what damage has he done?

sullen berry
#

at least in blizzard's eyes, this video was a conversation starter. You've probably heard about it in some form at the end of season 1

#

it wasn't clickbait - that's currently the highest most viewed video explaining how the game wasn't fun anymore

#

now video was good to let this all out

#

but it was spread like wildfire across media

#

tl;dw brigitte changes and crowd control, community toxicity and the precedent of our favourite meta GOATs

true hound
#

ye

#

I liked the discussion vid tho

#

this one went a lot more in depth and they talked about other shit

sullen berry
#

I hate how much that discussion video was completely overshadowed

true hound
#

Yeah lol

#

It’s so much better

sullen berry
#

you see it all the time with news, but that video was great way to open up

#

format is a bit too long to be accessible

#

just tell them xQc pops in it's all good

true hound
#

Ye I was just doing something on the side so I listened to it through

#

I saw another vid pop up in my recommended

#

Shit hit like, 800k views

#

but the only actual point they brought up was “slow balancing” before the video devolved into “why do they balance around high gm and OWL?”

#

people eat that shit up though

digital cloud
#

I don't get it personally. I mean, I get that Overwatch isn't literally a moba, but mobas hae way more cc

#

have*

#

you learn to deal with it in both situations

hot heart
#

At some point

#

This game was fps

true hound
#

was it tho

hot heart
#

Then it became a mix of fps and moba

true hound
#

imo it never really was

hot heart
#

More than it already was actually

true hound
#

From the start you had non traditional heroes

#

genji, Winston, rein

hot heart
#

Yeah

#

But

#

Not as much as today

sullen berry
#

@true hound YT algorithm be weird like that

true hound
#

soldier and crees was people’s gateway while widow was ur average sniper archetype

true hound
#

ah I haven’t seen that one

#

But I have seen that name lmao

sullen berry
#

RL content is very good if you're more an investor-type gamer

#

yup poor richard lewis

#

the man's right after working with blizzard

#

and so the people who are harassing him he needs to make them out as the real idiots and jokes

digital cloud
#

also, what game like OW isn't toxic?

#

csgo is

#

LoL is

sullen berry
#

i think the subject of OWL toxicity should be more interesting

digital cloud
#

Tf2 is

hot heart
#

Every game that is competitive

#

Is toxic

sullen berry
#

instead what x game is toxic in a competitive environment

true hound
#

from what I’ve heard OWL management among teams is scuffed

#

like fact Vancouver pulled shit like that is just

echo quest
#

Every game is toxic. The goat Cs player literally gets banned on twitch monthly cuz of toxicity

#

KEKW

sullen berry
#

the best parts of one game is more interesting than summing it up to randoms on the internet saying "this is game is dead LUL". I don't acknowledge it because that doesn't provide anything meaningful

true hound
#

ye

digital cloud
#

so I don't get those complaints exactly. the only problem I have is that it being a team game means you occasionally have to rely on idiots in comp with no awareness that they are idiots

true hound
#

people cite twitch numbers and I’m like

#

It’s been 20k since 2017, only higher because of OWL on twitch

digital cloud
#

which is something that holds true in other team games

echo quest
#

@digital cloud I mean that’s present in CS and LoL

#

Too

sullen berry
#

yeah don't bother with the numbers, they're not in it so they aren't actually asking for a real debate

digital cloud
#

but why did ow decrease so much compared to games with similar problems?

#

that is what I don't get

true hound
#

devs are slow

echo quest
#

^^^

true hound
#

very

echo quest
#

Takes like 3 months to patch

sullen berry
#

it's been once a month last i checked, great but unremarkable to put it lightly

true hound
#

they’re safe with balancing because they’re afraid of upsetting their community; this just creates a cycle of making your community more spoiled

echo quest
#

Meanwhile you have Riot that has bi weekly patches

true hound
#

give them what they want, and when what you do what is right despite the community not liking it they whine

digital cloud
#

they did say they were gonna makes changes faster

#

and then they didn't really

true hound
#

yeah but it’s faster patches after what, 4 fucking years while working on an expansion game?

