Literal peak game if done right. It’s crazy how poor the fundamentals are of Marvel Rivals and Deadlock compared to OW. OW engine is timeless.

If GOATS didn’t last a 1.5 years it would be remembered as one of the best metas of all time. When you played it at a high level or in a stacked ranked game you were at war. Sucks they decided to change the format instead of addressing the singular hero enabling this.

Hey everyone. Moving on from Overwatch. To keep it short I’ve fallen out of love for the game and esport. I’ve stopped playing the game entirely a few months ago and stopped caring. OW esports is dead to play full time and I’ve lost all dopamine from the game post season 9 health changes after 8 years of playing. Regardless the real, more important reason is that I couldn’t justify playing any longer if the scene has less money in it than Contenders 2019. Even back then there was the grind to OWL which would 100% be monetarily worth it. I will be focusing on school and am excited for my future. Never say never to coming back if changes are made but I must focus on my real future now. I’ve had so many amazing memories over the years from grinding open to contenders to my 4 years in OWL. GGs ty everyone for letting me living this part of my life, ty path to pro, ty all my teammates and coaches, ty OWL and ty Overwatch (the first one) 🤭

6v6 today reminded me how challenging Overwatch once was. The game is so much more mentally stimulating. Every role is incredibly powerful. Unfortunately there is no ranked and probably many players enjoying rivals meaning I don’t expect it to retain players over weeks.

Lost my team the final fight. Should have won, my bad. GGS FUN STAGE

Some players just aren't meant for the natural raw talent and skill required for 6v6. SAD!

Top 3 Blunders of my OW Career: 1) 99 to bomb map 7 2) dead with doom ult blizz world 2nd defense 2023 playoffs vs london 3) doom punch into illios well map 5 outlaws

not sure if there’s been a worse week in my entire life in and out of ow im sorry we couldn’t win it all these events you really get to value the friends you made over the years this week was the definition of wipe over and really messed me up, the future can only be better

Can anyone let me know which one of these heroes kills Echo with Mercy pocket???

Thanks for letting me playtest Season 2, it means a lot to be a part of it. Here are some average clips from the 2 games I played as Ramattra. His ult is insane and completely unavoidable during checkpoint and overtime fights. His kit is very fluid.

ty for warmup ggs @SFShock

It doesn’t feel real after so many years. None on my teammates are overrated, all properly rated as the best. I’m sorry for losing my map today. I will play even better next stage. Ggs @Outlaws ily @PELICAN_75

20% is unreal with how many die hard fans like myself queue less than 5 games a season because it’s not the main mode There’s a large amount of OW players that refuse to touch anything not role queue

Been playing OW over winter beak and Hazard is right up there with most OP tank ever released. Right next to Sigma. He’s like beta doom without the skill or risk requirement I think only reason Sigma remains on top is because somehow he launched with a 1500 HP shield

2025 OW looks great. Perks are cool. 6v6 comp. Rank portraits. More cool heroes. Would love to see a full moba mode if stadium does well with lanes and pve assets. Third person looks better implemented already than competitors which surprised me to see how natural it looks.

I love video games holy moly

Love seeing tank players actually die for their mistakes in 6v6. You get one tapped for playing like a moron (besides ball). Tank players have gotten way too comfortable doing nothing on a corner or objective with a million HP and passive value.

Knew since June Joust that team was going to be the hardest to beat. Ggs @ShanghaiDragons you guys deserve it so much. Only team in the world that is that incredibly flexible with such high mechanics. It was an awesome season, break time now.

HOLY SHIT HOLY SHIT. #mirrorthedive Fucking Sp9rk1e Hanbin sooooooo good. Squashing the EM beef. I apologize for BM earlier just was hyped up and wanted to keep energy high for second match. Ggs @DallasFuel

Very excited for this opportunity. I know we will do very well. Excited to work and play with old teammates and new faces. I’ve been around for a while at this point but am still more motivated than ever. 🦦

This is the first good patch since Midseason 22. All dive tanks feel viable. AFK sit on the cart ground tanks feel much weaker besides Sigma. Some hitboxes are egregious. The moment these dive tanks are overshadowed by AFK ground tanks this version of OW goes to WOAT status.

it’s hard to enjoy Hawaii after coming out here for zero points. Should have won KR no excuses but man that Glads win means literally nothing now. That win means less than if we RNGd a better schedule and played more franchise filler teams in the regular season.

