no thanks i have your mother and my girlfriend for that
Ok
MN3 is more consistent than Profit with tanks and supports that are three times as bad
Belosrea
Is better
Belosrea is equal on ball and worse on every other hero ten fold
Ok infernal supporter
Smurf is a top 2 winton, top 5 rein and most likely a good orisa
don't call me that
i am an MN3 and ZEST supporter
just like last year
nothing has changed
Ok mr belosrea supporter
fuck you
Head of the fixa fan club
that's Levi
Owner of an aimgod body pillow

Ok Mr Carpe supporter
nepotism sweep (not a bad thing here)
hello, did anyone get credits from callingallheroes at 18th december?
content creator
Random question do y’all want me to post signings of content creators or just owl players?
both are fine imo
given how bare the rosters are rn
she is pretty pretty
Seoul is a great team and I dislike the rest
fr has the hardest job ever
player manager on a team with striker and decay
which Seoul?
the good one
no way fusion also stole the font on “seoul” in addition to stealing the titans logo
the one with two players or the one with 0 players?
the "O" is taller for Infernal so it's a different font
they stretched it vertically a bit
like changing their friends homework
so the teacher doesn’t know he copied
Dynasty is better
that's true they have so many good players
such as assistant coach MMA
potentially even the return of head coach Tobi if they're feeling bold
who needs players with such a good coaching staff
<3
whos ur fav player on the team?
Idk man they all cool
oh no they don't know
name one
Forgor some of the names im very stupid
what names
they have no players silly
Wh
Gotta be specific when talking about Seoul these days
its fine
Anyone know if dallas has any more plans for roster signings?
IDK isn’t on dynasty
@hot onyx i brought my Fusion Jersey to the airport
Lord knows if someone actually recognises it
@sullen berry Kenobi TC 278?
Eh
Can we post photos here?
No but I have regular that grants me perms
Let's just say it was a mistake
to grant me this much power
@hot onyx my dad decided he will take the photo so long as I didn't manspread in public
time is a flat circle
very swag

im gonna need a shower after this one
Hey everyone, Im very very new here but Im very interested in pushing towards esports, I know this is sorta random but does anyone know a place to start?
Im a Tank Main in diamond at the moment
I stream and have a fulltime job, I could easily be masters with the proper dedication
I just have no idea where to start
I remember her when I was facing sleepy
We lost
YES, WE HAVE THE HOTTEST TEAM IN OWL
I've not competed outside of open division, so if you're having a hard time using the #lf-team-na or have no luck with our recruitment channels, there's a dedicated Calling All Heroes (CAH) discord server so you can get into esports from that angle, they're tournaments exclusively for women and marginalised genders
THANK YOU SO MUCH!
We have a team with this
I’m not saying anything but if shy told me to sit down and bark I might do it
A joint program of Overwatch and the Overwatch League, Calling All Heroes’ mission is to build an inclusive game and competitive environment for everyone. We are excited to announce a few initiatives this year that pursue that goal by focusing on equity, visibility, and community support for underrepresented genders.
Any simps?- Guxue
You are the best person on planet Earth
You only have two players, Mayhem are nothing but sexy

youre so down bad
please shut up
you would do the same
You lick abs
when
Everyday
lol the only people
U should apply to NYXL
Or six lmao 😂😂 what kind of team y’all trynna put me on! 😂
NYXL was trying to go for a Calling All Heroes type roster so only made up of women and marginalized genders

Just noticed this as my internet came back online, this is the best $8 spent for mobile data overseas
Ill check out NYXL though on a serious note :)) Maybe they just need a daddy rein to help them out
You can because you may have a genuine shot if you know how to market yourself and have the stats to back it up
You would think it goes for other OWL teams but NYXL is a special breed of innovation and unique this offseason
Valiant meanwhile are at the mercy of their operations company who are in China, not in Los Angeles
Insightful. I humbly recognize my potential. Ive been playing the game since its release. I know I’ll need some coaching and fine tuning + hours but Im a very dedicated player!
