Thought process of a Rank 1 Player in Overwatch 2 (D.va) 

"If you can avoid dying it gives a lot of advantages" This is why we watch A10

A10's tracking cured my depression and his coaching took me from Silver to Diamond

Let me know what Hero you want next - I am thinking for the next video I could tone down my commentary a little during play and get more information across with the text as saying thoughts in real-time can often leave out a lot of details. I want to try and get as many heroes as possible to help as many people as I can, much love everyone thanks for watching

This is actually really entertaining hearing this commentary. It gives a good perspective on the things that I should think about when playing to get better. I find alot of the time that I've got a head empty mentality because I feel like my thoughts cant keep up.with the game. Cheers for the video 😎

This is one of the first actual educational gameplays I’ve ever seen. This was extremely helpful even to a GM 2 Tank. Thank you A10! Love your content!

The 15-16 dps who wouldn't switch off Widow calling gg

A10 fixed my aim. I always thought aim was so complicated, but when he introduced me to the idea of predicting where the opponent will run then my aim almost instantaneously became a lot better. That’s not to say that’s every situation is predictable, but a large number of them seem to be.

I think junker queen would be a very interesting video especially due to her punishing nature and how important tempo is and pressing advantages

What makes your educational stuff stand out is its conciseness. Other cc’s tend to waffle a bit and get unnecessarily abstract but this is super good. I picked up tank, specifically dva (i one tricked her, whilst dabbling in a bit of zarya), because of you for the first time. I got placed in silver 3 (depsite being masters in other roles and going 5-0 in placements) then climbed to gm for the first time :D

I play a lot of dva with my siblings who are new to OW. this was very insightful and will help me carry a bit more when we play. they’re still so new they don’t know the maps or all the heroes yet but I see the value of safe gameplay. you spend little to no time out of your mech. I need to focus more on that, myself. thanks for posting these. 😊

Btw u helped me look at things differently and change my mindset about my gameplay which is the reason for me climbing from gold to dia

this was therapeutic to watch as a dva player. Hearing verbal explanation while inner thoughts pop up on screen is a lot to take in but I feel like that is how it should be done. The best “thought process of an ow player” video I have seen. One small critique I have is try to enunciate a bit more clearly, I understand you are in the flow of explaining but some words get lost in the sound as they are a bit mumbled. Fantastic video

the most educational style of gameplay for is exactly this. going over concepts while subtitling other mental processes. thank you very much, keep up the good content ❤️ next hero - Wrecking Ball?

Loved this video A10! Seeing theory put into practice and explained is unbelievably helpful, keep it up!

Thanks for explaining your thought process A10, this really highlights how patient you need to be with DVa a lot of the time. Super helpful!

Great guides. Definitely the most informative and we'll explained guides for overwatch I've seen on RU-vid. Please keep them coming. So many content creators make these game reviews but you do such a great job of clearly explaining your thinking moment by moment. I learn more from one of your videos than 5 from another creator.

the descriptions of each thought process is actually rly helpful for people who tend to fixtate on stuff like me. It breaks the fixation on one thing and actually makes me stay focused on everything else. This is great!

vids are super fun and thought provoking, one small gripe is sometimes it's hard to hear your voice over the gameplay.

Your though process in text is actually very useful and clear. Would like to see more of this type of videos👍

this is absolutely next level. i recently got gm5 tank but this video makes me realise i still have heaps to learn

first time seeing high level dva gameplay and i'm so impressed by the thought process that goes into the actions carried out. i rarely play tank so it's just interesting to learn.

you helped me get from silver to diamond back in ow1 in one season on dva so thankful for that glad to see ur still at it!

This is the ideal type of educational content. Seeing live gameplay and the thought process is very helpful.

beautiful vid. rlly clear and calming ngl. keep doing this kinda stuff 👍

Loved seeing this! Thank you for teaching

i need a junker queen guide like this. so informative and concise! good job!

