Nero 76 was betta
Best solider is Blase'
Jake Soldier
Are you forgetting the soldier specialist for s4 Boston??? Chex literally only played soldier to counter Naga pharah for some reason he's clearly the soldier goat
Did it work
had to carry iris and merit in ranked, sad to say I will have to move houston down in my power rankings š¢
I mean Paris lost that game so you tell me
Granted they lost with chex benched again but still 
It would be fun to do "what ifs" in owl
like what if someone like chex wasn't on a perma shitter team
would he look good or meh
What if myunbong didn't go to fucking boston
Because keep in mind he looked better than alarm in contenders
he'd be exposed as an ana otp faster
kappa
He was legimately better than alarm
in contenders
What if rush wasnt the meta in stage one and Florida looked dog shit the entire time instead of inspiring fake trust in them as a contender when everyone was mid besides gnj and yaki

In reality they had an easy play-ins path
also they somehow got omega mental boomed after it
They felt so much better than they were and that's honestly it, oge mega boom aside stage one massively inflated expectations much like Philly
People thought Philly could match Shanghai when in reality they were mid
and the bottom bracket was shock/fuel/houston
But stage 1 made expectations high 
also I forgot
chengdu 3-2ed seoul twice to go into tourneys
then just had to beat nyxl in the last one
holy fuck I forgot seoul went to the countdown cup
no wonder since they won only 1 map
what if blizzard didn't drop massive balance changes before tournament playoffs
s2/3/4 would have had the same winners imo
well 4 didn't have a balance patch
even if they did shd would have won most likely
idk enough on s1 to comment on it
mfw 2020 summer showdown
if there was no genji meta shock/shd would have won that tourney
simple double standards
mickey mouse genji meta that let mid teams shine for no reason? people loved it
mickey mouse hog meta that let mid teams shine? people hate it
even though the genji meta was hardcore double shield
both were cringe
Replace genji with doom in that meta and people would have hated it
genji requires skill and is fun to watch
hog is legit just
peak, try to hook, and then hide till cooldown
genji in that meta was boring though
all he did was dash through halts and spam right clicks on tanks
then bongo blade with halt
pretty sure seagull has said this a few times
people prefer dps metas over tank metas
hog is a dps
Owlel
that brings you down on the owlel tier list
Technically with the genji meta the competition wasnāt non existent and the (arguably) best teams in each region at that time were all finalists whereas with the playoff hog meta it rendered 2 good teams useless during the playins and 2 great teams that were title contenders to be so bad they didnāt even make finals
Also OWLEL š¦
||5head me guessed the American dps so I wouldnāt lose the 50/50 on reign||
stop spoiling me
||fair logic but when there was also the Spitfire dps and Naga to consider from my POV I wanted to get into the head of the OWLEL maker and guess the most obscure player possible||
owlel
dont bunch shanghai in with the fusion
at least we made it close 
They were both teams that had to adapt to an unfun unlucky hog meta and Shanghai adapted slightly better
its not luck. blizzard intentionally did it
0 chance they didnt know what they were doing
āHey Carpe top 3 hitscan of 2020, donāt play that, hereās your tracer scriptā
just that after season 3 the backlash was big enough for them to finally learn their lesson
Yeah, and they never patched OW1 again
prefer that over bogus patches that ruin the competitive integrity of the esport
Depends on the level of bogus
If itās a meta thatās slightly silly then fine
But hog sigma double sniper
Isnāt fun for anyone involved
im sure gesture was having a blast
fusion eternal was as close as possible
or if you mean the hog patch
then yeah shanghai made it close
He means the hog patch
Shanghai did make it close
But imagine if both of them didnāt have Stand1 Sado forced on hog
donāt diss the stand1 hog
it was like
10th
probably
justice were the 6th best team in season 3 and 8th in season 4, this is a fact
Technically if playoffs are all that matter thereās an argument for them being 5th and 7th
6th because for ties regular season record trumps
Yes
and who else lost round 1 losers 2021, fusion right?
They wouldnāt have if they had a better main tank over Mano
they were 1 spot higher in overall standings I think, maybe wrong
Yes Fusion
so justice 6th 2020 7th or 8th 2021
hunters we donāt talk about 2020
2021 they shit the bed
Oh yeah playoffs
but yes they were 2021ās 2nd place orange team
2021 countdown cup finals and 2020 summer showdown finals
both bangers ending in orange team Ls
yveltal thrower
if they did that theyād have to crucify like half of everyone in 2020
a fuck ton of players got benched for playing too much valorant
and decay was in mald jail
actually half of 2020 fuel wouldāve been hung at the gallows
how many vod reviews do you guys do everyday?
