i like how this is where they insert the date night genji skin
he has the easiest counterplay ever
you can hate a character and be able to beat it
what are the things i rlly needa focus on when playing kiri??
some people dislike things that are boring or repeatitive
mauga is inoffensive tho i agree
tho i personally dont rly mind mauga
fucking stadium qp got q times like this
i can understand why people hate mauga
hello
idk stadium queue times always shorter than the game says they are for me
the only rly annoying thing about mauga is cage and like, that’s just an ult
I onced wanted to play stadium qp on eu servers at night
cage is just a good ult and i think its actually a well designed one
yeah its prob gonna be shorter but unfortunately i am queueing for support too
i wouldnt change cage
I gave up after half an hour of waiting
I had to think for a long time on this one tbh
how do i unlock tenacious hero for the hide name in streamer mode? idk how to check how many wins I got in ow2, in general I got 953
still it def does feel annoying to be targeted by cage but whatever
ults should be influential
1.wingstop
2.any family owned fried chicken place
3.popeyes
a lot of ow2 ppl just have trauma from battle pass mauga being broken but i do think its kind of a problem that the character's kit is that one dimensional
McDonalds and no where else
Hooters
:0
Its strong but without being careful youre cookrd
it's so dead
is hooters even fast food
mauga is like third-tier when it comes to characters id mechanically revise or rework
id get there eventually but not asap
nobody eats at hooters anymore bro
All of them, it makes you look like a depressed overworked office worker
Idk ive literally never seen a hooters
I live in the countryside
yeah its a dying business
no
Goodbye hooters. Hello femboy hoothers
depends how you define fast food tho
family owned fast food is always good for some reason
some random small family with a fried chicken store
max 2 customers
talks to you like family
Istg the best pulled pork ive ever had in my life is from some random family owned food stall 20mins away from the main road
oh wows
because most non family restaurants all use the same supplier
cisco
so their food is all the same
family owned restaurants have actual stakes behind making their business succeed so theyre either fucking peak or they dont survive more than 12 months
is costco still good
intent to keep the noob saf
or they are both, theyre peak and stll dont survive more than 12 months
what are the things i rlly needa focus on when playing kiri??
No they usually have a local cult following and tend to be mid
focus on swapping to symmetra
I frequent these places fr
Hi
alr play sym when i play dps but i wnna be able 2 play supp asw
Aim, Suzu, and you aren’t the mc
Make sure you stay alive
If you need to suzu urself to live then do it
Ima put my head in a microwave like that one family guy clip
mercy was made for uu
how do i get btr @ the kunais i feel like im fine w them upclose but not rlly farther away
Because more often then not you are the main healing and if you die your team follows
ew nty
rlly??
Yes
aii igy
Be alert, people want to kill the Kiri
Remember if you die the enemy gains more confidence to push up because your team is down a support
When I play tank I always try to catch an off guard Kiri
ive rlly only played her in qp so i havent rlly noticed ths 😭
That’s just general, she isn’t a sniper just try to hit shots and the more you play the better you’ll get overtime
yee ok makes sense fr
ohh okok igy
can i hard flank w her asw?
n jus tp back when ppl need healing
I wouldn’t necessarily say that, you should still keep an eye on your team and you can flank with downtime, but minimize cooldown usage so that if possible you don’t need to use tp
just try going with another flanker dpss
suzu value and good rotations
thats basically the gist of kiri's strength and skill expression
There's some pixel wide spots you can just spam through sometimes
Play around cover as well, a Kiri out in the open is a targeted Kiri
what gives a suzu value except 4 cleansing
thas crazy
the invulnerability is by far the strongest part of the cooldown
ohhh thas smart
How do you hold wallride on a cylinder object to go around on it
can nullify ultimates or deny resources spent on an approach in a snap
It can save from other big cooldowns, like a dva bomb or something else huge
if you use suzu correctly it should always be a positive resource trade in your team's favor
so like a sierra ult gets countered by a good suzu
most ults are
aii ill keep tht in mind fr
also most key cooldowns like nade, not just bc of the cleanse
but also bc the invul denying followup to the nade
which is probably just as impactful as the cleanse itself
is tr33 any good?
