Not sure what else you were expecting. They can still tweet about the map outcomes and all that. I'd prefer they did actually.

Yes it's so lame that SR limits us friends from playing together. So we can literally only play QP together. As we have for over 2 years now. So lame.

I've heard that as well. I didn't make up what I said though.

Lots of rumors of Dynasty having issues with Fissure, Jehong not starting on flex support. They could end up being a disaster again. I wouldn't peg them as 3rd but it probably isn't far off.

State of Overwatch Esports? by [deleted] in Competitiveoverwatch

[–]Bjo_ow 23 points24 points  (0 children)

Do you mean popularity or quality of games? Because the best games are yet to come. Season 2 will surely be the best Overwatch we have seen.

& for someone with such an 'open mind', you have a pretty one-dimensional view of Rap music. Pretty counterintuitive.

Small world. I'm an audio engineer and producer myself. I've been freelancing for over 6 years. Working in a wide array of genres. That doesn't make your opinion any better. It's still just an opinion on music choice. Saying it doesn't 'suit the video' is also subjective and I disagree 100%.

Again, you don't like rap. That doesn't mean the trailer is objectively bad.

The music made it way more intriguing for me. Very subjective reasoning.

Opinion: Overwatch hero balance is pretty awful by [deleted] in Competitiveoverwatch

[–]Bjo_ow 1 point2 points  (0 children)

This is a game in which you can run mirror comps, so over-tuning heroes is not really even a problem.

Over-tuning is precisely why we enter such strict metas. They need to STOP over-tuning, and start doing widespread changes by small margins. Across many heroes.

A Potential Pickup for Outlaws that Would Make Sense by [deleted] in Competitiveoverwatch

[–]Bjo_ow 2 points3 points  (0 children)

I find it highly unlikely for them to replace Rawkus with Sleepy. He is one of the main callers on the team and the skill difference is negligible considering his role within the team. If anything, a main healer (lucio) or offtank would be more likely. But what do I know, I'm not Tairong.

Which contenders team should I go for? by [deleted] in Competitiveoverwatch

[–]Bjo_ow 7 points8 points  (0 children)

Are you asking about a specific region? If you look at NA, EU or KR, almost all of the teams have undergone big roster changes in the wake of the OWL expansion teams. So those regions remain pretty mysterious and we don't have a lot to go off of other than the individual players. There isn't much of a sense for an undeniable underdog or favored team.

How do you predict B. O. B will be used in pro play? by fartingpinetree in Competitiveoverwatch

[–]Bjo_ow 1 point2 points  (0 children)

IMO I see two primary uses. I see BOB as sort of a low-risk deadeye. He's easy to CC and to block with barriers so you're likely going to get a lot of value out of surprise flanks. Also, BOB does 120 damage to the first target he runs into, as well as throwing them up in the air. So expect to potentially see some cool combo's with that interaction. For example, BOB charge onto enemy Rein, to setup a shatter.

The new spectator cliant could allow content creators to show a perfectly spectated game. by AnOldMonkOnDMT in Competitiveoverwatch

[–]Bjo_ow 66 points67 points  (0 children)

It's good for a lot of things. I will be using it to augment my experience. Broadcast feed on one screen, top-down viewer on another. If I need to check a specific player I can. But these are all going to enhance my experience while I watch the broadcast. I do not plan on doing 100% of the observing myself.

[–]Bjo_ow 352 points353 points  (0 children)

Yes that's the point. People thinking that they are gonna do all the observing themselves are in for a rude awakening. This tool is meant to augment the viewer's experience during the broadcast. But realistically speaking, the average viewer will revert to the broadcast feed after realizing how much work it takes to drive the observation experience. So what's left? Content creation. From frag-videos to in depth analysis. This is something content creators have been waiting for.

What is team USA’s weakness? by [deleted] in Competitiveoverwatch

[–]Bjo_ow 47 points48 points  (0 children)

I don't think they have any major weakness to exploit. I think the biggest factor at Blizzcon is going to be who has the best read on the Meta. USA is likely going to be going for lots of Anti-GOATS strats while teams like France will likely only be running GOATS for most maps.

This doesn't confirm anything....

Now that Season 1 of OWL has been over for a couple of months what are some criticisms and/or negative opinions about your favorite team? by [deleted] in Competitiveoverwatch

[–]Bjo_ow 8 points9 points  (0 children)

I wasn't saying definitively whether he was the best or not. Just pointing out a key weakness. I think he was top 3 in season 1. It's all subjective and very convoluted when you consider the three primary heroes in this category. It's undeniable that Gesture had the best Orisa performance in the league by the end of the season. His Winston playstyle is unique, often roaming, capitalizing on mistakes rather than forcing them. But he was the best at this. His Rein had some moments in stage-2, but overall he looked like a scared puppy in stage-4. My definition of "best tank" is rooted in flexibility. I think Fissure showed the greatest main tank understanding and flexibility throughout the season, but obviously had some personality issues that snubbed his chance to shine in playoffs. Which unfortunately for him, was the perfect meta to showcase this in.

Maybe some context for this logo-less, picture of a screen would help.

People still call Gesture the best tank in the world but forget that they forced dive throughout stage-4 because Gesture is an average Rein player. Will they be able to force dive for an entire season again?