0
I wonder what makes profit such a good tracer
imo when it comes to raw aim I think he gets outshined by quite a bunch of other tracers
for chess or ow?
profit is really consistently smart and pretty good mechanically
heās not a top tracer heās just very good
not top 3 but still amazing
who are your top 3 @frosty patrol
iāll just list players better at tracer
lip leave proper apr1ta kevster decay striker
Striker leave proper kevster yaki top 5
not in order but yeah
Top 3 is too hard
top 3 is probably like
proper leave kevster because Iām holding off on striker for a bit
striker is in reality probably top 3 but I must see if heās gone washed
in terms of raw aim decay is prob the best imo
I wont count proper yet cuz he hasnt had his owl debut
Decay is a soy
All of the top 5 tracers Iāve listed have nutty mechanics
LIP raw mechanics 
Lip has the best aim
ya true lip is prob better
I watch Paris vods every day while I'm cuddling with sans
y'all think they'll do pickems this year?
Probably
luigi failed, opened it on his phone and got it in 1
OWLEL 30 EZ 1/8
š©š©š©š©ā
anybody down for a scrim before my match with dunamis?
u suck at chess
I know but I beat you
@plush grail wanna play our matches?
so that makes me better
Join the challenge or watch the game here.
(scrim)
you're 1500?
no idea
He havenāt done placement I think
o
ye, "1500?" means that.
? means youāre placing
how have sans not odne placement bu thes league
half the league either plays on a different site or has no idea how to play
k
U played Ian already?
No. Sadly.
š
i moved the rock there to capture the queen and then almost forgot to take.
gg wp
i dont want to talk about that
He always wins
that was a mate in 1 but i moved to the wrong place....
i moved faster than i could think about that
i saw it
gg
oh thanks.
computer doesnt show me that as a fault.
thats stupid, it was clearly the best turn, with the pawn
cant wait for all star week
for hand and brain
and bullet
all star week will have a bullet tournament
and a hand and brain one
bullet?
you have 1 minute
it takes me that long to have 5 turns
1+0? Ouch, that favors experienced players a lot.
itās all star week lmao, itās for fun
Come on that analyse on lichess doesnt show me missed forcedmates as blunders.
well the whole league is for fun
xD
I am the NicoGDH of the all stars then
Iām a bullet god
My brain thinks on a different wavelength
molanran on the allstar team
that is a hard exaggeration
its more like 1 minute every 4-5 moves
1 min per move
its like Sans says, 1 move every 4-5 minutes
I should make a bot that calculates the worst move possible
alright Uvalo if im that bad challenge me
Just make uvalo play
lol
Lsd I rolled you
is brenshow gonna be casting?
We donāt have the budget
maybe when platchat sponsors us
or t-mobile
In scrims you did
Iām currently top NA
Also you didnāt even roll me
strength of schedule
I do have you and I above Levy
is there any reason why contenders players wouldnt have access to the pro client when the public beta drops
decided that in a writers meeting earlier
ikr my first match was so easy
I have urumir next
That will determine by true place
whats the point of conferences if everyone plays everyone anyway
Trust me
For region excuse
U will get smoked by urumir
Also you play the other region less
Nah I will make finals unexpectedly like the s4 reign
That was expected tho
No
whoever made the format is dumb
Yea
Levy sucks for an IM
I got rolled
ty
cant u just give the vods
Yes I need urumir vods
First one was close after that he embarrassed me
I need pictures of Spider-Man
OWLEL 29, those of you playing must have finished now right
Yes
Get shrekt on by AVRL who starts with carpe https://www.twitch.tv/avrl/clip/HungryFrozenNarwhalSpicyBoy-XwuAZ2eYZytFT0mO
I must remind you also, this is a spoiler
I wish I could tell you this was from someone here but it's not, feels bad if you were Hawk or ultraviolet
Use the role box
Challenge very hard
Getting the team first guess should be 4 max if played right
I can understand the masaa guess
6 max*
you can get mega unlucky
If itās reign itās 4 max
yes
5 mac
How is it 5 max
Iām not American whatās a Big Mac
Jmac
jmac but fat
Iāve decided Iām becoming a doomfist player in ow2
dont
Become orisa player instead
no livestream yet
who the hell is lucas anderson
Orisa wants to stab everyone, and is happy to take Doom's knockback bonus too
she better come equipped with a double-sided saber looking blade
fate MVP run
its a brand new hero
its literally
not orisa
throw out what u know about previous orisa players
scroll up you fool
Smurf about to become best tank
If orisa is a completely different hero then Fury could decide to have a good day
I mean he was the better orisa in the 2019 playoffs
Than Gesture
Damn tank looks like it would be so much fun in 6v6
Canāt wait for the Carpe sojurn MN3 ashe
All the new heroes where like this, then they start to tone down when they have the data.
