pearl cedar
#

so im happy she's a viable tank option

devout topaz
#

"the best dps players in the world... playing tanks"

clear pollen
#

i instantly bought the nutcracker skin when i saw it

pearl cedar
#

Hey man, shadowburn won for his team with genji

#

xD

#

oh hell yea

#

i love zen

halcyon nymph
#

i wish i could spam pharah

pearl cedar
#

he's my favourite support

#

he has really good damage output

clear pollen
#

throwing golden nuts at my enemies

#

lol

pearl cedar
#

disgustingly underrated damage output actually

halcyon nymph
#

i guess i'll just spam mei in defense tho, she's so much fun

pearl cedar
#

people dont expect the headshots

#

lol

#

mei is decent in defense

clear pollen
#

yeah you can really fuck up a dva/roadhog

pearl cedar
#

honestly, im not like most people

clear pollen
#

since their critboxes are really big

pearl cedar
#

i dont care what people pick in solo queue

#

as long as they're successful with it

#

and make it work

#

and if they DONT make it work

#

they switch to something that will be useful to the team

#

like if we're running 1 heal and a symmetra

#

and the symmetra is ass

#

i hope they swap to a 2nd healer

#

ya feel me?

clear pollen
#

i usually only play zen in a typical 2/2/2 lineup

halcyon nymph
#

symmetra is so stupid

#

i had soooo many games where i was 50+% ult charge

pearl cedar
#

idk, its too early to tell

halcyon nymph
#

before even seeing the enemy team

pearl cedar
#

how's the shield aspect of the ult

#

i havent played with sym since the changes

#

been busy

halcyon nymph
#

idk, atleast i'm like 99% sure

#

she'll be permapicked on 2cp point B

#

and she'll make it sooooo much harder to take it

pearl cedar
#

her turrets charge faster

clear pollen
#

the shield is great, effectively cancels roadhog's oneshot

pearl cedar
#

apparently

halcyon nymph
#

yeah

pearl cedar
#

like even when you kill them

#

she can replace them faster

halcyon nymph
#

the turrets charge really fast

#

like wat i've been doing

#

is just rush enemy door

#

setup 6 turrets somewhere near that

#

and enjoy the free 50% ult charge to start the game

clear pollen
#

sometimes i've been able to leash a mercy flying the sky

#

that 8m range is ridiculous

pearl cedar
#

You know, i actually dont like playing soldier

halcyon nymph
#

can even be lucky and kill a squishy if it focus fires him and they don't react fast enough

pearl cedar
#

there's alot of pressure on you

#

especially if the enemy team picks mercy

#

its basically your job to kill her

#

or else you'll lose the teamfight

balmy wolf
#

Has the game started?

pearl cedar
#

cause she'll res everyone you just killed

clear pollen
#

i mean once you get the beam charged up, you can do some serious work

halcyon nymph
#

yeah

pearl cedar
#

i like playing dva more cause

halcyon nymph
#

I think symmetra is 1v1 god now

balmy wolf
#

C9 stomping?

pearl cedar
#

i only have 1 job on dva

#

-> get in soldier's face

clear pollen
#

i've gotten a nanoboost once, and i just mircowaved em all

pearl cedar
#

@balmy wolf game hasn't started yet

#

oh right

halcyon nymph
#

i don't think there's any hero that can 1v1 symmetra, maybe besides mei

balmy wolf
#

someone said yeah :c

pearl cedar
#

C9 has probably one of the best tank players in the world

#

in kyky

clear pollen
#

mei and mcree are the only things you gotta worry about

halcyon nymph
#

and even for mei, i think a well timed E from symmetra just wins her the 1v1

pearl cedar
#

kyky is such a good dva

#

anyway

clear pollen
#

Those mccree clips make me cri eritime

pearl cedar
#

im looking forward to seeing some surefour/mendo carry

onyx shore
#

yeah rachel

clear pollen
#

i wanna see one of them play mccree/genji but they prolly won't

pearl cedar
#

i think

#

we'll either see mendo's genji

#

or surefour's mccree

#

he picks it sometimes in clutch situations

#

oh right, recently surefour picked tracer

clear pollen
#

both play a good mccree

pearl cedar
#

and got 2 kills in a 1v4

#

yeah, both of them play a good mccree

clear pollen
#

although i'd rate surefour as a better mccree

balmy wolf
#

They both play the same heroes

pearl cedar
#

but mendo plays a better genji than surefour imo

clear pollen
#

for sure

#

four sure

pearl cedar
#

and surefour plays a better mccree

clear pollen
#

but who's the better tracer

pearl cedar
#

but they're both pretty much on the same level

#

I actually dont know

#

and i watch them play alot

clear pollen
#

and then who's the better soldier

pearl cedar
#

both on stream nad in tournies

#

surefour's better soldier

clear pollen
#

both have insane tracking

pearl cedar
#

i think

#

his tracking is pretty lit

#

mendo has good tracking too but i think he carries harder on genji

clear pollen
#

it honestly blows my mind how accurate they are

pearl cedar
#

he's like an NA shadowburn

#

yeah, you'd think that once you're in diamond

#

you might be comparable

#

to one of these guys

#

then you watch them and go

clear pollen
#

technically shadowburn is gonna be NA soon

pearl cedar
#

the skill gap is just

#

fucking night and day honestly

balmy wolf
#

wut @clear pollen

clear pollen
#

faze is moving to NA soon

#

team house and everything

balmy wolf
#

Oh really?