And don’t just use it for cleanse, keep in mind the other teams ults, see if they have anything big coming up
top NA player and active pro
im p sure u can jus hold space rite
i think he made owwc usa team
not working
this year
Think he’s one of the top na dps
ohhh okok so its not just a auto use when u see 2 ppl w ana nade or on fire
Did you play him?
yes
its not just 'burst heal' button
ify
i mean it is a burst heal button but thats not the way to get maximum value out of it
If it’s a huge nade or something that can exponentially give value then you can cleanse, but her Suzu is her biggest game changer
it is legit the best cooldown in the game at the highest level of play
until symmetra steps in
damn thas crazy
tp do be pretty close but we do also be far out of a symm meta right now
Also consistently heal, you don’t just throw kunais, flank, and you cooldowns, you have heals as well
The gap will literally be smaller than the Kunai and ill see people just spam it and just land cus people have to go through its path with cart and aren't expecting shit to fly through a wall
Not really like
A tip for improvement
Just a thing that exists
yeee i got the healing part down lowk i feel like i get 5k consistently
because she deserves a support rework but it's still the best cooldown
You said you play qp right
i mean if it helps its improvement
ye im not good enough for comp 🙅♀️
theres two schools of thought to playing kiri
It doesnt always help cus some kiris will find these pixel peaks and just sit on it forgetting what the fuck is happening around them
It’s okay I only just started getting my predicted rank
Cus "hehe they cant see me shoot at them"
😭
whts a predicted rank??
youre either a cuck sitting in the backline afking heals until you see the enemy commit resources to counter with a suzu and farm kitsune or you just leave your team and click heads for 120 damage until your team is tryna commit
The first 10 games in comp are evaluating where you should be places based on wins/losses
the 2nd option is way more fun rite
There is a inbetween tbh
3-4 years atp
ye its more like a spectrum for most players
She has no downsides
ikik but for most ppl the 2nd seems more fun
Do you want to play with one hand, or do you want to be engaged 24/7
im just listing the two extreme cases
oohhhh okok i gettit
Damn what is even bad about Kiri
idk i didnt poll kiri players
i mean i play to play so prolly b engaged
ify
shes mid when suzu is on cooldown
thats basically it
Yeah not even bad
she is balanced
Just meh
that is a statement
I still think she’s a bit like
how
Needs a rework
there are much better healers
She’s too good imo
is it not a statement
mercy need nerf
The enemy team sees you and decides it’s your time
jus let the kunai do less headshot dmg 😭
and moira need nerf she heal and damage to much
120 is tm icl
U jus tp and Suzu
Is there an argument that Juno is a main support?
no
no
main support players do not pick juno
is there different supports??
not one team does so
Hasn’t she been nerfed into the ground btw
Ew I just remembered brig juno
this refers to pro-level terminology
oh ion needa kno allat
Like in pro play there’s flex Supp and main Supp nothing major other than in pro play
main and flex support are just the common hero pools that pro support players partition between each other to maximize their specialties in comps
Which they try to feed new players, it just overcomplicates it
Damn u said it way better than me 😭
thats the shrimple explanation
New players need to learn mechanics, fundamentals, and general gameplay experience
its really not that complicated
I say this because I am new
idk why people have a hard time explaining ts
but i dont dump it onto new players bc they dont need to know ts
Nah I jus find it like not that important tbh
That’s what I’m saying
i actually feel so dumb how do you on lucio hold wall ride on like a pillar
ye for 95% of players the main advice i tell support players is to not pick mercy moira and weaver and you are good
just dont pick a throw hero and you can play the game acceptably
does this mean i should be using it when i have it most the time asw or is it btr to just hold it for when its applicable
Pretty much, other than stadium
But obviously this isn’t stadium
stadium is basically a different game so ye
I love me some bap
Is stadium worth playing haven’t played a single game of stadium
the answer is hard to understand if youre new but the idea is that you just use it when you know its going to provide extremely high value
it’s like carnival food. an experience. nice for what it is
try it and if you like it then its worth playing
It’s really fun, much more chaotic, but you should try it at least once
it is not a cooldown you want to just throw away selfishly bc you dont like missing 50hp
but not something you do all the time
Kiri lowkirk strongest supp in game
its got an extremely high opportunity cost which is why using or misusing suzu is the main way you diff good and bad kiris
is it ok 2 use it on myself if i die otherwise tho
One of the most influential characters in the game
Ohhhh I thought people just exclusively play stadium
RS THO does anyone know how to stay wallriding on a pillar
ahhhh okok ill try 2 focus on the suzus then
I play both
Jus keep staying on it
yes if youre gonna die and cant tp in time use it to live
living is good
but obviously you do not want to be in a situation where suzu is forced out
ur actually weird btw
as thats basically the counterplay to kiri
Kiri legit the first person I force cds on half the time I play dive
Hold forward and make sure you look the direction, keep on it
Living is overrated bee lien straight for their back line throw 2 Kunais miss both and blame ur team
which is why the second part of the story if being able to rotate cleverly and use tp to not be pressured easily
so when tht happens i prolly had bad positioning rite
otherwise suzu value gets denied
😂 nah fr tho idk how to stay on pillars myself
Who's the best tank player in pro play?
