imo just make his grasp not give him shield at all
I was making a joke with the rip tire thing, I'm more so concerned with how many bongo's will be coming out, it'd buff orisa more and kill Rein
facts facts
just fuckin remove sig and orisa please
Sig shield is the only problem area with barriers. Remove it and you can re-buff orisa and rein shields to how they used to be, back when poke comps weren't just "sit back for 5 hours and then put a shield down oh its dead" but "hey we have a shield that isnt tissue"
Goats existed
Sig would have a nice like old orisa with orisa, the 1st point 2cp/hybrid tank that you IMMEDIATELY swap off
???
If you remove his barrier
Truuuu
Doom is supposedly a counter to ball
How would you remove sigma’s shield without murdering him forever?
Maybe with gravity themed thing he can pull damage towards him
Remove sigmas shield and he’s never gonna be used again
Most useful offtank by far
He’s very versatile
Extremely versatile
He does, thing is literally everything else in the meta counters doom
Mei counters ball too
Same thing with mei
Which is why there is more use for her now
Mei sombra should annihilate ball most of the time
Yea it should
Not the best combo though
If the game was isolated like that
Sombra is just as versatile as sigma
And its not
Sombra works is almost every meta
Sombra is not versatile so much as has an “op” ability
Most of the time your going to be taking the ball sigma mirror
And if you have mei sombra with that your just going to play too slow to keep up with your ball
1 dps needs to do that
Ball can do whatever he wants to
Yea
He doesn’t really need much of a team
Other main tank buffs
Because that is stupid
Then we get new op tank problems
We just need ow2 to drop with more tanks
Need to dilute the pool a bit
Dropping more tanks before we even fix current issues isnt good
Brawl is a fun meta
New tanks make new issues anyway
Exactly
But I think more overlap between tanks like dota or league can make tanks a bit healthier
When has a new tank not caused a new playstlyle
Making brawl a main meta would be fun but would need rein and or lucio buffs
He judt needs to get ult faster
To actually outpace some of the other ults in the game
Then he'll be fine
You know getting a 6K boop only gets you 64% ult charge
Wait, only a bit more than 10% a kill?
I think I have it saved
Isn’t it usually about 15% a kill?
11 then
No thanks
Lucio when strong is oppressive
I think having slower charge is a benefit
Nah lucio I think needs his ult to charge faster
Especially when other support options provide so much
A zen is gonna give a huge damage increase with a fast charging ult
Brig gives top tier peel and rally which makes your team really hard to kill
Mercy gives res and a nice dmg boost
Lucio just gives speed, and that isn't enough of a benefit to be a better choice
damn london with those teasers
wow i wonder who this one is
the especulation is SparkR from BH
Finally London will sign Guxue
Its actualy Architect
it's boink

Man budget concerns have allowed so many shitters to get picked up over really good players for s4
I am getting depression from lack of sbb 👍🏿
Are these all the main tank players?
Put smurf up to S
Also who is that spark player in S?
@silk frost look above
???
I don't think Smurf is S tier, I only really like his monkey and horse
hard disagree on the monkey thing personally
I don't rate his ball that high
Its still above average
yeah noticably above average
but around 5th or 6th
like Rio, Mano, Fate, Gaga, and Ameng are probably better
imo
that's my hottest take tho don't worry most of my takes aren't that bad
Sado is super well rounded and poops on people
He is a good rein, but is a worse ball, orisa and winston than smurf
Put sado at like #4
Bro I literally do not know 90% of these players by face
And you make a tier list like that
Where is this tierlist
This one
No where can I rank them myself @silk frost
I actually think Sado is on the same winston level OR HIGHER than Smurf
that's my 2nd hot take
I’ve completely forgotten how good mt players are but I feel like most players that are good at rein aren’t good at winston and vice versa
Smurf not S tier?
