[pearl stratus]

And get Puppy parties.

The hot blond chick probably didn't hurt either.

[onyx shore]

seeing that makes me hungry

wait is that guy playing with wireless mouse?

wut

[coral bloom]

why the ult from boom?

[river birch]

how is it 1 am

with a live game

what time is it where theyre playing this

[onyx shore]

it's probably night time in america

when i google it,it's 22.28 in LA

[river birch]

Thats pretty late

its almost 2 in the morning for me

[onyx shore]

european?

[river birch]

so I was surprised that a game was lasting this long

Boston

[onyx shore]

ah,east coast?

[river birch]

yeah

[onyx shore]

welp

[river birch]

100,000 thats pretty good

for a stream so late

[onyx shore]

you can't please everybody anyway

like

the 1st game starts at 7AM in the morning in asia

[river birch]

Im glad to see OWL is still pulling in numbers. Of course, different timezones make it so that there is no perfect time to stream these things

[onyx shore]

well

this numbers are inflated

bcos of the token

[river birch]

Didnt know that

[coral bloom]

they do rebroadcasts for other regions anyway. plus everything gets put on vod so late games isn't really a big deal

[onyx shore]

if you connect your twitch to bnet,you get token for watching

[river birch]

I thought I had to use bits on twitch for tokens

[onyx shore]

they probably realized this when they rescheduled,and do this to mitigate the damage

[river birch]

Hmm

Well

I gotta sleep

buenas noches chat

[icy yoke]

wait so if fusion are 3-0 whats the point of the 4th map

does it affect standings

[onyx shore]

yeah

better to win 4-0 than win 3-1

[icy yoke]

does it affect tiebreakers

[prime gale]

does anyone know if players also see the same interface that is on stream (with the different colors) or if that is just for spectator

[onyx shore]

yeah

thats for spectator only

[coral bloom]

if record is tied they look at points each team has

[onyx shore]

the players are seeing the default skin

[prime gale]

ah cool, figured that might be annoying to have to get used to different colors all the time

[delicate mural]

Hey @idle beacon, this week is a repeat of the last full week of OWL, where Houston played both London and Boston and you said they couldn't win either game. And I just wanted to let you know, I am still here to gloat.

[spring lintel]

It’s almost 2 am and they are still going wtf

[timid tree]

I’m in UK and I haven’t slept lul

It’s 6:39am

[prime gale]

3 people talking about the games on a desk half a meter from eachother and Puckett still using that exaterated shouting voice

[spring lintel]

It’s 2 am in the US

[prime gale]

..........

[timid tree]

I need those owl tokens

[delicate mural]

12:40am in Texas.

[silk linden]

What's up with Boston?

[prime gale]

7:40 here lol

[delicate mural]

I want owl tokens. How many do you need to buy an owl?

[onyx shore]

?

[prime gale]

100 per skin i think

[limpid estuary]

Yeah 100

[delicate mural]

Oh, just owl skins? That seems kind of morbid, but to each their own.

[silk linden]

🦉

[limpid estuary]

If you watch 100 matches, you get 100 tokens

[delicate mural]

👌

[limpid estuary]

Today was... How many?

13?

[delicate mural]

You mean maps.

[limpid estuary]

Yes

My bad

[delicate mural]

A token per map.

[limpid estuary]

So today was 13 then, yes?

[prime gale]

skins are cool in context of OWL but ingame they are pretty lame/ugly tbh. just default skins with different color

[silk linden]

Check on the site it your country is eligible though

[delicate mural]

I was making a joke that I would've assumed would be obvious this far in.

BUT NOPE.

Time to pull the ripcord.

[silk linden]

I got the joke

[onyx shore]

the owl skins are great if you have a hero

[delicate mural]

HOOT!

[onyx shore]

that you like

but you dont like the skins

the overwatch skins

[limpid estuary]

I for one

[onyx shore]

like

[limpid estuary]

Like the epics best

[onyx shore]

moira

[limpid estuary]

For the most part

[onyx shore]

all moira skins are shit

[prime gale]

lol yeah moira has only awful skins

[onyx shore]

that's why i bought outlaws moira

[delicate mural]

If you're a Gladiators, Outlaws, or Dynasty fan, the skins are fantastic.

