Visit the Mentor Sign-Ups thread, if you would like to mentor someone who could benefit from your experience. Mentees always outnumber Mentors, so good on you, if you can commit to the program and pass on your experience!
Visit the Mentee Sign-Ups thread if you would like someone who is more experienced than you, help you improve your play.
Signups close on Friday,July 24 2015 and match-ups will be posted at the start of the following week on Tuesday, 28 July.
Role of a Mentor
The role of a Mentor may seem obvious by the name alone, but the 'how to go about the task itself?' is a question and endeavor which has no finite answer. Being a good player does not by itself create a good Mentor, since the Mentor must not only be experienced in Company of Heroes 2 but also be a wise, patient counsellor who can clearly communicate, in a manner which keeps the Mentee engaged and willing to learn. COH2.ORG has no other requirements for Mentors, than these straightforward guidelines.
Many successful Mentors in past programs, have used all or some of the following :
- Writing reviews of their Mentee's replays
- Watching replays with their Mentee (using VOIP or IM clients)
- Skirmishing with their Mentee
- Recommending strategy content reading to their Mentee
But significantly, we now have Obs Mode available, as well as the popular use of Twitch TV
For both returning and new Mentors, let it be known that the COH2.ORG staff fully appreciates your commitment. The dedication of experienced posters as Mentors, is what makes the Mentor Program possible and gives the program its enhanced value.
Role of a Mentee
Nearly every Company of Heroes player could use some help in an area or two. Sometimes, however, the solutions, or even the problems of their playstyle are not immediately clear to the player concerned. The Mentor Program is aimed precisely at assisting such players. By pairing up with a more experienced player who will be your Mentor, COH2.ORG hopes to help players improve faster and advance to new levels of play, beyond anything they would have been capable of achieving alone in the same time frame! It is also not entirely uncommon to develop a steadfast friendship and 2v2 partner, as an outcome of the Mentor Program.
Commitment
You must understand that one of the most important things required in the Mentor Program, is Commitment by both sides. Do not sign up if you are going AFK for 3 months on vacation; do not sign up if you are not going to be active; do not sign up unless you are serious about mentoring, or being mentored. If you take up a mentorship and go AFK, then you are simply being selfish and taking someone else's spot. So please be respectful of others' time and commitment!
How it Works
Within a few days after sign-ups close, you will be paired with a Mentor/Mentee and the pairing list will be posted. We will do our best to pair people with others in appropriate time zones, but we cannot guarantee to always find the most convenient solution. Once the list is posted, the Mentor will create a thread in the Mentoring Forums where his group will convene. This thread is where discussions and reviews can take place. The Program lasts for as long as both sides want. In the past, mentoring could sometimes last for approximately 6 months, though typically, one month or two is the more likely outcome.Ultimately, it is all down to effort made by the participants to provide the replays and analyse the games. Most Mentors will want to review losses, rather than wins, so Mentees must be prepared for that. There is no gain without pain.
Have fun!
