Why? Leaking stuff that shouldn't been leaked
It's better if we don't know anything and get by surprise

That was more just a tangent that your presence on social medias, including discord, stick with you for a long time.
DM's are only DM's till they become shared with everyone else, etc.
So be professional when you want things to be a profession.

Poll: What role is the easiest to go pro in?
Depends on how many roles you mean
Cause there are 2 each for tanks and supports and then things get weird with dps
Hit scan, projectile, whatever you wanna categorize doomfist as
2 roles per big role
i.e
MS, OS, OT, MT, HItscan, proj
Honestly I would say the supports then. Primary healer due to how much more defined your role is. Dps are constantly under pressure to perform remarkably well with probably the widest range of players
Tanks are just hard in general
main support is who?
mercy and lucio?
Support isnt easy but primary healing your role is much more defined
I dont like that way of categorizing
yeah just stay alive
and heal
but who is in main healerd
I often call it “primary healer” or off healer”
who are the main healers*
Primary healer sounds exactly as it is where as main healers is mercy lucio but they’re no longer required as much
but who would count
as in the role
Primary healers are the heroes who heal the most
Ana, Moira, Bap.
Mercy weird middle
Off: zen lucio brig
but i thouhgt it was always mercy lucio
who are main heals
Main healers are mercy lucio
and final question is there any hero you could go pro by one tricking
I made a different term because main heals is a common miss-understanding within the community
Some say main heals is just that. You mainly heal
When other people say it was at the time the main supports used which was lucio and mercy
But that terminology i personally think doesnt work anymore
You can’t one trick anymore
Before u could one trick tracer and widow but that is no longer a viable option
what sr are u
just wonderi

karmic grotto
Any videos of SamuraiD?
balmy wolf
@balmy wolf none are the easiest
you will be against the best of the best that are all continuously getting better
and you need the mentality of wanting to work the hardest for the top role as opposed to the easy way out
on your mentality alone, not a single pro team will even waste time thinking about picking you up
main support players in pro league have to deal with high ground contests, shotcalling, IGLing, ult tracking, prediction, planning, strats, setups (boop shatters), ult economy with beat/valk, choosing whether to go aggressive or defensive, min maxing their damage out put
and thats just mechanics
theres also game sense and positioning
and in Main support, game sense and positioning require more thought than mechanics
not to mention these players are playing 40+ hours a week in dedicated rooms with paid coaching staff and with chefs that cook them proper nutritious meals with required physical workout routines
- am ~4.2k support/dps player ex-contenders staff
(not contenders player, just staff)