Tanks fault tbh
Nobody wants to see a Kiri with Suzu still available
Fax
liar
active? uhhh
this does not work
tuff to say tbh
I would know im a tank
Worked for me
tvnt and ziyad are easy picks
Yeah
I got potg around a cylinder beaming the enemies with heal on
i think donghak would be up there if he wasnt on a team with cashapp players
Yall I think ZETA gonna win something major
😭
Why is twisted minds so stacked?
Yh so it’s your fault I died on Kiri
saudi money gets good talent and good contracts
ok but im trying what u said and its not working
💵
Trust me I got u just stay on it
Check your settings, do you have the let go on release on or off?
What isn’t working, are you not moving or going off
And its ny fault half my team stood out of cover and got shot by hitscans across the map
going off
i lowkey just want a pump shotgun hero
Try a different cylinder
Yes it is ur fault why did u not take space
Reaper?
Reaper alt fire, play stadium there are entire builds around it
akimbo semi auto
#WINSTONbuff when
THIS
Need my boy to get buffed
winston is good wdym??
bro is the only player to pick doom and win in pro play you cannot tell me this guy isnt insane at the video game
Nah he’s not bad rn I play him a lot just love Winston
Bruh there's an owner for E-sports teams funding the team?
No he’s not mentally sane he’s something else
Saudi government fund the e sports
I play rocket league they fund twisted minds and falcons in rocket league too
I play Winston, Rein, and Rein mostly
well theres a difference between funding the team
Ew
With a good bit of ram
Perv
and theres a different between investing greatly into the team
?
"play stadium" brutal 💔
to get the best talent and contracts
Only way to get that
which is what the saudi money is
and is why emea has eclipsed korea as the best region over the last few years
I play Winton haz ball and sig
In overwatch it’s like that but other games they just pick the best players pay them 2x
Sure you feed if you can’t manage spacing but still
Swinging this massive ass hammer
oh also another big mention for best tank player out there
infekted
lowk best player in all of na
im so serious
Ehh idk
You’re just mad that I can pin a Winston in a room and he can’t 1v1 me
Lowkey now that I think about it ur not wrong who’s better
not much of a bar to clear there
😂
lol
Hawk is goated
What’s the name of that one Winston player
The one that’s really good
Yo my signal is trash
What kind of hawk
The mmm
idk but theres two, uh, i think
Umm*
Guxue*?
He’s by far the best Winston or junbin
Osprey? Red tailed? Northern harrier? Those are the only Hawks i know...
That guy, yes
Can we buff balls perk adaptive barrier
Fuh no
I play ball and it’s lowkey
Kinda good
hawk tung tung tuah
guxue not even korean 💔 fake winston player truly
aauraa
Yea youre done
Helps with cc
600cc motorbike I agree
Is this the barony gnomes? I hate those guys.
only if we buff dva matrix
Remember that one period in time
When she would eat everything in her sight
For sure
And it was just disgusting
Lol
Jeeb jib
Alright unc
they need to nerf soldier
..
im lowk the same age as most pro players nowadays i should have locked in when i was a 13 year old chud playing on my ps4
i would have made big money
Soldiers lowkey buns
no he literally has aimbot
Yh but
i just got in a custom game with yukaripoi but she left :((
can someone explain this broken ban phase, how can only 1 hero be banned when my team banned 9 differencht heroes?
Souj is just better
They pick the most picked hero of ur teams bans
soldier should get rocket resets on elims like genji 💯
Wasn’t that a perk?
infekted is 19 you know im right chat
gulp
its true
Soldier is buns
Ew
then who qualifies as a main support then
i mean bro got to m1
Your votes put a set amount of points toward banning a certain hero with your first vote being the most important and then second and third, it will only ban the two heroes that had the most points towards them
ig its working for him
lucio brig wuyang weaver mercy illari* cat*
Bros got 200 hours less than my most played game oat on comp alone. Still masters.
Nah he's fine, reliable but nothing crazy
this is my gm friend WHAT IS UP WITH SOLDIER OTPS TODAY
I mean hes not a very skillful hero but hes not buns
After having the same amount of time I have in my most played game ever
:<
Straight buns
god this recolor is genuinely shit
Only character whos ult is less effective the better you are. Not ineffective sure... but less
pushing grandmaster on a shitty hitscan pick doesnt seem bad to me
I hate all of them i dont like the purple at all
zen
Probably visor honestly
Nahhhh it’s good
idk ive saved my team from zarya grav with ts
widow sights
Lowkirk
Buns
Erm
Genuinely what do any of these characters have in common?
