the lucio that never dies
Amano has undying like ark but also gets kills
I think Diem is the best widow atm and if we moved to a widow meta SHD would be in a pretty good place
gonna be fun to see striker on it
yeah, a Widow meta would help out Philly and London a fair bit tho
tho happy is no slouch on widow either
Do Titans have a widow player?
I don’t think they are
what does Hooreg play?
plays dps
He played for Spitfire last year
ik he's dps, I meant like which heroes
I thought he was projectile???
imagine saying hooreg is a flex support
Idk I get people mixed up
hooreg does play pharah
haksal is projectile
where is sfs? 😄
quaterfinals kdskdks
probably wont make it out of the first round
if Seoul goes hard with Sombra play, Shock is out round 1
but titans dps lineup is meta proof for the most part
Titans dps are good but def not top 3 good imo
what?
looks at vancouver's dps
haksal hooreg stitch and seominsoo
hmm average
haksal's genji is as legendary as shadowburns
stitch is just a semi flex good
expect they contended with the best when dps was a thing
They wouldn't be as strong/unbeatable but they'd still be a top 3 team
as in they either beat them or went 2nd place
they already proved themselves in apex 2 times already
They’ve proven to be really good once a meta has been settled but they always fall off a little when the meta changes
a little
A little is a lot in OWL
and they already change their lineup to compensate for that
well at this point I doubt we'll see them get dethroned from their #1 placement
ik that doesn't = strength but it still means something
imo the only team that could take #1 from them rn is NYXL
Well yeah they very likely will keep overall #1 seed
If last years playoffs taught me anything
shock can take it if they have good 4-0 the majority of their matches, they have a higher map differential than NY
The finals will be something crazy like Spark v Reign
Titans would have to lose like 4 matches
stage 4 is gonna be weird if role lock is a thing
At least goats was fun to play
bunker is most likely gonna be the meta
Thanks I hate it
Bunker is only meta bc lack of coordination
vancouver no matter what they doo will never fall below top 6 for post season
they have a
53
map differential
thats insane
In OWL there is at least some coordination so hopefully very little to no bunker
Probably dive
I doubt they're even gonna leave #1
At most I see them dropping to #2
really cool to see how the top 3 team in the league have such a insane map differential difference with teams below them
I think MonteCristo has kinda accurate power rankings
PS4 anyone?
#lfg-console-ranked @drowsy fjord
is that rumour about the 2-2-2 lock true?
¯_(ツ)_/¯
blizzard hasn't confirmed it yet
but there's a pretty good chance it could be tru
Haksal is insane
if it really should happen, we'll see alot of benching and benched coming back
But stitch is a level below someone like carpe on hitscan
what
has carpe ever played a soldier before?
Probably
Thank mr logix
?
Logix has a really nice widow
Genji mcree meta pwease
Just realized ther is a ton of really good widows in OWL
oh yea, i've read that he's making a comeback
but can't remember for what team
Damn htp went from legit bronze to contenders? That's nutty
Logix got signed to Toronto
maybe we'll also see a tviq comeback 😃
God i hope
But sign/trade window just closed
His widow has been holding up against just about every other widow he’s faced
Upcoming for OWL
the problem with mcree is that he needs a bunch of resources to be kept alive
@tropic herald tviq ?
ah ok
Logix has been getting lots of 3ks and more
@scarlet tinsel so you mean the cree buff which is live for us non-owl players?
Sucks that Toronto is a mixed roster
I don’t think it would work for them
it might
It’s not a worthwhile investment anyways
probs gonna drop im37
To get other players idk
Honestly I’m kinda surprised that water hasn’t been signed yet
or Florida might pick him up idk
Logix got an offer from Washington for s2 he turned it down
Since they didn’t offer enough
well least logix grinda out his zarya in contenders
Logix is pretty valuable bc he has a nice widow and Zarya
but at least logix got on a better org than mayhem
Toronto has potential they just need to build synergy
Love seeing tracer players getting nutty at widow
Paris is just not good
Parii
They represent EU but they don’t even have the best EU players
2-2-2 lock could bring SDB and SoOn back
Soon would be the widow
Paris has a lacking tank line
Every team gonna need a dedi widow player
Which team had the weakest widow rn?
