you
I
But everyone begins
We were just children, heaven was a dream, no way
Loading for noises, hours like they say
The keys are changing, we're so much more
And the giants of your past turn to dust
Nobody talks to me, you know it's not too late
The world feels like it's late
And you know it's not too late
The entire universe will shine for you
Out on the open road
I came and rose in score
Just look before you get down
Out of your heart
I'm in your every breath
That's how it's gonna be
You're just children caught up in the tide away
Running from monsters
I was gonna say that you're easy to search
And the giants of us
To turn to focus
Your own desires pretend
No way to talk to me
Stay away
Stay away
Don't wanna be the house you stay
No way to talk to me
I'm the child of all the freaks
You're the darkness chasing me
This is how it was before you came
This is the first thing we're gonna come back
The last song that's not in tune
That'll never end
That's how I used to have a friend
When we were just children
Heaven was a dream away
Running from monsters
I just wanna say that the key is a chain
You're searching for
And the giants of the past
Turn to dust
I'll get off and take
And know it's not too late
I'm going to be on this Monday, we're all doing well, so I'm a little bit late.
I went to get on today, my power went out at the exact, well, as I was getting up, my power went out.
So, I'm in a unique spot with that right now. We have a huge blizzard going on right now. It is a
blizzard, by the way. All right, listen, it is a blizzard outside right now. It's crazy. I'm talking
like 70 mile per hour winds. We already have a foot of snow in like six hours. So, yep, it is
something. All right, let me get my game open up here. So, we are doing spectating today. I got
got to figure out what I'm going to do, because I'm running on a generator right now. So,
and everything I've seen is that there's my game. Everything I've seen is that the whole
town's basically run out of power, is run out of power here soon. So, I have no idea
how that goes with generators. I know they can last a while, but I'm not trying to overdo
it either. So, like, you might even my lights in here, like the lights we use, like the generator
is just powerful enough to keep them going, but it's like almost candlelit at times. It like starts to dim. So
there you go. I'm getting that. I'll take a second.
So we're currently running on the generator, which hey, first time having the generator outside of
that one time, but they took my power off. Yeah, it's a lot. Well, it's like the power out, but
yeah, it is just snowing. So
out. Yeah, just having live chat on the in the video. That's funny. Did you aren't far
from me? It's yeah, it's a it's it's a blizzard out like it is. Gameroo, thank you for the
prime something you also generators are loud. I didn't realize they were like loudest trucks.
Holy crap. I was like, dude, what the heck? So, um, let me give you a second here. Let's give
Yeah, so it powers out until it's not which I don't think they're gonna fix the power anytime soon
So it will end up being a much shorter day today because I'm not trying to risk that you know
I mean of like being in a ranked game or some like that
I got some videos to record things to do, but yeah, it's uh, I could have taken the day off
But I also have some things I can get done that I don't need to be in game for
Necessarily, sorry, excuse me. So yeah
Yeah.
And Jermon, I'll thank you for the 15 months of the Prime.
So thank you.
Appreciate it.
Am I enjoying all the new Overwatch stuff?
Oh yeah, for sure.
For sure, good morning everyone.
Yeah.
Good, why is the power out?
Oh, it's a huge blizzard here.
I'm talking like, where I'm at,
we're looking at the possibility of two to three feet
of snow.
Hello, hello.
Happy Monday.
With like, second month of Proquence.
Yeah, thanks for the six months of the tier one.
Thank you, appreciate it.
Thank you.
So it is, yeah, it's crazy.
I was looking outside, I'm just like,
that's sort of stone at like 1030 and then like it already has almost got up to where it was last time from the snowstorm
so it's it's
Yeah, either way, but yeah, I'm running on a generator
So I don't I'm not trying to risk it of being on for like a 10-hour day because I just don't want to
Yeah, I want to risk it no not worth you know
I don't want to get like kicked out of a rank game or have everything turn off on me and
That's no fun. So what we will do is we will get some spectators done
Maybe practice some heroes and like quick play or something something something a little bit more chill
But yeah, that's kind of where I'm at right now
Cool anyway, that's it. I'm just gonna you know at this at least I know the generator does work
Okay, why didn't I tell you that tanking could be enjoyable once you get the hang of it?
It takes a while to get the hang of it
Have I seen the interview from Alec from the omnic post one? Oh, I have not seen any of that stuff now
No
Yeah, I don't even know when they'll get the power back on, because, let me see, I don't
know when they'll get the power back on, because I think it's supposed to stall like this all
the way for like another like 12 hours or so, if not longer, if it spins.
What am I doing with the play of the game video?
Eventually, whenever we get enough scuffed ones submitted, usually it's based off of
of submission time, so as long as we get those submitted
and all of that, we should be good.
Then we get like, it's always jarring
when the lights randomly do what they're doing.
The lights start to,
look at the storm, looks like it's here till probably,
yeah, at least not 12 hours, okay.
Anyway, so I have internet with the power lines,
well, everything's like underneath the ground.
And we also have like the internet.
So, when we were moving here, the people that did my electric stuff also connected, like,
the internet directly to my house or something, like, directly to a...
Like, it's direct connecting in comparison to, like, to the modem and then something else.
I said it would make it so that if there's ever power, like, stuff, it would be.
Been a while since I have been here.
Stay safe in the blizzard, man.
Uh, Table Snake, thank you for the 68 months of the Tier 1.
Been a while since you've been here, well, welcome back.
Always, uh, hope everything's been well.
And crush you, then give it a three months of the tier one thanks.
I wish I could.
My favorite overwatch analyst and advocate.
Always my stream.
I'm actually doing that.
Like is the lights like, is it changing colors occasionally?
Like, can you see it?
I can, I can occasionally see that's funny, but yeah, it's almost like the, it's almost
like the, the generator can barely keep those lights the way they're supposed to be.
And that's why it's like that.
I noticed that when I was in the bathroom too, I'm like, it's kind of like a, it was like candlelit, but well candlelit.
Yeah, I could, I could just see it do it in my background. You probably won't notice that one, but that's funny.
They keep saying the lights keep flickering, like ever so slightly.
How much stone did we get? I think we have a foot right now with another 12 hours to go.
So, we just had a foot and now we have another 12 hours to go.
I mean, so.
I
Assume the generator will run the whole time. It's just like I don't want to risk it of
You know even like a small like flicker that just turns everything off because that would be annoying
You know I mean so yeah, I'm not trying to do that. Actually, I'm taking my headset one here
That's why I'm gonna just kind of take it chill today
Obviously, I would love to do my normal 10-hour days, but
Yeah, I think it ain't worth risking it. So hopefully they'll have everything
fixed by tomorrow
So, we'll see. We'll see.
And here we're the last time you did a tent.
I did 10 hours on Thursday and Friday, I think.
I'm pretty sure I did.
I don't remember. I've been vibing, so.
I've been a president when I'm streaming and all. This is why...
I'm sorry, almost does an untangling.
Should be good.
Get there.
Cool.
When I got the house built,
yeah, Jerome, was it? Yeah, it was probably, yeah.
Okay, here we go.
When I had my house built, I made sure to have some things done that would...
That would make it a, you know, so I could still scream if I, you know, really needed
to lock in for a day or like, you know, we ever had like, I remember when I, how annoying
it was when I had the, the supporter streamer happen and they cut my internet line.
So I had to like figure something out last second.
I, you know, I, I like having, I like having the generator for that so that way it can solve
that issue at least.
So you said snow removal.
So because our HOA takes care of it, believe it or not.
So I don't have to clear my driveway
or do anything like that.
They'll do it.
It's just on their time.
You know, does that have an elevator?
No.
If you work there, it's going to be boring.
I will admit, it's not going to be a full 10 hour day today.
It's going to be a much shorter day today
because I'm trying to risk having the power do
what it's going to do.
but it will be a shorter day today.
How long, how short that may be, I don't know yet.
You said you almost got two feet there.
We currently have a foot of snow
with like 12 more hours to go.
Yeah, you said one each way.
So obviously it can change,
but when I got mine here, I did a lot of research on it
and like they're known to be very chill.
like all my neighbors have things that most HOAs wouldn't like let you have
if that makes sense they don't care as long as you they they're very I'm in
like a neighborhood so it's like and like things are kind of spread out a
little bit so they're not they don't really care as long as you pay it they
don't care yeah just I know I've heard all the stories of HOAs and stuff like
that but they're they're very chill I mean I kind of got a vibe of that this
this winter with my neighbors and how they like put up their Christmas lights and you
know what they had for like decorations, it was fine. They don't care. So, going to you
too. And then, yeah, part of the H-O-A thing is they'll remove any of the snow or anything
like that. So, I could get a 20 foot skeleton for my front yard on Halloween if I wanted
to. I'm not going to. I'm kind of excited for that because once we're actually into
like spring weather, I'm going to finally have like a front yard with like my actual
design for it because we held off on getting it done because there was no point because
the house was so delayed that we're just like,
we'll just do it next year.
But yeah.
They're gonna vote like, on run,
on runs fun in like, if you can do the,
the setting of kind of, I call them farming runs,
you go in, you go out, you reset, and that's it.
And like, that's kind of how I've looked at it in the past.
So, yeah.
Good coffee, it's good.
Probably build a 20-foot snow skeleton with this weather, that's a dude crap, it is.
I mean, you know, I know New York got hit pretty hard by it too, so yeah, I know New York
got hit hard by it too, so it's welcome.
We're probably having the same storm right now.
I'm just, you're a little bit of, I'm a little bit behind you on the, on the timings of it.
Yeah. I got slammed, yeah, yeah. It's the same, it's the same storm that, that, that New York got.
Can you ask me how I, how they're chosen? I would just always say that, I say I always give
when it comes to choosing, I said new drops, not yet. I think we're getting, we're closer to new
drops. I think it's going to be the week of the eighth, because that's when these drops end,
but I don't have any full details yet, I'm sorry.
I would say that the biggest thing though is like, just think storyline and what would be entertaining for YouTube.
It's a much more likely way to end up on the reviews.
It's a stick US, oh yep, I noticed that already too. That's probably why my power's out here.
I looked at the power guide and the whole area is just out right now.
They probably won't even, they won't even be able to fix it for at least 12 hours to choose you what happens in these situations is that it's not even like
Something they can't get your power back up. It's just that they have to do like a
Bunch of other stuff to even get to the point of when your power back up
So they can't really travel right now unless it's like super emergency because like I
Would be impossible to travel of that they can't plow yet
And they can't clear the snow yet. So they have to wait till all that's done
So that's for like I'm lucky to have the generator because right now it would just be no power at all
I don't just have nothing so I'm gonna got a back on at least right yeah yeah so
anyway I don't know why I just said yep like that I was gonna read a sentence
and I forgot what I was gonna say and then I just went yeah yep that was it
there's nothing else to it there was just yeah yep the partners in Southern
New Hampshire says gonna be fun yeah exactly
I was going to say, yeah, it's still, like I said, the snow is still building.
I already have a foot of snow, and it just started six hours ago, so that should give
you an idea.
Dennis, just from shoveling snow off his roof, yeah, or off his, yeah, school now, enjoy
A-Rock.
Yeah, I mean, Lonnie has the day off today, of course.
I wouldn't have done it if she has tomorrow off also.
I can't really do comp today, Greymane, because I'm not trying to risk being in a comp game
with the power issues.
But I do have a couple of spectators to record, so we'll do that, and then we'll kind of
evaluate it after.
I have a meeting today at 1.30 anyway, so that was going to be my cutoff time regardless,
so we'll see what time it is, how I feel.
And then tomorrow, as long as everything's good, we'll be back to a full day.
Sorry for the kind of almost three-day weekend here that I had.
I usually try to maximize my time off for two days.
Unfortunately, with the Blizzard, it
makes it a little bit more difficult.
But hey, I'm just going to get the stream,
because the majority of the town has no power right now.
So I'm glad that all the generator stuff worked,
which is cool.
I just online notes for something else.
You're in Buffalo.
Yeah, you always get that lake effect whenever it circles.
That's what happens here is the ocean effect.
It will circle, and that's where we'll get more.
Then the 10th month, I'm glad you get time off.
I mean, I understand that perspective,
but dude, I just like streaming.
I'll be real with y'all.
I don't do the best with days off.
I've gotten better at knowing how to take them,
I do like them, but I don't like you I mean like I like I just want to grind man
But I also know that it's smart for me
To to pace myself to say the least so
Or the rhythm of taking space well when you're trying to take space as a tank
You just always have a corner because it's really about being able to take space without
feeding.
And if you can't do without feeding, you're probably not going to be in a good spot.
So think about it as always have cover on your way to your space creation, because otherwise
you're going to fall over.
Easier said than done on some maps.
Some maps are just not designed well enough to be able to, and that's something that I
think gets underrated a little bit.
Our maps aren't as good for solo tanking because there isn't as much cover, so you
run these weird issues, but for the most part, most maps have cover.
What videos are planned today?
I'll take a look in a minute.
I'm just drinking my coffee.
Did you wish I streamed more?
I got two different we got polar opposite opinions there from from everybody chat, huh?
You do
Yeah, but we're good. Yeah, the lights doing what they're doing is just I
Freak me out every time because it's just like dims for a second, but I know it's fine
Got a domino and a mizuki bond today. That'll be awesome. Let's go
Unless you become, what, an IRL streamer, me?
Dude, I don't think I would do that.
I don't know if I'd have the most entertaining IRL streams.
I just sit here.
Like, there's something like, I don't do anything extravagant.
I just kind of, I just, I just do the same thing.
I just sit here.
Yeah, unless that's what IRL streaming is now, but I have not even, I don't watch it
too much, so.
Uh, Beef Shredder, thanks for the three months of the Prime, so thank you, Beef Shredder.
Thank you.
Is Domino work for 66 if so, what's the other thing probably anything that would work well with Sigma?
I mean actually Sigma Domino can be pretty good
Domino Zarya
That's true. That's true dark star. I'll do my best to stream more on that one. You're right. I got you
To basically take the space from the other team is on the back foot or you've got good cover to cover well
Well, even if they're not in the back foot, you need to take space, but yes, you need to spam out, you need to spam out like this.
I don't know. Your damage creates a space a lot of the time, unless you were Reinhardt, which I streamed 24 seven. Nope.
Nope, nope, nope.
Is everything that's right? And your dominance or I could work.
Although it doesn't synergize well because you're a giant shield, but it could work.
with Ryan is because the Ryan can drop the shield the time the the bubble damage and or it will just do the bubble damage because the
bubble goes in front of the shield
Dominus a little bit different, but it can work as long as you're not just like, you know being unlucky with your time
And I think it could absolutely could work
Yeah, without a doubt
Speaking of that we have a couple spectators today, so I finished rerecording some stuff yesterday for the tier list
I will admit chat
after further
After further research, I put Mizuki in the A tier instead of S tier. I just felt like after playing Mizuki a little bit more
I think I think he's still underrated, but I do think he's not S tier yet
So I moved that last yesterday for the final part. I think the it's gonna come on pretty good the tier list
I'm pretty pretty happy with what I saw from the screenshots of it
So it looks like it's gonna be a pretty good video
So I just I went and edited that and then read to the Torb one. So it should be out soon
What I was asking for takes a little bit longer and with me doing it the way that I did it might take even longer
So we'll see
Before the Domino review, yeah, we have that today like I said, I'm gonna go as long as I can before like I'm just gonna
I don't know we'll figure it out
What's here is matter right now. There's a lot of different men of stuff. I think we
Holy crap. This is a 35 minute game. What the heck dude?
Where did we find this masterpiece?
We have a 35 minute dominant game. What happened?
35 minutes on Circuit Royale, dude. Okay. Well, we got ourselves a doozy. We got ourselves
a doozy. This will be a good one. Cool. Aren't you going to move on with the chat? I can.
But for you guys, thanks for the 50 bits. Appreciate it. Thank you. I also got a mid chat. These
streams have been unreal, man. Like, see, we've had so many more people in here recently.
been crazy. Like even like the, it's like the floor of what used to be is just like risen. It's cool.
It's also just surreal. And again, apologies that today will be shorter chat. Hopefully,
the power is officially back today at some point. So that way, I don't have to worry about that
with a generator. Although, I will say when I went live, when the gen, it does turn the power off
for a second. So then if the power came back, that's also a concern because the power comes back,
Then I think it turns it off for a second and then read does it. I don't know either way. We'll figure it out
Hi, how's it going?
We'll figure it out
I did become a good Ryan shield management best lines are good at two things that I've noticed
Really good shield management to the point where it feels like I always have a shield and they just charge
But they charge correctly. They don't just charge the charge. They just like charge and they get three kills somehow. It did
Yep
Now one of the vods we also have a mizuki Vod so
Yeah, I kind of want to go shovel today. I'm weird. I like shoveling and I don't even know I'm gonna shovel
I'm just gonna do it. I'm just gonna shovel something. Maybe I'll shovel my walkway
Well, there's a blizzard
You know, I'm just weird
Good workout
Actually a pretty intense workout if I'm correct
It's one if I'm anyone a surgery. Oh, yeah, this one's 35 minutes. I can't even begin to imagine what this is gonna be like
You wish Overwatch gave hero like hero loot boxes?
I mean maybe they could in the future but I don't know maybe they're I don't know that
would be kind of cool actually yeah I got nothing really to do not shovel the wet heavy
snow oh it's the wet heavy snow don't you worry.
Did I play Echo?
No that's not Echo but Echo is good and I've had success on Echo with very minimal play
time so yeah I think Echo is good.
hurt my shelves. Don't hurt
myself shoveling. Well, chat.
I think after seeing the poker
player, I think I can't predict
that. Okay. I watched a there was a video of a
poker tournament and a guy tour is ACL. So, you
know, I it is what it is at that point, right? You heard that right? Tour is
So, yeah.
So what happened was is he,
what happened was is they had this really huge hand
that came down to like,
it was going to come down to like the river or the river, right?
Yeah.
And basically it just came down to one card,
well, two cards, technically,
which would mean you have what, eight outs.
I think it's eight outs at that point.
So we'd have, yes, eight outs.
And basically, it was very low percentage.
So when the card came over, he celebrated and then tore his ACL.
Because they were both standing up.
Because usually, when you both all in, you both stand up.
And then he got the card.
And then he jumped and celebrated and tore his ACL.
So there you go.
So I'm just saying, I can't predict what will happen if I shovel.
It just is one of those at that point.
Yeah.
You moved into your new house a month ago
had a snowblower ready to before to move in. Yeah, I mean, I don't have to clear any of it. Like I said,
they'll come and do it, but let me just find them. I don't know. And I don't have a problem clearing out
like my walkway to make it easier. How am I doing? I'm doing well. How about you?
Do you believe we're getting like closer to mid season? Like we're not there yet, but like we're
like two weeks away from mid season and then we get like a whole new set of drops and a whole new set of
then we have O2BCS starting up dude. It's gonna be a crazy month in March, I think.
I think March is going to be crazy. I'm going to be streaming a lot again, I think.
No, Lonnie's not. They called Lonnie off of school on Saturday.
I don't think there's any way she has school tomorrow.
Because it's not even like, they can't clear the snow till tonight.
And even then, there's not going to be any power back for a lot of people.
So I think it's going to be a couple days for her to go back in.
How come I wasn't online over the weekend? I took the days off. That was it.
I decided just to take the days off.
off. I wanted to stream on Saturday, but I was like, dude,
you got to, I was like, I got to chill. And so I did. That was
it. I was going to stream on Saturday, but I kind of like
taught myself into being okay with the day off and knowing
the importance of quality over quantity. And sometimes the two
day weekends happen to make sure I produce the quality rather
than the quantity. Because I get to stream every day to be real
with you, but I think at a certain point I'll just, quality over quantity. I still
do stream a lot, but I do think that sometimes it's good to take a day or
two. As much as I would love to do seven days a week. Do they give a timer for
Prowdy back? No, it's a widespread they just say. They'll tell you later.
