Can A Rank 1 Support Win In BRONZE with 0 HEALING in Overwatch 2?! 

imagine just queuing into a ranked game at bronze, and this random support just drops 30k damage on your head

Why isn’t anyone talking about how he had 74 kills with bap 😂😂

'Guys, I see a new Mercy guide, trust me.' that one killed me, well done Awkward, thanks for reminding people that support is not healer.

“Healers are supposed to heal” well damage players are supposed to do damage but they ain’t 🤷‍♀️

I used to be mad at people picking off meta heroes / not doing a good job. After I saw your guides my mindset changed to "if I'm losing games, it's entirely my fault for not carrying, and until I do I don't deserve a higher rank". After that I started winning a lot by fixing my mistakes.

“I healed by accident” - Moira players

you should do another with only healing to show how much worse it feels

i really like seeing your mental through these games. often the hardest part is not letting my teammates tilt me. its also really funny that they think they won despite their battle mercy, not because of you

“This is my 4th game of overwatch” Completely forgets that you need to win 50 games before you can play comp

I'd like to see the opposite video too, where you only heal as a support. Because that's the other excuse: "my healing is useless because my teammates are stupid, nothing I do as support matters". Maybe show how smart heals can swing the tempo of games in your favor even if your teammates are low rank.

Insane how you are very obviously carrying them and they just whine you aren't heal botting them so they can miss all their shots and lose lol

Crazy that people flame and report you when your team is stomping. Even in diamond, I get yelled at for not heal botting as an Ana main, but since I've started prioritizing damage I've climbed from gold to diamond with a 60%+ win rate. It really works.

I just realized that in the Kiriko game, the enemy Mercy/Moira player who said “bro go heal your team” only did 900 more healing than Awkward did with Suzus and passive healing only.

"Proving" by being a GM player farming bronze players. Ok then let me prove thag you don't need a goalkeeper to win in football. To do that I am going to roll a team of schoolchildren and I we are only the Argentinian national team.

In the junker town match, it's so funny that the other support decided to go Lúcio even though everyone was complaining about you not healing lmao

Challenge: Do the same thing but heals only, no damage.

"Everything that you learn in the game is improving your ability to learn everything in life" This is beautiful man

I love Awkward so much, his content is pure fire the mindset is top tier and his explinations on vods are clear cut. 10/10 the content we've always needed.

its shocking how despite the picks awkward got and wiped half of their team out they still complained about healing even though at most the enemy dps output was zero cause half of them are dead this shows they really do deserve the bronze rank

I know its really a long shot, but I'd love for Blizzard to create a metric for player impact in the game, to shut down false reports. Awkward got reported so many times, and for what? Not conforming to their expectations? He was doubling or tripling the DPS in damage AND eliminations. The delusion you would have to be, to get mad at being carried just blows my mind.

The fact dps players are so braindead that their supports will be carrying and they’ll be like “we dont have enough heals” LMAO

74 elims and 27k damage as support alone proves the broze gap lmfao

Just to remind you, self healing counts as healing on the scoreboard. Due to support’s passive, you heal automatically

One of my favorite things Seagull said is that if you wanna get better and climb, you have to take full responsibility. Your team isn’t the reason you can’t climb, not your heals, tank, dps, anything. If you wanna climb, you have to realize, you are the reason that you’re losing, and you alone.

Going where no support has gone before 💅🏻

You’re making the overwatch community a better place by teaching them the value of self determination.

Honestly super impressed by your displine to not just play the game normally out of habit, amazing video this is the type of overwatch content that more people need to see!

The toxicity despite winning is frankly hilarious

i think the complaints about not healing are part of the "default" problem in low ranks. everyone has this conception of how the game is "supposed" to be played. Like that every fight should happen on the cart every time," or that "healers are supposed to heal," etc. They get upset with people they see who don't do these things. But in actuality, they don't understand how the game actually works, so they don't understand why things are happening. This is why low ranked players think Orisa is OP, because they're all shooting at the Orisa and ignoring the two supports keeping the Orisa alive. So Orisa feels really OP when really its their fault for not killing the supports the Orisa needs to stay alive.

i watched the vod for the stream! insane content awkward im glad i discovered you, ow2 needs more personalities like u imo!

