Educational coaching roast of KarQ's Reinhardt 

Ah yes, the long-awaited very informative '1 REINHARDT TIP for EVERY SECOND KARQ PLAYS HIM ft. Flats (2021)'

KarQ has the mentality of a support, which is just survival.

I died when he called KarQ a "barely plat player" lmao.

"That nano wasn't bad, THAT WAS WINNABLE." It was about this point watching live that I just lost it. That revelation was hysterical.

🤡

KarQ's giggling has me DEAD lmao this is great. Hilarious and educational as well. What a fantastic idea for a video!

"if you don't come back to me with 1 HP missing a leg," bro I died laughing 😆😆😆

As a low Plat tank main myself, I can tell you that the hardest thing by far is to not engage in a Rein duel. We don't go for squishies if there is another Rein in front of us. Nothing we can do about it. It's like a natural instinct or something about honor maybe?

This is brilliant, pretty humanizing as well to see a GM player play Rein slightly worse than I do, *somehow* xD. But that's ok, it's a different mentality, a different playstyle, and it takes a different skillset to succeed at top form. It's just comforting to know you can always learn something even when you're a good player. Can't wait to see Flats' Ana roasted next ^^

This video really highlights why Flats had such a high demand for his coaching and vods long ago. He offers wise advice and some very astute analysis. It also highlights how powerful the role of Tank in OW is and the decision tree. It truly is a different game mode that I've grown to appreciate and I feel worried we'll be losing some of that chess like game play from OW2 with the swap to 1 tank. Great video.

I genuinely prefer the educational stuff over the roasting/spectating stuff. I might be in the minority but that’s just me

I love educational content like this, teaching the mentality and game sense. It's a massive gift to any viewers looking to improve, myself included. It's one reason I watch ML7, because he does it so well, even managing to speak out much of his thought process while actively playing in a GM game

The roast , that became an Educational Roast ,love watching it on stream , I mean he was really nice when he did his part ,so Flats one completed the wholesome

Flats being a wholesome homie to KarQ for 50 min. and 46 sec.

KarQ keeps telling platchat that he can play every hero at a GM level. And then his Rein looks like this.

Emongg and flats is a great combo. Flats and Karq are just as good together. I love the Apex videos with the three of them (subbed to Flats 2? PogO) but this would be a great series to do. Flats vs. someone else’s main.

I love this series! Id love to see this kinda stuff take place more often for sure. Flats reviewing all kinds of players reins, oh God that's amazing! Bonus, I've never seen someone rip karQ apart like that, it was done in such a good way I'm sure he learned a hell of a lot from this review.

Ngl, this was just awesome. Would love to see this once on a while. Off to karqives now

This video got me so hyped that 12 hours later, when I was finally home and able, I logged on specifically to play main tank. And I went wild and had so much fun dominating other reins for a while. And for the first time, I intentionally blocked an entire shatter with a zarya bubble (when I had to off tank), and a few fights later prevented a shatter simply by being in the enemy rein's face and refusing to bubble when I knew he had it

"IF YOU DON'T COME BACK TO ME AT 1HP, LIMPING, MISSING A LEG YOU DIDN'T DO YOUR JOB" Tank in one sentence

This is one of the BEST EVER Roast/Coaching you have done so far. THX! A lot - this video was litterly eye opening

My therapist: super flats ain't real he can't hurt you SUPEr Flats: 16:06

I laughed so hard at this video. I'm Loving this content series so much, thank you Flats and KarQ

This is THE funniest video on this channel! I love the interactions and the Education mixed with roasts. Keep these up!

Can I just say this helped so f-ing much. I am a Rein main and the best I've gotten is low gold and I'm trying to work my way back up. Figuring out positioning has been challenging granted I'm in lower ranks but this really helped.

Yes. Just yes.

Best Flats video so far. Love the mix of humor and education. I know this type of vid is harder to make, but we want more like it!