Like for DPS its pretty easy to see what they were going for in the divided categories
S76 is just mediocre but good enough to climb on ranked since you can be self sufficient on him
main support players pick them
deadeye maybe
thats the only common denominator
Good quick reload
Yeah this and hanzos ult imo
only reason people use it tho
at the highest level play, support players divide which heroes to specialize in to maximize the number of good comps they can run
Visor just stops u from shooting for like 2 seconds
for example one player will specialize in kiri and one will specialize in lucio
ur telling me ur not happy with ugly ass recolors and a couple lootboxes? the multibillion dollar company clearly can't do more
brings nothing besides another reload in high ranks
so both players are specialized in their characters to run kiri lucio
Then what makes a main support player a main support player? Because look at this
Sprint and a heal is great for a kit id say but I just don't care for visor at all
main support is just one of the categories
Its useless
its just meta patterns, the heroes dont need to have anything in common, just a term to divide the heroes into roles that make sense
theyre running a double flex comp
If you already have good enough aim its fine
its because blizz is an indie company not a multibillion dollar one this is the best they can do 🥺
Helix perk makes it less useless
kiri and juno are typically played by the flex support player
Its good for the quick reload tho if theres a bunch of ppl who are low
Did they sub in flex players?
but not always
I just use it to help the tank make space or to force some type of reaction since it’s easier not to die to it
no they just have those heroes as a pocket pick
ye we all know the green line must go up by 100% per quarter or they will bankrupt
Imagine cat bastion with visor in turret form
ironically i think kiri juno is pretty bad from both teams due to how vulnerable this backline is to tracer but its fine bc both teams are mirroring it for some reason
Then why did they not pick another common msupp?
100% is way too low what are you talking about
I use it pretty much when I need to focus on something else or when my team is wiped or getting there because why not
this is still a question that confuses many about this match
Obviously they need to triple their income
kiri juno is not common at pro level
My biggest philosophy, never go down without a pick
in fact its highly uncommon
That’ll be in Stadium I’m sure
especially into tracer
which is why it was kind of boggling to see both teams mirror this
i wouldnt say highly uncommon
lucio is banned then some sort of juno comp is very common, either juno brig or juno kiri
most teams prefer juno brig especially against the tracer, which both teams like to run
Lucio is main right?
which is why juno kiri is only usually picked if both lucio and tracer are out of the picture due to bans or map choice
which is, pretty rare
Melee dps with free flight
What defines a main or flex support
hero pools at the pro level
synergies in comps
is another way to think about it
Then why do they have names?
but as i said above
pros use these names themselves
to refer to their specialties
Interesting
since mauga is banned i think kiri might just be prefered tho, also cuz both teams have really strong kiri players
more convenient than listing out
'i play lucio brig wuyang....' or 'i play kiri juno ana...' every time
especially when players tend to specialize adjacently or simillarly
brig is better i think if its a mauga mirror
so you just say main or flex
So this is proplay roles as I understand them
i understand where this is coming from
im still skeptic of it due to the tracer
but i get the idea
Plus Lucio banned so no speed boost
it might have honestly just been a last minute comfort-pick situation from both teams
yuh said that already, thats why they play juno
tracer and reaper are somewhat oddballs bc pretty much every dps player must be able to have a tracer and pretty much any dps player can just pick up reaper if the meta demands it
but yes pretty much
nah dont think so

deadass gotta go back to mdps fdps
I think Junkrat might be a FDPS, not sure about Torb though
nerf reinhart
Junk is weird because he has no use in pro play. Torb is a jack of all trades so he could do both I guess @unreal tide @brave island
Torb is actually a great hero
Here its updated
I love dive torb
isnt tracer played by both hdps and fdps tho, like depending on the meta and stuff
Whenever the enemy team has a dive hero, just go Torb and dare the Fdps to actually have the mechanics and game sense to adapt
What is the difference between flex and main supports
I keep getting diff answers everywhere i look
why does torb have his own category 😭
Yes but usually she's slotted in Fdps majority of the time
cus its pretty arbitrary
cause its torb
players just look at good comps and specialize in different heroes to maximize the number of good comps they can play well
fair enough, was just asking cause i play hdps but i also play tracer XD
Because he can kinda fill both roles theoretically
He deserves it
youre right im sorry
its terms used by actual pros to describe these terms
in fact korean pros actually use the term 'main dps' over hitscan
to further emphasize that these roles are not about mechanical patterns
Most of the time FDPS=Tracer player who occasionally plays one of the other fdps if they're hard meta
just meta recognition and player specialization choices
that WAS the term back in OW1/OWL
idk why it just changed to hitscan all of a sudden
How do I claim the free lootbox from the webtoon?
na ruining everything as #usual...
