Flats reacts to Overwatch 2 Tiktok Advice from Gold Players 

Love how smug Ryan sounded about his advice when Flats proceeded to systematically demolish every point he made

I think the problem with Mercy is that her boosted damage value isn't shown on the stats screen for other players. That screen is what Tiktok players care for the most. They look at the stats and think: "Oh, she only healed and did nothing else", completely ignoring damage boost and revives.

As a gold do not listen to us Edit: man's now in plat, although got a Moira player in my lobby so us plats are pretty brain-dead too

"you can mechanically out muscle yourself to diamond easy" my self esteem is shattered lmao

10:44 Gets final blow with Ana sleep dart: "OH MY GOD I JUST HIT A CLIP!"

"If I was blind, and I wanted to know what something looked like, I wouldn't ask another blind person." I really like that analogy.

Literally half the support roster can only heal one person at a time lol. That guy just didn’t like mercy.

The reason Brig is "so bad" is because you really only play her when you're getting dove. There are so few supports to play that not being able to play her unless the right conditions are met makes her feel a million times worse, even if she is technically not a weak character.

Very relatable flats. I used to coach people up to masters because I was gm and was comfortable with that and holy shit the egos on people are insane. I would just be like dude you're paying me for advice and you're not even listening. Do you just want me to sit here and tell you you're the best?

Flats: "We have 28 new tiktoks" Also Flats: uploads a video showing 3, still ends up being 16min long

I love how Flats describes the Mercy Flying.

I was in a bronze match playing Lucio last night and I'm working on getting the mechanics down better. Tried to use speed boost as much as possible, with occasional heals, got ripped a new one pretty much the whole game by my team. We stop their payload a bit short so on our turn, it's just cap 3 points. My team gets stuck and everyone just starts cussing at each other. I said fuck it, and just ran damage Lucio......we won, you can absolutely muscle through bronze 😂

Love seeing flats pop off lately with his viewer growth, deserves it

As a TF2 Player, I can agree with the fact that it is hard to get into the higher levels of a new game you play, especially when you have been mostly playing a different game. Like, I have played Team Fortress 2 for about 2000 hours, and could play Medic pretty well. But once I went over to Overwatch, support became very hard to play. My job was no longer as simple as “Heal big guy, heal other people when they are very low, and then use Ubercharge (invincibility) or Kritzcharge (damage buff) as soon as possible. It became “Use your damage output and utility to aid your team while also keeping them alive by healing.” I honestly debated not playing Overwatch anymore after playing a bit, but I sticked with it and am now a Jack of all trades, being able to play Overwatch decently as Tank and Support, while still being able to fluently play Team Fortress 2.

excuse me THAT'S how big Brig's radius is??? WHAT?!

On console, I can say that you can muscle your way to mid-plat with raw mechanics. The reason for this is that after plat 3, you hit the people who use the 3rd party connectors to use the mouse and keyboard instead of their controller and now you have 2000% sensitivity hitscan ruining your games

I have been playing quite a bit of Brig lately in quick play cuz i like the style of the hero, and i gotta admit, she is incredibly fun and rewarding

"If you gonna play comp please go into quick-play and learn a few different legends" Flats: "They said legends, oh god they're not even one of us"

I just love the Mercy movement analogies because it's honestly what it would look like to anyone but the person playing her 😆 Also, all it takes is for the last poster that played Ana to say they were in Silver to have things make sense. It really does hurt watching them frontline like 'oh, that's why you're in Silver and probably blame your team or Blizzard MM for why you can't climb'.

THE FIRST THING I SEE WHEN I OPEN YT WAS MY TIKTOK IN YOUR THUMBNAIL, AND I WAS THE FIRST VIDEO BRUH I got so scared, thank you for not roasting my entire existence Flats

I will never get tired of your reactions to TikTok videos. You’re more than welcome to spam my feed.

I can't believe how long I been subscribed to both Flats and Flats Two to see the main channel reach over 300k and now this one is about to hit 100k absolutely crazy you love to see it

Definitely helps to listen to your rants about ranking. I've recently only gotten into gold, and I'm trying to improve myself to muscle my way into Plat and so on. A single person going beyond the threshold means a lot on game

i really liked this video bc not only do u have fun commentary but also give info that actually helps me thanks

I love "her rez takes too long" I'm like "well ana's rez takes forever so-" Also, I love playing Mercy. She's the fastest thing in universe, if she has even one teammate kind of nearby (even a dead one) she has almost unlimited mobility. But something about playing her makes me so bloodthirsty idk why

Yea as a plat support I’m starting to realize how important it is to be versatile. Trying to learn and expand is hard but it’s actually fun. Good luck out there.

hearing flats say the words "Escape from Tarkov" made me smile. The idea of flats trying to learn EFT would be so fucking funny

I just want to say, I absolutely love the background music for these videos Flatts. Keep up the great work.

Here for the memes, but having you say things like heal your support as a priority was actually quite helpful since I’m new to OW2. Slowly grinding/improving (currently gold) 😂

The new ranking system has killed my motivation to climb. Not being able to see my rank, and having it reset at the start of the season makes me not really want to play comp anymore.