Fragi4Paris
Hard to say
No team off the top of my head
widows would look worse with bad team coordination
Even the bottom teams got good widows
yeah, bottom 3 have Saya, Corey, and Logix
As of now SFS don’t have a dedicated widow that we have seen
Who
Striker
We haven’t seen striker play
Everyone been talking about how much striker has been grinding widow
Architect is a projectile
pretty sure Architect is projectile
Architect could.play widow tho
he is a flex
He played widow when genji was bad
Yeah Striker has been grinding but we have not seen his Widow this year
so Architect is a good Zacharee?
Architect is really really good
He just happens to be in the roster with 4 amazing dps
SFS was bad last year
Architect was a bright spot on sfs last yr
they were mediocre last year
They were building for he future
But they said screw it and signed a bunch of Koreans
And now they good
i mean super, sintraa, those 2 were the future
starting to slip a bit tho
goo
moth is a supp, right?
but yea shock roster is one the most stacked I've seen
It’s stacked and they have giant egos now lol
half of them are top 5 in their roles
their egos is why I don't really like the team
They are all Top 5
Shock would be good if they would pop their egos and grind that’s why hey were so good in Stage 2
Florida is doing a sfs think about it
The Shock are good?
Florida PepeLaugh
doesn't help that Super tilts really fuckin easy
Florida top 5 next year ill have a heart attack
sinatraa isn't one of those egos ?
Its a extrememly long off season so
I dont think florida will ever be good even with a good roster
@tropic herald
I mean they fuck over the misfits roster in season 1
@idle beacon
and that roster was pretty pog in EU
super and sinatraa played last year and didnt help much
Super especially
@tropic herald what egos r u talkin about 😃
more shock had time to develop their goats and meta became the best thing
Sinatraa didnt come in till this year wym?
Florida should become Miami
I’d say Sinatraa and Super can both get pretty full of themselves
Florida probably wanted to represent all of florida
daddy dhak
florida wanted to be Miami at first
Florida is not a good state to represent
but they couldn't for whatever reason
flo-rida
Miami mayhem rolls off the tongue better
Miami Mayhem sounds so much better
Yah
And Miami is actually mayhem
god I hope they can change their name
miami muppets
i think mayhem is pushing to change their colors
to fit the miami vice colors
but they have to wait until next yr
Green and Orange?
pink, blue, black
Oh
neon colors
an edgy Spark
look at their alternate jersey for better reference
80s colors?
It’d be cool to have maybe 5 more expansion teams
miami metro PD
basically that gif
iirc there's no new teams for Season 3
^
i want a 5vs5 mode
There is a bunch of Contenders talent that could be in OWL
Also rip Harb for getting dropped
harb should learn dva
think he just plain doesnt like the hero
He has a good pool
well thats what holding him back
hog is in his blood
he needs a good dva if hes a off tank player
I think Dva is falling off
it wont fall over in winston meta's
wonston
if dva falls of
the thing with dva is that shes the only real off tank in the game
what will poko be up to then?
playing off tank
Who do you think would pick up Water?
poko has a good zarya
Sinatraa
uk since immortals bought houston i wonder if theyre gonna rebrand houston
like..the new parent company or what not
whoever buys houston
Doesn’t immortals own another team?
la valiant
sfs got some nutty dps, they could cover all dps
oh definitely
But they kicked babybay and danteh away:(
(I'm sure danteh is in a better team now)
babybay has a chance to play too so good for him right?
danteh and babybay actually has the chance to play so, i guess it's better
also they kind of kicked sleepy too for viol2t
Understandable but feelsbadman
what's a team that needs a a good dva
or isn't nevix a flex
nevix is an extreme flex
Architect forgotten
can practically play every role in the game
FU vs 02 blast let’s go dude
It's the teams outside of top 10 that needs support
Team USA should be Corey,Danteh,FCT,Space,Moth and Sleepy
Blase as the7th man
QuarterFinals ez clap
Forreal tho China and SK will smirk any team
Guxue,Elsa,Krystal,Leave,Coldest and yvelta
Haha no sintraa?