clear pollen
#

they haven't decided on a location yet, but its happening

balmy wolf
#

Well there goes the NA #2 spot

clear pollen
#

im guessing they're trying to get all the visas worked out

#

i'd imagine its hard to get a visa for shadowburn

#

zombs and forsaken are already in NA i think

balmy wolf
#

They're all in NA right now

clear pollen
#

well i mean current resident status

#

oh well apparently 3 of them are NA, so they only have to move 3 people

pearl cedar
#

you know

#

if you look up c9

#

it says mendo is from europe

#

but he has a canadian english accent

#

like north american

balmy wolf
#

He is from Europe

pearl cedar
#

is he actually?

clear pollen
#

swedish

balmy wolf
#

Yes

pearl cedar
#

has he just spent a long time in NA?

balmy wolf
#

He taught himself english through the internet

#

Probably picked up the accent

#

by immitating them

pearl cedar
#

LOL MENDO

#

i love this guy

clear pollen
#

MENDO

balmy wolf
#

He's been in NA for like

#

A month or so

#

maybe a bit more

pearl cedar
#

lmfao

#

when mendo is better in the interview

#

than the interviewer

#

seagull is huge

#

LUL

#

holy shit the memes from this interview o.o

forest raven
#

BLESS YOU CHILD

#

Fuck i love Mendo

pearl cedar
#

Er random question

#

why is seagull so popular?

#

i know he's a good genji but

balmy wolf
#

Great streamer

pearl cedar
#

what did he play before OW

#

or was it only OW that he played

#

?

balmy wolf
#

TF2

forest raven
#

He got in early

pearl cedar
#

ah i see

forest raven
#

One of the first to stram OW

pearl cedar
#

gotcha that makes sense

clear pollen
#

"bless mendo"

#

i member when seagull played tf2 and said he was gonna try to stream overwatch if anyone cared

balmy wolf
#

He is just a really good streamer

#

and he's a good player

clear pollen
#

he originally thought nobody was gonna watch

pearl cedar
#

ah

clear pollen
#

little did he know

pearl cedar
#

i personally like both surefour and mendo's streams

#

they made OW fun for me to watch

forest raven
#

Yeah, Seag's personality is very accommodating

pearl cedar
#

hella entertaining guys

forest raven
#

Mendo and Surefour are just total memers

clear pollen
#

personally i was hooked by seagull's personality and gameplay

balmy wolf
#

He's just very informative aswell

forest raven
#

Which is why I love them

balmy wolf
#

Not toxic at all

pearl cedar
#

i honestly never had a team where I liked every single player on that team

balmy wolf
#

really nice guy

pearl cedar
#

c9 is good at recruiting likeable people lol

forest raven
#

While I don't know the personality's of Ryb and Roolf, I do like everyone else on c9

#

Debitt and Reaver were ๐Ÿ‘Ž

clear pollen
#

i think its safe to say from the streams that new c9 has gelled very well

balmy wolf
#

I dont think they were toxic really

pearl cedar
#

yea i think there was just a clash of personalities on the roster at that time

balmy wolf
#

Reaver was terrible

#

Debett was great imo

forest raven
#

I don't think Reaver and Debitt were toxic

#

Just like

#

Dude bro

pearl cedar
#

i wasn't following overwatch until the world cup

clear pollen
#

debett was kinda dickish on stream tho

#

like to randos in ranked

balmy wolf
#

ooo

#

C9 has a coach now

#

Finally

pearl cedar
#

do they?

clear pollen
#

does NRG have a coach?

pearl cedar
#

I feel like its hard to get a coach for overwatch

#

because of how new the game is

forest raven
#

THEY DO @balmy wolf

#

FINALLY

pearl cedar
#

but they could get a life coach or an analyst who's watching vods for em

balmy wolf
#

๐Ÿ‘๐Ÿป

pearl cedar
#

and just pulling up stats for them

clear pollen
#

i mean all you really need a clear mind who is looking at the big picture

#

as a player its easy to tunnel vision

pearl cedar
#

yea

#

tbh i think if c9's gonna lose

#

itll be on a 2CP map or KOTH

#

they're pretty good at payload maps

balmy wolf
#

I believe Mendo is better than Surefour

#

fite me

forest raven
#

c9 has a lot of individual skill, they just needed a coach to really pool it into strong team cohesion

pearl cedar
#

@clear pollen players have to be coachable too

#

like willing to listen to and adjust to play according to their coach

balmy wolf
#

Wait

pearl cedar
#

while also being able to voice their opinions too

balmy wolf
#

Hmm

pearl cedar
#

its gotta be a dynamic environment

balmy wolf
#

Rachel, Monte, HuK and Flame

pearl cedar
#

the most effective coaching is when you have reliable out of game coaching that can help influence your team leaders

balmy wolf
#

Is ster casting?!

