Someone thought “hey, being a maid is fun, I’ll make it a sport”

fallen cloak
#

i looked it up and it looks like sweeping a rock with a broom

minor flame
#

nice grav lol

fathom acorn
#

And then currying existed

balmy wolf
#

yes they are sweeping the ice away to make it go faster

minor flame
#

Decay has been insane but his gravs are questionably

fathom acorn
#

Who wins in a fight

minor flame
#

bad

balmy wolf
#

makes like no difference

fathom acorn
#

Dafran fans vs glad fans

fallen cloak
#

uhh

#

idk

balmy wolf
#

pretty sure most people that like ATL like it because dafran

fallen cloak
#

tru

#

dafran is a core part of the team

balmy wolf
#

Glads fans were salty Surefour got benched

#

but Decay proved his worth

#

not the meta for surefour anyways

pearl cedar
#

im not salty at all

#

Surefour can come in for sombra

#

and im a big fan of his too lol

#

Decay plays better in the current meta so yea

fallen cloak
#

Pog Gladiators

fallen cloak
#

biggoose the pineapple

minor flame
#

Charge map pool was not in favor for them

fathom acorn
#

Glad fans are beautiful

#

Also this is great

fallen cloak
#

yall want anything from mcdonalds

fathom acorn
#

Charge have no chance at playoffs which means my predictions are almost 100% true

#

O

fallen cloak
#

calm down m8 dont wanna get too excited

fathom acorn
#

I was just talking about the shields up chant

nova wadi
#

Omg grills omg

balmy wolf
#

Imagine if next meta has no shields

#

and their motto is still shields up

#

gonna be akward

fathom acorn
#

Cries in gladiator

#

Also next meta will probably be pirate ship/bunker

fallen cloak
#

OI 👏 LADS 👏 LADS 👏 LADS 👏 HOT GIRLS

minor flame
#

charge still in playoffs lol

fathom acorn
#

No

nova wadi
#

Yes

fathom acorn
#

Look at their next match

fallen cloak
#

pineapple

minor flame
#

against Vancouver they wont be likely to stay there

fathom acorn
#

^

fallen cloak
#

OOH ITS 4:20

minor flame
#

unless they try to outplay in other comps

supple prism
#

3-1 i was right again

fathom acorn
#

Next meta will be mainly bunker with some 4/3 dps and occasional goats/dive

#

That’s my prediction

#

Probably completely off

minor flame
#

ehhh

#

hammond 3 dps dive

#

3-2-1

nova wadi
#

That will prolly be ladder meta

#

Bunker

fathom acorn
#

Or we could have bandage meta

fallen cloak
#

baptiste-orisa-bastion next meta

#

calling it

#

and then just

#

like healers n stuff

spring heath
#

boy do you sound excited

upper niche
#

Paris now look like they might make the playoffs with that loss from GZC

fathom acorn
#

Which is just a bunch of baptistes teabagging while saying his voiclien

spring heath
#

not you

#

caster

minor flame
#

Paris

fathom acorn
#

@upper niche I doubt it

minor flame
#

heheheh

fathom acorn
#

They’ll lose against fusions

nova wadi
#

Def

upper niche
#

They just need to beat Washington and it gives them enough to take 8th.

fathom acorn
#

And Dallas has 2 easy games coming up

upper niche
#

They can beat SFS on map differential.

balmy wolf
#

Time for Defiant to get a free win

minor flame
#

Paris v Shock and Philly

#

granted they have Justice but

#

Shock and Philly

upper niche
#

SFS basically need to beat Paris 4-0

#

3-1 won't do it.

minor flame
#

Dallas has 1 easy game

#

well

#

im not sure if its easy

#

its Boston

balmy wolf
#

I bet 100 fake dollars that Defiant wins

nova wadi
#

Which ones

upper niche
#

anyhow, i gtg.

nova wadi
#

Is dallas playing against

fathom acorn
#

Remember when spark was good?

