the times I've actually liked the zarya is when you have one person pressure a split group with the bubble so they're forced to either shoot the bubble or leave, and can't counterdive well since you have the 2nd bubble in your pocket, OR when you can repeatedly peek and dip behind cover without worrying about getting hunted down and killed
hanbin did
but, the 1st doesn't work against a rush and the 2nd is map dependent
died
Which game did patiphan leave overwatch for
valorant
kevster walked into fielder oof
got to either quarters or semis at masters
kinda funny he did tbh
that was hot
Like I feel like valorant should surley be better ig?
those shots werent easy
maybe he just liked ow a lot more ig
depends on who you ask tbf
ngl
most people would disagree with you
derrek, saya, pati was also a nutcase when he was playing
cause Valorant esport is 5x larger than OW rn
this crowd aint helping
not even close
saya's fucking monstrous atm
not in viewership
well, not since the guard cooled off but the lan quals
ho ly
like see
hanbin has to decide whether he bubbles for himself or bubbles to block the shatter on fielder
reminder that swathes more Chinese people flock to owl broadcasts than they do to Valorant ones
that's the kind of choice that kills zar comps
and koreans
ok that shu kill kinda clean doe
so viewership diff isn’t as big as it seems
wtf did ATL do
won
yes
shock trolled
ffs
fuel looking so good on offense
the ult cycle is online
ig but at least in NA
idk
they beat sbhock
owl has pot just needs a bit of a restructure imo
mtd
imo we focus
I love ow esports to watch but idk
All of East Asia except Japan simps Blizzard esports
on this match
and valorant can be fun to watch
reiner
yep
LOL
Japan simps Nintendo esports
dallas have entered the flow state
???????????????????????????????????????????
3:34, man that's quick
this match is SO good
fr
I honestly love watching the non-miror matches so much more
feels like this might be the finals
fuel could have not played that any better honestly
I mean
aside from maybe winton dive
thats wot i have for the finals
idk
neither team can mirror lol
yeah its fun lol
dallas will shit on glads on zar, glads will shit on hanbin on rein
Like seeing the strengths and weaknesses of each comps going against eachother is fun
tbh
agree
Dallas still have Fearless if they want to play rush
don't forget they basically created the sym mei rush last season
yeah but their best comp is zar and going fearless is nice but they wanna be able to play that zar
dallas and shanghai basically created metas last year
reiner swinging at air
dallas last year was magical
I think
insane team
the zar comp is easier to run
boostio
like
wow
easier? I mean not really lol
I'd never seen a team with that much talent shit the bed so hard
easier as in you don't have to have the same level of prepwork
LOL
gg
its prob just that the zar plays into the strength of Dallas realyl well
1-1
as in
Hanbin boddies everyone else on zarya
I mean
because hanbin is a nutcase
sure but you still need great coordination
they have fearless sparkle
if you have players of that caliber shitting the bed like that it's a staff issue
and zarya enables that the best
assuming Fuel win this map, where do Glads take Fuel
idk about edison
I mean sparkle has played pretty well thsi game
Dorado/Gib and let them bring in Fearless?
as time goes on individual preferences will give way to what is just straight up better
better than the last week for sure
Sparkle has showed up today
e.g. ATL really liked the doom at first
but, it just doesn't work on some maps
so now they're adding gator in
well yeah thats how it works ofc
he is
every meta
no one has played a better reaper so far
but rn the zarya still looks really good
so why switch it yet?
idk
same with the winton
he makes so many questionable plays
sometimes little value from blossom
we'll see
i feel like fuel could have chosen a different player i get eddison has good chemistry but like
thats all teh reapers tbh
at least from what I ahve seen
hes gotten the most value cause he's on dallas
blossom is just shit
not as bad as s9mm's blossoms have been tho
lol
tru
It can be
i think nero is the best reaper so far this season
Reiner is feeding so hard holy moly
Feels like Fuel have found the answer to the rush
just kinda a bit risky
the Genji is farming
when you have two bubbles
i think other players are better on reaper on their own but i think nero has had the strongest showing on reaper
tbh dallas should have won first game
yeah
the main weakness of the zar comp is how often you have to burn bubbles
well Genji is slapping rn
sparkle overwatch
if you start running out then you become stupid abusable
EZ
fuel doing it w ease
MTD
this map
if you use them like shit yeah
shu diff
HANBIN DIFF
Real
I mean
is there anywhere you can see where the next homestands are located?