FA OWCS LF ORG @Thee_Hawk @ow_spectra @KingHydron @Lep_ow @Renko_OW Coach @g8r Emergency Sub @ow_nero Manager @Urzo__

We are so close to having visual SR back. Please bring it back for players once they are in Champ. It is the last major downgrade from OW1 to OW2. PLEASE 🫶

W? Is this real? Testing less severe versions of role lock and 6v6? Everything I have been asking for right after I break the addiction. L..

(Hot take) quick play queue times shouldn’t be longer than the quick play games themselves 3 days after release.

Rank 1 no comms yurning to scrim this version of the game

Going 50/50 at one event should warrant enough concern about gameplay. Seeing 6v6 nearly double 5v5 at the next event is wild. It answers all of our questions on why it’s not in the game. It isn’t just an arcade playlist worth of players. It’s an entire playerbase potentially.

Feels good to be back. Ggs What’s next @overwatchleague 👀

g to the g @UnterOW

OW esports was infinitely more hype when two Reinhardts were going at it trying to put the other team on their backs. I’m sorry but I just don’t get hyped when an Orisa uses a Terra surge or a Ram presses a button to do 30 extra dps

Let me get this straight, I now have to kill a raid boss AFK ground tank and 2 OP supports MORE often now? What would it take just to try an experimental 6v6 patch? Bring back the higher skill ceiling and the skill expression variety of 6v6 pls Let the community decide

Can’t beat the 800 2 perfect zarya player, circuit so close. Had some bad calls. Ggs @DallasFuel @HanBin_OW MVP

I hope blizzard implements solo casting so I hype up that change 🔥 🔥 🔥

The causes are pretty obvious. The current automated report system is a major issue for anyone that wants to play what's left of teamwork. There are also long term consequences of turning a team game into a deathmatch game.

Not under contract or team obligations. Just there for emergencies as unforeseen things can happen on high ping for regular season. Fully focused on school as my semester started 🤓

Last 5 years have been incredible. Want to thank the management and owners for always supporting and trying to win. Truly an unforgettable experience getting to live my dream.

If they want triple dps every game just delete role queue and there you go, you fixed queue times. Why force a chaotic deathmatch when we played 2 years just fine until they decided to release Moira and Brig which broke healing and tanking.

We need a Ramattra level dive tank. Hazard was close but we need something easier that has no perceptible mechanical skill gap for that role Only then will main tank players feel the pain any time some sort of skillful offtank/ground tank hero becomes close to viable

Gatekeepers of Hawaii ggs @SFShock I will be better at sig

One less tank and more than half of them being useless at any given time will do that. In 6v6, team play could win you games if there was a mechanic deficit. Now in 5v5, someone has a few bad deaths or someone is just that much better at X hero it’s ggs.

Lost to Hawk Rine<3 You seeing this? @UnterOW @hadi_ow @Reinforce @g8r Ggs @LAGladiators Let’s go Korea

Put it in ranked for Season 15🙏 Please get me off low skill Overwatch (marvel rivals). 🥺

6v6 Tierlist - kinda in order but not much thought into that because heroes are situational

Good to be back. Learning something new about Doom every day. Most fun hero in the game. Ggs @FLMayhem

Took 8 matches for me to finally get my mirror. Respect for @SFShock for squaring up. Gg

Overwatch may not have rotational aim assist on PC but they do have skill assist with Ramattra Orisa and Mauga 🔥

Ggs @Outlaws 3-0 People call us delusional for not playing dive but everyone else is delusional thinking they will beat APAC in dive mirror anyway if you are not Dallas LOL.

Doomfist domination Ggs @NYExcelsior

Finally won a map 5, finally beat Element Mystic. Sorry for Gibraltar troll.