#

Then they lost once

#

And died

minor flame
#

Spark was monstrous 1st week

#

2nd week was a no show

#

they managed to step it up at the end of 3rd week

fathom acorn
#

Basically the opposite of London

#

London sucked week 1

#

And they’ve gotten progressively better

minor flame
#

no London just kept on sucking and dominating back to back

fathom acorn
#

Also they just had easier matches

minor flame
#

oh this stage

#

i see

nova wadi
#

Yet i still want london to lose to seoul

fathom acorn
#

Won’t happen

nova wadi
#

Anything is possible.

minor flame
#

#

thats about all i can recall

balmy wolf
#

so many ults

#

inc

minor flame
#

getting ivy

#

which is the only real threat from defiant

fallen cloak
#

dafran said on stream once he was so close to quitting owl but atlantas sport coaches talked him out of it

mint flower
#

@hidden vault he got warned because he touched the camera

#

it was stupid

#

it was covering his screen a little and he touched it, that's all

fallen cloak
#

the blue in hangzhous colors annoy me

#

couldnt just have pink and white

balmy wolf
#

its basically whos Zarya builds fastest

mint flower
#

@fallen cloak you are correct
SHD was my profile pic, but until they get their shit together, I'm rooting for Toronto, AKA my second team

fallen cloak
#

aight

mint flower
#

Mainly cuz they are the closest I have to a hometown team this season

fallen cloak
#

closest team to my country would be london

mint flower
#

Also I really like Neko, don't know why

rare sable
#

closest to mine would be atlanta cause i live in a tiny town at the georgia/florida border 😔

fallen cloak
#

did all the players just get switched up this season?

#

i swear neko was on boston

#

right

mint flower
#

he was let go

minor flame
#

im hoping Krystal makes an appearance

#

at all

#

in the near future

mint flower
#

He wished to be on a different team cuz internal issues

#

Same thing happened to Striker

fallen cloak
#

striker said he "didnt feel at home at boston"

mint flower
#

His relationship with huk was really bad

fallen cloak
#

what does that mean

minor flame
#

means he didnt feel comfortable with boston

#

thats that

mint flower
#

Huk was an asshole

rare sable
#

huk's not very nice

balmy wolf
#

the same huk that played starcraft

#

?

#

canadians just ain't good at video games 😤 😤

#

feral igloo
#

HaHAa

fallen cloak
#

why isnt there a japanese team yet

#

video games were literally invented in japan

#

i think

feral igloo
#

Because the Japanese suck at overwatch

rare sable
#

they weren't-

#

wait

fallen cloak
#

oh

rare sable
#

rare sable
#

fallen cloak
#

nk already modifies news to make them look better

#

wouldnt be surprised if they said their team never lost a match

rare sable
#

i mean they wouldn't know would they

mint flower
#

Most likely teams I'd say are Busan, Stockholm, Berlin

rare sable
#

balmy wolf
#

they fought the good fight

rare sable
#

berlin is getting a team

#

i think?

fallen cloak

river magnet

minor flame
#

rare sable
#

#

Rooting for Toronto

minor flame
#

balmy wolf
#

speaking of which

minor flame
#

but toronto has none of that

balmy wolf
#

they got sombra now

minor flame
#

Goats wont be gone next stage

#

itll just be situational

#

river magnet
#

How bad is the zarya and zen nerfs tho?

You got 4 Chinese teams against 12 how many NA teams

#

1 of them making it into top 10 was kinda expected

rare sable
#

i actually forgot charge existed

minor flame
#

im not sure why people like to segregate the majority of the teams with the chinese teams

outer sluice
#

I forgot the fusion existed

minor flame
#

when most of them already are koreans

sullen berry
#

I forgot people get really upset over a loss

night tusk
#

defiant or spark guys

rare sable
#

i forgot shock existed because i haven't seen them do literally anything

#

defiant

minor flame
#

shock?