I would expect him to be in
There's no brig player too
No projectile
everyone lost fate in sinatraa since sombra goats started to be prominent
those pepega emp though
Super might be a better choice bc he has pre existing synergy with more players in that roster
Sinatraa probably wouldn’t be picked unless Zarya stays meta
And I’ve thought that KSF might get a spot over Corey let’s see what Aero chooses
Hopefully not Zach
how the hell did washington justice get 4 draw in 1 stage
that is the first time that ever happened including season 1 and season 1 had 10 match stage
not sure what that means about the justice
draws should be an indication of close match shouldn't it?
Or an ability to throw away what should have been a won map
i guess
yall what if shanghai wins
also where did you get the quality of that stream?
because if it's the NA contenders channel it's just the restream of the korean broadcast
hence the quality drop
Quality in Contenders has been weird today but its good rn
actually scratch that the bitrate is low
O2 Blast are falling apart rn my god
Ok they made an insane comeback on point A
Flex support in pro Overwatch has so many insane players. Maybe the role with the highest average talent
Myunbong is nutty
The Shock are better than the Mayhem, honestly
I dont understand, who are you talking to that thought otherwise
Paris Eternal
@hidden vault brig is complete ass outside of goats
No need for Sinatraa
Blase is a flex
I think blase is better than hydration rn
Paris Eternal
Then hydration can play for Brazil instead!
Blase and Hydration have basically the same pool but Blasé comes in clutch
Paris Wtwrnal
Houston Putlpws
so role lock is confirmed for stage 4?
or is blizzard guides reporting old news and just saying its confirmed
using fissure as a confirm button
pretty sure fissure was just fucking around
Guess we will find out in Stage 4
no blizzard representative or official has confirmed it
They also could have backed away from it, seeing how the league is playing now.

Sounds like hes sticking to nates pathway for home markets next season
@analog flint baited
I miss Nate's smokey voice
Aka kids esports
epic's paying the money, doesn't matter
as much of not an esport it is, you gotta respect the prize pool
pft, per month eh?
@Mangachu_ I, dafran, hereby 100% fully acknowledge u, Mangachu, as the Alpha Torbjorn and me being drunk is NOT an excuse. Kneel before the lord of the 🔨
Did dafran lose to mangachu in the torb fight?
Isn't Pete Vlastelica the guy everyone hates in Bilzzard? He favours traditional media?
yuuuuuup
Is it any surprise he appointed himself to the position? It reeks of "Everyone else has these ideas that I don't like... and since noone else is putting up ideas I agree with, I'll do it myself".
Owl doomed?
Nah
If Mano isn’t a top 5 candidate for mvp there is something seriously wrong with the voting
Mano deserves mvp
why is zacharee so shit at everything he lays
Jjonak again
Aero is here to protect him
ik
he is a biased piece of work
just promoted him cause of fusion university
aero is shit now that they hype is gone
Usa world cup 2018 omegalul
Team USA could be pretty good this year Aero just needs to pick the right players

Oh man I'm so hyped to see Canada in OWWC
I'm so hyped to see Vancouver
And even when zach gets on his heros hes mediocre
canada is gonne be the same team for the last 2 yrs
taimou for team usa
Yes
canada wasn't the same team 2 years in a row
Nah, now there's two expansion Canadian teams
Canada will probably be the exact same roster
Whens owwc again?
november -- blizzcon
owl ends in like a month and a half
@proven saddle Other than Mangachu no one in the Canadian teams can rep Canada
no, you're thinking of the qualifiers
Well regular season ends in a month
those are sooner
Then you have play ins
I know it was a joke
Post season
Oh
SK has so many options rn
world cup qualifiers are coming up soon then the actual event is in november
It's so weird, because we were used to South Korea roster to be NYXL + carpe
But now they have Titans and dragons players too
Sk could like
Go vancouver new york
Or vancouver and some big names around the leauge
Jjonak is like guranteed as always
keep in mind crusty is the head coach for team sk
Unless jjonak doesnt want todo it
we may see choi
Wait crusty is kr?