Role lock and 5v5 are the worst things Overwatch ever added. Preferred role queue where the matchmaker quickly tries for 2 of each role with a minimum of 1 tank 1 dps 1 support would have made the game infinitely better. Player agency was removed with both role lock and 5v5.

Tuning into OWCS Finals to find out who the BEST Mauga right now is. I want to see some MECHANICAL DOMINATION. 😏

Lucio bap just spawning into the meta in the last 48 hours. 90% sure people only started picking it because they realized it was good in ranked LOL and that they couldn’t get 1 tapped by dva. Still should have won more maps ggs we qual

hopefully they cook something good up for next year but I don’t think it’s end of world for me at this point

Doomfist

The fact that I have options besides literally just walking to the OBJ with stats and passives makes the game dynamic. Turning a 5v6 is a fun challenge rather than dumb tilting luck trying to turn a 4v5

Do this in OW2. Bap will 5 man shift his team, zen 225 will kick you away, the tank will not get knocked back, has more HP and probably just CC the juggle with a stun or boop. Keep in mind that the enemy hanzo traded 2 kills and probably won his team the fight in OW2 as well.

Holy shit ggs. Don’t act like any other team could do this while still being almost all NA. All ATL players, coaches, staff, and management deserve all the credit. We aren’t done yet.

Ramat😴💤… Let me buy T1 Doom, Hazard and whatever hero I please 🙏 Do you want my money or not? 💵

28-0 and our last GOATS match ever. Can't wait for people to find out that we only have been practicing 2/2/2 and we are 10x better than we ever were at goats.

You should be worried it’s a buff and the impending nerf to make him worse than he is before this. Happens every time

atl vs florida with import locks. we go again tomorrow. sweaty match. ggs

I swear open queue has to have a correlation to skin sales. I’ve been buying and equipping cosmetics for heroes I’ve never had to care about a single time because I’m not playing for 3 different ratings. Sometimes you have to flex to win and find heroes you enjoy

Finally OW classic brings back a patch that didn't suck at the time it was released Lower hp and fast ults feels so snappy. It is not talked about enough how after S9, you only really have to aim with movement keys Next classic I would like to see is MSM 2022 (Yes a 5v5 patch)

Queue times are still not a fair and conclusive argument while they are the best and only real argument. give 6v6 free to play, seasonal content, reduced cc, jq, tank doom, mauga, ram and the orisa rework. I promise queue times wildly improve as the tank population increases. (Ow2 heroes would be adjusted through a patch obviously) We can not possibility think people willing to play tank wouldn’t increase to help queue times with those changes compared to dead OW1. Support was unpopular in the betas and s1 ow2. I waited in 15 min queue times on tank until they added quality of life and new heroes to the role. Never once did I think we should remove a support. The same can be argued for tank at the end of ow1.

3 TIME HAWAII TRAVELERS SECURE A BREAK AFTER CLEARING THEIR SINS FROM STAGE 1 (HARD) (GONE WRONG) Ggs @SeoulDynasty

God tier dev update. Let's just make Open Queue the main mode, remove hero pools, bring back 3 stack, and nerf/rework Brig and Moira.

They must have been expecting the Hunkey 👀@UnterOW ggs @SFShock lets go korea

I can’t believe there’s a chance I get to play patch 1.19c again…

4.7 on tank is a myth

Ggs @washjustice Meta just changing so fast

Laggiest match I’ve ever played, character models just jittering like crazy. Threw way to many fights esp first map. I was straight up aimbotting those knives tho Ggs @Spitfire

Blizzcon was fun once again. 4 years was too long. Chatted it up with so many people and dodged the virus while also not having a devastating loss in game 🦦

Ranked is great. Add the rank icon at the bottom left and don't let 5 solo queue play against 4-5 stacks. Add an indicator at the bottom left to see DPS passive debuff 🙏

One of those games where I just keep replaying the map over and over in my head. Needed to win that map. Would of had a good chance to get to map 5 if I didn’t start out so sloppy. We win tomorrow, can’t afford another loss. Ggs glads - both matches should be really good tmrw.

