Most folk from non-hots mobas want a hand hold. If they do well, they want it to personally translate to them being dominant. But the game requires you to do more than have a good kdr. I enjoy winning games when the enemy has a genji with 20/0 for ratio. You can't just be a good mechanical player yourself, you have to be a communicator, you have to be able to see the game at large... Carrying is not getting kills, it's knowing what you're doing beyond getting kills. Some of the best players i know are specialists, and even if they aren't always playing one, they're using that knowledge they have to make calls and non-flashy plays and that ultimately win games. If you beat a team who has more kills than you, save the replay and watch it, because somewhere, somehow you were doing something right. One day with practice, hopefully you won't be dying in team fights and just as long as you have the other knowledge, you'll do fine.

As someone who occasionally leads the team. I can tell you. It helps about 70% of the time(the 30% is people who just dont care\pay attention,or think they know better). The problem is that its WAAY to much work. For christs sake, i just want to have a team that knows what to do so i can enjoy the game. When i have to lead it makes the game not fun. Games shouldnt be like this, it SHOULD match me with people of similar skill.
@sophiejones7727
4 жыл бұрын
@@bobedwards8896 you are asking the impossible. The game cannot match you with players of similar skill because all the heroes are different. Skill with one hero, does not necessarily translate to skill with another one. You can of course tell who is more experienced by their account level, but even high level accounts might well be picking up a new hero for the first time (and therefore that player's skill will be much lower that you'd expect). Any multiplayer game needs to have some level of asymmetric design, otherwise it will be mechanically boring. If every team member can use all the same abilities, then the number of situations the game can put you in to challenge you is limited. HotS of course does have a high level of asymmetric design, more than many other games. Asking the developers to only place you with teammates who are at your skill level is simply not realistic. But what can you do? You, after all, don't enjoy leading the team. Well, you can do one of two things. Either 1) stick to heroes who can just do their own thing. Kerrigan, Murky, Zagara, Illidan, Rexxar, Li-Li, Samuro, Zul'jin, Sylvanas etc. You don't have to care much about what the rest of the team does, just do your job (solo lane, take camps, gank over-extenders) well, and you will improve the game for everyone else. No one will expect you to make calls, or respond to them. 2)ask another player to make calls, and respond when they do (even if you think it's not a good one). Any team with a leader is going to be better than a team without a leader. If you don't want to be the leader, then designate someone else as the leader. If you're a natural follower, acknowledge that about yourself and ask someone else to lead you. If you find a good leader, friend that person and try to play when they do as much as possible. The game actually makes it pretty easy to find the natural leaders, because there are heroes who basically require that. You can't exactly avoid being team leader if you play Abathur. Anyone who plays Auriel will WANT to be team leader, because she depends on her team to have any impact at all. Varian's level 1 talent choice sets the entire tone of a game, so any Varian player wants to control the game. Valeera or Nova will want to make calls, because she's at her most effective when her team follows up. Leoric wants to make calls because his effectiveness also depends heavily on his team. Uther, Tassadar and Tyrande can't help but lead their teams, without even making calls. Alexstrasza will want to make calls, because she needs to be really careful about when she sacrifices her health. Johanna will want to lead her team, because she has no escape from a teamfight gone sideways: so she'll want to prevent that from happening. Fenix is not terribly effective, and very likely to feed, if his team isn't on the same page as him: so he'll want to make calls. Kael'thas needs to set up plays in order to keep up with damage. Malfurion needs to precast his heals, so he'll want to make calls. Medivh wants to use his portals efficiently, so he'll want his team to follow his lead: and he's probably by the far the hero most equipped to lead because of his scouting ability. Other heroes are natural followers: Anduin, Artanis, Jaina, Brightwing, Qhira, Kharazim, Sonya, Kel'thuzad, Lt. Morales, Lucio, Lunara, Diablo, Chen etc. These are heroes who actually do better when they're responding to what is happening. They have the kit to turn situations around, to react to changing circumstances and to follow through on set ups. They can't really set up plays on their own, but they are very effective at responding to plays their allies set up. They don't want to or aren't really equipped for making calls, but they need to listen carefully to the calls going out. If you want to make it extra clear that you're not interested in making calls, then main one of these heroes.