[prime gale]

need a meme skin for moira like grillmaster 76

[delicate mural]

Otherwise.

They are meh.

[onyx shore]

and then bcos i like frogston skin,but i dont have it

i bought dynasty winston

[silk linden]

Fuel skins are aight

[prime gale]

the dynasty black gold skins are definitely best color combo yeah

[delicate mural]

Fuel skins are the middle of the road most generic Dallas Mavs lookin' blue skins you can have.

[prime gale]

black gold soldier with the gold weapon is pretty lit

[delicate mural]

But.

I mean.

Generic is better than whatever London wears.

[onyx shore]

i wonder why every team only play 10 matches?

[delicate mural]

London's skins are easily the sloppiest.

[onyx shore]

why not 11

[prime gale]

most of the colors are ugly af

like the red ones

[limpid estuary]

Do I need to wait for the replays

To get my tokens

[prime gale]

dragons i believe

[limpid estuary]

Also, Dynasty looks good

[delicate mural]

Dragons and Mayhem share a basic color scheme.

[limpid estuary]

But Shock

Is also not bad

And their gold matches golden guns

[delicate mural]

Shock has good colors.

[onyx shore]

dragons got more red

[delicate mural]

I'm not that sold on the skins.

[onyx shore]

mayhem got more yellow

[delicate mural]

But I like orange and gray.

[limpid estuary]

Shame the team isnt very good

[delicate mural]

They could have better skins.

Like.

[limpid estuary]

They cant do legendaries

[delicate mural]

Maybe more gray than orange.

I didn't say legendaries.

[onyx shore]

my only regret is

[limpid estuary]

Just better epics

[delicate mural]

Better color distribution.

[onyx shore]

we got great skins

[limpid estuary]

I really like the Shock

Shock Mei

[onyx shore]

but every tournament before owl use standard skins

[limpid estuary]

Is really ncie

[onyx shore]

like wtf

[limpid estuary]

It has a nice mix of bright colours and gray

Which is still

Really light

[delicate mural]

I think Outlaws might have the best looking skins, but I'm a sucker for purple. So.

I'm jealous of LA.

[prime gale]

10/10 esports discussion btw

[delicate mural]

I'm glad you agree.

[prime gale]

those seoul dynasty are fabulous

[limpid estuary]

Id say OWL skins qualify, but, if you wanna discuss esports Ill leave

Like, the actual games

That just finished

[prime gale]

no ty

[limpid estuary]

Or tomorrows

[delicate mural]

"No, I just want to be a butt."

[prime gale]

i was just joking i think i mightve even started this discussion :p

[delicate mural]

Black with gold accents is good.

I'm not a fan of that green in OpTic Gaming's color scheme? But it somehow works in those Outlaws skins.

I feel like Shanghai should lean a lot harder into red.

[onyx shore]

i hope someday natus vincere wll be in overwatch

[delicate mural]

And less into yellow.

[onyx shore]

that color scheme is gonna looks cool on owl skins

[prime gale]

black and yellow, black and yellow, black and yellow

[delicate mural]

I feel like more red and black, personally.

[vernal galleon]

something something what it is

Black and yellow

[prime gale]

i mean navi

would be black and yellow

right?

[delicate mural]

What would a Toronto team be called?

[onyx shore]

Toronto Maples

?

[prime gale]

toronto syrups

[delicate mural]

Already got the Maple Leafs.

[onyx shore]

Toronto Velociraptors

[delicate mural]

Yes.

Original.

Never been done before.

They should do that.

[prime gale]

i want an amsterdam team

i have no idea what they would be called though

any ideas

[delicate mural]

I dunno.

There was a basketball team in Toronto that predates the Raptors.

[prime gale]

im dutch and i have no idea what would be relevant

[delicate mural]

Called the Huskies.

Maybe that.

Maaaaaybe the Toronto Drakes.

And the logo would be Drake's face.

[onyx shore]

there was a guy who posted a concept skins for canadian overwatch league team

but i can't find the reddit thread

[prime gale]

drake in a wheelchair

backs to his roots

[delicate mural]

I still think a team in, like, Oslo would be cool.

He started from the bottom and now he's here.