Lani doesn't teach. She's a speech language pathologist, so she works with a
lot of students on the spectrum. Pretty much anything you could think of
with that type of stuff. Also, it helps why, you know, she understands me very well, because
obviously I'm on the spectrum, so, yeah. Makes it easier for sure. I got the trifecta
of what, Tourette's OCD and being on the spectrum, so. But yeah, she works with a lot of students
than that. You got overwatched suspended. This is your fix. That's not good. How much
so we get it still going? We already have a foot, but probably another foot to go
foot another two feet to go. Yeah, we're predicted to get anywhere from like one
to three feet here, depending on where it stalls. So we don't know where it's
gonna stall though. That's the thing is if it had if it does the ocean effect
we'll get like probably three feet. Yeah, it's ridiculous to my snow. Like I looked
outside and it's already, it's crazy.
So what tanks are good against Domina?
Anything that's good against Sigma, you know,
Reinhardt or Matra, anything quick.
Domina, in my opinion, the way I've been kind of
giving the feedback, we're gonna look at a Domina bot
here very, very shortly.
Kind of a bit of feedback I've given with Domina
a lot of the time is to people, is that like,
you're just kind of better at the counters.
You're kind of better at the counters than Sigma is like against like the Reinhardt and the Rematra, but you still struggle against that.
So you're just like, whatever Sigma sucks against, Domina does too, but there's a little bit better job of dealing with it, right?
Like your counter play on that one's on is so...
What do you find the best place to get perks and meta heroes to rank?
I'm not entirely sure who's covering a lot of like the the perks of the meta stuff, but I
Do hear y'all on I?
Think this would be a very smart time to me to get a couple guides out this month or next month
So I'm not gonna promise it, but I'm gonna do my best
All right
I'm gonna do my best
So
Well, that's what I'm saying, like there's some counter play to Ryan as dominant, which
is kind of what I'm getting at is like, you can make good plays against those heroes,
it's just going to be not as easy.
And I think that's kind of the thing to look at.
So yeah, he said, well, I don't know, they're getting the crafts right time to move.
You don't even understand like, because people won't see it, but there's been so many of
those like discord like scams now and in Twitch chat.
like we had it like it's like restricted so I can only see it dude I think we
banned like three an hour right now I'm not even joking like this they're just
the discord box spam they just come in they go hey I really like your stream
did you just start streaming add me on discord and I will help or
something and it's like that same one every single time oh this one out of
the website. They made their own website now. So how about that?
That's either making cleansing grits, cleansing grip in
flashshale base kit for Weaver and Mercy. I think that's
totally fine. Yeah. I think I actually mentioned they should
make flashshale a part of the base kit a while ago because it
felt like it just feels like it should be something like that
and they should just get a better perk option. So and those
will be good changes. I mean, I mean, you said AI versus AI
spam block and dude the worst part is they're gonna start learning off each
other more and more so it's gonna be even more just stuff that makes no sense
you know is Ryan madden no I wouldn't say Ryan's mad about Ryan's good against
Domino in the meantime let me get the other code opened up here so that way I
can kind of get things going here he said super bloom should be yeah I mean
that one makes your character I know why they're not gonna do that one so I get
Okay, we're gonna go here. We're gonna be watching the dominoes. They're just gonna be crazy
There's some of the names you see are just great doctor pepper HD 24 like that's just
Man, that's a name. Okay. This game is gonna be a long one for a spectator. Holy crap. I'm
unlocked in for a bit. There we go. Optio, thank you for the tier one. Appreciate it. Thank you.
Thank you. Man, we're going to have a, we're going to have a doozy on this one. This one's going to
be a good one. 35 minutes. Yes, we have a 35 minute game. So, but it's dominant, so at least we get
to see kind of like a different perspective. So that's kind of nice, right? That's kind of nice.
I didn't even realize that name kind of sucks.
Rencake, thanks for the 16 months of the tier 1.
Thank you.
Thanks.
I didn't even notice that one.
I just saw Dr. Pepper HD.
And then I saw that the other people in the team are duoed.
Well, rank is this?
This is going to be a Diamond game, Diamond 4 on PS5.
So it should be an interesting one.
What we're doing, we're going to be doing a spectator here very shortly.
I was on the coffee kick in. I feel like it's kicked in enough.
I'm going to go upstairs and see if the generator is still on
or if it's back to regular power.
I think it's still generator, but I'm just going to look.
Um, ladies to build,
there's going to be one month of the tier one.
Thank you. I can tell if it's in a second.
Like my house buttons don't work. I have to like control my house
or my phone, because when the power is out, I guess it needs the power on.
So this would be a good one.
Then we have a Mizzouki one after this.
And then again, I don't really know what the overall plan
for the day is, Chad, because like I said,
I'm trying to figure it out.
You know, we're trying to figure out as we go.
So we will figure it out.
So we get there.
I'm gonna fix a couple things. Okay, cool.
Can I test the Dominar armor bug? What's the armor bug? Like Domina doesn't have armor, so like what's the bug?
Is Domina really as strong as people say? I think Domina is strong.
I don't know what people are saying for the strength of Domina. Like is Domina a
should be banned every game type of hero? Absolutely not.
At least in my opinion, so yep.
Give me a second to hear a chat, we'll get at this, okay, we're good.
Same bug where a mantra didn't take damage.
I mean, I definitely take damage, it's dominant, but I could look at doing it a little bit.
So yep.
Yeah. Okay. We're good. Alright.
I'm going to be back a second and then we're going to record this video. We're going to
lock in. This is my first dominant spectator ever outside of the one that we watched of
pro players, but this is like not a pro player review. So this should be fun.
This should be fun. So I'll be back a second. Let's lock in. We got to,
we got a review to do. Some people,
this might be people's first ever spectating with me because the channel
has grown a lot in the past week.
So this will be people's first time of seeing this recorded. So yeah,
it's going to be crazy. It's going to be crazy. So we'll, uh,
we'll get going with that here in a moment.
I'll be right back and time to record a spectator and so it should be a good one be big
you
you
you
you
you
So, crap, I just came up with a ridiculous idea.
I record, if I pop to it, should I record the diva guide and then have it edited out later?
I can do like a more like, ridiculous thing.
Because the diva guides is going to be the answer in questions and then we put b-roll
footage anyway.
So we'll see how I feel, but I might, I have all the questions and I was going to do it
yesterday and I'm like, maybe I can, we'll see.
Okay, working, thanks for the 11 months of the prime stuff, thank you, appreciate it,
thank you, thank you.
So I'm just thinking of things to do that doesn't require me being in game because if I'm in game
I don't want to like DC out do the power dude
It's yeah, I look at the day of the outage map to hold the whole town's just it's just no power
We'll see how I feel though
No, let me take record balls fun. All right, yeah, we ready it's time. All right, we got ourselves a
Got ourselves our first spectator in a while. Let's have fun with it. Let's do it
Let's let's just go and do our thing and have a great day today. Okay, sound good again shorter day today. Just because so
Yeah, I'm just thinking crap because like there's more Q&A than it is like
So I have an idea
Well, we'll we'll go from there later. Okay. Anyway, here we go chat. You ready?
All right, so today's video we are watching a diamond for tank on ps5
playing Domina. What makes this one a very interested matchup is this is a 35
minute circuit royale on Domina. How? 35 minutes of circuit royale? I'm ready. And
they say, hey, this is probably the longest match I've played in recent years.
The enemy D.va was a menace who pretty much obliterated my team. I considered
switching to Zarya, but she's a hero I'm not too comfortable playing, so I stuck
with Domina the whole game. Just to make it kind of clear here, I do think Domina
is okay against D.Va. If D.Va is running into you, which if you're playing D.Va you probably
shouldn't be, but in addition to the D.Va, the enemy team also had a cat who made incredible
plays and felt like I was pretty useless against their comp. As someone who mostly only plays
Sigma as a tank, I struggle a lot against Doomfist D.Va. When my team tells me to switch
and I do, I end up struggling even more because I'm terrible with other tanks. I would like
to know what I could have done better in this match, specifically during overtime, since
it felt like I was just farming endless deaths and shooting at nothing.
Since Dominant is new, I'm sure there's a lot I can improve on and I'd be grateful if
you pointed it out.
So enjoy.
Half an hour of me hating D.Va and Jetpack Cat.
Wait a second, I played D.Va and I had like cats.
Wait a second.
Let's see what happens, Shad.
This seems like it's going to be a good one.
Okay.
Hold on here's fine.
By the way, like a little bit of a node here, you can throw your shield out a little bit sooner
because I want you to see something like if you're going to put your shield in front of their spawn like that
Why wait until the last possible second when your shield is going to be on it?
I guess like there's a timing on it, so I get it, but like I think like it's okay to get you know in hindsight
I'm trying to think now because if you have a cool down on your shield
You're trying to maximize the uptime of your shield here, but I thought the way I envision it is
Put it up a couple seconds prior for this first team fight
You're gonna lose a little bit of uptime on it, but I think, like, by the time they get to the corner, that's when you want your next shield.
And I'm just trying to do the math in my head if they'll be there in time.
I would say, yeah, I would say, I would say do it a couple seconds prior.
So I'm gonna be up as long, but I do think you'll have it in time when you need it right now.
See, that two seconds difference. Yep, there it is.
That's what I thought. I was like, is there about a two second difference in it?
So that's a small note, and it's very niche.
So don't worry about it if you don't do that.
Backing up to the correct play.
Like, on Circareal, by the way, a lot of people are afraid to back up too early.
And I want to talk about that very quickly on this one.
A lot of people want to, like, are afraid to back up too early here.
It's totally okay.
Believe it or not, and we haven't seen a lot of Circareal in pro play recently,
because I don't think it was a part of the map pool during the boot camp they had.
But, like, a lot of teams just give this up after a while,
because it's so much easier to just kind of hold this and, like, use cover all around you,
than it is to kind of sit here and everybody gets split.
You know one person up here some person on the bridge here, and they get caught out right here
So like you actually did an okay job of recognizing you were down one and it's just better to back up a little bit
So don't be afraid to do that if you need to I'm not saying give up space all the time
But if you lose a team fight just get out of there and reset sky
Well, thanks for the seven months with the prime stuff. Thank you. Appreciate. Thank you. I
Do think that's just something to kind of look at in those situations. She'll fine
Everything's fine so far I mean
Hey, doing everything you would probably want to here, playing corners, backing up a little bit, give it a second, there's your shield, see like right there, you mentioned their D.Va, the moment their D.Va hits their flight, I'm actually, I kind of want you to go for the skill shot, so what that means is, is it's not even necessarily a skill shot, but you're using the A.O.E. pushback in front of you, once you hit the D.Va there, the D.Va's going to hit the wall as a stun and will lose the ability to fly at your team.
I'm already seeing that if you're gonna miss out on that opportunity to shoot at a diva with that
I would actually try to use that and risk reward it because if you hit that diva here
They hit this wall the diva stuck right here now. You probably have a remake on the diva
Or at least the opportunity to be I meant meant to DMACC the diva and whatever's happening back here won't happen now
Instead the diva is gonna eventually kill the widow
I assume they just got to turn around here and you're gonna lose your back line because of that
You talk about how you struggle against even one thing that I would personally try to do is disrupt the diva as much as you
It doesn't mean chase the diva around. It just means disrupt the diva when they're in those type of situations
And I would be I would be something I would just really look out for I feel like you really gave that up
Like right here why not play the corner like you want to sit there and stay in the team fight
You're gonna lose it right, but I want to get you in the habit of defaulting to spots that aren't directly in the middle
I know it's a 1v5 right like I well, I don't know what's going on back here, but you do your thing
but
Play the corner. I want to get in the habit of using cover like this is a cover where you can actually give yourself
Maybe one extra teamfight here. Maybe your teammates getting back at time. I've seen some crazy stuff now granted
I don't think you're gonna win that maybe you pick up a kill and then things change right here
You have a cat you get back to point quickly maybe the baby you killed two when you get your ultimate
There's some crazy plays you can make there and you're gonna respawn anyway like back here. It's not about getting a good spawn
So either way, I just want you to make sure that you're putting yourself in a good spot consistently
Basically don't stand in the middle
Okay, here we go. Yep. We're shelled up
Now you could turn and shoot at even now. It's not
My favorite, but you could have done that either way you do make the TV. I have no shield. You got that
Man you really wow that was
There you go like right there
See how you move them away like that try to do that a little bit more towards walls
But that is the correct play you have an out now
Now it can be eaten by D.Va, just so you know.
So be careful of throwing it into the D.Va.
Okay, you tried it that time, so I'm glad to see your reaction is doing that now.
Stop. Nope.
At that point, the D.Va is in your backline.
Put a shield up, please. Put a shield up, please.
You need to put that shield up a little bit sooner,
because you're taking a little bit of extra chip damage that you don't want to take.
The way that the Dominus synergizes, so people understand this,
is the E is a pretty quick cooldown that you could throw at them to give you some extra HP.
So why put the pressure on your supports in that situation by risking it with that shield?
So, yes, the primary fire does go through DM.
Oh, no, no, you're talking about, like, when you hold left-click, it goes through DM.
When you shoot the shot, the DM can eat it.
But I would still shoot at the DM in certain situations.
The biggest thing is recognizing when you can't turn around and you need to hold the front.
Thankfully, your teammate's doing well, so...
You can put the shield right here for your widow, if you'd like.
Just for a second. I'm assuming you can't reach that range.
Little bit of a tip, if you want to know if you're in range of the Mizuki, just ping them
a Zuki, and it will show how many meters away they are, and then you know what the range
you can be to outrange them.
It's one of the rare heroes where you can do that consistently because the hero has a
weird mid-range.
Wow.
What a play by the cat.
The high noon, the meow noon.
What is it being called nowadays?
What is the new saying for it?
I don't even know.
Either way, they play.
So so far you're doing okay on Domina.
I do feel like you're not recognizing the strength of your shield.
And I want you to, again, there's a reaction here.
And I'm going to be talking about this in a diva guide soon about what
diva is supposed to do.
And like, what's going to happen a lot of the time is the diva is going
to fly right by you, right?
It's going to be just like legitimately fly right by you.
And you're not going to be able to do anything.
So at a certain point, you just need to turn around and do the same
thing to their backline, but not fly into them because you can't.
Um, and I want to see you I want to continuously see what your reaction is to that diva because if the divas playing it correctly
Again, and I'm gonna talk about this in a future guide with diva diva is not a hero that you play like
Sigma or Zarya or Ryan
Etc you have to be more backline pressure than you ever have been before with that character
Like for example, don't be afraid to alter
I know that seems like a tough all but you can probably get both of them in the air right there and that would prevent some good
Some good play by your teammates like or good play by their team, excuse me
Like that would basically prevent like some of the shots right there because what you don't really what people don't realize with that ultimate
Is that it will okay?
That ultimate will also block their ability to do damage until that shield box. There you go
Good job not gonna leave it back, but again, doesn't it kind of feel like you
Waiting forever to use this ultimate to end up in the same flight you want to shield out now
Doesn't matter where they're at now now group the diva towards your team. There you go
Back away though. Back away now. Back away. Back left corner. Back left corner.
Okay, so this is the problem. When you're playing tank, right?
You did everything right that you could have up until that moment.
I thought you did an excellent job here, right?
So, I feel like you like seriously did a great job here with backing up.
And then once you got here, rather than back up just an extra few feet to reset your cooldowns,
you just stand here. And this is like the make or break between you winning a team fight and losing a team fight.
And I feel like this is these are the plays that are going to really people always ask like, okay
How do I how do I back up? How do I how do I go to cover? What what is the idea behind it?
You got here. This was perfect. I'm like, dude, you're good. You're fine now
You're gonna back up all the way and then you just go here and then you're fine
And then what you do is what is your cool down? You're a six seconds on your shields
You sit here if they over push you get a kill and then three seconds later
You're just gonna throw a shield out and then you're right here
Everybody's safe and you're fine instead now your team is down their tank and they're gonna have to make a playoff of that
So yeah, I
Can't tell what you're typing there
Wild Luigi cool name though. I would see people play a wild legion on that one cool
Anyway, excuse anyone
Back to the we'll see what happens down because your team hold this as a diva get into your back line
What happens if he gets in your back right now?
Imagine if you go back and survive with your team now you de-mech that diva who just recently used ultimate and you basically
Win the whole team fight instead you give up second point for free and here we are going in the third
So little moves like that and plays like that can make or break team fights. All right
Just want to just want to point that part out
Ideally you're gonna want to get up further to the corner
But don't force these play here because if you force the play you're gonna end up falling over right and that's almost half
You notice how you almost fell over
It's all about okay, so let me kind of explain this very quickly because I think everybody wants to rush to their spots to take map control
I'm gonna kind of show you a way that here's the thing you're not gonna be able to get to them here, right?
like
You're not able to get to them here
So why go up here and just basically take a bunch of damage?
So what usually happens in this situation is you actually give them this half of the map
Temporarily keep in mind the idea is that you're giving them this part of the map to eventually take it back
But you can't forcibly go take the map back because you don't have the mobility on Domina, right?
And it's not like with Sigma because you say you play a lot of Sigma where you can kind of move forward with your shield
You're kind of like a statue for a little bit on Domina here
So what you would do is you have your teammates control this part of the map right here, right?
You're gonna deny this space if your teammates don't see anybody here eventually you can have somebody wrap around here
This is recommended for DPS players if you find that no one's up here. Don't just stand here the whole time
I find that if you can I get somebody over here you get a lot of free kills hence this and this is kind of where things turn
Around I've lost a lot of teamfights where we don't control this part of the map as a team and we lose because of this part of
The map so while they're just getting set up here and you can't get to them right look at your ultimates
You don't really have much for you specifically. You're gonna have to wait on like a meow noon to make a play here, right?
So just control this part of the map once they get to here
they're going to be stuck. So then once the cart gets to here, they are now stuck.
They have to make a decision. So I'm just saying, don't go up there and just feed
and give up a bunch of cooldowns just to try to retake that early,
because that's how you just get snowballed and lose this point.
I know it's a little bit more advanced than we usually go on some of these maps,
but I time and time again, including myself, I've made this mistake
of just trying to get that map control early when it's OK to just kind of sit back
and wait, control half the map and then retake your space.
So, now your team's on their back foot, you're getting snowballed, and we'll see what happens next.
Tasket's a good pick though.
They calling it Meow New now, whatever people want to call it, go for it.
Okay, you saw it, you can go right side if you want to shield up now.
I think something you're doing, and I want to point out to you, something that you're doing is you're trying to manage your shield cooldown as much as you possibly can.
And I get it, right?
But at a certain point, you need to recognize
that you don't have the map space or control
to just leave your teammates susceptible, right?
Because your teammates are kind of relying on that shield.
So waiting as long as possible puts a lot of pressure on them.
Also, I like what I'm seeing from this Reaper.
Let's see if it works.
But you just got to remember that when you're playing is
your teammates also require that shield.
So, you know, yeah, yeah, good luck.
That's called, you got lost, no your escapes.
I mean, that's on you again, straight up.
Chet, has anybody tested this with Domino?
Okay, I have a question.
Has anybody tested this with Domino?
If Adiva ults and I ult one of their teammates
right near me, could I hide behind the ultimate
to survive?
You get what I'm saying?
So like, if I use Domino ultimate
and then it puts a shield around them,
can I hide behind the Domino shield on the ultimate
it to be able to survive a diva out.
Apparently, the alt can target diva bomb, can it?
So then you would just survive that, right?
Can you just alt the diva bomb then?
Because if you can alt the diva alt, then just alt the diva
alt, and you survive that.
And then you don't get snowballed.
So if you can alt the diva alt, then just throw the alt
at it, and then you're good.
Then you survive that, and then you're fine.
There you go.
If that's an interaction, which I can just test it after,
you have to target diva bomb, a four bomb.
Oh, OK.
But still then, like, what if it makes sense to try?
Oh, well, there is a little bit of risk there,
because the diva could eat it in theory,
so there's a little bit of timing.
OK, it's a play you could make, but you
have to make sure you understand that it could be eaten.
That, yeah, I would say send the alt there,
because I'm looking at the clock,
looking where the card is.
There's no reason to hold it.
And I'm pretty curious if there was somebody else in their team,
and you can ult them and stand behind them too.
So there's definitely ways to survive that,
that I wouldn't even think of them in real time right now,
but I wanna get like, in the mindset
of everybody learning to dominate,
cause I think that'd be a really cool tech
to get used to.
At least the mind pick.
You gotta ult this sooner than later, yeah.
