[tribal canopy]

I cant find the bracket to predigt playoffs?

[limpid grail]

pinging cause urgent

you watch on YouTube to receive the drops after being connected

you can't predict playoffs afaik

[silver fossil]

Thank you 🙂

[tribal canopy]

You cant make a playoffs bracket? Wtfff

[midnight beacon]

does watching the overwatch league on the playoverwatch channel not give the tokens

[fathom igloo]

No only the OWL YT

[midnight beacon]

damn it

i opened the wrong stream like 3h ago and left it playing

[fathom igloo]

You don't get any tokens today cause there's no OWL games

[midnight beacon]

why is it streamed on both -_- but only one gives tokens

pl

ok*

[steep shell]

@midnight beacon look for a diamond 💎 symbol, with the words connected ( it's between live chat and share I think)

[wanton night]

Does watching Challenger cup earn me skins?

[limpid grail]

no

[steep shell]

Half people say yes, half say no, can we just get confirmation

[fathom igloo]

The answer is no

People who are saying yes are dumb

[steep shell]

What If you are dumb, how do I know you are right

[tawdry thicket]

i haven't been earning owl tokens is that normal?

i have been watching the stream since the beginning basically

[onyx notch]

have you watched the full 30 ? if not that could be why idk tho

[uncut drum]

Have you linked your account

[fathom igloo]

because I actually read/understand what I'm talking about

[steep shell]

I had a connected symbol on it yesterday so now I have trust issues

[minor fog]

So I have to connect google?

[woeful rock]

For people who are or watch high elo players:

What does high elo Winston players do when enemy picks reaper?

[fathom igloo]

Switchs

Or communicate with the team

[tawdry thicket]

yes

i think it's the streams, it sometimes desyncs

[limpid grail]

communicate with the team

reaper does not just automatically murder winston on sight

he prevents him from over aggression

[fathom igloo]

Also why are you playing Winston right now

That's like playing hog

[woeful rock]

Wut, what's wrong with Winston? He's a worse DVA, sure

But not bad, no?

With genji/dive being a thing

[limpid grail]

pat with the silver takes

feeling ruthless today imo

[fathom igloo]

I am gold btw

Oh wait

zar and d.va are much better picks

Well until Tues

[woeful rock]

Do we know what they will nerf about them yet?

[fathom igloo]

There was apperantly a leak and the spread for d.va was going up which is a bad thing cause I mostly play d.va

[unreal zealot]

So im a ex ow doom player and im just like wondering how do i play him well

Like i get that i take a little damage with block then punch does alot of stun, slam is for mobility yada yada

But like actually

How do i play him well

Cause i just get blown up ong

Like i cant actually tank

[fathom igloo]

You don't play him he's dog

[woeful rock]

Watch some guy called Zbra on youtube, god tier doomfist. Eventually doomfist will get buffed so just keep at it

[silver cradle]

This is not the best channel to get help. You can join the gameplay advice channel in #roles-old

[limpid grail]

back to the other one

winston is not as bad as you may think

if you don't understand the game

he can beat a clueless zarya

because she just self bubbles and he doesn't care

[earnest leaf]

Winston is the best MT atm

[next mesa]

A lot of bozos on gameplay advice lol

[fathom igloo]

rein is better then winston

[earnest leaf]

not at all

there's a reason only one team plays him in owl

[fathom igloo]

ok bronze tank player

[earnest leaf]

I have played tank at a range you will never reach

[fathom igloo]

what gold 4

[earnest leaf]

no

[fathom igloo]

ok switch player

[earnest leaf]

don't even own a switch

[willow drum]

hes not

hes a masters

player

on PC lol

[next mesa]

pat i think

you should sit this one out

[willow drum]

pat flameknight might be stupid

[next mesa]

flameknight is surprisingly right

[willow drum]

when it comes to OWL takes

but when it comes to overwatch fundamentals

and hero knowledge

he gaps your silver ass

[fathom igloo]

even though I'm gold? and have been since the last couple of seasons

[willow drum]

my bad!

big ddifference

[next mesa]

oh my god

i tried to place bronze

i ended up silver 3 or something

sad

now i dont know if i can queue

[fathom igloo]

bronze more like hell

[next mesa]

with my boys

[tall sphinx]

But overwatch is the ones who organises the teams? Why can’t they make it so everyone can play in owl so they don’t need to make a separate event

[willow drum]

same reason why randos cant just play in a sports team

like you'll never see rando players

in the NFL

[fathom igloo]

because some just have better skill same with any sports league

[tall sphinx]

So it’s just for people who aren’t great at owl level?

That makes sense, I was told something else

[ruby tapir]

for the rank system if I get 7 wins and 5 loses and I rank up does the lose still count to 20 or it resets?

[naive obsidian]

ayoo???