#

STER?!

pearl cedar
#

zp is casting

forest raven
#

God I hope so

#

LUL

pearl cedar
#

and someone else

#

i think?

forest raven
#

ZP and DoA

pearl cedar
#

zp and doa maybe?

forest raven
#

?

balmy wolf
#

`pls

#

pearl cedar
#

onyx shore

pearl cedar

#

LOL

forest raven
#

Used to be a big caster for Halo

pearl cedar
#

two unknowns i guess

balmy wolf
#

ugh fuck

forest raven
#

When Halo was esports

balmy wolf
#

Why not ZP and Ster?

pearl cedar
#

i wont judge them until i see how they coach

balmy wolf
#

Why not Uber?

forest raven
#

Puckett unknown ๐Ÿค”

balmy wolf
#

Why not uber?

pearl cedar

forest raven
#

ADAM FRAGGIN OUT

clear pollen
#

yo adam is basically a dps at the moment

pearl cedar
#

KyKy

#

like i said

#

such a good dva

#

almost always gets value out of the dva self destruct

balmy wolf
#

He's a better Zarya

pearl cedar
#

zarya + hanzo wombo

clear pollen
#

he's been spamming a lot of dva in ranked

balmy wolf
#

One of the best in the game imo

pearl cedar
#

if nrg gets that

#

easy 1st point

#

or earth shatter into hanzo ult

balmy wolf
#

6 ults

#

vs 1

#

this first point

#

is gone

#

100%

#

Unless

onyx shore
#

EATEN

#

graviton

balmy wolf
#

HE DID IT

#

EATEN

#

WOOOO

pearl cedar
#

fucking kyky

tidal peak
#

rekt

pearl cedar
#

monster

gritty crow
#

NICE

onyx shore
#

350 hp torbjorn

#

full HOLD

balmy wolf
#

JESUS

#

FUCKING

#

CHRIST

pearl cedar
#

nastyyy

balmy wolf
#

THEY HELD WITH TORBJORN AND SYMMETRA

rugged cairn
#

nrg lol XDDDDDD

balmy wolf
#

WOOOOOOO

gritty crow
#

That felt dirty

limber pine
#

double barrier new meta

pearl cedar
#

this is gonna

halcyon nymph
#

+150 hp on every hero is not cancer at all ๐Ÿ˜ƒ

pearl cedar
#

make NRG into even more of a meme than before

clear pollen
#

that feeling when nrg can't even do the dragonstrike combo

pearl cedar
#

i mean

#

they could've done earth shatter into dragon strike

forest raven
#

I feel bad

#

For NRG

pearl cedar
#

but they opted into the zarya ult into it

jagged kernel
#

seagull is basically a hanzo main

#

in this game

pearl cedar
#

he did good

#

he got the picks

onyx shore
#

what

pearl cedar
#

but the rest of NRG wasnt able to

onyx shore
#

seagull on torb

#

lol

pearl cedar
#

capitalize on the picks

supple nymph
#

why didnt seagull go pharah

clear pollen
#

seagull is basically playing with a diamond team

jagged kernel
#

did he really even get that many picks?

onyx shore
#

seagull throw

balmy wolf
#

He got like 3

clear pollen
#

none of them could ever take advantage of seagull's kills

pearl cedar
#

idk clockwork was pretty decent

balmy wolf
#

Seagull trying to be Mendo

jagged kernel
#

yeah right he got heaps of kills at the start

balmy wolf
pearl cedar
#

i think they just choke on LAN

#

they're not good clutch players

clear pollen
#

i forgot clockwork was on nrg LOL

pearl cedar
#

but c9 has so many clutch players

#

surefour/mendo/kyky are all clutch players

balmy wolf
#

Its sad to see him transfer from TF2 to OW

clear pollen
#

don't forget adam

balmy wolf
#

He was a god in TF2

jagged kernel
#

clockwork or seagull?

clear pollen
#

adam did a lot too

pearl cedar
#

adam's consistent yeah

#

im just saying in general

#

c9 has 3 people

#

that can step up to the plate

#

to carry them

balmy wolf
#

Clockwork

jagged kernel
#

wasn't he like the actual best scout

clear pollen
#

you'd think nrg would do well

onyx shore
#

275 zen

clear pollen
#

since they're the tf2 dream team

forest raven
#

tbh I'm beginning to root for NRG just because of the c9 discord ๐Ÿค”

balmy wolf
#

why?

pearl cedar
#

i think surefour should've stuck to tracer

#

tracer is so good at killing zen

balmy wolf
#

@jagged kernel Yep

forest raven
#

"LUL NRG. NRG is trash." etc. etc.