Shh
i mean now main dps or mdps would make more sense cause you have heroes who arent physically hitscan in that group which would cause less confusion buttt hdps has just been the term for so long it makes sense that it still is
Dude I lowkey cant help but flank/push the enemy backline as torb. Hammer perk go brrrr
talking about metas is just making me wonder what the meta is right now, havent been keeping up with the higher level of play or anything lately just been focused on myself more
i like hitscan more to describe mdps
It just gets weird because Hitscan has a definition by default in this genre, but now we’re operating on 2 different definitions in this specific game
because if u call it hs then you can call it shitscan and insult them
Hitscan just feels right ngl
widow is the mercy of the DPS role
Even if it's wrong
Sometimes Fdps just isn't working for me so I just go double hitscan and it works in ranked ngl
you play jetpack cat and you carry bastion around to melt the enemy team
this is not a joke
this is the actual pro meta now
usually tanks are now divided into dive/ground
because its ranked
i dont think ive seen pros use those terms
Actually yeah I can see that. Poke never really existed for tanks
Sometimes less is more in ladder
tracer, reaper, sombra, bap, can sometimes be hybrid roles too but the rest of it is pretty accurate
list is perfect btw
Bunkah
Brawl
Mog uhh
Sometimes i hope I have brain damage and im not just built wrong
whenevers spilo made a video on how to fix a hero have devs actually ever implemented the ideas?
While that's true most of the time they're filling that pro play niche
i dont think the devs have ever implement changes from a youtube video
Who is spilo and why do we care about their opinions if they aint in chat with us
yeah it just comes down to what the players are comfortable doing
im confused on why spilo makes these videos in the first place then. also spilo is a overwatch coach that devs have actually listened to before
spark discussion
Usually its a content creators job to make videos. If there's a character people feel has an issue making a video literally based around changing that hero it brings in views
Ever since coming back to OW in season 1 I've basically been purely a DPS player because it's my lowest rank
it just feels kinda sad to watch since a lot of times the ideas are good but devs instead just give roadhog and sombra 50 more useless reworks
the videos he makes are just to start dialogue or provide game design analysis, the times where he is directly or indirectly engaging with the team on design its usually more behind closed doors
tbf i don't think every cc has ulterior motives or nefarious reasons to make a video on changing a problematic hero
sometimes it's also just a creative outlet to fix a problem they notice
like ideating the minor perk reworks for mei around season 22-ish
I mean. Isn't that how it always goes in any game ever? Community/syreamer/youtuber has good idea. Devs dont play their own game well enough to consider it.
i wanted to hope that the devs did play their game enough to know it well
also, ccs might have ideas that sound good but aren't actually good
I dont really think what I said means he's doing anything nefarious
https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=Ov0wk9rGmio this is the newest video i watched
damn no embed
^ Spilo talks abt this too. He acknowledges that his ideas actually would need to be tested
They can play a game a lot but if theyre playing at a silver level they have a silver pov
TBF most game devs probably are to busy actually trying to create, code, impliment the changes that they don't have the time to actually take the deep dive
that's why most of my suggestions for balance changes i have at least tested in custom games before advocating
but even that has a lot of inherent bias
because it's just people ik testing them
They have a day off im sure someone on the dev team clocks off work, goes home, plays some OW
and is super limited
I don’t even bother suggesting balancing changes. above my paygrade. I just point out what doesn’t work
balance is hard
that's kinda what a healthy fanbase should be like
People overreact about balance changes just to be hardstuck plat either way
yup
i caved its too peak damn it
ANYWAYS if you sit and look at some of the shit blizzard adds to hearthstone battlegrounds and how they buff/nerf/rework cards throughout the season... then come over and look at OW... its clear where they put all the thinkers 🧠
That burd aint doing nothing why it there
the most analysis i can do really is just pointing out what concepts just don’t work when designing new heroes
based on what we know already
what people think is “fun”
again we know that people in the game design and balance team have a connection to spilo and we recently learned that he was actually nearly accepted into a position at blizz in the game design division for the ow team but the stuff he makes on this channel is ultimately content
a few of spilos points on sierra was:
- drone premise was cool but more focus should be on it with either power and/or tech and the lack of any amount of tech with it when even junos simple mobility still has vertical climbing
- low ranks do not use cover and often group up which sierra can hyper capitalize on, creating a disconnect between low and high rank performance
- grenade is sauceless
its just trying to be intelligent or dialogue rather than pure ragebait
I genuinely cant even pick who to ban and im a tank main 🗿 so half my games if I dont pick bans half my team doesnt or their bans suck.... anyways if I cant pick bans ion commenting on who needs a nerf
they will not just look at his videos and listen to have with no thought
but he sometime helps them its just not on a camera
This is what everyone has been saying about her tho
just ban who you dont want to fight its not hard
like we know he playtested the s1 heroes
Especially the first bullet point
and we know he helped rework at least a few perks in the past
yeah we don't really know what makes for good game design, people qualified in game design should do that. But what we specialize in is playing a ton and knowing what we don't like
Yea but like there's nobody i dont want to fight
Who do I ban if I dont care who im fighting
Guys why is spawn camping throwing?