[crystal dust]

reset iirc

afaik someone told me that if you get 7 loss before you get 7 thats a derank

[limpid grail]

why is the masters icon such

mid

[limpid grail]

this is actually tilting me so hard for no reason

[toxic elk]

[limpid grail]

why

are you not able to see the number of games you've played as a certain role

after leaving the screen
am i stupid or something

[fathom igloo]

Yes you are /j

[toxic elk]

be nice

[cloud latch]

no he isnt

[cloud latch]

literally just gold

[limpid grail]

pat with that kind of take you are not allowed to say anything

imo

[fathom igloo]

it was a joke

you are not stupid

you are very smart

[cloud latch]

pat takes is just from a gold player perspective give him a break 😂

[toxic remnant]

can i get overwatch leage tokens from the play overwatch twitch stream'

[fathom igloo]

I'm from a salty gold tank player cause NO ONE PRESS W THEN YELLS AT ME WHEN I DO IT

[cloud latch]

sounds like a skill issue

[twilit oriole]

Pat is malding in silver lollll

Def a skill issue

[fathom igloo]

not my fault I underastand how to play the game and I have a life

[twilit oriole]

Your sliver😭😭😭

You don’t know how to play the game

And you def don’t have a life

[cloud latch]

I dont believe you can say you understand the game if youre hardstuck gold

[twilit oriole]

Sit down pat, your hardstuck silver/gold, don’t try to teach masters players lil bro…

[fathom igloo]

again I a) don't play comp on hours on end b) have tweo jobs and school and c) I like having a social life

[twilit oriole]

You don’t have a social life

Is the thing

You also don’t need to play comp hours on ends to climb

[fathom igloo]

ok consle player lmao

[twilit oriole]

I’d still destroy you

Yk that

[fathom igloo]

go back to playing on your switch or whatever

[twilit oriole]

That’s why you won’t 1v1

Ps5* costs more than your entire gaming Pc

[fathom igloo]

nah I just don't want to lmao

[blissful kelp]

usually i’d argue being gold puts pat above average people in terms of knowledge but he’s just being a sperg lol

[twilit oriole]

Yeah cuz your shit

[twin bloom]

He is better than most

Imo

[cloud latch]

gold is avg

[twin bloom]

Avg is low gm

Anything below is bad

[blissful kelp]

last i checked its silver

but w/e

point is that kid is malding

while waiting for his happy meal

[fathom igloo]

1400 buck gaming pc 150 monitor 100 dollar mouse 100 dollar headphones and 150 for the keyboard

[cloud latch]

hmmm would make sense cause of the massive influx of people

[twilit oriole]

Nah silver/gold is avg, but bro is malding

[twilit oriole]

Send specs

Your def lying

Just type msinfo32 and your specs will pop up

[blissful kelp]

$1900 and still in gold?

[twilit oriole]

😭😭

Oh my

[fathom igloo]

@twilit oriole my computer

[twilit oriole]

Bro did you crop that

Just send your entire thing

[blissful kelp]

i’ve played with a ~$800 rig and i got to gold with it

[cloud latch]

all that and still gold

[limpid grail]

all that and still gold

[twilit oriole]

All that and still gold

[blissful kelp]

all that and still gold

[cloud latch]

wait pat how many frames you get

[fathom igloo]

imagine making fuin of rank lmao

[fathom igloo]

160 on avr

[blissful kelp]

cuz its true lol

[twilit oriole]

Pat how many frames

[fathom igloo]

rank means nothing to the outside world lmao

[blissful kelp]

ur talking shit about masters players while being several tiers below

[cloud latch]

I wish I could have that many frames

[blissful kelp]

we dont care about ur outside life

no flame

[twilit oriole]

160 with those settings? LMAOOO NAHHH NO WAY WITH A 3060

[blissful kelp]

u keep typing like it matters tho

while u shit talk pros

[fathom igloo]

I don't?

I honestly watch the pros and try to get better from them

and higher ranks from them

[cloud latch]

💀

[twilit oriole]

Bro has a RTX 3060, 1tb storage, an AMD Ryzen 5, and you only avg 160 frames? No way it’s that low

[blissful kelp]

¯_(ツ)_/¯

[cloud latch]

pat do you play on max settings?

[fathom igloo]

no

[twilit oriole]

I feel like you went on the internet and just took a ss of a good gaming PC and cropped it LMAOOO

Bc why does it say gaming desktop

Did you build this?