Idk, Vancouver and New York seems incompatible
I thought crusty was a american

Theyll do a mix of the rosters
Like mano jjonak sbb Slime Seominsoo stitch etc
Something like that
keep in mind world cup will almost certainly be 2-2-2 locked
Bumper for sk would shock meo
so it may take some time to determine the front-runners in such a scenario
Then in 222 bumper will never make it
Unless tizi comes in and steals his starting position and pops off
i believe mano will be the main tank pick
Theres like no other mt i know of that will get in over mano
sk is also trialing non-owl talent
The thing is why would you run bumper without jjanu and SMS?
so there is a chance the roster may not be purely owl
i can't speak for the likelihood of that occuring
but it remains a possibility nonetheless
Are wc teams allowed to have subs
team sk can afford to play hyper aggressive, if we're being honest
There's also flow3r 👀
They could
Then bumper could be a back up
Me neither
i think the sub (for every team) will almost certainly be a dps player
not a main tank
The sub is almost always a Hit scan Dps
Like I said NYXL + carpe
But they don't really need another hitscan having both pine and flower benched
i don't see nyxl + carpe being the final roster this year
there are better subs for dps than pine or flower
we're talking the entirety of south korea here
Mano and Fury would make a pretty good tank line
@gaunt acorn nah, me neither because right now there are better hitscan options than carpe
@tropic herald that would be cool
Mano is guaranteed
But I’m trying to think of all the flex tanks
And Fury seems like the best
What other Korean flex tanks are there?
for a moment, consider
in 2-2-2 lock, flex tanks won't be nearly as necessary
it'll revert to winston + d.va for the most part, i'd wager
They are still a “flex” tank though
South korean hitscan have carpe, diem, nenne, fleta, flower and pine and more
Well if that’s the case the tank line is for sure Mano and Fury
Yeah
his zarya is less impressive, but as mentioned, that may not be as relevant by blizzcon
Well idk Zarya will always be relevant on a few maps
Arriving to Kings row
I’d be happy if Diem got on SK
i don't think zarya won't get played at all
Not for his Zarya
she'll just be in a similar situation to dive era
His Widow 🥵
i don't think that's straightforward
Maaaaybe Slims
what if kariv remains consistent
Well see
what if so many other things
But right now
i don't think any position is guaranteed except perhaps main tank
Anamo Jjonak seems so reasonable
and even then, things may change
who is more indecisive than fissure? nobody
Dafran unretires 
Fissure said he might unretire too
they probably would have to throw decay money at dafran to get him to unretire
Jehong is probably rank 1 MT ur right
i seriously wanna see what he was made off in a dps meta
dafran doesnt seem like the person to do something just because of money
definitely not
Kariv is pog but no way he gets the spot
it's hard to make accurate predictions about a meta we know little about
is viol2t's ana good
Why is it support flex and not off support?
It’s the same thing
Leave is the best player not in OWL don’t @ me
Doesn’t play pro OW for a year and destroys during the World Cup
Yo
I don’t if y’all heard but the Outlaws are taking the W this week against Vanny.
i don't know if you heard but you are very very wrong
Nah they will stomped
let him dream
Guxue will dunk on LaV again
It’s literally the same thing lmaooooo l
No
Yes it is
As far as I know there are only main tanks (Hammond, orisa, Winston, rein) and offtanks (hog, dva, zarya) idk what makes different an offtank and a flextank
A flex tank means you can play anything that it's a tank
And flex means you can play any role and most heroes
off tank defines heroes, flex tank defines players
Leave 
who
Agilities
okay thanks
thought Agill was someone else
T1W.GZA
and Meta Gaming
if you don't see it
you'll miss how Guangzhou has two core pools of talent they can pick from
and that's probably how they'll depend on talent that won't be as competitive for buyout in contenders
Guangzhou Charge has 2 academy teams?
Am I wrong LOL
Oh wait GZ academy is currently inactive
Who is Hangzhous sombra?