In a wheelchair.

[onyx shore]

germany team

[prime gale]

black white and red colors? lol

Berlin Blitz

[limpid estuary]

Nevermind someone already said

Toronto Maples is impossible

Because of the NHL

[onyx shore]

Paris Musketeers

[prime gale]

Paris Connoisseurs

[limpid estuary]

6 more teams would be interesting. Then you can have east coast, west coast, and overseas

As 3 divisions

Unless they wanna keep it as Atlantic/Pacific

[onyx shore]

i think having 2 divisions helps

like

[gaunt acorn]

standings updated for today in pinned messages

[onyx shore]

america can have their own divisions

just combine europe and asia

[limpid estuary]

Then theyre gonna need

6 teams

And America can get 0

[prime gale]

europe is already combined with asia kappa keepo

[limpid estuary]

So its 9-9

[prime gale]

i think they will definitely do mostly non american teams in next batch tbh

probably not 0 american though

[limpid estuary]

At least

Another Korean team

Id expect

Im still surprised theres only 1

[onyx shore]

yeah

[prime gale]

offtopic btw but i dreamt about overwatch tonight

i was sniping people as widow

but i never ever play widow

what does this mean

[supple prism]

oh wow it does seem to work by watching recordings

[gaunt acorn]

getting tokens?

[supple prism]

kinda annoyed that i failed to recieve about 8 drops that twitch said i should have

[gaunt acorn]

no, i think you're just getting your tokens from watching live on a bit of a delay

you can't get tokens from watching vods

[supple prism]

thats quite a delay then

ill check early tomorrow then

3 1/2 hour delay seems long

[solid spear]

@supple prism I was getting tokens from the Wednesday matches the next day it can take a while

[supple prism]

Is there also a delay between twitch drops becoming tokens?

[slim summit]

Yes

I have 28 twitch drops somehow despite there only being 25 maps

[silk linden]

I wanted to highlight this perfect comment from the Houston-London post game thread https://www.reddit.com/r/Competitiveoverwatch/comments/7zkkqn/post_match_thread_spoilers_london_spitfire_vs/duoqo68

[slim summit]

but I've so far received only 19 tokens

(I've watched all of the matches)

[silk linden]

Also I've only just realized the irony of Muma being called Austin

[delicate mural]

Is it ironic, though?

[silk linden]

He playes for Houston

[royal acorn]

Re runs

hello

I wonder where's everybody

[slim summit]

I did 100 bits so I could get the bad Tracer skin

🤷

[royal acorn]

why would you want that skin?

Atleast you have drops 😃

[onyx shore]

turns out the casters schedule are fix

Day Match 1 Match 2 Match 3
Weds Monte Doa Uber X Monte Doa
Thurs Semmler Hex Uber X Semmler Hex
Fri Semmler Hex Monte Doa Semmler Hex
Sat Uber X Monte Doa Uber X

[sullen berry]

@thick falconediaz#5606 (wrong ping) is this something that came up internally or made available?

I'm not surprised if schedule for casters are starting to get a little predictable based on the 1st stage routine

I'm imagining how refreshing it would be to have monte at the desk like they did Semmler during week 3 stage 1

[feral wing]

hell yeah

69

hell yeah

finally Fusion have a 0-0 win/loss map ratio.

hurray

huzzah

they used to have -4

lol

not as bad as shanghai with their -32 though

[tight vault]

shanghai is amazing

[vestal berry]

I didn't expect fusion to do well without shadowburn, but EQO really pulled in for them

[balmy wolf]

JAKE IS MAD BECAUSE HE IS BAD

[limber pine]

no-mercy meta benefits an aggressive dive

EQO is much more aggressive than SB

[vestal berry]

why is jake mad again?

i forgot

[tacit aspen]

Woke up this morning and checked scores....WAT

Boston losing 0-4?!

And Mayhem taking a map of NYXL?

[limber pine]

new meta new map rotation

= fun stuff

[magic zinc]

I was hoping for tank meta with these maps but doesn't seem to be the case rip

[deft valley]

i'm glad

tank meta is super boring to watch imo

[magic zinc]

Now we're back at dive pre-Mercy

We've had what, 10 months of dive now?