#

theyve been consistently top this stage

rare sable
#

i'm probably being dumb but

#

ah-

anyones forgettable team is Mayhem

sullen berry

Imagine being a pharah and getting killed by brigg

river magnet

Loooool that grav

justice is mine

sullen berry
#

If Seoul can use fits and doesn't lose them the series

outer sluice
#

Justice is garbage

sullen berry
#

They B-teamed the Justice

outer sluice
#

Why are they a team

sullen berry
#

Truth is why not

#

Think about shanghai

gaunt acorn
#

@sullen berry mayhem is just so boring

minor flame
#

Justice is atleast notable in losses

#

Mayhem is actually boring

gaunt acorn
#

washington are the worst but florida are the most forgettable

rare sable
#

justice shouldn't be a team

sullen berry
#

BQB was a name that came up when BBQ was mistyped

outer sluice
#

They should remove Justice and Mayhem

rare sable
#

not mayhem

#

florida needs some sort of team imo

outer sluice
#

They got Atlanta

rare sable
#

i mean-

#

you're not wrong

minor flame
#

you know for a team called Mayhem and the fact that florida is prob one of the most insane teams

#

insane states*

#

mayhem isp retty fucking boring

rare sable
#

i was abut to say

#

about*

#

florida ain't no insane team

#

half of the owl players aren't even from the place their team is based tho so like

#

just draft some random players for a florida team and it'd be good

We’ll see

rare sable
#

kodak best support don't @ me

outer sluice
#

How do you get sweeped by the Glads

#

Who have nothing to play for

rare sable

outer sluice

balmy wolf

#

he's just gonna pop as ususal

rare sable
#

dafran on sombra

#

balmy wolf
#

#

#

Danteh will destroy him and the rest of his team

rare sable
#

okay danteh is good i will give you that but

#

no

outer sluice
#

Bet

rare sable
#

if reign actually loses i'm gonna cry-

#

let's hope we don't have another rialto for them

balmy wolf
#

oof

#

that is indeed true

#

they'll 3-0 before that

#

so safe

#

I must say I didnt expect this from Toronto

#

especially their 4-0

#

same, it's sombra goats tho

#

and they rolled on kings just now

#

similar to what happened with the uprising and their lack of a counter

#

anyone remember note on reaper?

#

now that was classic

halcyon reef
#

Can I just say is just really not that pretty? :/ a lot of the female cast members are really hyped up for nothing. Maybe that's just me but they look like they're trying way too hard.

#

Like look at the dudes. Brennan is a freaking hunk

#

But Soe and the other 2 girls they cast just look... platinum

balmy wolf
#

hammond inc

#

kappa

rare sable
#

hammond worst hero change my mind

balmy wolf
#

jebaited

halcyon reef
#

I raise you Brigitte

rare sable
#

but brig is op that makes her good

balmy wolf
#

and me reaper

#

Zarya needs rework

rare sable
#

why-

balmy wolf
#

not more brig nerfs

halcyon reef
#

Brig is just a pain in the ass

balmy wolf
#

nah, if she does she would be broken

#

what would they change?

rare sable
#

why does zarya need a rework

#

she's good where she is

halcyon reef
#

The real worst rn is mercy

rare sable
#

no

#

mercy is actually decent

balmy wolf
#

lots of pros think Zarya is the problem

rare sable
#

they're just salty grav destroys them lmao

#

grav is such a gamechanging ult tho

balmy wolf
#

but we will see with the upcoming Zarya changes

rare sable
#

i feel like if she's reworked they need to keep that at least

balmy wolf
#

as long as you combo

#

they are at least looking into it

#

ult alone is a extended crowd control

gaunt acorn
#

pros didn't seem to like the initial zarya ptr nerfs

balmy wolf
#

they changed them again

halcyon reef
#

Idk mercy's pocketing just isn't what it use to be

balmy wolf
#

Rip Grav

halcyon reef
#

If they're actually gonna go through with the 2/2/2 role que thing then healers will need to have a bigger midgame impact imo

balmy wolf
#

Yeah but

#

if they do that they can balance the game around 2 2 2

#

meaning they can give someheroes more freedom

halcyon reef
#

And mercy is very flat end game healer. Zenyatta, brigette, lucio will just shine more