Don't ask questions like "how do I get the job?" or "how do I get the girl?". Instead, ask questions like "who do I need to be for that employer to want to hire?" or "how do I become the guy that that girl would want to date?" The second set of questions require you to change much more about yourself.

Ive been doing this from the first game in played in Hots. Communicating, leading, watching replays to analyse games searching where to improve. If you are in gold or above, yeah peeps listen; at that point, players understand game mechanics to a certain extant, but i find a lot of people being uncooperative from the set on, for example, telling you just to shut up or stop telling me what to do sort of thing. Its from the draft. I only played 1 season on ladder. Im my first 4 placement games, in 2 games, team did not want to pick a tank, and in the 2 other, they didnt want to pick healers. In all 4 games, i was either 1st or 2nd pick. ended up starting with 4 losses and sort of felt a wall made by attitudes. Yes, being internal locus a correct approach but its not just about that single handed.

I'd say you're absolutely right. But I'd also guess that, just on the statistical side of things, one of those players is eventually going to listen to you. And then when there is that one guy who attentively soaks up what you say, what will you say? "fukin pick a tank but ehh nobody ever does that cuz evry1s a noob fuk dis if u dont support well lose this is elo hell fukin friend zone omg" Or rather: "I feel good about this. We only need one beefy tank to secure our victory. I will keep you alive and we'll dominate the objective." Of course you do not expect one of them to suddenly pick tank. But every once in a while, someone does. It IS frustrating but I mean, how many Russian children under the age of 10 can there be in the world? You WILL find the other dude who also thinks he's totally alone. And it's beautiful when it happens.

I've peaked at d4 a couple of years back. I stopped playing until last October. I always had this mentality (even if sometimes i get pissed) but i always knew that i had to do things on my own. The thing is, i can't anymore. I got the mechanics, i play the right heroes, i go for the camps when i have to, i know how to play the maps, and i do speak with the team. Nothing works. Ever. Theres constantly someone dying so i have to get the xp, but when i get the xp people engage. Chat doesnt work, no one ever listens. Theres also the 5 man smurf teams which is incredibly frustrating to play against and it completely kills the will to play. The more i play, the more i get the feeling that climbing is luck based untill you're like p4 or p3, where people actually grasp some of the game and your actions actually matter.

Best 'gaming' video I've ever seen - 100% I was so emotionally invested in gaming 2 years ago, unhealthily so. I stopped gaming and began pursuing personal development and in that time started a company and began feeling my life align with a purpose. I've recently returned to gaming and MY GOD the difference in my mentality is apparent in every way. I used to be stuck in bronze in every game, always. Now my mechanics are worse, I don't practice as much, I don't know anything about the metas, but my mentality is completely different after these 2 years and day before yesterday I began playing HOTS again and placed in Bronze then climbed all bronze and got to Silver 1 in a day, winning all games played but 2. Skill and mechanics has nothing to do with it. Before I was a toxic child in an adults body, and now I understand that I can control everything myself. This comment is about as long as the video itself and probs won't be read haha, but damn. Hadda share, this is all just too true.

So grateful for this, man, and you have a beautiful voice :) And it is awesome how you never burn losing fights or teammates, it is so... (sorry i'm really going wet when i admire people, i shall not continue) could i please ask you to maybe work on the playlists on this channel? I could call "beginner and ability hero guides" (on ability i mean videos where you do a tip on how to use a single ability, like the azmo Q quest guide or the medivh portal spacebar advice), "master hero guides" (with replays or video of your play), "tips and tricks" and "patches, reworks". This would've been really helpful for you have a really huge amount of videos, some of which unfortunately i won't watch simply because of situations like "i'm not interested in 2 y.o. rework because this hero was patched 3 times after that"... And yes most certainly i'd love to watch videos with psychological advices from you :) if you have any except this one, could you probably link them? Thank you so much for making such a great content on this channel! Your records learned me a lot, and not just about hots gameplay, some heroes and stuff - this is kinda secondary for me. But your attitude and personality teaches people (at least me) how to be in a right mood, think of your mistakes, encourage, support and bring something of yourself to community you're dedicated to, and to humanity in the first place. You're a real sunshine for them around you, the one i'm just dreaming to become.