I loved this so much, the battle Mercy was my favorite 😂 “MERCY FINAL WARNING” 💀

I got yelled at in a game yesterday because I was "doing too much damage as ana which means I was not healing enough." Even though we won he kept yelling at me. thanks for the videos!

"Everything you learn in the game is improving your ability to learn everything in life". Thank for always making great and positive contents.

"Healers are supposed to heal" "I'm not a healer... I'm a support" *doom music kicks in*

Imo you can blame teams only for specific games. If you say "bad teams are the only reason I'm in X rank" then that's copium. If you see your rein charge in alone everytime or see DPS getting a negative KDA then you can point out in that game what was lacking. As bad as the overwatch Matchmaking is, you won't get bad teammates every single time to the point where you can't rank up.

Loved the vid! Especially since you crippled yourself way more than what not healing teammates would look like, you didnt even self-heal on baptise with shift. Pretty impressive aim yo!

The amount of people complaining after winning is insane lol, i dont get it

Local GM smurfs in bronze to prove that bronze isn’t hard, even knowing your not healing no bronze is going to have to aim you have

Mercy with the highest damage in the whole lobby 😤

How did you have the damage of both your dps combined… as a baptiste LMFAOOO thats insane

Amazing vid bro it’s always funny to see your team flame after you out damage the dps and tank

Another gem from the CEO of damage. *countless bronze players were physically and emotionally damaged in the making of this video*

Bronze players are all in the Support=Healer mindset. This video shows that sometimes the best way to support your team is to get eliminations

Hopes and Dreams playing in the background of battle mercy gameplay is the funniest thing I’ve seen all day

Really hoping to see more of this style of video from you man, very entertaining and educational as always, great work!

It infuriated me that people were calling you a _healer_ and NO ONE corrected them, not even you. Everyone knows overwatch doesn't have healers, it has supports. There is a difference. Also, that Winston is just jealous you got more elims than him as mercy.

I play a lot of Ana and I’ve even had my friends be like, man bro they are out healing us, yet we are winning and I have a ton of damage and Elims. It’s annoying when people focus on the numbers way too much.

I love how people win and are still mad. It's like they think you are their to serve their enjoyment only and to make their experience better.

Had a game the other day with a moira and mercy duo doing a no healing game and everyone was upset at first but i was laughing my ass off the whole time and we ended up winning shit was actually too funny

League of Legends taught me a very valuable lesson when it comes to gaming. If you are CONSISTENTLY losing games, the ONLY thing those games have in common is you. You are the common denominator. Play better. Perform. You'll win more.

the mercy game killed me LMFAOO no shot those are real players

5:23 Man the amount of "I need healing" spam was just hilarious and I couldn't stop laughing while in the forefront there is a DPS speed boosted only Lucio with his full on glory. 😳🤣

Im hard stuck on bronze 1, and i approve this message, lol. Your last video got me to bronze 1 Ana. Now i have to figure out how to climb. This helps i will heal still but it shows me I need to work on my aim a little more. Thanks

Love the Jet Set Radio soundtrack on Lucio men, great content as always.

i just recently got into ow2, and im having a blast. Its funny how i was recommended Jay3 and Awkward videos and Jay advocates "support = healer" while Awkward here advocates "support /= healer". very interesting

4:30 i don't care how much healing you would have done, there is no way your dps was gonna do half the damage you did.

the voice introduction lmaooooo bronze players are aware now

7:25 was a true anime moment, the dva player's mic even sounded like he was in the cockpit

For most people it’s very easy to forgive themselves for something they wouldn’t forgive someone else for. That’s why many people find it easy to just blame their team and say Elo hell while ignoring some of the fight losing plays they’ve made like chasing 1 person into 3 of their teammates and dying, or immediately running from the fight after 1 teammate dies turning a 4v5 into a 3v5 turning a potential comeback into a near guaranteed lost fight. I know that I do it, and I know that I don’t realize it until I watch my vods back but I’m trying to get better at that and at changing my mindset to a “what I can do” instead of “what my team isn’t doing”.