Ezzzzzzzzzz l

Serious team loses to for fun team when it matters most Ggs @LAGladiators

There is simply no reason for any DPS that is not signed to stay playing OW. Every time I go to Twitch and put on a DPS players stream there is around 50% or higher they are in queue. While there is also 100% chance they are not having fun.

Most tilting loss I’ve had all season ggs @ChengduHunters

S Tier Seats

Ggs @LAGladiators @ChengduHunters Bad way to end the regular season but we learned a lot and will come back ready for playoffs. Will feel good to go home and take a break from thinking about Overwatch for the first time in 4 months.

16 game regular season where some teams get to play awful teams twice more than others is probably more stressful than a 24-40 game season since every win matters and feels random off spawn.

It appears blizzard heard word of the fake ow2 workshop reaper-zarya meta takeover and decided to hook us all up with some new drip. HYPE! 💀

GM

You’re the goat just do whatever makes you happy

Ok this was obvious classic bait from me but everyone is making hero shooters where they don't feel nearly as good as Overwatch's gunplay or ability usage. Wasn't actually comparing Source vs Unreal vs OW engine but rather how these games feel TO ME in the hero shooter genre.

Inherently us beating Shock or Glads in our region in a playoff setting to qualify means less than if we just got to play Couver or Boston twice. Burnt out and stressed to secure top 3 now.

Ggs only. We went into this tournament not confident on anything and learned along the way. EM definitely deserve to win this. This is there meta practically. Really wanted to win b/c it’s probably the last time we are all going to be playing with each other.

Ok I no play 🦦

Where is Mauga????

I think Rein mirrors are kinda kappa too now. They haven’t really happened much but after the first neutral and the windows, mei ults and sym walls start getting whipped out - the fights aren’t really interesting or dependent on the Rein that much. Not comparable to the old rein brawl mirrors Ram has only gotten buffs to make him harder to punish as well since his release. The block and watch the sojourns duel it out strategy is not interesting. Since S9, if you try to make a play and do damage you end up just getting your team so far down. You have to wait until you can actually start punching now. I enjoyed the recent Mauga meta with his new shout because there were so many cool things you could do to get your team up in the fight. It was also refreshing to have an impactful ult that couldn’t be completely negated by fast charging supp ults. Obviously it was OP. Zarya brawl relies entirely upon having someone to bubble and is very snowbally Every single player on Orisa looks exactly the same. More than Mauga and Ram imo. The spears can be fun. That leaves 1 hero with queen having skill shots, aim, movement, and a risky ult. Not a good look for a game that so heavily has leaned into these tank designs. For 6 years I could tell you roughly who are the best players on every hero was. Now that we got heroes like Mauga, Orisa, Ram, and even somewhat Rein because no one wants to play it. I can’t tell you who the best Ram is. I can’t tell you who the best Orisa is. These heroes also rarely get played in other types of comps because of how one dimensional they are. NA and EU defaults to hivemind or poke because that it what they practiced for years in OW1 and those comps were much harder to execute properly. Unfortunately both brawl and poke are incredibly easier to execute in the sequel where most comps turn into Sojourn mirrors. Dive is the only comp that didn’t get incredibly easier that still requires you to pick the hardest heroes in the game - Winston Doom Tracer Brig… probably due to having to choose how to use your mobility requires more skill and is more punishing than using a “brawl” tank cooldown too early or late.

The devs shouldn’t have added 4-5 melee dps that are more fluid and require less healing than the tanks. Tanking in that game is worse than solo tank and any version of OW1. The options are clunky melee heroes or shitty versions of sigma. The designs just aren’t intriguing at all

Ggs @washjustice I respect taking the mirror full way through

LIP GAMING

Played very shaky but finally beat that team x2. You guys are insane and deserve a break. Ggs @DallasFuel Hopefully secured top 3 but will gatekeep Hawaii league points next week if needed 👿

ggs

I feel somewhere along the way Overwatch lost a lot of what made their heroes special and lost a lot of the fun chaos the game used to have This is the right direction and feels like the true launch of the sequel. Excited to dump many hours at midseason over spring break

We played like shit second match but at least I know I didn’t lose to no chumps... wow
