[toxic yacht]

AKTCREE

[clever wagon]

That's why

[toxic yacht]

nice ult waste

lmao

[feral solar]

[clever wagon]

The times AKTM singlehandedly carry Dorado offense, next thing you're watching Japan just falls off on their knees on defense with AKTM staying off hitscan like it's the pl-- Oh?

[vestal mortar]

Jaysus

[spring lintel]

He is a mccree main

[clever wagon]

For his Cree alone, AKTM already topped off one of the best hitscan in the game

[toxic yacht]

he called him akm again

[clever wagon]

Dafran is in comparison

[toxic yacht]

well, it's close to the same thing

lol

aktm is so fucking good holy shit

[clever wagon]

AKTM giving you the Dorado Cree plays Taimou hasn't been able to boys

For 3 full days

That's borderline porn

[toxic yacht]

I swear, aetar has visor every 20 seconds

He is very precise

[smoky hinge]

I never s een such precision

[smoky hinge]

he had a pretty good atar

When I play Winston, I think splash

He was like a knife

[forest raven]

I don't even care if we get past quarters in Blizzcon, I'm just happy we get to keep playing on the international stage

[spring lintel]

Hopefully blizzcon gets 100k +

[cedar citrus]

[toxic yacht]

tviq carried his ass off

broke his back

[balmy wolf]

That's all I needed to know

[smoky hinge]

Australia was like 2m from winning

basically

otherwise it would've been a 2-2

[toxic yacht]

ya

they weren't crushed

it was pretty close

[balmy wolf]

Japan lost against Australia?

[toxic yacht]

yee

[balmy wolf]

REEEEEE

[rapid oxide]

Next week SK?

🇵🇱?

[toxic yacht]

augist

august

4th

[balmy wolf]

is poland a good team?

[toxic yacht]

2 weeks, if I could calculate

[rapid oxide]

[toxic yacht]

I never heard of a single person on team poland

so no, I have no idea

but like

[forest raven]

Next week is APEX final

[spring lintel]

Why 2 weeks? Was it delayed?

[toxic yacht]

they're in a group with SK

and netherlands

so they most likely aren't making it out

[forest raven]

29th is APEX, then 4th is Katowice

[toxic yacht]

and austria is squashed right there

:)

[forest raven]

[rapid oxide]

Let's be mediocre together

[toxic yacht]

italy is probably stronger anyway

lol

can't wait to watch austria get bumfucked by jehong and fl0w3r

[rapid oxide]

[feral solar]

i have seen those videos before

[toxic yacht]

[feral solar]

[rapid oxide]

Inb4 Austria 4 0 SK

[spring lintel]

Austria is so fucked its sad

[toxic yacht]

still disappointed about the lack of KDP members on SK

but they're gonna still gonna stomp, lul

[rapid oxide]

My cutie rascal

[toxic yacht]

Let's hope that fl0w3r's wrist actually works

[forest raven]

SBB and Flow3r have been playing together longer than Rascal and Birdring

[toxic yacht]

also, LW Blue and LH are very close teams

[spring lintel]

They should have went with miro

[toxic yacht]

like, really close

[forest raven]

And Flow3r is more meta resistant than either of them, imo

[solid spear]

Birdring Rascal is broken doe

[toxic yacht]

close to the point that you could call them sister teams

so yeah, it's probably better like this

since building up synergy is gonna be easier

but muh birdring and rascal

[solid spear]

Yeah they're borderline sister teams with how much they play together apparently

[forest raven]

SBB's Tracer is also

[rapid oxide]

Too overrated imo

[near thicket]

when does the SK game start

i just got home

[rapid oxide]

Never

[vestal mortar]

sk play in two weeks

[rapid oxide]

4 august

[near thicket]

still two weeks :/ ah, i got excited when i saw people talking about it assumed it was on soon

thanks tho

[clever wagon]

How was it

[brisk herald]

Is anyone here going to watch esports-Norwaycup

[rapid oxide]

[brisk herald]

Ok wait

[clever wagon]

Bullshit

[wary falcon]

Jp is out?