balmy wolf
#

Best scout in the game

#

well

pearl cedar
#

ROOLF

#

WHATTT

balmy wolf
#

they are though :p

forest raven
#

Have some good sportsmanship tho

balmy wolf
#

Meh

#

Its the C9 discord

#

idk what you expected

jagged kernel
#

i feel like this is a pretty neutral chat

clear pollen
#

c9 fans :/

forest raven
#

Cheering for c9 and not relentless shitting on NRG

onyx shore
#

welp

balmy wolf
#

I mean, I'm obviously rooting for C9

#

But I like NRG

#

So im not just saying they're shit over and over

pearl cedar
#

yeah

balmy wolf
#

dude

pearl cedar
#

I think c9 played well

balmy wolf
#

i need a gif of that golf clap

forest raven
#

I'm cheering for c9 as well

pearl cedar
#

I dont think NRG played terribly

gritty crow
#

I don't care for either of them tbh

pearl cedar
#

c9 just played much better than NRG

jagged kernel
#

pri much

pearl cedar
#

like

#

KyKy eating the zarya ult

#

basically won them map 1

jagged kernel
#

they just didn't make any plays

pearl cedar
#

and map 2 was roolF with the clutch sleeps

#

yeah, tbf they probably have no experience vs torb symmetra

jagged kernel
#

i thought they would have takwn the point after they got all those kills near the bginning though

pearl cedar
#

yeah definitely

#

hanzo had 2 good picks

#

they should've tried forcing

#

but i think mendo landed good poke

#

so they pussied out

#

but they picked off mendo first...

#

yeah idk i have no excuses for them

#

im trying to think of a good reason but nothing's coming xD

clear pollen
#

wait wut

#

clock is nrg's star dps?

#

uuh

#

i give that title to seagull

jagged crater
#

with the way the meta is going, clockwork is the only one using dps only

#

seagull flexes a bit

#

genji is not doing too good in this meta

balmy wolf
jagged crater
#

roadDOG

forest raven
#

Excellent reaction gif @balmy wolf ๐Ÿ‘

balmy wolf
#

Saved it already

jagged crater
#

this meta is even tankier than the last one goddam

pearl cedar
#

soldier incoming

forest raven
#

SEAG

gritty crow
#

Seagull is flying

balmy wolf
#

Oh shit

#

Seagull Pharah

pearl cedar
#

LETS GO SUREFOUR

balmy wolf
#

Yusss

jagged crater
#

good to see pharah doin well here tho

balmy wolf
#

Seagull's pharah is god

forest raven
#

And there's the top 5 76 on c9

pearl cedar
#

surefour got him

balmy wolf
#

Both their DPS players are easily top 10 76

#

Rocket Barrage + Grav?

pearl cedar
#

HarryHook/Mendo/Surefour

balmy wolf
#

Mmmmm

#

Mmmmm

silk linden
#

Perhaps going Pharah was a mistake for Seagull, since he basically forced out the best Soldier 76 in the game

balmy wolf
#

Whoa whoa

#

A little too far there

pearl cedar
#

I mean

jagged crater
#

surely they were going to use it anyway since soldier is so top tier in the meta

stark thicket
#

Ryb tho missed everything that fight but they won

pearl cedar
#

mendo/surefour/harryhook are all contenders for best s76 in the world

balmy wolf
#

No way

#

Harry is #1 no doubt

#

Have you seen his tracking?

pearl cedar
#

well i mean harry had to play against better competition

balmy wolf
#

Dude doesnt even need Tac Visor

pearl cedar
#

so yeah he has more going for him

silk linden
#

I guess at a certain level it's a matter of opinion. They are all beasts

halcyon nymph
#

something i'd love for pharah

pearl cedar
#

saw that tracking? xD

silk linden
#

I just like Surefor

halcyon nymph
#

is the ability to slam on the ground

#

like in her highlight intro

balmy wolf
#

That visor lol

halcyon nymph
#

like if she's flying, crouching would make her slam on the ground

pearl cedar
#

he got ana with the visor

forest raven
#

Nanovisor ๐Ÿค”

#

c9 have had shit ults

jagged crater
#

i noticed nrg is not going 100% meta

pearl cedar
#

i mean

forest raven
#

But they're just better than NRG

jagged crater
#

like seagull goes non-meta heroes

forest raven
#

So it doesn't matter

pearl cedar
#

it was effective because

silk linden
#

nrg don't go 100% meta because the meta heroes aren't their forte

pearl cedar
#

it forced NRG to back away

#

and then surefour still got ana with the ult

#

so it had value

balmy wolf
#

Enigma Tracer pogchimp

pearl cedar
#

sometimes you cant always get the 3/4k

#

but if you can get a crucial pick

jagged crater
#

tviq's got some insane tracking as well

#

if you seen his soldier

pearl cedar
#

and then you're good without the ult, you'll be able to carry

#

and surefour did just that lol

silk linden
#

Weird, I figured Clockwork would be the one to flex

pearl cedar
#

yea

#

same i thought clockwork would tracer

balmy wolf
#

Enigma's Tracer though

#

Is ๐Ÿ‘Œ๐Ÿป

silk linden
#

True

jagged crater
#

clockwork is better on hitscan like soldier/mccree

pearl cedar
#

is he?