Used to be a Masters Rein at some point. My peak was like 3800 something . So I feel like if I had the right team it would be really fun!
Sadly , I am forced to be Momma Hog bc meta 🥲🥲
But thats okay, Im my chats Favorite Hooker 🪝
I’m genuinely curious if 34 Elims, 7 Assist, and 7 Deaths is a good start before trying competitive?
As Tank Role sorry
How Many minutes was the game?
9mins 33 seconds
Idk if that’s across all three matches or not
eh it's control
I'd say that's fair
if you go to three rounds you're gonna die at least twice
hmmmm
I'm high on hawk dva
not sure if it would be the same tier as smurf monkey
but
it's definitely better than false's
hey could someone ping me in this chat
want to check if ian is actively tracking my IP
huh 
@sullen berry
Thanks
We all know you lick abs
Yall need to have sex with men
This gave me a chuckle
it's to strong for us to comprehend
SparkR Lethal dps line about to be top tier
I didn’t watch eu contenders that much but is lethal that good?
Tbh just want to ask if we know why Shockwave haven’t been signed yet. Same as Kraandop
It's gonna be necros Sparker Backbone
Hoping for Dynasty announcements soon man 🤞
out of all the western dps talent in contenders Lethal is one of the few that is owl level
Backbone genji clears Necros 
Imagine
SPAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAACE!!!!!!!!
why is there no red regular role
I think Justice were supposed to do announcements this week I think that what they said last week
@haughty lichen
Yeah even tho T1 won Carpe did not look good hahah
Sayaplayer looks very good on T1 tho
Then again sayaplayer was also a good player on The Guard
Yay, sayaplayer
Thanks buddy that means alot coming from you
You are the young player full of potential
agreed....
it is like
endrick vs ronaldo
the future goat of his generation vs the number 2 of the previous 1
no
What
Hopefully another round of supports
Kiriko and Ana maybe
thanks man, any clue on date or ? i dont really watxh the e sports so i have no idea lmao
I have no clue on any of that, I'm just saying support because it started with supports
And I guessed on the heroes too
I'm just using my common sense

Yo boys what’s the best most stacked overwatch league team of all time? Basically GOAT Overwatch League team?
shock season 2 and 3
Pains me to say it but Shock this season
2019 Guangzhou Charge
carpe on fade very cringe
shock 2023, shock 2019-2020 shanghai dragons 2020-2021 dallas fuel 2021-2022
So there’s a lot of really good teams? Which one was the most dominant?
Does anybody know anything about the world cup?
is it SUPPORT or HEALER lets settel this
Deffo support
ur weird asf
It literally says support ingame
Damn.
When is league or anything coming back I need them reinhardt skins
main support flex support moment
Lol only metal rank mercy one tricks
Think it’s healer
no way this person thinks it's healer
Its support since healing falls under supporting but supporting does not fall under healing
Prime example ana sleep dart
It doesnt heal anyone
But anyways when is league coming back I need free skins
Fr and he calls me weird lol
April
Does anyone know anything about the world cup?
Does anyone know anything about any event which could get me any free skin
Please let me know
if you're talking about overwatch's https://overwatch.blizzard.com/en-us/news/23892139/
Thx, but I've seen that, I was just wondering if there where any more precise dates
Not as of yet
Let me know as well
pov you dont play ow anymore
pov you just unlocked winged victory
Gladiators 2021, they actually won something!
surely
shanghai 2021
^
Fuel was better during the season, Shanghai were better in the playoffs
during the season?
shanghai literally won 2 tournies
That's why I made the distinction
Dragons were better when playoffs came, but Fuel performed slightly better before playoffs
three tournament wins and one finals appearance
except shanghai had a better regular season record
It's time to play "Whose involved with leakmafia and bullying pokemon pat on twitter"
https://twitter.com/leakmafia_OW/status/1614724052593135619?t=HY5Ei1kFicuW2rReLhR_Tw&s=19
not to mention there's no way you consider a team with NO HITSCANS better than a team with a complet eroster
records don't really mean anything, Mayhem had a good record in 2020 but they were still terrible
Pokemon pat is such a friendly guy
then whats your basis
on fuel being better regular season
more competition that they beat compared to shanghai
Mayhem didn't even have a top 3 record in their region
not to mention all the shitter teams in NA
except shanghai beat the competition that fuel fought whenever shanghai met them
ngl the only team I considered shitter tier were the Valiant
but that's because bts and the coach are terrible
Spitfire were reconstructing their roster and Titans just couldn't play in the new meta
jungkook really threw the titans season
so they were shitters
because they werent good
you can not be good and not be shitters as well.