Hey appreciate the psychological breakdown. It was very helpful and certainly the concepts are very useful in many ways that you brought up. While listening I was thinking about how there must be a balance with the locus of control perception because life does have so many elements that are outside of your control so it’s important to not loose sight of that too. Someone who looks inward only could quickly fall victim to always blaming themselves for everything when it’s really not necessary. Internal locus of control is certainly the way to go but at some point we also need to respect what’s happening externally so we don’t conflate and confuse our perception and wrongfully accusing ourselves ultimately leading to more suffering. Finding that balance is so important so you can see the world for how it truly is and then react to it. Good video, keep it up!

The most important roles that take the highest iQ are healer and tank. Just to simplify heroes in my own way a Bronze Genji can be as good (mechanically) as a Grand Master Genji but... When the bronze wipes the enemy team they go do a camp waste 30 seconds then the enemy team reapawns and defends the camp a grand master will wipe the enemy team and go for the core. Very iQ based game as well as impact level. Ive seen many grand masters suck mechanically but they are smart enough to get by

I get what he's saying, but for most of this community, there is just no saving it. When 4 of your teammates are constantly ignoring the enemy healer and DPS, and instead focus on the tank, Johanna, each die 9 times, and wonder why you lost, you've really got to wonder if there is any saving / carrying most of these teams. You can have all of the kills, none of the deaths, and still, not stand a chance of winning. That's just the way the game is fundamentally designed, where an individual can bring a team down, but an individual cannot CARRY a team, due to the shared XP pool.

Be more specific. Tell them when you see they are about to die uselessly. Ping retreat when it's time to leave. Put "care" in chat if you see your team heading for danger. If you're playing support, you will automatically know when a fight is going sideways well before anyone else does. Remember that. A tank will think everything is fine as long as s/he's at full health, a dps will think everything is fine until the tank turns around. Only you know that you're about to burn all your mana, or that your energy bar is not filling up. Say "leave" in chat, or in voice chat. Ping retreat until the tank turns around. Let your team know that something is wrong, don't assume that they know. Remember that most of the time people don't feed on purpose. They are oblivious, inexperienced, mis-clicking, laggy or distracted. If you assume that people are assholes, all you're doing is stressing yourself out.

I think that it takes a while to understand this. Playing a strong tank like ETC or a strong bruiser like Leoric makes this more clear because they can 1v2 which allows for set ups and also when you are completely overpowering people even when you're outnumbered, your team will begin to have faith in you as it transitions to the lategame and this is when you can mount a huge comeback because players tend to gravitate towards trying to follow up on their strongest teammate. If you outplay people even when your teammates are feeding early, they will often observe your logic and you can psychologically empower your teammates by making set ups easier for them. Zone out the healer, or anchor 3 enemies away from their fellow divers. If the 2 divers are still winning against your 3-4 teammates, race back to them ahead of the enemies and finish off kills before the enemy team can regain their formation

Bro this is the problem that so many people have with "carrying". Carrying implies youre doing it without needing your team. Youre not carrying these people by basically teaching them how to play every single match. Not for nothing, why do I need to tell other people when to camp or to even camp? Why do I constantly need to help people with their positioning or when to clear lanes or come to obj, etc etc etc. Im trying to play to enjoy myself and win games and Ive tried helping people but then someone doesnt listen, starts flaming, throws the game and it gets harder and harder to keep a positive attitude. Lets say they listen but miss half their abilities or use them when they shouldnt. Now Ive gotta explain to them how to use their abilities? How do you explain to someone how not to miss everything? I get it, it takes a constant positive attitude, some carry heroes, some flexing, and a little teammate cheer leading to consistently win. But my god is it frustrating in anything under plat. And its a little misleading to say youre carrying them when really youre telling them how to play game after game.