[deft valley]

it's not new
it's still more fun

plus I think we'll see some more tank comps as a kind of ace in the hole deal

now that it's somewhat viable

just won't be the default

[pearl stratus]

We're also going to see a couple games of just "My Widow is better than yours" roll.

Since this map selection has a few maps that are perfect for that.

[tacit aspen]

Well with dive come anti tive too. So it's not just dive.

Like Houston on Kings row running Hanzo, Junk, Rein, Zarya.

I think it depends on the team

[vestal berry]

J LUL K E

[digital coral]

the genji deflecting pharah

[silk linden]

"my widow is better than yours" requires mercy doesn't it. Also someone should tell Shock that it's only a viable strategy sometimes, not always

[sweet hamlet]

Why was ShadowBurn out?

[jagged crater]

He was feeling generous and wanted to give EQO a chance

and boy did he deliver

philly really hit a slam dunk with their recruiting

since they're one of the few teams that did a full trial

[limber pine]

agreed

[jagged crater]

they were basically like boston, mostly unknown

and often put on the lowest end of the power rankings before OWL started

[vestal mortar]

Watching the Houston VOD now C:

[silk linden]

you're gonna have fun

[limber pine]

such a good match

[silk linden]

bit of a back and forth though, it was mostly one team dominating a map over the other

[opal nacelle]

meep

[tight vault]

seoul

gon lose

[cerulean plume]

Against shock

Hell no

[silk linden]

it's like a 85% chance of being a 4-0

[tight vault]

will shock win a map

[limber pine]

it went to tiebreaker last stage

[silk linden]

shock look bad this stage though

[limber pine]

cuz SD needed a 4-0 to stay alive for playoffs and lost

[cerulean plume]

You're right but this seems to be a good healer meta for them

[limber pine]

SFS ran into a fissure

[cerulean plume]

[tight vault]

j luk ake

[plucky sun]

anyone going to blizzard arena tomorrow

or has gone to blizzard arena

[silk linden]

we're all poor non californians

[plucky sun]

lmao

[gloomy valley]

shadowburn never speaks

[slim summit]

There's been 25 maps, right?

I've got 22 tokens

[silk linden]

it's better than nothing

wait, ZP works for Outlaws now?

[supple prism]

The whole thing is wonky, 25 maps if they include the breaker maps, twitch gave me 35 drops since beginning of the stage, but only have 19 tokens last I checked yesterday.

[slim summit]

notifications and tokens are still coming in to me

and it's not easy to make a proper accounting since they don't uhhh

all come in before the next day's matches

[supple prism]

Its new I guess so they are probably still working it out. At least having twitch play in the background while I play Overwatch still counts as watching.

[slim summit]

i think it stops streaming if you mute it and minimize so beware

[tawny sigil]

YEAH BREH

omg calm down

its just owl league

you know what this song is saying

JEFF JEFF JEFF JEFF JEFF

[young sonnet]

It only stops if you mute the player. If you mute the tab it doesn't stop

[silk linden]

it's a shame they didn't release a full Lucio album

this song bops

[young sonnet]

They need more beats instead of their standard soundtrack playing

[tawny sigil]

Beware of what though

[young sonnet]

i can't stand it

[tawny sigil]

if you mute and lower it... its only natural it pause it

[silk linden]

I think he's talking about the token thing

[tawny sigil]

there is no way for them to know if the stream is going though

like they know you're in the chat

unless twitch made a custom thing just for them

[young sonnet]

It happens on all channels

[turbid bloom]

how many points do yall have now?

from watching?

[tawny sigil]

zero... how can they know your account anyway?

[young sonnet]

Don't know. Haven't watched a game this week cause of shit EU times

[turbid bloom]

[tawny sigil]

POGGERS

[brisk roost]

Bro this fuckin song

[tough holly]

I don't recognize this song

[brisk roost]

I went to Twitch and I came in I hear this

[short vault]

MUSIC

[brisk roost]

This sounds like a fuckin ritual combat music

[short vault]

ITS A REMIX OF WIDOWS THING

the same music when u join a comp game

https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=HDFbz5gwfuM

[slim summit]

I was hoping it would be Hero 27 music

[short vault]

that would be actually insane

my boy malik 7

[brisk roost]

Not really a fan of Malik tbh

[onyx shore]

that green brace

[short vault]

he's just a meme

lol

[onyx shore]

he's waiting for the meme edit

[brisk roost]

That green arm brace is lit

[scarlet spear]

dude talks for like a minute for a whole matchday, not like you have to see him

[brisk roost]

Looks like straight outtta green screen

[short vault]

lol

[silk linden]

good move from sideshow

[brisk roost]

Told you

😂

Green screen man

[azure harbor]

[onyx shore]

lul

what was that sound

[turbid bloom]

so one one has been watching since the first day?