#

Which is why they nerfed lucio and brig to begin with

balmy wolf
#

I think Blizzard will do something sneaky like this

#

Tweak until 2 2 2 is meta

#

then just slide the role que rug

#

under our feet

rare sable
#

zen's the best healer tbh

halcyon reef
#

Ana at this point will shine more midgame. So will the new flex healer dude

rare sable
#

bastille

balmy wolf
#

Ana is pog

rare sable
#

that's his name rigt-

#

right*

halcyon reef
#

Mercy is just low/no impact

forest raven
#

Baptiste

halcyon reef
#

Yeah i think so

#

Even in a meta 2/2/2 comp mercy is gonna be over shadowed

balmy wolf
#

Mercys damage boost is good on paper

#

problem is current meta too dominant

halcyon reef
#

Decent

#

Baptiste Ana and zen do it better

balmy wolf
#

yes

#

but we will see, Zen discord getting nerfed

halcyon reef
#

Honestly everyone does everything better than mercy

#

It's already been tested in pro game pugs

balmy wolf
#

I think they are trying to buff mercy indirectly

#

by trying things like junkrat buffs

halcyon reef
#

Mercy in this state is just flat out bad

#

The problem is it needs to be a flat out buff to her

balmy wolf
#

Dont want to run into the same problem tho

#

that they had with reaper

halcyon reef
#

Give her back her original 60 hps heal

balmy wolf
#

where it significantly makes lower ranks less fun

She'll then at least be on par with moira heals

#

Barely but it's a start

#

Right now she's literally the 4th best healer in terms of raw healing

balmy wolf
#

or make rez insta again

gaunt acorn
#

nope

halcyon reef
#

Moira Ana Lucio and then Mercy

gaunt acorn
#

don't do that

feral igloo
#

If there was a North Korean team what would it be called? The Pyongyang Royalty? The Pyongyang Thunder?

balmy wolf
#

would mean we at least see her in games

#

potentially

halcyon reef
#

She use to be the best in terms of just raw healing

#

Then moira

#

Then ana buff

#

Then mercy nerf

#

They literally shit on her into hell

balmy wolf
#

Wasnt mercy good in last OWL

gaunt acorn
halcyon reef
#

No

gaunt acorn
#

excuse me what

#

mercy was among the most-picked heroes in owl s1

#

her and d.va were run in practically every comp

balmy wolf
#

I think its just a cycle

halcyon reef
#

Goats reigned supreme towards the end of the season

gaunt acorn
#

that's.. not true

balmy wolf
#

something becomes meta > complants > changes

halcyon reef
#

It is tho lol

gaunt acorn
#

goats was not played in owl s1

slow cairn
#

Genji is kinda dogshit rn

feral igloo
#

Not really. London beat philly with dps heroes

gaunt acorn
#

are you thinking of world cup

#

goats saw 0 playtime in season 1

feral igloo
#

There was no goats season 1

gaunt acorn
#

after mercy-dive was dead, the meta shifted to double sniper, then single-support for playoffs

feral igloo
#

It was still dive and then double sniper

#

Seoul lost during dive meta remember. Then the meta shifted to double sniper where London dominated

halcyon reef
#

Oh yeah I'm getting things mixed up

feral igloo
#

Which is funny because Seoul invented dive

balmy wolf
#

Maybe the problem is most mercys are one tricks

#

kappa

feral igloo
#

It’s like goats losing using goats to like fuckin Houston

balmy wolf
#

But she needs to be fixed somehow for sure

feral igloo
#

I don’t think you can fix mercy.. how?

balmy wolf
#

by buffing single target dps

#

like junkrat

halcyon reef
#

If they made dive more viable it'd be good but i don't see that happening in 2/2/2 with where mercy genji and tracer are rn

balmy wolf
#

I think they fixed junkrat buffs because was too strong with mercy

#

on ptr

#

or something

halcyon reef
#

Baptiste

#

208 damage per grenade

feral igloo
#

If dive was made meta again, we would see Seoul and London rise to the top of the charts again.