Actually I think mano is pretty good at both
@silk frost wellits wrong
In literally every winston meta when sado and smurf went head to head sado fed so much harder
fair enough
I will disagree though still think Sado is better than Smurf
Particularly because idk if Smurf knows that Rein exists lol
why play smurf on rein when super is on the roster
and I think the small bits we saw of smurf's rein he looked fine
Fearless and Smurf S tier winston
ill delete muma from that list
Ok I'm not ranking all the main tanks
can I say super S tier monkey and not get booly'd
i feel OGE is B at much
But all I know is that smurf sado and fearless are the obvoius 3 best main tanks
No
super isnt an s tier monkey
Smurf is just simply built different
I think gator too low, fusions too high, and who tf is the tiny head in gladiators jersey
Wait
You put fate above mano
You can tell this list is wrong because muma is not at the bottum
Did you put fusions over oge
Sado is probably the best all-round main tank
Mano didn’t have a great season
He was top 5
- we never got to properly see sado’s ball
Didnt have a great season and was top 5
Even so
Sado Winston is also meh
?
Sado went head to head with smurf and never looked like the reason philly were losing
Btw: did we ever see super vs sado rein in a match?
I think on kings row before
Sado is worse because he needs one of the best support lines to be good
Mano doesnt
Nyxl support was meh
And he was top5
We can’t say that for sure, we don’t know how much sado individually improved and how much was alarm and Astro being better then boom box Neptuno
As in
How much of a factor in his improvement was having a better support line
Alot
We will probably see next season
Philly as a team didn’t know how to play goats
And if a team is bad it’s extremely hard for the main tank to look good.
“Extremely hard” (not impossible)nyxl had decent supports.
I still think Mano is a really good main tank though
Sado didnt play much in season 1 + my previous point about how@philly as an entire team didn’t know how to play goats
I just dont trust sado
We will see next season if it was alarm + Astro that was the difference tbh
I do understand your point
Look at all the teams with top 5 mt and their supports
And then theres mano
The Chad
Lol
I think Mano looking good/bad next season is a 50/50
Because apparently he doesn’t know any English... which could be a huge detriment considering the majority of philly is western now
We'll get a proper gauge of sado this upcoming season
Since he won't be backed by a super top tier team
I mean tbf we have never seen shock tank line without top tier support line
Their s3 tank line that is
So who knows how differently sado and smurf match up with a meh support line like Crimzo paintbrush
they should add a skin to every character in overwatch thats only obtainable by people who play in 2020 and its called COVID-19 and the only addition is a doctor mask added to their face
Neither Mano nor sado are the best main tank
Smurf is the best main tank
Most main tanks are missing one of the tanks so it is hard to compare
“All round”
We haven’t seen enough smurf rein for us to judge but yeah
I think they are pretty even other than maybe smurf having the better monkey
To think Boston could have had smurf striker and crusty if huk wasnt an idiot
He fucked it up and now he has to live with the consequences
Smurf and sado? Smurf has a better ball and orisa too
I think sado got super hyped up from rein play and then only performed above average for the rest
Or mid
But bro you have to press w and e !
Big skill
The only skilled main tank is monkey and ball and we all know it 
But everyone acts like insane reins are the best players ever when the skill ceiling is so insanely low
I think the shot calling and impact of main tank is important and obviously takes game sense and all that but mechanically I think it's the easiest role
But to me orisa feels like a role anyone with gm game sense could manage, kind of like in goats where dps transitioned to zarya super easily
I have dropped hot take 
Well actually thinking about it, if orisa is so ez why are there some dogshit ass Orisas like muma 
smurf has a good ball wdym
Levy im trying to shit on main tanks because I dislike shock stop being logical 
I refuse to accept defeat and like the best team
Tanks look bad on Orisa bc they don’t like playing the hero and she def requires a lot of teamwork to get meaningful value from pulls and stuff
Agree, orisa kind of mad boring to play even for a main tank
So if maybe your off tank can’t hit pull rocks for shit it makes your Orisa look like they can’t get good pulls to untrained eyes
It could still be shit pulls though
Missing when pull could drag people an absurd distance

Also missing when halt was op
Halt used to be so good
I mean we could if anyone actually cared about sub t2 teams
Aerux used to follow UK collegiate teams
There isn’t much talk about collegiate here
My bf is on a collegiate team sponsored by justice 
I'l start.