I mean, I would have ulted that even sooner.
I feel like you gave too much time.
Right now it feels like you're too safe
with your cooldowns.
Like I actually think that you're extremely
too safe with your cooldowns right now.
You need to start using those a little bit more
I get what you're trying to do because like a no cooldown management is key
I feel like you're overmanaging your cool down right now
And that's kind of causing you to lose team fights that you shouldn't lose or
Team fights it should be at least a little bit more difficult for the other team
And that's kind of the vibe I'm getting from all of this is that you could do a better job of that
Well rank is this a diamond so anyway, that's the first six minutes of this 35 minute game
So don't worry. Yeah, we got a lot to work on with them. I say your tacos
Say your tack
I'm okay with an early shield out of you ready set now check if you want to give
yourself an easy time in for the shield by the way look down at the bottom once
you start seeing the shield that are like 7 seconds on the cooldown time or maybe 8 seconds
start to look for cover.
Because if I recall correctly the shield that one worked on this does not.
I think the shield lasts like 8 seconds or something.
So look around the 7 second mark and you'll start to see it taper off at that point.
So like if you use the cooldown here, right, there you go.
Now watch the bottom timer.
I think around 7 seconds I would start backing up from your shield if you need to, for cover.
There's the 7 second mark and then now it should go away.
See, really easy to do that.
If you want to play it safe, do eight seconds,
so you can start to establish position in.
You can see the timer above the crosser, that is true.
But I sometimes use an elsewhere, so we call it.
Crosser doesn't exist there too.
See, I guess I just absorb my information elsewhere sometimes.
Yeah, the little side, see that bug?
Yeah, yeah, yeah, yeah, I get that now.
A flip of advice here, look at that little bar above.
Even better advice, I never even look at that.
That shows you how like, how long I played Overwatch 4,
where I just like always consume my information
from the cooldowns before they started to make
some of those like changes.
Good to know, I will remind myself of that.
See, this is a good learning point for me.
It's been there the whole time
and I haven't even acknowledged that part of the shield.
So, there you go.
Advanced level up there.
Okay, here we go.
You're doing everything fine here.
I would say try to get an E up there
the moment the D.Va goes down, there you go, that's fine.
Even even that works, I just want you to kind of isolate.
Okay, I want you to shield.
You can, yeah, there you go.
You can also kind of, you can use your AOE move there
on the cat if you wanted to.
Okay.
There it is, getting the kills.
Just going to the car, they're gonna leave it.
Okay, I mean, pretty clean first point.
You didn't really have to do much, which is nice.
When you get the, when you get that,
Oh, what is the 0 out of 25 thing? There's a new sub-roll passive. I forgot what heroes have it.
Where basically you get 25% extra outcharge after you get your Ultimax.
It's basically just over-charge.
So when you finish your ultimate, you'll get whatever that percentage is.
Say it's at 8 out of 25, you'll get 8% outcharge.
Just a way, and to kind of give you an idea, I think the reason why they add that one is because there's a few support-
uh, supports that can't really play the game with their ultimates, right?
Like how some ultimates are proactive and some ultimates are defensive.
So, I think they wanted to give you a way of the heroes that are known to have to hold their ults longer
Just kind of giving you a little bit more opportunity to build some all-charge and feel like you're doing something, right?
Yeah, you said like Zen, Lucio, Ana, Bap, etc. All those heroes require like kind of like teamwork timing
So it's just kind of I think a way to like incentivize those team fights where you're stuck just doing that
Because like you have to hold your ult for so long
I will say there is playing D.Va the way you're supposed to in these situations by the way chat.
It's something that I think a lot of people returning to the game have not...
It's going to take a little bit to understand what D.Va is like now.
Like D.Va is no longer the field tank. D.Va can peel, but D.Va is just a backline assassin now.
And that's why in this situation, if you wanted to talk about what to do there,
you can't turn around once D.Va is doing that. You need to go and make those same trades for it.
So, if the D.Va's leaving them susceptible that way, which the D.Va is supposed to do,
this is your opportunity to go take Master's role.
I felt like you were getting distracted by that D.Va too much.
Um, and that was a problem.
Again, I think you're being safe against the girls, too.
No, but thanks for the gift of something.
Thank you for like...
Like, you save your ultimate for so long, and then you do that ultimate.
Like, you're basically saying to the other team,
Hey, what can I do to help make this easier for you?
Let's do that.
Like, I think you would have launched that ultimate a little bit sooner.
You get killed anyway, and you're fine, but you waited for their whole team to get back to help
But you did a good job surviving your teammates did a good job surviving the the back line pressure and
I think the number one thing out of you right now is you're so hesitant on hitting your bodies
You're so heavy so
Yeah
Okay
Now you're waiting you have two options here like you could go take the high ground top right remember how I talked about controlling the math I
Would be okay if you did but I also understand if you don't
And as you can see remember earlier I mentioned some of the pathways you want to take as a team look what's happened
Your teammates they did exactly what we were talking about. I also love this jetpack cat. Look at him
Just kind of vibing look at her. It's just chilling. But anyway, like if you look here, right?
What is this by the way?
You know, that's okay
You're they're taking away the high ground control that we mentioned earlier and you're stuck down here
So it's a very interesting approach on how this is going
But basically they did exactly what I would say an earlier of control on that side of the map
And I think it's actually work for them. Remember you can throw the charge of them
It's gonna disconnect though. You wonder why that you have to maneuver the the jetpack has stuff around perfectly
You can't just like run into a wall
What's I said, I never really seen blood splatter like that in an overwatch. I think it might be something tied to M. Ray like
Mostly them with M. Ray's Lord
That's someone like Razor you're at, same, I mean I'm currently running on a generator
right now, I didn't have, I technically only didn't have power, just a generator's carrying.
Good stick, uh, good Mizuki play, you can get up here, I want you to be aggressive with
this ultimate, because if you're not aggressive here you're gonna eventually give them a chance.
Like just make their team think about like, okay, like, okay get out of the, get out of
the, get out of the, get out of the, get out of the, get out of the, remember like,
You're gonna win this teamfight, I think, but already you're just so hesitant.
I want to, next time you play, I want you to like, almost go the limit of your cooldown
usage, because I feel like you're just too safe sometimes.
I've seen so many alt opportunities, we just have to send it, so, let's go.
Oh, Overwatch is always happy. You really see how fast base it is. That makes sense.
Okay, here we go.
Alright, only 20 minutes left of this Vod chat, so we're really making progress, okay?
Really making some progress right now, I'd say.
You see the... Here we go again.
And then, in D.V.E. Domino's ult, yes.
But you still need to be more aggressive with it.
It doesn't, even if D.V.E. can eat it,
you can't play the whole game scared of that, right?
Like, if I'm playing D.V.E. and someone's afraid
to use their Domino ult or their Dari ult
because I'm just there, then I've already won.
And I've taken away so much of their value.
Zuki with a good play.
Like, right there, I'm sending that AOE push back.
Keep in mind, it has a short range of things like eight meters,
so understand what eight meters is.
I think I wasted it a few times when I first played Domino.
Okay.
Yep.
JT, thanks for the 15 months of the tier one.
Thank you, appreciate it.
Thank you, JT.
There you are.
Okay, good job.
Use the A way.
Again, here's the thing that, here's what's happening,
and I'm noticing it.
You understand you have to use it,
but you're so, you take your time, right?
And just send it, like just hit that button again next time.
That D.Va would have been D.Va's even prior.
I think like there's a world where you could shut down
this D.Va way more than you are and you're just not.
The D.Va's not making it pretty hidden on what their play is,
so.
Take a TP, take a TP, take a TP, take a TP, take a TP,
take a TP, take a TP.
I want you to take that TP and put a shield.
Okay, so one way to, oh sorry.
One way to get early map control,
at least in my opinion is just to take that TP up there and just, and just start getting any LMS you can.
You have the map control is created for you. Take that map control.
You don't need three on cart to be able to take this, but one thing you can do is shut down their rotation on the next part.
So I'm gonna take that TP next time. I have a shield and then you're gonna get a free kill on a widow.
You're gonna maybe get a jetpack cat. The point I'm making is they're not gonna put any pressure on your team because they're gonna
be worried about you here, but not taking that TP now gives them, gives them an opening, right?
Maybe they won't take it, but they have a chance now and and that that part could have been prevented
Even the chance of you just going up there and doing that plan
thankfully they end up going in and feeding anyway, but I
Would have liked to see that play happen if spaces get like, you know created with a TP you take that space
so
There's a TP again you could take that up there right now you take that up there right now, okay nevermind
Okay, there's your shield, first shield in a while.
I think you had one more shield rotation during that.
Okay, now you have your ultimate.
So what you're gonna do is you're gonna use this ultimate
in a proactive way, which means be aggressively.
Ready?
Get up there and don't give them a chance.
Let's dominate this, let's go.
Let's hit that domino.
Yeah, right now, this is it, it's your moment.
They've used, there it is, no, no, no, no, no.
Go forward with it, use your ult, it's right there.
Oh man.
So here's the thing, you use your ult,
but do you see how you're so delayed in the timing?
But you would've had four on that.
If you use that right when I was calling it.
Again, I think your hesitation's really
hecking up your play right now.
I think you're just so hesitant on your ability usage,
like right there.
That diva should never die to the,
and the widow should never die to the diva.
Why?
Because you could have prevented the diva
from doing that by just slamming them back.
And that towards the wall against the torb.
I know you're gonna somehow win this,
which is the crazy part.
You ready?
Slam them against the wall.
Okay.
Yeah, your button mash it. You got to slow everything down in these situations. Okay?
The easiest way to win an overtime fight is to slow everything down
I feel like when the overtime like number hits everybody starts to panic a little bit. Oh, what do I do? What do I do?
What's my play? What's what am I gonna do?
Stop doing that part of it. Okay
Stop doing that part of it. Just
Slow things down. Take your time. That is how you're gonna win a team fight also chaotic Alyssa. Thank you for the tier one
I appreciate that. Thank you chaotic Alyssa that we got to slow it down though. Okay?
Right there you hit a bunch of buttons and the buttons certainly were there. That was a remake double kill
Yes, because they both hid behind the wall
You just let you just do your master button. Thankfully your teammates get back in time, but that's not always gonna happen. So
He's a maximum efficiency and ability usage true
Now I understand if you're afraid to get off cart, right?
Now I understand like
Like, beforehand you still had about 30 seconds when I was starting to call for stuff.
Now I can understand if you want to be a statue.
Straight up.
You can be a statue right now if you would like to be.
Now you can control the corner with just that AOE.
It's a short cooldown, right?
Like it's on the super long, like longest cooldown.
Yep, remember the people in front of you.
That's Eva.
There you go.
Also try to aim towards walls by the way.
Because if you aim towards walls, that's gonna give you the stun effect very much like Doomfist stuns, okay?
Right there you kind of got rolled, but like that was kind of a team effort roll somehow this is still going
That's a really well timed azuki ultimate. I
Love this is that we have a front row seat in overtime. Okay, I think your teammates are getting it
Why are the two supports and the the other team have the same name because you can have
the same name as people in Overwatch.
Yep, there's no like it just adds extra numbers at the end of your name.
Dude, your team clutched that.
I feel like the other team should have won.
Speaking of target focus and patience, damn.
Your team uh, heck that one up a little bit.
Okay.
You're gonna either want to tank this, go in front of the cart.
Yep.
I want to kind of talk about this because I think that sometimes people
will go all over the place to the card.
If you're the tank there, I want you to go in front to lead.
So this is what I do.
And it usually works when a bashing has ultimate towards the end.
I want you to move forward in front of the cards.
So that way is the cards pushing up with you.
They're either forced to out just you or they out backwards and your teammates
have a safe spot to go into.
Does that make sense?
So like in this overtime situation, the cards going to keep pushing forward
and you're going to stick with it.
So you go in front of it, which is going to force the ultimate forward.
and then your teammates have two safety nets.
They can back all the way up,
or they can move to your part of the map.
And if they put the ultimate in front also,
to kind of like in like a one at a time forward,
you'll still survive that because now you can back up.
So you see what I'm saying?
How like, it just kind of gives you an easy entry point
for your teammates to escape.
It's not always gonna work that way,
but it's a good thing to keep in mind.
Pop your ult immediately.
Pop your ult, pop your ult, pop your ult, pop your ult.
Yep, I honestly, ult in the Bastion is fine
because the Bastion is gonna be the one
that gets the most effectiveness.
There you go.
Just keep shooting at the Nevo.
Keep pressuring Nevo.
There you go.
Are we at the point?
Which is the E or whatever?
I'm sorry, I keep saying the E.
I know you're on console, so whatever the thing that, when you snap your finger.
The, that ability, whatever it's called, the crystal one.
There you go.
So, again, you're running into the same issues.
You play actually too safe at times, and I think that's easily fixable.
So, that's the good news. It's very fixable.
Yeah, at least in my opinion.
Yeah. Okay. Um, go forward. We're 20 minutes in. Now you're on defense. Let's see how your
defense goes. Holy crap, dude. What a game this is. He said, uh, the right bumpers. Okay.
Yeah, there you go. Whatever, whatever the button is. Um, people in the comments can
always do that too. This time you chose no shield. I'm okay with that. I mean, as long
As long as you're not pushing there, I'm okay with no shield at the beginning.
That's totally fine. Now you have a finished cooldown.
I would put the shield up soon, right now.
So, right now. Yes.
Now, I want to point something out here, because it's a little bit of-
This is what I would have done personally.
I would have put the shield actually like right here,
because what would have happened is the diva still would have been out of position,
and no one here can follow up, and it gives you the opportunity to push up and create space.
See what I'm saying?
So like, I would have actually put it here, and you have cover right here, this doorway,
and by the doorways cover, and by the time that your next shield is up,
all your cooldowns should be up, and you can just back away and do the same thing.
Say, because you have cover from here to here, and then you can shield out that way.
So I would have actually put it up a little bit further.
Just gives you a little bit more wiggle room, and denies their space for a little bit longer.
Alright, Reaper behind you.
Yep.
Don't be distracted by the Reaper too much.
Red that D.
Look at that D. Look at what you did to that D with HP right away, by the way.
By just doing that early pressure
No, no, no, no, no, no, no, no, no, no, no at a certain point
You have to recognize that you cannot help with that diva and the best thing you can do is control the front line
Or their back line that is
You can go up there now they're down to
See like you can tell there's a lot of like differences how you have to play over time
But if they're down multiple right there you go get that you right
It's when the diva goes in in a 5v5 situation that you need to be that that's all right at the front of the line
Like making sure they're not going anywhere
She'll down but the left is that Reaper you knew the Reaper was there last time
But I will give you a little bit of wiggle room on that one
as
In like you were you were being you were putting the pressure forward you did push up a little bit further
But I think that just ended up being a good play by Reaper. I think there's a chance
I'd go down to the Reaper there because I'm just feeling the
And I'm just being aggressive and it's working right so anyway
We'll see
There it is
Okay, just wait
Also a little bit of a note here you don't have to rush to the point either you can you now have the opportunity to okay
And your teammate went and fed here.
One thing I want to reiterate in these situations is that you don't have to run to the point now.
What is going to be the point?
If you win the team fight, you win the team fight, the game's over, right?
So like your teammates going to the cart there, it doesn't make any sense.
You take a good team fight, it's already six to three, right?
You don't need to go fight for the point at this point because once the team fight's won, the game's over.
That's it, the game is over.
So now what your teammate did, and this is a reminder to everybody who returned to Overwatch
or didn't know this, there's overtime spawns.
So the reason why overtime gets a little bit wonkier and you find that you can make these
really cool comebacks is because there's tentatively a comeback mechanic.
And that mechanic is you have longer spawns if there's longer spawns, straight up.
That's it.
That's the comeback mechanic.
With the longer spawns, there's less teamfights per point, which means there's a reason why you've ever been in a game where the team with four minutes loses to the team with one minute.
It's because the team with one minute actually has the overtime spawns, which can minimize one teamfight per point, which means that they can push the cart really far.
But then when you have your four minute clock, you don't have those overtime spawns, so there's one extra teamfight.
what I'm saying so basically if you're for anybody here it's okay to give up the point
when you have a lead like this when the team fight don't feed anytime you give up these
free team fights that's how you give up this point okay that's how you give up this point
your team staggers and now that now look at these spawns you're you're waiting forever
Right?
You're waiting forever.
The next teamfight won't even happen to the middle of the point where you normally haven't happened right where that Juno is.
Even when they put one on card. Keep in mind that if they had three, it'd be way further up.
So that's one teamfight for a second.
That's just a good play.
Ha ha ha!
That's just sick.
I, you know, I got nothing for you on that one.
Good play.
That's it. That's all I got.
That was just a good play. Not even mad.
So they just gotta nod your head and go, that was just a good play, I don't even got anything.
Yeah that's good, you're probably even typing that right now like good play, there's nothing you can do.
There's nothing, that's just a good devol, go forward, go forward, go forward, go forward, go forward, go go go go go go!
Come on team everybody, this is why, you don't even need your Mizuki there.
So once the deva's behind, it's a 4v4 on cart, dude.
I want you I chat I want you to like take the information you're given sometimes because it is a free path to possibly win this game
And it's right in front of us. So up top is a number that number shows you how many are on the cart, right?
So my vision of this, okay, and hi, how's it going?
My vision of this is what I see, okay?
This is what I see they have we saw a reaper is a diva behind which means now there's only three on cart maximum
But I'm looking up top. There's means there's one person on cart
Which means that right now if your teammates get to the point immediately with a beat you win the game
They will not be able to come back and save your team. They have no ultimates
There's nothing that that would make me like say don't do this play
There's there's tether way to on cart. I guess Juno doesn't count which is random
You think do you think if your team?
TP's pops beat and runs to the cart right now. These two players right now will win
Do you think that a Juno in a Widow can win this right now, if your team, actually I'll
even, I'll even one up this to make it even easier.
Simwall TP beat, Mizuki, everything at once on the cart right now, the game's over.
They will not be able to come back and save them.
They have no ultimates, the D.Va's just out of range.
You have all this play, you should not, you should not lose this team fight at all.
There's an opportunity here.
Pay attention to that, that number up top.
I've won many games where I see that as D.Va or like as any type of tank.
I see there's one on there and I just book it.
And I know that I basically just need to win the duel and then I have time to work with
because they're kind of all over the map.
Now, I'm not saying if there's one person there to just run it down mid,
but you have the tools and the utility right now to go win this play.
I'm just saying.
We'll see what your team does, what your reaction is.
But on paper, you should not lose this team fight.
You're here.
Okay.
Now you just need to TP.
That's it.
Or a beat.
Ready? Go!
Go!
Alright, let's head over there to that point now.
You-you-everybody's here.
You don't want to give them any space. Everybody's here.
The longer you give them time to get a pick, though, the worse it gets.
Look at the cart. There's a widow.
It's just a widow and a dune-o. Please.
Just-just-oh, please. You're gonna win this.
Just run at the widow. You can push the widow.
You win right here, right?
Right
Target focus be patient. It's free kills target focus. Yep, and there you go
And then your Lucio came back and popped beat in the cart after
Do you see how all of this would have been solved by a TP alt stack play and you would have won instead your teammates took the
This is what I was kind of talking about you cannot slow the gameplay down like you did right there
Oh, we have a Zarya swap at the end here. I'm just gonna pause
The only thing okay, let me kind of give you an idea here, and this is why tracking ultimates can also be important, okay?
Keep in mind tracking ultimates does not mean being 100% accurate
It means being like 80% like you're close to the L track
If you know they popped a bunch of ults you already saw Reaper out you already saw their support ultimates
You saw the diva all combo. That's everything everything's out of the picture right now, okay?
Why are you slowing that the team fight down?
Because the only way that I get back into those games is when they slow things down
You understand what I'm saying?
So like if you slow a team fight down
The only team that wants this team fight to slow down is the attacking team to give them time to build alt and get picks
You're not trying to get picks. That's why I was being so adamant about you have the you have the blueprint right here
You TP you pop B you pop every single ultimate and the game is over instead
Instead, you just give up a teamfight, you use all your ultimates, and now I know why the game went to 35 minutes.
Because this game should have ended right when they did that D.va ult play.
