Best tip was just accept whatever happens in ranked. Your rank will come as long you’re steadily improving mechanically and learning more and more characters. Just have fun!

Probably one of your best videos. I made this flip in mindset a month or so back and the climb steadily came

You had me from point 7 brother. Mechanics DO matter and I’m sick of hearing GMs say mechanics don’t matter then show their unranked to GM and it’s constant “yeah sorry that was mechanics. Don’t know what else to tell you” Also the Smurf point is so true. We had a Cass pop off one game. Literally called “papa Smurf” 🙄 we threw bastion and sombra into him, our Ana used all her resources on him first before anyone else and I was JQ just holding the corner and pushing the tank back over and over and we just absolutely exploded him every time he came into our LOS and the team wasn’t good enough to deal with us just bullying their star player

Just started OW2 once it hit Steam, and I’ve put in over 100 hours on mystery heroes. It has helped me to relearn some of the reworked characters from OW1, learn the newer characters, and just generally get a better feel for maps and movement in general.

Agree with the social part it just sucks that ALOT of people just dont even try anymore since there are so many toxic weridos that just make people instantly leave VC ect.

On Smurfs, I actually recently came across a couple players with multiple smurf accounts. I got hit up by someone I played with before who was looking for a good vibe and their two friends were a bit higher in rank, and as we all played together the one who initially invited me kept getting to where they could not play with the rest of us, so the other two (a couple) were swapping down to lower rank accounts so we could keep playing. I still am not sure how I feel about it in terms of 'but its a smurf account', but the guy was right: it was a GREAT vibe we had going on, win or loose. It was very fun and I'm glad we were able to do it, and it did show the other, more positive side of having a smurf account, to just have fun with your friends.

Coach every time I watch you videos I think that you have wayyy larger of a following. The quality of these videos are so good and I’m sure you’re gonna keep growing

This was an awesome video. Lots of universal truths in it. On that last point, I always think of "doing something ironically, is still doing the thing" lol. Happy grinding everyone!

So far, relaxing has helped me a lot. I always saw the deathcam and they looked so chill recking me while I panicked hahaha

3:57 I do agree however I play a LOT of tracer and sometimes I feel like I’m forced to switch against very specific comps. (Tracer can be played in like almost every situation on any map) however if I am playing against pharah mercy echo it’s like bro I can’t counter the enemy dps at all as tracer because she is a close range hero and they are all up in the sky, so I feel like im forced to switch to soilder or ashe to counter the flyers. It also depends on if my other dps on my team is playing something that can counter the flyers, in that case I wouldn’t be forced to switch but if I’m tracer and my dps teammate is on another close range hero then it’s like I’m just forced to switch unless my tm8 dps does….

Love your last tip about being your best self, could apply it and should apply it to so many other things I do in life. Thanks mate

Hard stuck Masters 2 on console. I’ve noticed a majority of GM/top 500 console players are Ximming and I can’t climb anymore because of the the mechanical advantage. Any tips? I’ve tried mastering less mechanical hero’s (Rein, Ram, Sym, Mercy..etc)

You can ping an enemy and it will show you how far away you are from them. Helps to make sure you're close enough.

Your commentary on swapping characters a lot and trying to counter pick was a tough pill to swallow but very important

Just have fun and improve thy self each match as long as you are getting slightly closer eventually you will be at the top. Comparing your own journey to others is unfair to yourself, the human mind is so incredibly complex that no two humans are the same. Trust me, you will get better. Take your improvement with pride.

Focus on the journey, its so important to not focus on end results. Losing is a great learning experience like mentioned here and I believe in everyone of us

Playing mystery heros was thr best thing I did for learning how to play. You learn how all the heros works and you have to keep trying even if you're getting countered. I'm an older female player so I am not sure I can even improve on mechanics anymore. Also, finding anyone to play with is really difficult. So, I think platinum is going to be the best I'll get to.

he lost me at “idc if your teammate was AFK, find something YOU could have done better” yeah I should have una lived myself sooner

Love your videos coach mills! I played against you a couple months ago on colosseum push map tracer 1v1! Was fun, you added me!