Where’s Karq one tip vs every hero Reinhardt(updated) ft flats

I think the biggest takeaway for support players like myself who want to learn tank is that we have to unlearn our aversion to taking damage. that's a big part of playing support -- our job is to stay alive so we can help our teams. if we die, no one gets our healing, no one gets speed or damage boosted, etc. but as a tank, you take damage. ideally you do what you can to reduce the amount of damage, but taking damage is inevitable. that's the job. you put yourself in harm's way intentionally. you bodyguard your team and the objective/space. and! support players play with the mentality that we have 200hp and limited self-heal capacity. tanks have 400+hp and supports to heal them and provide other utility to reduce the damage they tank or disengage. for example, a Mercy regens health at 20hp per second after not taking damage for a second. without healing from the other support, that's what she's got. ideally she's not taking much damage in general, but that's what she has immediately at her disposal to heal. I use mercy as an example because I know her best. but tanks have two supports. using Mercy as an example again, a Rein might have a Mercy who can heal him for 55 HP per second and heal through shields. with a health pool of 500hp plus that 55hp per second (outside of valk, which does 60 healing per second + chain heals which is AOE essentially), that's a lot of healing* coming in, even without a second support's utility and healing. those resources allow for a completely different approach to team fights, but you have to take that approach, and it doesn't come naturally to support mains because we aren't practicing that style. so to me, that's the biggest lesson from this. you can't play scared as a tank, you can't be afraid to take damage in the same way you need to be cautious as a support. that may seem like a 4Head thing to say because on paper, it's very obvious, but when it comes to very fundamental things when it comes to playing the game, it's much harder to do something different. *"but mercy doesn't do much healing!!!" on paper, sure. but her healing is not resource based, unlike Moira and Brig. she does not need to aim to heal so there's no chance of missing once the beam is attached aside from beam breakage. she does not need to reload, so there's no downtime if she's holding beam on someone. and she can continuously heal through shields, and Zen is the only other support who can do that. she can also continue healing someone when they break LOS for an additional 1.75 seconds after they break LOS. I don't believe any other support can do that. on paper, it's not as much as Ana's darts or Bap's shots when he hits targets directly (his splash healing is only 50, I believe), but in practice, she has the potential to do (and often does, in my experience, even when getting 2k+ damage boosted per 10min) a lot more healing than others when you account for these other factors.

This is both educational and heilarious at the same time. I love these types of videos man, because you learn a lot about the mantality and what to.not to do and also get laughs out of it too haha!

I really love the introductions to these video Flats. You have a very warm and welcoming vibe, almost feels like we're friends 😂

This is a really good educational video. All that thought process is explained. Hope to see more in the future!

Aight I'll be honest this content got my attention. More of this please flats please 🙏

Honestly this is so much better than the roasting stuff. There being a new roasting video every day or two gets a little old, even if it's why flats has blown up. Would LOVE more of this

While this is less of a roast I'm glad you reviewed this vod and broke it down especially on this map where positioning is key especially on Rein and I like how you were teaching KarQ the Rein mind games. This felt very educational

I do love this series, it's always very interesting to watch how the gamesense of high level players transfers across to roles you haven't mechnically mastered yet, because it makes it obvious how clever *decisions* completely swing fights, rather than simply good aim/reflexes.

this was really educational, definitely learned a few things rn

Yes yes yes, soo good video. And I'm hyped for it to be a series. I've been watching you Flats for a bit, trying to pick up hiw to play, but this visit to your mind palace is just awesome. Thanks for that

both videos are funny and really educational, thank so much to both of you

Really liked the video, looking forward to the rest of the series! I think it works because Flats and KarQ are friendly with each other and so the roasts come off as joking/genuinely wanting to help learn. I think too often when people do the "roast" style of VOD review, it just ends up being bullying them for their mistakes. I think it's really cool how Flats points out the mistakes, goes over multiple ways of doing it differently, and says positive things when KarQ makes a smart play. KarQ is also really good about explaining his thought process, but not acknowledging his mistakes and not getting overly defensive. tldr Great vid, Flats is a genuine teacher and KarQ a genuine student, makes for an awesome VOD review.

I loved the video, please make more of thoose kind of videos!

The lil "hehehe"s from karq are so cute. Lovin the mix of roast and info

Really great video. Lots of laughs as well as being the most educational Rein video I’ve seen

there is absolutely nothing better than a well served flats roast! love it!

Can we please have more??? Also, your nades were on point, Flats!

Dont be a low ground larry, be a high ground hunk

Loved the "yep goodbye" moment xD

I need to get Flats to review my Reinhardt, I'd make him so mad he'd start screaming no cap

This is dope and fun and educational, I want more of this please algorithm :)

My Favourite Bit Is When When ls when a rein sits there with shield up and looks wierd he has shatter Its so true 🤣🤣

Good video. KarQ is a first rate fellow btw, a gentleman among a horde of streamer beasts.

been waiting for this one

i love the roasting videos but i like the educational stuff every once in a while as well

I have waited for this moment. For a long time

Hey flats, i have been playing overwatch for almost a year from now and am a tank main. I first started out as a silver rein and am now a flex tank player in low to mid plat . Climbing in the ranks was tough but i eventually managed to get to where i am current am now. However, ive played games in my current elo and i have noticed that games are much more harder than im used to in high gold. I dont know what to really improve on and it feels like the level of difficulty is much higher than im used to. Every game ive played so far has left me wondering that if im just not that knowledgeable on tank or its my team or some other reason. Is there much more to tank or is there a limit to what you can do on the role. I am so lost on if i can improve.

Finally the flats coaching I have been looking for

I am but a humble casual overwatch player but I mostly play Lucio and I would love to see a video from a rein's perspective on what a rein wants a lucio to do. This was great to watch.

