This Silver Rein accused their team of NOT FOLLOWING UP... Were they right? 

Thats why i always go watch my replays and critique my own gameplay.. I can admit sometimes i do miss play and it's always good to be aware of your weaknesses

Yeah honestly when you stop blaming teammates and start thinking about what you can do better, that alone will bring you up like an entire division. Of course you’re gonna get bad teammates but so will the other team, it doesn’t help at all to focus on that. I had a game the other day where my dps started getting toxic after the first 2 fights. I told him to calm down, it’s not over, we can still win, and sure enough we stabilized and then rolled them on attack and won the game.

​@@erikdayne5429guyth there ith a bit of tank diff going onth 🤓

100% the problem with the player base. They don't accept any responsibility for losses. I solo queue a lot and its rarely good. Ppl don't talk and if they do, it's not until we've won or lost. I also don't see ppl swapping much even though they aren't being productive on a certain hero. I try to pick a hero that synergizes with the team, especially the tank.

@@praetorianplays rein gigachad ,rein on top rein better rein win rein solo rein only

At some points they were so agressive that they weren't ready to follow up due to cooldowns, health, or being dead so sometimes the team should have eased off. Agressive isn't the same as being ready to follow up. A huge reason for the rest of the team being so agressive was that their tank wasn't stalling enough a lot of the time. Sometimes the rest of the team should have eased up, but a lot of the time they would have had their cooldowns if the tank was up there helping them stall.

From what I saw they were referring to a couple gravs that weren’t followed up on, but their teammates weren’t in position to follow up, so that’s the tank’s fault.

Not really a counter any more since they gave sym heal on shields

@@Tiptronics no but the tesla cannon can help 'sweep' the turrets up and deals damage through the barrier. (I also can't aim worth a damn and the tesla cannon helps mitigate that a lil bit). Plus, unlike Rein or Dva, the bubble can be deployed, has less hp for sym to leech and she has to make a choice, either attack the barrier or attack the Winton. Dva being played into Sym is a negative matchup since Matrix don't eat the beam)

Winston is still one of the better options against Sym even with her being able to charge off shields. As you said he can clear her turrets, and he can also get in, do some damage, but also get out if low HP and let the teammates finish her off. Ball also works well against Sym for the same reasons.

At least you're aware. You're supposed to only admit that hitscan people (who can aim) are sweaty tryhards and be proud you're good at junkrat. The hardest hero to master (HAHAHAHAH). But in all seriousness, yeah I'm a tank main that reached plat and went toe to toe with some masters and I would say rein is good against symm. The damage and the fact symms has to go in hard makes rein the perfect counter. Winston is ok but the low DPS isnt as good as rein. Plus monkey is dive and would be bad tactically against symms as they would be front line most of the times.

The enemy just capped the point, so now Zarya spawns back near her team, meanwhile, rein spawns miles away and has to travel across half the map.

nobody in silver is good though, if you're good you climb out of silver fast

bye

Then don’t watch…?

People always think they’re god’s gift to the game and everyone else are drooling idiots. The secret is we’re all drooling idiots.

Ow is a hard game tbf. Often hard to see that you could have done something better when there are moments where faults of your mates look much more relevant than yours.

@@zondakenthat is true but this guy would get so shit on in diamond its not even funny. This guy has dog positioning and rat ass mechanics. Not to mention his lvl0 game sense.

@@zondakenoverwatch is most definitely an easy game

@AlexisWenberg I’m aware how a fight can change because Earthshatter turned it into a 4v5, but is the term “big slam”really that technical, though? That’s basically every single shatter except for blocked and otherwise whiffed ones, and then why even have a term for it? I hear Emongg say it whenever Q is pressed at all in spectating videos where the main player picks Rein, and I don’t think he’s checking to see if at least one person got hit or killed off of it first. I say that looking at 12:40 in particular. Emongg sees the shatter get blocked and still says it, and it could be sarcasm, but I dunno.