GodsB
What are the mainnhealers
Like that hero's
Also what role is the most sought after in the pro scene currently
Mercy lucio and moira
most sought after.. off support gets the most praise / has the most impact right now
what do teams want? Probably flex dps
main tanks specifically able to ball / orisa
no MTs in general
Did the seoul dynasty have alt jerseys?
No
Smh
And doesn't ria do some sombra?
You see I hate the term main healer cause it isn’t an apt descriptor
Ppl told me it was lucio and mercy cause those are the most run hence why they are considered main healers
main healers are considered the healers who will give the most amount of healing.
I think most people agree witht his
But I think, myself included, a lot of people hear main healer and think “of their primary job is to mainly heal”
A lot of ppl think that but a lot of ppl constantly go “main heals is lucio and mercy” which isn’t telling anymore
It’s often why instead I go primary healer and off healers instead of main and flex
i have never heard anyone say that lucio is a main healer.
I have heard a shit ton of ppl who talk about esports in the highest scene call lucio and mercy main healers. On ladder it’s entirely different since they call moira, ana, and baptiste main healers due to pure healing numbers
Main healer =/= main support
whats the difference between main healer and main support?
I’ll let @forest raven take that question
AFAIR main healer are the heroes that output the highest amount of healing, main support are the players that generally always play a support hero i.e. lucio, mercy
The entire category of main healer needs to be updated in my opinion since it is a very common misconception among the general player base
That's why in the pro context the players that play ana/zen/moira are called flex/off supports because they don't play healers exclusively
i.e. flexing to dps in dps heavy comps or roadhog in double sniper
Keep in mind language means a lot here
Korean players use different wording then the west
main tank = main tanker for instance
there was also something about supports that confused the heck out of people which i could not quite remember what it was
EZ
main tank makes space, off tanks deal with individual threats
Orisa can do both lmao

Can't wait for the outlaws to not get a single win in tge playoffs
Cant wait for new york vs SFshock
Sounds like something someone with a super pfp would say
aaaaa
four days left and i only have like 87 league tokens i dont think i can get zenyatta skin
Yea u wont
Better shell out some cash otherwise you might never get it
@worthy pilot youre a coach and youve never heard of lucio being a main healer??
hes been considered a main healer since the beta tournaments, in every single remotely high level ranked game the mercy player flexes to lucio bc its the same role, any t3+ team main support player plays both lucio and mercy
Main Support: Mercy/Lucio
Flex Support: Everyone else
This is VERY basic knowledge, like seriously since before overwatch even launched knowledge
the commonality between Lucio and mercy being that their kits aren't as mechanics heavy as the others and that where they're positioned during a fight allows them to get a good read on all 12 pieces of the board
I don’t think Lucio is a main healer but he is for sure a main support
brooooo
there's going to be a meet and greet for jjonak and mano and you bet your fucking asses I'm going
Main supports are also shot callers
Most of the time
Youll see lucio’s positioned far ahead to gain intel/ to get boops
@balmy wolf Well i guess, however this knowledge doesnt really seem useful to me 🤷
I didnt know that people thought that a main support are mercy/lucio, i thought main support was the same as main healers, but that isnt the case.
the coach doesnt know what roles are?
But again. Why do i have to care about what healer is played the most?
coaches lol
Boop would like a word with that definition.
Main Support = Lucio/Mercy
Flex Support = Everyone else
Hitscan = Hitscans
Flex DPS = Everyone else
Main Tank = Ball/Winston/Rein/Orisa
Off Tank = Everyone else
Why I have to tell this to a coach is beyond me
@balmy wolf I dont think you understand.
Usually OT, its rare that the DPS is the Sombra unless you have a bad overlap of heroes.
Shock being one of the exceptions where Choi needed time to grind Zarya so that Sinatraa could play both depending on 3:3 or 3:2:1.
In fairness I think part of that was because Coolmatt is useless.
And originally neither Linkzr or Jake played Zarya well.
It was like Tracer all over again.
folks
they had spree and didnt even play him on zarya cuz he wasnt flexible enough
Switch_OW
whats happening there
a lot
i played against him
blatant cheater
his org is backing him
lmaoi ye
the twitter of barah
sso obvious
some guy was saying its just a DC?