Personally I don't like calling any team shitters because every team has their ups and downs, but as a glads fan we have too many fluctuating performances
i don't consider 1-15 as an equal level of ups and downs
but I thought your team was the GOAT?
Shu and Skewed carried the team though tbf
we were the GOAT because of those 2
skewed did not carry
Kevster was good when he was allowed to play Tracer
tracer was meta for 75% of the season
trust me
the only time tracer wasnt played
was when she got banned
neo goats
if kevster had to swap heroes cause the meta depended on it
he would of and still popped off
if you didn't know
he is a hyper flex
no he wouldnt
neo goats
reaper
Kev can not play Reaper
was the bird reaper
Bird was the hit-scan player I believe yeah
Pain.
dot dot dot
BQB Yaki era mayhem were not anywhere near terrible lol
6th in reg season
4th in playoffs pre region merge
2nd in May melee and 3rd-4th in CC
Agreed, they just had Shitter tanks and average support lines
we might've let fits and smurf go but at least we kept the goat 
@strong temple we back at it again this week 
Seoul's star dps did not get picked up by the other Seoul team, to the rejoice of nobody who saw it coming
pog
seoul saving other teams from picking up midfit 🙏
🙏
he will prove the haters wrong
Trust guys it's his year this time, he totally is a top 2 dps player and a hyperflex that can carry games like proper and kevster
yessirr
Based
you let go of the goat
yea
So wtf do I do now with this 
we just let go of some random tank
Also I'm still spending all of today wearing the only OWL jersey I brought with me
save it for 2024
If I knew the boomers I'm traveling with would fit the other 12 jerseys I had then we would be kinda popping
yaki clears profit any day of the week if his team isn't full of flower sniffers
is there a Hangzhou Spark Ado jersey in the collection?

#Profit #TigerNation...
what does one have to do to begin an overwatch team?
like
obvi not overwatch league but like
does it just have to be a group of people?
You can have a listen to my interview with a pro player, it just kind of happens if you make it or not. You should definitely join teams that are not only focused on the same things as you are but you really want to grow and challenge yourself and the players you are with to succeed
I’m tryna go pro on gang
Might not know if this is true but I heard Yaki might be joining glads
would certaintly be a welcome one
Yeah would for sure be a good signing for glads
We already won the signs this year
Gladiators, always have been lmao
Ow lmao
yeah I'm glad we've been performing way better these last 2-3 years
We aren't terrible but we used to choke some very important matches
Atleast we're consistently top 5 for regular season
I wonder how this affects my profits return to London theory
i am sad that he is resigned
i rather him go to na
W
Profit slander smh
Quick question how do I watch the Overwatch league
on the owl yt channel
Thank you
i think so
$545,530 approximate winnings according to liquipedia
on top of a 50k minimum salary for 6 years
but it is likely that he gets paid over 100k for each year since he has name value
name value shitter
just like post-2018 ronaldo!
real
realer words have never been spoken
Profit is just like Striker Ans and Fury
hasn't been good since 2020 and still receives big cash in the hopes that he returns to form
disagree
profit was A tier in 2022
and was not good in 2020
or 2021
sorry i conveniently forgot about summer showdown and countdown cup in 2020
just like a majority of profit simps
and 75% of may melee
precisely
Real
last point, promidfit being real
real
just fusion both regions tbh
and mix hours, like encore for Korea and some live for them
or make teams going to Korea for one Tournament
although too late, looking at ex philly
I mean it is obvious that Profit is not the best player in the league anymore. But considering he has been in the league for 6 years he is still one of the better flex dps out there
And imo he should get the respect he deserves
Also want people to realize the level of play has been a lot higher these days. As an Atlanta Reign fan I have to respect him
Problem is that the league isn’t really doing enough to blend the two regions. Maybe more homestands or something?