[fathom igloo]

why am I fighting with a kid who is a consle player lmao

also honestly you could analyze the pros for days and years on end and have zero clue on what they mean when they say anything

also rank means shit and once you all start college and start a job you will realize you don't have so much free time as you once did

[blissful kelp]

to close off my argument for this verbal diarrhea hole

u have double my messages despite being here for barely 3 weeks

so to tell others to get a life is just a smidge ironic

dont ya think?

anyway enjoy ur block

[fathom igloo]

I mean I've left the server lmao

[twilit oriole]

I think I found pats gaming pc on Amazon😭

Bro took that pic off the internet

@fathom igloo send your real specs dawg💀😭

[still flint]

[cunning patrol]

You’re actually dickriding LMAOOOOO

[twilit oriole]

Nah I had to prove this guy was lying

[still flint]

[still flint]

[twilit oriole]

[twilit oriole]

Why Tf do I need a pc to play games dawg I already have one for school and shi

If I really want one I’ll build one

Rn I’m chill with what I have

[blissful kelp]

overwatch is a fucking toaster game lol

[twilit oriole]

Ye i don’t need a gaming pc to run it

[static pond]

Well to be fair around 600 you can probably buy a pc that runs more then 140fps

Well 120

[twilit oriole]

Ye but like all my games I already own on PlayStation

[static pond]

Same

[twilit oriole]

I don’t see the need for a pc yet

[twin bloom]

Its cheaper and not 700$

Imo

[twilit oriole]

Eh if your really only building a pc based around ow sure that’d do

But

That’s a waste

A pc less than 700$ would be good for only ow, but for other high end games it wouldn’t be the best

[next mesa]

he's been here for like

a year now

at least

[blissful kelp]

its still rlly funny

to tell people to get a life

if u think its a genuine insult

then ur probably the same person to laugh at your mom jokes

no flame

[limpid grail]

this reminds me of the several different laptop and desktop setups I've played on when ranking up

it's been a JOURNEY

it took me 36 or so seasons playing on and off

to go from bronze when season 2 came out
to top 500

60 fps was the dream back then 🥲

[cloud latch]

I have never hit top 500 in any mode

[tropic herald]

i hit t500 on console open q 🥱

little bit of a goat u could say

🥱

[cloud latch]

true

[rain flint]

So like. I've been watching OW League all night and didn't receive a single token.
I watched through Youtube and through the website. My accounts are linked, yes.

[vagrant cargo]

How do I get drops if on YouTube I don’t know how that’s works?

[keen abyss]

I was watching the Overwatch league game the other day and it said “3 hours, 3 skins” at the 3 hour mark and they said the drops were out if you watched for 3 hours but I didn’t get any?

[minor fog]

How do I get drops if on YouTube I don’t know how that’s works?

[minor fog]

Bro help me lol ^

[last nimbus]

thats next week

[stoic sinew]

Go to your battle net account online and in connections connect youtube

[digital cobalt]

in order to get rewards from watching league u need to see it live right? if thats correct when is the next livestream?

[north relic]

[devout path]

There was literally every matchup you could have ever wanted

[plush grail]

stfu

[devout path]

And there was like 5 games going on at the same time all streamed

It was such a great experience

The only one that didn’t happen was like zain jmook

There was so many sick plays

There some salty leffen moments

There was some hbox popoffs

There was some wizzy icing

[plush grail]

overwatch esports

shut up about melee

[devout path]

There was drunk mango absolutely fucking rolling

There was some iconic caster moments

Swiss pools was amazing

The LCQ was the strength of a major

It was constant action

Easily the best melee event this year

If not ever

And that’s saying something when the big house literally happened a little bit ago

Slug makes ics hype

The king is back beating everyone except mango

Hog should be played more in owl, change my mind

Like on a theoretical level, free kill every 8 seconds

[willow drum]

no

[cedar oasis]

lol

hog gets fucked by everyone

[limpid grail]

play the video game

beat hog

imo he sucks even more because he can't just murder a tank for free now

healing bloat + kiriko ana backlines + zarya and armor changes

[keen abyss]

widow should be played every match

[steep shell]

I HATE WIDOW

Don't utter that name

[keen abyss]

think about it, 4 instakills in the span of 5 seconds

and can chew through tank health pools easily

[limpid grail]

trueing

[keen abyss]

surely there’s no counterplay to the hero that largely invalidates her usage in many scenarios

[limpid grail]

it's crazy how widow can do what sojourn does but in one second

Defiant is a good, honest .49 team. We play .49 OW goddammit. Salt of the earth, punch the clock, nearly even win/loss ratio OW. We lose a couple, guess what? We'll win a couple, too. But don't get too excited or let it go to your head. No long winning streaks here, no sir. That's hubris

anyone else having issues?

[steep shell]

I've learned something, plat console players are brainless but are just better at a tech level

So I make smart play but it doesn't matter cause they aim better, now to figure out how to aim

We need a console owl for me to leech knowledge off of

[earnest leaf]

lmao new owl video has most casters and desk saying fuel are winning

They think zarya is gonna be good oh nonono

even after fuel literally lost to houston on zarya

[oblique patio]

Will the nexus tracer skin be available this year on overwatch 2?