Touching spawn doors bad
Why
How often do you kill the people in spawn
to a certain extent. we’re not experts ofc. But there are a lot of concepts that we’ve seen done on fps over the years and how people have reacted to them
They build ult off you
spawn camping isn't bad if your enemy doesn't have walkup discipline
like for example
Oh ye that makes sense
we know that melee heroes are essentially never going to work
spawn camping is bad when your enemy can counterplay it
I thought I was giving up ground for no reason
then you just have to back off and play in a better setup
because people historically do not like fighting melee in fps games
spawn camping is a weird way of stalling a fight
not really winning a fight
you cannot win a fight while spawn camping
Although if youre in low elo and the enemy team is walking out of spawn 1 at a time and you see a support walk put solo sure. Bomb them.
and players recognize that winning is better than stalling
usually spawn camping isn't done if it puts you in a very disadvantageous position and puts you out of being able to fight in a really strong position
does melee work in fps if you make them non feast or famine as well as giving them a ranged ability?
which is why youd rather allow the enemy to commit and then punish it rather than just sitting where theyre safe
some teams might have really bad walkups which you can punish tho
I always ban Bastion Pharah and Zen on tank because they're the tank shredders
That and your team won't build ults while theirs can. Their supports won't get dove so their dps and tank can stand in spawn doors (out of the spawn healing area) and just fill ult meter
Ye low elo, dropped from silver 4 to bronze 1 today, I'm not even bad it's not my fault 😭
iirc there are times where tier 1 teams have abused spawncamping
in hero/class shooter history reinhardt seemed like the only melee character to ever work (in overwatch 1) and idk why
why did reinhardt work a lot better than anything else before or after?
Bastion I usually beat by... baiting turret then walking around a corner that takes him 6 years to round
i think this is just one of the reasons why stalling a fight is worse than winning a fight
because he had 5 other people to handle everything he sucked at
Yea
the more people you have, the more you can get away with specialization
Now he only has 4
Rein also worked because Rein is actually a real tank. He doesn’t need to get kills to create space.
ow1 was less mobile and the game just had less tanks
kinda like how in a small company you have many jobs
thats really the gist of it
in a large company you have very narrow jobs
think of all the reworked or added characters throughout the last several years and their impacts on the meta
I agree but I also personally dont like when I dont understand somwthing and I dont know why what im doing is wrong if that makes sense... like saying "stalling a fight is bad" doesnt tell me why so having a reason behind the why helps
most tanks rely on killing to create space
most of them either do a good job of bullying rein from a range, kiting rein in a way he cant challenge, or doing his job but better
also in ow1 playing all clumped together was generally seem as more acceptable
as such rein shield had more value
rein being melee heavy was always a weakness of the character
Rein, like Mercy, relies too much on teammates to make plays for them to get value
what changed about the game that made reinhardt no longer a "healthy top tier"? by that i mean people sometimes say a rein meta would suck
5v5
His helmet off
in 5v5 if Rein were ever good it would be because of sustain
which is why theyve also never added good shields after ow2
Imagine how broken it would be if Orisa javelin spin blocked dva ult
Rein is genuinely so easily countered
and no domina is not in this category in my eyes
Or sig suck
can rein be reworked and adapt to 5v5 without losing his core identity or is he genuinely doomed to either be mid or miserable?
depends on what one defines as 'his core identity'
More doomed than the fister
thats the big question for a lot of the characters people have reworked or want reworked
what is rein's core identity
Bara
the last time Rein was seriously played in this game at all was to essentially pocket Bastion with his shield (end of OWL, watch Spitfire)
for many that would be his shield and his 'slow but scary' image
both of which are things that
would not be able to work in the current game
doomed
so you either define rein as a tank that does other things or you just accept that hes bad and thats okay
Even if they went back to 6v6 full time. A lot of OW2 characters would have to be readjusted
thats why we havent reworked junkrat
i never played rein that much but i thought the identity was a supportive brawl tank with a focus on taking space more than getting kills
with that idea in mind you could rework rein imo
Does anyone know the workaround to seeing your pc stats if you play both pc and console
I don’t see how you rework Rein without making him a fat dps like all the other tanks are.
and rein’s identity is not a fat dps
Rein’s specialty imo is zoning areas by threatening the enemy team with his melee burst damage
There isn’t one.