[clever wagon]

Reminder #2 OPC got taken for a real ride by a country who didnt make it far in the same tourney

I'll just enjoy that for now

[forest raven]

SunSister and Detonator Gold are also shit teams

Evident by the fact none of their players were on Team Japan

[rapid oxide]

[clever wagon]

Implying I gave credit to either team

[zealous venture]

rip spain

[clever wagon]

In fact, it's even better: none of JP roster has any pro experience and they still did that much

How's that #2 OPC looking anyway

I'm a sore loser and I don't care

[forest raven]

[rapid oxide]

Weabs power

[clever wagon]

Hilarious if you think thats savage even the slightest bit @rapid oxide

[rapid oxide]

First anime, later the world

[clever wagon]

I'm all for the underdogs no matter who they are

Esp if they make hype plays

(Which is not the case with Vietnam)

[rapid oxide]

AKTM > AKM

[clever wagon]

I'm not gonna be that pretentious to say that tbh

But AKTM = Timo

Cant u see the skills?

Amazing analysis

[naive plover]

Wait I'm watching the vod from wc now

I want spoilers

Who went to blizzcon

Australia and ?

[clever wagon]

Sweden

[naive plover]

Of some reason I thought two teams from the same group couldn't go

But I guess that's what happened in the playoffs

[clever wagon]

Friendly reminder Australia only won after being taken into a tiebreaker by a roster which members hasnt seen pro play

[tight vault]

so what teams made it?

i fell asleep before i could find out 😭

[naive plover]

And Aussie was still a pre made team as well with experience

But I won't ruin the aussies happiness

[sudden obsidian]

im hype for group E next week

[clever wagon]

I got shoved all 3-1's and Aussie oioioi's while the match was on so I'm being a sore loser rn

[tight vault]

OI

OI MATE

[sudden obsidian]

group E has two really solid teams lmao

[naive plover]

Against who

Seija

[clever wagon]

No I mean this chat was full of Aussie supporters lol

[tight vault]

calling it south korea and russia will win next week 😛

[naive plover]

Ah

[sudden obsidian]

tbh

[clever wagon]

Japan as the 0 pro player underdogs got me much more hype when it came down to Jp vs aus

[tight vault]

but russia does have to face canada

[sudden obsidian]

the netherlands is an underdog team

got tried out but twotoxic said im no good

[clever wagon]

I mean

[sudden obsidian]

feelsbadman

[tight vault]

turkey to win world cup

[clever wagon]

Japan fucking bodied Finland out of the group C & D finals for anaheim

How can I not be hyped

[sudden obsidian]

netherlands has morte, dante, twotoxic and vizility lol i honestly doubt SK can beat that

[clever wagon]

AKTM fucking duked it out with Taimou on dorado

[tight vault]

i'm hyped for group H 😛

[clever wagon]

How was that not hype

@sudden obsidian lmao

[tight vault]

group H is gonna be awesome 😛

[sudden obsidian]

whats good about group h

[tight vault]

UK

Germany

[clever portal]

NL beating SK

[tight vault]

israel belgium

[clever wagon]

SK will still dumpster everyone except for T1 west/Aus

[sudden obsidian]

NL beats SK mark my words :^)

[tight vault]

mark my words canada will win the world cup

[clever portal]

Literally not possible

I don't think even the teams those players are from can beat SK

[clever wagon]

@clever portal screenshot all these so we can laugh later

[sudden obsidian]

NL didnt settle for the best players

[clever portal]

See it like this

[sudden obsidian]

they settled for a team that works great together

[clever portal]

SK beat AFB

A tier 1 KR team

Which beat NV 4-1

This is the 2nd best western team

Which could probably 3-0 any western team other than rogue

[tight vault]

being honest i think france or canada might win the cup

[sudden obsidian]

if NL picked a team that was made up of the best NL players, they would've gone with twoeasy, morte, dante, crusade, me and musashi

[clever wagon]

Nah France or SK

then prolly Canada next in line

Or Aus

[sudden obsidian]

but tbh i think this is even better

[clever wagon]

AUS prolly in top 5

But wait

[wary falcon]

SK beat AFB

AFB without Mano is not top tier team

Mano is their spine and best player

[clever wagon]

What abt Recry

[wary falcon]

or arhan

sure

[clever wagon]

Aus uhh lets see other candidatea

Russia... Uk...

us..