I really think the underlying issue with brig, is that you really don't have any feedback for your inspire passive. Lucio and other aura supports have a more visible effect on how long their aura lasts and how many people it affects. Whereas inspire... You don't even know when it's going to expire, even if the only thing that matters is that people are in range when you hit someone. I think people fail to understand just how much healing and value brig brings to the table, because there's really not that much feedback, there's not even an audio cue for healing with inspire (unless it heals yourself)

Hey Flats, you should pull up Jay3’s clip/short of “mercy op” where a Mercy was pulling insane maneuvers against Jay and his entire team trying to swat the mercy out of the air and the Mercy escaping with a sliver of health. It such a good example of how mobile a Mercy can be, especially in high elo.

I sent the ana player who said he was new to Overwatch 2 tik tok, love your reactions, keep it up!

“Overwatch is one of the hardest games to learn” Rust: any klei game: any paradox game:

One day players will understand that support doesnt mean just healing.

“you slept a Zen point blank at the choke. and thats a clip?” 😂😂😂

i think the clip was the sheer surprise that he hit a dart at all

"OH my God I just hit a clip," caught me off guard lmao

Please Flats bro! Do more of these videos. Super entertaining XD

Devs: we don’t know why people don’t want to play support Players: TARGET THINE SUPPORTS FIRST

Don't like that "blind leading the blind" analogy with the silvers reviewing each other. If you wanted the silver to review his own gameplay, it would be equally beneficial or even more since it's a different perspective, if another silver were to review it. Just because their silver doesn't mean they won't catch macro mistakes in retrospect. It's more like two dumb kids helping each other with homework. They aren't completely unable to help, two people together are still worth something.

As a tarkov main who has been playing a lot of OW recently. I appreciate the shoutout. Love your content

2:53 My dude playing Papers Please on stream lmfao

Almost 100K, congrats dude

Man it hurt when he said “you’re in silver” man I’m climbing out of it 🤣. My excuse is I came from console and this is my first FPS comp game on PC lol. So I know what I need to do it’s just getting the muscle memory down on M&KB. But I am also a support main who cares too much about keeping my team up even if its not feasible. Mainly because I don’t wanna hear the backlash from titled DPS/Tank players that I let them die. Granted if I move up I won’t hear it anymore but still I just try and be a good teammate even to my own detriment 🙃

“He said legends… he’s not even one of us” LOL

12:01 testament from Harstem, sc2 youtuber, tournament level, diamond is where you start getting into stuff other than mechanics. there was also something about shoes in there but I don't think that applies

Everybody gangsta until Flats pulls up “If I’m blind…” LOVE IT 😂❤

I always feel like I’m comp at the moment I’m doing well and so is the team but the enemy team will have one amazing player that rolls all of us.

In that ana clip talking about new players… That sigma shield owns literal property taxes, that shield has been there longer than I’ve been alive. That shield has lived there so long that it gets a discount on it’s property taxes for being such a long term client. XD

As a brig main and someone new to the game i didn’t know how big her inspire range is XD and I’m glad that (for the most part) I’m playing her like she should be. She a squishy protector, I mean on a good game I can team wipe with my tank all day (and at the start of me playing her I was a tank killer) but I know now that with her kit she’s a back line protector. But my god now knowing just how big her inspire range is I’m definitely gonna keep this in mind for future games XD

Brigg needs some type of heal range circle indicator for new player just like Lucio or brig's rally

4:50 as a support main i do agree that going on the front line as brig is very funny

1 Actual usefull tip with junkrat, you can still use your main weapon while the landmine animation is still running

True. as someone hard stuck plat support, the reason I'm not climbing is straight up that I need to land more shots on enemies. I think my game sense is very good but I just dont have the mechanics required to fully do what I know

Best part of this video is Flats saying Tiktok notifications suuucckkk

Thank you for always saying support flats it’s so appreciated

I’ve played Overwatch 1 but not a whole lot but since the second “game” dropped I’ve been playing it a lot more. I come from Counter Strike and rank around Legendary Eagle. I’m kind of hard stuck Platinum now but I was close to breaching Diamond. I’ve only got about a couple hundred hours in and I think that I need to learn some more characters and their functions to climb higher

I'm enjoying the content flats. Nerf Genji

The fact that the sleep killed the zen was funny though

"he said legends, omg they're not even one of us"

5:29 yeah when I was a mercy onetrick the other support was almost above the tank on rez priority. Almost.

8:14 fax but ages ago in bronze with my friend we ran lucio brig and just held W l,or it was wonderful

12:00 this is so true. I was really good at valorant but got bored and when ow2 launched I decided to give it a shot. I initially placed in bronze but climbed out of there to plat-diamond in like 2 weeks and have been stuck there ever since

Sometimes I feel like I’m bad at Overwatch for being in low Gold, but then I hear takes like this and I feel better about my level of play

I had a drunk doomfist player on my team last night; so that was fun to deal with.