[uncut drum]

Which one is that

[keen abyss]

the truth

the truth that will sadly be denied this upcoming week

[keen abyss]

what the fuck is this video 😭

like

we're going into the patch

where zarya is getting nerfed into the ground

right ... ?

assuming zarya receives massive nerfs and dva gets tuned back slightly

the meta will shift to dva/winston

correct ?

similar to the midseason madness with a more divey style

than a rush style

as dallas has only been good on rush this year

and have crumpled in dive metas ?

also sp9rk1e not being able to play his genji

not to mention them losing to houston

on the mirror

to danteh who is not even a natural zarya player..

idk man

i say i dont like using houston as a benchmark but you can't lose to a team on your signature comp

right before playoffs

people entirely forgot how good glads were in stages 1-2

and even 4

(even though they have not been tested in stage 4 bc all their hard matchups were stage 3)

like to me

it is between seoul and glads

bc dallas have shat the bed on dive

honestly shock will be good too if we're going back to dive

if the luge could consistently play dva that is a big upgrade from MM

seoul just has the best all around roster

S tier in every position besides fdps

and maybe fs

ir1s high a tier at worst though

fits maybe high A as well i havent watched much seoul this year

[willow drum]

tobi wins the gf once he recognizes

that stalker fits

is the way 2 go

[keen abyss]

how is stalk3r tracer

would he too get gapped by venom

[willow drum]

no

he would win

[earnest leaf]

the meta imo is gonna be something like winston/tracer/sojourn/kiriko/lucioOR other FS

It's why I don't rate dallas super high going into the tourney

[vocal glacier]

Zarya might still be it on control and less vertical maps. Depending on the severity of Dva nerf it might just be a dva meta again.

[limpid grail]

why'd i just have a plat mercy

[tropic herald]

i swear mmr in this game

is something

so many equalizers on my team

...

cant go a game w/o some1 that plays like they shouldnt be in the elo

[buoyant jacinth]

Shock are nerfed by the fact that they will have to play Mickeyy on some maps

[vocal glacier]

i don't notice them that frequently... Wait am i the equalizer

[karmic charm]

is kiriko rly gonna be that strong tho

[tropic herald]

in owl

yes

[karmic charm]

ppl like avast/custa said they spoke to pros and coaches and they've all said she's a bit underwhelming

[vocal glacier]

if zarya's still around i'd imagine bap lucio stays. Otherwise eh.. Mayhem was running ana on winston comps and suzu's super good.

[edgy forum]

What discord servers do you guys use for scrims?

[tropic herald]

i have seen otherwise

recently

[vocal glacier]

i know some contenders teams show their scrims occasionally is kiriko being ran?

[tropic herald]

kiriko lucio has had some play time

[vocal glacier]

interesting which teams/regions?

[tropic herald]

ive only seen stuff in na

[edgy forum]

How do people find scrims in overwatch?

[vocal glacier]

don't know if i can post discord invite here. But reddit/r/ Comp overwatch had a discord that people looked for scrims in. Just joined it to check and it still looks active

[sullen berry]

There's a couple teams from Calling All Heroes tournament that finished yesterday that looked good, Australia's Shimada Showdown will be airing soon if you're looking for more teams who might pick her up

[keen abyss]

if only there was a team with a high tier winston top 1/2 tracer top na sojourn top 3 lucio and the best FS in the world...

THAT'S MY SF SHOCK BABYYY VIOL2CIO TO THE TOP

[vocal glacier]

what was the level of calling all heroes tournament? It wasn't like an actual contenders event right?

[earnest leaf]

I think her ult and movement is way too good to not use

[sullen berry]

It's technically and Overwatch League event, but if you're judging it off the fact it's not contenders is kinda cringe

I'm not saying it's as good, but the gameplay is there

[vocal glacier]

not judging the event lol we were discussing contender teams that have been showing scrims on newer patches that have kiriko

[sullen berry]

Yeah I got no clue if you're asking for VODs, they would be good to watch though

[twin bloom]

Its a buff

[candid gyro]

how did philly hunters go

My guess is 3/0 to philly sadge

[cunning patrol]

Glads is not this team btw

[keen abyss]

ofc

it is toronto

finale #1 tracer

global

[cunning patrol]

I’d normal agree with you as a joke but I hate finale too much

Sorry

[keen abyss]

i know toronto's secret sauce

they will reveal

that heesu

the goat

is actually an elite tracer

and although's best hero is sojourn

and they roll the tourney

[cunning patrol]

Mashallah

A mediocre ow 2 winston is a top tier ow 1 monkey

You just are not used

To the change

Yet

Shut up

What looks like mediocre gameplay

Is top tier

Main tanking

[vagrant jacinth]

They're fun to watch, been loving it

[soft shadow]

Anyone think that OWL will expand to Australia?