its the best way to balance things
busted = more people play it = more dataset to balance quicker + it also means that players would have played it and therefore some will continue to stick with it even after nerf
Day one echo and brig
as opposed to underbuffing something and then it gets never played
and you dont know how to buff it cause nobody play it
and then when you buff it nobody play it anyway
who cares, i fuck on cree
Isnāt sojurn going to render soldier 76 useless?
no
Already is
Also sojourn will play more like cass/Ashe rather than soldier
Imo
is a mix tho
Yea
Soldier/Ashe
Soldier is mostly off angles sojourn looks more like a cass play style
i think sojourn will play like big dick gamer (when diem is playing her because he is getting signed)
Sparple new Dallas tank.
Imagine running sparkle tank when you have fearless Hanbin

Rare good take
Just the same core that lost 3-0 to titans
And first team to lose to mayhem in months
A main tank whose only good hero is an off tank
And wen't to map 5 vs hybrid spitfire
And the (arguably) most toxic korean flex support in the league
Alongside a washed up Striker is a recipe for disaster
Every single player on Boston is the definition of āyeah theyāre servicable as long as theyāre on a decent teamā
And Boston aināt a decent team
#20
boston better then fusion
And support*
no
FiXa off ping > Faith
dps are the same
carpe and striker both washed
You said MN3 and Zest are whomegaluls
Carpe is not as washed as striker
Zest and valentine both irrelevant but zest better
Zest is equal to Although, Valentine is equal to Architect
Also Aimgod has the lack of toxicity bonus
At least I believe he does, unless you count the time he pulled the cutthroat sign after beating Paris in the 2020 playoffs
They do, but theyāre not worse than a bottom 3 team
ok fixa aimgod
Pull up Manos ball statistics
fury
And see if youāre still calling Hotba the team killer
He isnāt gonna get playtime
MuZe too good
Plus Hotba was above average last season
Mano was not
Hotba is only gonna get better
And where was Mano statistically?
look it up
Donāt filter players by tank, worst mistake of my life
Canāt find it, all itās saying is how often they played as said hero
Is the stream waiting room up yet?
I wanna see if Manos ball stats are really bottom 5
I'll check.
Mano's ball is 8th in final blows/10 (out of 16)
13th in Elims/10
13th in Damage/10
11th in Env kills/10
11th in Solo kills/10
3rd in least deaths/10
Low, but not bottom five.
11th id say
Sure but if you want to be objective with stats then you need to be consistent.
And if we are being objective with stats, he averages out to be not bottom 5.
Ball is not about stats (doesnāt mean Mano was good)
(we are talking about pure stats)
Is the stream in ten min?
Yes
Wait is it twitch only
so far yes
We don't, the reveal gonna be Sojourn and "soonish" hero for later betas
wait what channel is it on?
Overwatch⢠is a highly stylized team-based action game set in a future worth fighting for. Every match is an intense multiplayer showdown pitting a diverse cast of heroes, mercenaries, scientists, adventurers, and oddities against each other in an epic, globe-spanning conflict.
twitch
10k viewers about to be dissapointed
wtf stream late
who the fuck is this
that's a fucking statue
let me cope
probably fought in the omnic war
i want new shit
!drops
vc?
!drops !drops !drops !drops
ow2 free?
5 sec

10 seconds
0 seconds
-10sec
this is pre-recorded right
no?
geoff aaron and jon in the same room
it probably is
he needs to fix his specs
he just did
Can someone TLDR the stream later
tldr im a chad
orisa has a javelin
imagine reading twitch chat
they just speaking and staring at us without saying anything
fullscreen option 
i dont use fullscreen so i switch to discord faster
second monitor 
31k is like half xqc views
how much % is super
tldr paris goes down
super is like 5k
4'11*
im ngl rn they are background noise but its fine
its good
SHD is probably still the same or maybe slightly worse lmao, two less experienced coaches, one new coach and eh Flex support to warm the bed with WhoRU
might be rude but i legit do not give a single fuck about this talking, show me some new shit
agreed
Even if they shit the bed and OW2 is not friendly to Fate/Void as solo tanks the worse I could see them is top 5
i like hearing insight on how the development team functions
helps put things into perspective
Same
bro its like 5 minutes of talking
Very nice
i do not care, i am a caveman i just want shoot things
dont be too impatient
guns weren't invented in caveman times
You listen to gunna
numbskull
unga bunga bang bang
PLEASE SHOW ME NEW STUFF STOP TLAKING
to ask questions
she is asking the questions
Me, all the time
Because Overwatch League feedback is coming I think
probably the narrator during footage also
its more easy if they do a interview, a presentation type thing would go horrible
And she also has a huge place in the Overwatch community
they should do a QnA with twitch donos
You're dumb
"coming soon" and "i cannot tell you" are the only 2 responses
what are the questions?