Tbf Zest looking like the next big thing. Also want to add some other flex dps on that list like Proper, Kevster, Stalk3r, Pelican, Heesang,…
Profit rank 2 goat
rascal #1
Carpe the eternal number 2 til he went valorain't
Now he’s last
Bro how is Profit not the number 1 OWL goat. Been a starter in the league since it was founded. Bro deserves respect
He is not the best flex dps anymore but I just have to respect him
The one who deserved respect was Supertf for those cosplays
So has anamo
We probably won’t see apac announce until like February
At least spark plans to announce there roster towards the end of February im guessing other apac teams probably do the same
according to some bad translation Spark going budget
Ah I think dragons aret going budget
The org is very big company as far as I know
honestly also true
True but I think dragons probably do fine netease seems to be making money even after the blizzard deal thing
Plus I wanna see what moon has cooking up with rookies
Surprisingly topdragon and specta aret sign still as far as I know
most companies have the monies, just OWL hasnt been profitable and managed in a messy way. The failed Fusion Stadium, the travels around the world. All of it was ambitious and weirdly managed but was mostly PR stuff to keep investors.
Wast the fusion statium failure due to Covid tho?
Ya
Would have been really cool to see it
Plus owl spitting into regions probably impact it
It would be really cool if teams did what Seoul and Washington did last year where they live stream a scrim
To stop an early rumour dead in its tracks.
Multiple sources have confirmed that the Guangzhou Charge ARE NOT disbanding and they WILL be fielding a team for the 2023 season
Prob La valiant disbanding no?
Can we get another eu team or Chicago or Seattle team?
Like we need it lmao
why the fuck would na need another team
No one wants to spend 30 to 60 millions in a zombie franchise for a slot
aight so EU team
if OWL was a tad bit sucefull maybe orgs would be joining
na mfs be like ''i want my hometown to be represented with their own team!!''
but many teams owners have been complaining or regretting getting into.
u have like 10 choices
They need to have homestands again imo. More weekly things to make the apac teams involved with the na teams
Separating the league in two divisions just not working if I am being honest
covid is like a lot better. Get some homestands. Move the teams or some shit
yeah, but Bobby is busy in his pool of money and like i said, investors arent like happy
where do I go to look for an esports team to join good sirs and ladies?
Yeah I know but they need to turn this around
ebay
they cant
❤️
bro no way you for real?
It can with actual good management
if they want more teams, people in APAC should buy slots, but still expensive to buy slots
Still, you need to throw millions
League is hemorrhaging money
we're getting 1/2 years of owl max
if anything to save it its like rebuild the entire league and return money to their investors and open slots.
wdym open slots?
And returning money? That is not gonna be an option for these greedy mfers on top
Then there is no way for other orgs joins
Franchising kills esports imo
Riot is now doing franchised and I am gonna bet you right now they are gonna make it work
the slots are expensive
Well at least the price for a slot
Because the teams that are in challengers can actually RANK up into franchise as far as I understand it
Riot has money
riot already has a competitive scene, overwatch had tiny tournaments compared to league
And been in the esports longer then blizzard
Sorry but I don't buy for a minute that Blizzard has no money. It's just really poorly runned by the higher ups
apex and other ow tourneys were just for fame, no millions to be made
and their most sucessful esport was Starcraft
Good management is key
years ago.
''good management''
alright buddy
tell them how to do it
let the 14 year old explain it to them
go ahead
It also worth mentioning
First of all I am 19 second of all I am not studying in management
Riot doesn’t profit off lol esports
Wait really?