Flats ripping that guy a new one for saying mercy was the worst support last season when he and pretty much every other content creator agreed with that as recently as a couple weeks ago. Maybe they didn't think she was THE worst but no one had her above low C tier.

You can DEFFINETLY just force ranks with mechanics. got diamond on my dps only kiriko acnt when i was just trying to aim train. hope i can continue to masters soon

As someone who came from apex and muscled my way from nothing to diamond first week and then started struggling i cant describe how accurate this is man

Any tips for Junker Queen? Asking the Overwatch pros here lol.

Mercy as "the worst sup" made me cry. Legit, missing out on damage boost is top tier stupid. I was struggling in silver with mercy, as the DPS players being boosted doesn't really matter if they can't hit shots, but I can't hit them either, which is why I play mercy. Self burn.

The problem I have is my mechanical skill in games. Your vids have helped my game sense and I can play a certain few characters well but I always hit a skill wall and I'm stuck in the low tiers even when i do on occasion do very well. Ive always sucked at DPS but been a pretty good support and tank especially in OW1 where i was gold. Now I can barely get out of silver 😩 It's frustrating when you know what to do but i can't seem to make myself do it.

I struggle in high masters. The weird things I can get away with in gold/plat when I’m just playing with my friends is insane.

In regards to the blind leading the blind.: I feel like receiving advice from someone in the same league as yourself can give you a rough idea for the landscape of the meta for that league and the thought processes commonly found within that league. It’s like studying the enemy team’s playbook in a weird sorta way… think for yourself, exploit their openings, and you’ll see yourself in the championship game.

Hell you could play death match to learn how your hero works

"Mercy is the worst support!" Proceeds to not explain her kit correctly..

"Not only do you have to learn maps, you have to learn heroes" ... Isn't that, literally every pvp game? Learning maps and characters/weapons?

I don't know if you guys agree, but mercy is extremely fun when you start abusing your shift. Flying everywhere and looking in different directions while trying not to get hit is incredibly fun Also I remember in OW1, I think season 2 - 3: I played duo with my friend. Now I'm ofc a support main. Problem was that I really only looked if I had golden healing. So I would purposely not heal my fellow support just because I wanted golden healing. After season 3 I started thinking why I lost so much, where I started to realize that I actually sucked. When I learned how to actually play with my team (Heal my fellow support and started learning game knowledge) I actually enjoyed the game and could win easier than before. I still feel bad for people who was my teammates back then lmao

"her rez is so slow" Well it's faster than walking, isn't it?

I always love the comments about people who joined into OW during F2P

Watching TikToks like these gives me some hope that I'll claw my way out of Bronze some day, because I can recognize the hypocrisies and mistakes the person in the video is making/the details they're missing and hearing Flats point those things out immediately after. My biggest issue is that I'm still figuring out what mouse sensitivity I should play with and trying to untrain how tight my wrist is while playing and how hard I flick (overflick, tbh) when I'm shooting. It's like my body overcompensates for what I tell it to do and it's this dumb muscle memory thing I need to unlearn. But if all these key parts of game sense make sense to me then, when I learn how to aim better, maybe there's hope for me yet? 😭😭

My man stays punching down. All the best content is about punching down.

9:13 "One of the hardest games to master" I can imagine about a million games harder to master then this, including COD series, Halo series, Dark Souls, Wow and so many more

This is my first time hearing that brings Inspire range is so big now I genuinely don't feel like I have to be in the front line to keep people alive

Tbf to that ana otp's either throw or carry and the ones that carry at least know when to change

The part with support is so important.

8:57 "You have to learn how to play multiple characters to be effective. Now watch as i play Ana like she's Lucio."

"And not just 1 or 2 heroes" Im forcing rein and you cant stop me.

“I hate egos” -two seconds later- “silvers are like blind people”

Flats described exactly how I used to play Brig when I first started playing Support last season 😭

I play in Silver/Gold and I'm telling you, damage boosting DPS is usually a huge waste of time. My guys can't hit a barn. I can spend half the match damage-boosting and the end of match total is ~600. And on console, you can't even utilize her mobility like on PC.

Correction, Brigs heal is not just double, Lucio has a radius of 12 m = area of 452.4 m² and Brig of 20 m = area of 1256.6 m² so it's almost 3 times (2.78) the size.

I had no clue brig had AOE healing. That's crazy.

Ngl flats with brig I swing around on reins and hogs all the time, it usually works because I outheal the 1 dps focusing me and my team just shreds the tank while I disorient him while pushing him around from the back

someone finally explained how brig worked finally maybe i'll get less meat heads telling me to switch off brig now. been watching your streams for a while now i been climbing my way out of bronze im silver 2 hoping to at least make it to gold :3

10:35 I actually flinched when he pronounced kiriko like that

Unironically the best content to come from OW2

Ever since I heard this bgm in these videos, I can't help listening to it whenever I play Overwatch nowadays. 🤣

dont shoot the horse turned into a meme on the overwatch subreddit

I love the small nod to Escape from Tarkov in learning curve because I'm at 800-900 hours still learning lol, overwatch is still incredibly hard to master though.
