit no reason NOT to yet he still gets mad at that

He said he played more halo, in that context his grenade throws make perfect sense

That Halo grenade spam

4000 hours and i didnt realise either 😂

Only time I realized it was there was when I played custom chill maps.

Same

What makes it better, in the same time there is monkey walking the same path 😄

I go that way every match. XD

It would be so nice to get followups on some of these in my opinion! I'd love to see some of them actually take it to heart and get better, and see Flats reaction post-coaching would be sick! :-)

this is genuinely how i improved my playing!!

It's funny you say this because at the moment of me leaving this reply the dude he's spectating has a comment directly above your comment on mobile lmao

bruh this guy understanding of the nade is so slow

I'm bronze. I've never ever watched OW videos in the past, even though I've got I donno maybe 150 hours in the game. I don't know meta things, I understand each hero individually but I don't understand comps in general. Just recently I've decided to try and learn more by watching from others. Lots of cool info here. I need to watch tank tutorials

Heal the full HP tank Ignore the 10% HP Cassidy This is the way.

And thats a fast way to lose your heslth charge on moira. And then they charge it back up with dps moira time

Then proceed to log onto the OW forums to bitch about DPS that are "asking for heals constantly"

I have too much TF2 in my blood that I'll probably never stop trying to build ubercharge as any kind of healer.

@@D0Samp lol same here

Yeah, that's what I was thinking. That, or the less likely explanation is that the rod that fell down there looked like a trap so he just shot it out of habit.

A lot of these 'unexplainable moments' can also explained by human factors like simply "had to scratch my nose" or "thought I heard a knock on the door".

It was also that weird pole that fell over from the trap being destroyed, Cosmic kept shooting that

Were you checking tinder? 😳👁️

@@ReizokoRyu ....I dont think so?

I've done this before I'm pretty sure that door just does not exist.

@@bloorb0569 Is it because the multiverse is falling into itself?

underrated comment

@@alexanderlee6307 I agree

my brother is the same. He’s actually pretty good at aiming, using good cover, strafing, he just needs to work on his cooldowns, decision making and cover, and to actually stick with his team.

That’s the thing about this game. The mechanics of the movement is easy. Same for shooting. It’s 100% about cooldown and ultimate ability economy.

if he stops panicking for every little thing he may even reach high plat!

I'm sorry but if it took him that long to learn about the nade distance, what other abilities will he not learn the range on/when to use it? I get it if he was like testing the range by moving closer each time but he literally was just chucking it with no thought and never learned. He will not reach plat anytime soon unless something starts clicking in his head about abilities.

@@PabloE933 he had muscle memory of using sojourn disruptor field instead, since he was a sojourn one trick at first

It specifically says short-range homing grenade.

Hmm maybe

Magnetic grenade "throw a short range grenade that homes in on nearby enemies and deals additional damage if it sticks to them". that's the word for word description.

Hes played mainly Halo before this, its hard to unlearn the habit of other FPS grenades

Why arent you high?

@@lruddy8820 Because my pen just ran out and I'm a broke man D:

@@kevinuribe318 why so angry?

@@mclovin_ow2362 damn we rlly living the same life huh

I play in gold/plat, definitely same up there. I do my best to call for healing if I'm in a decent spot to be healed when not on support. I like going in dick deep on tank, but I won't flame for not following or being able to heal, and ask once I'm in relative safety.

He called him a dumb@ss ☠️

Most new players cba to use the training ground though. No use putting in that much time if you’re not even sure if you’re gonna like the game after 20 hours anyway.

I found it cringe as the guy he is spectating was apparently very new to the game. Him rolling his eyes to basic new guy mistakes (from a new guy) time and time again and even giving that sarcastic applaud when the guy succeeds were all needless to say douche moves. If you want to give advices to someone that's great go for it, but leave your ego outside of it.

Flats is built so thicc he can probably earth shatter irl

@Crustyprawn 157 Hog cosplay when?

@Crustyprawn 157 no this is a roast I said that out of respect u absolute bozo

No cap Flats is a very attractive male specimen

​@@kfed9834 he really is! :-)

In fairness, the visuals are fucking awful - it's just a lens flare that wobbles and goes pop, with barely any indication of how far it's gone

He's a Halo player. It seems like he's just tossing them out of habit. (especially when he throws them into empty areas and expects the enemy to walk into them)

The sticky granade is a new ability. Cassidy didn't have it in Overwatch 1. Also old players had to learn how to use it. I, since I have a functioning brain, I understood the range after throwing it once.