[tight vault]

how bout we let the leaders play overwatch for the world cup next year

[clever wagon]

Well aus is settled for top 8 already for anaheim though

[sudden obsidian]

how is CA gonna win actually

canada is literally team tilt

[clever portal]

Don't forget Taiwan

They're better than Aus

[tight vault]

TAIWAN

they got screwed

[clever portal]

Taiwan hasn't played yet

Unless you mean Thailand

[tight vault]

i'm tired

ok

[clever portal]

Taiwan is really good

They were playing in OPC

With Australia team

They beat every team 3-0 for a few weeks

They beat Aus 8-2 in the finals

[sudden obsidian]

what happened to the US team

[tight vault]

seagull happened

[spring lintel]

Cant wait to see arikadou (not sure of the name) with Australia next year

[sudden obsidian]

should've gone with kyky, grimreality, harbleu, esper etc

[tight vault]

maybe i should start watching more of the pro scene

[sudden obsidian]

tbh i wanna see korea10 on a pro team lul

better gengu than seagull

[clever portal]

If you want to see pro scene

[tight vault]

TIMTHETATMAN for team USA

[clever portal]

Next week would be a good time to get started

[sudden obsidian]

tim the boosted man

[clever portal]

Apex finals are happening

The no 1 global vs no 2 global

[tight vault]

ok

[clever portal]

3 players on SK team are from the 1st rank team, Lunatic Hai

[spring lintel]

Arikadou is actually a very good genji honestly. I think he has the potential to go pro

[tight vault]

tim is a pro hanzo

[clever portal]

Arikadou a streamer?

[spring lintel]

Yeah

He is GM

And started playing like 2 months ago

[tight vault]

i was a GM

may i say the only gm for ireland i have heard of

[spring lintel]

He has the potential

[clever portal]

I think Polo is irish gm

Not sure though

[tight vault]

could i feel special for once in my life

[clever wagon]

Moon࿚

should've gone with kyky, grimreality, harbleu, esper etc

Jul 23, 2017, 1:22 PM

Literally none of those names are consistently and significantly better than the current roster

Esp Harbleu

[tight vault]

fraser agar is pro hansoap

[toxic yacht]

tbh SK scrims should be taken with 3 truckloads of salt

they're looking solid this far

but c'mon

ardeont was partially throwing

[balmy wolf]

Japan has no pro players

@clever wagon you high?

all of them came from 3 pro teams over there

[clever wagon]

¯_(ツ)_/¯

I'm just going by what was said

But ok

[balmy wolf]

and also no idea why this chat was so pro Australian yesterday

too bad I was tired and wasn't there to witness the (almost) epic comeback

[tight vault]

i wanted vietnam to win 😛 (JK)

[toxic yacht]

yesterday

fucking timezoens I got so confused

but yeh, a ton of australians came here

[clever portal]

I think it was just a lot of Australians here

[toxic yacht]

since I know a bunch of aussies and not a single japanese guy

[clever portal]

Atleast when I saw playoffs

[toxic yacht]

I also naturally rooted for australia

[tight vault]

my country isn't in the world cup 😭

[balmy wolf]

technically it wasn't "yesterday"

more like a 4 hours nap

but point still stand

going to have to watch the vods now

[toxic yacht]

it was a really good game imo

best one yet

[balmy wolf]

time to wait for Ta1yo, yoz, and AKTM to get poach to NA tho

[toxic yacht]

a bit throwy at times though

[clever wagon]