I dont see how blaming yourself for everything and pretending like its your fault because you could potentially have done more is helpful. Evaluating yourself is great but you should do it honestly. If you are the guy thats doing overtime and coming to work early and taking on extra projects, etc etc etc and you get passed up for a promotion because the other guy has been there longer, even though hes the type that doesnt answer his phone or do extra shifts, you have a right to be irritated. And we can go back and forth, life isnt fair and Im not saying give up but maybe you start looking for another place to work? Maybe you try to find friends in hots that arent complete morons and listen? Maybe you switch to heroes that actually can carry fairly well and stop tanking/healing for people who are clueless? Ive had games where Im top in the game in every stat and I got almost all of our camps myself and weve lost because people refused to play right. They didnt listen to pings, they chased for kills, they died trying to go 1v5, etc. Why should I blame myself when I tried to tell them what to do and I played very well?

Just to give some more background: My mind gets tired like a muscle when it's overworked and all of my cognitive functions decrease. At first it can't be noticed, but after a while it's so severe that I can hardly think. I know not many suffer from this, otherwise people would understand what I'm talking about.

Great life advise but on the hots topic, what you are saying is that you can HELP carry a team, when people say that you can't carry in hots (i think) they are talking about the heroes themselves being not that strong individually, except for a couple broken characters, mostly mages, you will almost never instantly blow up another hero like you can in LoL, Dota or Smite, you can make picks, great calls and all you said in the video but in the 3 games i mentioned before, you can make plays by yourself and in hots it's really rare for something like that to happen. To use the example you gave with Garrosh, he goes in, gets the flip, stun, his team misses everything and he ends up dying with the first guy getting out, sure that will most likely happen in all mobas but in hots all you can do is set up the play and hope the others follow through, you will never be able to 1 v 5 like a carry in LoL can.

This is so true, people think that you need to kill each and every hero on the enemy team in order to carry, and every teammate is pulling them down. If only One player in the team takes initiative and commands, just follow him and you'll win, you can be That player every game. Talk and ping all you can

When a Hots tutorial becomes a life tutorial, you realize that the guy who's making the tutorial is an interesting person too! You're perfectly right about that, and I'll make some friend see your video also if they're not Hots players xD It would be interesting to know how our world would be with more internal-locus-of-control men!!! And btw, an internal-locus-of-control life is in my opinion a more interesting and provocative life too.

i think the big issue is that carrying in Mobas has a different meaning than how you use it. Carrying in other moba's normally has to do with getting fed and having so much late game scaling that you can 1v3. Some heroes are even designated carries DESIGNED to have such good late game scaling, especially if fed, that they can literally carry games by just being really strong. The carrying term you use is more like being a team leader. Shot calling, encouraging communication, trying to state strengths/weaknesses so your team has a good idea of what they can and cannot do, etc. It's still great and I love doing it as well but it's not quite the same as typical MOBA carrying.

Not unless you can literally carry the entire team by winning the game - basically without them. Notice that the characters people refer to as being a "carry" is very rarely support, and the few times that it is, its a support character without any focus on actually supporting.

This is superb material. Thanks for all the work and videos you've put in cause it's very appreciated. In regards to this and your suggestion of "make shot calls", riddle me this: what if nobody goes on team voice? xD Just a bit of a joke but the sad truth. I'm in plat and I always begin the game cheerily and suggest "team voice? comms?" yet more than half the time I'm talking to myself or just 1 person. Sure, I still try to communicate with pings but voice shot calling is 100% better than pings by experience.

I just had a game with a spanish speaking yrel player. I tried to communicate but it was impossible he didn't speak a word english and ignored pings. So he stayed mid the entire game, he died 11 times in 15 minutes. I tried to compensate the xp loss by going solo lane but it was a lost cause. What can I do in such a scenario? Blame myself on top of him using his only english to make the other players report me for being a diablo noob at the end of the game? Besides this at my MMR communication is 9/10 ignored or not taken seriously.

I'm pretty sure the old term of a 'carry' character was one that was weak early but very strong late, the team carried that character and boosted them so that they were getting levels and not risking deaths until that character became powerful enough to carry the team in teamfights. hots has some characters a little like this, but only where they have a special mechanic for it because of the group levelling aspect. Butcher spring to mind. But its not quite to the level of those other mobas.

I really love your attitude and shared it before. Focusing on myself to spot my mistakes instead of blaming others tought me a lot! Can you provide your method to deal with toxicity though? Not letting things become too personal by ignoring or tolerating, but also not denying and escalating. I don't know how to deal with flatly wrong accusations and "chat battles". I'm cool until people straight up lie to my face.