#

Introduce hero bans.

#

That’s how

#

No heroes being butchered needed

worn falcon
#

No, no hero bans

junior flicker
#

TorontoDefiant < NewYorkExcelsior

gaunt acorn
#

that's a poor take

feral igloo
#

Would you rather nerf heroes into oblivion?

gaunt acorn
#

seoul struggled even during peak s1 dive

feral igloo
#

Because their coaching staff sucked not because they were incapable

worn falcon
#

They're not nerfed into oblivion

balmy wolf
#

I think have hero bans but only in OWL

#

because lets be honest

gaunt acorn
#

london didn't fare that well during dive either

feral igloo
#

Yeah. Blizzard nerfs heroes into oblivion

worn falcon
#

but hero bans arent the solution

gaunt acorn
#

they got a burst of energy during playoffs

feral igloo
#

Just ban one hero per team

gaunt acorn
#

which was.. definitely not dive

feral igloo
#

That’s all you need

worn falcon
#

No

balmy wolf
#

Who would agree with bans but only in OWL?

worn falcon
#

Not me

halcyon reef
#

I think it'd really do well tbh

feral igloo
#

Why are you so afraid of hero bans? It wouldn’t impact you unless you are a one trick @worn falcon

balmy wolf
#

i think the teams would just ban heros that aren't meta

halcyon reef
#

Nah

balmy wolf
#

it would be the same as banning in league

feral igloo
#

No. One team bans brigette the other team bans dva

#

No more goats

worn falcon
#

Im not afraid, just dont like forced heros, they play whatever the meta is or how they feel comfy, giving more diversity to pick

halcyon reef
#

They'd ban heroes their comp struggles most with tbh

worn falcon
#

We had diverse comps this season

feral igloo
#

But hero bans enforce diversity lol

balmy wolf
#

Yeah, bans raise the skill ceiling for sure

halcyon reef
#

Snoats, symoats, goats, sombroats

#

Very diverse

balmy wolf
#

I think the problem is most people dont want it to affect them

worn falcon
#

Yes

feral igloo
#

Only one tricks would hate the idea of hero bans.

balmy wolf
#

so having it only in OWL wouldnt be a problem

worn falcon
#

and you forgot pharah, hammond comp

feral igloo
#

Just play more than one hero

balmy wolf
#

since in OWL is where the skill celing should be highest

worn falcon
#

in volksaya

balmy wolf
#

so only bans in OWL

#

heros bans is only the band aid for a big ass wound

worn falcon
#

Im not onetrick FYI @feral igloo

pearl cedar
#

idk with a good boop on ivy

halcyon reef
#

Tbh you also gotta realize they're gonna cater nerfs and buffs mostly to what the audience wants

feral igloo
#

True

halcyon reef
#

They're where their money comes from

feral igloo
#

But hero bans are the best way. Listen to the pros

worn falcon
#

The pros are biased too

#

as fuck

halcyon reef
#

It's their meta after all

feral igloo
#

They play the game like a job, they know what’s best for the game

halcyon reef
#

They're allowed to be

pearl cedar
#

ehh

worn falcon
#

Except they dont know what is the best

pearl cedar
#

id argue pros in every competitive esport *do not know whats best

balmy wolf
#

the pros aren't always right about things

halcyon reef
#

They know the solutions for their own problems tho

pearl cedar
#

they know whats strong

halcyon reef
#

Better than anyone

pearl cedar
#

but they cant come up with good solutions

feral igloo
#

Someone that spends over ten hours a day wouldn’t know what’s wrong with his or her own sport? Sure yeah, ok.

pearl cedar
#

because their solutions create more problems.