#

Like tf

sullen berry
#

experimental card and the patches they put through are definitely happening more than 3 months

digital cloud
#

true

echo quest
#

Ye but it’s kinda late now

digital cloud
#

it is faster than it was

true hound
#

ye now they’re speeding up

echo quest
#

Should have started happening a year ago

sullen berry
#

OW2 development is what screwed them over

#

who asked for it?

digital cloud
#

still rather slow though, double shield just now died

echo quest
#

Deadass

true hound
#

blizz just needs to know what feedback to take and not be so slow and scared

echo quest
#

Like you could have literally released a 40$ expansion

#

That is story

true hound
#

like by being slow and scared you’ve let your community get what they want rather than what is best for the game

sullen berry
#

that's an interesting way to put it

echo quest
#

Instead of a whole new game

true hound
#

lul

sullen berry
#

here, $40 expansion

echo quest
#

Which is literally story + new graphics and some heroes

digital cloud
#

well, it largely isn't a whole new game, it is basically an expansion

sullen berry
#

assume you had no idea a brand new game was coming out

#

now the POV is you just bought DLC three years late

#

when you've had free updates since it's inception

digital cloud
#

I mean, branding it as OW2 rather than being more obvious it is essentially an expansion isn't helping their case much I would think

sullen berry
#

not really, but it's better on the cover of news media and for the streamers that jump onto it

digital cloud
#

the way they have described it, OW and OW2 are merging down the line, and OW players get everything but the pve

sullen berry
#

we've had less and less diversity of content since the loot box videos depended o new events and unique loot boxes that came with them

#

personality videos depended on the fan base of game and said personality

#

meanwhile, props to the good stuff like VODs (plus the OWL POV clips), patch note comparisons and tournaments where community tournaments where blizzard dropped the ball

#

all with low viewership, but the quality is there

true hound
#

ye

#

The views are in Asia

#

Not as much in NA though

#

We all know that 40k is just 10k token farmers and 30k actual viewers

sullen berry
#

and many of asia's content on weibo I've seen after 3 months is just clips pulled from youtube with chinese subtitles

hot heart
#

I think this all depends on OW 2 now

#

And dev philosophy

digital cloud
#

I have my doubts it pulls many people back

hot heart
#

It wont

echo quest
#

Same

hot heart
#

Just pulls some

echo quest
#

But it could be like a resurgence like r6

#

Which was dogshit for its first year

#

And then got people back

true hound
#

it’ll pull people back for the new content but it doesn’t matter if there isn’t any staying power

sullen berry
#

once the hype dies, it's up to the same good community content and the dev timeline that works this time to succeed

echo quest
#

Ye

true hound
#

like 4 new heroes is big, people will hop on that shit

#

But if they come back to OW and it still feels too bursty/too sustain driven, why stay?

digital cloud
#

five or more would be better

sullen berry
#

if they're already working on ow3 with the signs we've had during ow2 development, there's nothing in it for me

#

But if they come back to OW and it still feels too bursty/too sustain driven, why stay?
@true hound maybe that brings in more people if rumors of base overwatch is free on release

true hound
#

oh boy

sullen berry
#

they just want to go back to the 30million playerbase number badly

true hound
#

F2p OW I would hate

#

well at least I don’t want this game to be smurf hacker heaven

digital cloud
#

it saved tf2 though

#

even if it brought some

#

bad stuff

forest raven
#

If ow went f2p I think the game would no longer be dead in oce

sullen berry
#

well nobody takes qp seriously, so it has to be salvageable for ow to go f2p globally

digital cloud
#

why take it seriously?

#

no consequences

sullen berry
#

i think the reason that folks do when competitive is an option is expecting some magical middle ground

#

they can play to maintain their MMR

echo quest
#

I mean you could add like a strict leaver punishment like in league

sullen berry
#

but no, i don't think that's a thing

echo quest
#

To stop leavers in QP

true hound
#

What’s it like in league

#

You get a penalty for leaving casual modes?