When you want to play damage but want shorter queues and 100 battle points.

"zenyatta, JESUS CHRIST!" I felt that.

Overwatch is toxic as hell... never in my life I played another game where people win and STILL complain about their teammates

"how are people in bronze" idk probably the gm smurfs doing challenges like this?

“Awww! She knew! That is not a bronze player. That is a masters player in disguise!” 😂 3:22

the crying in team chat lmao

i just love how this dude puts everyone on the spot lol, no excuses!

Love your coaching style. I’d like to see an unranked to Gm with Dva!

6:23 Just noticed it was the enemy mercy flaming him LMAO

new account so bronze players were low MMR, meaning they were either new or god awful, High MMR has you playing platinum with the wrong name, try a gazillion hours in quickplay, then start comp, then see the difference.

Happy holidays bud, super happy I found your content when I got back into ow

Dude you HAVE to turn this into a full challenge. This was hilarious😂

I’d have liked to see you start in bronze 5, just so you can see the ridiculous chaos.

Insane content, hope you make more of these😂

the fact that people still flamed you even while you were winning is just crazy to me 😭you're really good and i hope to get to your level someday

Rule #1 of videogaming with your fellow people, focus on yourself, don't worry about the other lovely people. Focus on having a good time and improving as a bonus, the ladder is just a number anyways, it doesn't inform anyone on your self worth. The winners are the people having the most fun, and it comes back, as winning is fun, so you win the most by having the most fun. So just focus on fun, which puts you in the zone and allow you to reach levels of play you didn't know you had in yourself. Plus what's fun about this mental trick is that you will attract other fellow lovely people who also vibe the same as you do, so you have fantastic fun games free of drama, all day long. Welcome to your life, much love, mwah!

“Trolling/Smurfing in Low Ranks with GM Aim” epic

Awkward loving zen is actually so perfect, my guy has so much wisdom. Linking improving in overwatch to getting a raise was too woke haha

We not gonna talk about the mercy with only 3k heals that first game 😂

Lmao they have no excuse now 🤣

That Bap window clip left a wet spot in my trousers

Hahaha. Nice video! And now I expect them to say that it is because you are top 500 and that for the rest it is impossible... In the end over many games, if you are better than the lobby you will climb, no matter the rank or team. Blaming the team is the easiest way to ignore your own mistakes. Everybody expects to be climbing up multiple ranks easily. But they don't realize how many hours Awkward or any other Top 500 has played this game.

“Healers are supposed to heal” “Good thing I’m playing support”