That was it. They had nothing left. Unless they got a random pick, which they didn't even do that!
So, anyway, that was a team effort loss right there, by the way.
Team effort loss. And again, just to go back to something that you need to work on, your patience in those really intense teamfights,
You just need to slow it down. You're getting too like, oh no, I need to kill five people at once.
Well, if you don't kill one of them, it's not going to matter about the other four.
Now your team's doing what- This is the reason why I have a bingo card slot that says everybody runs it down mid to an overtime.
You had a whole retake here. Why run it down mid again?
Now you need to slow it down. Give your teammates time.
It just was- It was misplayed across the board here, and I think when you watch this back, you'll start to understand that I'm seeing a lot of hesitation out of you.
And it's so fixable. It is so fixable. The good news is is if your number one issue is that hesitation
That you'll you'll fix that in no time. You might you might feed your cooldowns a little bit
But then that's where you have to find the middle ground
So some way I've always described it and this is some of that is described in sports sometimes is it's you're playing
Not to lose instead of playing to win and when you play not to lose you end up playing way too safe
And that's how you lose games, right?
But when you play to win yes is a little bit more risk
But you're more likely to win more when you're the one playing to win and the other team is playing not to lose so
Anyway, I hope that's kind of like a helpful note for you. Let's see how your attack goes
I mean yeah tunnel vision exists there too, yep
But it just there's some of the panic in those long team fights. Anyway, let's see what happens on your attack here. Let's go
Yo, you can lose by playing too aggressive, but like playing to win is not is not
We got a pause here playing to win does not mean playing aggressive, right playing to win is using your cooldowns more
You know, yeah taking map control, right? That's it. No, you're not running at the cart
You're taking map control. So like playing to win doesn't necessarily mean you just run it down mid to the cart
And that's it you're playing to win. It's about recognizing taking five extra seconds to establish your teammates to a better spot
three extra seconds to come up with a plan.
Things like that, like you're playing to win,
but you have purpose to that victory.
You have a reason, a game plan.
When you play not to lose,
you just kind of don't do anything.
You're just kind of hoping they make a mistake,
and that's how teams lose.
You see it in sports all the time,
where like, I can give you like a,
let me give you a basketball reference.
Your team's up 15 with five minutes left on the fourth,
and rather than, you know,
continuing to play the way that they did to win,
They just start dribbling the ball till 22 seconds,
shooting up a contested three.
And the next thing you know, there's a minute left
and you're down by two.
Because you spent the whole time just dribbling the ball out
rather than just going to play to win.
Now, the odds say you're going to win those games,
but that's how those comebacks happen,
is when those teams started just like, OK,
we got here by driving the lane and throwing a ball out
for a wide open three.
We're winning that way.
But then you stop doing that and you just
dribble in the ball at the half court,
and then you're taking Contest of Threes,
and then next thing you know, it's a close game,
and you lose that game where it becomes way too close.
Anyway, I just want to point that out.
I also am a Celtics fan, so early,
not the current Celtics, but a few years ago
before they won a championship,
that's what they did all the time.
Fourth quarter hits was triple the ball.
So I had to bring that one there.
Anyway, it's the same thing with like zone defenses
and like the NFL, prevent defenses, things like that.
So, if anyone, oh, I know all the sports, right?
So, here we go.
Up we go.
Okay, so you lose your Moira.
Even mine, that means you can have to play a little safer.
So, let's talk about like, kind of the vision of what I'm looking for here, chat, right?
And I think a lot of people want to know, what are you doing in this situation?
You're down a Moira, you can't get up, right?
There's just no way you can get up.
So what I would say is this go to the stairs you have free cover here and you a wide the stairs
Look, what is this going to do? Well, the diva over pushes you the diva is now out of line of sight
So the idea behind this part is they now have to worry about this angle. Okay, apparently your your sims having a blast
But you have to worry about this angle
So if you get here the diva feels obligated to either push you or back up if they go to your backline now
You have the ability to actually see that and then push up here again and take map control
But if you just stand here in the middle of the open and do nothing, you're gonna get nothing done, right?
You're just gonna get nothing done, and you're gonna end up in the same spot. So let's see what your reaction is.
We should be taking the left stairs up for a second.
Okay, this can work too, because they all fell back randomly when your Symmetra went up there, but now it's- you're losing contain.
That's why I wanted you to take the bridge.
Thankfully, it seems to be working out for you, but like, look at- look at what's happening. It's a lot closer than it should be, right?
So the simple play of just walking up those stairs and then going across that little bridge there
You're still alive in this team fight instead. You go the more safer the oh, I don't know where I want to go
Route and they get you and it becomes a risky team fight again
Yes, you win, but do you see why the simple two-second difference of going up those stairs?
That's a play-to-win situation
Okay, and this comes from experience. I've had many moments where I go crap. I didn't take the space
I should have taken like oh man that's on me like because sometimes you play a little bit too safe
But that's why we're reminding you that
There's a lot of opportunity here to just win this game for your team and I've seen you kind of give up that opportunity a few times
All right, I want you to shield up somewhat early here
Okay, well good luck whoever got taken there your mortar did that's a surprising take your more if your more a dies there
I thought you're more involved
That's what I pointed out Chad. That was not the the moira got pulled into the team
Okay, good job here shield up immediately
I want you to shield there you go and the reason why you want to show them immediately change your down one still
So you need to give your teammates time to just like feel like there's a safety in it now
You have it basically defense matrix for anybody wondering when the zuki ultimate just think of it as defense matrix
For diva in a giant circle if you're inside of it, you can't you can get shot at most people won't push into it
Obviously, there's communication levels where you can
Outside of that, to the number one question people will have, can you survive a diva ult?
Well, I would say you could try.
It's not going to go well to answer your question.
Yes, the diva ult will kill your team no matter where you are.
One note I did learn though, is it can technically line a site sigma ultimate.
That's a helpful tip for anybody.
I did have a sigma ultimate ruined by that.
So a little bit of a note here, just to look out for that if you can.
But yes, so there you go.
You can hack up a Sigma Ultimate when it's what I'm saying.
It happened to me.
I'm so confused.
Do beams go through?
Yes, as dominant you can attack through that.
So now obviously as the widow hit the shots,
I think this is still winnable
if you use your Ultimate Reckless.
I want you to really,
the moment they're in front of you,
I want you to like launch yourself.
Don't even hesitate.
You know what I'm saying?
Your Mei had that?
Okay, look what your Mei did, okay?
Then here's the difference between playing to win
and playing not to lose, okay?
Your Mei goes, we're in an overtime fight.
I can't lose this team fight.
Let me pop my Ultimate.
Does it get anybody?
Does it get anybody?
Sure does it, but what does it do?
It backs him up.
It makes him have to go back for a play.
Also, I hate to break it too.
You better have your shield ready because you're about to get absolutely annihilated by an ult
here.
But instead of you making the play, your Mei does it.
Now you still have the opportunity, but you got to make this play immediately.
I want to see this ult now.
Okay, you can shield this.
They hacked it up.
Well, let's talk about this very quickly.
One, I thought that was going to save you, too.
Number two, there's a difference right there.
A team that played to win versus a team that played not to lose, who won the team fight,
the people who made the play.
All of that could have been solved if you popped your ultimate when they were all in front
of you because you would have the cat, you probably killed a jetpack cat and you win
the whole team fight.
Instead, instead because you play not to lose, your team loses the team fight and they're
the playmakers you see the difference there that's why I'm getting I know I've
been very adamant about that to you about how like you just you're so
hesitant on plays but I really think that's the difference it's not a
mechanics issue right like you're fine your mechanics are fine you know
obviously you know a mid-shot here or there like you know that happens but look
what's going on right now like you're losing team fights because you're
just not willing to make that extra step to make a play and that's gonna be the
make a break what rank is this time all right let's see what happens next Jack can
They hold this and win the game or will they end up losing it after this long 35 minute game?
Let's find out because there is a stopping point to it. Let's see
Let's see
I would shield this corner now because I think the sniper will take away too much mass control
so I would I would remember the left side reaper though this happened to you last time
Okay, I don't know. I got no idea what your mortar is doing there, so that's on your mortar
There you go nice
You have you have sighted the re-pronounce. I want you to keep that in mind the rest of this round
Shield up. She'll that's it up. She'll that's it up. She'll that's it up. She'll that's it up
Again, you just gave up what?
40%
Baby diva charge that diva by not shield enough right away
I know that doesn't seem like a lot but in this type of game those extra few seconds can make or break
Also, a little bit of a tip here, and this can be helpful for players.
If you're the diva in that situation, just ask your jetpack cat to fly you back to spawn
and swap heroes very quickly.
This is a very old tip, but some players still don't utilize it.
If you're at the beginning of a game and you're not giving up too much diva, I'll charge.
Like I said, you're not at 80%, you're at like 20.
have your jetpack hat fly you back to spawn very quickly and then just like
switch to like you know roadhog and then switch back to diva you'll get your
suit back and you'll you know at the very least if you had 15% I'll charge
you get 15% back so rather than waste your time trying to get your suit back
very early in a game you know if you have a jetpack hat don't be afraid to have
them fly back to spawn swap to another hero and then swap right back and then
you have your suit back and you basically didn't waste any time outside of that
like a few seconds you did that am I in the blizzard right now yes technically
my whole town has no power right now from what I saw but I'm on a generator so
I'm actually able to stream because of it it's also why I'm not willing to risk
some ranked games today so yes but I have that seabird I have the same storm that
you have right now I'm already up to like a foot and a half and it's still
going for another like 10 hours if not longer so yeah okay anyway let's continue
on here. Yeah, I wish I could give some good feedback about that.
Did your sweat in the warm there?
Yeah, we have more storms coming this week too, you know.
Pushin' back into the may wall, remember that.
Like right there, I see you missed out on an opportunity to de-match this D.va sooner.
You actually opted to not do that, don't...
Okay, let me get this straight.
This whole game, you have been so hesitant, so hesitant the whole time to hit your buttons.
Finally, when you need to save your ultimate, you want your ultimate.
You've got to clean this up.
I'm just telling you, like, that has been the difference.
Like, right there, the reason why you saved your ultimate in that situation is because
you're down three which means that you have another team fight up good luck
well they didn't get anybody like that's it so you just gotta your decision-making
it's been a huge part of it your left is doing some yep I was gonna say I'm the
free kill if you saw him. See ya! Tunnel vision. You still have time your team I'm
gonna be honest with you if your team loses this it's because your team does
not know how to play an overtime. Straight up. Where am I? Like north-east in Massachusetts.
Or not northeast. I'm in Massachusetts. Not like northeast. Like northeast is where I'm
at. But I'm from Massachusetts, yeah. And we're currently having a blizzard. And I'm
currently running on a generator. Because all the power is out. But thankfully it works.
Is it ever considered doing a K-pop Demon Hunter's collab? Oh yeah. I mean, oh yeah.
I'm sure one of the people of blizzards is a huge K-pop fan, and I know he would love to have
Yeah, I'm sure they're already working on it
Okay, get aggressive get aggressive get aggressive get up there get up there get up there just run run out there
We have a trash go to their back line. Don't play it safe run up there put a shield anything help your teammate go forward
You okay, we got to talk about this
You don't want to back up in these situations because if you go forward that's how you're gonna control the space
You're not at this point in the game. You need to recognize okay
You're no longer sitting here playing the safe.
You need to go up here.
This was your opportunity.
You have to go in front of your teammate.
If you do that, you get a kill on Juno.
Your may gets more value.
Your sim can find a good opportunity to wall.
But if you just stand there like a statue, which, again,
a lot of dominant's gameplay will be statue gameplay
because of how you play just very much like Sigma.
But it is over time in a 7 to 7 game.
You get up to that cart in front of your team
and you win the team fight.
You take this game and you go, hey,
sorry y'all had to wait 35 minutes for us to win this game.
That's how you take the game.
But if you sit here, it gets a lot riskier.
We'll see what can happen though.
There's the Sim wall, that's certainly a Sim wall
that does not hurt their team for now.
It kinda does, but it's like not the worst.
Shield up, shield up in front.
No, not behind the Sim wall.
Okay, I guess it's fine, it's fine.
Okay, ready, keep going, keep going, yeah, keep going,
keep going, keep up there.
Run forward, go forward, forward, forward.
Go, keep going up, keep going forward.
Go, go forward to the other side of the-
Okay, anyway, you did win the team fight.
So that's the good news.
So good job.
But listen, you have a hesitation problem
in Overwatch right now that is easily fixable.
And I want you to remember this
when I'm sitting here telling you
to go forward in those situations.
The reason why you go forward in those situations
is to take the space away from their team.
If you let them stay behind the cart,
you're giving them free cover, right?
Your teammates are the ones that pushed up and got the kills.
But if you're saying, hey, I'm going
to let you have this free cover, and that's
what you're going to do, you lose those games.
So the number one thing to work on going forward
is that hesitation.
Because if you fix that hesitation,
this game was over at like five to four,
or something ridiculous, or six to three.
No, sorry, six to five, actually, because remember
that moment where you had all the ultimates you didn't win?
Hesitation is what will lose games for you.
And that's what's going to lose games in general,
because, again, going back to that analogy
of playing not to lose instead of playing to win
is gonna lose you more games than you think.
So more cool down usage, less hesitation,
more safe aggression, remember cover to cover,
that's where you wanna go,
like from one set of cover to the next,
and you're gonna win more games.
Mechanics are fine, you know,
you seem to be able to aim on them for the most part.
Take advantage of your abilities.
There's a diva in front of you, narrow wall,
hit that button to slam that diva against the wall.
Now that diva is gonna lose half their HP,
but do not sit there and be so hesitant
because you're gonna lose game after game after game
and wonder why, because the mechanics that you're seeing
are aligning, right?
You're seeing yourself hit shots, you're going,
oh, my shots are hitting, I don't know what's wrong,
but there's more to overwatch than just hitting your shots.
It's the rest of the game,
because at a certain point,
as you climb, everybody's hitting their shots.
It's what you do next that wins you those games.
So less hesitation, more regression, more ability usage,
take that map control, learn how to take space,
And you're going to win games.
I'm telling you, you're going to skyrocket from there.
You got this.
You absolutely got this.

All of that helps if you want to submit your own.
My Discord is where to do that.
Pretty much anything you submit on my Discord.
And with that being said, I'll wait for that.
If you want to watch more of these, you're going to see it pop up.
We have a bunch of good videos.
We're going to have them recommended.
Click them if you haven't.
And with that being said, I hope you all
have an amazing day slash night.
Done.
Cool. All right, Chad.
That's one done.
I have a Mizuki one to watch next.
And then after that, we'll evaluate what we're going to do.
Keep in mind, I am currently running on no power.
So this is generator power.
So I am a little bit hesitant on doing any ranked
because of it.
So, yep.
Um...
Okay, um...
I was just doing a B, no power.
But I mean, I have power, technically.
Like, I have power to make that clear.
I know I'm being a little bit traumatic with it, but like, if the generator wasn't on,
I would have no power, like the whole neighborhood is out now.
Does that make sense?
Alright, we got a Mizuki game coming up, so.
Let's go to the next one, um, yeah I mean technically I could have taken today off, but
I can't take three days off man, I suck at that, unless I'm traveling somewhere for like
an event, I can't, what is the, Cirque Rale again?
Okay, we got, we got, we got double Cirque Rale, it's a different point of view.
We're going to be watching Mizuki, all right, we get a Mizuki though.
I think it is nice to kind of get a different perspective on this too, so.
Okay, I'll be back one second.
Hit the follow button if you haven't.
If you're on YouTube, like the stream.
Again, thank you for all the love, everybody.
This has been awesome.
I'm going to go just upstairs, do my normal walk, check on everything, see if the generator
is still going.
I'm just curious if the power comes back on.
The generator sounds like a giant truck's outside.
I didn't know it was like that, because my recollection of generators
is always like that little small generator that sounded like maybe,
like if you just turn it on like a slight lawnmower for a second,
that thing sounds like a damn truck out there right now.
So, I don't know if it's gas powered or not.
So, it's actually going to work out when we moved to our house
that gave us the generator for free.
It's actually an expensive one, but they were like,
as part of choosing us as your builder,
we give you a generator for free. So, kind of worked out for me. Right, I got a free generator,
so I'm not complaining. But I'll be right back, we'll do the Mizuki Vaude and then we'll
go from there. Hit the phone when you have it, be right back. Appreciate y'all.
you
you
you
you
Man, that thing's truckin' right now, dude. Let me tell ya. I think you're right, Danny,
I don't know if I did but thank you Danny for the 20 months of the prime so thank you. Okay chat. Um, I am back
Let's uh, let's do this. Let's let's let's do this vaude and um
so
No, my cut I wish although actually I don't even know
Well, we're gonna um, I'm actually towards a whenever I do have to hop off today
I'll go outside and clear the generator as much as I can
Clear anything I can I'm gonna go outside. I'm going outside in that blizzard. I'm doing it
I can't go anywhere, obviously, that would be dumb, but I can go outside.
Okay, um, let's do this, Jay, are you ready?
All right, so today's video, we have a Gold 5 support on PC playing Mizuki.
So we get our first Mizuki Vaude outside of the pro one we watched, but that's, you know,
obviously a little bit different.
So it's be nice to see and they say I haven't played overwatch a way before overwatch 2 came out
But I actually recently started playing comp and I can really use some help. I
Am a Mizuki one trick as I fell in love with his play style and I think overall
This is a really fun hero, but I feel like I can do so much more than I already am doing
I have watched a lot of your videos and try to apply as many tips as I can remember
But for some reason I don't think I am doing enough my team even told me that I should do more and I really tried
but couldn't deliver. I was hoping to get some pointers on how to improve and where so I can climb
the rank in. My overall goal is to reach diamond, but at this rate, I don't think I can. I think you
can. I really hope you can help me out as I really love your videos, tips, and community,
and I really need some pointers to reach my overall goal and also feel free to also have a laugh
while we are at it. Thanks in advance. Okay, I'll give it a go. We'll see what happens. Remember,
Mizuki is an interesting hero. I actually just redid my part of my tier list to put
Mizuki back in a different tier, so you'll see that when my video is out soon, but here we go.
Let's do this. So obviously chat, remember with Mizuki, the range on the left click is 30 meters.
If you don't understand what 30 meters in an overwatch is, use your ping button. It becomes
really easy to understand. Then you have an idea in the range. You'll see how often you kind of
go through. Remember you want to save your chains for the Vendetta, which I think you're
doing the right play. Yeah, because you're on it. You're doing the right thing because
you want to deal with the Vendetta while you're on it, basically keep your line of
lives, right? So remember you also have a range, so try to keep yourself in the A-U-E range.
I don't think that would have saved your on it, but you know, leave it up for chance.
Also something that you can do, you're not using your shift a lot already, which is you're
kind of like you're back and forth one. You can kind of use that as like an invulnerability
frame to where you can kind of like use it as like a teleport back to survive
something so if you're like one of those weird one to be one please hit that
button this one right here to be able to basically by hitting that button you're
gonna basically give yourself a second option to survive and it could go well
Sapphire thanks for the 40 months with the do not take defense but please do not
play our two on stream nobody wants to watch a high level streamer play a dead
game alike how to we can do that ourselves we want to see something we
cannot do this is how your channel got popular in the first place does this out
to establishment have a training range can you go there
hey well listen all I need to do is queue up DPS and then that that high level
goes away so don't worry all right here we go thank you sapphire
Don't be afraid to use your shift by the way. Remember you want to place your shift
if anybody doesn't understand like what it does. It's like a translocator without being
able to destroy it. So a lot of players that I've watched on Mizuki are willing to be
more aggressive and when I'm starting to realize that Mizuki is you kind of can play
like a very fun off-tank style.
So when your team's kind of on your back foot
or you don't know what to do yet,
just hit that Shift button, go in,
and start blasting.
Obviously, pay attention if they have their own Muzuki
or they have a Cassidy,
or they have somebody who can stun you or hinder you
because that will hinder you,
because that will kind of send you back.
But I find that you can create a lot of space that way
and kind of take some pressure off your teammate.
So for example, let's start with something very simple.
I want you to use your Shift right here, okay?
Why right here? It's pretty safe, right?
No one can really see it. They don't know where it is.