Spree and Coolmatt both are clear 'This is what we're playing' people on Houston, so it runs into walls imo.
It's like if Dragons put in Geguri.
Wait what happened
You know you're getting a D'va
Who do you guys think will be top 5 in the mvp selection?
we gonna see a return of the specialists in 222
to be fair geguri is solid on dva
Sinatraa, mano, jjonak, guxue, and probably Someone from vancouver
She is, I'm more just saying its telegraphed since she's not playing much else
Personally i think mano deserves mvp
If it would be anyone from Vancouver
2 OWL dps players on your team, low GM player instalocks dps 🤔
Twilight or jjanu
@balmy wolf 1. I Do know all the roles
@queen drift 2. The list is wrong Healers are categorize not by the amount of players by they are played. Its supposed to be like this
Main healer = Ana/moira/Mercy (baptiste)
Off healer = Everyone else
Hitscan = Hitscans
Flex DPS = Everyone else
Main Tank = Ball/Winston/Rein/Orisa
Off Tank = Everyone else
@jagged crater whats this about?
Easily hands down the best players I’ve seen on vancouver
You dont categorize tanks or dps the how many players they are played. So why would you do that then for healers? Your not wrong with the off/main support thingy, however you dont put that in the same list as with the dps/tanks.
just random comp games ive seen
What the hell T7 type of garbage bullshit do you play in with that list.
@worthy pilot who categorized it by amount played?
its not supposed to be like that
how are you a coach???
I remember a master player that shit talked zunba and once he found it was him went quiet real quick
Leggo could you explain then what main support means? i am really confused
i remember that
i think that this is just a giant misconception
Legoo@you forgot about projectile@and hitscan
Haksal being toxic is entertaining lmao
Ana in paladins would be a main support..but in certain comps shes switched for zen who is 100% flex
are we categorizing heroes or players?
No he didn't Hitscan = Hitscan, Flex = Everyone else.
Widow soldier tracer genji hanzo
how is this guy a coach lol
back when tracer was dominant, she had her own category: tracer
Cancer*
Smallest hitbox in any game
Blinking everywhere
Could delete supports in 1 volley
Thats called flanker
Check out Hakasal loses his mind https://clips.twitch.tv/GoldenYawningFoxDoubleRainbow
@worthy pilot main supports generally take more macro IGL leads
generally need less aim so they can shotcall more
if we categorizing players, there was no "flanking" role, just tracer
i feel bad for the people in this server who want coaching lmao
Lucky for you paladins has a flank role
But u fortunately there off meta
Well a good chunk outside of 2 of them
are you tellin me paladins is the better game
Does paladins still have players?
it does
Ive been saying paladins is the better game since existent
yeah some players
Its not
Funded well like blizzard
But it makes hero shooter work
Where as overwatch is a fps
Paladins is nice if you have downs syndrome or FAS.
goats turned overwatch into a moba game
lmao
Yeet
Leggo i am kinda tired so. Your right. I am wrong. Someone else today did say that main support were the healers that were played 90% of the time so that the reason i said that the list was done.
I know I am
Now that goats is kinda fading away its back to who can carry harder
I just wish corey was carpe
people like to talk about how widow does not belong in OW
a lot of people
a lot of people
A LOT
I mean I argue that in any game of an fps nature one shots are stupid, and shouldn't exist.
But not widow specifically.
Just the concept of a one shot mechanic.
like everytime she comes up
really depends on the ttk of an fps
we took a poll in some contenders teams about which hero people would want removed
there's someone or several people that go "ugh why is she here"
a low ttk fps, one shot kills are fine
brig, widow, and sombra were up there
Ppl who dont want the game dominated by a single player
Low TTK FPS shouldn't have that much mobility.
One shot mechanic laughs in leauge of legends
call of duty and csgo for example, one shot kill weapons are perfectly fine
It's why a comparison between TF2 Sniper and Widow never works.