i forgor
They would have to read a million "borpaCum"s out loud
legit just say ''we're gonna communicate more, we're improving the team'' AND SHUT UP
They need to shut the fuck up VERY soon
"overwatch dev team should communicate more"
shut the fuck up
overwatch community
saying ''we have a good team'' does not convince a caveman like me
you guys are so fucking stupid you cant listen for 10 minutes of talking no wonder why you can only read picture books
so it is live
it literally said at the start
i read picture books with some text
LIVESTREAM
i have a headache and i can not be bothered to keep listining
plastered in big text
uvalo i will tldr it for u
thanks babe
tldr not relevant talking
maybe his face is tilted
aaron and soe arent even wearing headphones
Aaron has Nvidia Broadcast so its fine
man reinforce and jimmy look weird
sadge
speakers
yes
Geoff is a actual clown
xqc can stream literally anything and get 60k viewers
xqc has 70k+ viewers on anything he does
he could unironically say nothing and paint a wall and get 100k viewers
it would be more notable than usual
are they talking about player jake?
coach player caster jake
slow to catch on i see

Anything important said yet?
his little brother has the alpha
jake is good at OW2
here a screenshot for an easy tldr
if you watch the stream you get the beta
flattering image

where his teeth
L console
L console players
get rolled
the 2 people that play on console
darn i am so heartbroken that i cant play ow2 on my nintendo switch
legit just 10 minutes of talking about the closed alpha we're not allowed to play or see
what is this
i do
cope
I do care about the info
ian just has 3 brain cell
thats generous for Ian
they are talking about how supports are easy kills
brig meta for another 6 years
1 for overwatch, 1 for paris and 1 for girlfriend
YESSSSSS
based
I WANT MORE BRIG
moira/lucio 
Brig unironically is the best character for overwatch ppl just dont want to admit it
Skewed dominating
except brig has no bash
Because she is the perfect balance of skill and brain
i mean no cc
skill is brain
Aim for whipshot
wdym
No i mean like mechanics
aim is brain too
i mean yea but its not fun to play or againist
Essenza alive
go back to your cave mr. "washington will make finals"
and i dont even have regular anymore
your brain sends signals to your neurons to aim
THIS YEAR FS!!!
brain = aim
Btich fuck off
i dont even know who u are
no wash this time
dont even imply that you are saying that washington will make grand finals this year
just dont
leave
but Toronto
never return
Toronto for finals
this is what happens when you take a break and miss by far the best new user of 2022
No i swear they actually might this time guys
nyxl london make grand finals
decay is really good
very little competition but still
vigilante better
likewise
someone give me a roast
they support justice
he thought EU contenders stood for European Union contenders
make fun of that
hunters and justice fan
Im not even going to roast you
Iām getting tickets to the watch parties
those are gigachad takes
Anyone who will mindlessly support justice
Is someone i like
WIDE WINSTON
decay is overrated
I have supported justice since season 2 stage 2
pffffff
ok nvm
ur just masocistic
lmao
yes
decay is overrated
Ans
Nope
Sparple
try again next time
Onigod
@plush grail ???
Mr. Logix
cuyo i thought u were smart
no
no
leave kevster lip yaki fleta pelican proper mn3 shy carpe
no
leave/fleta/lip/pelican/ans/striker/kevster/profit/fits/yaki
not carpe or fleta
prob not fleta
wym decay plays like 2 heroes good
You want a spicy take
not fits or ans either
Decay is equal to carpe on every hero but tracer where decay is a bit better
genji hanzo?