​@AlexisWenbergno, a big slam is any slam, I'm not sure if you're new to emongg's community but yeah. you hit Q as Rein and it's a big slam. shatter a wall? big slam. get cc'd or die before the hammer even hits the ground? big slam shatter a shield? big slam shatter the whole enemy team and kill them all? equally big slam

@AlexisWenberg And with that in mind, doesn’t “big slam” then apply to every shatter, whether or not it’s a game changing or fight winning ult? Obviously there are times when the literal definition doesn’t apply, like when you shatter a wall. But in Emongg’s eyes, it’s a big slam anyway.

Yeah I’ve gotten up to diamond the last couple seasons and it’s no joke, the competition is much higher at that level. At lower levels players will just walk into a counter over and over again, in diamond they know what to swap to and they don’t hesitate to do so. It’s actually more fun if you enjoy the rock paper scissors aspect of the game.

honestly reminds me of how i was in bronze and i generally couldnt understand it (like "gold is supposed to be average, i think im average, there is no way im this bad") but upon picking the game up again i realized i had no idea what i was doing and am actually astonishingly bad at this game. unfortunately i had to uninstall because the rare moments of feeling accomplished were not worth the hours of feeling completely helpless

I was hardsruck plat 5 season ago, now I am gm 5 dps (gm 3 open). This guy definetly doenst deserve higher in some cases, but some people see themselves doing better, but ye the game changes at around diamond as the comments above say. It gets SO much more fast paced, but you'll get used to it 😊

@@erikdayne5429 the Rock Paper Scissors part of the game is insufferable. Even though I’m diamond, I might never play comp as tank again because of it.

His positioning probably looks weird af because his initial position as tank is where people would play as a backline unit when the fight starts, and he nearly always plays in the middle of the road regardless of what is going on(except when the payload forces him to move to the side)

Let me ask you a question is it fine for me to endlessly stall a choke using cover to weave in and out but never going and being aggressive. Like just swinging my hammer behind a choke and only committing if we have ults or get a pick. I wouldn't be creating a play at all only stalling

I don’t see reaction time as a big thing until diamond+ as I’m sitting at low plat/high gold but play team play against Diamonds. But ya the comp didn’t suit rien enough for max effectiveness and I agree with the rest of your points. I don’t play a lot of rien I stick mostly to Orisa, Winton, Sig, and Ram but I’d say high sliver for this guy

So what you're telling us, is that you were hard carried to Plat lmao. Because holy shit do you not know what you're talking about lmao

@@khaledm.1476 No and Yes. No: It's not ideal to stand in a choke point do to; Enemy teams Ults (Reapers, Bastion, Junk, Mei) will have a field trip with you and your team. Enemies who benefits from choke stall plays (Junk, Phara) can just spam you or anyone in that choke out or to spawn. Yes: It's good to build ult by using fire strikes, can be use if your shield breaks as a second protection....but will depend on what heroes your teams are playing. In conclusion: Is a 50-50 Gamble that revolves around; Enemies play style and heroes as well your teammates heroes

It's usually the worst players that blames others. Lack of self insight or just plain denial....

In lower elo ppl rely on that shield

@@pennywise1682 That's part of why they're lower elo.

Rein shield you must think off as a mix of zarya bubbles and sigma shield. In a sense of that it allows you to close the gap, block abilities like sleep and nade or back off/get healed through damage that would otherwise kill you. Yes you should angle your shield so that it blocks a teammate from dying whenever you use it, but it is not a shield in the sense that it stays there to block the damage for them untill it breaks. (Like orisa shield in ow1) Obviously you use it to block the damage from killing your teammates when you cross a choke but after that they shouldn't have to get shielded for extended periods of time apart from ultimates. If you think of it as a sigma shield that allows you to get closer into hit range of sigma's orbs you are basically using it the right way. I always explain it like this: Rein shield is literally part of your resources. You need it to shield yourself to get healed back up after you swing onto something. But first you must cross the gap between you and the enemy. If you use all your shield to get there you won't live after a swing because your shield hp is to low and you die. If you don't use your shield to cross the gap you die. So there is a combination between those that you need. Depending on the shield damage done and the map you can use more shield hp if there is a safe corner to recharge it. If there is not a safe enough corner to recharge your shield or hp you need to take less damage by forcing cooldowns or going a different route or setting up your team for succes while not being able to swing.