#

Idk i havent followed him much

jagged crater
#

that's what he did in his previous team

clear pollen
#

i haven't seen enigma tracer in so long

balmy wolf
#

Remember that game where he solo carried in a Monthly Melee a few months ago

silk linden
#

I haven't followed him in OW much, but he was the best TF2 scout

balmy wolf
#

That game was so fucking good

#

Enigma fucking carried

#

so fucking hard

jagged crater
#

Gods was the tracer until enigma turned out to be the better tracer

balmy wolf
#

Never seen a harder carry

jagged crater
#

Gods went from dps to flex

#

cuz of enigma's tracer

pearl cedar
#

Ah that was a weird mistake by kyky

#

coulda saved the ult for the graviton bomb combo

#

but i think its okay for c9 right now anyway

balmy wolf
#

NA ult from mendo right there

forest raven
#

lol yep

pearl cedar
#

yea that was awkward

halcyon nymph
#

nrg goes meta and starts winning ๐Ÿค”

pearl cedar
#

then again this is like c9's curse for KOTH

forest raven
#

Tracer's not meta

jagged crater
#

tracer's still good in koth

forest raven
#

Not for 3-2-1 or 4-2

pearl cedar
#

shatter pulse bomb

clear pollen
#

yo enigma is carrying hard

balmy wolf
#

As always tbh

halcyon nymph
#

i'd argue that tracer is pretty meta on koth

pearl cedar
#

yea enigma's doing surprisingly well

halcyon nymph
#

she gets so much value

pearl cedar
#

fuck they shoulda put surefour on tracer

#

to deal with enigma

onyx shore
#

how the hell nrg win this?

#

jesus

pearl cedar
#

its a bo5 koth map

balmy wolf
#

Enigma

pearl cedar
#

and c9 sucks at koth

forest raven
#

Enigma on Tracer and Seag on Zarya

clear pollen
#

its enigma

halcyon nymph
#

enigma went ham @trim pelicanediaz#5606

silk linden
#

It's about the maps IMHO. That part of Ilios is really tracer friendly

halcyon nymph
#

yeah

pearl cedar
#

oh shit

#

surefour's mccree

#

LETS GO

clear pollen
#

someone should've switched to mccree way earlier

halcyon nymph
#

well is shit for tracer tho

gritty crow
#

does everyone on c9 have the some keyboard

clear pollen
#

but they really wanted to play quad tank for some reason

balmy wolf
#

McCree to deal with Engima

#

Lets go boys

#

@gritty crow Likely one of their sponsers

pearl cedar
#

HEADSHOT ON TRACER

#

RIGHT AT THE END OF THE BLINK

#

holy shit

silk linden
#

surefour fucking hacks

clear pollen
#

THAT SHIT

#

SO DIRTY

pearl cedar
#

world's finest mccree

jagged crater
#

nrg bringin out the 4 tanks

pearl cedar
#

oh he had someone in LoS there but he didnt use it fast enough

#

55% ult charge already wtf

#

surefour pls

silk linden
#

It's funny how the meta is tank heavy, and yet you don't see much Reaper. This meta really needs balancing

balmy wolf
silk linden
#

yep

balmy wolf
#

Reaper is useless vs D.Va

pearl cedar
#

Reaper has a hard time against dva and

silk linden
#

yep

pearl cedar
#

nanoboost doesnt give speed up anymore

#

i'd rather nano gives speed

#

but they nerf bio grenade

clear pollen
#

aand the game devolved into 4 tanks

balmy wolf
#

Her bio nade is the problem but Blizz dont realise

#

ยฏ_(ใƒ„)_/ยฏ

silk linden
#

I'm sure they do

halcyon nymph
#

Tbh

#

if they don't see the problem after these tournament

#

they're realyl stupid

#

and i still have some faith in them so i'll hope they do :^)

silk linden
#

They've proven they know what they are doing imho

balmy wolf
#

Well this meta exists

#

So they havent imo

pearl cedar
#

Good Graviton

halcyon nymph
#

yeah it exists for 1 patch

silk linden
#

Yeah but we've had even more cancerous metas that were fixed by blizz

balmy wolf
#

Have we?