[young sonnet]

Birdring repping that merch

[turbid bloom]

twitch chat is basically cancer to ask questions

[young sonnet]

like a god church

AYY

crickets

[silk linden]

pine is such a gangster

[scarlet spear]

pine is loving the spotlight

[tawny sigil]

YEAH SPREADING THOSE GERMS

[brisk roost]

Lmao Big Boss Pine in the house once again!

[turbid bloom]

i guess no one has

[onyx shore]

let mei primal rage

[tough holly]

Oh no...

[tacit aspen]

Pine is considered flex?

Flexing between McCree and Widow?

[brisk roost]

Oh yeah

[scarlet spear]

pine has been playing support for LW before

[brisk roost]

Who won between Philly and Boston?

Didn't watch that

[young sonnet]

Let mei primal rage

[tough holly]

Philly stomp

[brisk roost]

Wow

[uncut moon]

fusion 4 -0'd them

[brisk roost]

I thought Boston was gonna stomp

[flint pasture]

let bastion grapple hook

[brisk roost]

Zen walking = Maximilien

[uncut moon]

add low gravity to comp

[onyx shore]

WE TOOK THIS PLACE

lul

shots fired

[silk linden]

they're all koreans, but sure

[tough holly]

Watch as we get an April Fools event with all of the suggested "changes"

[uncut moon]

lol

low gravity bastion with hog hook and grapple

[silk linden]

actually, how hard would it be to implement a system in custom games that allows you to give each hero custom abilities

it would definitely look dodgy

[uncut moon]

depends how they have hooked up the abilities, and animtions

[short vault]

[uncut moon]

not sure they could be turned into mutators tbh

[short vault]

BANNEDD

[silk linden]

the animations would just be broken, nothing you can do there

[uncut moon]

no sombra

😦

[young sonnet]

oof

[scarlet spear]

mano lmao

[silk linden]

wait since when is mano a support

[scarlet spear]

glockd the fuck out of birdring

he isnt

hes taking over arks role whos injured

[silk linden]

ooh

[rustic perch]

fix me if i'm wrong.. but wasnt mano a tank player?

[scarlet spear]

he is

[silk linden]

yep

[uncut moon]

ark is ill

[rustic perch]

aah

sucks

[scarlet spear]

NYXL only has 2 supports, so they have to get one of their other players to flex

bit weird that pine isnt playing support tho, i remember him playing support before

[silk linden]

arguably a fatal flaw, and yet here we are

[scarlet spear]

no clue how good manos support play is

[silk linden]

I guess every half brained OW pro can play mercy

[rustic perch]

well i mean pine might be good as support but his impact as dps is just too big

[silk linden]

volskaya in pro games looks way more fun than it is in casual games

[rustic perch]

because they do different forms of attacks

[young sonnet]

I think that applies to all maps tbh

[silk linden]

nah, some maps are still cancer in pro play

[rustic perch]

in ranked games you barely see teams take the way up at the stairs to the left

[silk linden]

did you watch stage 1

[kind steeple]

This is so much more fun to watch without the shit mercy meta.