#

I know blizz does it with an xp reduction but that’s about it

sullen berry
#

no i think blizzard's answer to why and how they want to fix that indirectly is through map choice

echo quest
#

Say you leave 5 matches

forest raven
#

And that's after a lot of qp matches

echo quest
#

In a short period of time

forest raven
#

That you get the xp reduction

echo quest
#

You get a 5 minute penalty

#

For like 5 games

#

So essentially 5 minutes extra Q time

#

Leave again

#

10 minutes

#

For 10 matches

true hound
#

Map picks?

#

But thatd just be kings row every game

next mesa
#

What up nerds

true hound
#

not that I’d care, but

#

sup

hot heart
#

What up nerds
@next mesa no

next mesa
#

Yo

#

Nice sparkle pfp

hot heart
#

Ye

digital cloud
#

alternatively, there will be the sick fucks that vote for hrc

hot heart
#

Have a cat version of this

digital cloud
#

hlc*

true hound
#

hlc ZenDisappointed

digital cloud
#

unless it gets fixed soon

hot heart
#

@next mesa

sullen berry
#

I was more under the impression of if everyone wants Push, they play on a Push map

#

not the map itself, as much as I love volskaya over anubis

#

wouldn't people want to play control at least every other day?

next mesa
#

Lol

#

No

#

Control so bad

digital cloud
#

control best mode

sullen berry
#

Control is great with a balanced team

#

most times, it's a blowout on ladder

next mesa
#

If you win first fight in control

#

You win more than 60% of the time

sullen berry
#

^ my definition of most

true hound
#

that’s probably why KOTH is my 2nd least favorite

#

It feels snowbally at times

#

And some points are fucking annoying to break

hot heart
#

It feels snowbally at times
@true hound i agree

#

It feels like you just cant win sometimes

#

And when you play it again

#

You dominate the other team

#

With ease

digital cloud
#

that is just team reliance

#

happens in other modes too

#

just can feel egregious depending on how often you do the map, whether you like it, etc.

sullen berry
#

it's also why i like the change in OWL's match format: Control, then it's a mix of the other three match types, then map 5 Control

#

because is the first match wasn't close

#

you have ample playtime to warm up and take that map 5 decider with more confidence in your team or the strategy

upper niche
#

I kinda wish there was a way to not make Control the first format repeated if it goes to 5 matches.

#

If they're worried about draws, then go with Escort (yes, yes, I know it's 'technically' still possible)

karmic grotto
#

Would be nice if they surprised us with push map in grand finals

hot heart
#

Yeah

#

We haven't gotten anything new that's major

#

Like a new map

#

Or

#

A rework

upper niche
#

I want to see someone create an overload/obelisk game mode in workshop

#

ie, each team has a totem, the totem has say... 100,000 health. Destroy it.

hot heart
#

They could do that with anubis maybe

#

I remember there being a rogue AI there

#

In the lore

#

Maybe you have to destroy something and then you win

#

And the other team protects it

#

And it regains hp slowly

#

Idk

upper niche
#

hah, 2 angry men cast

#

Well, the way Obelisk is usually played is on mirrored Control/CTF style maps.

#

but yeah, I could see it working on Anubis and Volskaya where it's exposed in the middle of the point.

karmic grotto

NY "omegalul" XL

plush grail

hot heart
#

plush grail
#

hot heart
#

Sbb libero would kinda slap

plush grail
#

still so sad we'll probably never get to see sbb tracer and haksal genji dive

karmic grotto
#

this match is not important to nyxl

hot heart

Maybe play offs

#

Wait

#

#

Genji nerfs

plush grail

rich umbra
#

karmic grotto

rich umbra
#

#

grim niche

hot heart
#

Nyxl with bianca and haksal in are the second best team in apac

dreamy cave
#

this is not my night. first kissanime & kissmanga go down. then nyxl lose their match.

hot heart
#

Currently they're getting their cheeks clapped by a good looking seoul

rich umbra
#

nyxl be one of those teams that can simultaneously beat charge and lose to chengdu

plush grail
#

you tihnk theyre trying?
@karmic grotto don't they have to win these games for a better seeding in the upcoming tournament??