Just run at them.
Just go with their team right now and just do a little bit of damage.
Okay?
You have about a four-second window. You're gonna hit the button again.
You're gonna end up right back here and you're gonna be safe.
What they're gonna do is gonna cause them to turn. Ready? Set, go.
Hit the Shift button behind there and go in.
Okay, does that can work too?
Now hit your Shift button.
Okay, you already used it. Sorry, my mistake.
Okay, now you're gonna wait on that cooldown again.
Also, if you overuse your, like, your half cooldown, I don't blame you because it sounds
good.
Okay, use that shift button.
You're using your shift button a lot to disengage backwards.
I want to see more of you going in.
Okay, they went on run.
I don't even know if that on run, I can kill the Torb turret, so I'm not even joking.
How do I know this?
I have a 76% win rate on on run and top 500, and I don't even bother with Torb turrets
at the time.
Unless I'm far away.
You can't, you can't, you can't out-duel.
Okay, regroup.
Good job of using the chains. Remember, the chains are a big part of the kit.
I think as more players get better with the chain, I think more people will see the strength of this hero.
Okay, big slam.
I still feel like you're button mashing a little bit on your, on your shift.
I want you to shift to the point, shift to the point, shift to the point, shift to the point, shift to the point, shift to the point.
Is it that shift button to the point?
Is it that shift button to the point?
So tell me, okay, let's talk about this.
Right, let's just like slow it down for a second.
What would be the reason or not shift to the point there, chat?
You're gonna end up in the same spot you are now,
but maybe there's an off chance you pick up a kill
and you win the team fight.
So why aren't you gonna hit your shift button, right,
to go to the point?
Because you end up here, you're gonna shoot at them,
maybe you pick up a kill, maybe you distract them,
and then maybe you win the team fight, all of that.
You can also heal your rind during that
who was stuck in the corner, right?
I don't think the Ryan's going to survive, but why not give your Ryan an extra two seconds?
Instead, you just sit there.
There's really no point not to do it, because you're going to get snowballed here anyway.
So why not hit such an important cooldown?
Maybe go in and win the teamfight, and instead of it being four minutes and 40 seconds on
third, you're holding second for a little bit longer.
So again, I just want you to remember that cooldown exists, and I think this is where
Mizuki is going to struggle for a lot of players at first, is you need to use your shift a
a lot more to find the value in Mizuki.
Otherwise, you're going to stand there basically
being a lower heel in Lucio, right?
The strength of this hero is building
that number in the middle to max.
And a lot of that is consistent uptime.
But when you sit in kind of heel bot mode,
which is what you've been doing, and I will admit,
when I first started Mizuki, this is what I did,
you'll just get stuck in heel bot mode
and your results will vary.
But when you start to be more aggressive and you go in,
that's when you get kills.
And you don't even need to get a kill.
You just need to look at you.
The moment they look at you, that gives your team opportunity.
So, again, I just find there was no reason not to hit your button there
because I think there was still a chance you'd win that.
Instead, now you lose the team fight,
you're kind of stuck in this weird spot,
you lose your core, even your core gets a kill last second.
This is all line up to what would have been a great fight.
So, either way, you have to reset,
and now you're back to basically square one.
So, mm-hmm.
We said the shift is risky, yeah, this, well,
I'm saying like there's gonna be a world without ships. It's not it's gonna be way less risky to use
I think people just don't like pay attention to the timer as much on those people
And sometimes you get yourself killed for it
But like there's a window where you can at least have like three seconds if you're worried about animation pop
You don't have to pop your all yet. I would pop your alt next to get math control
If you don't win the team fight here now, you don't have to pop it. You're good. You're sad
Enjoy your game, James, have fun.
You've got Enron losing a duel to a Torpter and saying he needs to use the pocket for
that duel.
I mean technically you could do it, you just got the chip away and I feel like I have an
Enron playstyle that I call Enron where I just kind of play hide and seek and run away
the moment they see me.
I would definitely pop your ultimate here now after you kill this Enron.
Pop your ultimate, there you go.
Now remember they can still do damage to people inside of it if they're inside with you or
It's like a beam or something right so keep that in mind, but that was a good else well played
I want to see more shift usage now you can get creative now with your ship
You haven't stopped or any choke so why not play at a right side angle now not with your team play like right here, okay?
And then use this as your shift spot right or maybe even here if you want to be safe
Shift out go through here do some damage shift back go out shift back see what I'm saying that will keep you at max
That will keep you at max for most of it, and you'll basically get way more stuff.
You can do damage while inside of the ultimate, yes.
If you go inside of the ultimate, you can damage that.
Yes, so if you went in there as Cassidy, you would do damage.
But if you're on the outside of the ultimate, you can't do anything.
Unless you're like a Zarya or like a dominant beam, not the shot when you reset like shot,
like the beam itself.
Your soldier is doing more of that flank than you are now.
At that point, by the way, if you're running into an issue there, and you don't have your
cooldowns, just right-click your one of your teammates, then when the hat comes back, he
will heal you.
Remember that.
Your self-heal is the hat.
So if you heal somebody with it, it will bounce back and heal you as, you know, obviously
not a crap time, but enough to maybe sustain you during a teamfight for a little bit.
Okay, let's see what you do next.
You can do damage off walls too, why not.
Do a good job with the chains.
A little bit of a tip for people with the chains because this is something that I had to learn.
Don't flick off the chain shot, just wait.
It's very sensitive when you hit the button, right, it gets really upset.
get really upset. No, but when you hit the button, um, and you're going to go down here.
Again, Lactic Shift, not a view. It's one of the points that I'll have the team fight
go here. Um, I forgot what I was talking about. Oh yeah, the, the, basically once you hit
your, your shift, there's no wiggle room. If you flick your shot, that thing's going
20 feet to the left. So the point I'm making is just be a little bit patient on it. Don't
overdo it and you should be fine. So, okay, let's continue on here. Um, going to this
part okay is bombing inside of the enemy sanctuary a good strat yes because if
you're gonna say you have to ball if you can get it inside of the ultimate then
yes right if I'm correct would force them out of it yes it would force them
out of it or they would take damage from ball yes I want to see more usage of
of your shift. I again feel like you're under utilizing it. And if you're gonna sit here
and just do this, you might as well play Lucia. Okay. You're new here and you're like, Oh,
yeah, this is I have a lot of YouTube videos on this stuff. Again, I go with some more
basics at times, but I think like, I think people underestimate what basics do for you
and overwatch like people want to skip the fundamentals of the game. And that's where
you can get stuck at when you skip all the fundamentals, people concentrate so hard
of the mechanics, like getting your shots,
that like, you end up like climbing a little bit,
but then when you get to the spot you need to get to,
your fundamentals are lacking,
so you just miss out on so many hours of fact,
and shit you can already be doing.
Again, I feel like you're using your shift as like a,
you know what I'm saying?
I feel like you're using your shift
like you would use Wu Yang's slide back.
And I think that's where you're going wrong here,
and I think this is a good way
to kind of give you an analogy of it.
You know how with like Wu Yang,
You use like the whatever the cool down is to like basically go backwards and go really fast
I feel like you're using it like that when you want one. Yeah occasionally you can use it like that
I want you to use it aggressively like I want to see you in there in in their back line near their team
I want to see you do that. So yeah
But I think if you don't do that you're gonna end up feeling a bit stuck sometimes
I think you're gonna be fine here because you can get your health
Okay, now, like right now, thankfully they just got off the cart.
Like, like, yeah, they see, now we're gonna turn back to your spot if you need to.
Like, you don't need to, nice shot.
You don't need to pop any health here.
This is, I want to give people kind of an understanding of things,
because sometimes I'll still, people do this to a,
I want to show something here.
Let me go back like one second. This is just a note to give to people.
I always talk about it, but I want to show it in real time.
Right here, when you see a Mauga do this, this is going to be really hard to kill a Mauga, right?
And I think a lot of people will then also use their support ultimates to keep their Mauga alive during this.
This is the moment where Mauga's lifesteal will basically, as long as the Mauga's hitting shots, will survive.
So, I also think this is a tough part to duel Mauga.
So if you're ever playing against a Mauga and you see this, just disengage and then go for the kill after a Mauga will fall over.
A lot of people will sit there and take the duel against Mauga.
They'll sit there, they'll try to kill him, and they won't be able to kill him, he'll charge, stun them, and then the team fight flips just like that.
So, look for this. This means that there's Lifestyle activated and Damage Reduction on Mava.
As well as, I think it's like, what, 20% for teammates now, or maybe they got rid of that, I forgot what they did, but anyway.
So, just wanted to point that out.
You notice how your Mava got no heals right there, it's the same, half HP?
You didn't have to do any of that. This here looks great, I know, isn't it? Good pause.
So, I hope that's helpful.
I mean, I'm gonna hear me say the same thing throughout this vlog if you're standing here like this you're gonna lose so much out
Like you just got to hit that shift and be aggressive. I'm telling you you're gonna get so much better if you do
How bad you get go that storm
You give you an idea that storm is still going it's going for another 12 hours and I'm currently running on a generator
So I have no power technically, but I do cuz the generator so yes
That should give you an idea. My whole town has no power right now. Like the whole map is just an outage.
So, yeah, here we go.
That's fine. That's fine. Yep.
Obviously, you can't do anything about that because so what happened there, you're probably wondering how the
the, um, the alt-titch is, let's go back to what we were talking about.
Yeah, you already went into your ultimate and then and then pop that.
You can go into the ultimate and use your abilities or your shots. If you're outside of the ultimate, you'll eat everything.
Does that make sense except like again beams
Well I'm runs different I'm run like same thing same concept, but like dude
I feel like sometimes when I use an online ultimate it heals the enemy team
So that was the least of my worries there
Yeah, this will be you can watch it
Sharky you can watch it
Back on the Vaude the YouTube video will be out in a few days
So if you wanted to wait in for the more edited like kind of like polish version you can do that too. It's up to you
Okay
Either way, you'll be out within a week on YouTube, but if not you can just look at one of my vods
I mean my YouTube has a vaude this has a vaude
So it's still there if you want it if you want to utilize that okay? Anyways, it's anyone
Okay, we got a lack of shift you doing everything if you want some good advice here or like I mean
some good feedback you are doing everything else right from an ability usage point of view but
like this is the equivalent of like if you never okay this is not the best analogy but it's the
Closer than what I can see, like imagine never using like Moira's shift to be aggressive.
You only ever use it to go backwards and that's it and you do nothing else with it.
Like yes you're getting value but you're not utilizing what you can do with your kit.
You're just very, you basically want to play Lucio with your kit.
With the way that you play this.
soldier ran right into that but honestly that's one of the hardest assaults to avoid because I
never know where it is. Any any stuff video-wise goes to my discord I want to point out we do get
a lot of submissions so it's a chance we get to them there's no guarantee. I always want to put that
out there for people I don't want to I don't want you to feel jubated. I really do I'm telling you
the moment you start being more proactive with this shift you're gonna you're gonna see why I
I think Mizuki is as good as Mizuki is.
Big Mac, thanks for 27 months with the Prime,
so thank you for your thank you.
Appreciate it.
Okay, just wait it out.
Like right now, shift, go.
Go, go, go, just go, go kill the Pylon above you.
Like this is like, this is like things you can do.
You ready?
You don't know what to do?
Go over here, shift this way,
shoot at the Pylon, return back.
If you kill this Pylon,
you've already nerfed their cop a ton
because they have a Zen, right?
Little things like that can make or break.
Don't just stay in there.
Of course, you're gonna stand here
and do the same thing, but like,
that is what you need to do.
Now, you can bob your alt here if you'd like.
So now, chat, if that, watch this.
Okay, they never shot it.
They must have just hated it or they missed it.
So there you go.
Kiwi, thanks for the prime.
Something I can say, is Mizuki already meta?
I don't know yet.
I know Mizuki's better than people think Mizuki is,
but I think that goes down to like, what we're seeing.
If you're not utilizing your shift,
then you're probably not utilizing the hero
in the way that you can.
So the Mizuki did the ultimate.
So I'm glad that we did see that.
So did you see how the Mizuki ultimate ate the Ayari ultimate?
That time was because rather than the Ayari
flying into the Mizuki ultimate and being
able to use the inside of the Ayari
trying to shoot from the outside of the Mizuki ultimate,
and the Mizuki out ate it.
Do you see what I was trying to get at with that,
of how that interaction works?
How old is this replay?
I'm not sure, a few days probably.
And again, I want you to look at your healing numbers too.
Like you have 11,000 healing,
you could have so much more there.
You love your, you love Sigma Ultimate against Mizuki.
A bit of a note though,
if you put it on the outside of the ultimate,
it can stop the elk.
So make sure it always goes in the center.
I actually do that once,
where I put the Sigma Ultimate on the outside
to try to get them and it counted as a wall.
So remember to just make sure it goes inside of the ultimate
because I did make that mistake.
This is gold five.
Yes.
Anyway, let's go back.
Like right now,
like shift to the left room where your jump is at.
Nope.
Again, you're using it for the eye frame aspect of it only.
Even then you're not using it as much as you could.
Like right now, shift up there.
Why not shift up there?
Put it like behind the cart,
shift up there and be at their front door.
I know I'm being very adamant about this,
but it's also to help players understand timings.
Like, you could easily already have this map like one,
or this map held if you were just doing that.
So, and I think it's good that we got this replay,
because the more and more I watch this,
I think this is why I think a lot of players
are saying Mizuki isn't that good,
or it like doesn't seem to like,
you're not meant to just sit around your team
like you're playing Lucio.
You're meant to end up with your team
like you would play Lucio,
but you gotta utilize that shift.
If you never utilize the shift, you're just missing out on basically 33% of your kit.
You're basically nerfing yourself.
You'd love to see more of the Spectator and Pro series stuff.
Yes, so I have all five heroes lined up for that.
I think we have three more to go.
With me being a part of OWCS now as a streamer, I will definitely frequent those more, the
Pro Player perspective ones.
Obviously, being with Dallas Fuel, maybe I'll watch some Dallas Fuel players give that
motion errors are the fewer players, because they're great players.
But the point I'm making here is, yes, I will do more of those.
Keep in mind, it's about a month until pro play really returns.
I know they've had qualifiers recently.
But yeah, of course we'll do that.
I kind of stayed away from them a little bit last year
because I kind of just forgot, to be honest with you,
because I was doing so many spectators.
So yes, I will incorporate more pro spectators,
and I will break them down even better.
Let's see.
Here we go.
Let's see what happens here on defense.
We'll see if you make any changes.
Again, you're probably going to hear the same thing.
I think you're using your kit correctly outside of your shift.
Everything else is fine.
You're saving your chains, which if you hit them is great.
Perk selection, you're going the more
killer style perk selection, which is OK.
Keep in mind, if you're good with the skill shot, the one,
if you're good with the skill shot,
I would definitely recommend the other one, too.
That 30% increased damage when their chain
could basically win against backline pressure
pretty much every single time.
So don't be afraid to get that if you feel confident in your skill shot.
The other perk is kind of up in the air.
So what I mean by that is the right click, the right click shield one I like because I like the extra like heal I get,
but the other one, if you're utilizing a team strategy and you're stacked together like this,
that extra effectiveness and that buff from when your thing's on the ground could go well.
I don't think that fits your playstyle, so I think the shield one is going to be the best one for you.
As well as the other one.
Moga vs. Moga, cardiac overdrive vs. cardiac overdrive. There you go. Break right now. If you had your shift, I'd already be in there.
Return!
You've got to work on your cooldown usage, I'm telling you. This would be so much easier for you.
I think you're gonna level up like straight up because like I don't think you realize how much you're missing out on
Cozy thank you for the gift itself. I appreciate it. Thank you. Thank you. What was the rank old five?
You're almost out of time, you can't run around again.
A little bit of a note.
You said you're deleting and resending your submissions.
I would be careful on doing that if you're
trying to just get to the front of the line of stuff.
One crap will notice that.
And if you want to know, the Discord actually
will tell you that, too.
It tells you if you delete something.
So try not to do that over and over again.
I don't want to see you get banned or anything
for trying to abuse that like submission process.
I would recommend not doing that.
Again, if the Vaude isn't, like crap goes to like 40
or 50 Vaude's all the time, checks things out.
So just be careful of that, okay?
I'm trying to save you from getting banned there.
All right, I'm trying to save you from getting banned.
All right, anyway, here we go, back to this.
Definitely water, yes.
Okay.
Yes.
I mean, again, you're using the shift like you would use the Wu Yang ability.
And once you get that out of your play style, you're going to be in a good spot.
Now, I want to reiterate, it doesn't mean you don't use it for that type of play sometimes.
You just don't make it a f***ing of your main game for you.
You're going to have to do that sometimes.
So, yeah, it's the same thing. No, no, we're not saying don't resubmit
bots, Aaron. The person said they were deleting bots and then resubmitting them. Does that
make sense? Listen, you can always put up bots, right? Just don't delete them and resubmit
them. That's it. Because like, there's a chance that crap already saw it and he's just like,
okay, this isn't going to be a good YouTube video, right? Because a lot of you don't remember,
And I'll just kind of give people hints on this one.
You have to remember that our spectators
also a balance of entertainment.
One thing I always wanted to do with these spectators
was be very helpful, but also be entertaining, right?
I didn't want them to be purely down of the wire.
You know, I got a chalkboard out,
we're doing some education, right?
I wanted them to be a fun watch
where I give you helpful tips that can help a lot of players,
but are also entertaining.
So you have to find that balance.
So when you're submitting something, think about that.
Think about what happened in this game
that could be super entertaining, right?
It could be as simple as a crazy play happens
that we haven't seen.
It could be as simple as, holy crap, my tank had 27 deaths
and we won this game or what the heck happened?
It could be, hey, I'm trying Mizuki for the first time.
Hey, you know, truthfully, we don't get a lot
of bronze videos.
You submit a bronze video, there might be a higher chance
right now because there's not a lot of bronze players.
What's another one?
You know, I'm playing Farron, I go 20 and 20 every game.
Like there's things like that that,
If you think about that, that's the way to kind of get there, right?
So just so you know, all right?
Well, yeah, I mean, the thing is, is like practicing leaving and back to what
you're saying, leaving their doll in like a, are you talking about the thing
that you leave on the ground, leaving that in a spot, in a good spot?
I didn't have to do one that.
The other, I was, I showed that example earlier of a good spot to do it at.
So, yeah.
When you finish your placement, they'll probably be more.
Yeah, we actually don't get as many bronze inhibitions.
Why do there's as many like bronze mangos that you see?
Obviously the way that I watch those videos is might be different like I still you know give the full feedback
But if you watch the recent widow one sometimes they can be wild
The one with the way don't get shooting over and over again like just kept tapping the shots
Any plans for any funny moments soon crap with no I
Don't I think there might be a replay code reset sometime soon, so we might get a hatch on that one, but we'll see
Again
Same thing here. You're understated on the hero and where you're supposed to be. You're just not you're either lying in your folder, so
Okay, there it is
So winnable, yeah, you can go inside there and see just right click right click your teammates
Utilize your heels here keep your teammates popped off. You should be fine
They didn't have enough time to get the kill unless this Lucio is the best Lucio ever you're probably gonna win this team fight
And there you go. It's actually crazy to me that like
Yeah, if you're playing a pretty solid Mizuki, you're just not you just basically playing the equivalent if I play D.Va without flight
You know what I mean? So
It's like you got some you got some great
Like mechanics here to go with to work on just got to get you to use this damn ability more because I think you're you're so close to
Being able to just pop off
So which is exciting to see all right
Let's see how this attack goes see if you pick up the win see if you get the loss either way let's find out
I was a good one wasn't it?
Muzuki's hat don't go through shields, yes you're trying to heal, exactly, yep.
It's definitely a good interaction if there's a shield in front of you, with the right ones.
Hey, you went forward for 10th of a second there on that.
Again, someone pointed out is make sure that you had your recall right here.
Just always try to put it in spots that's safe.
Again, not gonna be perfect, but if you need to fall back at any point,
at any point it's good to have it in the same spot.
Storm support, thanks to the 20 months of the tier one.
Thank you, thank you, thanks.
Okay.
Wait a second!
It finally happened, Chat.
It took all the way to the end of the game.
