What

#

Who’s the other choice

noble nexus
#

I meant I'd rather be in Lily's whomegalul as opposed to where I already am on list

north relic
#

A tier is solid

noble nexus
#

any lower than S+ is an insult to my swag

#

😤

willow tartan
#

the tier list I will accept is Micheal's tier list

#

no one else

noble nexus
#

Did he do one?

north relic
#

Michael is the most unbiased

willow tartan
#

He's the only person I don't hate from here

What about me

Yes and

Boston fans only express negative opinions towards their team smh

#

super still the best rein until someone very clearly shows otherwise for numerous seasons

#

imo at least

devout path
earnest leaf
#

Also rein stats are really dogshit to look at usually

#

and have to be looked at differently

#

Someone could die a lot, but be giving way more value to their team

#

Or be hadi and perma int and give no value

Ameng shouldn't be there

hot onyx
#

Better than pooper

earnest leaf
#

the yotta chad cannot be compared to mortals

#

Ameng is in his own category

raw ermine
#

whenever someone plays rein against ameng, ameng literally walks to there house with a hammer, and bashes in there computer

#

thats how he win

raw ermine

#

ameng had a better rein than bumper in s2

#

and I'm tired of pretending otherwise

also better rein than super in s2

Only shatters before Season 2 Stage 2 playoffs are shown because I ran out of song time. Also not every single missed/blocked/stunned shatters were shown because you couldn't really see them well.

I’m thinking
Sfs

Make playoffs
But
Mabye some other team can make some magic happen

north relic
#

It isn’t owl if some upset doesn’t happen imo

tacit skiff
#

^^^^^

#

in all seriousness, I really don't want think Boston is capable of steamrolling the TD, especially because of how great the TD have played recently

#

Now that hero bans are gone, I do think that these playins teams are going to have a lot more flexibility

earnest leaf
#

The issue with all the NA teams in the first round of play ins is that they have two versions

#

A version that makes top 5 teams struggle

#

or absolute ape magic where they can't do anything

tacit skiff
#

Washington's had a really bad and disappointing season, but they've shown potential
While Paris wasn't even expected to be that good of a team this year, they really shocked me with their performance.

For the Washington vs Paris game, I have it going 1-3, in favor of Paris

#

Boston improved a lot this season, and that was basically guaranteed after Season 3's last place finish. Boston have great potential to create upsets, and we've seen that in action against teams like Houston. Boston, however, doesn't look like they have a lot of confidence in the ball comps, and like to stick to Orisa. Whether or not that works is going to have to be seen.
Toronto replaced the Uprising in the Countdown Cup as a great team in qualifiers but a terrible team in knockouts, and they looked solid almost the entire time, even picking up a map against the Shock. Toronto has shown that they are capable of beating these low-mid tier teams, but they really struggle against top tier teams. Whether or not Toronto had their confidence diminished after the Countdown Cup will play a large factor in this matchup, as well as if Boston feels like upsetting for the Playins or not.
For the Toronto vs Boston game, I have it going 3-2, in favor of Toronto.

tacit skiff
#

Honestly? I don't give the Uprising much of a chance against the Defiant, but I also wouldn't give Toronto a chance either.

Both the Uprising and Defiant have taken one map against the Shock, so they're basically on even playing fields when considering a vs Shock game.

#

Whether it's Toronto or Boston, I see the Shock winning 3-1, yet again over both teams.

#

But you never know, every team has a chance at winning this. Every team can upset, and every team can underperform. Things can go drastically differently than the way I predict them to go.

#

I didn't even think the Uprising would win that one Houston game that cost the Outlaws knockouts.

#

It's a free for all, from here on out, nobody is gonna hold anything back, for any reason.