I'm still sore

Screw that 3-1

[toxic yacht]

it'd have been 3-0 if gunba hadn't thrown lijiang

tbh

[clever portal]

If Japan had better supports

They would be in WC

[tight vault]

is doomfist gonna be allowed when he comes out? in the world cup

[clever portal]

Probably not

Atleast for katowice

[balmy wolf]

Yoz was pretty fucking good tbh

Finland made it a priority to blow him up

and even then they couldn't do it

[clever portal]

Ta1yo

Basically hard carry at points

[tight vault]

[balmy wolf]

and apparently Ieatuup also has some fever and tonsiltiis

what's up with Sydney qualifier and sick but carrying Tracer play anyway

Tviq and Ieatuup

[toxic yacht]

pros who can carry although they're sick 🙏

like timo back at MLG

[tight vault]

suprised no one got attacked by spiders

[rapid oxide]

144 T H I C C

[clever portal]

Maybe they just didn't say it happened monkaS

[tight vault]

if it was held in ireland people would get attacked by potato's

[balmy wolf]

nah it is in Poland

they'd get stab instead

I know Katowice is a country with esport pedigree but still

some especially with how Shanghai was run

[clever portal]

PL is ESL again

So it'll be like sydney

[tight vault]

[clever portal]

They also have proper gaming infrastructure

Next next weekend

So 2 weeks

[tight vault]

Decent numbers

Looking forward to Katowice

[rapid oxide]

[balmy wolf]

the Sydney qualifier was a 10 hours marathon

still a long way to go from PGL Major's 400K+ views though

[rapid oxide]

Fair comparison

[balmy wolf]

mind you the group stage was 200K or so

still a significantly long way to go with it as well

[tight vault]

[balmy wolf]

443K right now for Gambit vs Immortals

[clever portal]

Pretty low

Didn't last one get 1 million?

[balmy wolf]

can't remember atm it is rocketed to 700K+ though

having a rather interesting final also work against Krakow

Eleague's final has fan favorites VP vs Astralis

this one we has 2 underdogs in Gambit and Immortals

both teams nobody could saw that they'd get to final

[clever portal]

What a stomp though

[balmy wolf]

just one map so far

if win though this year is their year

OWL LA spot, walking the Royal Road with their CSGO roster straight from minor to Major champions, and their LOL team is 1st in NA LCS atm as well

[clever portal]

Good year for them

They'll probably get top 4 in contenders as well

how were the finals?

[clever portal]

Good, really hype game

Surprisingly close as well

Went to all 5 maps

[wintry matrix]

and Spain v Sweden?

[clever portal]

Heard it was a stomp, haven't seen it yet

[thick cosmos]

Lijiang was pretty close, other 2 maps were not that close

iirc

blizzard should hire this guy

[balmy wolf]

Yeah it's stupid how much her dm covers

it even covers her sides

its retarded

[toxic yacht]

I wouldn't call it stompy, it wasn't a rogue vs norway 3-0, closer to a china vs thailand 3-0

although I'd call it more competitive than china vs thailand

thanks world cup

[balmy wolf]

btw

one side of the World Cup playoff is already established

Sweden vs China

Australia vs Frogue

[warm totem]

who r at final

in krakow

[balmy wolf]

IMT vs Gambit

Gambit won

[warm totem]

WHAT

THE

FUCK

[balmy wolf]

That aint for this channel though

Also

Aetar vs aKm

[rapid oxide]

[balmy wolf]

this gonna be good

[warm totem]

I know just saw u talking about it

[toxic yacht]

got the screenshot

it could have been akm vs aktm

literally the most confusing match for the casters, probably

[warm totem]

got followed by aktm in twitter

was like wtf

[clever portal]

Maybe AKTM gets an OWL team

[warm totem]

TOKYO

would be so cool

[balmy wolf]

AKTM, Yoz and Ta1yo are going to get pick up

if not ALL of the Japanese roster squad

[warm totem]

sure

[clever portal]

At the very least by Libalent

[balmy wolf]

Ta1yo being Japanese-American also helps his case at well.