Ball retired after burnout from carrying Masters UK players
really?!
Yes
Wow lmfao
I heard they dropped his salary from a Invaders packet to Wotsits
Collegiate Overwatch is a really cool concept for me
Collegiate is where the golds go to make fame
Mikeyy the ex boston main support is on a college team now
Wow, you're a strong-willed person
Do you know where i can watch Vods?
I couldn't watch the Manchester team without our Team C going 0-5
I meant tank I think
Ah I am thinking of halo
That is who I meant
So many people that just leave my mind the second they leave owl
Wouldn't we all have to go to the same uni?
Isn’t Crakin on a Collegiate team
I can get £200 by the end and get myself a lifetime supply of Haribos
Yea he’s on Maryville
Yeah maryville is supposedly the shock of collegiate in terms of roster power iirc
Stacked
A ton of ex academy team players
cursed
what match was this?
s1 against dallas
I just found a clip off that game again in a compilation video lmao
oh okay
A legend
Tf
no, super was on orisa that game

Shock is cock
super plays zen on a different map
super zen was on junkertown
Is kevster the strongest ladder player ?
Danteh maybe
Viol2t
Xepher
probably Kevster
same w/ kev tho
Has kevster ever been rank 1 overall?
kev plays EU tho
there r still plenty of strong EU OWL and contenders players
they r both ranked warlords
The best ranked player to get on your team is danteh
danteh is pretty good on the ladder
omg I was watching plat chat and I misheard johnny say "fissure got signed to the spitfire as an assistant coach" LMAOOO
oh they referrenced it lol
still
My hot take is that Danteh will flop
trombra
his echo is good
Didn't ans play sombra tho
For a small time yea
He also played mei that one time
And was actually fairly good at the hero which is intriguing
Also ofcourse he plays tracer in ranked sometimes
Even if he doesnt in the league because striker is on the team
We expected ANS to be a widow otp and hes gone beyond that, im proud
Should stick to widow and ashe
His ashe is the best honestly
Widow u got like diem, fits, don't really know
But his ashe just monstrous
u forgetting KSP
KSP carried LAV the whole season with his Ashe
he made everyone play ashe in the first place
KSP isnt a better hitscan than ANS though
nah
He was close
Probably high tier
I dont think so
Hes still just not better than ANS, he was close but still losing the widow duel the last time they came in contact
when did they even verse
kind of hard to win the widow duel when your entire team is being destroyed lmao
ksp and decay not getting mvp nomination but xzi does is some pepega shit
Decay not getting mvp nomination was right
why
and xzi played how kuch compared to that
he was only gone for like 4 weeks was he not
lul
profit shoulda won grand finals mvp 💯💯
SBB gonna bench profit
Personally i thought Void was going to get MVP over fleta
I’m pretty sure they only put xzi in there so someone on Paris was there
I mean fuel
I mean Paris
lmfao
I mean one person from each top team should be on there
profit is my 2021 mvp
When does the next Overwatch League season start pls?
Yeah, didn't expect them to pick up sbb when they had profit
Sometime like spring
I'd look towards about April but depending on how the year goes it could be anywhere
If someone could get finals profit and fits and gesture year round
Then they could have the best team in the league
I think not having a true main tank really hurt them tho
I wish last season dallas did better
They had good dps and everyone else was just kind of there 
I feel like sbb is there as a leader
i dont know if this is controversial or not but i feel NAs standings will be different week by week. By the end of the season i presume the shock, glads and dallas will be at the top but its gonna look like it can go anyway with the top 7 teams
Honestly, there's a lot of incredible and exciting rosters so I could see it happen
Can I make my own owl token code, or is that something exclusive to teams
This kindof stuff never applies to shock though does it?