but clearly Hanbin is good enough that the bubbles are almsot always getting value
]the bubble reaper is deadly
I've also seen plenty of times where teams put 150 dmg into a zar bubble that won't break anyway
you kinda have to turn for it
so
both teams are on fire
fuel 3-2
and as long as you're denying charge, you have the advantage
i have seen the light
yeah I think this goes 5
not always tho lol
Yeah. I think kevster is really good when hes playing against another hitscan. But here against the reaper genji it dosnt feel like he got much of any value
no pretty handily
if you don't shoot the bubble reaper in your ass he gets free value and even a pick sometimes
casters are gonna find a way to talk about a reverse sweep with the glads playing kekw
if I was going to say 3-1 I'd say Fuel, Fuel should've won lijiang
the charge is massive
so you force the charge on zarya
without it the zar isn't a threat
the charge is big but often times if you play well on zarya
i think its a 3-1 for dallas
you force them to give you charge wit the reaper right
this is indeed how zarya bubbles have worked since 2016
if you never shoot the bubbled reaper or blade
i think they found a temporary solution to the rush
however
well you lose anyways
and its gonna carry them through the series
I have also seen a lot of times where teams charge a zarya for no reason
literally watch someone flying out with a full hp bubble and shoot it anyway
I think Glads pick Dorado
well yeah but also its not crazy hard to get charge as zar lol
there've been times where zars have been up like 40-60 energy just off trash charge that shouldn't have gone their way
like esp into rush
are you talking owl or in general lol
there's no real good maps for glads to pick here
oh well yeah kinda
but again Hanbin is also just better than the whole lobby
circut is by far best map for glads
every map is gonna be hard fought in this series regardless
so hey
and grav is obscenely valuable
the better a job you do at denying charge the more freedom you have before grav comes up
i want glads to win even tho atlanta just got swept by glads. atl has such a betterr shot at beating glads than they do dallas
you kinda have to give it so that a
say bubbled reaper
doesn't 1v2 your supports
that doesn't mean throw charge at the zarya for no reason
agree @balmy wolf
like self bubble into a rush isn't crazy
getting charge pre-fight and mid-fight are different
pre-fght still isn't lol
pre-fight charge means you start the fight charged and with bubbles
I'd rather take the fight against the rush than try to mirror dallas
again not that crazy hard to do tho
mid-fight means you have to burn resources before you can start dealing damage
bro
no way thats winnable
a rush with a ton of spam
if a zar peeks and bubbles next to cover
unless we pull out a 2021 atlanta run kekw
maybe don't break the bubble while they still can't engage
thats not exactaly how that works tho
I've watched teams feed almost entire bubbles of charge for no reason
oifea jiopfasejiofpas jfasoi[df
like at least at a High level
how can you call my understanding of the game simplistic and then talk like this
can we make a esports debate channel?
I don't get it
its hanbin time
except when team is spamming prefight cause thats what you need to do
to
y'know
get ults
and win a game
its not hard to get charge
and you still continue to shoot the bubble for no reason after you see the bubble
if a zarya isn't bubbled and walks out
that is dumb
then do you keep shooting
thats usually how it works
or do you stop shooting
lol
shooting bubbles can also be to pressure zar
because I have watched teams continue to shoot the bubble when there are not enough people to break the bubble
idk about that one tbh
not reeeaaally
yes really
yeah its hard to 24/7 keep track of every bubble ever
since there's so much less burst damage she's not really that threatened just by bubble breaking
what
it's a 9s cd
like its not crazy hard to walk in front of poke, wait, and then get charge
otherwise you just stand there and the zarya keeps the space
if you pop the zarya has to move
I mean
if you don't care
then not shooting the bubble means she still isn't a threat
"JuST nEVeR ShoOT zARyA"
"I kNOw bEtTer thAN tHe PrOs"
you need to do something
please
jesus fucking christ
this is not rocket science
so
lmao
once she bubbles
do you keep shooting despite gaining nothing from shooting the bubble
or do you stop
and zaryas often peak without bubble to farm ult so its not crazy to me a dps would shoot it so that she can't infinite farm ult for free
lol
just braindead
I WATCH THEM NOT STOP
I literally watch it happen
and then the bubble expires because there wasn't enough damage
and now she's got 20 extra charge
holy fuck
why do teams play the same heroes?
ok tbf charge goes away so quickly 20 charge isn't that insane
there is a problem if gib is not a monkey/widow map
sd kjsfdiop dashjiop fjasdio[p fgjasdiopasdfjio[fadjioapsf{
ans invisible
how
lol
how is ans
??
not doing anything
they're meta
jesus christ
ans nervous
usually by the time the fight starts its only like 5-10
and its not that big of a deal
tbh
so they could play other heroes if they wanted to?