@@theampeel the irony

@@jackeea_ No the visuals really aren't awful unless you're half blind on one eye and cosplaying a House of Dragon character with the other.. It blows up after 10 meters, really aint that hard to grasp lmao.

That's true to an extent but if you watch GM-Top 500 players, DPS players are able to break off from their team to do solo hunts. You just need to be able to trust your team to help you if you get into trouble. But that's the thing, the awareness and mental capacity of every role on the team to keep multiple things in mind is hard to come by in lower ranks. Low diamond still plays like they're in plat. Some play selfish and especially with one tank doing stupid things in low rank, supports usually hard focus/tunnel vision to keep them up so if you're a mechanically skilled dps but your team is just stupid, it's true that your positioning wouldn't matter. But it's good to practice good tactics for when you do climb because high skilled players will know what you're trying to do and try to help.

While there's an extent to which that is true, it's really not most of the time. A lot of characters have pretty decent "escape" options so positioning correctly just means you are genuinely getting more value, even if you end up dying in the process. A lot of people take anecdotal instances where "their team wasn't with them" as an excuse to not play higher value positions. If you are the better player it will not matter if your team is with you a very large portion of the time.

You just gotta get good tbh or play sojourn and carry. Because i was mid diamond in ow1 then just played sojourn and now I’ve been gm/t500 the past 2 seasons

if you're this Cassidy, man, your aim is really good! You're really going to be great once you get the hang of it

@@yumlo8570 It isn't this Cassidy.

I struggle to tell where I'm going on a lot of maps because they're not designed very intuitively, I guess I'm spoiled by the likes of TF2 having very clear directions. If I see a doorway near main, I can't tell if it's a flank, a dead end, or leads back to my own spawn.

Watch some top 500 streamers and you will find out relatively fast. Imo best thing to watch then is a support because you can see everyone through walls more clearly (because of healthbars) and because they are not in full Los of enemies or playing further back you can see how the fights progress easier.

I definitely need this in my life!

I'm a low-plat high-gold casual Rein main. I was sent to Bronze 1 due to the early ranking issue but climbed back to gold fast, I can't tell how many of my matches didn't go wrong statistically but we just got destroyed due to wrong positioning and low teamwork. A lot of these players were new so I tried to guide them, but many Valorant players who pick DPS in particular don't listen to shit. Since you aren't like them your future will be bright, don't worry and have fun.

really? not kings row?

That's just it sometimes I'll get stuck at the first choke but I rarely ever get truly spawncamped. Also this isn't entirely accurate anymore but it still is to an extent.

love the content btw

Run through the entire enemy teams line of sight with 25 hp, wonderful advice. One stray shot thrown roughly at direction of their team and he's dead. Sitting there was definitly the better play, if he asked for healing it would've been perfect. Feeding out of frust is obviously dumb, but being held in spawn and then not healed while right next to your team is tilting and being tilted usually means bad decisions.

The Dva was also pretty consistently at around 60% health while the moira *and* the bap pumped all their healing into her. Standing out in the open trying to go shield-to-shield with reinhardt as DVA while getting blown up by Soldier and Junkrat will do that to a team. The cheeky thing would have been to dodge-roll into all that healing getting pumped into Dva and just soak up the AoE goodness.

When someone keeps making a mistake you give criticism to change that habit but thats that and now you're going to be called a dumb a if ya keep doing it lol

​@@unixerse297 It's slightly different if they didn't yet hear the advice yet lmao. I love the pause and the pained look on every grenade though.

?

Like screaming at the tv screen while the horror film group decides to split up in the haunted houses basement lmao

but you cant spectate a mach in ow2 unless someone sends a code for you. That means the player watched flats react to it so they probs learned a lot of new stuff

@@ThaVipaa This is exactly what I said. Sure, the person learned something, but Flats is acting like the person who is screaming at the actor of a movie. He can't hear you! You don't have to repeat it all the time. You notice "That person doesn't know how the bomb works". You do not need to repeat it every time. The player noticed it the first you explained.