what is the job of their coaches if the supps already do the most stuff ?
karmic grotto
@balmy wolf That's just something that I still don't understand about how pro players work and learn. Because when I watch a stream of a Contenders player or an OWL player, it looks so simple
balmy wolf
@idle beacon idk if you know this but coaches domt actually play the game
they can help formulate new ideas and possible different ways of doimg things
but its rhe players job to do it
@karmic grotto its literally tens of thousands of hours of practice
idle beacon
@balmy wolf ofc not .. but a coach for me, is the one planning them strats
not saying you're talking garbage
or do you mean improvising strats ?
the main supp player
balmy wolf
i mean ok thats a coach for you, but an actual coach goes over different possible strategies and every possible choice
very rarely do players improvise
the only teams i can think of that do are Vancouver Titans or the old EnvyUs team
idle beacon
then i am misudnerstaning the planning strats part .. enlighten me 😃
balmy wolf
but thats ONLY because those teams have literally been playing with the same players over and over for the entire time
so to plan
you plan
to improvise
you improvise
karmic grotto
thousands of hours scrim, and I still don't understand their positioning, I just don't see what makes the difference
idle beacon
i find it freakin alot what they already have to do .. but also planning strats while doing all the other stuff .. is alot of stuff, eh
balmy wolf
the difference between a good coach and a good player is that the players knows what is the right thing to do and the coach knows why it's the right thing to do
so if the coach and explain why, the player can apply that info to other scenarios
i.e. high ground control
for example why do players hold in front of castle instead of on top of castle eichenwalde second point
high ground is the best for being able to apply safe pressure, meaning you,re trying to force the enemy into backing up or using important cooldowns while not having to do that yourself
karmic grotto
Because you would be shooting over their shields
and no matter how much HP a shield has
it will be broken
balmy wolf
fun fact
karmic grotto
and since they're so packed up there
balmy wolf
having a winston safely pressuring is way better than rein
from high ground i mean
so its not the shield
karmic grotto
High ground?
In second point there are 2 high grounds I can think of
top of castle, the left building thing near the entrance
the bridge
Maybe I'm seeing the game in a linear way
And don't think of using difference high grounds
seems like my positioning is not dynamic
balmy wolf
i dont have too much time to go over it but in general the most space you have the more advantage you have. when on high ground USUALLY you can command more space. sometimes like eich second point you actually command less space when on high ground
for example numbani first point high ground is almost always the deciding point between winning and losing a team fight as opposed to 2nd point it being just as useful as holding below
karmic grotto
A question: if I add save pressure with the space I claim (which I have been applying since you told me that thing about a good Winston), do I really need to trust my teammates? as Winston I feel like I don't add much control, nor damage
tickle damage winston has
and if his bubble gets broken, he's so vulnerable
how are contenders/owl winston so confident when they know it will happen?
For me, I have difficulty attacking much space/high ground position when I play Winston
balmy wolf
so as weird as it sounds i am being 100% completely genuinely honest
the main tank dictates singlehandedly the space his team has
the contenders and owl winstons know where to position and who to zap to force enemies to retreat/focus him
jagged crater
you were coaching harb when he was in chicken contendies?
jagged crater
his hero pool is not ideal, guess the meta just has to favor his hog/zarya some point
jagged crater
he was a soldier player in tf2, he could maybe do it
balmy wolf
his pharah v pharah is genuinely owl tier and that skill is testamount to amazing pharas atm
idle beacon
lol wtf
karmic grotto
@balmy wolf This is exactly why main tank is the hardest carry, hardest role to learn... and the maps where I heavily lost, was because I had no ** idea how to create space or claiming space
balmy wolf
main tank is the only role i genuinely cannot play in gm
karmic grotto
Even though if I watch the replay, I still wouldn't know what to do
which is for a reason I have an alt account to practice those things
But I'm learning slowly how to play Winston as character, hopefully we will see more Winston plays in stage 4
jagged crater
cannot play because too infuriating to play?
karmic grotto
what you mean
jagged crater
main tanks often the most unfun role due to the amount of brunt CC he has to take
and how important his role is means you gotta not make mistakes otherwise you get called out for being shit
the ladder experience at least
balmy wolf
Tanks are also the most misunderstood role
Legit I think below diamond you have no idea when you should play what tank
And at diamond you are learning how to play them effectively
karmic grotto
how you mean at diamond
no player gets to diamond without learning how to play a specific role
pearl stratus
Yes they do.
karmic grotto
then how did those people climb?
pearl stratus
Because in those situations they're often not punished much for simple mistakes that will get recognized later on. For instance positioning:
Positioning doesn't typically get punished at all from Bronze to Masters, I would say. You can get away with a lot of stupid shit.
And someone who is mechanically gifted, going unpunished, can still influence a game.
Even though they're doing many many things wrong.
balmy wolf
@jagged crater cannot play as in too hard to play
balmy wolf
I am very very comfortable in stating that in losses in < diamond games, it almost is always the fault of the tank/support
pearl stratus
It's why I tend to dislike Winstons at lower SR.
Because I think of all the tanks his positioning and decision making is the most impactful both to his survival, and the teams benefit.
So when your Winston yeets himself off to Narnia after a Widow he usually gives up every inch of space he attempted to create by solving the problem incorrectly.
balmy wolf
There was a poll a while ago amonst pro players regarding whos the hardest to play
a couple said winston, most said tracer
jagged crater
wonston
pearl stratus
Oh, of all heroes. I thought it was just going to be tanks, hah.
balmy wolf
im fine with either choices
jagged crater
did anyone say mercy
balmy wolf
lol no
pearl stratus
Tracer makes sense because she's high impact when played to the extremes. When not played to extremes you get Season 1 Jake and Linkzr.
pearl stratus
I'd personally probably say Winston though, mostly because the concept of building space requires a different brain.
And not one I have.
jagged crater
when i play rein it's like i hold shield and press W, good enough 😃
balmy wolf
How long should players warm up before going into ladder and how should they warm up?
Like genuinely how do you warm up dva play