About 20 minutes at 16 minutes in.
I have finally saw you go forward with this ultimate and go for a kill, or not the ultimate, the ability.
Finally, do that the rest of the game.
Straight up, I know this was a snowball fight, it was a slam dunk win on this one, you knew what you were doing.
But like, I'm telling you, you can do that the whole game.
The whole game you can do that. I'm not joking.
Well like crap are you available in game or are you like power outage?
Okay, here we go.
Okay, good ultimate, I don't mind this.
I do like the aggressive out there.
There's your backup.
Now, chat, like that's an example of where I'm okay with you using the Mizuki play backwards,
because the Reaper's right in front of your face, right?
That's a good example.
But like, that's when your gameplay loops the whole time, and I want to get you out
of that.
drop here, um, keep doing your thing, spam up, coming down to basically one team fight.
Yeah. You have Maugal, they're gonna have Maugal. Oh, that's fine crap. I'm just thinking
like if I want to do that diva guide thing that I'm thinking of doing crap, I might need
you to like stand still as a statue on like two maps. I just need like a statue for a
couple things. Something extravagant. It's just like the first question. The first question I have
from that diva guy thing from back here, sorry Chams was, oh also crap, we're not doing that myth
busters. I, it's trust me, that one's, that ship has sailed for that one. Okay. Sly beast, thanks
for the nine months of the prize, I think you appreciate it. So like someone, the first question
How do you decide when you when you fully commit with divas boosters versus just poking and peeling and like I kind of
Wanted like have you to stand still also poop thanks at the hundred thirty two months of the tier one. Thanks. Appreciate. Thank you
I want you to like basically stand still on the middle of Kings Row
Like you kind of get a point across now and now amazing cars
I'm just gonna keep going here. Here we go. All right
So like right here, I would I would personally use a shift right now we get a dress up there
You have a window of opportunity
You decided not to
Okay
Look right there. Why not shift away and get out immediately and then do all the I don't know
Maybe you already use it. I missed the play. I feel like you can't you I frame that too
Would like just using the shift and then going back
I don't know if we will cleanse it, but you get I frame the timing of the L either way you miss out on some stuff
Yeah, I was gonna say so you could shift that yeah
Not at off of you, but when they pop it, you can basically avoid it.
Yeah, like a diva on time with recall.
Just a little bit of a note here.
Actually, you lost that. I was gonna say, you had a teammate there.
And there you go, you're gonna lose in the game.
So, like, let's just, like, just very quickly.
Also, I hit this new bug here where I can't hit the button again.
But, like, I really feel like right now you need to figure out that shift ability.
And, oh, not shift. I keep saying shift or whatever. Is it E?
Sorry, I might have called it shift many times. I'm talking about the the translocator one
That whatever that whether that's bound to this key bind stuff you need to do. I might have rebounded, etc
Basically use that translocator that that that shift that teleport or whatever it is right it is shift
Okay, like use that way more often
I think a lot of what's happening now where players are saying hey, Mizuki isn't that good this kind of goes to like
Like when Brig was finally in a good spot, like after like the initial burst, people
were like, yeah, Brig's not good.
And you come to find out, players were just healing with armor packs.
That was it.
Like players were just healing with armor packs and nothing else was happening.
And you're like, yeah, Brig sucks.
Like I'm running out of armor packs.
Yeah, but that's the least of Brig's handling.
The most of Brig's handling comes from proc and inspire by doing damage with your abilities,
right?
So the point I'm making here with Mizuki is I think we're right now in a spot with
Mizuki, where people are going, well, Mizuki's good,
but like, why is Mizuki gonna be better than this hero?
And I think with your shift and your movement ability,
when you don't utilize that, you're gonna struggle.
You actually played hot take or not hot take.
I think you played a very fine game here.
I think you played, say that ability didn't exist,
I wouldn't have many issues with how you played, right?
Say that just wasn't there as an ability.
I feel like you played that pretty fine.
You were with your teammates, you were hitting your heels,
you hit your shots when they were in range of you,
you did a good job,
but then you had a whole nother button that you never hit.
And when you did hit it,
you used it like you were playing woo-yong.
So, start utilizing that being more aggressive.
Doesn't have to be in a ranked game,
go into a quick play for a few games.
Start going in there aggressively,
start getting that muscle memory time
and have like four seconds, I'm out, I'm back to my spot.
Now I'm at max this, I can heal, I can damage.
You're gonna win so many more games if you do that,
I'm telling you.
So, work on that, anybody learn a Mizuki?
Work on that, and you're gonna see the value of this hero,
because this hero, I think, is a lot better than people think.
And it starts with using all of your abilities correctly.
But you got this, you absolutely got this.
If you liked the video, make sure to hit the like button,
subscribe to the YouTube if you haven't,
leave a comment, all of that helps.
If you wanna submit your own, my Discord's where to do that
for pretty much anything, so,
exclamation point discord in my chat,
I don't know why I said that,
because you're watching a video, it's in the description.
Also, if you wanna watch more of these,
look on the side here, you're gonna see a video pop up,
Make sure to click that's gonna be a good one. And with that being said, I hope you all an amazing day
slash night
Done. All right chat. So
Those are the recordings. I felt like those were very good. I was very happy with those
I'm gonna go pee and then chat. I've had this diva guide. I've had a record for a while
Just to give people
Something to kind of iterate here into why I'm doing this. I currently am running on a generator right now
I don't know if my power is gonna really go out. I have never really had a generator to do that stuff
so I'm doing a lot of recording stuff today.
I have a meeting at 1.30 regardless,
so that's my cutoff time regardless,
so I figured why not record some videos on my backlog?
I have a whole style of video I can record right now.
I don't need all the footage now,
I just need to record my voice talking about the questions
and maybe I can get some more stuff from chat to go with this.
So if you all are down, are you ready for me
to record my first ever Q&A guide?
It's a new style of guide I wanna do
where I have people submit questions about a hero
and that way I have an idea of what people are looking for
rather than me just kind of going, this is diva.
You shoot your rockets, they do damage.
I want questions, I want.
So this is my first ever Q&A guide,
is what I'm calling it, to where basically it's a guide,
it's gonna sound weird, it sounds like I'm selling AI.
It's a guide creator for you basically, right?
So like kind of, rather than me guess what you need to know,
answer the questions that you want to know.
And because sometimes I can miss that.
So anyway, I'm gonna go P, I'm gonna grab a T,
actually if I even have a T, and then we're gonna record that,
And then we'll go from there, OK?
Sound good?
I'll be right back at the fall, but if you're having a run
YouTube like this dream, let's do this.
We're back.
All right, I'm back.
Thank you everybody for being patient with me.
Also do that too.
I was just looking outside man.
Dude, it is crazy.
There's going to be, there's some trees that are, let me tell you, I don't even know how
they're still standing.
One of them already broke, like in half, like it is crazy.
I was looking out at where the cats are upstairs,
because I was looking outside and it is crazy.
Okay, yeah, you're ready for a random impromptu diva guide
that is gonna be even more talkin' than anything,
because eventually we're just gonna use it for,
we're gonna be using it for other stuff?
Yeah, of course, Lonnie's here, yeah.
Oh, yeah, Lonnie was just telling me how her friend's husband, they were trying to force
her to go him to go to work today and and and what's and what's outside.
Yeah, what does he do?
We're at a toy company and they were like trying to get in the go in and they're getting
mad.
At Firebrand Long Place.
Firebrand, thanks for the 10 months of the tier one, thank you, appreciate it, yeah.
At Firebrand Long Place celebrates 10 months of membership.
Be safe out there, you all.
It's terrible out there.
And yeah, it is.
It is.
It's crazy.
Almost a year less than three.
Yeah, they finally cancel it because you can't.
You literally, if you try traveling on this right now,
Chad, you would not be able to travel on this.
I'm just saying, like, it's legitimately,
I barely can see outside because it's so much snow and wind.
And I'm in that orange section right now on the snow,
where it's like three inches an hour of snow, which is like.
Yeah.
Okay, anyway, so I'm gonna do some a little bit different chat. I know this is again, I'm just I'm trying to avoid playing games because like I said all this like, you know, as you can tell we have a lot of storm here. So I'm trying not to overdo it. Even Lonnie was saying that we need to, we look at our generator we can't overdo it, apparently.
I don't want to lose my generator like stuff either.
So we'll see.
Here we go.
So I basically, to give everybody an idea here,
and again, this isn't going to be the full video you're
going to see.
I'm doing this because I've had this kind of here
with all these questions.
And I figured, let's start with this.
I'm not going to have much in-game footage here chat,
It's a lot of Q&A, but eventually this will be put into like a fully edited video that will be done after the tier list is done.
So let's do it. Let's have some fun. If I see any questions I want to do after we'll go from there.
Crap. Honestly, you can go shovel, dude. Do your thing. I don't need any footage. We can do all this footage later.
Rushdog, thanks for the 28 months with the tier one. Thank you. Appreciate it. Thank you. Thank you.
You're in the same boat as not as intense. Oh, damn.
But thank you for the 28 months. Okay, so
I'm going to go through these questions and I don't know how long they'll take.
I'm sure to be, we don't have a ton ton, but we have a good amount.
So here we go.
So the first question I have for this diva guide was, what's the priority with missiles?
Oh no, sorry, that's not the right one.
This is the top one.
How do you decide when to fully commit with divas boosters versus just poking and peeling?
What cues do you look for in a fight?
Okay, so it's a great question because with diva, I've always talked about how diva is
a backline assassin.
The idea behind D.Va is you go into their back line to get a kill.
You survive long enough, right, in the back line.
You survive long enough in the back line to fly away.
That's basically what you want to do.
Now what do I look for in those situations, right?
Well it depends.
It's a little bit different now because I think you can over commit since the new sub roll
passive and I'm glad I waited to do the video till then because the sub roll passive is
when you fly in the air.
I think it activates after what, like, 0.8 seconds or something, but basically when you're in the air, you heal.
And it's allowed for me to finish games as D.Va with 3, 4,000, sometimes 5,000 healing, which is like two extra alts.
Way more survivability. So I think there's a little bit of new playstyle you can also bring to the table here with D.Va.
But to the question of what cues do I look for in a fight, cooldown usage. It's the most important thing.
Right? Let me give you an example. I'm going to give you an example of a hero you don't normally dive, but where I would take advantage of this.
I just watch the Genji going to my team, not get a kill, dash away and use the Flet.
Right away. That's a free kill, right? I'm looking for advantages there.
Not a hero you would normally dive, but I see a Genji use the Flet and dash out.
Go kill the Genji for free, right?
At the very least, if you see that Genji gets help from a brig,
now you have two people looking at you and you've done exactly what Tanken is.
It's creating space, correct?
So a lot of the queues come down to who's out of position, right?
Is there a Zenyatta for free in the back?
That's a free kill for D.Va.
You're a backline assassin.
Does that Zenyatta have ultimate?
Well, now I need to think about, OK,
I'm going to get Zenyatta ultimate out.
But then my game plan is to survive what comes next.
So I need to play around the idea that I need to position myself
to fly away from the Zenyatta.
Do you see how there's a lot of nuances the right way
to describe it?
But there's a lot of different variations to that.
But to simplify, to make it the easiest way ever
on when to fully commit with d.va.boosters versus poking and peeling,
they use an important cooldown.
There isn't five of them right there standing still ready to kill you.
That's your opportunity.
An example I'm going to give in the video is against Azaria,
right, if you're in King's Row.
A lot of people see Azaria on King's Row defense.
They go, well, I can't play the game anymore.
That's it.
I got to go to spawn.
I see Azaria on first point King's Row.
I do this.
No, I'm just kidding.
I just fly up top behind them.
Now I have an opportunity, right?
That Zarya needs to make a decision.
Am I gonna pop all my bubbles?
Well, if I see a Zarya use all their bubbles,
while they're just sitting on the middle of the point
and I'm flying around them
and like that backside of first point King's Row
and we'll show this example in the video.
Like, what can they do?
So all I need to do is wait.
I can sit there, I can wait for a cooldown,
I can wait for them to be aggressive,
I can wait for Zarya to pop two bubbles.
Do you see what I'm saying here?
Is you can eventually just pick and choose your team fights
that's gonna be advantageous to you.
D.Va's very hard to peel for.
Not as hard as, let's say, like a Doomfist right now.
Actually, no, I actually think
D.Va's harder to appeal for than Doomfist, actually.
Doomfist is kind of like a very clear cut way
and you can still survive the initial stuff.
D.Va can pretty much backline assassin you.
So, it's just something I want to get people in the habit
of remembering, look for those cooldowns,
go in, make your plays, but always have an escape plan too.
If you do that, people are gonna ban D.Va on you
because D.Va's gonna be so good.
The mistake people always make on D.Va
is I gave you the example of Zarya.
People play Diva like Zarya, I made this example for everything.
You are Diva, you are playing Diva like Diva.
Okay?
So, do you mind?
I'll get to the chat.
If you don't mind holding some of those questions
for after I get through my initial questions here,
that works, so save them up.
Does that seem like a fair plan?
Because as I'm kind of explaining this,
I'm gonna look away from chat sometimes
and I'm gonna miss those questions.
So, I would say save those questions
for when I finish up the ones I have right here, okay?
And then, does anything else that I think
is like really cool for, we'll add to it.
Does that sound good?
Sound good?
Okay, so there you go.
I think that covers the first question.
It's pretty straightforward of pay attention to cool downs,
look for your opportunity, don't do that.
I think that's a pretty straightforward way to explain that
and I'll show an example or two in that one.
Okay, next one here is what's the priority with missiles?
What do you do with it and when is it good to maybe save it?
Uh, I mean, this kind of is a connection to the other question missiles are basically used to get free kills and burst damage on people in front of you
Um, I actually think missiles is probably one of the more high uptime abilities
You're gonna have in the sense that you're gonna be using them a lot. I don't really look to save them
I don't like
Like I'll give you if you want an example of when to save them. We can kind of use the Genji example
I know Genji has blade. I know we have to kill Genji quickly
I'm gonna say my my missiles to either force out a deflect right away or get a free kill on the Genji
Is that seemed like a good way to kind of answer that of like a
Genji has blade. I know they have blade. There's two ways to disrupt the blade
Well three, but like there's only two ways you can do it with diva you either kill them, right?
Right away with all your damage or they deflect and now they've already kind of stopped their loop that they're looking for right so
So, you know, moments like that where you're trying to track an ultimate, but for missiles,
they just do a lot of damage.
You can, you can use them to break shields.
You can use them to pressure a tank, truthfully, going back to the Zenyatta example.
Like if I see a Zenyatta and I have missiles, that's where my missiles are going.
I know it's a guaranteed kill because of the hitbox.
So if you find yourself saving your missiles a lot, I would recommend just using them more.
And then after that, you're going to find like situations where you may need them, but
don't be afraid to launch them and do a shield.
Don't be afraid to pressure out a deflect.
I mean, sometimes I can get a Genji deflect out
by just hitting my missiles.
And I just know, yes, I'm kind of like
wasting a cool down temporarily,
but like at the same time,
Genji without deflect is a way different beast.
You get what I'm saying?
So if you get a Genji to use a deflect
by using your missiles,
I think that's a net positive for the D.Va.
Because yes, you lose your missiles,
but D.Va is still good without the missiles.
So maybe use them in a way that forces out cool downs.
More, if not, you get free kills.
So, just another way to look at that, okay?
Also Chad, has this been helpful?
Just to get an idea to make sure
I'm going on the right way.
Is this considered helpful,
even if you're trying to like not learn Diva,
but you listen to this like video?
Does this seem like a,
because like I said, my idea behind the guide video
is Q and A style rather than this is what you need to do
and what you should do
because I think there's too many different play styles.
So, I'm basically, I'm trying this approach differently.
Again, Twitch, you get the,
you're gonna get the more scuff version.
This is gonna be cleaned up to where you're not even gonna know
we recorded this on stream.
Speaking of that, my tier list,
which should be out either today or tomorrow,
we did the exact same thing.
So I'm curious to see how that comes out too.
I just stream so much that this is how I have to record
sometimes because I stream a lot.
Anyway, I just wanted to get that out there.
Dommie, thank you for the 10 months with the tier one.
Thank you, Dommie, I appreciate it.
Thank you, thank you.
Okay, let's continue on here.
Again, questions. I'll do any other further questions at the end of this. Okay, chat. Does that sound good in a curveball? Thanks to the 18 months of the tier one. Thank you, Bishop. I'm not done with the guy. You're good.
Yep. Will there be a mythic skinless tier video? Sure. I don't know when. Okay, ready? What perks are best for Diva? Is it worth picking different perks into different teams, comps, slash maps? It's a great question.
That's a great question.
So if you want me to give you my honest opinion on carbon
perks for Diva, the minor perks are kind of like, OK.
I will say with the new style of Diva,
where if you stay in the air due to the sub roll passive,
that heals you.
I do think that the perk that gives you the extended flight,
I will show it here what it does.
Actually, I'm just going to, I don't know.
Yeah, basically the perk that kind of when
you bump into people does damage and gives you
extended flight, I think that one's
going to be way more beneficial now with the new sub roll
passive.
The baby Diva one's fine.
Like if you're getting DMect a lot, like it's kind of cool.
But I do think the other minor perk is just above and beyond that.
I want to reiterate that you might be watching this video six
months down the road, and that's already changed.
Perks are constantly flowing.
That's one of their new balance points in Overwatch.
So I could be mentioning that right now,
but I would always say just check on the updated perks.
For Major perk, one of them gives you the sniper part.
This one is really good for, I would say, against snipers.
I find that against snipers, I need a little bit more of that deadly accuracy.
So that's the one where when you hit your reload button,
and it reduces the spread on your shots.
And because it reduces the spread on your shots,
what ends up happening is you're able to snipe a widow at an effective mid-range
in comparison to you needing to be much closer.
The other perk I actually like overall, it gives me more survivability.
And I do believe that being in your mech is far more important
than the occasional widow pick.
So I've been leaning a little bit more towards the shield one,
which is what gives you the over shield.
This allows you to regen more,
allows you to regen a little bit quicker than you would.
On top of that, this again goes with that sub roll passive
that will pop up on the screen.
That basically benefits D.Va so greatly now
that I generally fall for that one.
But I would say for the major perks,
it's gonna be play style preference.
I'm much more of an in-between D.Va.
I like to be aggressive and also help my team.
You know, I would say that if you're more aggressive D.Va
and you're not really worried about your mech
and things like that, then you go the other way.
So, Minor Perk, I think I kind of give you a direct one.
Major Perk is up for you, okay?
Next up I have, how often should D.Va be in the back line?
This is a really good question, and the answer is yes.
I know that's not the actual answer you're looking for,
but basically D.Va has become much more
of a back line presence tank.
A lot of people want to play D.Va
like you would still play Zarya, Reinhardt, Sigma.
That's just not the case anymore.
D.Va doesn't have the ability
to take a bunch of poke damage.
So what I mean by that is, when I say ability to take
poke damage, you can survive in your mech all day long, right?
But if you constantly get poked out,
you're never able to use your cooldowns.
So when you're playing D.Va, and this is kind of a challenge
I have for D.Va players now, because I had to create
this challenge for myself, start to figure out
how to get to their team without running it down middle,
without going the direct path you would always go.
King's Row, I will show this example.
First point, you're on attack, Zarya's right in front
you on the point, do you run at the Zarya or do you fly behind the Zarya? The answer is you
fly behind the Zarya. This is now going to put you into the back line. If they leave you be,
you pretty much win the whole team fight. If they peel for you, you help your team maybe win
the team fight. Do you see what I'm saying? So I would say that if I had to give a percentage
and I and again, this number can shift based off of the map. There's a lot of like nuance to it.
70 to 70% of the time, you're probably going to be in the back line. I'm not even joking.
Now, you could argue that some of that backline might be your teammates.
It depends what they're running.
I don't want you to be afraid of helping your teammates, but that's what the 30% is.
That 30% that you're in your team's vicinity, that's where you can help your teammates.
The other 70% of that, the more pressure you put on their backline and survive, because
a lot of that's what's going to be, you're going to win team fights like that.
Now, you want to go next level, get a tracer duo.
You'll win so many games.
I'm not even joking.
