The Secret To Improving 

“It takes a hundred times to learn, a thousand to understand” - Zenyatta Tekartha

Since I started watching A10s videos my life has improved so much. I got a new job as CEO for five major oil companies and found a wife and made 18 kids. His tutorials cured my mothers cancer and saved earth global warming. Thank you A10!

this dude is probably the most helpful overwatch youtuber right now

Dude no wonder you’re a graduate psychologist it all makes sense haha😂

what you're doing with those videos is absolutely insane, keep up the good work. I really enjoyed all the video and it was really helpful

Self improvement is such a great topic yet, so many greedy coaches made it bitter for regular people... I love how You combined gaming(enjoyable) and improvement(hard) to make it more digestible :)

What a fantastic video. The narration, the editing, the insane amount of knowledge being presented. Everything is perfect! Thank you so much to everyone involved for the amazing content yet again💯

Again a super well explained video, sad that people think they are only for low elo players, i myself have improved allready alot and hope to finally peak gm now :) thx for the good content keep it up

I like this mindset and style, ive been using it and have been playing noticeably better as a result

your editing style is so satisfying, well done!! Personally, I remember in high school that I had to learn how to learn! It's a very basic skill that I can apply everywhere, Overwatch too! How I process new information and how I change my behaviour with it is so important and useful to be aware of! I learned that school and university don't align to my learning style and that I am much better teaching myself, so I didn't force it and went into areas where I can apply that. And I love Overwatch for that reason, you never learn enough, there's always something new!

*Quick Note, I have a psychology Degree, I am not a psychologist Learning how to Learn is something that I heard years ago and has stuck with me until this day, I wanted to make a video discussing the simplicity of developing those skills. It's very simple in its nature, and the complexity is what makes or breaks people. Much love everyone, it took a lot of work and I hope this video adds to lists of tools that help you achieve your best you. I have created a patreon where I have all my Coaching VoDs for you to look at which is much cheaper than getting 1 on 1 coaching directly 🎥www.patreon.com/CoachA10

These are the most helpful OW videos I've seen. Thank you so much!

Love the new videos love the unranked to gms love the top 500 games love it all brotha you’re doin great!!!

After watching a couple of your videos I went into a game as dps and I can confidently say that your tips help me to utilize and abuse my advantages in games thank you so much A10!

"Use the basics Zuko! Break his root!"

A10, ever since i watched your first video in this series, it inspired me to throw away my solo q anxiety and move forward with a better mental to carry my games. I’m a DPS main and never got anywhere past 2000 SR in OW1. I was hardstuck silver, and the only time I wasn’t was when I placed in gold only to drop out. Your videos have made me rethink my positioning, aim priority, ego, and the flow of the match. I’ve noticed lately now that I’ve only been blamed by my teammates for their mistakes, but never blame them for mine. My mental has been better, and I genuinely love to play and win in OW. Even in the games where I aim like shit, I keep my mental up, and scrape together as many elims as I can with what I’ve been presented. Now, I can happily say that I’m not just gold, nor plat, but diamond for the very first time in any game ever, not just OW. And a large piece of it is because of you, and I can’t thank you enough. Thank you for helping me find something I enjoy actively improving on! Next season, it’s masters.

These last videos are amazing, the editing is sooo good.

Thanks you A10!

I became Diamond thanks to your ebb and flow tip. Very cool A10 much love~!

Absolutely excellent video

Went from low masters to gm massively assisted with a10’s tips, lessons and coaching. A10 is the best content creator for improvement in the scene right now. Priceless. This is CAAFIEND btw a10, love you lots

I'm learning OW2 coming from League of Legends and all these random references are just so hilarious to me, yet I don't see a single League video. I enjoy these a lot btw, really helpful ty :)

thanks for the vids bro

the easiest way to get someone to comment on your videos is, instead of asking them to comment or asking what they think of the video, is to write something purposely wrong, like ellement in 3:52, and for sure, someone will succumb to the will to try to correct you. Big brain a10, big brain.

goated video as always

Funny how this really applies to anything. Currently im practicing alot of drawing and painting and always try to challenge myself with concepts and challenges that are way out of my league. And i obviously failed real bad everytime. But instead of giving up, like you mentioned in your chart, i always try to look at the few positive things i was able to accomplish. For example in OW2 by getting a teamwipe as Mccree because of my positioning even though we lost the game. Or in while drawing, being able to match the facial proportions to some degree. Yes i lost or failed at everything else i set myself out to, but i made some kind of accomplishment and step forward. And that alone drives me to do better in the next impossible challenge. It makes you feel like nothing seems impossible.