decay better
Decay is like carpe except he feeds
reaper decay better
when has decay even played genji
often
fits is better than decay
literally often
doom is a tnak con firmd
doom tank confirmed
carpe is not at decayās level
on every hero except tracer
carpe is low a
levy go back to lunatic hai jail
decay is mid-high a
Nah decay is low S
right, carpe is much better than decay
Decay is a tracer player with a decent hero pool that got incredibly overrated because he shit on shit teams in s3
decay is an overrated shitter
No one cares he rolled houston on widow
no fuck off
or beat mid tier teams in a mickey mouse meta on an off role
bro is sparkle actually gonna play tank
no
S is saved for apr1ta leave and vigilante
Low S is literally the same as high A
its like A- vs B+
sparkle is the best doomfist though
sparple > fearless
fearless or hanbin dont have the doomfist brain either
sparkle doom zarya orisa 3tp
no because there is no doomfist brain
because CC is out of the game remember
its a complete different hero
decay isnt even high A
canada cringe
not cc
smurf about becoming best orisa
he's low A at best
decay so overrated theres like 10 hitscans better than him
wrong
haha yeah no
if the fdps players play tank then who plays the fdps you fucking mongrel
THE OTHER DPS PLAYERS
dps better than decay: lip, yaki, profit, leave, apr1ta, proper, mn3, kevster, sparkle, pelican, striker
Just wait till we see s9mm roll out on Dva
most teams have two hitscans and one flex
decay is the 12th best dps in owl
please don't let dps players on tank in owl
yeah just run double hitscan KekW
outside of zarya
you forgor flora
Goats go BRRRRRRRRRRR
decay > flora
flora > decay
*another ring
first of all, that's wrong, but let's assume your dumb take is right, 12th best dps doesnt make him high A
wait wait wait
WhoRU is the North Korean general of Overwatch pros
whoru probably
it makes him high A at his position, 5th best hitscan
he's not the fifth best hitscan
whoru by far
you sure?
shy, fits, lip, proper, mn3
2 apex seasons, 2 contenders seasons, 2 stage titles and a championship
stage 1
and an apex title
because decay is fuckin overrated
proper I didnāt count and also itās lip leave mn3 striker
WhoRu flexing the bench for other season
better hitscan are shy lip mn3 aprita leave
and championship
decay > shy and fits
ok add aprita instead then
hes gonna get a second championship to complete his 2-2-2-2
just gotta cop world cup
massive L
so like low-mid A
yes
Lip > Leave > Onigod > Decay
humongous L
wrong
fits easily better
shy easily better
shy is better than apr1ta at hard hitsan
hitscan
btw
if you disagree you're just stupid sorry
i think we should all settle our arguments here via torb 1v1
ok can you go online rn?
weāre talking about hitscan
yeye
so what you're saying is decay is a good dps if half of the dps turn out to be useless
hitscan
yes
if hes not a top 6 hitscan and not a top 6 tracer what is he then
soldier tracer reaper symm etc
who is big brain sym player?
decay symm reaper tracer informed this decision
sym is a hitscan
so are actual hard hitscans
This place has plummeted down hill
EZ clap
4/7 hitscans arenāt hard hitscan
"lets just ignore cree ashe widow"
levy
Iām just counting hitscans and noticing 4 of them arenāt hard hitscan
decent livestream
out of 7
so what we got out of that is
the best symm last year was also sparkle
nah
decay was up there tbh
i love how people are screaming about how much of a waste of time this was and that it was useless
decay has better raw mechanics than sparkle on the sym
but any communication is great
sparkle is smarter than decay will ever be
tbh
decay was smart enough to stop playing overwatch for a season so that's more brains than sparkle has ever shown
decay is in mental jail, heās a top 8 dps if he sees a therapist
Decay is ass
sparkles brain is fuckign massive like how tf do you force doom in owl and make it actually work
he's 900 iq
sparple gonna bench Fearless/Hanbin
if the justice mandate decay get therapy heās really really really good
Doha, Guriyo and Edison on DPS
by being better than the rest of the competition its that simple
he's also really really overrated now
dallas fuel was just far ahead of NA at that point
š
he is better because of his omega IQ
also did it work
on doom
you're right lets blame doha instead
would've fucked shanghai up
sparkle so good dps
dont disrespect the overwatch GOAT
That sounds terrible
Doom as a tank is dumb
His identity makes the most sense as a dps
i mean he is a big strong man that likes to punch things
we already have a big strong man that likes to swing hammer at things
and big strong woman that likes to beam things
role had to be changed because his identity was cc
It isnāt a matter of size, it is that he is a punch murder guy
No tank has anywhere near his burst potential barring maybe hog, and we all know hog is shit
woah when did they add this to match report
legit have never seen that before
seoul easy reverse sweeps baby
I am sure it wonāt be, which is why I think it is a bad idea
His core design is already iconic
its also bad for 5v5
sad theres no stat showing which team has been reverse swept the most
5v5 is already bad, no reason to care about that little detail
Hell, people still have faith in blizzard to make solo hog work for 5v5
apparently the shanghai dragons have the most 3-0 match wins total in OWL
not surprised
Not like the community has hated blizzardās slapdash attempts to balance the game up to this point
Mei as a tank makes some sense, though
Just fiddle with her damage and health some
theres only ever been one 8 map game in OWL