This in-depth coaching is actually insane. Wowzerz it's like there's always something to learn in this game

Excellent and tremendously helpful video. Thank you so very much for this!

Your videos are THE reason Ive got from low gold to diamond in one season. Most top players do not give such fundamental tips that can be easily translated into your own games without much supervision and correction. The whole idea about the game revolving around space and resources was really eye opening to me, and particularly improved how I play Zarya and Rein. On a different note, I know ow2 isnt a game of Rock Paper Scissors but sometimes it really feels like it is when you're being matched with players on a similar skill level. I have tried playing dva into zarya many times, trying to take high ground, manoeuvre around to different angles to pressure their team and when the enemy isnt very confident on zarya this usually works. But I often get into situations, especially on attack, where the enemy zarya just holds their ground and isnt bothered much by whatever im doing. Their team is tight and it feels like I can't dive them if they're too close to Zarya - so I usually just switch off dva. Wondering what Im missing here

I hope you see this but can you make a video on how to play against counters to dva? Zarya, sym, mei are some of the hero’s I struggle against. Great video!

I watched the Ram video and now I'm here watching this one. Even though I primarily play damage I still feel like I have a lot to learn from these. I averaged mid masters in OW1 and am GM1 in OW2 (while I have been improving a lot, realistically I'm only GM1 because of the influx of new players inflating better players ranks), and I would love to see a video like this for your thought process on hitscan. Tracer would be interesting as well but there are already lots of resources (some of them your own) for her thought process, so it probably would not be the most valuable to make a video about it. On the other hand I see very few about cas or widow, other than just knowing how to position around your team and how long you can hold an aggressive angle for.

A handful of your vids and I finally hit Diamond after being hardstuck in plat since the game dropped. I’m even climbing and holding my own fairly well in Diamond too. THANKS A10!

I really like the on screen text commentary too. Good addition.

Climbed from Gold to Diamond in a week on Support and Open Queue, thanks A10! (Not standing out in the open and feeding was the biggest factor xD )

Once again a great thoughtful video on learning the process of holding space by doing nothing. A10 is the best.

5:28 you didn't get woken up, it's the sleep dart change on tanks.

Honestly a really great series, would love to see how you play a dive tank like Doomfist or Hammond

This is extremely helpful, thank you.

This was great! If I could make a single suggestion, adding captions to this would be wonderful because the game sounds sometimes drowns your words and I can't pick up what you've said. These tips are so helpful though, thank you so much.

wow this video is good goddamn. A10 you are something else

Bruh you are beast! Def followin your coaching.

Just started playing the game. Didn't realise so much is going on under the hood of an efficient player. Excited to learn more!

Great video! Please do more like this A10

Love ur DVa commentary. Please make more!

That was a perfect intro, so quick I love it

Very enjoyable video, thank you!

This vid slaps hard!! Gj bro

I'd like more broad ideas on a comp matchup prior to the start of the video. Been forced to learn ram and sig because it's kinda meta in OD, i'd like a video on that

This is a very helpful video thank you

OMG I LOVE A10

really good video thanks you got a new suscriber

I’m new here! Happy to have found this channel!! Are these tips and gameplay commentary given with the assumption that you’ll have at least moderate communication over voice comms? Cause my reality is almost no one is ever in voice comms. 😢

As a dva main in gm this video was a gift

Actually clear and applicable advice!

Amazing to watch! Thanks A10, your u2gm DVA video helped me get to GM on tank last season.

I'm a master 2 dva always wanted to get better, on the first minute I noticed just the game sense difference that I need for playing at top1. Thank you so much dude you earned a sub a devoted follower

As a renhardt main who wants to learn dva this is great, thank you. Please do one on rein!

This guy got great tank tips not gonna lie , very well educational stuff.

definitely appreciate having just a single game or two cut out instead of a long 2+ hour video. respects my time and I'm willing to commit to clicking the vid. I'm also gonna second the idea of doing text (or voiceover) in post instead of live commentary, it'd help a lot to make the video more dense, useful and well articulated

Very good info I liked the commentary. Sometimes in vod reviews it feels like you have too much information so seeing what you're thinking with only your POV is helpful .