I have watched fights
yes
but the heroes they r playing
are the most likely to win
where zaryas had 30-40 extra charge that was given by trash damage that could easily have beena voided
90 vs 80 chrarge barely maeks a diff most the time
but cant they just counter pick against the meta
counter picking
yes and when counter meta is "discovered"
then a new meta
gibraltar favors monkey and widow too heavily, the only answer is to play it yourself
but I don't feel like arguing with what feels like someone who has never played vs a zarya or seen a high level vs a zarya
is made
silver mindset
lmao
so seeya
im diamond but ok bro
40% extra damage doesn't do anything
holy shit what is ans doing
esp when it charges one of the best ults in the game
well you said 20%
dw though, you just haven't seen high level play before
didnt say you werent
and 20 charge decays so quick
20% off one bubble
in the midfight
bro ans i'm ngl
yeah what of it
but counter picking isnt how the game is played anymore
I have watched it accumulate to more
how do you not understand how this works
out of guriyo
than you lose both bubbles which is awkard if the team can engage quicker
guriuo
lol
is a top 10 hitscanner
i watched ow1 but
mhm
is anyone a fan of this 5-man teams?
yes
not only that, but the more charge you have, the longer it takes to decay
mhm
if i had 2 watch fucking
double shield
mhm
so when you get charge again, it takes even longer for it to decay down
or new goats
go off queen
or zombie goats
I know you are unaware of zarya mechanics
i would have lost it
thats the reason they are losing
but that is how the character works
it made ow1 fun kinda
for sure
neo goats went kinda hard doe
not sure if you have ever been above plat but sure go off
I said teams are sloppy about playing against a zar still
mhm
u can counter double shields i dont know why people see it as a big problem
holy fuck
how
bastion
jesus christ
tracer
lmao
bastion doesnt work in owl
tracer doesnt work against double shield
nah he trollin
he has to be trolling
agaisnt double shield?
what rank are u guys
okok
in what world does bastion counter that comp
in diamond u can just go bastion against a doulbe shield
well
idfc about diamond tho
with 2 shields of ur own
its fucking ladder
diamond compare lol
mfs lose their minds when enemy picks bastion
yeah they died
they become a sub
😂 😂
god knows ow1 could be boring
tru
no player that gets diffed by ans is top 10 hs
im sorry
and carry potential is back at 10 fold
we cant say for sure until u play ow2 on release
What the fuck
i have played the beta

easy game for dallas
it is better
beta just a beta
???
ah yes the carry potential where everything gets healed unless you have a teammate with you
What are they rubbing on their hands
c9, sparkle coudve touched
they will cahgne
yeah and ow1 is so fucking bad anything is better
genuinely I went back to ow1 within a day or two lol
ow1 goated
5v5 is heat
I mean no matter what 5v5 will be similar to how it is now in essence
the reaction has not been nearly as negative
lowkey
yes
it'll change significantly depending on what happens with the supports
braindead take
blizzard babying the fuck out of supports in ow2
Hard benched
I’m waiting for the overwatch 2 announcement on June 19th or whenever it is
im a support player
5 v 5 killing my goat
thats what happens when you play aginst glads!!
there's a reason supertf retired before the game was going to be on ow2
False's
cause ptiphan is not there
Career
Mah bad
also a lot of the people praising ow2 are going to play for a few months, whine about the supports and then quit most likely
so
that would be great if pati platyed that bad last game lol
nerves imo
Meant 6 v 6
why are they sucking ans dick
still does not matter
I mean we know they are looking at supports rn so...
hardly done anything
he's a shock player hello ???
and supports are so insanley strong in ow1 ofc they will feel weaker in ow2
I would hope so
get dick rided
hopefully it gets better but I'm not getting my hopes up
truee
cause in ow1 they are dumby strong
they're stronger in ow2
past and current
lol
??????????????