balmy wolf

Dont quote me but like pretty sure each elo has a different opinion
So its almost impossible to please the ow community
balmy wolf
but most can agree that role lock would be better, not perfect, but better than the current state of the game rn
trim shadow
Role lock would push the game forward by a small margin
honestly if i was jeff..dump heros into the game worry bout balance after the fact
Thats probably why ill suck at leading a developer team
balmy wolf
at least it would lead to a framework for the how the game should be played

Hell goats is a recycled comp

Can someone explain the exclusive skins by watching the League? I tried reading online about it but it doesnt make any sense.
I linked my Blizzard and Twitch accounts, but I dont know what I'm supposed to do to unlock the special skins, let alone when those skins are available, becauze I couldnt find something that would just tell me the dates and how to get the skins
gaunt acorn
@misty blaze if your blizzard account is linked to your twitch, you gain tokens for viewing live matches
3 tokens per hour watched, specifically
you can then spend tokens in-game under the 'overwatch league' tab
either on team skins, or exclusive time-limited skins like the jjonak mvp one
misty blaze
Is that where that All-Star Mercy skin was from
rapid vault
He means the OWL only skins i think
gaunt acorn
@misty blaze yes
rapid vault
Oh nvm
sullen berry
Oh you mean where it says cheer bits?
gaunt acorn
no, obi
misty blaze
I know there are the OWL home and away skins but I'm trying to get the fancy ones like that All Star Mercy one, becauze I was heated I missed out on that one
gaunt acorn
they're accessible from the same tab, as i mentioned
but mvp skins, all star skins, etc. are all time-limited exclusives
so you missed the window on the mercy skin
sullen berry
Yeah all stars are limited edition, but it will come back eventually
rapid vault
How do u get the OWL skins where its like a team skin but it just says OWL on it and its grey and orange
gaunt acorn
@rapid vault those were available last year
misty blaze
I was mad I missed it.
Theres also that Ana skin that she looks like a Sphyx Cat (?) And I missed that too
gaunt acorn
but aren't any longer
rapid vault
U couldnr buy them right
gaunt acorn
@misty blaze the ana bastet skin was a separate promotion -- you could unlock that by winning 9 games during the 'event'
rapid vault
U had to watch streams or something
gaunt acorn
@rapid vault they were earned by cheering bits on twitch, not watching
misty blaze
Dammittt
sullen berry
Oh now we're talking about the mini event skins like the nano cola challenge

What are cheering bits
misty blaze
:|
gaunt acorn
so to cheer enough bits to have unlocked the grey owl skins last year, it would've costed $30+
misty blaze
Yikes
sullen berry
But those haven't been brought back, so there you go for OWL exclusives from Twitch
misty blaze
So, still using that AS mercy skin as an example (becauze it's the only example I have)
You said its under the OWL tab, but does it cost 200 like the other skins, or is it more?
gaunt acorn
the time-limited skins always cost 200 tokens
right now the zenyatta skin is still available for purchase
for like a day or two longer

I saw that one, kind of uh

@misty blaze https://overwatchleague.com/en-us/news/21497938/watch-overwatch-league-get-league-tokens
scroll down to 'how to participate'
there's a section for consoles
misty blaze
Alright I think I got it.
My twitch and Blizzard account are all linked with all my accounts so everything be squared away hopefully
Does overwatch have an Event calendar for events like the Baptiste Reunion or are they just surprises
gaunt acorn
surprises
misty blaze
-_-
Alright.
My wifi has been about dead recently so it's not even staying connected regardless.
Do they tell you when things like the All Star comes up, or is that under the surprise category too
gaunt acorn
@misty blaze all-stars are a scheduled overwatch league event
we knew of its date months prior, and it's a yearly occurance
gaunt acorn
provided nothing changes again schedule-wise within the league, it should take place in may (2020)