[vagrant jacinth]

It really does lmao

I don't think we'll get expansion teams again. Not unless owl improves

[balmy wolf]

Reiner 100% winrate sheeeeeesh

[hot onyx]

I mean there is already about 10 players that shouldn’t be in the league that made it so I don’t think an expansion team is coming anytime soon

[civic vigil]

What time do the drops for the 30 hour thingy start, I know its October 30th but I do not know the time

[uncut drum]

when the event goes live i think

[frosty patrol]

reiner is the definition of mediocrity on da monkey

imo

jazzy is correct

also his resume is 2 stage titles and that’s it

NA contenders counts for nothing 🔥

[frosty patrol]

those players all deserve to be on a team in a 30 team league

also add a draft so that we can see eternal tank annually

[hot onyx]

Paris Eternal + FiXa Skairipa backline is definitely OWL worthy

[frosty patrol]

yes

I completely agree

skairipa deserves to be a backup on a bad owl team in the 30 team league

fixa would be a starter

everyone on vegas besides maybe krawi and malthel makes owl in 30 team league

[hot onyx]

Wub moment

[steep shell]

I don't think I'll get enough coins, sad

[quaint wren]

ive been watching harb and cyx since 2016. are they good players to learn from? i know they're good hog players. not sure if they are good in general esp for ranked/competitive ow

They are good to watch to rank up sure

[limpid grail]

problem is hog historically sucks

besides the mickey mouse metas where he doesn't

so high level hog play is far and few in between

[split flume]

Super is the best hog player

[limpid grail]

but like
imo any streamer who has consistently ranked upon the ladder is usually a good influence

[worn falcon]

😊 daan ot

[twin bloom]

If you replaced skairipa with landon

Their would be 0 difference

In results

For both teams

[frosty patrol]

agree besides brig

[cedar oasis]

can we ban everyone from eu

[split flume]

Please

[twin bloom]

Skai deserves to be in owl imo he is not roolf

Tier

Bad

Just not good

Either

Sadly

[fringe spade]

yo i am new to overwatch idk anything but where can i find players tho?

where

[vocal glacier]

under roles get lfg

[fringe spade]

i cannot click on the roles

[twin bloom]

He beat alot of good players such as gig aspire mikeyy lukegoat coluge "redacted british FS) vigilante sirmajed

Etc

Etc

Nac counts

Imo

[uncut drum]

why are the playoff pickems so hard to do

the teams will have 5 days to practice the patch the most people think it will be

[hot onyx]

They aren’t hard at all

eliminate Fusion out the gate and you’re golden

just as long as you don’t pred something dumb like Shock winning it’s a good pickem

[tropic herald]

Mayhem win grand finals

[hot onyx]

not really

[tropic herald]

Cope

[hot onyx]

they beat Reign and Defiant in losers but then they have to get 3-0’d by Gladiators

So balance changes are still up in the air.. Dallas Fuel gonna win it all?

[cloud latch]

they have a higher chance now

although as a dallas fan I do not believe they will win

[earnest leaf]

owl just got the latest balance patch for playoffs

those are the ones with the zarya/sombra/genji/dva nerfs

I don't think fuel will thrive in playoffs

[cloud latch]

I have glads winning if the leaked patch is true

[vocal glacier]

Has anyone officially confirmed that's the patch for playoffs and not just a test patch that might have been used in playoffs?

[cloud latch]

no

[vocal glacier]

I remember the leaks being denied than later it being rumored it was a patch pro's were testing. But It's kind of weird for blizz to just sit on a patch if those changes are already set in stone.

In OWL are you allowed your own cross hair. In every clip I see its always the default cross hair?

[vocal glacier]

the stream/vods just show what the observer/cameraman has which is just default in OWL.

this is a nice interview

He mostly likely won't play but there is a chance

[karmic charm]

apparently owl told them that they would be on it and then went back and said they wouldn't be

[worn falcon]

he wouldnt, just the man fucking her arm more by playing OW

[uncut drum]

Personal reasons

[uncut drum]

You never know

Philly will do Philly things

That one percent chance

[worn falcon]

philly about to get a sledge hammer if Zest doesnt play

[lost thicket]

Patiphans journey is just

Pound in the OWWC

Switch to Valorant

Eliminate Champions contenders Envy and become loved by the entire scene

Retire

Joins OWL

Wins two stages

Retires

Returns to VALORANT

Refuses to elabourate.

[uncut drum]

Wait he is back in Val?