Shock players always overrated
bap brig zen all 20x stronger
wrong
there's no OT to contain them or help burst through the healing
Especially the current ones
have so much space and peal
especially wrong
ana gets to run absolutely wild
peal lol
Hadi > Coluge
this shock is not overrated
crossplay on ranked in ow2? anyone know anything about that
agree
I hope not
coluge > hadi on OT sadly
please god no
current shock is at least deserving of some recognition
Good luck playing ot in monkey meta
dw guys, the bigbrain player doesn't understand what removing the sig/zarya/dva OT did to affect the support lineup
I don't need a 4.3k widow on console or some shit getting shit on by the 3.6k widow onetrick
very smart individual
still wrong though
cause hadi is not > coluge on all tanks
easier games for us pc players no?
yeah its less peal and cover to play behind...
what?
well no I get them on my team
tahts the issue
it also means that sleep and nade run free, and you don't have an OT helping to dive you
lol
its easier to dive supports now lol
not really
you are only talking about ana tho lol
i was hardstuck plat for 2 years for going solo queue, i went 6 man for 1 season and went high diamond
its really not nearly the same
just play in a team of good ppl
as a brig zen in ow1
with d.va
like i'm sorry but idfk what games you were playing
they re obj weaker as a role
less room to perma heal and stay alive
makes a lot of characters like bap weaker
entire matches in owl are coming down to which ana's landing the sleeps lol
weaker role tho
winton jump winton zap winton ult winton nap
was that nerves again
i was looking away
what hapened
ans fucked guriyo @north relic
They went too far
just won widow 1v1
its so easy to fuck supports in ow2 compared to ow1
not if they have more than two braincells
shit like brig doesn;t make team immortal anymore
and actually peel for each other
they do the same in ow1...
i highly doubt our ow2 games will look like this owl. we will still do basic setups on high grounds
these nanos sadly not enough
oh god I underrated brig so hard before I realized the armor change applied to her too
actually impossible to kill
Ayo opening weekend hit 1.3 mil
yes she does
and a passive self-heal
and no stun anymore
which is a big deal
and lucio exists
which is also a bigger deal
lucio's also impossible to kill
she still has two boops and eats so much fucking damage
yes but you can over run her
she doesn't have as much mob as lucio
thats whyt she is only really good on maps like gib
mobility
thats why she is really good on maps like gib and dorado
where you can set up easier
do you understand the concept of splitting your team
it's very much map dependent yes
yeah
agian supports as a role are weaker thats a fact
pro players say it
high rank players say it
most people say it
idk dude
you are easily in the minority
I've been seeing more pros/high ranked players change their minds and say "wait, maybe supports are stronger than we thought initially"
some are stronger than others like ana but as a role its lower
but guys
they are better just not that crazy insane
I thought ans was supposed to be washed and dogshit
wow
they're running the game rn
sadly gladiators choke these
Gladiators are disgustingly clear of the Shock atleast
This is going all the way ladies and gentlemen
crazy we don't see those tanks
yeah
and why doesn't bap, zen, mercy get played?
I mean ana is good but also winton is way stronger
winton is only good because he has an answer to ana
and dps will usully have more impact overall
ana is the reason monkey is good
shield vs doom who can only protect himself
better ult
than doom
like idk
And we have seen the doom force some teams to swap to mirror different comps before

we've also seen teams just play like shit
Glads 3rd map 5 against a top team
Bap and brig and zen are literally game defining in ow1
and they get infinite heals and protection
with second tank
so idk
and way mroe room to set shit up
this is another brig moment where everyone tells me the owl coaches say I'm wrong and that I just don't know what I'm talking about and then people go "wait maybe we were wrong about that"
whether you like it or not ana lives longer usually in ow1 and can set up more
at least it's not gonna be a reverse sweep this time
I am saying that supports aren;t as bad as we orignially thought but they still are weaker than ow1 lol
which I think is a good thing
tbf
and I'm saying you still are delusional
They jsut need tuning so that they aren't boring rn
and you are a fucking dumbass so hey
hey at least I know how building charge works
lmfaooooo
ah yes, the dude that doesn't understand how charge decay works knows more
I bow to you good sir
I do but its ok : )
you clearly don't know how to play zarya at all if you don't know bubble yourself when you bait out poke = charge
how yall still arguing
I never said it didn't
let it go
well you do
but hey
you just can't understand ow at a basic level
which is ok!