[young sonnet]

I did watch stage 1

[silk linden]

Horizon and Junkertown are arguably even AIDSer in pro play

[scarlet spear]

i love the respect london has for jjonak

they try to focus him so hard

[uncut moon]

jjonak is so dangerous

on that zen

[silk linden]

JJonak got figured out by Jake, which is kinda hilarious

[tawny sigil]

try and succeeding at focusing him

he died the most

[brisk roost]

Lol

[silk linden]

"his sensitivity is so low, you can literally run circles around him" - Jake

his POV is so trippy

pros hit helix rockets every single time

[young sonnet]

Sombra just melts tanks christ

[quasi stump]

this sombra play is fantastic

[silk linden]

london have mastered the sombra volskaya defense

btw, kinda funny that sombra dominates on volskaya of all maps

[young sonnet]

lore friendly

[silk linden]

almost, since she's on defense

[quasi stump]

flawless defense

[young sonnet]

Disgusting defence

[silk linden]

same as against houston

[slim summit]

ez game ez life

[tough holly]

[silk linden]

london have got this strat down

[quasi stump]

London picking up right where they left off after winning stage 1

[silk linden]

...not really

[uncut moon]

sbb was

[silk linden]

they did lose to houston

[uncut moon]

feeding the emp

tickling them

the entire time

[slim summit]

they lost to houston in week 5 stage 1 too

[uncut moon]

sbb throwing

[brisk roost]

True

Then they beat them on the stage 1 playoffs

Then lost

Smh

[silk linden]

you're saying they picked up right where they left off, when they literally just lost to a team they beat in playoffs

[vagrant jacinth]

They were just feeding sombra ult charge

[brisk roost]

Lol

[young sonnet]

9-9 jjonak

[vagrant jacinth]

Lmao

[slim summit]

does anyone here have 25 tokens?

instead of 24

[young sonnet]

cba to check

[slim summit]

to verify that they are in fact counting the tiebreaker map

[young sonnet]

probably not

[frail remnant]

I have a feeling having a mercy is still better than a lucio

[brisk roost]

So what happened to Ark?

[frail remnant]

wrist injury 😉

[young sonnet]

Situational

[vagrant jacinth]

Wrist injury

[brisk roost]

Wew

Playing too much or somethin'?

[frail remnant]

😉

[frozen moat]

I don't understand how so many teams are getting away with running Lucio-Zen.. No way that shit would work in comp around where I'm at (high plat)

[brisk roost]

😉

[young sonnet]

Mercy is better in some situations and vice versa

[frail remnant]

You can see the consequences on london's tanks

Stage 1, london's tanks were generally well healed, but since yesterday there have been so many times where Woohyal has been running round on low health and doesn't get healed to full for a good while.

[frozen moat]

Yeah, running Lucio-Zen on defence on a lot of points makes less sense to me than running Moira-Zen

Moira can heal a hell of a lot more than lucio

[frail remnant]

Atleast sombra makes up for the shortfall of healing on defence

[uncut moon]

most of my games in mid plat have been either moira luico or moira ana

[woeful tinsel]

This is way better than the twitch chat, let me just say.

[silk linden]

guys, Lucio is for speed boost

[frozen moat]

and if you don't need the speed or boops, surely Moira would be the better choice

[frail remnant]

Exactly Veex, he can't sustain big dive tanks like Gesture

[serene tendon]

profit pls

[young sonnet]

MY MAN PROFIT

[woeful tinsel]

Profit = Prophet

[slim summit]

Reaper has had a ton of play this stage

[frail remnant]

Moira is good but her range is definitely her vice

[silk linden]

Reaper in pro play. We're back on the good shit

[north tendon]

smart reaper pick

[young sonnet]

oof

[slim summit]

is he a good anti-dive hero if they're running low heals?

[azure harbor]

[frozen moat]

On this point in particular, Moira's heals are soooo effective and powerful

Her damage is nice too

[young sonnet]

Well reaper melts tanks so he fucks winston immeadiately

on dive

[silk linden]

...kinda

[frail remnant]

Ey Libero is back

[silk linden]

winston has the bubbles

[frail remnant]

Birdring has been playing well so far

[silk linden]

anyway, it's dva reaper's biggest problem

[slim summit]

1 kill

[cobalt brook]

why is NY still playing Winston into Reaper?

[frail remnant]

First point Volskaya, his widow snipes were essential

[young sonnet]

[frail remnant]

Just switch off of lucio/zen!

[dusk garden]

whos the second match?

[silk linden]

dallas-la glad

[dusk garden]

not the teams

the commentators

[young sonnet]

Anyone got a valid reason to ban SBB for stage 2?