Sombra makes playing tanks depressing lmao
Also arguably not in CSGO. The AWP is still the most whined abotu thing since 2002.
i mean there was a long debate whether AWP needed to exist
the AWP was actually nerfed at one point in cs 1.6
pre-1.6, when it used to one shot the legs
Theyve nerfed the awp tho
It used to one shot anything.
Its harder to strafe shot
CSGO awp is actually worse than its older counterparts because of the accuracy and strafe nerfs
Im using csgo as a way to train my ana play
people still complain about it
People will always complain about a one shot mechanic.
even a headshot?
In most situations its just bad development.
Headshots are designed to be triple damage
😦
My argument with Widow is (not that I think she needs to be removed) but that the general drawback of the one shot mechanic is typically mobility/speed, etc.
And while her grapple cooldown was removed, she's still insanely mobile.
Its like lettinf the community make the character
the grapple cooldown reduction was a bad idea, i agree
^
I wouldnt mind as long as she needs to actually charge up to 100% to one shot ppl
Also in a pure hitscan she removes some of the other mechanics that balance.
That was a argument wayy back then
Like in CoD you have to do the breathing control along with the aim.
And blizzard was looking at it
That wouldn't fit in OW, at all.
so as a hero she receives very limited drawbacks compared to the benefits of a one shot kill.
And while CSGO/CoD etc doesn't have a jumping monkey or a mech to fuck with you, both of those do get handled decently well.
didnt CoD have that futuristic jetpack and wallrunning phase
The only nerf I would think for widow is literally just her needing to charge 100% for her to kill ppl via headshot. I think thats more fair
Yes
It was stupid
And gay
Good thinf they reveryed
But cod still plays like a hero shooter
It was shitty titanfall was more the problem.
If they had done it well it would have been fine.
Titanfall handled that movement very well.
Titanfall is underrated but then again It was cancer
CoD handled it like a drunk cow given anti-grav boots
widow needing to charge 100% to kill a 200hp target would prob kill her tbh
im fine with the ~60% charge to kill 200hp, just reduce her mobility
For me its mostly her mobility. The cooldown on grapple is still short enough you can juke a lot of bullshit.
same thing for hanzo, he didnt need the 4-5s leap
blizz just randomly mobility buffed the two snipers
My gripe with Hanzo is the arrow hit box.
Any flex support lucios in chat?
I know they fixed it once, but its still bulky.
Hanzo kills never feel earned
I literally play him and get a 4k every match and it never feels good or earned
Any bap main supports in chat
Beyond that Hanzo is fine, his ult is meh the new storm arrow is nice.
Any ana main supports in chat
Yo
yes
Ana support here
bring back scatter >:)
Fuck u
Toesrrows.
i miss watching wraxu own , you dont see him playing anymore since the hanzo change
WRAXU 
All tanks and supports but mostly tanks
then work towards hero bans over this 2/2/2 Fetal alcohol syndrome plan.
you could watch arrge. Same level of play, better personality
tho i dont really watch him, only highlights of him
its a meme at this point
cant watch everyone!
arrge doesnt go for the headshot, he goes for the FreshNuts
No watch me I'm better than ml7
I doubt that with every fiber of my being
🤔
surprisingly good OWL personality? stratus
funny guy
first time watched his stream, he was great
Idk I slept pro genjis man
agreed, he's great
I'm basically a pro
i'd also watch fusions whenever get a chance. Great comms
I like Custa because I beat him in Smash when it came out.
Custa in general strikes me as a really good dude
I loved meeting him and space at the dallas homestead
he drinks soylent, that's a plus in my book
he also has his own news show
yea custa good, ever since i first saw him on fnatic
sounds a problem with a lot of people!
damn skill, get better!
just obtain more skill 4head
I really do hate that the only counters to a genji nano blade is to be so absurdly good with Ana to sleep him or for a sombra to hack him or to essentially waste an ult to negate him
Assuming it hits
Grav is a hard ult to trade out but you kinda have to cause no support ult saves you from it without a little addition on top of that in ladder
Theres so many counters to genji lol
Unless he hard focuses you. 180 dmg i think per nano blade swipe isnt enough for trans without some people peeling for the other
It is if he slash dashes
he would have to slash dash quick to one shot 200hp