sometimes that happens : )
I had to specify 3 times that I didn't say that because you cannot read
well no you said everything I claim
and eventually, once I locked you into exactly what I was asking you, you agreed with me
because that's what happens
and then you said that "well you just didn't see that happen"
I haven't agreed with you at all
you did
you just are coping so hard at what I'm saying that you don't realize
what
lol
and you still don;t understand how zaryas play at a high level and that getting charge before a fight starts is really fucking easy and happens all the time
you saying
"JuST dOn'T DO iT"
like bro
little break for hanbin
"teams shooting a zarya bubble when they don't have to is bad"
"well you just don't understand zarya bubbles"
lmfao

I was very specific about what I was talking about
I've watched it happen
and 20 charge before a fight starts isn't that crazy
cause usually by the time fight starts its very low
I'm sorry you don't understand the game well enough to recognize when a zarya bubble expires on time
and I have also played at an actual decent level on ot and know my shit vs
you
who clearly doesn't
lol
but go off queen
yaas
plays at a decent level and still doesn't know how charge decay works
edison bastion please
😔
these two really arguing about something that dosnt matter 
that's not what I said
fr
crazy you always have to misrepresent what I say when you respond
yall just making yourselves mad
that is what you are saying yes
it's just not
lmfaooop
if a zar walks up across the map and bubbles, if you don't shoot her you are throwing
you have the understanding of a silver player who thinks they actually know the game without
you gotta pressure bro
sure she's just gonna go back behind cover once bubble breaks and we can't follow up
mhm
but you gotta pressure her bro
you have too yes
for your own ult charge yes
and if she pokes forever you lose ult game
how could I have forgotten
and often its a bait
"That's not what I typed babyrage"
"This is what you meant babyrage
she doesn't jsut peak and immediatly bubble unless there is already spam that she can take easily being thrown down
you jsut think something is happening that isn;t
idk bro
it's ok, not everyone can understand the game that welll
lol
ik
that's why teams have staff, to help with that
not everyone can
thats why ppl like you aren't coaches
or a high rank
or anything
and in your case I wouldn't try going into coaching
in the game
don't think it'd be a great fit
ik I am not good at helping others improve
: )
and I don't have better gamesense than coaches
just mroe than you
apparently not if you don't know how charge decay works
Now kiss 
lol
lmfaoooo
Charge decay is just a constant amount of energy per second 
he said that adding 20 extra charge doesn't change how far down you'll decay before next fight
and I think its not worth time anymore
bro dallas win that if they just grav pulse
preds are going to new galaxies

pls just take the early fights to win
cause usually by the time the fight begins its lower
its just good for ult charge really
Take your tongue kissing to dms. Your filling the chat with filth
Jel is
sorry
20% dmg doesn't matter

heard it here first
this just in: silver player thinks they know shit
I'm not the one saying 20 charge doesn't change how far down you decay 
I haven't seen a single good take from you imma be honest... what are y'all even arguing about
i cant wait for gladiators to close this one out and not get swept
Arguing about ow2 zarya or something
ahh yes
it started because I said a lot of teams are still sloppy and make mistakes like giving away free charge when they don't have to
despair
caause in the midfight when a zarya has that extra 20 charge that at this point is 5 at best
my team
it really makes a hig difference
they made sure they didnt get swept by falling one map
for sure
That's true, obviously they're sloppy on their first season on ow2
I never denied its sloppy, just the way this mf thinks it is is wrong
lol
its cute tbh
you act like a bit of a douche
apparently I 1. didn't see people continue to shoot at bubble until it expired on time, 2. don't know that you're always supposed to shoot bubble no matter what even if the bubble isn't accomplishing anything and 3. don't know that 20-40% extra damage doesn't change anything
thats it
i would not be mad if dallas win this map with this comeback
GLADS
that would be awesome
again never said that but go off
GG
So ez
Fuel and shock both moving to the losers bracket same day

Dallas sucks
gg
gg dallas washed
Gladiators reign match up hmm
YES
bruhhh
gg
oof
Glads are good team
Brackets are fully busted
Ayyyyyy
Lets gooooooooooo
what was it, you accused me of mistaking gold vods for owl games when I mentioned that
Fuck the fueeel
a sad day for a shock v dallas final lmao
fuck yall
Like I said, I think zarya comps struggle vs really good tracers
@cedar oasis 
Dalass shock both mid teams
Fuck you fuelll
pick ems are truly boomed
glads ugliest team in the league
Me predding fuel 3-0 glads 🤡
yeah as a joke to make fun for you for being a dumbass, if you can't connect that than idk
Your team sucks😂😂😂😂
literally my pick ems were in the reverse
Yeah Zarya comps aren’t great but Hanbin is by quite a large margin the best player in the server if he’s on Zarya which is what Dallas want
lmfao
🤡 SHIELDS 🤡 UP🤡