Madge
I'm just salty
Unless yubo is salty
fits covers sombra
I think they just wanted him I guess
for leadership or maybe good trials
otherwise no idea
Oh, that's true
Probably had good trials
Nah I remember seeing somewhere that seoul just reached out to him
SBB was kinda confused because he assumed his career was over
It was from one of his streams but he deleted the vods
Seoul probably was planning on picking up anamo but also just decided to get SBB
I mean without tobi they don’t have the leadership figure anymore so I’m guessing SBB will be that now for Seoul

Bottom 5 teams this year?
here's vol2t response to being asked if he well miss moth. https://clips.twitch.tv/SourBlazingDiscTBTacoLeft
didn't reign just second place winter ball over valiant and mayhem?
to me, bottom is titan outlaws paris london valiant
I got titans, outlaws, nyxl, Paris and boston
hmm idk nyxl dps line could carry them above chengdu tbh
Cant wait for glads to be tied with shock for the start of the season until their first loss which will be against Boston
I think probably boston, london, paris, outlaws, and toronto
reign, titans, or dallas would also be contenders
Toronto have fury
yeah, but they have been forgettable previously
don't have super high hopes for them yet
but fury is a good start
Atlanta is defanitly below Toronto
toronto has fury?
Sado and fury
I thought justice has fury
atlanta beat mayhem and valiant in the recent winter thingy
they maybe be bad
I will admit
why does he sound sarcastic lmaoo
but I think that makes it less likely for bottom 5
but they can still easily be bottom 5
Atlanta will disappoint again
atlanta is fucking always hyped up
even if they get bottom tier results
people hype them up so much
their dps is so good pepehands
people liked that I think
they should have played erster
After babybey left they fell apart
He was good
I mean, he wasn't the worst hitscan player
but he was not in the top 10 or anything
reign is obviously top 3
He was upper mid tier
yikes
I can sort of agree with that
Edison was poo
I would say closer to middle of mid tier
edison was decent, not sure who you were watching
They only looked good against bad teams
that is true
Who had bad dps
their dps could compete against higher tier
the problem was that the team had no coordination
bad coaching
atlanta is so bad tho
dogman > moth
They took shock shock philly and eternal (post summer showdown) to map 5 but were never able to beat a top team, apart from playoffs
They looked good once every 30 games
And even then, paris weren't that good in playoffs
im just gonna rank atlanta just above paris
they're garbo
but not bottom 3
bottom 3 is for titans, paris and london
Boston actualy
nah
Will be below paris
nah boston will be mid i think
bruh they are upper half
Boston look pretty good rn
boston had few changes, right?
dont lie
yeah
boston made some good changes
how are they gonna compete with the massive improvements other teams made
They got stand1
wtf do you mean even in a dissapointing season they were 12
stand1 was bad on his team
they look better now
they never wanted to use him
fixed their lacks
oops wrong message
bruh stand1 had to share time with fearless
plus there is only a matter of time before one of them is a confirmed pedophile
lol
They have 3 or 4 good pieces
the clock is ticking
myungbong is the only one of those that impresses me
Punk
and im37 now
boston is still at the bottom imo
the rest are not too impressive to me so far
better than before but still
then again, if the games are on lan
there might be big differences this time around
Stand1 didn't have playtime because he was benched for one of the best main tanks last year
other teams also have top tier mts now
stand1 was on the same team as void and fearless
gaga
or is he ot
hes mt
Boston have 2 top tier players and the rest are middle or low tier
idc, stand1 is decent but he's still shit compared to ameng
ameng the yottachad
there is no not stanning ameng
...right
to live is to understand the brilliance that is ameng
Is stand1 a carry main tank or one like fate where you need a good team to do well
not sure
idk he never played lmao
He played quite a bit of Orisa last year didn't he?
you either played fearless who was one of if not the best mt or stand1
Either way the best Boston will be is very low mid tier
And that's if everything goes right
I still put them above Titans London and Paris
and thats IF they dont get a 3rd pedo on the roster
they already have one
London and Paris are both on 140ping
what do you mean
Paris could be good
and titans are.... titans, will be even worse without shockwave to carry.