At least according to reports that they don’t profit apparently
That makes OWL even more bad lmao
they profit off the sales from merch and in-game items right
they lose money on tournaments but tournaments drive so many people to the game it evens out
also blizz handled the merch in a wrong way and took time for them to release it and letting orgs to have their stuff
And the sponsors
plus they had a list of which sponsors can accept and which ones no.
paris merch 
Most of them were friends with Bobby
Didn’t like blizzard move there merch to a different website?
well yeah the orgs need merch because they needed to pay millions of dollars to even get in the league😂 😂
bro's are broke
so this why they couldnt have Pepsi sponsoring OWL since Bobby its in the chair of Coke lol.
no, they were handled first by them, then to fnatic, then to the orgs.
but now we're just dragging a dead corpse over the finish line
once contracts run out teams will pull out
Honestly they could be big just shot themselves in the foot many times with poor decisions
Couldn’t find the merch after the fnatic thing lol
i dont think franchising was a bad thing, just way too expensive and out of proportions and reality of what they wanted.
and they cant lower the price or the orgs would get mad
its still so weird to me how we only get content during the main season, ur telling me u cant do a few monthly scrims to keep interest in players
they already spent 60 millions on a slot, why would you offer a slot for like 10 millions.
Honestly I would like to have blizzard force teams to have a contenders team
bECaUSe iTs UnSporTman-like
not happening with these teams that already dont care
they had
it would be fucking dope if we could see some fantasy rosters play eachother on a monthly basis in the off-season
they had their academies lol
prophet, proper profit dps line
and flopped
if they force it teams will just do the bare minimum
yea, because keeping 2 teams was much money
Ya
and rn asking orgs to do even more with owl will just kill owl even quicker
Yup
Still no info on the World Cup?
world cup will be played in my basement in april.
nope, and thats would be like their last hope lol
when almost no one joins and you see how other teams cant afford the planet tickets
or getting bad organization to get a place to practice before OWWC

Who do y’all think Korea team gonna be?
best case scenario we get xqc to play for canada
Ya proper on there but like who else
sounds like a joke but xqc could keep world cup alive
This is true
depends on if they're still doing the different roster every year
or if they're doing duplicates again
Haksal out of retirement
Don't let that fraud coach
Still a genji one trick in my eyes
Crusty is a bum
CRUSTY BEST COACH 2023!
Someone who picked idk is not a good coach
valiant gonna pick whatever and not paying them
Ya but hak and bumper are probably very cheap by now
does anyone have any idea when we'll get the grand finals sojourn skin..? We were supposed to get it a while ago right?
He was the best kr ms at the time
And I’m p sure you had to be older than 18 so no LJG
It was him or slime
LMAO
💀 what the f
Well leauges been going on as long as it is
But the people that run leauge arent borderline stupid
Unlike the twat that is running owl
Or hell the fact blizzard is being held hostage by bobby kotick is already a failure
Does anyone here use earbuds for playing?
I been thinking about using earbuds but idk which are good lol
headphones
headphones, non logitech, beyerdynamics, but they arent for gaming
if you want something boomy, check the HyperX Cloud
as for ear buds, throw them or just use it for music.
🤓
I use a Razer headset
i use today's sponsor Raycon
the sound it brings out when i play Raid Shadow Legends and listen to Audible audiobooks is so crisp, it really compliments my freshly shaved nutsack after using the Manscaped Lawnmower 3.0
raycon is like unironically shit tho idk how they got so much money
your team is unironically shit
it's too bad that once they sign A1ien Clestyn Mag Sanguinar Iris and Teru that there will be no more title winning talent for the Dynasty to pick up
they gonna sign Sparkr
All mid players
Except iris
Mag is him
Who
Asked ?
Sans did
How can get them ?
best hitscan in contenders top 5 off tank potential top 5 main tank at peak top 10 main support top tier kiriko that carried Superbitch to 4th in playoffs and a debatable top 5 flex support
that is above average in comparison to the competition, not mid
weird how the person that is asian cannot comprehend simple mathematics
mid
how hard is it to climb with ana out of silver? i got placed silver even tho i feel like i deserve diamond so how can i rank up to my desired rank?
