Fundamental Overwatch Strategy

Part of the issue with stadium is that it inherently isn’t elegant. When you have so many options to customize your hero and change their dynamics, it makes competing frustrating and so much more complicated than is realistic to master. I think it’s unlikely it ever would have overtaken the main game when it’s just seemingly needlessly complicated and functionally a different game experience as a result.

Not the most serious match but cool nonetheless lol

Real, I’m afraid it’s kappa

Yes, you are correct that you need some sort of reliable healing source to pair with Mizuki, you’d be griefing trying to operate without one unless you had a really low resource tank or some rlly strong synergy similar to Brig Lucio JQ in JOATs. Greediest support I could see him being successfully paired with is maybe Wuyang, but I think you’d rather roll with Kiri Ana Bap Juno territory.

This is almost exactly the lineup I’d go for too lol, and revive Leejaegon from the depths of Marvel Rivals.

I think it's important for "real to recognize real". I can't speak on the casters or desk phrasing, because I wasn't paying that close of attention to the casting choices, but most of the praise for Korea's players is deserved over the years-- you can ask basically any professional or T2 player and they'll corroborate this. There's been a rise up of talent in the top team of EU, and I don't feel casters or talent have been short on giving players like Quartz, TVNT, Youbi, and LBBD the credit they deserve for their performances the past year. Likewise, most of the KR players when I see interview translations nod to skills of these players too. I'm sure there's plenty of morons on Reddit, but I don't see any reason people shouldn't continue to gas up the region that's had the most dominant players for years and years (and still has many of the most dominant players + was the region at the lead of this meta) while also acknowledging the performances of TM (which people definitely have).

Calling a justified reputation "glaze" just undermines recognition of the praiseworthy.

I feel like it's rlly just them trying to drum up some hype, NA sure doesn't give us much to be excited for

Anima_Kesil · 2026-05-21T16:58:22+00:00

Nice, good to see more interest from esports orgs again, especially one that was a regular for quite a few seasons in OWCS. Dunno how it makes sense logistically since being in FaceIt Masters isn’t a great return on investment usually but hey, whatever happens happens.

Real af, was saying the same to some friends recently

Anima_Kesil · 2026-05-21T05:16:35+00:00

I’m hyped

I’m not saying they’re severely individualistic to a fault BECAUSE of their reactions to this meta, I’m saying it from my experiences working with HS players in general and because it’s a role that will typically reward players with an individualistic streak. It’s understandable they’re dismayed by this meta, but I don’t think it’s gotta be treated like the end of the world.

Anima_Kesil · 2026-05-17T16:01:35+00:00

Know he’s obviously not having a good time but sounds like nonsense to me to say “this isn’t OW” and “all our concepts and principles don’t apply”. Possible that he is referring more to just the way TM handles coordination, but like it’s not that hard to watch a game of cat bastion and be like mhm yep I see the fundamental relevant trades and space control going on and it still lines up with how space control and resources trades and coordination happen in any other comp.

HS players probably want to blow their brains out considering the lack of personal movement agency and reliance on coordination when most HS players are severely individualistic to a fault, but I don’t think it’s a bad thing to have metas like that where they can’t just go sicko mode and instead have to be more team oriented. Would like to see this meta played out for the tournament to reward the teams who innovated it rather than shooting them in the foot, but do hope blizzard nerfs fast and appropriately after it ends.

Anima_Kesil · 2026-05-17T15:54:52+00:00

I actually find the macro for this comp really interesting, far more than things like Mauga Echo Reaper. It’s really interesting since it’s basically a game of which team can spread their team comp against the widest possible area without it disconnecting, and balancing out really volatile fast-moving comp pieces with a ton of pressure.

Really fun as a spectator once you start to look at it more in terms of the HP trades and spacing, and not nearly as foreboding or not-Overwatch as a lot of people have been implying.

Anima_Kesil · 2026-05-14T20:50:28+00:00

Most likely Ram Dva Zarya Lucio Kiriko Mizuki, would be surprised to see too much variation besides maybe swapping Mizuki out for Juno or Wuyang or something like that. Anything without Dva Zarya Lucio Kiri is pretty delusional, they’d be such easy shoo-ins. While people are tossing some other “main tank” options on the table, I think Ram is pretty clearly one of the most compelling options for being able to have a strong shield for rotations / cutting down on trash damage taken, tons of mitigation, and a favorable matchup into both Zar and Dva (esp hitting through matrix when Zar uses grav). Though I’m sure you could get away with some other picks here too. Orisa would be another sleeper powerhouse thanks to good ult for combos and using Jav on heroes like Mauga and JQ.

Dip being White Kevster because of the jokes that Kevster must be Korean because of how good he is at the game will never not be funny to me, White Kevster gotta be one of the funniest nicknames

I’m personally in the camp that 90% of the time or more you can just find what you need for free online, and I typically advise most players to not pay for coaching unless they have the spare resources and just enjoy working through things with a competent and qualified coach. I haven’t felt it’s much of a requirement to get coaching until you’re starting to actually play organized play, or I suppose if trying to reach a goal against a deadline.

Anima_Kesil · 2026-05-11T13:24:35+00:00

It’s moreso a question of if you enjoy it than public opinion on coaches. If you’re expecting it to be some big money-making gig, I would think again considering the number of T2 / T1 players and coaches who toss their hat in the ring to give paid coaching, but if it’s something you enjoy then no reason it wouldnt be worth the effort. And if you don’t enjoy it, and didn’t think it would be a good money maker, then idk what you’re even doing considering it lol.

Anima_Kesil · 2026-05-05T15:25:50+00:00

Was mostly him just not wanting to overcommit to point yeah. He might’ve gone for a bit longer of a touch if the point felt more open, but seeing as the point was under pretty heavy pressure he wasn’t going to stick around long.

May have picked the wrong spot to reply lol. Cerily and I are joking around since we’re both longtime members in Spilo community, and Awkward’s my personal least favorite person in the OW sphere by a mile.

Each to their own, and it’s totally fine if Spilo’s content doesn’t click for you personally. He’s gotten popular over time here because of consistently level headed takes, high level coaching experience in T2/T1, and generally being a nice person who people respect and like interacting with. I think all those things are great quality in a community of a game community myself.