I can see that this is really good, but something I've learned as I've noticed it more. Just enjoy the game. You will see a lot more of the smaller things, because the smaller things are what makes you enjoy it. Just in general having your mental as good as possible. It's probably pretty obvious to most people, but I almost always forget it after a few days of focusing on getting better.

wow the casual graduate psychologist drop. this makes so much sense. love the content, im currently a social work undergrad.

3:23 "Hey! Vsauce! Micheal here" 🙂

Banger after Banger after Banger!

gonna take my learning exam for ap psych on monday this video couldnt have been at a better time

these videos are underrated

That bronse Icon placements thou... :D

I definetely learned how to comment :). Take my like!

You have a psychology degree? That’s awesome man!

love the vsauce music

wow not only is this helpful content, the editing has improved, the logic and explanation has improved instead of random terms flying around. Even the self promo is better in that it's smooth and not in your face and a waste of our time to watch. This is some of the best quality content possible the fact he has a degree in psychology actually makes sense. I have studied psychology and the use of ambivalence is proper however people may not know what that actually means in psychology but it might not be needed as the specifics aren't necessary. Overall great improvement on video quality.

u are the best L9 member i love u bro

Love the Vinesause music

YES! You're teaching HOW to learn. This is the exact thing I've wanted to make a video about but I know deep down I'll never finish it. However, I was going to show how THAT discrete learning process was the exact same for learning how to aim. Instead of roadhog, it's repeated results of overshooting your flicks or not tracking your targets fast enough when they get too close. AH! I'm so excited! Just knowing that you're making videos I am going to link years from now, is exciting. Like I'm a time traveler at the iPhone reveal just shouting, "OOOH! OOOH! I KNOW WHAT THIS IS!" One of the biggest things I wanted to include in this was... idk what to call it... learning in parallel? How to practice multitasking? (I personally called it mentat training) Once I started really practicing how to aim with very little attention, I realized something. When I play my best, I'm taking in more variables of my environment simultaneously. I can choose the variant of correct actions as to maximize value for the most important variables. The person I'm shooting at is most of the time the last person I'm thinking about when I'm playing well. I'll just find myself, WS strafing the dps flanking me while I try to finish off his support, and think "I've never even considered that before! When did I start doing that?" I'm currently experimenting suppressing focus, with distractions vs n+1 foci, while aim training. Though tbh, I have no idea if that's the correct pressure point to push on. Or if one can just train such a 'skill' at all. Do you have any thoughts on this concept or an approach to teaching/expressing it? ...or are the edibles kicking in? A10, why is this bag empty...

3:28 SIUUUUUUUU

I wonder if there's a way to find your own talent, or a way to discover what you really enjoy in the game. I feel like most people generally try to go with the meta and end up burned out trying to learn something unenjoyable as opposed to finding a playstyle that will keep them hooked into the game. Motivation to learn seems like the next logical step, but that may have too many external factors to consider.

I am a lost cause i cannot improve i am the lowest of the low and i have no ego anymore i accepted that i am a failure and i will never improve no matter how much i strive to do so

A10 mental is really on a different level, love this kind of mentality you carry & how you enlightened us with it as well. Keep improving! Hopefully I can climb enough to face off against you in comp 🖱️💻

My biggest issue is implementing all of the things I know in my gameplay with an active thought process, I just don’t think when I play and let my mechanics carry me mostly :(

Awesome vid as usual. Are you watching the world cup a10?

talent exists

While talent is good to have, it can sometimes make you lazy

I FINALLY GOT OUT OF SILVER AND INTO GOLD, THANKS A10!!!!!!!!!