Excellent commentary

I would love to see you try to do something like this with Winston, I know you don't normally play him but it would be cool to see you do this on a character that's less mechanically demanding

3:38 dang.. took me multiple rewinds before i figured out the junkrat mine blast animation + soldier's grunt told him soldier's got injured bad. no wonder i'm gold ;;

Thanks for the video, love it ! Can you do Zarya next ?

Thanks for the video.

Would love to see more of D. Va gameplay with though process

I want more of this

Very helpful, especially with micromissile usage

Instant thumbs up, I already know the content's good lol.

what a insane gameplay GG

Great tips! Although If you could contour the white text with a darker colour it'd much easier to read.

MY GOAT

I liked and subscribed this was awesome

Quick request for video editing : your voice sometimes get lost in the chaos, especially with your own character voicelines, so if you could, maybe lower the game volume (or just voicelines) or increase your mic volume that would be awesome. Great content anyways, some text overlays would be great to highlight some key concepts (a bit like in your unranked to gm intros but much more condensed). Nb: I hope you don't mind me saying all this stuff ❤

Goated player, goated vid. Ram vid next?👀

Please more, Masters 1 looking to hit GM and learning from all my resources. This is content

You didn't get woken up. Tanks now have -50% sleep duration

Algo's comment, because I'm astonished by your Dva. Maybe because I'm too low ranked (deserved) to see some good plays as this one ^^

Amazing content

5:31 didnt get woken up, took no damage. Assuming this was recorded after the patch this was the new change to sleeping tanks :)

Absolutley incredible!!! Keep it up...1 every day

Good shit mate

thumbnail says how to solo carry. if you pay attention, its a lot of teamates doing the work and him using the DVA kit to finish them off. YOUR milage may vary lol

The information density on this is insane, no really I wrote down 24 tips and tricks

Thanks!

"sometimes your team ints"... """"""sometimes"""""" If it were me, my team would have just stood out in the open at the beginning and all died one by one, because for some reason, people in plat have no idea how to play defence with no reinhardt. And then they moan about you not physically being on the payload, because they don't understand how you can make space and contest cart without being physically on it as dva.

i like so much this vid

Inner peace in this gameplay we should be more patient and not wasting all cd every seconds x)

nice decision making, more like this helps, ty

love the content! maybe do an Ana or kiriko vid sometime? Love it A10 🥰

Wow at the start I would've felt like I was doing nothing, and instead became more aggressive or tried to die on payload. I have a lot to learn for tank gamesense.

WOOOOOO!

Thank you for playing on this map on Defense. I h8 this map on Defense

Can you do one of these types of videos for either Bastion or Soujorn next? :)

I'd love to see you play doomfist. :)

10/10 video dva is a difficult hero for me because of the short range on her and I constantly feed

Your mindset video got me to diamond 3 and on the way to masters for tank. Thanks for the content dude you're an inspiration. This game is more mental than mechanical in so many ways and it's not talked about enough

I wanna see an educational Ramattra/season 4 tank just like the orisa and dva one

I start playing 3 months ago and i LOVE D.V.A, i want to be the best of the best. I started to climb from silver and recently i reach master 4 and was ''easy'', but i feel im getting worse and worse, and its not bc the elo and the players getting better, i know its me like bc i feel nervous and my''instinc'' of when to dive, when to matrix, highgrounds, etc is OFF. So the more i learned about the hero the less i felt confident with my abilities, i open another account and i was terrible. So i take a break of the game, and come back confident again and start to win a lot but... i rely in my confidence, if im not im trash, if im confident i can solocarry. I write this before watching the video and i hink its gonna be amazing! sorry for the wall text i just wanted to know if someone feels the same, i just wanted the good times with my Dva come back :(

Good vid 👍