You get a tracer with you to go backline pressure, game over for them.
You get a Kiriko to deal with you, game over.
There's a lot of things that you can do.
So when you can, try to utilize that teammates.
I mean, try to utilize those teammates
as much as you possibly can, because if you do that,
then you can go and make these really, really cool plays
that you normally wouldn't be able to make elsewhere.
So, but I would say D.Va is definitely more
of a backline assassin now.
And keep in mind, it took me quite a bit to learn that
as I was always a peel first D.Va.
Nowadays, it's more a backline.
So there you go.
What am I talking about?
We're talking about D.Va right now.
doing like a mini Q&A diva guide.
OK.
Next up, how do you counter a Winston as diva?
I feel like I'm never sure what I am supposed
to be doing against him, so my indecisiveness
just makes you fall over.
Sure.
Step one to killing a Winston.
Are you ready, Chad?
Because a lot of people don't do this.
Kill the bubble, please.
I'm serious.
Every time you engage a Winston, it's
going to generally be a bubble is popped,
whether it's the Winston diving into you
or you dive into the Winston.
The problem is that everybody wants to kill the Winston
inside of the bubble, but now even more so, even more so,
with the bubble that heals, you're not gonna kill the Winston.
Yes, can you kill a Winston in bubble?
Of course, it's gonna happen.
And Winston's not gonna understand how to play the bubble.
You're gonna get kills.
But for the overall player base and the overall,
your value on D.Va will keep going up,
just break the damn bubble.
You wanted to talk about missiles, right?
You wanted to talk about missiles, break the bubble.
I'm telling you right now,
so many people just do not break the Winston bubble
and the bubble, it just Winston survives.
If you kill the bubble,
the Winston will eventually die there or get no value.
You're taking away all the value.
So that's how I counter Winston as Diva.
Another way to do this, if you wanna know another way,
is if you see the Winston dive in,
you flank from behind and do a bunch of damage
to the Winston.
Again, the bubble will probably be popped,
but now the Winston's in a really weird spot of,
Do I keep pushing in, or do I back away?
So they've done a really good job at making Winston versus D.Va.
I feel like an even matchup for the most part,
and I do believe that still is true.
I do think that D.Va is a better hero right now,
unfortunately for Winston, due to D.Va's ability
to be that backline assassin, and as well as just
adding defense matrix on top of that is like a double whammy.
But I do believe that Winston can still counterplay you
if you play into the Winston.
So remember, kill the bubble.
Also, another opportunity to chat.
The moment you see Winston with no armor,
another game over situation for that Winston.
Armor is so key against a D.Va initially
that once the armor is gone,
D.Va's value goes up tremendously.
So think about that too.
You see a Winston maybe at half HP,
maybe that's your opportunity instead of going
for the backline pressure to go kill the Winston
because there's no armor.
So remember that, but truthfully, please kill the bubble.
I'm telling you, your teammates will love you for it.
The bubble gets way more value than you think.
And sometimes when you don't get healed,
I'll kill on the Winston
you have that reaction of like, oh, why can't you?
Oh, heal me, please.
Hate to break it, see?
But there was a giant bubble in your face.
And your teammates can't help that.
Unless it's like a Mizuki who can heal through it.
OK, so that's what I would say for your matchup against Winston.
But definitely, just a little bit of a note,
pay attention for their actual jump.
If you can trail their jump, you're
going to have a good time against Winston anyway.
It's when they make the first move that
makes it a little bit more difficult.
Because at that point, they can run away.
Anyway, that's that one.
Whew, I'm doing my best to your chat.
I also don't want to lose my voice again.
OK, I already, I just did the perks one, Kyle.
OK, there you go.
How do you manage your defense matrix?
Like, when do you use it and when not to use it?
This one's an easy answer for me.
Burst damage, yes.
Chip damage, no.
So let me give you an example.
Yes, you're going to defense matrix in Sigma sometimes,
right?
You're going to do it.
But are you saying, do I just sit there and right click a Sigma?
No, it's chip damage, right?
At a certain point, the teammates need to understand,
cover that the heals will be enough to deal with that chip damage.
Burst damage, let me give you an example.
Bap pops a window, and there's a soldier behind it and a Bap.
You need to DM that.
There's going to be so much burst damage
that if you don't DM that, your teammates are dead.
So those are extreme examples, but a lot of defense matrix
is really about managing the burst,
and then occasionally dealing with the chip damage.
But if you expect your D.Va,
if you expect your D.Va to sit there and DM Sigma damage,
to DM a little bit of Echo damage on you the whole game,
your D.Va's gonna be out of mech,
no one's gonna have fun,
and you're gonna move a total of three feet.
So, Defense Matrix, deal with the burst,
use it for yourself a lot to get out.
I think a lot of D.Vas now are kinda using Defense Matrix
more as a self-peel, as much as I hate that now
because I used to love saving my teammates.
A lot of DM now is really about just dealing with burst damage
and then using it for yourself to get out of situations.
If you do that on D.Va, you're going to have a great time.
If you want to know how to manage it, tap it, learn how to.
A really easy way to practice DM is just tap it once
and learn how much damage you can absorb, right?
Like just tap it once, understand that, okay,
I just absorbed 60% of the damage there.
My teammates can survive and the rest of it.
Once you learn those numbers,
you're going to be like one of those D.Va's.
Eventually what's going to happen on D.Va
is if you're really good at defense matrix management,
people are gonna think you always have DM.
And when you have that, you have such good
like outplay potential that eventually they just,
they don't know what to do against you.
So if you wanna learn how to just hit the button once,
see what that does for damage,
that can also be helpful too.
It's defense matrix is very much on the fly ability,
but I think that's a really easy way to kind of ABC it,
to kind of give you like a beginner aspect to it.
As you get better at diva,
I think that playstyle is gonna expand.
And you're going to learn that it's more hero by hero and case by case.
And it is just like a general don't DM chip, don't DM burst.
But I think it's important to understand how much more important it is to
deal with burst and chip damage.
There we go.
Cool.
As a support behind one of those divas, what, what, what, what, what, what, what,
what kind of divas that X was maybe.
And so I'm just taking a second here.
So if we just got through that one pretty, pretty, pretty quickly.
This is fun.
I think it's going to end up being a good video.
OK.
OK, so I want the next one.
OK.
Oh, the one I described, never run out of DM.
Yes, those are good ones.
What video am I making?
This is like a mini diva guide.
I have one, two, two more regular questions here,
and then I'll start letting chat come up with a few more
that I think would be utilized well for this video, okay?
I'm not gonna play some D.Va today,
so to give everybody an idea
why I'm not playing many games today,
we're currently in a Blizzard.
It's a very intense Blizzard here.
Like to give you an idea,
we're getting like 75 mile per hour Windsor I'm at.
Currently, my whole town has no power,
but because I'm on a generator, I have power,
So I'm not trying to overdo it either.
So I don't want to run into an issue with like, oh,
my generator hacks up and now I'm just
my DC in the middle of a game.
So yeah, that's where I'm currently at right now.
That's why I'm doing more recording stuff right now.
And yeah, there'll be gameplay over the video.
Keep in mind that all the B-roll footage comes after.
Yes, there'll be B-roll footage, all of that.
Yep, to give you an idea chat, you know the tier list
I recorded?
Right now, that tier list?
Right now, that tier list is going to have, I'm not even joking, 50 clips of B roll footage.
My editor's gone through right now.
My editor's gone through and added B roll footage to every single hero that I've talked about during the tier list.
So the tier list is going to be, it shows you what they're at, like what their rating is, like B, and then it's me talking about it, and then it's all B roll footage.
Rather than just being like a screen with like the tier maker.
It's almost done.
I'm from Massachusetts to that question.
So that's why I'm getting a big part of the storm.
So he said I'm a hero of this.
I see what you did there, Flufius.
I get it.
I see what you did there.
Kayla Rose, thanks for the three months of the prime.
So thank you, Kayla Rose.
OK, let's continue on with this question chat.
I was just kind of giving people a rundown
on what's going on right now with that.
Yeah.
And more into you, too.
You want to boss the next weekend, any place you should make sure to visit?
I don't even know when Boston, to be honest with you.
I'm from Massachusetts, I barely go to Boston.
Although I'll be at Boston for PAX East.
I'm excited for that, I like PAX East.
It's always a fun time.
But I don't have a direct spot for you on what to do there.
I'm sorry.
OK, next up, Jay, you ready?
Here we go.
This is a good one.
How to vaude review your own games?
Of course, getting a high-ranked player, like me,
is preferred.
However, that isn't an option for most people,
so it'd be useful to have a guide
on how to review your own games.
Sure.
This one is, I always get this advice,
because reviewing your own games is definitely tough,
because sometimes you also need an outside perspective.
That's why coaches can be important for teams.
So if you can't get an outside perspective
of what you're doing wrong and not understanding
what you can do wrong, I always say fall
to the first thing that I think every player can always improve on, whether you're in bronze
or you're in top 500, OWCS, etc. Positioning. That's simple. You've heard me say that word
a billion times already, right? You've heard me say that word a billion times about positioning.
That is where we're at, right? It's always going to be the number one thing that you
can improve on no matter what at any rank, right? Aim to all that. Point I'm making here
is, if you don't know, then you're going to go, hey,
how do I fix that?
Go to the, go to the VODs, find a game where you have a lot
of deaths, you don't know why you were dying.
Watch it from the other team's point of view
and things will open up for you.
You're going to go, holy crap, what am I doing?
Wait, why am I there?
Why did I out there?
Dude, what am I doing?
And when you watch VODs back from the other perspective,
you got, you start to see how players beat you.
You're like, holy crap, this player is,
these players are dominating me.
Like, wow, I didn't realize I'm sitting in the middle of the open.
I didn't realize I just popped a fleck there in front
of a Cassidy for no reason, what am I doing?
And the more that you do that,
the more you'll start to be able to pick up on things
that can help your game play,
even more so than a general review.
But that's where it starts.
I really think if you don't know where to start,
watch it from the other team's point of view.
I'm telling you, you start to realize,
like holy crap, there's so much more I can learn.
Hey, you know what, you're playing Sigma,
you go up against the Sigma, the Sigma dominates you.
You know what?
I have no problem going back and going,
What did this thing do better than me?
You watch that thing this point, if you go, holy crap,
I never knew you could put your shield like this.
I never knew, wow, I could use my rock more.
Wait, I can do this.
And when you start to learn that way,
then you can review yourself,
because now you know what to look for,
and it becomes a lot easier.
And that's kind of how I would say to start.
And then after that, you can go from there,
if you end up on a team one day,
having coaches can be helpful, but that's where you start.
You start with that, you're gonna end up
in a much better spot of understanding what to look for,
And then you can learn from all of those mistakes over time.
All right, I got one more here on the set of questions
I took from YouTube, and then we'll
see what we have left that I think can be answered from chat.
Does that sound good?
Eventually, this will be a video chat.
Might not be a couple of weeks, but it will be a video.
OK, here we go.
Next up.
When anti-dash-c seed, is it better to immediately fly back
to your team or to commit to the kills?
Oh, this one's a tough one.
If I'm anti or CC'd, if I have a free kill in a Zenyatta,
I'm taking that free kill regardless, right?
Because I still have baby D.Va at that point.
This is a very tough question, because how close is your team?
If my team is really close, of course,
I'm going to fly back to my team because I
can defense matrix my way out, right?
If I get hindered, I can defense matrix my way out.
I'll give you an example, though.
In Tog, thanks for the 38 months,
let's say that you're D.Va on second point, King's Row, right?
I'm going to make sure it's down low.
OK, we're good.
Let's say that you're on second point, King's Row, right?
And you're sitting there, and you go a little bit further up.
Am I going to tell you to fly back to your teammates
at the first point choke where you first entry the cart?
Or if you're a little bit too far away from your team,
is it better to fly to the mega health pack right
in front of you?
Well, of course, I'd rather have you go for the health pack,
because then you can just kind of defense your way out
with your defense matrix and then fly all the way back around
and you're back to safety.
So I think the number one thing to look for
is the distance to a health pack,
the distance to your team,
and then how close is that person that you're killing, right?
What was the goal when you went into their back line?
If the goal was to get Zenyatta ultimate out,
then you might as well commit your suit
at that point to get the alt out, right?
If your goal was to kill a brig
and you're gonna kill the brig,
if you stay there, then you're gonna kill the brig.
But a lot of it's gonna be just recognizing
where health packs are at, recognizing where your team's at,
and then making a really quick decision.
A lot of the time you can survive out,
but that second guessing is what's
going to get you killed on Diva.
So the most important advice here,
just make it a decisive decision.
Don't even overthink it.
Health packs nearby, go to the health pack.
Teammates are closer, go to the teammates.
Just don't overthink it.
Because if you overthink it, then
you're going to end up just having
an extra second of process in that decision,
and that's how you get DMACC right away.
Steve is a very quick decision hero.
So there you go.
I hope that's helpful on that one.
That's a tougher question because
there's so many like variables that can happen.
Like you could get hindered a hundred times in a game,
but every single one's a different scenario.
So hope that's helpful.
Okay.
So Chad, that's the ones I took from the YouTube questions
when I looked at like a few weeks ago.
Those are the ones I gathered.
Next up would be, well, the storm all bow.
I'm like I said, I'm surprised I'm even on right now.
Thankfully a generator's working.
So I hope that was helpful information
for everybody here because I'm now the next question is I'm gonna take a few
questions from chat that I see no guarantee on how many I take question
wise keep that in mind but I probably will end up taking a good amount of
these we're not a good amount but enough to where I'm happy with it okay oh oh
in my oh Bo we have I think my whole town has no power right now so you an
idea actually let me text my dad he lives nearby but you don't have a
generator.
There's the ad.
For Massachusetts, I mean, I get recognized occasionally, but not all the time.
So...
Yeah.
Also, Boa, thanks for the 46 months of the prime.
So thank you for your thank you.
I'm more coastal, so I'm feeling the winds too.
to. Okay, um, all right, chat. So I put those questions in there now. Sorry. I was just doing that.
Um, I'm just gonna, I'm gonna be stopping in scroll. So if I don't say your, your question
right now, it's because I'm just, I'm just like scrolling through. Okay, so like, for example,
questions I won't be answering for this guide is what if you can't climb from bad teammates?
That is not a question that can be answered through a diva guide. Well,
Well, I guess it could be, but that's what the Diva Guide does.
But I would focus more on what you can control.
Melodic, thanks for the 67 months or the 68 months of the tier one.
Thank you.
I appreciate it.
I don't know if my TTS may pause for a second.
Yeah, because I'm doing the recording.
Thank you.
I appreciate it, Melodic.
Always very kind.
What advice can you give to a new person with that position?
I'll get to that as quick as I can, but I would say,
understand in your counters, understand
in the mechanics of a hero you're learning.
understanding like how to play cover I know that's positioning but like that
also is helpful ability use is a lot there but I have a lot of videos in
that stuff okay um are you near those okay that's not that what perks are
better for defending attack I kind of answered the per question already there's
no that doesn't matter for attack or defend in my opinion I think it's the
same answer good comps for his bad comps to play okay what are good comps for his
bad comps to play diva into anything that can so that's a good question and I'm
going to get too deep into this answer because I think it can be a lot involved here. But Diva will
definitely struggle against comps that can basically CC chain you. So like, let's say that I go to
the back line and they're running a comp that you probably won't see a lot of, but like Brigitte
Mizuki, I don't want to run Diva in that situation because it's probably running with like a Sigma or
something or a Domina. You're not going to have a good time. So I want, generally when I'm on Diva,
I kind of look at the back line. If their back line is not set to be able to deal with the Diva
Even a Kirikou Lucio can struggle against that comp, then you're probably fine.
If they're running like a Mizuki or a Brig at the same time and they have a Symmetra and they're running Azaria and you're playing Esperanza,
yes, you can fly around them and try to make plays, but you're probably going to struggle a little bit more.
So I would say look more at the core of what the team is running than looking at one singular hero.
Honest take, I have no problem playing against Azaria's D.Va.
Sometimes I get annoyed playing against Azaria's D.Va and don't want to have to do the extra level of like
Gameplay you need to do to make it work
But I have no problem playing a D.Va against Azaria because all it is is time and bubbles and counting them
But if they have Azaria, a Sim, a Mei, a Mizuki and an Ana
Probably not gonna have a good time. Well, actually you could have a good time because you can let me give you a different example
Akiriko or a break, you know
Something where every one of them can self-sustain.
There's a lot of things to worry about.
You're not going to have a good time.
So think about that more of the core of what they're running
than the individual hero of what they're running.
And that could be helpful.
OK.
You said shout out to Market Basket.
Is Market Basket open?
Or are you just saying Market Basket
because they're Massachusetts?
Sorry, I can't help you with the question on the Diva,
on your PC. Okay, first of all, would it be healthy for the game to bring more Divas into the game? Hot take.
Diva can deal with some of the, some of the, this is going to be a hot take because if you don't play Diva, you won't see it as much.
But Diva can really keep some heroes at bay that otherwise take over games. I'm just pointing that part out.
Like Diva is like almost like a necessary evil sometimes for like some hitscans. Otherwise, like you would just want to not be able to play the game.
play the game.
You're a mess who's doing the coming down there.
Yeah, oh, it's crazy right now, 100%.
Okay, anyway, let's continue on here.
I got you, Melanik, again, thank you.
What are good support heroes to play when you have a D.Va?
Anything, I don't know.
Honestly, I don't even...
But, well, you can play very much anything with a D.Va.
D.Va should be more self-sufficient.
Can D.Va eat the shot from Domina or is the whole damage a beam?
You can't eat the beam damage, you can eat the shot.
Pretty simple there.
So when the Domina is holding the beam on you, cannot eat that.
When the shot goes off at the end of like one of the 10 bullets, you can eat that.
Do I hate playing Echo versus D.Va?
This goes back to the initial question with Echo versus D.Va.
Remember it's all about just like positioning and what they're doing.
Do I like playing against the spam of Echo?
Absolutely not.
Truthfully, and some people may not
want to hear this with Echo versus D.Va,
you can't eat all of the Echo damage.
In fact, the only thing you should really
be looking to eat on the Echo is the stickies.
Straight up.
Because if you DM all the other poke damage,
you're just so consistent that you can't really do much.
It's kind of the same thing with Pharah,
where it's really hard to be able to DM all of Pharah's shots.
You have to pick and choose.
With Echo, you have to just DM the stickies.
Otherwise, you're just going to waste your time most of the time.
So just want to point that out.
With D.Va, that matchup isn't my favorite,
but it is a feasible matchup.
And if you get close to the Echo,
you can pretty much win that duel
if they don't have their flight cooldown.
Okay, what heroes do I find best to play together when I'm?
What heroes do you find best to play together
when you're D.Va?
Tracer, Tracer D.Va backline pressure.
I'm going to leave it at that.
Flanker they can get with the diva to go into the back line will will generally give you good results
I know it sounds weird because it never used to be that way
But I I could again G a tracer a Kiriko an echo a Farrah
Anybody who can get back line pressure with me is gonna have a good time. So all right once I get a time a four-year-old out on YouTube
Chad they just discovered their buttons here. There you go. All right. That was easy. All right
next up here
You see that's market basket. It truly is
And again, if I skip your question chat, it's because I don't want to overfill this video
either, so I'm just giving a few here that I can do.
A lot of times, you run in the risk, you run in the risk down as D.Va, oh, you can easily
do that.
Do you think Jetpack Cat is viable to play into D.Va?
Yes.
D.Va, you have way more momentum than D.Va, you'll be fine against D.Va.
Just don't play close to a D.Va.
D.Va flies at you, you're like 10 times faster.
I agree with you on it on the heel becoming a perk. I agree with you on that one on that is
Bomb only used as a second life. Do you ever use it aggressively like Winston or doom sometimes can do?
Yes, I am a actually I'm probably one of the more aggressive diva altars
You'll see I this goes back to what I've talked about if I see a movement cooldown used I pop my ultimate
It was actually funny. There was a
Remember when we did team overwashed a couple of years ago?
Spylo, when we were doing the reviews, he goes,
I don't get how you do it.
He goes, I watch pro play all the time.
I watch open division.
I watch all this stuff.
How are you getting kills with Devo?