💖

Cheater recall is a fundamental :)

The vsauce music got me

Wait you have a degree in psych? Must have been a heavy load streaming during that, big props!

Nice video but can you have gameplay as background instead?

the fucking vsauce music holy shit

im fucking lost i have no idea what im hearing and i think i cant read but great video none the less keep it up!!!

Hey I was thinking it'd be sick to make a massive guide to all the fundamental basics of overwatch. I would make it myself but I'm just not good enough at the game to know what I'm talking about

Jo Im stuck in low gm, could u make a guide for palyers like me🥺🥺

Yea ima like and comment

The experience tree sounds exactly like machine learning.

Your series is super awesome! But it also shows that there's no "casual" level possible in MP FPS games anymore (if you don't want to fight against mindless AI all the time). OW is already 6+ yrs old - you already need lots of work to even start with quick play in the lowest level if you don't have much FPS experience. But tbh I highly doubt if that many people are ready to invest 4-8 hrs a day learning strategies, tactics & skills to git gut and turn a "fun" game into a (unpaid) job. But maybe that's just me.

what was the secret again? i missed it

this is very much real

A10nerd

yo could anyone give me advice on how the ranking system works? i play support and almost every game i’m getting more damage and more heals than the other supports, sometimes even more damage than some of the dps, and i’m still not ranking up. i was stuck at gold 4 for a while, and then after 7 wins and 3 losses i’m down to silver 2. i’m a new player so i feel like there’s something i’m missing here.

The literal Michael Stevens of Overwatch ❤️!!

Hey vsauce, A10 here!

was that vsauce music lol

I didn’t know you are a graduate psychologist, damn. (Or was that kap?)

The problem I'm having is... I'm trying to learn all the heroes and so much different sensitivity I need to use to mastered them. Changing different sensitivity for some certain heroes throws me off when I hop back onto a hero I haven't played awhile. I'm in a endless vortex trying to figure out what sensitivity to use for every hero. I don't know if I should continue down this path to learn every hero and mastered them or I should just use the heroes I want to play and have fun with (I got situational heroes that I main - Widowmaker and Hanzo)

For the algorithm.

I'm going to leave an algorithm comment here.

W video

People who say this is only for low elo are so soo wrong ever since i started watching you in ow1 I’ve climbed from diamond to gm and i still dont even come close to using all of the concepts that you talk about, let alone master them

Comment for the robots

I'm just convinced I'm always gonna be hard stuck low elo. A scrub

lol this is what I do with orisa but now that they nerfed her its pointless :(

brodog

Vsauce music

jake chudnow nice

Hello😊

Ayo, wtf is that thumbnail?!

tbh i didnt understand what u were trying to say. I took nothing away from this video, I feel like it was a waste of time watching. Just my honest criticism.

😁 Ｐ𝐫Ｏ𝕞Ｏ𝓢ｍ

I love your videos but maybe you shouldn’t call yourself a psychologist unless you’re board certified.

NAH learning is for people without SKILL

This video has w rizz

Your education is a irrelevant flex that Noone is impressed. People don't improve because it's a game and they don't play for improvement but game making plays.

Talking for 6 minutes without actually saying anything meaningful is truly something . At least bad players will feel comforted and like the video.

A10. Bro. Its a bronze rank move to use WATERMARKED STOCK PHOTOGRAPHY in the first 10 seconds of your video. It screams amature and photographers have no sense of humor when it comes to copyright.

Man you are smart but please just get to the pointtt

THIS MAKES SO MUCH SENSE. this is something i would think about constantly. im someone who plays at multiple ranks across different accounts. i always wondered why i would feel like im getting outplayed by low rank players when i can very comfortably play to the same ability as my teammates when im in a game at my peak rank. i understand now, its because the low rank players dont have those developed experience trees, so when i predict them to do something smart like try to bait out my cd's i would instead die to braindead strategies because i would mistakenly assume in my head that they are just as experienced as me.