He did
mistype
Titans are probably #20
Defanitly #20
without fearless, what happens to shanghai, I wonder
They get worse
they have god tier dps and supports still
Fate is not a carry mt
should have got fissure smh
fearless aswell
Fearless did carry
idk about that
winston lol
Monke
3% playtime
Fate is more solid and versatile than fearless
^^
shanghai washed
maybe shanghai just needed the money for selling fearless off
dallas org doesn't need money
even after all the buy ins
Dragons are rich
china
Makes sense
Tf r u smoking
They have michelle and Sado
Justice has fury and mag and are EASILY the better team
Sado's going to be shit without alarm and astro supporting him
Yes
But Toronto wont be bottom 5
Reign above them
No
Rein stompt valiant and mayhem
In a show match
Hawk and Gator showed new life
Reign will disappoint
Your saying that based on what?
There last year
Results last season dont really mean anything
Look at shock s1
and s2
Look at NYXL s2
Teams can change with minimal roster changes
Yes NYXL was number 2 seed s2
and look at s3
Look at london s1 vs s2
Atlanta will still disappoint
Teams can get better or worse based on minimal changes, and the look we saw from the reign at the winter ball was nothing to scoff at or place bottom 5
Especially when even on paper the valiant look MUCH worse
look at his name lol
What do you smoke
Glads have btter support line
nah
Lmfao i just saw your name haha
Dallas are better then reign in every role
dallas stomp reign lol
And teamwork wise
wtf
im sure
effect's kinda weird, but not a pedo
not to mention he was off the fuel when he said those weird things, and he didn't get kicked
Well he was the carry
not any more, he wasn't
Dreamzkazper more like teengrazper
No one mentioned them for bottom 5
How could reign be worse than paris?
at least valiant has ksp and shax
Atlanta lost their best player
Against the valiant
Why does everyone rate the valiant so low? They are at the higher end of average
Paris looks not to shabby
But they downgraded on fdps
the valiant are rated so low mostly based on winter ball
but they did beat florida surprisingly
despite florida having the superior roster imo
Florida basically threw that game
They were on high ping + it was like early morning for them
oge just got done fuckin
I've said it before and I'll say it again
Oge will not work and slime only plays good with papa bumper
And slime ana
Yah
where is a good place to find tournaments?
if anyone can help
like is there a dedicated server for it
reign is garbage
Ratlanta 
no they will be bottom
high low
Probably. I'm not a fan of the roster. Apart from maybe lr1s and pelican
kek
So many teams improving
Then there is london paris and vancouver
New toilet bowl let's go
and atlanta
Nah atlanta surely won't lose to eu contenders
Wait did atlanta lose to Vancouver
Last season
Atlanta did mid tier with that roster plus erster
So pelican change isn't gonna cripple them methinks
Can you believe Bastionmain joined Contenders
once
I loved Australia Contenders more than EU because
A. Frogger
B. They were meming
Mind freak G must be making a lot of money
Ye
no one does
So, BH released dannedd
and Uprising Academy released TAP
Runaway released their coach GugulTaek, and Far is LFT
Mickie is no longer affiliated with Envy
dude for real is Blase just keeping Fuze as a pet or something
why is he still on London
Mascot
when do we get dallas vs SFS showmatch?
It’s always the first game of Shock iirc
true
Also before people shit on London for taking Blase but not Dannedd, remember London held internal trials, you know the results of the trials of Blase is picked up and Dannedd isn’t
Indeed.
I was thinking more along the lines of stuffing him in a costume lmao
I got hope ye
I don't have high hopes, I don't know if danned was any better but blase is meh
Doesn't inspire me 
his genji is ok
Naga would have been ideal but no way they'd be able to sign him 
his doom is super good
i like blase but kinda sad that blase got a team but jjanu or meko didnt
Benbest has no team
Somehow fusions is still in the league
Actually, somehow all of Boston is still in the league
Except halomegalul
I mean fusions was good when they got him but he'll probably play bench a lot for stand1 now

And myun is insane
Chex when he's not forced on mei isn't actually that bad
He lowkey has a better widow than jerry
But he never got to play it
They have a genuine mid tier hitscan now
And soon can cover junkrat and some others as well 
Ye
Less holes
Would be insane if they picked up nico
Nico and soon would be such a massive improvement for boston
Boston just didn't have the power to cover different metas last season I think, since jerry was always stuck to mcree ashe and chex was better at hitscan but had to flex to heroes he's not super comfortable with and their main tank and main support were both low tier
But punk isn't that bad actually
Fusions is nowhere near flexible enough to main tank
Would be better keeping him as a rein specialist tbh
Anything other than barely orisa and fusions fall apart 
He can't ball or monkey at all
Winston is pretty much the staple hero u need to be good at as a main tank
The new coach seems to know what they are doing so far though
Wish monke wasn't meta since his entire goal is to feed lmao
Ye
Boston legit slowly improving
Hopefully they hold their own against the other lower tier teams now
Like watching fearless play and he just gets pumped and pumped by iziyaki ana all game and it's like amazing monkey play but without that constant health pump from iziyaki I don't even think monkey would work at all
Idk I just don't like money lmao
In current game at least
Dropping danned tho kind of sadge, are hurricane promoting everyone and starting all over or just getting out of contenders?