Don't join voice comms, unless you want to be cursed at by a 12 year old. Keep team chat off while in silver and gold, unless you want to be cursed at by a 12 year old. Best bet is to pick a character who does the most damage, and go with that.

I think the frustration is that people expect the ranking and MMR system and matchmaking to put them on teams of equals. Reality is that its not equals specifically because in HOTS its very easy for a single player to throw and its easier to get carried than it is to carry. Much as in real life there are many more followers than there are leaders and the mechanics of the game lend towards games where the team with less bad players wins. Even when you play amazing there's at least 1-2 people on your team that you're giving a carried win to who don't deserve it and are setting up someone else for a bad game by pushing them up the ladder. It's just how this game is designed and representative of the massive skill and knowledge differences there are between the vast majority of players who will never watch a video like this and those that do. So you can say "if master is your ultimate goal, it's achievable" and you're not wrong but for those of us who want to play on a game of equals where their teammates have roughly as much knowledge and skill as they do there's only one option and it's team league.

In practice this is how this works. You get on team A and carry them to a win. You get on team B and carry them to a win. Then the bad players from Team A and Team B get onto the same team with another player and now that player is stuck with 4 bad players that shouldn't really be there and shouldn't be on their team. This is because unlike chess and even League of Legends your rank is much more loosely correlated to your 'true skill'. Over a long enough period of time you will climb if you're better than the average of your team but we can debate whether or not it's fun or appropriate to grind 500 games to push yourself forward. So how do you fix this? You fix it by having more opportunities for people to outplay other people. In HOTS this could be from never ending quests that reset on death (the Alarak approach) or shorter fights where you can more rapidly kill off the enemy team when they make mistakes (the Genji approach) or you fix it by removing a lot of the responsibility from the matchmaker (clans, more rewards for team league, so on - remove the matchmaker from the equation as much as possible). The way this game is designed I don't think it's possible to be fun in a solo queue so they should stop promoting solo queuing and reinforce the idea that this game is only fun when you're in a premade.

I have a direct question @NotParadox. I am a tank main, I have mastered almost every hero in the game and have a positive winrate. I have had a lot of people however criticize my aggressiveness when playing tanks. My excuse here is that i "aim to create a zone of respect" when playing most tanks. Once I see the caution set in, I utilize this to bait people into a false sense of security mid to late game. I don't die or cost objectives, but I utilize psychological tricks to make people want to kill or focus me down even into traps. IS this not something that occurs at all levels of play? Is plat plus just people playing super passively? I have always felt that strategically you shouldn't be predictable and make people uncertain of your intentions no matter what RTS you are playing. I was hoping to hear your thought on hyper aggression, baiting and taunt play.

agree, however the one thing this video does not talk about is personality types. One of the reasons why currently with voice chat you get 5 people joining and NO ONE talking is introverted people that do not like to talk or lead. And unfortunately in heroes to climb/carry you do in a sense need to have that type A personality to lead a team to win.

That's not carrying. Carrying is winning a game alone despite your allies being afk/feeding/horrible etc. If I were to use percentages, carrying would be that you are 100% responsible for the win. In HotS you cannot be more than 30-40% responsible for the win. Even playing with a healer that's not carrying. YOU are NOT carrying. You AND the healer ARE carrying. You might be playing excellent and helping your team get the win but that's a team effort and not yours alone. It actually IS impossible to carry in HotS.

I love this video as far as the HotS AND the life lesson, but I have a concern. I’m stuck in Silver, and often times, I attempt to make calls to my teammates, but they don’t listen to or respond to what I say. And in the worst cases, they tell me about how I’m being “sweaty” even though I’m just trying to climb in ranks, something I enjoy. Even when I do something as simple as calling for a retreat, one or two continue to stand and poke 4 or 5 of the enemy heroes, and then they just get jumped on and killed. Or sometimes I’ll tell my team to soak because we’re currently at a talent disadvantage, sometimes a heroic one. But what they do is attempt to team fight, and they just die because you can rarely do team fights at a full talent disadvantage. So what can I do to climb when my teammates don’t listen? I’d love an answer, and thank you in advance.
