Watch This Video If You Are Serious About Improving 

"The enemy is getting stomped so hard that it makes our teammates look good." ( 9:00 ish ) This quote is so perfect and it explains so much.

Just the rule of sticking to corners and waiting for mistakes while being fine for doing nothing is great. It makes my matches much more enjoyable and much easier to observe the situation.

Another classic a10 banger. HIGH QUALITY MOVIE LEVEL EDITING. INSANE. much love a10

one of the greatest minds in gaming imo

5:22 I struggle with this. I keep getting antsy that nothing is happening, so I make risky rotations and flanks to try and force something to happen.

your Zarya guides in OW 1 were awesome (and somehow still come in clutch for OW2), glad to see you going strong!

absolute banger video! youre a really good at explaining these concepts. In OW1 your content helped me to go from Silver to Diamond on Tank! im looking forward to have a coachingsession with you

I happen to stumble upon one of your older videos talking about corners and such and I’ve been using it a lot lately and today I hit GM for the first time on support. Anyway I just want to say keep up the good work and thankyou for the educational content!

I can't say this enough, I am so incredibly grateful for having found your content. I have played shooters for several years now, and I love them. I have always struggled with them though and I've had to claw my way to being slightly above average. I come from a sports background and in every sport I've learned there has been a set of fundamentals that one can develop that are the building blocks of being a good player in a particular game. This is made the path to being good at any particular sport fairly straightforward. I've always known that my inability to excel at first person shooters had less to do with my potential and more to do with wasted effort and a lack of understanding of the fundamentals of the game. Corners/Cover vs. Open space and Resources are the little pieces of information that I have been lacking. Like, obviously I had the concept of cover, and an awareness around my cooldowns, but framing it all together into a set of things that are actually kinetic, simple, and sensible is going to elevate my game in all the shooters I play. The 'good positioning' that I have been trying to reify in-game is just a conscientious push/pull, where you push to take an enemy corner when you have a resource advantage, and fall back to a previous corner when you are down resources so that the enemy team must cross open space to reengage you. That is as simple as 'play is at first' or 'three point shots have higher expected value'. I can SEE that.

Bro this is one of the most well done, well-edited videos you've made to date! Super clean man!! 👏🙌🤘

I love how supportive and patient you are

Love the educational videos A10, pls keep it up.

A10 i try to spread the word about your content everywhere!!! These videos are free SR for anyone who watches them. The way you clearly and simply explain some of the most complicated topics in Overwatch is amazing!!! Truly the best. Truly deserves all the views and I hope others find you. Amazing amazing educational content. I’ve gone up 2 whole divisions since I started watching LAST MONTH! Thank you for your vids!!

An absolute gem of a human. Giving selflessly to everyone. Much love A10. I sincerely wish you the best in your overwatch and personal life

hey A10 awesome video as always, love the more psychologic stuff your last vids are into btw are u thinking about doing some merchs ? i would definitely buy some

Thanks a10. You did a great job explaining on this video quickly and precisely 😊

Thank you. I'm an OW2 newbie. This content is gold. Subbed. Hopefully, I'll hire your coach services, but I want yo keep getting hands-on experience first. I'm from México so idk if that'll be a problem with the connections and stuff, so yeah! Anyhow! Thx for the content

this video is so well done, GJ !

I have to say I'm very impressed with your approach, I watched and took note from one of your other vid, and noticed an almost instant improvement, but still lapse back to old habits especially when I get flustered. I think I might look at coaching later down the line. as I'm still new to ow and FPS in general.

Thank you! I learn something new with every video.

Keep up this content quality and you'll be the top OW channel in no time. Amazing stuff. Sharing it with friends.

Very cool video! As a new player I think some in-game examples of some of the concepts would have been very helpful but apart from that it was great!

Man, hands down your'e one of my favorite creators. Not Ow related, but do you have any book recomendations? Ilove your mindset.

amazing content!

A10, you're awesome! Keep it up!

Hey A10! Im new to OW started on release and am already on masters 1 dps because of your videos thanks man.

A10 your videos helped me more than paid coaching

8:50 The same thing happens in every game, even in chess. If you look at a chess speedrun people say all the time "those 1200s dont play like my 1200s. They're so bad. Even I could win that game." imo its a combination of two things: when you play patiently and don't make a mistake for long enough, eventually someone will do something stupid. Either because they got impatient, or because their natural playstyle and habits will present an opportunity that they did not think was punishable. This makes them look like a feeder by comparison the second thing is is being able to notice and punish mistakes better than someone of a lower rating. in that chess example, the people in chat say they would have won that game, but the reality is they would not have identified nearly as many weaknesses, and they would have presented quite a few of them on their own. in chess they say it's all about consistency and habits. OW is the exact same imo.

Much love ❤

one of my favorite overwatch content creators bro ur so underrated

amazing edits

Damn this made a lot of sense

I love A10’s content

Good luck on your coaching gig bro, I recommend thumbtack (assuming ur in the US) since fiverr is too saturated. I would recommend ur coaching to players who are too busy to try and learn the game using youtube video tutorials although they are sufficient, having a coach similar to other sports is still a better and much more efficient.

I love you i went from high diamond to top 500 at tank all beacuse you helpwd me ❤️

The video we all needed

This is one of my biggest issues with OW, is that these fundamental and core concepts to improving at and understanding the game are never taught to you directly. You pick up on the concepts after playing for a while, but they are never stated directly. I’ve been playing for 6 years and only recently I learned through RU-vidrs such as A10 the concepts of space, corners, and resources to win games. I think if these were taught through some tutorial it would give newer players a better leg up in not feeding or trashing others. In death match games like COD it’s simply more kills= win. Not necessarily true in Overwatch

2:38 "Mundo goes where he pleases"

you make badass high quality OW videos, bro

What to even say about this? Stunning way to put it & soooo clear.