[lost thicket]

yes

[worn falcon]

yes

to Talon

[lost thicket]

[uncut drum]

Which team

Ah you said it before I could type

I say a clip but I thought it was old

Bruh

Well he should do fine

All Val is holding corners and waiting for someone to peak

[lost thicket]

Pati legit said he's gonna play games till he breaks his wrist

genji is zoom zoom zoom

while valorant is just hold angle and crouch

far easier on the wrist

[lost thicket]

might I just say

gigachad

[north relic]

I love having a useless hand because I can’t stop gaming

[silver cloud]

When can I expect all of my skins to be transferred, I've only received like 60% of them

I gotta respect it tho

man i miss WC

[cloud latch]

imagine sk

lip proper smurf vindaim shu

[cunning patrol]

I could beat that team

[plain garden]

Who’s the best owl team rn?

[limpid grail]

it's hard to say

I can't in good conscience say glads after that sorry performance in stage 3

but it's a toss up between like glads shock fuel dragons seoul

[static pond]

To be fair

Pati and ans both left

Mid tournament or before it

Zarya and junker queen also weret there strongest comps

[tiny pollen]

glads was the best team in stage 3

!

face is just racist or something

idk

[limpid grail]

there is no conceivable way a group of human beings sat down and collectively agreed upon buffing baptiste

like I can't accept the fact that anything other than sentient fungi made a calculated decision to give a character a 100 hp burst under half

that is aoe and requires little thought

on a character
with a role passive that includes passive healing

[tiny pollen]

he got buffed????

[limpid grail]

well it was the last patch
where they increased his bullet damage by 1
and made it so regen burst does the double under half thing

which is exactly why we are in a zarya meta rn

[tiny pollen]

oic

[limpid grail]

where teams run at each other and if they play out of position or badly don't worry

they get hit with an immortality field and 160 hp immediately

and nothing dies unless the zarya wills it so

like they actually have to be working in the Mickey mouse clubhouse to come up with this stuff

[tiny pollen]

they gotta buff ball

🐐

💪 🐹

[limpid grail]

ball meta for playoffs 😱

[tiny pollen]

hog meta

shock resign super then violet stirket and him get their third ring

[limpid grail]

it's funny how re-sign and resign are opposites

like I know these people want their new heroes to be played

but why do they always have to fail to make good things the first time around

as if making a mobile character who can just randomly kill things and has immortality the first time wasn't enough

[lusty musk]

its overwatch

what you expect

[limpid grail]

(brig)

[lusty musk]

actual balance?

[limpid grail]

true and real

and then they made another mobile character who randomly kills things and has immortality

(bap)

[lusty musk]

but 10x worse than OG brig

imagine making a character so broken that she kills the game entirely

[limpid grail]

and then they made a HYPERmobile character who actually randomly kills things and has immortality

(kiriko)

mickey mouse clubhouse

[fathom igloo]

kiriko is so bad imho

at least in QP

[limpid grail]

pat don't do this

it's too late at night

I will not let you set yourself up for this fall

[fathom igloo]

fair enough

[earnest leaf]

she is fairly strong

it seems pretty apparent she will be meta in owl

[next mesa]

suzu is too good

to not be played

although if this bap buff goes thru

dumb as hell

holy shit

[earnest leaf]

what bapt buff

[polar jay]

is kiriko op?

[fathom igloo]

In what sense dmg healing being a support

[polar jay]

in general

cuz i think i saw somewhere that shes underperforming in all metrics

[fathom igloo]

I mean I don't play her and she's pretty easy to beat

[polar jay]

including allies saved and effects cleansed

[fathom igloo]

She's not the best support but she's not the worst

[polar jay]

i feel like shes pretty balanced rn

maybe just make her suze duration shorter and pop faster

[vocal glacier]

where do you put kiriko though? Lucio Bap looks stupidly good still. If Ana doesn't come back there isn't much to cleanse even if we are going into a winston meta. And if you aren't using suzu for cleanse, suzu vs lamp is an interesting comparison, lamp theoretically can last longer, but has quite a longer CD.

[polar jay]

i thought kiriko would be op, but i cant tell if shes actually good cuz ive only bothered to play on my bronze acc w/ friends

[fathom igloo]

She's not really OP

She's good on some maps

[vocal glacier]

i guess monkey doesn't NEED speed boost so kiriko bap? but that doesn't sound right, Lucio ult is too good against multiple ults on key characters.

[polar jay]

kiriko can tp and save ppl which ig is her main selling point

and she can peel for other support

[fathom igloo]

Even then you got Moira who can do the same things

Well in a sense

[polar jay]

a good genji, trace, sombra still kills tho

[fathom igloo]

Honestly I would pick a soujourn over genji

Or over tracer

[vocal glacier]

lucio already does most of that and the only flanker on the map in OWL right now is usually a single genji/tracer/sombra. I think kiriko's good just lucio bap is appearing more and more to be wildly good in OWL and neither are getting nerfs supposedly.

[polar jay]

sojourn just op tho

[fathom igloo]

I mean yes and no at times she can be and other times not

She's good in a dive comp with d.va Lucio and tracer

[vocal glacier]

Sojurn's definitely in need of balancing.. She's been passing up every other DPS in pick rate the past 2-3 weeks.

