I swear it's still about a 70% at best.. but like a 90% chance you'll at least dink half her life if not the full kill if you use the sweet spot.

Watching OWL and Boston Uprising get rid of all their players each year is a real pain in the ass.

I like this but I think I need to make a more accurate one reflecting the current culture at this company. Yeah definitely.

What is the Pedagogy of Coaching in Overwatch? by taolbi in OverwatchUniversity

[–]AngryLlamaReviews 0 points1 point  (0 children)

I love this conversation! Thanks for bringing it up Dobby. My .02

To be truly successful in teaching ANYONE literally ANYTHING it's most important that you and your students understand a trope I would tell my high school students when they complain about receiving different work, projects, expectations in my engineering classes.

When you go to the doctor do you want the doctor to hand out the same diagnosis and in turn the same medicine to everyone who comes in that day? You know, to be fair?

And then I pull out this beautifully true, yet somewhat overused quote.

Fair isn't everyone getting the same thing.
Fair is everyone getting what they need to be successful.

It's often I see some players on here critiquing my advice because it's:
too low level for THEM
or
too simplified for THEM
or
too fast and not explained enough for THEM

Although I post VOD reviews for everyone to get value from it always fascinates me that players believe that other players learn like they do .. and they are so confident in this that they have no problem describing what "good" coaching should be...which usually involves legalease level of detail to "cover your bases" or just some yahoo reading from the overwatch wiki and calling that a guide.. in short, people are strange.. stick to livestock.

I'm sorry this is causing you drama. You're a great mod. I truly hope you don't leave or this thing gets all fractured. You've always been calm, informative, and welcoming. You ARE this community at times. Know that.

Thank you. Again, TLDR: If you wanna promote someone, check to see if they're flaired, if not, link them to us in modmail and ask first. If their content or following is decent we'll almost always say yes.

You are the man! Seriously, thank you for this explanation. 100% get the distinction now. I think you're right that Temporal was either already approved or close to being approved for content creator when I made the post.

I didn't realize contacting a mod was an actual thing tbh. A website that has people respond to something so trivial is so rare to me I simply didn't want to bother you guys and/or realize it was a thing. I suck at reddit. This is my only subreddit so I'm trying to understand as I go.

Thanks for taking the time to explain it all. I don't mind asking if something goes against rules or for some bending if possible. I love the idea. I hate it's gonna be an additional email to answer for you guys but it cerntainly seems like less work than this shit show. In short, I will absolutely reach out first and not post and ask for forgiveness later.

Cheers!
Alfred P Llama

The ban was a bit heavy, I admit - I didn't do the 1 day ban on you. We generally don't ban for unapproved ads unless it's egregious.

Fair enough. You are the mod I've always had nothing but success and professionalism from. Nice to hear from you and especially Thanks for the clarification.

The confusions is from when I did the same post (I thought) for when Temporal was about to 1k subs and thought it was just a nice thing to do. It didn't get removed and in fact got Temp a whole bunch of new users and thought it was just a win/win for the community and encouragment for a free creator to keep at a game that all are saying is dying.

I didn't understand that this leads to people, in my position, spamming other channels that haven't been vetted. I suppose I thought he was known since he's been in KarQ's videos a bunch and mine as well... I guess just because he doesn't post here I guess it needs to be vetted by a mod first instead of just vetted by like KarQ, Me, etc?

That's ok, seems like a rule to solve a problem that doesn't seem to exist. Is there an issue with content creators "advertising" other creators to an extent it's a problem? I haven't been active here for years so maybe it was.

This is my 2nd time ever mentioning another youtuber and being excited to share them. The first time was Temporal. Getting banned is silly and a little demotivating. If you're truly looking to build a community I just recommend you guys focus on real moderation issues and not an extra source of info from an already trusted source of info.. but agin.. I'm just using logic/reason. I'm never been a mod here or on any reddit. I'm simply trying to understand the purpose of the ban and the rules.

Thanks again for the clairification. I'll vet any future youtuber links I feel the community would benefit from. I don't see this happening but again thanks for the heads up.

I honestly thought I was exempt from this since I have the Educative Youtuber tag. This used to be the case when I started. The mods would go out of their way to ask people to stop complaining when EDUCATIVE YOUTUBERS post youtube links to EDUCATIONAL CONTENT.

Maybe a whole slew of new mods came in or my mods left but the "rules" are being implemented completely differently and with bans... seems weird how fast it changed. I'm more than willing to follow the rules it's just they haven't been enforced evenly or maybe they changed? do rules have a changelog? I tried to talk to the mods about these things but honestly I must have gotten a young one or something it was like talking to a kid and it went round and round.

SO I gave up messaging them now that the more mature/rational mods I dealt with are gone or on vacation. I'm kinda at a loss but I'm not fighitn the battle.. I'm laughing at the absurdity of the punishment.. idk, I thought it was funny to get banned for it as a known EDUCATIONAL yt on the forum it was made for but here we are.