Ask @willow drum he is a silver ana turned diamond
^ this
I'm trying to do the arcade gamemodes but I'm sitting in 8 minutes queues. What is the most played Arcade mode so that I can do my weekly challenges (Other than the limited time Olympia one because I'm in a party)
Nolimits 3v3
Depends on how much time
You can put into this shit game
its not hard
support is an easy role
if u have good mechanics as ana it'll be the easiest thing youve ever done
unless theyre playing kiriko
but even then silver players are ass they will probs use suzu off cd
where
What do you do with legacy credits nothing?
Anyone want to join a group
qp or comp?
Anyone want to join a group
lmao mf just ignores the question
go eat oatmeal
Doing that rn
Anyone want to join a group
no lol
support is not an easy role
you have to worry about ppl diving on you focusing you and other factors while keeping your team alive
people who say support is an easy role don't actually play support and just like to trashtalk the other supports
agreed
Support is a pretty easy role until you get to high ranks. And even there your kit has so much power FS wise you can slack off
Support is easier compared to tank and dps
tbh dps is the easiest role but also the 2nd most stressful
Dps is the hardest role
Rn playing support is like playing dead by daylight
It really isn’t
It’s a hog meta
Just heal your hog and don’t peek their hog at all
That doesn’t make it any better for supports
it makes it easier
Than dps and tank
Dps and tank have to peek hog to do anything or flank/off angle which is harder
And supports have to heal everyone, provide utility, and watch out for flankers and oneshots
Dps have to watch for flankers and one shots and trying to kill the enemy is a lot harder than healing your team
It’s easier to dive a dps than a support tbh
Killing is way easier since damage is higher than healing atm
some have invul others have 100hp instant heal
what healing your team you don’t have to expose yourself to danger at all and your team isn’t actively trying to avoid your shots
So that’s why whenever people play dive to go after the supports
Supports are more important but they are stupid characters with tp immortality insta heals
Five second cc
I don’t know what game you are playing, but when you are healing your team, they are usually pushing and you need to follow them
Like it or not, it’s the only think keeping the support role alive rn
Ok but you can still heal them without exposing yourself to danger
Until they los you
It's a easy role
Support players are the biggest crybabies
If they los you it’s their fault
It's actually insane
you don’t have to peek them
So if they push to get space it’s their fault?
I'm worse on support than on tank and dps yet my impact in games is 10 times as high because the average level of support is so low
play support and find out.
If you are actively putting yourself in a bad spot to heal them then yes
I have the lowest time on support and it’s my highest role
If u think support is just healing and keeping the team alive then ur proving my point
dps you just damage and tanks are versatile
Most support players don't even understand the role of their hero It's crazy
Isn’t it proving their point since they need to do all that + more?
most dps players don't understand how support works and it just sounds like you're getting mad
Keeping ur team alive isn't hard by default
How challenging it is depends on various factors
Ok, but the top 500 support mains share the same feeling of support being the hardest and unfun
Most kits are actually loaded
keeping your team alive is extremely hard when you have to focus on 3-4 people at at a time while managing your own cooldowns and positioning
Ask dps and tank players what they think
It isn't
Why
Next thing you're gonna tell me is that dps is the hardest role in the game right?
Quote?
see if they have different answers
Fdps is yeah
Literally just watch their streams
I agree
Because they need to grind a shitton of heros
Okay
Hitscan is rather easy
do you really think kiriko ana bap zen is harder than genji echo tracer
I bet you scream at your supports when you 1v5 behind 5 walls
Because raw mechanics can just carrie u
Cope
Give me names
That’s what you are doing
Kiriko alone could match tracer in terms of difficulty but We're talking about the role itself and not just the heroes in that category
When it's literally proven that it's the most boosted role
yeah a lot of people think support is the hardest role, you're just one out of the bunch
Gonna provide proof on that?