[fathom igloo]

Are you talking OWL wise or regular game play

[vocal glacier]

OWL

a few times on control where teams bust out like sombra tracer are the exceptions otherwise it's basically sojurn+sombra/tracer/genji depending on the map/team.

[earnest leaf]

what makes kiriko so good is her movement and ability to duel

she also has really good single target healing

and her ult is fucking nutty

[vocal glacier]

so do you replace bap or lucio with her?

[earnest leaf]

i'm not too sure, but I think she would be ran with one of those

probably would end up on the map

[vocal glacier]

if monkey's meta i guess i could see teams not prioritizing speed boost as much as when zarya is.

[fathom igloo]

I could honestly see a meta with kiriko bap

[fathom igloo]

I mean before OW2 you saw a crap top of rein d.va

Like for a good year it was those two tanks sometimes Winston

[vocal glacier]

Sure.. was specifically talking about sojurn's pickrate the last few weeks in OWL since the zarya meta has started to spread across almost every team, there's been a lot less double dive DPS and now it's mostly Sojurn+dive.

[limpid grail]

pat cmon don't do this

alright I'm going to explain to you very simply why this character can be stupid sometimes

ranged healing
cannot be dived if you have half a brain
6 second teleport thats like a Winston leap through walls

wall climb

[earnest leaf]

120 headshot

[limpid grail]

like 120 headshot has to be the last straw
they are actually playing Russian roulette

who on the dev team said 2 shots from midrange would be okay

because it is bound to happen

[fathom igloo]

I mostly play tank and work on that

[limpid grail]

at some point

[fathom igloo]

Support is my least played role

[vocal glacier]

probably same guy who made zen.

[fathom igloo]

As I have 582 hours or smth on d.va

[limpid grail]

I'd say you're wrong but 50% discord orb with 3 second fade has gotta be the most short sighted thing in history
that or 600 hp brig shield

[cerulean onyx]

aahhhh brig with 600 shield

[vocal glacier]

zen does 120 headshots on discorded targets and his projectile is 20m/s faster.

[limpid grail]

why does a support
have a shield
with more hp
than some tanks

ljke

did they stop using their brains???

did they actively say
"nah I give up"

[cerulean onyx]

that's what they did with tryna balance 6v6

[limpid grail]

see that's true but consider the following
zen has to discord a target
and the target knows they are discorded

and he has no mobility

it is much harder to walk into a zen setup than it is to play defensively on one

with kiriko it sometimes actually doesn't matter what the setup is

[vocal glacier]

true zen's real 1 shot at long range is spamming chokes with 5 balls

[limpid grail]

I've played a ton of ranked games this past week

[cerulean onyx]

i hope kirikos bonus headshot dmg gets changed, it's just annoying

[limpid grail]

and without fail if I try to take a duel against someone out of position

Lord forbid they have a kiriko on the enemy team

[cerulean onyx]

her teleport THROUGH WALLS with NO animation time or channeling

like who thought that's fine

[limpid grail]

tp suzu 130hps hahahahahhahahhha I lost the duel

[vocal glacier]

outside of it being a spam tool it honestly does feel fine.

[limpid grail]

it's a cool ability to use
it's also plain stupid

hey

that reminds me of brig shield

[cerulean onyx]

it's fine to be able to teleport to ANYONE THROUGH WALLS with NO CAST TIME on a LOW CD

yea that's fine ig. sure

her entire kit is flawless

[vocal glacier]

was talking about 120 headshots his comment just happened to be a bit fast

[cerulean onyx]

ah

[limpid grail]

oh mb
see sometimes it's

[cerulean onyx]

i don't enjoy it, it's annoying. it does zen discord orb headshot dmg with a faster projectile even if it's a "Smaller" hitbox

its obnoxious to me even if it's the least of her issues

[limpid grail]

I can't even say sometimes
I just think it's a stupid addition to her threat level for no reason

[cerulean onyx]

^

[limpid grail]

it's like
if a kiriko hits you in the head you are suddenly in danger because you are below headshot hp threshold

and the best ones will just 2 tap you

[vocal glacier]

like in a dive scenario or close range fight zen or kiriko throwing out 120 dingers feels fine to me. Just kiriko launching them at chokes from super far ranges and fishing for headshots is obnoxious..

[cerulean onyx]

Then she has a PHENOMENAL game changing ult one of the best in all of OW, one of the best utilities in the entire game, great mobility and a get out of jail free card, above average healing

like she has

everything

she just needs a stun and a 600 hp shield lmao

[limpid grail]

I've just defaulted to playing hog a ton when I have a kiriko

because it's just pure idiocy being able to walk into the enemy team

hook and kill someone

and walk out

[cerulean onyx]

Hog may not be a meta hero or top tier but he can still just flatline and dog walk games

killing someone in an instant is still the greatest of all CC

[vocal glacier]

in quickplay hwne you sometimes get put with blatantly new players or people way lower ranks hog is hilarious because you start landing like 70% of your hooks on people who have horrid movement.