@clever portal the tank line is already Libalent

[clever portal]

AKTM and Ta1yo aren't in it though

[balmy wolf]

because they are in USG Iridata

they literally just pick the best players possible for the roster

out of the top 3 roster in Japan

it showed

they were literally Thailand 2.0 but even more skills

[clever portal]

World cup is a great event already

So much new talent

[balmy wolf]

Katowice tho.........the storyline is going to be "who is going to accompany SK to WC"

[clever portal]

Never would have heard of any of these players otherwise

[balmy wolf]

if they drop a map tho

Im hoping for russia

I dont want to see Canada with Mangachu over Train and id

[toxic yacht]

lul

https://clips.twitch.tv/GorgeousBoldMosquitoSmoocherZ

[balmy wolf]

Russsia is not playing well in public scrims

while Canada is not going to go with Train

because Train is muslim and Poland is heavily anti Muslim

Netherland is a possiblity tho

I doubt netherlands have a chance really

[toxic yacht]

netherlands would have to play vs canada or whatever

[clever portal]

Whoever gets 2nd in the Canada Russia group is out

[balmy wolf]

2nd in their group for sure but the wont win

[toxic yacht]

don't think that they'll make it tbh

[balmy wolf]

https://puu.sh/wR9i9/3780993575.png

[toxic yacht]

like, they're in a group with austria and poland

[balmy wolf]

3 support mains, 2 randoms and 2easy

[toxic yacht]

it'd be lol for them to not make it to 2nd

although we know absolutely nothing about poland

so I shouldn't be so quick to judge

[balmy wolf]

wat7 man just there for the memes

[toxic yacht]

we also all thought that japan would fail, lul

[balmy wolf]

I'm hesistate to call out Poland/Austria/Singapore/Turkey out right away for the same reason as well

[toxic yacht]

the japanese OW community thought that they wouldn't even beat vietnam

[balmy wolf]

I remember someone came in here awhile ago calling matth one of the best dps in the world lmao

[toxic yacht]

tfw when I need to check which team he's on

best dps guise

[balmy wolf]

most recently owly six

[toxic yacht]

tank is playing on support

[pine star]

[balmy wolf]

Crusade is doing the same thing over at Netherland actually

[toxic yacht]

ya, he's playing flex

I'd have thought that dante would be dps

with crusade on lucio

and morte on zen

seeing him on dva relly surprised me

[balmy wolf]

SK vs Canada
NL vs Russia

[toxic yacht]

ya, most likely

[balmy wolf]

for semis

SK and Russia going to Blizzcon

[toxic yacht]

Russia's scrims have been very unimpressive, (they actually lost vs NL iirc) but I believe in them

want to see sdb at blizzcon again

oh yeah, mistakes apparently refused to join

[clever portal]

Wait till Shadowburn on LAN

[toxic yacht]

which would explain why they took txao

[clever portal]

[balmy wolf]

SDB on 144 tick

tfw SDB face Russia again and he got triggered from the 0-4 defeat

[toxic yacht]

in case someone somehow doesn't know this yet, times for katowice

[balmy wolf]

at least this will lead nicely into OW Contenders S1

time for to poach Cwoosh

and maybe a Swedish flex support because ain't no way Chips will get buy out from

round 2

[pine star]

Not this shit again

[toxic yacht]

if nevix starts talking when getting dived, probably him

[balmy wolf]

@pine star there has been 3 threads baiting about this

https://puu.sh/wR9J9/9424580a0f.png

[pine star]

[toxic yacht]

lol

[balmy wolf]

[clever portal]

Not bait at all

[balmy wolf]

Cwoosh probably needs to diversify his hero pool tho

his Genji was absolute ass in Sydney

his 76 meanwhile is decent but it is only servicable at best

[toxic yacht]

he plays pharah, mei and hog too

flexes into dva a bit

[pine star]