A great rule to have is that if you have an advantage, keep pushing for that advantage for as long as possible. Steamrolling and keeping the tempo in your team's side is a great way to utterly snowball the enemy team because you'll get ulti advantages, spawn advantages and stagger their team so they can't regroup in favourable positions or even shatter enemy team mentality. Snowballing in this game is very hard to stop at times. If you can trade and still keep the momentum on your team's side, it's still probably a good trade, barring dumb places like 2cp attack on second point where you have to keep bodies alive to contest the point. Ironically, 2cp's design exacerbates snowballing and it used to be even worse. If you die and lose momentum without trading anything, lives or ultimates, that's what we call feeding. Recognizing this is the make or break a main tank. tld;dr: Hold W, not S

Easily the best video on Flats' channel.

Not only is he educating KarQ, he's educating me as well. Cheers Flats 👍

The same reaction to KarQ, 'my brain just expande by a thousand'.

Amazing series

This more in depth look at Maintank really makes me a bit scared of ow2 tank. Without the other tank enabling you lose the Maintank style and play in a more Offtank playstyle. I love playing off tank much more than main tank, but the idea of the Maintank style potentially going away is not one I like to think about. The buffed up tanks might help with the space creation and allow a more main tank style, but I've not played with the game yet so I can not quite think of how it would actually feel.

I've been waiting for this video!

Everyone needs a friend like flats and karQ

42:05 Oh man I laughed at that recap for like a full minute XD

KarQ giggling because he knows in hindsight where he fucked up.

so excited for this content

Loving the BOTW stable music in the back

There is overly aggressive. Aggressive and safe. And then this ****

Please keep this content coming ✊🏼

This video was so educational it made me want to play rein more often :3

9:36 "What is this? What the F is that?" (KarQ giggling) - "I'm making spaaace!" ...I love this video xD

Love to see new overwatch content and content creators doing new content with the lack of content blizzard provides

Next vid we need ML7 roasting his Ana...

Please do this again, As a non main tank player, I have always aspired to be a better one. This shit is what will make that come true TIME TO LEARN RIEN I GUESS

This is the best damn series.

I absolutely love these videos, huge fan of the roasting bronze and shit, but I'm a silver tank player myself, so these types of videos really let me see in hindsight the preventable situations I've been in.

4:04 can we talk about cool the rein clash looked

Flats this video has blown my mind!!

KarQ: mistakes were made but ultimately we were out played Flats: THIS IS WHY WE LOST?!?!?!?!?! 🤣🤣🤣

sas me got my coffee and a 50 min ed vid lets go, Love you Flats keep up the awesome

I'm only 15 mins in but my work production has tanked. I'm in tears

lmao, I swear Flats' screams here sounded so high pitched sometimes they reminded me of an agitated rooster.

Finally it’s here

Ive been pretty hard stuck on tank around 2800… ill be taking notes, i mostly play off tank but i like to try and adapt, my rein aint the best so im v interested in this

Super Saiyan Flats made me lose it haha

Flats is a 9ers fan!! Wooooo. Where are you from by the way?

it really does show the real big difference between support and tank. support mains really do have no idea on the frontline. when to be aggro when to be passive etc etc. im not that good but as someone playing support almost every game, survival really is ingrained rather taking the aggro or tracking the enemy rather than your team more intensely. that really shows how each are different

KarQ: I need to stay alive to heal my team. Flats: I need to make room for my team to get kills, even if I die for it. KarQ as Rein: So... I have a shield!.... I can STAY ALIVE. How do tanks ever die?!

It's always a 'goodie' apparently

Not gonna lie, been watching you vids for some time now....nice shirt. I am subbed now...

the thing with KarQ is that he's scared of dying from getting shot at by 1 player while not fully comprehending he has a dedicated healer and a bigger healthpool so he doesn't understand how to leverage that to his advantage, like it's ok to get shot at by some enemies for a bit of time while counterplaying the big threat that can kill you really fast. the second thing most likely is how aggressive you have to be as rein, rein is the only tank that wants to walk up to people into their face. a good analogy for reinhardt is if you compare him to a grapple character in fighting games, he's basically zangief. the second thing about tanks in general is that you probably will be pretty useless in some situations and the best thing you could try and do is fight until you die, either for more ult charge or for taking maybe someone down or getting them low enough so that your team can finish up. tanks generally go in first and also die first, that's just a fact so do the most with that as you can basically. and honestly this is not a plat reinhardt performance, maybe low gold perhaps, however the skill inflation due to the lack of tanks, then yeah maybe this is plat rein. but yeah KarQ don't know how to recognize strong positions or good pathing because he haven't gone too aggressive ever to know where he should dial it down.

Coaching, roasting... Roaching.

I would love to see u doing that whit someone like Kephrii or wanted

I know this video is old and all... but what Mei skin is that person using around 28 minutes?~

I’m a tank main but I’m an off tank player. There’s so much that goes into main that I have such a hard time with. If I HAVE to play main tank, I play sigma and make him a sort of main for the match

Yes my guy, i still enjoy this

I love this it’s brilliant and so funny

This meal sounds like the Neil Degrass Tyson thing 3:25