What could you even give him to make him consistently viable without being cheese?
replace pin with a brand new cooldown
pin is just
bottom 3 cd in the game
dead button 90% of the time
no depth barely any value
But 5v5 ruined the identity of so many tanks, you can’t rework them without ruining their perceived identity in general
Too feast or famine for a 5v5 tank
i think to start off on a rein rework you’d have to heavily nerf shield to make room for the buffs
which would mess with his hero identity
Tbh
Shield aint that strong if the enemy team knows wtf theyre doing
yeah its not
the 5 billion hp shield
Just shoot at the shield
shield nerf for something to make him more proactive would be cool
like rein is never going to be a real character if shield stays how it is rn
I seen a short (i guess from an era while I wasnt playing) where they buffed rein where ram didnt punch through shield???
rn hes just an afk bot
Like i thought that was originally the whole idea
Literally
plays perfectly into the silver playstyle
People are allergic to shooting shields when a lot of the times destroying the shield is very helpful
Yeah they did that I think late last year
hold shield and afk til something happens
Then got rid of it bc everyone found it stupid
Big shield that most enemy teams can actually ignore unless forced into a hallway
Cus it is 😭
shooting the shield is fine only if u got nothing else to shoot lol
i dont even shoot rein shield its such a fucking waste of time
Rein using his shield just for me to walk to the other side
usually u got better things to shoot tho
Moira so chopped
They used sandpaper on her nose 😭
True but people overthink it which is the problem
if rein is shielding my angle im just fucking moving somewhere else
what is there to overthink
Her nose is longer and sharper in game
Shes got such a flat and pointy face.
i just ram
i probably just do too but im pretending im playing dva for this hypothetical even tho shes perma banned xd
god damn moira is ugly as FUCK
is she still banned that much after nerf
looks like some oc like that one person in the stranger things animated show
probably. Haven’t played much
yeah that nerf does shit
I heard her nose is like old people's ears. It gets longer with age. Each cm is a year of her life
hs will always despise dva
I wouldn’t be surprised if they outsourced it
she still banned for me
i feel like the nerfs were substantial
dva could be B tier and she’d still be perma banned
She’s rotting away so it can’t get much longer 😭🙏🏽
People will ban Roadhog just to get shutdown by Dva tbh
she also got indirect nerf on top of 2 big ones
i said this before when this story leaked out weeks ago but she looks like syndrome in this image
dive tank passive nerf on top of less booster
so im not gonna be having fun this game, huh
significantly lower sustain
oh less booster is fine
less sustain and worse rockets tho? ya……
like i am fring fr
Imagine if mercy did nothing but pocket lw and lw did nothing but life grip mid ult
worse rockets
oh true
Speaking of lore appearances
i think these tanks will be unfixable without armor nerf
agree
there shouldn't be a burst threshold to armor
Seen it before, I’m tryna get the health pack weapon charm just to remind me who I can depend on in these streets
I think
Do we think S3’s hero will wear their oni mask in most/all lore appearances like hog or will they remove it pretty fast after the reveal/teasers like vendetta

Me thinks...
it should be flat reduction
Ive and that shit since like 2018
when is connor mccleod getting to read us a short story with his sexy voice
Why quick play gets rigged with new players so badly. My endorsement 1 teammate admits he is new and we get full enemy team with endorsement 5 probably old players
They dont even know what theyre doing i cant be toxic anymore its just sad
Its qp it dont matta
I get them in ranked too, as placement players
They either new or they’re Smurfs who bought their account, at least that’s how it is whenever I see them
Smurf buying an account for a FREE game 🗿
placing accounts low is hard
so smoke and nap
holy shit 😭
Im at work and taking a break from smoking
whats wrong
I found it
pharah can NOT be that fun in qp 😭
Need to search through the website
Rather than ingame
Th official ow website
ya but
Not a 3rd party
Yes
I played one game with friend on console
Now I can’t see my pc stats for the season
I started on console, so I probably have both combined
i don’t know what any of my hero wrs actually are anymore
is that who i think it is
Darn it!
even before
i was literally incapable of placing tank lower than masters
and throwing games to place lower is lame
quick play final boss
my tank placed in gold
Hello
ok i have to be fr why is a 6k not a potg
i dont complain about this often but like
i’ll smoke and take a nap in ur honour twin
i feel so brigma
Brig having one of the lowest ban rates in the game makes me so happy 🥹 I can OTP in peace
brother can they fix matchmaking for the 2nd time now i joined with the literal defeat announcement happening
Live Brig reaction
I even made one of my own
alright so i have to play doomfist now
i played p5x for a month before i realised i hate gachas
does that count
i still think suit doomfist is unmatched
Thx twn
or formal wear or whatever its called
yeah thats a rlly good skin
need more formal/suit skins ngl they always look good
date night genji tuff if i played him id buy it
ok but hear me out
Why is he Baraka from mk?
overrated skin
YOUR skin is overrated
he also got the disease bro
He got ligma
barakaaka
Heh. I get it. Like doodie
barakalli
i need to piss lol
thoughts on perks? Things that could be replaced redone or taken to old perks?