hot heart
#

Anyone can loose to chengdu

rich umbra
#

true

#

but like

#

they have a good starting roster already

dreamy cave
#

hunters won 3 matches in a row before their last loss right??

rich umbra
#

and doesnt anamo have a good mercy

dreamy cave
#

yes

#

he usually plays mercy for the team. they might be trying things out with the other team members to see what works with the meta

edgy tinsel
#

man actually said "you think they're trying" hahaha

rich umbra
#

well i hope thats the case

#

that they stop messing around with the roster in playoffs

edgy tinsel
#

Anamo hasnt been too good this yr

#

Its always the case for NYXL main supports

#

Ark S1 great - Bad S2
Anamo S2 great - Bad S3

Time to go to the Chinese stream then

plush grail
#

wolf had some issues so they just called up hex but he was busy smoking a blunt and drinking

hot heart
#

How has geguri done?

London with 6 ults

vagrant jacinth
#

Hex been doing it all morning

#

He was fully trashing nyxl

sullen berry
#

#

yeah but it was almost transparent enough that he could have got away with it...

#

up until the crunch time break

viral ledge
#

just from the way he talks

#

its so obvious

sullen berry
#

this is like watching reddit play caster/owl producer

#

just a hivemind telling him exact words what to say

hot heart

mortal dune

He might just be really really tired and unable to comprehend the game well

vagrant jacinth
#

If we played like this yesterday, we could've beaten Seoul pretty convincgly

balmy wolf

Hard enough to make normies accept e-sports, made even harder if they're as sloppy as this

vagrant jacinth

Yeah, he does look super tired

green stump

something is really wrong with him...

balmy wolf

Just realised that at this rate, London are gonna finish bottom of APAC, and who finishes higher out of SEO and HZS will come down to their match.

grim niche
#

Geguri and Hex messing up this badly is entertaining as hell tho

He cant cast for shit

rich umbra

rich umbra
#

tru

viral ledge
#

yeah LMFAO

mortal dune
#

He just seems unprepared, and I feel like he overslept, woke up 9 minutes before he had to start, and threw shit together

upper niche
#

How is this a trainwreck, what did I miss?

viral ledge
#

hex is under the influence

upper niche
#

Hex was called in last minute to do this.

viral ledge
#

most probably

#

or atleast he acts like it

balmy wolf
#

Hex is wavey af

viral ledge
#

he said shit on stream

#

twice

mortal dune
#

Geguri is playing and Hex lost his mind

viral ledge
#

in a row

#

LOL

mortal dune
#

Wait was it twice?

viral ledge
#

yeah

#

he said it once and then again

green stump
#

@upper niche Hex is basically 'not casting' hes sluring words, rubbing his head, acting fidgety, and then he started talking...Heres a quote

"Spitfire is just doing dumb shit after dumb shit after dumb shit"

viral ledge
#

and hes shittalking teams

upper niche
#

oh no, boo hoo, someone swore. Fucking American broadcast censorship, ugh

viral ledge
#

LOL

#

i mean i dont have a problem with it

#

but its pretty obvious that like

#

blizzard wont like it

mortal dune
#

It's not an issue, but Hex is someone who would NEVER do that normally on stream

viral ledge
#

and any sane caster wouldnt swear

#

because theyd get fined

green stump
#

Its not Broadcast Censorship, its basically him insulting a team during a broadcast in a way that cannot be taken in any other way than just insulting

The whole idea of 'fining' employees is hilarious.