No idea
I feel like a lot of them want to try and get more recognition
Since they probs didn't do great in tryouts
winston just has no skill based abilities besides his ult
Where did they say they dropped danned
And honestly I thought danned matched naga pretty well on echo
I'm not gonna lie
When did Overwatch League and the Glads get on a TV Sitcom?? What?? https://t.co/YRZF9X7Maf
203
2111
wtf-
yeah I saw that
"go glads!"
"push the payload!"
and
"there e-athletes"
"who e-cares?"
are some notable lines
I think one day at a time
anyone got horizon league discord invite
ngl this hurt to watch
Yea
That's why they are better then London paris and titans
Because of soon
Maybey Houston
Happy danteh dps dup is kinda cracked
I don't think overwatch hitscan players are recognized enough for just how cracked their aim has to be
There are so many hitscan players
I'm talking about by players in other games
People seem to place ow at the same level as fortnite now
They don’t seem to get how difficult it can be
Yeah people outside of Overwatch think EVERY role has Main Tank Aim
We just better hope ex owl players in valorant pop off
pine come back please
Sinatraa has been
Faze is sort of doing ok
People seem impressed by Saya’s mechanics, if not his 5head
How
..wasn’t all that shit more than 4 years ago?
because someone being insensitive and cheating before OW came out is indicative of the person they are now 👍
I don't know much about that situation but i remember pine saying some... not so nice stuff. We have no idea whether he's changed or not though so its not fair to call him a shit person, in any way.
I mean at least it is old, people like Pine and Dafran changed
but you look at someone like Kephrii
🤮
Low-key think Kephrii made all those accusations about people cheating in OW so that when you search up 'kephrii overwatch cheating' (or something along those lines) it comes up with him accusing people of hacking rather then the scandal where he cheated on his wife.
the business with his wife is a personal matter
hackusations are a bit more relevant to us, I would think
if he put them there, then I would agree
watching chex stream comp for 8 hours only to end up going 10-10 and being like 3 sr from where he started
pog
Haha that's an F
I mean I know pro player widow usually always looks insane in ladder but I have been watching chex a bit recently and it is kind of cracked afff
CRACKED enough to lose 3 sr
pog
😦
but to be fair
i never see owl streamers with a positive winrate
they always have the score on screen and its always like 4-6 or 3-11
the house always wins
the scrim god
- Say something idiotic
- Leave so nobody can call you out
- Profit
Pine was the face of OWL in season 1 tbh
I'd say jjonak
Pines mccree clip is the most viewed OWL clip, which counts for something
xqc funny slam the fart guy
jjonack got mvp tho
haha
Kinda interesting that S1 NYXL had the most popular/well known players
probably because they were so good
but still
jjonack made people think zen was good
lol the 'notable players' section for wikipedia's OWL page is dafran Gamsu Geguri Haksal Jake JJonak Pine Neko Profit ryujehong Seagull sinatraa xQc
neko?
All good shouts tbf
But i don't think he's one of the most popular players
I'm suprised carpe isn't there tbh
Fissure was ye
Wtf no carpe
I'm out
Ah, to relive s1
Seoul iirc
the miro carry
ryujekong
out of all of those notable players only jjonak remains lmaooo
Profit
He's too valuable
Profit
No you
Toyou