halcyon nymph
#

so we still have to wait lol

balmy wolf
#

Outside of Hero Stacking I cant think of any

pearl cedar
#

Actually

#

I'm happy ults take longer to charge

#

you actually have to land damage

#

to be relevant

#

you cant just afk, get ult

halcyon nymph
#

Imo they need to buff dps ults now tho lol

balmy wolf
#

Im not

pearl cedar
#

and pop off

balmy wolf
#

One of the problems that created this meta

pearl cedar
#

ehh

#

that might be power creep

clear pollen
#

i'd say soldier ult is in a good place

halcyon nymph
#

cuz indirectly, the ult charge nerf was a buff to tanks

pearl cedar
#

enigma on tracer again

balmy wolf
#

They never should have changed ult charges

halcyon nymph
#

tanks innate kits are way better than most dps

jagged kernel
#

i feel like zarya, lucio, and ana are the real causes of this meta

pearl cedar
#

might need surefour on mccree/tracer again

halcyon nymph
#

zarya isn't even that strong now

balmy wolf
#

Its Ana

#

And the Ult charge nerf

halcyon nymph
#

she's decent but she's not broken

balmy wolf
#

That created this monstrosity

jagged kernel
#

she's still insanely strong lol

halcyon nymph
#

Ana/Dva are

silk linden
#

It's ana and Dva too to an extent

halcyon nymph
#

yeah she's still really strong, but she's not broken anymore tho

jagged kernel
#

lucio is indispensable because of speed boost

pearl cedar
#

DVA on her own isnt that bad

balmy wolf
#

I dont think D.Va needed more health at all

clear pollen
#

i still think if ana's grenade is nerfed, the tank meta would disappear

pearl cedar
#

buffing DVA made sense because she was never picked

#

yeah\

#

thats the core problem

silk linden
#

yeah the health buff was really extra

halcyon nymph
#

I don't think a hero being really strong is a problem tho lol

pearl cedar
#

ana's grenade

balmy wolf
#

Take Heal Boost and Debuff to 50%

pearl cedar
#

the ult charge nerf made tanks stronger

balmy wolf
#

See what happens

clear pollen
#

like you have to be able to outheal dps damage which ana can do right now

balmy wolf
#

That should help immensly

pearl cedar
#

because tanks dont really need ults to be super effective

halcyon nymph
#

yeah but they buffed dva twice in a single patch

clear pollen
#

but if she can't outheal it then dps would come back

halcyon nymph
#

and agreed @pearl cedar

onyx shore
#

throw 6 ults

#

cant capture

halcyon nymph
#

tanks are so much stronger than dps in their basic kits

balmy wolf
#

They overbuffed D.Va and nerfed her main counter

onyx shore
#

jesus

balmy wolf
#

in the same patch

halcyon nymph
#

AND their ults are extremely strong

#

for the most part

pearl cedar
#

yea

balmy wolf
#

Just like the patch awhile ago where they overbuffed mccree and nerfed 76 in the same patch

clear pollen
#

they also fixed how zarya's beam interacts with armor

pearl cedar
#

so basically ana + the ult charge nerf made tanks stronger

halcyon nymph
#

they need to buff dps charge rate imo

#

a bit

clear pollen
#

so it doesn't instantly melt dva

pearl cedar
#

i dont think they need to buff charge rates, but they should nerf a few things

#

for example road hog hook

#

should be on a 9 or 10 second cooldown

#

instead of 6 seconds

halcyon nymph
#

Would be too long imo

#

but something i'd love to see

pearl cedar
#

ana's grenade shouldnt make targets unhealable for 6 seconds lol

halcyon nymph
#

is hog being punished for missing his hook

#

atm you just go fishing

pearl cedar
#

exactly and you get teams more likely to pick dps

halcyon nymph
#

throw hooks over and over blindly until you get a pick

balmy wolf
#

imo, they should revert the ult charge change and nerf bio nade heal boost and debuff to 50%

pearl cedar
#

2-0'd

halcyon nymph
#

If they did something to punish missed hooks it would offer more windows to counter that

balmy wolf
#

Because right now

onyx shore
#

gg

balmy wolf
#

Its just ult stacking

#

and hooks

silk linden
#

So, NRG. They aren't bad, but they aren't good. I guess that's their place

halcyon nymph
#

Like something i was thinking would be to make hook maybe 10 sec base cd

balmy wolf
#

No

halcyon nymph
#

and give 50% cd refund when he lands a hook

balmy wolf
#

Hook doesnt need that

#

Hook just needs to be not broken

halcyon nymph
#

it would reward good players who land hooks

jagged crater
#

i want to see a c9 vs envy on lan so bad

pearl cedar
#

I'm hoping to see a c9 vs Nv final

jagged crater
#

new c9 vs envy w/ mickie

halcyon nymph
#

and promote good mechanics

pearl cedar
#

that'd be a sick match

#

but i think envy has teh better tank players

balmy wolf
#

Fix the hitbox and fix the physics

#

Thats how hook should be changed

halcyon nymph
#

yeah that too lol

balmy wolf
#

It doesnt need CD changes

#

Or anything else stupid

pearl cedar
#

its a really forgiving spell

clear pollen
#

i dont have a problem with the cd, i just dont wanna be hooked through multiple dimensions

jagged crater
#

is it 2 losses in groups out?