Hence why the support gap is always insanely noticeable
Ask any GM+player
They will tell u that supports are usually the worst players in the lobby
no it's usually the dps players that are the worst but keep dreaming
It's also why u notice the difference between a good support and a shit support
Shit supports can still get away by healbotting
They wont carrie u or have massive impact yet they can still win
Supports have a huge impact on the game though/
but you're not providing any actual evidence as to why support is the 'easiest' role
That doesn’t prove that it is easy
There is heros like mercy who's whole point is to pocket
You didn't provide anything I see. You were just talking about shit supports healbotting can have impact
That doesn't prove that the role is 'easy'
What makes you think dps are the bad players
yalls reading comprehension is hella funny
yeah an Orisa can soak up damage and provide value but that doesn't mean Orisa is easy by default
At least I’m not the one who thinks support is easier than dps
nah man dps is clearly the hardest role in the game 
just because they can 'do damage' and provide value
Do you think soldier shooting hogs wins games
Dps are currently controlling this game, tanks are super buffed and running around…and supports stayed the same pretty much
But kiriko holding left click on yours does
Okay let me rephrase it to you so even yall get it:
-support is not a hard role to play at a baseline level in OW because you can get away easily with ur mistakes and still win, prime example here is mercy.
As someone who used to boost/knows boosters I also know that the demographic that wants boosts is nearly always supports that claim their team holds them back.
ofc mastering support, especially flex support isn't easy like my highest peak on support only was like 3800 and in OW 2 it was diamond 2 (I'm also washed tho).
the problem isn't with any of the roles is that the dps is far too high right now for any hero outside of Orisa
Orisa literally does insane damage
I wasn't talking about how high her damage is, she's literally the only tank that can deal with the outright insane damage levels right now
Now to elaborate my point
The problem people have with her is how survivable she is
the problem is with this, yeah sure, you can pocket one person but you're leaving the other support to have to do all the heavy lifting which makes the work-load extra hard
It isn’t because pocketing a good dps just makes them kill one
A lot of supports have abilities that make up for their shit positioning/decision making.
Most support players do not use these abilities correct and waste them on them self causing their teams to lose fights etc.
yet they can still get away with it because as long as they healbot they provide at least some value
This leads to a lot of bad players climbing the ranks on support
u don't have that for dps (besides specific metas) or tanks (same case here, mainly in OW1)
Supports still need to think about their positioning, just because they have ways to manage their positioning if they're out of position doesn't excuse the fact that they shouldn't even be in that spot to begin with.
That is more of a player issue than a support role issue
Supports can get away with it though
Dps can’t
so supports rank despite making that mistake
Also back when I coached in OW1 (for example HSR panthera a team that had several tier 2 players in it) I noticed that too
What dps
The difference between supports in GM was insane
Again, they shouldn't even be in that position to begin with.
Dps have way more mobility than support
Like no other role had such a gap between players
Every single hero needs to think about their positioning
So…how does that prove support is easy
?????
It's especially relevant for supports since supports are the back-bone of the team
I'm not denying that, I'm just saying Supports have to think about their positioning way more than say a Genji or Junkrat
Positioning and decision making is what separates players at the top in most cases
Bullshit lol
Have u ever played genji in a high elo game
Or a high elo scrimm
Have you played support in a high elo game?
Yes
Genji is far more mobile than any support outside of Kiriko, so he can afford to make a small mistake a lot more than a support can.
Not go mention he has deflect
His mobility isn't nearly as forgiving as u think it is in higher level games lmfao
But supports are?
Some backwards logic you have there
They are forgiving because they can still have impact while having shit cooldown usage
U don't have that with dps
they don't have impact if their positioning is shit, the dps role is generally just a lot more mobile overall and can afford to be out of position since they have ways of escape, only a few supports have means of escaping
You miss sleep and anti, how does that provide impact
That provides an in for a genji or tracer
Or Winston
If ur shit positioned as a dps u don't have a way of escaping
guess I've been playing ana wrong
It's so much more
That makes it worst for supports, they have to deal with the onslaught of 3-5 players, while keeping their team alive
m8 you missed the point entirely.
If u use ur antis for 1v1s then ur literally the typa player I'm talking about
If you'd kept reading, I was well aware that you're not supposed to use anti for 1v1s.
And you say our reading comprehension is hella funny
Ur sentence implied that u said antis is used for 1v1s and questioned my statement
.
