Torb+Sym is sickening to watch. So this is definitely a problem even at high levels :/
I was right in the call that Sym was taking the Lucio spot, I think. Makes sense really.

He actually used to be known for his Pharah I believe. You can't play TF2 for that long and not be good with aiming rockets.

fuck this stream....its so bad
<edit> LOL did one of them get a Group invite during the match?

Symmetra's generator is stupid. I hope blizzard is watching this. Like I'm ok iwht Symmetra helping deal with tanks but that unkillable generator has to go or the range needs to be cut in half
He had a Zen for a while too. The good old days.

He was a pretty good roamer back in tf2, that's for sure.
Unfortunately, that's not going to be of much use vs Surefour's soldier. it seems

Can't believe he did that twice.
Or just play Tracer/Genji/Sombra and kill it?

Jesus NRG sucks.

Damn, good round for NRG.
Go ahead and try to kill it as any of those three and come back to me.
you really think Tracer and Genji are gonna rip through 600 hp shield generators without alerting Symmetra who hard counters Genji? You're never going to do enough damage to the generator and when you run away from Symmetra(assume she hasn't locked it with some sentries) her generator is almost entirely shields. It regenerates by the time she goes back to leaving the generator unguarded.
The idea of Genji or Tracer having the DPS to even remotely countering that thing is a joke. It takes a full Sombra clip point blank to kill it. If you dont kill it on your push, it'll just regenerate.

Suck up snow from a sparkling snow pile to reload dude.
My first round of a match I didnt know how to reload either, lol.
Funnily enough, Reaper is one of the few characters that can reliably destroy it and come out of the Symmetra engagement safely. Unfortunately he doesn't have the ability to flank as easily as Tracer/Genji do and he's pretty much garbage against the rest of the team.

Yeah, C9 def has the better supports
Reaper would be the ideal solution to a lot of these problems with Symmetra because he could not only kill her sentries, bait her to the generator, kill her before she kills him then kill the generator. But then he can't get out. Even with shields and torb armor cheese he could wraithform her beam and assumedly it would make her power go down and he'd finish her off.
Maybe if Shadowstep wasn't slow as fuck.
I imagine they build around Seagull's Dragonstrike which is an unsung hero right now due to the popularity of Rein and DVa but he needs something to combo it with and I don't think Hanzo has enough to justify him other than just the Dragon for these tank heavy teams. And Scatter Arrowing DVas but these adderall infused DVas are painfully good at DMing those at higher ranks

How do you lose a fight with 6 ults.

C9 had the better support/tank play throughout the fights and were able to mitigate every ult as they came in.

But you don't get one snowball per round. Giving you 1 shot at a time is risk/reward because of the reload process.
oh well. Still sad because NRG has good players and they beat FaZe in the last WGE thing. They sometimes show up something nice, but then they make the biggest flubs ever.
Roolf's positioning was nice. In that fight you could see him be on his own on the other side of the graviton thanks to him being behind the wall. When the fight broke down after that Ryb played around the space he was given and made the Earthshatter have high impact at the end of the fight. That subtle spacing made it so 3 ults dumped only ended in a dead Ana.

Annnd done. It's 400 HP, the Pulse Bomb insta-kills it with a half-second's exposure to Sym's microwave room, and Tracer is so perfectly effective at it that it was causing enemy Syms to rage quit last night ^.^ and half the time Sym is in there with the generator, and you get a two-for-one.
Maybe... Give it a shot?

Also man, american teams are so boring. At least the korean teams are willing to experiment beyond 4 tanks.
Wyndstryker

This is also probably why the western meta may seem so stale, and why korean players have a wider game sense. Experimentation goes a long way to knowing whats possible and while finding one little detail here and there doesn't seem much, once you find alot of them it adds to the bigger picture.
I'll give it a shot in a bit. Did you try it on Point B or Point A? Because Point B is a nightmare now. She can drop it in places that only Sombra can get into without getting completely mangled.
He will probably go to that eventually. It's probably an easier schedule. He could easily be the most popular OW streamer on Twitch if he did it more but I think he likes the eSports aspect a lot even though he could be wealthy off streaming high level comp. Which I find respectable.

Yeah, people don't pay nearly enough attention to that shit at the desk. I think tanks/supports don't get acknowledgement outside of ults
Like how often do you see something like that where no one knows how a team won a fight, and you realize that Rein/Ana made a play while you were looking elsewhere at one of the dps players?

Part of why I like DSPStanky's streaming as Lucio is his positioning. Like he does the highlight vids of his boops and wall riding but he shows so many positions I didnt even think of that only Lucio can get to as a healer that not only give him height advantage, a better view of the action but also he can easily duck things like self destruct
Just get in, drop the bomb, rewind out. The hard part is usually finding it. As soon as the turrets activate, Sym will come for you - in and out!

To be fair I forgot to mention CoL, who do seem to prefer experimenting instead of playing the tank meta.
I know. By round I mean ammo, sorry about that.
At the present moment I just find the brawl frustrating more than anything else. The idea is neat but I feel the execution is lacking.
I'll give it a few more days though. My feelings may be down to my tiredness more than anything. Maybe it'll click later on.
He's said he doesn't really care about the money. He knows he could be making over a 100g a year streaming but prefers the esports life.

Man my night has been terrible. So many Soldiers who absolutely fail at countering Pharah, and people not dealing with Teleporters and Generators
When evil runs out of victims to feast on, it will begin eating itself.