Hog

[toxic yacht]

don't know his entire pool though

but yeah, in the current meta he really only needs 3 heroes, so I don't see why he'd go for his other picks. Especially since all the other heroes he plays at that level are kinda garbage now

his dva isn't that great iirc

[balmy wolf]

to paraphrase ZP

D.va is always better in a hand of someone who plays supportively

DPS mains hates D.va because they found her to be unfun to play against

so only the Coolmat69 of the world can play her properly

the rest just use her as DM bot

[spring lintel]

I took the bait ford

[warm totem]

as dps main i found out that dva is so fun to play

its like fun police

no fun allowed, except me

[toxic yacht]

same lol

[clever portal]

Stopping their carry

[warm totem]

flexed today as dva probably never laughed so much

yega

[toxic yacht]

it still feels cheap af tho

[red anvil]

D.va is fun but requires practice

[warm totem]

it is

not really

i dont feel like

game sense

i have maybe 30 mins of ger

[balmy wolf]

D.va is underrated

a good D.va can cuck a team's DPS hard

and stilfe the enemy team as a whole

[solid spear]

I dont think people underrate D.Va

[warm totem]

same

shes so good

[balmy wolf]

underrated in term of how hard it is to master her

hence all the meme about D.va players being brain dead

[solid spear]

nah theres a lot to her

and different ways people play her

same with Monkey

[warm totem]

they are cause they play unfun hero

😄

[clever portal]

Hey people make memes about Winston being no aim no brain

[balmy wolf]

the way D.va is being play this meta is really requires fitnesse than brute force, and a lot of off tank can't adjust

and again, you can say that she is underrated and such, but that won't stop the meme

[wintry matrix]

i think people who complains about dva want to play CS

[balmy wolf]

DVA in lower levels like plat and gold is no skill

[wintry matrix]

like, if we're calling DM bullshit 80% of this game habilities are bullshit

[clever portal]

I think you have to agree that 4 seconds is a long time in a pro game

DVa takes away 4 seconds of damage

[solid spear]

no no

DM is bullshit

lets not even pretend

[wintry matrix]

i dunno, there's ways to play around

[solid spear]

there is

[pine star]

Such as?

[wintry matrix]

maybe it's because we don't have a lot of laser/melee heroes

[pine star]

Spending an ultimate to drain her DM?

C'mon

We have them

But they're all shit tier

[wintry matrix]

so is rein shield bullshit?

[solid spear]

Rein shield isnt 15 meters long

[clever portal]

Rein shield is balanced because you can clearly see where it is

[solid spear]

I play D.va and I think she's bs

[clever portal]

How much is left/etc

[pine star]

Are we seriously comparing D.Va to Rein? LMAO

Rein has no mobility

[wintry matrix]

so the problem is clearer visuals?

[solid spear]

That's a start

[wintry matrix]

like, there was a time when dva was just an ult farm and if i'm not mistaken the only change to dm was the point-blank registration

[toxic yacht]

my biggest issue with DM is the lack of a visual indicator

you never know when it's up

and a good dva will manage it in a way where she always has a bit

[wintry matrix]

i'm just saying if it isn't more of a problem of perception, not figuring out how to play around her

[toxic yacht]

so you never know when it's completely down for a short time

[clever portal]

I would say add some laser dps

[pine star]

So we're just gonna wait another 3 months until people "learn to play around her" and keep this shit meta going?

[wintry matrix]

more laser heroes would be cool, also the clarification too

[clever portal]

Maybe doomfist will suffice

[wintry matrix]

i'm just spitballing

[balmy wolf]

one leftover from D.va's DM being an e instead of a resource based ability is the lack of indication that D.va's DM is drained, unlike Reinhardt shield, for example

so if they can make DM clearer on that

that'd be great

[solid spear]

I mean I think DM is too big for one Is make her crit box smaller if it meant DM was 12 meters or something

[wintry matrix]

toggle could be cool too

[clever portal]

I wonder how a damage absorption limit would work

That's what some pros suggested

[balmy wolf]

D.va is sort of underrated in ladder tho

[clever portal]

That sort of idea would mean that some ultimates would eventually go though matrix

For example nano visor would eventually break matrix

Probably after 1-2 seconds

Depending on the limit

Imo the biggest problem with DVa is matrix time

[toxic yacht]

so that 76 would run over people even more?