balmy wolf
#

Which is why the bans should only be in OWL, it means they need to be super diverse but the average joe does not

#

pros are insightful, but not dev insightful

pearl cedar
#

I mean, if there were bans in OWL

worn falcon
#

What boop said

pearl cedar
#

what will stop the teams from playing the same comps

#

?

worn falcon
#

Theyre not devs

pearl cedar
#

they could all just ban the same stuff

balmy wolf
#

Eachother

#

they would stop eachother

pearl cedar
#

i thought 5 bans in league would bring more diversity

balmy wolf
#

just like in league

pearl cedar
#

but people just pick the same stuff in competitive LCS

#

the extra bans change almost nothing unless its a target ban

uneven wren
#

canada can celebrate both teams made playoffs 😛

halcyon reef
#

Lol comparing league to ow

balmy wolf
#

League also has way more heros

halcyon reef
#

League has a roster 3x as big

pearl cedar
#

right

#

but

#

the same number of champs are picked regardless

#

which is why bans alone arent enough

balmy wolf
#

make the game 5v5 problem solverinod

halcyon reef
#

But that's cuz half are irrelevant anyways

pearl cedar
#

if you want diversity you need a solution appropriate for your game specifically

#

right.

feral igloo
#

If we had a 100 heroes in overwatch

pearl cedar
#

but something OW does well is that they have almost every hero relevant

feral igloo
#

Hero bans would work

halcyon reef
#

Most other heroes aren't irrelevant in ow

balmy wolf
#

yeah

pearl cedar
#

but if we get 2 bans per team for example

#

teams would still play the same comps

feral igloo
#

That’s too much.

pearl cedar
#

it would just be all dive

halcyon reef
#

Not at all?

pearl cedar
#

instead of goats

feral igloo
#

There isn’t enough heroes to ban 4

#

You could just ban all the main tanks

#

Lol

pearl cedar
#

exactly LOL

balmy wolf
#

Brig banned every time

feral igloo
#

One ban per team is enough

balmy wolf
#

jaja

pearl cedar
#

bans present too many problems, ow just needs another set of nerfs until a new meta takes shape

#

another set of buffs/nerfs i mean

feral igloo
#

Ruining people’s characters isn’t good in the long run

halcyon reef
#

One ban might be brig on an opponent and another could be d.va

pearl cedar
#

thats how the game's always been

halcyon reef
#

One could run goats, another wouldn't be able to

feral igloo
#

Not how it works

#

It bans it for both teams

pearl cedar
#

I'm just happy the OW dev team hasn't caved into hero bans yet

#

i like the way the game is currently, even if its all goats right now

halcyon reef
#

That's not how Jane was explaining it from what i heard anyways

feral igloo
#

Who the fuck is Jane? A mercy main?

pearl cedar
#

he means JAyne

worn falcon
#

...

halcyon reef
#

Each team banned a hero on the other's

pearl cedar
#

Jayne**

feral igloo
#

Oh

halcyon reef
#

Yeah Jayne autocorrect

feral igloo
#

Haha

#

My idea of hero bans is “if one team bans X, X becomes unplayable for both teams”

#

Both teams get one pick

halcyon reef
#

The way he explained it, you only banned on opponents rosters

feral igloo
#

I know what his idea of hero bans are

halcyon reef
#

It wasn't conditional to both

feral igloo
#

My idea is conditional to both

#

Like smite

halcyon reef
#

I'm saying yours isn't the same as the pros

feral igloo
#

Many people have different ideas on what hero bans should work like since there isn’t a cemented hero ban system yet, it’s up in the air for how it will work.

halcyon reef
#

So it allows more diversity on their part

feral igloo
#

Nobody knows besides geoff

pearl cedar
#

Defiant is really good on this map

#

wtf

#

Disgusting time on rialto

halcyon reef
#

Defiant is really good in general

pearl cedar

north beacon

Wow Dallas is #5 right now

#

All because of SHD

halcyon reef

Yeah they fucked SHD last night