that was entertaining thnx awkward

"If you blame your team in bronze, you're just a loser, the Dive tanks who try to 1v5 solo enemy back-lines, DPS who only play long range without adequate aim training, and general trolls that will shit talk if you aren't pocketing are NOT why you're losing. It's because you aren't magically pulling Shots and kills like a top 500 player, which makes you a loser no matter what you say." -Awkward 2023 This is idiotic, plain and simple. And this is ignoring the fact that competitive ranking does actually work against healers in lower Elo since you will receive more ranking points for high damage and elim numbers, over high healing and assist numbers. Don't believe me? Drop yourself to bronze 5, play with the focus of keeping your allies alive, [No, you cannot group queue to try and side skirt the struggle the majority will experience, as most play solo queue], most people in bronze don't have godlike aim so pretending they should just magically gain that to rank up is idiotic, next drop to bronze 5 again and [if you have the aim, if not play Moira] focus on playing damage, you will notice a glaring difference in rank climbing between the two types, which goes against the entire philosophy of ensuring a balanced experience for varied playstyles. For those curious, I try to play a mix between healing and damage with more of a focus on keeping people alive, have a general healing range of 14k-20k healing per match, and a generalized death count between 2-5 per match. I have very often gone 5-4 to 5-9 and somehow ended up with a deranking event, or the rank refusing to change at all after the 5th win. I have tried playing through all 5 wins in one day with multiple attempts at climbing and the result has remained almost constant with minimum climb of 1-2 ranks after 3 or more rank changes. To put that in perspective, I've spent a day playing Moira, focused on just harassing back-lines and healing on occasion with a low general healing per match of 5k-9k, and ended up ranking faster because I was self ensuring elims and higher damage numbers than I would when actually playing to support the team. The reason people will say it is harder in bronze, is because bronze is often filled with trolls, the self proclaimed gods that are actually just feeders, and people like "Awkward" here who Derank to shit on those who are struggling, exasperating the problem, and fucking up the Statistical requirements that the game uses to judge players in specific Elo's against each other. There's a reason you can report people suspected of Deranking under 'Cheating', they are actively fucking the system that determines rank by skill by jacking the statistical skill ceiling for an Elo that should be judging players with low-moderate skill against each other, not trying to wonder why little timmy isnt just pulling the same numbers as a top 500 GM in bronze.

Not even in bronze I'm in diamond Plat but cmon no bronze is gonna have gm aim

No fucking way 35% of the people who saw that poll said bronze is harder than gold like how?????

this was so fun to watch live

I love when your team is clearly winning and yet they still complain about "no heals". Some people man

Like I always tell my supports, you don't need to heal if the enemy is dead. Healing is usually reactionary, but damage should be always be proactive. Masters on the climb to GM, love when my supports show up on kill feed

i’m so glad you posted!! i’m loving your content, whether educational or not!

Why isn't this guys account banned already? He's made so many smurf accounts

"reported the mercy, ezily could have lost this match" is the funniest thing to read after your team dominated.

This isn't impressive. Dude is just stroking his ego for content smurfing in bronze. 😴 Just check his recent tweet

As a platinum player who has played in bronze before, there's no issues at all getting out of bronze as tank and DPS but support are way harder because not only do you have to do 95% of the damage but you also have to play like a tank and flank behind the enemy team at times so that they focus the damage on you instead of your teammates. As DPS and tank you only have to do damage which is why you can get out of the rank without any effort at all if you have a good enough PC. The number 1 rule to get out of any rank as support is doing damage and position good at the map so you can maximize doing damage. If you don't have a good enough PC to do damage you will not get out of bronze no matter how much you try unless you play Moira only. I played on a 30 fps avg laptop back in 2017-2019 and when I played on a 150fps avg setup for some hours, I went from bronze to gold without loosing a single game and everyone thought I was hacking due to having a thousand times better aim than anyone of the ranks. In bronze I had 30% weapon accuracy as Soldier with the 30 fps setup in bronze but when I played on 150 fps avg I had 70-90% weapon accuracy in bronze (went down to 45% in platinum).

Nice smurfing, stop, get some help.

bro had teams diffs the whole time ofc you win when your team out heals and out dps the other team💀

I voted that bronze was harder. I admit it. I did enjoy the video. Very inspiring

I love this video!!😂 Hilarious and Awesome!! Keep up the Awkward, er um I mean Awesome content!! 😅

Lol i mean obviously if you are top 500 you can carry without team. But players in bronze are there for a reason. And gameplay in different tiers are completely different. It's starting to look like overwatch from diamond. Lower than that is a complete mess. You could eventually have some good game in bronze or gold, but that is like 1 of 50. Point is if people in bronze try to implement top 500 techs and strats and overall way of playing the game, they will fail. You have to act differently to improve win rate. If you want to see how it is, set your mouse sens to like 50 and try to win game. I mean you have to play like a bronze to see their point.

Amazing editing in this video!! :D