He likely wasn't expecting to be working

rich umbra
#

if you KNOW you have a game to cast in like, 6 hours you wouldnt be drinking or sleeping

mortal dune
#

Sleeping maybe, but def not drinking

upper niche
#

he didn't. They said at the start that he's filling in because Wolf was having technical issues.

rich umbra
#

but if owl called him up like an hour before the game and is like hey dude we need u to cast

mortal dune
#

Oh I missed that part

upper niche
#

That's basically what happened, not even an hour before.

mortal dune
#

Yeah so Hex got fucked

rich umbra
#

yea

upper niche
#

Thats why the broadcast started late

mortal dune

And then he'll get fined because they fucked him

where they just get the cast drunk and review games

100% would watch

Frankly I want them to go back and cast some Season 1 games over the holiday period - because they're terrible. OWL season 1 is like... Diamond lol

green stump
#

EMPth!

mortal dune
#

match 1 and match 4 are decent, 2 and 3 are not worth watching

sullen berry
#

There was the one where he said about putting in babel in on hanamura because they were making fun of him

green stump
#

Dumb Shit after Dumb Shit

sterile fox
#

didnt he say "they almost had sex" or smth

wet yew
#

😳

rich umbra
#

dont bos have a 100% win record against glads

sullen berry
#

They almost had six [ultimates]
But it ready did sound closer to sex

green stump
#

with how he was slurring, I could see that

sullen berry
#

Anyways there was Jaws slipping up and saying Fuck in the middle of a philly match

vagrant jacinth
#

Achilios wishing he was back with wolf

#

honest mistake, this was too honest, and that train did not stop XD

Well this is one to rewatch as voice chat. It's a shame we don't do watch parties together

where's the Simpsons Flanders "Ow, my freakin ears" clip when you need it? 😄

LOL Hey, Comms Check, I think we have your next video ready for you 😄

At least he wasn't going to say that joke on ilios LUL

#

Will they do it though

#

They have to break the barriers and this the perfect opportunity to

green stump
#

I dare them to do it...

sullen berry
#

This was pretty uneventful even by live viewership boosts

#

But honestly, they watched some quality casting

edgy tinsel
#

I watched the spitfire costream

#

it was so much better

#

pixie and avrl

sullen berry
#

China's stream overall has it better: no constant stream delays, Chinese cast are in the same studio, and I can get by without knowing what they're saying

edgy tinsel
#

spitfires costream was like 30secs-1min ahea

sullen berry
#

Pixie and Avrl's scuffed OWL wallpaper :V

edgy tinsel

green stump
#

@sullen berry True but statistics wise, it would be like

"why did we suddenly get this big boost of viewers??? Thats abnormal"

#

Imagine if it was during NA time

edgy tinsel
#

Didnt he swear <- hex ?

green stump
#

multiple times

sullen berry
#

He did say the swears on this Christian broadcast

edgy tinsel
#

he praised jmac tho so its okay:))

green stump
#

Not so much the swearing, its the context that made it hilarious

sullen berry
#

The door to door Mormons would like a word with him

mortal dune
#

Geguri was playing which probably got some viewers in cause she hasn't played all season

green stump
#

not in NA though

sullen berry
#

That'd be value enough as it is

green stump
#

more likely that would be the Asian streams that wsould care

mortal dune
#

I mean she's the league's one female player, any region would like to see her play

sullen berry
#

But both would have spiked in viewership at roughly the same time

karmic grotto
green stump
#

even when geguri was playing, the number of average viewers for NA at least, barely moved

sullen berry
#

I don't know how long it took people to notice during the Seoul match for it to go up

Shes much more popular in the east than the states, mainly cause NA barely knows shes there

Achilios: We have a very "special" broadcast, I am joined by Hex, JAWS [Presumably wolf, surely] is having some technical issues

theres more and im in quite a few servers w players and staff who were just floored and speechless lol

#

it was hard not to watch but sooo hard TO watch

sullen berry

It was watching fascinating to say the least

#

Hex was definitely more composed earlier on which is wack

#

because then it started to become an attack on spitfire near the tail end of the broadcast

absolutely bizarre

Shockwave looks like a 3d model

raw ermine

the poetic display of the dragons over these seasons are unparalleled. They go into season one, and finish it all with a 0-40 record, the worst team. On the other end of the spectrum, London won that season. Now yesterday, Shanghai finishes this season with the same tankline playing and beats London to claim the first place spot.