kephrii for owl?
balmy wolf
im not gonna say who theyre trying out for
jagged crater
would boostio be a better kephrii
balmy wolf
this is the main support boostio
jagged crater
omg
balmy wolf
LOL
jagged crater
i was wondering what took so long for there to be a support main called boostio
is this 222 thing confirmed
little silo
my guess is iostux academy
balmy wolf
i dont work only with iostux
im usually analyst for a few teams
he was just there lol
and 2/2/2 isn't actually officially confirmed
trim shadow
It kinda was..by like..multiple sources
But we need loke
Owl and blizz themselves to say yea
jagged crater
rip quickplay 5 dps comps
echo quest
I think it’s for owl only
trim shadow
more then likely itll make its move to everyday players
but i think itll go to owl for pro testing
balmy wolf
@mint turtle i forgot if i answered you or not but i was just here and saw the message

stage 4 has no playoff what?
and instead we get the kitkat ravalry weekend between random team?
while the homestand is going on?
im so confused
severe junco
Kit Kat Rivalry Weekend IS the homestand
also
no need for stage 4 playoffs, the grand finals are directly afterwards
tawny sigil
then that person did a very bad job at explaining what kitkat ravalry is cause now im even more confused
wtf is so special about it
severe junco
nothing
it's the LA Valiant Homestand
It just happens to feature Rivalry Matchups
Shock v Titans, LA v LA, etc
tawny sigil
ok
tawny sigil
so its just a normal schedule'd day with the brand kitkat attached to it
i thought it was a small event, turns out to be just a stupid brand insert with no thought behind it... why am i surprised
tropic herald
Only like two games are rivalries I guess you could consider a few others as well
severe junco
you've got: the rerun of Uprising vs NYXL which was a close match last time
Shock V Titans, the playoff giants
dunno what fuel v reign's about
LA v LA, that's a home ground rivalry match
Hangzhou v Shanghai, battle of the Chinese powerhouses
Reign v uprising, who knows
NYXL v Titans, the playoff runback
and shock v valiant
again, who knows
there is some actual rivalry matches going on there
upper niche
When they ran the Stage 4 finals last year the teams treated it as a great big joke. NYXL used it as practice, Gladiators went "nah, we're gonna pick the hardest team to play against cos it's better for the fans" etc... all knowing it didn't mean anything for the finals.
tawny sigil
but they get some money though
but yeah if they treated it as a joke then i guess its pointless
then owl is like "oh yeah you guys wanna treat 100k as a joke, then no more extra 100k for u
little silo
The Valiant homestand might just be the best Overwatch we will see in the entire regular season
tawny sigil
every week is LA homestand... come on
karmic grotto
lmao
I am interested in how Atlanta will do it in a theatre
how many seats sold out?
little silo
It probably wont be nearly as good as the Dallas homestand
little silo
from a crowd standpoint
little silo
They only sold 4 seats but then they announced that Dafran would come and then they sold out
trim shadow
U underestimate atlanta sports fans
little silo
idk anything about atlanta sports fans
little silo
But Dallas had a huge arena that was filled to the brim
trim shadow
then dafran sold em out
little silo
yes that was the joke ty
i wonder how it will compare to the crowd in France during the WC
Because that crowd was insane
hope it will be similar or even better
trim shadow
Probably not as insane
But will definetly be better then dallas
Cause atlanta is better then dallas
At everything
Food people@culture teams
little silo
Dallas was pretty good so this should be good
Just sucks that both homestands dont have any matchups that are good on paper
trim shadow
That ill give y
little silo
So the hometeams will stand out way more which is somewhat good
little silo
Atlanta coming on stage will be nice
the only somewhat interesting matchup might be Fusion vs Shanghai (if both play some dps)
In a Goats matchup Fusion are getting destroyed
trim shadow
There will be a riot when my boys come on stage
little silo
are atlanta fans that intense
i expected the houston fans to murder half of the arena last homestand
But they were fairly tame (I think)
crimson finch
hey! i’ve pretty much only just found out about the league and was hoping someone would be so kind as to guide me and inform me of what it is, who they are
little silo
i used to watch the NHL back when I was playing hockey but other than that Im unfamiliar with american sports fans
Im just gonna imagine the worst fans that Ive ever seen (England in the football WC) and expect that from Atlanta
wait are atlanta fans nuts in a good or bad way
The England comparison should work both ways so I'll just expect that
