  Gaining game sense is kinda hilarious bc its like randomly gaining consciousness as a child. Like just one day i start realizing that the shit i usually do aint it and stop lol

  Theres also the fact that, high level games means you can kind of expect your team to play in ways that would actually give you resources. Like i play in plat-gold but I always do pugs with diamond players and i get whiplash when my supports actually give me attention and resources. Or they straight up tell me to go on deeper flanks.

  I think us low rank players would appreciate if your guides made these distinctions between low and high rank play more often, because I think for many of us these nuances just fly over our head

  The thing about T500 players not necessarily giving good advice is not said often enough, I think. Being good at <i>playing</i> the game does not require being good at <i>explaining</i> how to play the game. It doesn’t even require being able to articulate your own decision-making! All expertise has subconscious components that cannot be accessed by the conscious mind—David Sirlin calls this the “mental iceberg”, with the parts above and below the water. And there are a lot of “intuitive”-type players whose mental icebergs have really big underwater part, but with very little above the surface. You can still learn from those players’ gameplay, but their attempts to explain themselves are going to be misleading and/or confusing.

  I like playing Tracer because even though I still kinda suck with her, every little improvement feels so much more obvious than with playing other heroes<br><br>Feels very rewarding

  I like the comparison to what a low rank team is doing vs what a high ranked team would be doing given the same team comp and map control/angle control.

  Those T500 people are crazy good at the game but they can throw in the most unbelievable ways. Makes you realize that if they’re goofing up that bad, you can do the same and still improve.

  Man after seeing you explain positioning instead of &apos;you should be positioning properly better&apos; This explains infinite amounts on the effects of your position Relative to everything else. Thank you

  i noticed this a fair bit, i think the biggest example is a &quot;venture guide&quot; and it was just someone sitting up on high ground holding a angle in top 500, but in say plat no one even tries to contest that angle so you have no impact
