At 3k hours in comp and they're stuck in gold, I don't wanna hear anything about it being the team's fault

Emongg, your replays reviews and spectator vidoes are the only ones I watch anymore. You dont rewind and slow mo painfully often like other OW creators. Just wanted to say I appreciate it.

It was so hilarious with emongg on the greenscreen talking about reaper gameplay and the reaper gameplay from 8:10 on was pretty much the exact same thing!

"he doesn't FEEL like the tankbuster he used to be"
Yeah. as an old reaper main (admittedly i wasn't amazing at the game, but tanks were never a threat) i can fully say half the time a tank does a better job busting tanks than reaper does. like from my experience in modern overwatch(2), the tanks do more to other thanks than reaper does. Not to mention it seems like alot of characters have buffs that just chew through reaper now.

4:32 I think that Reaper is absolutely a menace if you play him like a tracer/moira, so don’t frontline and instead revel in your immense flanking damage up close (highest kill potential, so they will have to focus you) Wraith is on a short CD and can CD trade for nade, sleep, suzu, or bap CD’s for example. Use TP to get behind them when they are focused on the main fight, and drop on someone, shoot 3 shots point blank and wraith out. Repeat until you kill or get ult. He can 1v1 with wraith form, can’t get 2 shot body shot by kiri or illari, ult combos well with mauga and orisa which are meta, he just sucks at going first and can be punished for not having good timing, like any high skill flanker type character (Genji, Tracer, Sombra, Ball)

Damn, 3000 hrs, that insane to think about in perspective. I taught myself a second language with time, and it felt like it took a very very long time.

Emongg is so nice man, gotta have a heart of gold to not even smile watching that Tracer gameplay

For their aim they definitely would benefit from hard practicing tracking, because right now with 3k hours they still have basically no tracking capability with their aim. All they do is big flicks, micro flicks, and general direction aim (what I personally call lazy aim, but in this case not to a severe degree).
And the thing is, tracking aim also helps your flicks, because it makes it easier for you to always keep the target close to your crosshair, meaning your flicks will be shorter, faster, and more accurate as a result. Big flicks are inconsistent, and this player has unfortunately made the habit of overrelying on big flicks - which has been further positively reinforced by them actually hitting them somewhat frequently. At least enough to where they don't realize their aim is actually holding them back a lot.
Their playstyle with Tracer for example is way too fast and complicated for what their aim can reliably keep up with, and thus their gameplay ends up looking like a bit of a mess most of the time even though they have some of the right ideas. They just overdo them and overcompensate with ability use, because their aim mechanics don't allow them to consistently execute their plans at the tempo and timing they originally intended when they committed to a play -thus they end up not securing the elim, not having the same target in front of them anymore, and then having to spend extra resources and lose track of their positioning because their plan didn't think this far and didn't compensate for their aim being insufficient.

I am moved by his faith in our ability to track enemy cooldowns in gold❤
I routinely will say so, and so is going to use their ultimate and people think I’m a magician when it happens.
In silver and gold tracking ultimates is about as far as we go when it comes to cool down tracking in my experience and in my games ❤

They could’ve kept reaper on attack, they dropped pharah and had a torb, torb usually counters tracer, pharah usually counters reaper, they were looking the counter game from the start

I used to be (and still am) a Reaper main and he missed a great handful of opportunities to flank and push the support. He's not keeping an eye on his cool downs which is so important when making plays. If my wraith form is on cool down I will stay near my team. If I have my abilities I'll attempt to make some pushes, poke around or secure kills
Edit: forgot to mention the abundance of times he pushes solo and before ulting he pulls a 5head move and announce to the enemy he's right there THEN ults 💀💀💀

3, 000 hours on overwatch, still gets lost in the middle of a comp match >_< (14:46)
You have so much to work on, I am shocked you manage to stay in gold.
- Use your cooldowns primarily to escape rather than engage, on Reaper and Tracer both.
- Learn how to use physical cover more so you don't take enough damage that you feel the need to run for health packs or use cooldowns.
- Spend some time in the aim trainer. You shouldn't empty an entire clip as Reaper and hit only air.
- Make a plan before you engage and execute your goal. Like Emongg said, this might just be getting behind the enemy team to go for distracting poke damage.
- Trying to constantly deal damage and apply pressure to the enemy team is a good thing, but not when your entire team is walking back from your spawn and you're committing to a 1v5. (from 15:30 to 15:46 what are you accomplishing by being this aggressive? All you've done is give Zarya charge, hurt a Torb turret, and stagger yourself for the next fight)
- Calm down and focus on yourself instead of your teammates. Leave voice chat if you need to. Ask yourself real questions: "How could I have lived there instead of dying?" "Am I causing the enemy team to look at me instead of my teammates and creating more space for us or am I just wasting cooldowns needlessly?" "Am I getting meaningful kills during fights or just spraying bullets into the crowd to push my damage numbers higher?"

The fact they think hours = success, that’s all I need to hear.

He dropped 4 ranks when he switched to tracer

I feel like Reaper needs a Zarya and a Lifeweaver to get max value.

Man, top notch use of the green screen cooldown.

Reaper mains always play like no one knows what they are trying to setup and it's hilarious.