Implies that u "mocked" my sentence because I said it shouldn't be used for 1v1s
May I ask what yall ranks are btw
It's because we both already knew that Anti shouldn't be used for 1v1s.
doesn't seem like it
I was making that joke that you assumed that we both thought that anti was meant to be used in a 1v1 scenario
but keep jumping to conclusions instead of reading everything first
your reading comprehension must be off then
I peaked Gold in OW1, not sure how rank matters when all of this is basic gamesense.
Gm2 support
Oh you're that person.
Or 4
Then ur one of the boosted ppl I mean fasho
I always get the numbers mixed up
Because no way an actual GM support thinks the role isn't massively inflated and easy to have impact with
if I were you I'd just stop talking to him, he's one of those people that think ranks is the difference between stupid or smart
he's clearly a troll that wants attention
So if someone is lower rank than you, they are bad…but if they are higher, they are boosted?
If u, a gold player, tries to lecture me about how ow works I'm just gonna laugh
Who said ur higher :^)
anyways, let's get into some actual OWL discussion.
Who do you think one the trades this year?
I'd say Glads had a solid pickup in Kai
Glads…I wonder what this year will look like
Any dps player is a good pickup because it's an easy role
Maybe we won't choke as much this year
without Shu and Skewed we're gonna need some heavy kevster carrying
But looks like they will keep the traditional new main tank every year XD
who's their new main tank? I only know that we've picked up Kai unless he's the main tank
Kai isn't confirmed
It's heavily speculated we'll be getting him though
yeah but far from confirmed
If only we had fucking Lip but he's on reign
Well is on the fact that Reiner is gone (probably to Toronto with the rest of American tornado)
Lip + Kai would be pretty devastating
So unless they get an old mt they once had
It's most likely danteh
Danteh would be a nice pairing with kevster
New gladiators roster looks anything but inspiring tbh
We needed to keep Shu and Skewed tbh
I’m not so high on Kai rn, kinda had an eh end of season
they carried the Glads for most of 2020-2021
Lastro is a insane downgrade
Neither shu nor skewed played for glads in 2020
It wash Shaz and Goose in season 3
Can’t wait to hear the casters mess up lastro and funnyastro
huh, was fairly certain they did but it might've been later on in the season
Nice you included wash
I miss Goose tbh
Both skewed and shu were S4 pickups
Goose was a fairly solid Lucio
Shus Baptiste carried charge with Eileen's genji to their only title
Also goose was dogshit
Shu's Bap is fucking nuts
he's the reason I'm currently 'one-tricking' Bap
He was a good Lucio for S1 when Dhak was considered a top 3 Lucio lol
? They had a top 5 orisa in Rio (god)
tbf, Goose could only really play Lucio lol
The best off-season is either Atlanta or shock
he was mediocre on every other pick
reign szn
Vindaim is a top 2 ms
I still worry about hawk being the solo tank
Kevster is best tracer NA
?
Proper is clear
I'm the biggest kevster fan since 2019 because he rolled everyone on the EU ladder
But proper is clear and it has also been stated by coaches lol
Kevster won the title for the glads with his bomb play tbh
Dpei who literally worked with kevster said that proper is better because he can vocalize his thoughts perfectly with the team
Has proper been diffed at all this season?
I wonder how he'll perform with a different support lineup
And he told kevster that he needs to do the same to improve
Kevster was crazy good with shaz and goose
Man Gladiators are a wild team
He will be the only championship level player on glads tho lol
Didn’t proper win roty and mvp
Shu challenged him for that title tbh
when he was on glads
his bap and zen are fucking clean
It will be 2018 Glads all over again and Idk how to feel about it
you don’t think the bird was championship lvl?
Kai Kevster Yaki Danteh and a OT that I can't leak+lastro funnyastro and potentially a new fs
??
That's the reddit dream roster right there
why is lastro hyped
Because he played Lucio and ppl always overhype supports
There is literally ppl that think crimzo is a class player
The disparity between supports is the biggest in any role in tier 1 tbh
Especially mainsupp
Ch0r0ng
I forgor him