pearl cedar
#

over forgiving

#

yeah

balmy wolf
#

The smaller hitbox means its harder to hit hooks

pearl cedar
#

basically 2 losses

clear pollen
#

maybe make the hook a real skillshot

#

ie make the hitbox of the hook actually the size of the hook

balmy wolf
#

And when you hit a hook, you already outplayed the target by hooking them

#

so you shouldnt rely on a wonky physics engine for where they're gonna end up

#

They should end up in front of you

#

within melee range

pearl cedar
#

LUL mendo

balmy wolf
#

not just outside of it

#

so it doesnt hit

#

inside melee range

#

in front of roadhog

halcyon nymph
#

well

#

you say you outplayed the target and i disagree

balmy wolf
#

Okay

halcyon nymph
#

wait a second, i had a great screenshot that happened when moonmoon's stream crashed for me at the perfect time

clear pollen
#

you know, i think mendo was being sarcastic

halcyon nymph
#

here you go

jagged kernel
#

yeah, hook is a low-risk, high-reward mechanic

jagged crater
#

mendo & flame oh gosh

pearl cedar
#

LUL MONTE

#

savage

halcyon nymph
#

can you send links here ? idk if it was sent

pearl cedar
#

savage in league

#

savage in ow

#

oh lets watch this

balmy wolf
#

Yes you can

jagged crater
#

wasnt huk criticized for being too negative ?

balmy wolf
#

Yeah

jagged crater
#

monte does it, all cool

clear pollen
#

MONTE u can't just say that

halcyon nymph
#

@balmy wolf then just look at that

#

how was the guy being hooked outplayed

balmy wolf
#

Dude

halcyon nymph
#

he outplayed the hook, not the other way around

balmy wolf
#

Did you even read what I said

halcyon nymph
#

he baited the cd, retreated behind the wall and shit

#

still got hooked

#

You said

#

"And when you hit a hook, you already outplayed the target by hooking them
so you shouldnt rely on a wonky physics engine for where they're gonna end up"

balmy wolf
#

Make the hitbox actually the size of the hook model, not 76 or someshit. The smaller hitbox makes hoots harder to hit.

#

So

clear pollen
#

you know whats funny

balmy wolf
#

When you hit a hook you already outplayed them by hitting it

clear pollen
#

nrg is still in the background gathering their stuff

#

and these guys are up here shitting on nrg lol

jagged crater
#

can you watch vods on mlg?

balmy wolf
#

So you shouldnt rely on a wonky physics engine on where they're going to end up

halcyon nymph
#

well in this case

balmy wolf
#

Im not talking about the hook now dude

halcyon nymph
#

he hit a hook he had no business hitting

jagged kernel
#

maybe they should buff non-tanks' movement speed

balmy wolf
#

Incase you're retarded and couldnt tell

halcyon nymph
#

Oh you're saying once it's reworked

#

Then yeah i agree, i thought you were talking about the current hook being about outplaying people zaryalol

balmy wolf
#

Literally

#

just read

halcyon nymph
#

it's kinda hard to follow shit when there's multiple people talking about multiple stuff :^)

balmy wolf
#

Not really

#

Its not twitch chat

halcyon nymph
#

w/e nvm

balmy wolf
#

Its going very slow

halcyon nymph
#

Guess you're just a dick, forget it

jagged crater
#

will there be vods ?

#

i missed the previous games

balmy wolf
#

No idea

#

I dont use mlg

jagged crater
#

LOL

clear pollen
#

Huk might be overly negative now

pearl cedar
#

maybe r/overwatchvods

jagged crater
#

still a dumb idea not putting on twitch

pearl cedar
#

idk if there's such a sub

supple nymph
#

@balmy wolf envy vs complexity prediction?

pearl cedar
#

there are usually youtubers who upload these vods

balmy wolf
#

Envy

#

2-1

pearl cedar
#

nv easy 2-0

jagged kernel
#

i love how their trailer talks about the best dps in the world, so cringe

pearl cedar
#

well wait

#

they havent practiced

#

so maybe coL has an edge there

halcyon nymph
#

it's over i guess ?

clear pollen
#

eh AF blue tried being gimmicky at OGN and they lost pretty hard

#

CoL is gonna try their usual gimmick and its not gonna work against NV

jagged crater
#

envy hasnt practiced vs NA teams in a loong time and taimou is getting here late

clear pollen
#

i think at this point we should just expect tork to do this sombra thing and NV is gonna expect it too

balmy wolf
#

Envy isnt playing today

#

So it doesnt matter

clear pollen
#

tommorrow 10:30

#

AM

balmy wolf
#

He said like

jagged crater
#

but who knows, nv's last minute replacement worked for them vs koreans

balmy wolf
#

An hour or two ago

#

that his flight was delayed by 4 hours

#

in chat

jagged crater
#

CLG is in this tournament?

#

Who did they replace?

balmy wolf
#

wut

jagged crater
#

iunno the flashback looked like clg

#

or was that c9

clear pollen
#

classic taimou

#

now maybe its too subtle, but i think taimou is mad that his flight got delayed

balmy wolf
#

CLG was announced

#

They have a team now

pearl cedar
#

yeah just maybe...

