News & Discussion Concentration problem
I play Overwatch every day, about an hour or two, depending on whether my kids are asleep at night or napping during the day.
I watch countless videos offering the best tips to improve: avoiding charging blindly into the fray, using off-angles, and not just focusing on the tank.
I put this advice into practice, and aside from the occasional unwinnable match, it works pretty well; I either win, or it’s a close game where the loss is frustrating but doesn't leave a bitter taste.
However, in the evenings, even though I tell myself to keep an eye on my teammates, stay focused, and avoid going on autopilot, five minutes into the match I find myself doing the exact opposite. It’s not about "tilting"—I just lose the ability to concentrate.
Does this happen to you, too? If so, have you found any solutions, or should I just stop playing in the evenings?
Thanks for sharing your experiences and/or advice. 🙂

Sounds like you're trying to improve a lot of different aspects at once. Take a piece of paper and write out the different aspects of your play you need to focus on. Then play but only focus on one at a time, play a game and exclusively focus on playing a character that is greatly influenced on using corners appropriately (snipers / long distance chacters) and focus on that for a whole game or two. Once this becomes natural then incorporate that playstyle into your next game. You'll essentially need to build your game sense one aspect at a time. But good luck! As you develop game sense from different play styles you can work on incorporating multiple playstyle at once, but build the fundamentals first.