[cerulean onyx]

u can use him vs zarya but it's very risky. if the zar has any sort of understanding with CD management and a shred of good timing then hog is void

but it's fun to see a zar mald because u keep hooking her when her bubble comes down into focused fire. she can't stand and fight unless she has both bubbles ready or above 60 charge

[vocal glacier]

but unless they give hog truly outrageous buffs or nerf everyone into the ground i can't see him ever being meta in OWL when you only get 1 tank.

[limpid grail]

path is disgusting
the issue

is that like

nerfing path means NERFING path

[cerulean onyx]

path of exile?

[limpid grail]

and then it just doesn't feel like an ultimate

[vocal glacier]

[limpid grail]

but like even move speed and attack speed is a lot more broken than people think

[cerulean onyx]

path doesn't need to give both tbh

[limpid grail]

cdr is just a cherry on top that makes it uncontestable

[cerulean onyx]

i'd rather CDR + movement speed

[vocal glacier]

if you just delete the cooldown reduction from it entirely it's still a top tier ult..

[limpid grail]

you essentially can't peak it

[cerulean onyx]

movement speed stacked with attackspeed makes it kind of dehabilitating sometimes

[limpid grail]

very true

it's why mcrightclick goes crazy in there

because aiming suddenly becomes difficult

[cerulean onyx]

reaper is better off just shooting than ulting half the time

in her ult

[young fractal]

We're looking for moderators! Check #server-news for more information. Applications close <t:1667242800:R>.

[limpid grail]

especially with the cdr

he just shoots
wraith cancel
shoots

and murders something

[cerulean onyx]

imagine cole gun boy just spamming flash in her ult

[limpid grail]

woah there!

like I tried to think of ways to actually contest her ultimate and the only good way I could come up with is shatter

[vocal glacier]

brig shield bash stun with that CDR.. it would make goats absolutely disgusting

[limpid grail]

because no one in their right mind is getting hit by Flux in that thing
they just zoom everywhere

grav isn't even as good because they still have boosted attack speed and cds

so zarya can just blow up anyways

[vocal glacier]

You can kinda Dva ult in it to clear it up a bit they'll dodge the ult easily obviousl but you can force them off the path and get delay for a bit.

[limpid grail]

yeah that's the other option

issue being that dva ult just gets you killed because once again

move speed plus cdr

so they literally just need to sniff you

but at least you clear the path for the

[vocal glacier]

hopefully the ult forces them to not have the movespeed and CDR sinec they're actively dodging. But yeah the area path covers is disgusting.

[limpid grail]

7? characters who can't just mobility their way out of it

wait nah hog can survive it anyways

[vocal glacier]

💀

[limpid grail]

so can orisa sig zarya rein doom

JQ and ball typically have to move although ball is basically always fine

[cerulean onyx]

Can't wait to see how busted Mauga is gonna be

[vocal glacier]

lucio ult probably. Like honestly it's the only thing i can think of to counter kiriko ult. Or maybe hope your sojurn pops ult and just deletes them quick enough with 1 shots that the enemy can't just demolish your team with 25% attack speed.

[limpid grail]

and then dva will always be able to get a significant distance away if she just follows the path

because move speed on boosters is cracked

lucio ult is situational

because you can still die to a rein speed swinging

even if it is 10 seconds

[cerulean onyx]

rein swing in path is fucking absurd lmao

[limpid grail]

if he lands a charge you lose a solid portion of your overhealth and take 2 swings in a second

[vocal glacier]

oh shit mei wall.

[limpid grail]

well yeah technically Mei wall but that requires really good timing

[vocal glacier]

completely forgot that if you wall with a mei when you see the ult expanding it just completely stops at the mei wall drastically cutting down its zone.

given that mei's nowhere near meta outside of lucio+moira deathball it's kind of moot..

[limpid grail]

like even if it's the base zone the ultimate is still crazy unironically

because your entire team can just stand in it

and throw damage at the enemy team

[cerulean onyx]

yup

[limpid grail]

you essentially still have to disengage because you will lose a neutral fight anyways

[vocal glacier]

Symmetra wall might work as well though again another poo tier character.

[limpid grail]

sym wall is pretty good at blanket stopping everything anyways

besides rein obviously

one crucial thing that makes the ult even more insane is its interaction with ledges

you can pop the ult on high ground and the fox will run the set distance on low ground

[vocal glacier]

according ot the wiki mei's cyro freeze block can actually stop kitsune rush as well if you just ice block yourself right in front of the fox.

[limpid grail]

yep

[cerulean onyx]

that's weird lmao

[limpid grail]