[clever portal]

For example 4 seconds is a long time in pro games

[toxic yacht]

yeeah, no

[clever portal]

But short in plat

[toxic yacht]

I'm fine with nanovisor getting completely eaten

[clever portal]

Team fights sometimes continue over a minute in plat

[toxic yacht]

dva is like, the only reason why triple dps isn't overrunning everyone

nerfing matrix would basically make supports impossible to play and would result in everyone running 3 dps

[pine star]

I don't want her to be nerfed into oblivion

[toxic yacht]

matrix is a necessary evil

it's unfun af

[pine star]

I just want the DM to have a higher skill ceiling

Somehow

[toxic yacht]

but we need such kidna of bullshit with how ow is designed

[solid spear]

I mean I think if stuff like Zarya comes back and they didnt make Hog completr garbage she wouldn't be as retarded

[wintry matrix]

that's whyi don't like when people's argument to delet her is "unfun"

[toxic yacht]

like, she's unfun, but necessary

[pine star]

Raising her skill ceiling would make her less unfun

[wintry matrix]

i don't find her unfun

[toxic yacht]

her skill ceiling is pretty high

[balmy wolf]

i wonder how much of Blizzard's balancing decision is based on pick rate, considering D.va is very popular

[toxic yacht]

just not mechanically

[pine star]

I mean mechanically

[wintry matrix]

it's one of the feedbacks they consider probably

[solid spear]

That's sound great in theory but how?

[wintry matrix]

mechanically how?

[clever portal]

Matrix tracking

[toxic yacht]

Dva's skill is just balanced differently

I don't see anythign wrong with matrix not being mechanically demanding

also, you still need to aim

like, people who whine about dva eating nanovisor because DM takes no skill

pressing Q

and pointing at people

while the pc aims for you

also isn't skillful

lul

[pine star]

^

[wintry matrix]

like, correct me if i'm wrong, but isn't Dash kinda the same?

more management than mechanics

[pine star]

You have to aim with dash...

[wintry matrix]

don't need a lot of aim

[pine star]

Dash is probably one of the most high skill abilities in the game

What are you talking about?

It requires both mechanical skill AND shit tons of gamesense to use properly

[blazing parrot]

when people whine about dva matrix lmfao

you dont ult into a rein with a shield

[toxic yacht]

well, rein shield is 100x easier to get around

[clever portal]

But somehow top 5 dps players seem to be doing it

[blazing parrot]

true

[toxic yacht]

you also know when rein shield is up

[blazing parrot]

but still

[toxic yacht]

rein can't fly to you

and cuck you

[wintry matrix]

gamesense i agree with you that requires a lot, but aim? i dunno, don't "just" need to know when and then just dash in a general area

[blazing parrot]

you can also destroy the shield

and break dva mech

then ult

[pine star]

Rein can't shove his shield in your mouth like D.Va can lol

[blazing parrot]

[pine star]

Completely different issues

[toxic yacht]

breaking dva mech and ulting is 10x harder than breaking a shield

[clever portal]

Just add a red flashing light on DVa, when matrix is under 50%

[blazing parrot]

[toxic yacht]

but yes, too many teams

don't use bomb

on dva

before matrixing

like, they nanovisor into dva after wasting pulsebomb

then they whine about dva

[blazing parrot]

imagine how cancer this game would be if there was no dva

[toxic yacht]

🤔

[wintry matrix]

that triggers me so much

like, in the WC i saw so much visors wasted in DM

[clever portal]

Use sombra

[toxic yacht]

it's like that in every western tournament

[blazing parrot]

only have rez, beat and trance to mitigate a well placed death blossom