@@drakedbz true, lol

​@@drakedbzyeah cause lower elo different plays types. You notice it every time you rank up something different Perhaps that ash hitting her shots too often straight doming

Emongg is doing VOD reviews, with the whole idea being he gives feedback and tips to help them improve. Flat's spectating bronze series has never been about reviewing VODs. He's said this MANY times. They're for entertainment to roast players first and foremost. If you send your bronze game to him and are expecting constructive feedback, you can only blame yourself.

when flats can’t stop eating chicken wing flats.

@@JoaquinTheGamer-jo2ykwhat

Hahaha wow, what a terrible joke.

@@10Neon live with fear, Die with recklessness

I think you need to remove "Charges 1v5 into the backline" a scared rein would never, they would charge backwards into their own backline at 400hp.

@@KiraMahMan They always do that, you literally see it in this video as well. They shield bot then charge 1v5, they don't know they can just walk and swing their hammer

Or, learn how to play Ram as he’s much stronger than Rein right now

Well, if a dva bomb is flying at us or a Cass high noons, I sure hope the shield is for more than just Rein 😂

Or just don't pick range castrated characters on defense in a rank where nobody pushes

That's exactly how I play Sigma, except for specific instances when i need to block off a flank angle or block LOS from a sniper.

​@@erikdayne5429he ain't it's dependant on players skill and positions and comps. Yes ram is more survivable against certain comps like sym or echo but against mei I find them to be pretty even if you know what you are doing. Also rein is waay better at holding corners in comparison to ram.

I played dva on dorado and my team told me to switch because they had a zarya but the zarya did not go to the high ground so could not touch me but my echo did not follow up with me to clear the high ground and they told me to switch ahahahahaha

Okay they backed up and was a bad guy and when he goes in he is a bad guy. Your argument legit makes no sense and is not even valid. Like you can’t switch hero’s 10 seconds into the match until you die….and they switched as soon as possible. Like pipe down.

@@Mewmewiothey weren’t supposed to go in that’s why they’re the bad guy idiot. The team battle is already lost, you’re not winning a 2v5 and it also makes no sense to shoot a Zarya bubble when she isn’t even weak to kill to begin with.

Demonstrates how well they play dva…. Eating the orb is such a base level…there are plenty of dvas that will eat every orb but still don’t play her well

Moira is the easiest character to play

@@MewmewioDoesn’t have to be impressive, this guy has literally 0 awareness. Diamond to this player would be insane.

And I probably still am bad in games lmao but thats actually BS

Been a glitch for like almost a year

Maybe its just reflective of the general intelligence of the players. Maybe low rank players are really just low IQ players who are really just low IQ people generally. Someone should do a study on this to verify.

@@dash4800 i didnt want to jump to that conclusion of IQ and rank, but i feel like there could be a correlation between someones ability to learn and their ability to learn how to play video games

@@Yea___ No problem, i like jumping to conclusions.

OK 3 times in a row my teammate left mid game ggs . 5 times my dps were feeding geges . My Ana was fronting and died we lost the fight geges . Its OK tho its just a lil bit of tank diff going on 🤓

@@jawatu6326 maybe not tank diff in those instances, but if you are deserving of a higher rank these won't be issues for you. do you think enemy dps never feed? enemy never gets afk? it evens out eventually. and in lower ranks like silver, even if you are just good enough to be gold tank, you would be able to take advantage of that and not rely on your team playing well. sorry you dont wanna hear that

@soap4359 sorry bro but plat is a whole different world . As you said many times it evens out that's why you are hardstuck because you may get 5 wins and 3 losses so you will stay the same rank a lot of the time and the cycle repeats

If you should be, you would be

I stand corrected that zoning grav was huge best play for sure