#

hopefully we see CLG slowly build a name for themselves

#

but idk any of the players outside misospoon

#

i thought curryshot would be on the team

#

cause he's streaming under clg

clear pollen
#

Well from miso's stream i know they've been scrimming a lot

jagged crater
#

dont think curryshot is good enough

clear pollen
#

so i think CLG is trying to be serious

balmy wolf
#

I've heard of Miso but dont know who he is

#

I know who Waffle is though

jagged crater
#

seems more like a streamer than a pro player

#

carnage streams under the complexity name too but he's not playing for them

balmy wolf
#

Yeah but they already have a team

#

It makes sense to make the assumption Curry would be on CLG when they got a team

#

Like, Ster is streaming under LG

#

But he isnt on LG

#

and doesnt plan on going pro

jagged crater
#

curry doesnt seem like pro player material, more like a personality

forest raven
#

Moonmoon's had offers from teams, no?

balmy wolf
#

No idea

halcyon nymph
#

moonmoon will never go pro

jagged crater
#

moon is insanely popular, some teams might get him just for exposure even if they dont win

halcyon nymph
#

atleast that's what he said

forest raven
#

Hell no would he go pro

jagged crater
#

but of course he wouldnt go pro since he's having a more relaxing time streaming

forest raven
#

THe dude makes so much fucking money from strams

balmy wolf
#

All I know is he go an invite to be one of USA's picks for the WC

forest raven
#

And he doesn't have the same passion for esports like Seag does

jagged crater
#

beign a pro gamer is a lot of work, way moer than streaming

halcyon nymph
#

yeah and he can goof around instead of being super serious

balmy wolf
#

He definitely wont go pro

halcyon nymph
#

streaming is a TON of work too

balmy wolf
#

For at least 2 more years

halcyon nymph
#

especially for someone like moonmoon

forest raven
#

Does moonmoon play anything other than OW on stream?

halcyon nymph
#

i don't think he ever did

jagged crater
#

if you have the personality for streaming, i see no reason to go pro considering the amount of effort you need to succeed

balmy wolf
#

I saw him play Dwarf Fortress

#

And eh

#

Some other game

#

i cant remember the name of

#

But mostly OW

forest raven
#

I wonder what would happen to his fanbase if he began to consistently stream games that wasn't OW

jagged crater
#

streaming = 8 hours of goofing around vs pro = 8 hours of serious scrims

balmy wolf
#

He also has his mother to take care of

#

Thats the main reason why he wont go pro

#

Or go to any Cons

forest raven
#

ic

jagged crater
#

summit was initially going to go pro since he was already "semi-pro" but streaming worked way better for him so he stuck with it

balmy wolf
#

I thought he did play pro cs

#

for a little while

jagged crater
#

he played for invite teams, never any successful ones tho

forest raven
#

I like how MGA is still in the channel description

balmy wolf
#

Yeah its not updated frequently

#

because everyone forgets

#

lel

jagged crater
#

stopped playing at a high level because it was way too stressful

balmy wolf
#

Thats why kyb stopped too

#

:c

#

I miss kyb

forest raven
#

who is kyb

jagged crater
#

yea kyb started out as a MM star

#

decided to go pro to try it out but became way too time consuming when it involved traveling and lans

balmy wolf
#

draw pls

forest raven
#

what

jagged crater
#

also misfits 0-3'd yikes

#

cant wait for the meta report tho

#

more tank meta than the last

#

that's hilarious

balmy wolf
#

Idk about new misfits

#

i think i liked the old one better

#

but we'll see

jagged crater
#

they really didnt need to change anything but i guess that full swedish lineup might be something to develop for the future

balmy wolf
#

@forest raven My golf clap gif was stolen and put on mendo's discord

#

:[

clear pollen
#

i mean yeah it was 3-0 lunatic hai, but misfits played really well for a team that played together for 5ish days

#

give misfits time, i think they'll get better

forest raven
#

It was me HAHA @balmy wolf

balmy wolf
#

it wasnt tho

forest raven

I posted it there first

so did anybody record the las vegas MLG invitational first day matches?

toxic yacht
#

@forest raven kyb from reunited?

#

Aren't you familiar with him? The Genji master?

forest raven
#

um

#

no

toxic yacht
#

After reunited dropped TwoEasy and were looking for a new dps, they found kyb in matchmaking

balmy wolf
#

Draw only cares about like 2 teams

toxic yacht
#

He was a pretty fantastic gengu

#

He only cares about his 2 NA teams

#

No love for Custa though

balmy wolf
#

Yeah draw

#

Whats with that

#

๐Ÿ‘€

forest raven
#

Hey

#

Custa's mah boi

#

C9, coL and Fnatic

#

My teams

balmy wolf
#

If there was an Irish player I would root for that team no matter what

#

But when it was C9 vs Fnatic, you rooted for C9

#

disspointed

forest raven
#

Hugh Jackman isn't my favourite actor just because he's Aussie

balmy wolf
#

Yeah but he isnt the only good australian actor

#

Unlike Custa

#

Who's the only good Australian pro player

forest raven
#

Only Aussie on a pro team =/= Only good Aussie player

balmy wolf
#

only good australian pro player

Why do the Koreans use mundane, western names as their usernames?

Why'd they contest first