I love talking about ow perks and stadium, my addiction to anything even remotely related to roguelike games is to strong
Bro what’s ur profile ⁉️
that of someone who spent too much of their formative years online
Ehh...When i start get compensation for being reported with reason "Playing QP bad"
Almost every match if enemy team pressure me they start crying its my bad on support
Well, if they cant protect me from super annoying Genji its my fault?
im losing so many games because im not allowed to type but if i start to type when im allowed i will be banned
slightly fucked up how my entire team is negative and im the only one positive
as hard tank can be nothing is more satisfying than carrying your entire team on zarya
thats anything but satisfying lol
playing overwatch while theres a severe thunderstorm watch ! >_<
how
i hope i dont dc
youre taking the fun out of the game by carrying morons
if you soft carried
i see it
First game of the day and team bans Vendetta instead of Ashe. Ashe goes 25-0 and my dps do jack shit. Shocking that banning a throw pick over the best dps in the game would go bad
by carry i mean dominate the entire match
and stupid fucking idiots are banning ball on circuit
Ashe is ridiculously overtuned. At least on console. Kills the fun of every game shes in
no mate
i highkey always hated this skin
never understood why its popular
face is ugly and the colors are too muted
you get it bro i dont understand why its so popular too
I was like wtf you saying and then read console
Never played more than one game of it but heard she's more problematic on there than on pc
is it me or does sierra have the same damage output as bastian?
I use gladiator doomfist it looks cool
bro i swear i melt any tank as efficent as bastian
this guy complains about console stuff all the time i wouldnt even bother
It's pretty high especially with her perk and if she chucks a nade in your direction before starting to shred you but bastion is still higher I think
Bastion can't headshot in turret iirc and sierra can miss her dart and still have the perk activate to shred you if she lands headshots
can i re add my xbox acc 2 bnet before 90 days have passed? i had to remove it so i could play ow with out it saying my bnet is banned
I'm in the same boat as you in some situations I have to deal with
Depends on ban reasons
Ah first time I saw it
I'm usually asleep by now
i went on twitter and saw they were looking into the issue of people being banned, my account has no actions on it besides a silence all the way back in 2024 😭 and i only play on pc to js with the xbox gamepass
I love when the enemy team swaps to orisa, sojourn, and ana once I hop on Mauma and they lose
mauma?
And the ana was pretty pissed too
yes mauma
muaga?? 😭
Yes Mauma
how to get into top500 cuz i dont know how it works rn, by points or rank
why are you typing it the way its pronounced instead of typed
her damage output is high but nowhere near bastion. the numbers are available to read in game.
damage ouput of sierra's gun is 199dps, bastion's is 360dps
again, its high, but nowhere that high
u gotta win 1.7k games overall to be qualified to start climbing in top 500
Because I like saying Mauma
I've been saying Mauma for a good while
Even tho it's Mauga
wtf wasnt like before those overwatch seasons like 500games?
they changed it from 750 to 250
they didn't
its very evident
i have 1k wins overall, does rank or comp points matter more
comp points js let u buy weapon variants
idk bro either u dont have enough comp points to be on leaderboard
gold jade galactic crimson
its not about lb
She has 0 counters. And with a Mercy pocket gg w that
its about the title u get
when Diamond
adept competitor
oh i just said the wrong thing its challenger score
guys how do i know where overwatch saved my play of the game if im on mac
cuz im m3 and still not top500
How many days is left on the season?
Rugby Mauga skin is so peak
What u need 750 wins for?
i still didnt get the anwser what gives top500 rank, challenger score or rank
Eligibility for Top 500
oh my god why do my teammates keep losing my games???
challenger score atm
Winning 750 Games in any Competitive Mode.
so i just need 9k score to get into top500
Then getting your rank or challenger score
t500 atm is
diamond+
seasoned competitor unlocked = 750 ranked wins
and to have more challenger points then the last guy
mate everything is in top 500 lets be honest
I lowk don't remember lol
master is a elo of passion
our elo
ur elo
?
my ball is atleast c2 max c1
LOL
nun funny
cuz blizz js felt like ruining it
haha
forcing playtime
t500 change was so fucking lame smh
back in my day the top 500 players were actually the top 500 highest
unc
basically me except its dps dive player off roles tank
every hs player just goes zar on tank i swear
i don't like zar
you're a machine that turns my healing into enemy ult charge