Top tier editing 👏

these videos are so good dude

I like the legends of runeterra art in your thumbnail, fan of the game and your content

This is a certified A10 banger

Solid

Sadly as someone remarked in a game last night - “I just wanna have fun with a silly video game”. While F2P was necessary for the games survival, it’s led to a sea of “idc” types who play like zombies.

My favorite OW youtube channel

Such a good video!

the flow and transition in your videos are really really good. mind bendingly good. Mmmmm

dude mind fucking blown

We love A10

This requires a good amount of gamesense to be able to do... But sometimes you can be the one who baits enemies into making a mistake by making a calculated overextension, and then falling back to your team so the enemy chases you. I do this sometimes as Ana, enemies will chase me when I'm half hp, thinking they can confirm the elimination... But I'm actually just luring them into our backline so the team can chew them up like wolves :)

could this be the reason why i always have the most damage, heal or kills but also nearly every game the most deaths? great video really helped me to see the game in like a 2D way and break it down a bit, Thanks

I’m starting to have a good understanding of space, but I’m not sure how well I can apply it on hanzo

good edit

You make great videos

Nice legends of Runeterra art!

Something that is now holding me back is the question: why do i even want to rank up?

Hi A10. I had my best realization tonight that game flow can pretty accurately be likened to the flow of a river. The amount of resources available can be visualized as pressure from a river; the more resources the enemy has, the greater the force of the river, and the greater danger we are in. The less resources they have, the lesser the force of the river. Having game sense is being able to constantly measure the game river.

Does this all also apply to a tank because I thought they had to soak and mitigate damage

THE EDITING!!!

What's the league cutscene from lol

Hey A10! your educational u2gm and other improvement made me able to climb from silver 1 to gold 5! thanks A10 maybe one day i will reach plat

mundo goes where he pleases

This man is basically teaching a class about ow and I’m for it

How do I do it?

I love playing Zenny because I orb the target who's the most valuable target in team fight or needs to be push down

If anyone wants to know, the cinematic is Infiltration

Interesting.

My team on attack love to stand in open space at a choke point to shoot and carry on taking dmg to waste my healing resource when most of the team are respawning 🙄 I would be out of heal by the time we push ffs. And then team on defence often make pointless over extend into enemy spawn for the at extra kill end up getting them or the team killed when we have advantage of the point to begin with

How do i do it?

I’m gonna be brutally honest here. And I know it’s from a lack of understanding, I’m still on the path to improvement and I can only keep learning. That being said… This game is entirely dependent on the tank. If my tank sucks, there’s no space for me as DPS to really work with. I don’t want to rely on my team, but sometimes it’s outright unavoidable. I don’t know what I’m supposed to do.

Wat to do if enemy dont make erros.

I knew I had a fundamental misunderstanding of the game given my consistent mediocre results being stuck in mid elos it was rule number 2 I either tried to force the issue to gain an advantage to take space but this is the wrong approach. I also need to look around to assess teammates and resources to know when to back up to a safe corner or full reset.

when overwatch falls off one day i hope this guy takes up a new focus because this skillset is invaluble

how do i do it?

how can I apply these tips to kiriko or mercy gameplay? (kiriko priority please!)

And now with life weaver you can literally control your teammates XD

6:11 chazm on junkrat???

The reason why the smurf is usually on the other team is because of odds and math. If you are not a Smurf than you have 4 chances to get a Smurf while the other team has 5 chances. So in 20 games you’ve had 80 chances to get a Smurf and the enemy team has had 100. 20 more chances than you. Those odds get even worse for groups. It’s a small chance difference but those chances even out over time. If you are a Smurf however you get a smurf on your team 100% of the time and you still get 4 chances for another.

Liked before the video even started during the unskippable ads

Holy shit your subscriber count exploded

I can read the text at 3:25 lol

That thumbnail tho 😳

I tried using this guide on Genji and it didn't work, but then I used it on Orisa and carried the whole game.

i want a a10 body pillow

So, as a bronze support, I should poke more and healbot less? This is essentially my takeaway from it lol.

godtier thumbnail

You said "so will the enemy", but it was the only sentence without subtitles so I had to rewatch it a few times. General feedback: please make the subtitles for the most important things you say

Kinda glad you changed the thumbnail etc, it wasn't too catchy. I still started watching (had to stop but now continued). The thumbnail didn't feel ow related so I was even wondering if it's an ow related video at first. I think having something in your thumbnail that is catchy and still ow related.

Okay so how do I influence my widow who is 1/14 to get off widow because she's making the game a 4v5? Or my Junkrat who keeps dying to Pharah and won't swap?

ill make of you GOlD of this game! Nice

Noone ever used fancy tactics in every climb video. They just win everythimg by pure mechanical skill advantage.

is it possible to climb solo queing

This game only makes sense to me when I'm stoned. I've had some amazing games while stoned.

still stuck in bronze 5

poggers

notification gang!

Can’t do that with bronze players and I’m trying to carry brain dead people and getting 60+ kills per game still can get out of Bronze for some reason and it says better than 100% of players in this rank idk what I’m doing wrong

"Your role isn't holding you back" Mercy onetricks: 🤔