[frail remnant]

london are fully tilted

[frozen moat]

I feel like as soon as one team runs Moira-Zen, the other will be forced to just to keep up with the large increase in healing output

[onyx shore]

@dusk garden https://www.reddit.com/r/Competitiveoverwatch/comments/7zmhdm/since_a_lot_of_people_dont_seem_to_know_the_owl/

[atomic flicker]

he couldve given tracer more ult charge

[young sonnet]

Have they won a single lijiang game?

[frail remnant]

Yeah

VS Valiant on map 5

[boreal mango]

they've lost like 60% of their control games now?

[frail remnant]

They always slip up on ult usage on control

[boreal mango]

from my plat level analysis it seems like they leave it too open for back cap. as soon as they took it in round 2, they immediately rushed out to courtyard, allowing ny to go around the side

[brisk roost]

Dat POTG music tho

[dusk garden]

KINGS ROW POGGERS

[tawny sigil]

is it just me or they were not saying "popping off" before and now they do it all the time

[tawny sigil]

thanks XQC

[frail remnant]

[boreal mango]

Popping off a fat nut

[dusk garden]

When the OWL points system came out i was wondering why it was 100 points and not just 1 point, since you could only buy them in 100's

but makes sense now you get them for watching

[dusk garden]

five bucks for 1 skin

is bs

[boreal mango]

yeah I ain't buying any lol

[dusk garden]

but i like that theyre making a system like this

[frail remnant]

yeah.... I might have bought just one.

[dusk garden]

I got the free one they give you at the beginning and the other free one they give you for signing up to the newsletter

[boreal mango]

they're even worse value if you're outside of the USA

they're charging £5 lol

[dusk garden]

cough cough in canada cough cough

[boreal mango]

even if you include taxes and conversion rates we pay more

[dusk garden]

its 6.49$

plus tax

[boreal mango]

damn son

[frail remnant]

[dusk garden]

[frail remnant]

i dont mind it

other than it was just 3 exactly the same adverts in a row

[silk linden]

"Yes, but it became understandable to me why it took so long to nerf her given the absurd outcry after the changes were patched. I have been in esports for 13 years and I have never in my life observed a group of people get so angry about an obviously necessary nerf to a competitive game.

I can't begin to fathom why people would be incensed by removing something blatantly overpowered and unfun from a competitive experience, but I believe it influenced the speed of the patch so the developers could find a better solution." Monte, marry me

[dusk garden]

fathom

[boreal mango]

assuming that's about the reaction to the mercy nerf

[silk linden]

to think there are people out there who think she's unplayable now

[frail remnant]

mercy needed a huge buff

like atleast 6 resses each valkyrie

[dusk garden]

shes 100% playable, weve been seeing her in owl too

[silk linden]

like, I'm as far from the alt-right, 4chan camp, but whenever I see mercy mains spouting bullshit online the words "beta cucks" always spring to mind

fucking bronzes

[dusk garden]

lol

[frail remnant]

inb4 london loses

😦

[silk linden]

I remember when Bastion got his first buffs, I saw a very popular post that said "the fact that blizzard buffed bastion of all heroes shows they have no understanding of their own game"

[dusk garden]

london will loss

[boreal mango]

the die hard marcy mains were so used to always being needed and always being top support. they had the rug pulled from under their feet and suddenly have to actually fight for the top spot or learn to flex support heroes.

[silk linden]

bastion was literally the most useless hero at that point

[red canyon]

hating support is so much fun right??

[dusk garden]

the hero that really needs a nerf

junkrat

[silk linden]

I respect supports

[red canyon]

those fuckin idiot healers!!11

[silk linden]

but mercy mains are cunts

[boreal mango]

I don't think anyone here is hating support

[frail remnant]

I think McCree is in a great point atm

[boreal mango]

[silk linden]

I'm a support at heart, it's what I play the most in ranked

[frail remnant]

Tank for me

[boreal mango]

yeah I'm support/tank flex in comp haha

[silk linden]

but you gotta be objective in your criticism

[boreal mango]

[red canyon]

i thought the meme of hating mercy mains was dead already but theres always someone who hasnt gotten the memo

[silk linden]

and if people say that this mercy nerf wasn't badly needed, they frankly show lack of understanding of the game

keeping xl away