Like, and all I do is I just look for timings.
Cause like, it's really hard to get Devo.
It kills even in matches, even in like open division, right?
Because it's just hard to get that value.
But what I look for is I look for cooldowns.
I'm always paying attention to what else has happened
on the field.
So like, let's say that I'm looking at somebody
directly in front of me.
I'm also paying attention to the person top right.
I'm also seeing the Suzu go and hit a wall, right?
I'm also seeing a Genji pop to flex.
So when I sit there and see all that,
that's when I make those quick decisions.
Oh, Winston just use bubble and use jump in.
D-Vol, what's the Winston gonna do?
At the very worst, I get a cleanse out.
So I like to use them a bit more proactively,
but to your question,
when should you use it for like a second life?
Backline pressure.
I know that I have my D-Vol,
and I'm killing this brig in the backline.
I'm hitting that ultimate, right?
Little bit of a caveat to that.
If the brick has ultimate, you gotta be safe with that play
because that'll be the brick with pop ultimate.
Stun you, put the shield up,
like put the shield up for the diva bomb,
stun you and put the shield back up
and you can't do anything.
So be careful on some of the plays.
But for the most part, I'm gonna commit for that,
like use that second life with the diva ultimate.
A lot of people in pro play use it for that
because it's really hard to get those kills.
But I would say definitely think about what they have.
I'll second counter you.
But if you're gonna, for the most part,
75% of the time probably a second life
I am very much on the 30 to 40 percent about where I use the alt so it's more like 60 percent
But I would say my my my diva play style isn't if you're trying to be like be a pro player
You're probably not gonna diva all as much as I do if you're playing ranked. I think it's okay to diva alt as much as I do
You're trying to get better at diva any tips. Well, that's what we're working on right now. Mr. Films
We're working on a mini guide
So also, let me read this question here very quickly from artist this this nice comment you made sorry
He said hi. I always made you laugh
Well, I'm super sorry to hear that about your your mom. I can't even begin to understand how difficult that is
But know that you got this it will get better
And I'm sure your mom was an awesome person and she'll always be a part of your life in some way
So again sometimes words can only go so far and being able to
Words can only go so far and being able to give you you know
You know what I mean like it but
You got this. Sorry about your mom and things will continue to get better and like I said, she'll always be a part of your part of your life in some way, even if it's not, you know, directly there. Okay.
Anyway, let's continue on chat.
Um,
I hear we're spoken about diva movement tech flight control a little bit.
Very diva skin. I don't really have a fair diva skin Ruby. So I guess you can judge that I'm very weird with that one.
I'm not going to do the Domino one, sorry, that's a good question though.
I'm not going to put this in the VOD, but if someone is near the edge and you can try
to move them off, why not?
It's a much more difficult play with the knockbacks.
Let's go.
Sorry, I'm just going to catch up on some stuff.
I missed anything.
I'll let you know.
Who's ult do you find the easiest to prevent with defense matrix?
The easiest character to, I mean, I can, hmm.
Tracer, probably Tracer.
I don't know what it is, but like eating pulse bombs for me.
I guess Pharah, yeah, Pharah's pretty easy to,
Pharah though, I will say Pharah ultimate is a, no, no, no.
Ayari is tough, let me explain this one.
Ayari ultimate is tough to eat because sometimes you don't have enough defense matrix to be able to deal with the
You don't have enough defense matrix. So it's a very like game of chicken with Ayari
I do agree that Ayari ultimate is easy to eat
But sometimes if you get stuck in that game of chicken or they use the mobility with that perk it can be a little bit more difficult
Hanzo is easy to eat if they're directly in front of you because it has a little bit of travel time, but I think I think
Probably, yeah, probably Tracer Pulse Bomb, because it's really easy to predict when they have one, and when I'm looking for it, you just look for their blanks, it's very obvious to see them go in for it.
Pharah's easy, but if you're not well timed with the Pharah ultimate, it can still kill somebody in that burst, and obviously a trade to trade, you'll take that any day of the week.
Also in Suppy, thank you for the prime sub, thank you, appreciate it.
The Reaper ultimate, yes, easy to eat, just make sure you're in range, but I would say Tracer for me.
Yeah, I would say Tracer.
So you say Soldier, Soldier can out sprint you sometimes, and I think a lot of the heroes now can peel better for Soldier.
So yes, it's easy to eat a Soldier ultimate, but I still can find kills between a defense matrix.
So again, that's just going to be player preference.
I'm very much like I count chat. I count blanks sometimes.
I legitimately count blinks to give you an idea.
So like, there's things that I'll do on Diva
that I might even tell them people to do.
It's just something that I do, right?
So, high noon, high noon is tougher to eat
because it has a chain.
So like, if you're directly eating it,
it can still kind of like go left or right,
which could cause some problems.
But it still doesn't go well.
Can you pick someone up who's sleeping
or frozen at Jetpack Cat?
I don't know.
I haven't tested it.
Karku told me he's doing a Mythbusters with all five heroes.
So like, I think some of those will be answered soon.
Is D.Va,
D.Vin Sadian versus D.Vin Stannin.
A little bit different, yes, but kind of the same concept.
Also, I will add this note to the video.
People asked me about 66 D.Va.
In 66, you're definitely less of a backline assassin
and more of that team-first type of D.Va
that you played from Overwatch 1.
So I would say be wary of the backline pressure as much on Diva and more about help
when your team, I would say it kind of goes 60-40 now in favor of help when your team.
The other 40% is definitely backline pressure for sure.
But I do think it changes a little bit in 66 versus 5v5 with Diva.
Because the extra tank really takes away a lot of the pressure Diva would normally have.
So that less pressure gives you more opportunity to help save your teammates
and kind of see the vision of the field.
So I just want to point that out.
I do think the 6v6 Diva plays a little bit differently from the 5v5 Diva.
More peel doesn't mean you can't be aggressive, but you have less HP so you don't have that same survivability in the back line
So it's a lot easier to get DMACC. So it's definitely well timed. I would say more like 60 40
Okay, um, there we go chat I
Think I'm gonna leave it at that for now, okay
5v5 by the way, skull it I think I'm gonna leave it at that now for the diva guide
We'll see where we're at once this starts to get edited and then I'll if I need more questions
I will add more after okay. Does that sound good?
Yeah, and less DM to
Alright, I think I'm gonna I'm gonna go with that for now
We'll see where it looks like after that's edited and if I need to add more to it again
These are supposed to be kind of Q&A guides rather than everything you need to know
I'm gonna add it keep in mind
I will at the beginning of the video add like what the abilities do
I do think that it's important if I'm going to market it as a guide or like say it's a guide at least add what the
Abilities do and how to use them, but that will be something I do for that video kind of off stream or whatever
But that that's like that's gonna take me like two minutes
The rest will be you know all the questions and we'll put them in an order that we feel is necessary
So but anyway, there you go. We're gonna leave it at that again chat
I want to do more of these but I'm gonna see how the diva guide does when it's out in a couple of weeks if it does
is if it ever greens to even like a seven out of 10 video,
I'm okay with that and I'll start to do more.
If it does even better,
then you'll see more of these even more.
But let's see how it does.
Sometimes videos sound like cool ideas,
they don't do well.
Sometimes videos sound like they're not gonna do well
and they end up doing amazing.
So, again, I will not promise it yet,
but let's see how it does
and then I will go from there, okay?
Does that sound good?
You spent last night watching YouTube videos
of new players reacting to Overwatch cinematics.
Guess what they were saying like every other video.
They should do more of those?
I don't know.
What is my favorite part about being a streamer?
I mean, I wanna go that deep.
Growing up, I always wanted to entertain people
and I always found happiness through making people happy
in ways that, you know,
to the point where I needed to find a healthy outlet
that and streaming does that for me. I can make people happy. I can entertain people.
I can know I have a positive impact on people's days and that's the fun part of streaming for me.
Now don't get me wrong, being where I'm at as a streamer now, it feels great. I'm not going to ever
be s about that either. Obviously, we've had very awesome streams and I'm very lucky to be able to
do what I do. Y'all enabled me to, you know, I mean, do things, you know, live where I'm at,
right? Things that I never thought would be possible. But that's the part I like about streaming
And I know that kind of sounds like a very like PC answer to it, but that's just the truth man. That's why that's what I like about streaming
Like yeah, there's money and all that stuff like I
Always just wanted to entertain people and it was something I always wanted to do
Because like it was just something I loved it was just anytime you get somebody to laugh. It was like dude. That's awesome, right?
So finding a healthy outlook for that through streaming is really good for me. So that's why I like about it
That's it pretty straightforward. Plus I get to play video games all day long which I love video games
So I mean obviously that's a big part of it. So, you know, I mean, I'm I'm not gonna
I'm not gonna BS about the the other aspects of they're really cool set in my own schedule. Obviously, you know
Very lucky to be able to you know, make what I make with it all that stuff
You know being able to just like I said play video games do what I want to do all that stuff is great also like today
Pretty weird day because I'm running on a generator
I got to put a stream on and just hang out with chat for hours
You know I get to experience things that I never thought I would experience so that that's what I like about
I mean, it's a pretty deep answer to it because like I think everybody will have their different reasons for streaming so
That's mine so teach their own
And I always try to improve that's another thing I always like to do with streaming and life is
Always trying to improve the next day
There's always things I can work on things that get better at things
I'm not as good at things I need to learn things I need to understand things and to be bet just in general
I always try to adapt that mentality to anything I do
Anyway, there you go. That's my little talk on that one. So there you go
Hope that was helpful
My dad said that his power has been going in and out for three hours and the internet
doesn't work.
So my generators working perfectly.
I guess the internet keeps going out.
So whenever they did to my house, when they installed all this stuff, they did everything
right.
Because they basically marketed it to me like even when the power's out, the internet is
plugged into my house a way that they don't normally do, and I should be fine.
And so far, everything's fine, because my dad and I are on the same internet right now.
So whatever's going on is going right.
Hi, buddy.
Hi, little guy.
I don't know what we use in from this, but it's pretty good.
Hi, buddy.
Am I all underground cables right now?
Yeah.
Yep.
Yes, they were worth.
Yes.
Well, I have a whole like server room too,
which is where everything plugs into.
Like I have like a server room with like a,
it's not like a server room, but it's like a,
what are those things you put a bunch of server boxes in?
What are those called?
A rack, yes, we have a rack.
Yeah, yeah, there we go, a server rack.
Cause my whole house has like this whole like electrical
thing down the top of the lights or the way they are.
That's how I use my phone to like control all the stuff.
So like they, they have everything plugged into the app
and I guess that makes everything work perfectly.
So, yeah.
I don't even know what's in there.
It's just a bunch of wires and a bunch of like,
a bunch of like these things there.
I don't know how they work, but they've been working
so I have no complaints.
Oh, that's good, that's staying on.
How do I feel about the Overwatch was talented?
I like it.
I think just adding a little bit of fun,
like banter between people and that stuff.
I think the Talon vs. Overwatch aspect is just a really fun banter, in my opinion.
It's not bad, it just adds a fun aspect to it. You get rewards for doing it.
I think they should do more events in the future. I think it's a cool concept.
I think they should... I would like to see them add another layer to it.
Before you ask, what's that layer? I have no clue.
I just think eventually I don't want people to get fatigue from these events.
So I would like them to add an extra layer to it in some form.
Um, what that may be, I don't know, uh, but I do think like an extra layer to it, uh, would be nice. But again, that's just, that's a small note as long as people don't get fatigued by it. I'm okay with that.
Hi buddy. Oh, you're all excited little guy, huh? Yeah. Hi.
Are you happy to get back to the chair in here? You love that chair.
That's buddy.
I love you.
You're actually trying to play and watch, but power keeps flashing and out causing you to lose internet. I'm sorry.
How do I keep my internet? They have everything on, I mean, installed under the ground and they have a direct, the internet directly connects to whatever server box they use in here rather than, you know, they usually do it to a modem.
to a modem.
Basically all they did was they said,
they had my internet company just put the stuff there
and they said they'll do the rest.
So like the modem that you normally have is not active
and they have like the actual like fiber plugged
into something.
I don't know how, I have no idea how it works.
Like I said, the people I worked with
are like advanced electrician.
Like I said, my whole house is controlled
by like an app half the time.
Like it's, so like, they did some stuff
that I don't even quite understand,
but it's nice to have for sure.
Yep.
Yeah, it's nice to have.
And again, Chad, the reason why I'm not playing
is because due to the storm,
I'm not trying to ruin my teammates' games in ranks.
So I'm just kind of, yeah, compared to a smart house.
Yeah, I missed a gamber, exactly.
Yeah, essentially a smart house, yes.
Yep.
Yeah, and again, well, I definitely am on fiber
to that one gamer family, dad.
I just don't know what they did after.
It got, after they could plug in there, so.
Yep.
Did rip your back from so much shoveling, I bet.
I bet.
That might be a little bit too tough to do Empire on that one.
At least on stream.
But they do a very good job in Massachusetts.
They work at some crazy houses.
This is the island that they were doing a house on.
Like, is it called Block Island?
And is it Block Island sound right?
Is that the name of the island?
What's the island like off of the coast here that's,
they would either work on my house
or they would have to go and do a,
they would have to travel to Block Island.
Block Island to work on some like
billionaires house out there or something, something crazy.
They were working on like some billionaires house
on Block Island.
It's like, it's like, I was like, holy crap.
So either they were working here doing this stuff
They'd have to go and take a boat every single day
over to work on it.
And it's usually a little bit longer or so.
Sounds like a super marlaby.
I think it's a near Rhode Island.
I don't even know.
Block Island.
I might think of the wrong spot.
Yeah, it is just south of mainland Rhode Island.
And it's like, it's just every house there's $10 million.
It's like crazy.
Yep.
Yeah, my dad says Rhode Island, yeah, yeah.
What is my feelings on the UI menu?
I actually don't mind it.
It took me a little bit to get used to it.
Obviously, there's a couple of things
they could fix and adjust to it.
But yeah, I mean, I don't think the old-school aspect of it
is getting to me on that one for sure.
You have an island near you.
The cheapest house is $14 million.
Oh, that's it?
Wow, what a steal.
What kind of vehicle do I drive?
A Herman Miller M-Body.
Because I don't really drive anywhere right now.
We're only running one car, so got our Subaru Forester.
I'm eventually going to get an electric car.
But right now, we're currently chilling until.
I have all the outlets for it, but when I move,
I didn't really want to like, truthfully,
I didn't want to just have a, basically, look at this way.
Our garage right now has one car in it, and it barely fits.
OK?
So the point I'm making is we need to clear our garage out
before I can start parking my stuff in there.
Yeah.
No, I have a driveway, but I don't
want to have it out in the driveway during storms
like this, for example, because they clear my driveway.
I know it's a niche issue.
I have a long driveway, too, but I
don't want to have it be an issue,
and I don't want to go clean my garage yet.
So I'm just going to wait until I'm ready to get a car,
probably this summer, maybe.
We'll see how I feel.
I might even just wait.
I don't go many places, and we just
use Lonnie's Forester anyway.
But I figured I'd wait until the winner,
because I truthfully trying to clean in that garage right now.
My thinking of playing any single-player games,
as of right now, Chat.
And hopefully, y'all will join me.
Doesn't have to be.
Obviously, I know some people won't.
Resident Evil this weekend.
No, Lonnie's car is inside right now.
We have one spot for Lonnie's car.
Resident Evil this weekend.
I think I have to chat.
I think I have to.
I love Resident Evil games,
so I'm thinking we'll do some overwatching
to Resident Evil this week
and just trying to beat it in one go.
When is it?
Let me see, when is Resident Evil 9 release?
Resident Evil 9.
The 27th, so technically Friday.
So maybe we'll do it Friday and Saturday or something.
I just want to beat that game.
We're in a slight downtime.
here waiting for the next patch at the same time, not really.
I think that's what I'm going to do.
Well, no, I want to get a new car until I clear out the garage.
Oh, it's three car rinse.
No, it's good.
No, no, no, no, no.
There's more than one car slot.
The point is that the rest of the garage
is filled with boxes from our move that we haven't touched.
That's the point.
Yeah, yeah, yeah.
We'd be able to fit the cars in there.
We just don't.
There's only room for one.
So my in Boston, I'm not directly in Boston.
I'm in Massachusetts.
So yes, very stormy.
Very stormy here.
Overwatch has been so fun this season, man.
And it makes you so happy that you enjoy Overwatch
again after a year or so break.
I would say that Overwatch has sustained players
the past couple of weeks.
It's been very nice.
And I think it's going to continue that way.
Am I going to get the new James Bond game?
I would like to try it.
When does that come out?
The below seven game, 2026.
May 27th?
Yeah, that's a few months away.
I won't promise it, but I've heard those games can be really fun.
So I probably will look into that later on.
You have a tiny garage.
You could really fit one car in it,
but it's just filled with broken down cardboard boxes.
Yeah, I know what you're talking about, Bowie.
Yeah, yeah, yeah.
was my address. Sure. All right, chat. Listen, I've always
promised I'm going to sit here and be entertaining before
anything else. So I won't be able to play as much right now due
to the the power outage that I'm currently in. Hopefully they
have it fixed by tomorrow. So I'm not running on the generator
anymore. And I can just do a normal full day. But I think we're
gonna leave it as is. I know it's a short day to give you an
idea. I have a meeting at 130 anyway. So I was only going for
max two more hours. But I'd rather than, you know, I'm happy with today's stream. We got some really
good videos done. I got to hang out. I didn't get a forced day off. I mean, like I said,
if the generator wasn't working, I wouldn't be able to stream today. So I'm very glad to have that
working. I'm going to now go bundle up. I'm going to go outside and clear some things around that
I need to clear. Good luck to me. It is a blizzard outside. So I'm going to go do that. And then
And I should be on tomorrow, no problem, okay?
I will raid Beaver so y'all can continue
to get your drops, all that.
Apologies again, I know I had two days off
and now I have to hop off a little bit earlier
than I would like.
Obviously I love my 10 hour days,
but I also don't wanna risk it with the generator
just in case it goes out for a long period of time.
So thank you everybody for all the love.
I really appreciate y'all so, so much.
Amazing stream today, we got to hang out,
do some guides, do some good spectators,
do basically a non-gameplay day.
and I had thousands of people in here again,
which is, it's become the new norm
because I'm not,
because I'm not even going to back scream into the game.
It's, yo, she is screaming at the game.
It's becoming a new norm, which is crazy.
Cause like now we're kind of past that initial burst
of drops too.
So to see what it's been like has been, you heard her?
Yeah, yeah.
She's playing the, I think Pokemon Arceus cactus.
Thank you for the 50 months of the tier one.
Thank you. I appreciate it.
She's in the back. She's in the back to scream. Oh, yeah. She's still yelling.
Yeah, you got this. You can you can you can win. But anyway, thank you, everybody,
for all the love. Do me a favor. Hit the follow button if you haven't.
Thank you for all of all the subs, all the bits. If you're on YouTube, like the stream,
remember, there'll be videos out today. I think it might even be the tier list.
Unreal day, unbelievable day in general. I really appreciate all so much.
It means the world to me. These dreams have been awesome. And tomorrow,
hopefully we get a full day in. Okay. Does that sound good? So hopefully tomorrow will be a full day.
My rice.
Alright chat.
Here's my question.
Will I see you tomorrow chat?
Will I see you tomorrow?
I'm sorry for the short stream again.
With the power being out, I don't want to risk it.
And heck yeah chat.
Heck yeah chat, that's what we like to see.
That's what we like to see.
Thank you again for all the love.
I hope you all have an amazing day or night wherever you're from.
And I will...
See you tomorrow.
See you later. Peace.
I'm losing myself, my heart's gone, oh, there, oh, there
So I'm running in the night sky
This feels like a lifetime, I'm living with you
Someday, things will turn out better
We could be together
We can do it together Underneath the stars
Underneath the stars, I see you, I see forever
And when I'm with you, we could go wherever
It's crazy, I don't feel the pressure
So take me with you, wanna do another adventure
Stop light running in the night sky
This feels like a life-size moment between
All day, things get to the end
We could be together
We could be together
Underneath the stars
This is how it starts
On the bridge
On fake things we turn and I fail
We could be together
We could be together
Underneath the stars