Haksal :)))

#

I miss him

tacit skiff
#

the Uprising are still subbed to Soon on YouTube

#

what could've been :(

earnest leaf
#

actually fucked boston gave up so quick on soon

#

having him honestly would have helped a lot for how much tracer needed to be played

tawdry hamlet
#

I mean considering poko is also in France and he still doesn't have a visa

#

They probably saw it coming

#

Sucks but I mean poko missed the whole season so getting an eu player over vs a bilingual cheap player who has had the visa before and shit. Wish they had just taken the gbs route and last minute signed an extra tho because both their tracer players suck

tacit skiff
#

Soon would've made a huge difference
Soon and Valentine sound like a deadly combo

tawdry hamlet
#

Sounds like an upper mid combo. Then myunbong is myunbong, and punk plays as good as he has been and the only worries are valentine who is okay and stand1 who has been meh

#

I wish soon got to play or Paris got him instead of tsuna

#

Or actually better yet

#

London didn't sign hybrid 😑

I would much rather have had soon shax blase sparkr than what we got

#

If IMT gets resigned to any position on the team for the 4th year in the row and they keep Whynot for the third year in a row after the constant talent they have drained from multiple talented players I will write an intensely angry email to the org

tacit skiff
#

I wonder how long the break will be after OW2 releases
because teams are going to need to get used to the new heroes, and the devs are gonna need to start balancing right away

hot onyx
#

Probably an additional 1-2 months

tacit skiff
#

Do you think the new heroes will just get put straight into the live game or put on PTR first?

hot onyx
#

I think to start the entire game is going to be the live game and it will be unpatched as hell

tacit skiff
#

I can imagine they're "somewhat" balanced because they've all been in development for three years

#

Sojourn looked balanced at Blizzconline

#

on the 30 seconds of gameplay we got

hot onyx
#

Then they take it out of the cyberpunk phase and offer refunds while they remake the whole thing for an additional 4 months

tacit skiff
#

actually

#

every game that releases now is unfinished and gets finished after people spend their money

hot onyx
#

After 4 months they put out a closed beta for content creators to show off and get people hyped for but the hype is already dead just like it was for Cyberpunk

tacit skiff
#

Blizzard already admitted their wrapping development up on OW2, and saving unfinished features for future updates, just to meet their first half of 2022 deadline

#

I hope we get clans soon, or at OW2 release

hot onyx
#

That is sloppy and will not work

#

They’ll be releasing an unfinished game to make it to a deadline that they’re pushing for themselves

tacit skiff
#

I remember like a year ago, Jeff promised a brand new, huge social feature
that never came out

#

didn't know clans was so difficult to make

#

Either way, I predict Season 5 is going to be extremely hectic with these new heroes

hot onyx
#

Remember that this is Activision Blizzard headquarters we are talking about

tacit skiff
#

You've got a point

#

We know what was hindering development

hot onyx
#

Where you spell “sustainable workplace environment” without “tainable workplace environment”

tacit skiff
#

I feel bad for Jeff

#

I really hope he creates or joins another studio

#

He made a GOTY winner, he can make and produce great games

#

It just sucks Blizzard owns the IP

hot onyx
#

I hope Jeff joins the Paris Eternal

tacit skiff
#

Jeff would carry

hot onyx
#

So they can finally have a decent main tank

#

Jeff giveth, Jeff taketh away.

#

I doubt it was Crossplay

#

Crossplay doesn't take several years to develop

it's an already existing feature in plenty of games, it's basically copy and paste

Boston was at the bottom last season

OWL Viewership is like a slinky

#

Except when you expect it to spring back

#

There's no OW2 announcement to coincide with the influx of people returning to watch pro players duking it out

#

Love that the article doesn't include numbers, it just hints that Chinese viewership exists

devout path
#

I think it has to do with the meta

sullen berry
#

Former or recent?

devout path
#

Both

sullen berry
#

I think this season's hero diversity has gotten marginally worse, but that doesn't always mean it translates to fun matches to watch

devout path
#

I think owl viewership is exploding because the meta is so diverse rn

sullen berry
#

You didn't have NA suffering at the hands of weekly hero pools at the mercy of the wider who asked for it in the first place

devout path
#

Also the games are more important and more impactful overall which means more consistent viewership

sullen berry
#

Thanks to YouTube clips, there have been a lot more memorable scenes. I'll agree to that

devout path
#

Plus the league is just way more balanced

#

There was like 3 not competitive teams this season unlike last seasons where there was like 6 or so

sullen berry
#

If anyone saw season 3 as the worst season (I'd argue season 1 was with only 33% of teams being competitive), season 4 has definitely set itself up to be that apex and a mature online setup

devout path
#

Yeah actually having time to prepare for online this season definitely helped a lot

sullen berry
#

Youtube's discoverability is indeed dogshit though, as many have said.
Though can you blame an algortihm for a purpose not delivering for another

