A good Widow can be really deadly to the other team you know.

Those don't exist on console, unless their on the other team.

they exist and yes, they're usually on the other team. i don't believe there are any Widow mains here.

People LOVE running in 1v6 in QP and Arcade. Sometimes I sit around the corner and watch my teammates die.

how else are you going to get that sick POTG for reddit?

 

[Jellie]

Geez the buzzing noise coming from their mics. They think twitch chat is trolling them complaining about the buzz too.

This tournament has been ran terribly. It sucks because I want them to do well but all I can think of when I watch is how "Halo 5" tier it has been.

I actually tried practicing Widow at some point, but gave up on it.

I think I even discussed it few OTs back.

 

[cyborg009]

Those D.va staggers are insane.

 

[Newtype-001]

Spirit plays like a soloq Genji

 

[Antiwhippy]

Nico having a real pogchamp day today.

Yeah you need a genji hard carry (or at least have someone be able to flex to genji hard carry) in this meta.

 

[Jellie]

These NA Genji ults

These NA Genji ults

Those dash resets are the KEYS.

Pro-metas where Genji is played often are always the best metas.

 

[NeoRaider]

I really hope they announce new hero tomorrow. And maybe more content. Would be cool.

I was talking about spirits genji there. Nicos genji was so good. Eu genji ults for him.
The punch from uNKOE on spirit's dragonblade was nice.
He just kept getting shut down within a second of ulting.

 

[Newtype-001]

spirit probably thought he could carry should have left it to Retzi

This is the first pro Overwatch I've caught in a while. Why is everyone suddenly doing 3-DPS and Winston?

Korean teams have better teamwork and better tank players straight up. Western teams tend to have better DPS players and better playmakers. It's just a regional playstyle thing. The Koreans have proven how good trip tank is still, but trip DPS and dive is still good. Most NA teams don't have good XP using or playing against trip tank anyways so why bother messing with it if you aren't going to Korea.

Lucio/Rein with dive is actually still really good. It just plays spacing slower and is a bit different.

Just gonna quote Anne's response to the same question from yesterday.

I'm wondering that as well...

I know Winston shield and his jump makes makes him viable.

Just what the pros think works best now that the triple tank meta is over, especially on King of the Hill.

 

[Alucrid]

grim x agilities too good

 

[TWrecks310]

Grim's Soldier plays at the end of that round, whew.

Shadowburn is playing so poorly.

Shadowburn is playing so poorly.

Seems to be whoever manages to take out the other genji better wins.

 

[KanameYuuki]

I hope they buff a bit D.Va, she is just so weak, I can understand less armor since she was godlike before but now she can hardly accomplish anything, tanks should be deadly close range but her spread is so big not even up close she is a threat and everyone is so used to her ult I think I'm the only one who still dies with it.

 

[Skii]

These 3 DPS comps are so much more interesting than that triple tank bollocks. So many times we've seen teams go all out 4v6 with DPS ults and the fights are a lot more unpredictable because of it.

Seems to be whoever manages to take out the other genji better wins.

Yeah Shadowburn did a lot better in that final round.

 

[Antiwhippy]

FCTFICTION saved that.

 

[Zel3]

Turn off skirmishes. I believe that makes it last longer.

I've been told that Skirmishes make it take longer.

Wait time should be ~1 minute for quick play.

Whaaat?! I'm turning that off then lol.

This changes everything!

I'm going to do that tonight, hopefully it helps with MM times.

Apparently her DM buff on PTR is really good.
Quote from IDQDD on his stream "Dva is aids again? Yes she is". :/

 

[Antiwhippy]

Shadowburn is good, but he's already been surpassed by quite a number of genjis already honestly. KR genjis especially. WhoRU is nuts.

That's good news, but like everything in this game a double edge sword.

Remember when IDDQD said "Sombra is going to so overpowered omg"

Really? I wouldn't have expected a little extra DMing to make that much difference

Well, the more effective D.Va is, the happier I am. Still wish she could eat Soldier's health thing tho.

Really? I don't see much difference between the EU and KR Genjis. Shadowburn is just using dragon blade at the end of fights for some reason lol.

 

[Jellie]

Didn't know that. He also said Roadhog is a mega buff now since his right click is now really good and hook is still strong. Bastion got banned from scrims for being too OP.

Thing about KR genjis to me is that they're so good at getting massive kills without dragonblade.

 

[TWrecks310]

This is the final nail in the coffin for me that they need to tone Bastion back before he goes live. I wondered if pros would still be able to counter him if a big part of his kit had him stationary, but apparently not. At least not enough to make him reasonable.