I've seen a lot of speculation regarding a 2022 start date for OWL. We can confirm that our plan is to begin next season in April 2022. We will share more details about 2022 roster construction timelines soon and more info generally on our 2022 season as we get closer to April.

I won't mind 5v5 if they make more teams

No game that has been rushed out in early development has been good

Not to mention 5v5 politics

How long do you think ow2 have been developed

hot onyx

Like 2 years

#

But they say themselves it’s unfinished

balmy wolf

its only owl

#

the core game is working fine

north relic
#

I think the pvp aspect is most likely taking less time than the Pve

balmy wolf

so what are u smoking

#

heroes are done pvp is settled

hot onyx

This is going to be the nail in the coffin for OWLs viewership

Heroes don’t have to be done when released

when they play on ow2 early

You think they are just going to keep off tanks the way they are?

hot onyx

Ah yes removing meis freeze will be impactful

frank granite
#

Not only is every hero getting reworked but there are going to be new heroes

north relic

They made 5v5 to change tanks not keep them the same

hot onyx

Double their health and damage to compensate for the lack of an extra tank?

feel free

they are trying other shit like giving Winston scatter arrow and rein a Jetpack or smth

hot onyx

Ok

#

I’m all for giving it a chance when it’s fully developed

#

But they’re unnecessarily rushing a deadline

balmy wolf
#

Its actually way better

north relic
#

Well I’m thinking the pve part is going to be unfinished but the Pvp part should be done for owl

balmy wolf
#

Release PVP

#

So ppl have content

#

And after it settled release PVE

#

For another dose of hype

Or maybe patch OW1 once in a while

Else we don’t know what to play first

What’s going to happen it ow1 if you are going to buy ow2 beta

Because whiny dps players

# hot onyx But they’re unnecessarily rushing a deadline

They're doing quite the opposite the game has been in the works for the better half of two years. and the release date isn't even scheduled for 2021 or even 2022. Tanks are going to be completely re-worked to fit the 5v5 team comp. it's going to be fitted and balanced to where one tank on the team is balanced and two tanks would be op. for instance zarya is getting more bubbles for her teammates... effectively doubling her protection and making it to where she should never ever go below 80% charge. rein had little to no knockback effect. two firestrikes to where you can in theory go from 0->50% ult charge in a matter of seconds without even engaging on the enemy team. Hog will have more health and be able to heal more... as a role they give about half the ult charge they used to give to other roles. so where as if a tracer put on clip into a hog's head she previously would have gotten close to 40% ult. she would now get 20% and hog doesn't even have armor... It's very well balanced and personally I can't wait to play tank in OW2 for the sole reason that I don't have to worry about getting a decent main or off tank... All tanks will be a main tank and I'll be able to do what I could do as zarya, rein, hog, ball & winston even better without having to coordinate with an extra tank. I personally love playing with an off/main tank when we're in sync but I really don't see this as a detriment to the game

shadow crag
earnest leaf
#

They barely gave us balance changes that would make an actual difference

#

Unless they majorly buff tanks, it's gonna be the dps show

#

Things like zen/double sniper will run rampant

#

My guess is tanks will be one of two things, incredibly broken, or useless

#

Without drastic changes to the entire roster 5v5 won't work out better than 6v6

wet oak
hot onyx
#

And the long queue time argument is incorrect and plain whiny

#

Personally I don’t see many tank players staying on tank or even staying in the game

#

They’ll either immigrate to Valorant/Apex or become dps players, particularly in lower ranks

#

It’s easy for dps players to say that they’re excited for 5v5 because it doesn’t affect them in a likely negative fashion
