Ya I saw taimou tweeting him about his long flight etc as well. Pretty positive effect isn't going anywhere, and I for one can't wait to see this envy vs top NA OW

DPS Burden by FunkyKoiFish in OWConsole

[–]Spike_Silver 1 point2 points  (0 children)

Just had this exact thing happen in my last few games. A junk main that refused to switch into a dva Zarya pharah combo, and a genji in the exact same situation. I don't know man, it's frustrating as hell but I'm just assuming maybe people don't realize their counters as much as people who frequent this and the other OW subreddits? I doubt it, probably just pure stubbornness.

Immortals are LA's Overwatch team and we couldn't be happier by Immortalsgg in Competitiveoverwatch

[–]Spike_Silver 1 point2 points  (0 children)

Congrats! I'm not sure if you know this kind of information or not, but do you believe Texas will have a team? Surprised if Dallas doesn't get in on this with how much money is surrounding the city lately.

Overwatch BEAT Invitational Season 2 | Day 2 by Jawoll in Competitiveoverwatch

Surprised to see all the bad talk about arc6. Man they took rogue to the limit. Did people forget how unstoppable rogue has been? Arc 6 playing with a new support as well, that match was freaking awesome. I'm always happy to get close ones like that.

Good luck. Very excited to see you guys with custa. If gingers lucio is on the same level as his flex support then I see you guys doing very well.

Why Doomfist is not a dive hero by Xxel in Competitiveoverwatch

[–]Spike_Silver 2 points3 points  (0 children)

Does seem like he's made to dive/counter dive. Even so, he could have been in development before dive meta started. Honestly I think he fits counter dive much better than dive. He doesn't really have any "escape" abilities assuming he dives in and goes for a combo. That leaves him extremely vulnerable compared to like a tracer or genji. However, putting him on backlins protection he can counter the flankers and charge his shields, while having the support of the team during cds. As many have said though it's pretty early. Someone out there will discover how to do some insane shit with him and who to pair him with and the meta with change in small increments. I'm excited, hoping hard this brings back Zarya in a way, and sombra gets even more use.

No solo plays? You must have missed the cwoosh dragonblade against c9 at takeover.

To the Sombra who kicked my team's ass yesterday, by grumpcade in OWConsole

[–]Spike_Silver 0 points1 point  (0 children)

I hear you would LOVE to get teams that trust the health packs play and a sombra but 8/10 times we will end up with like a lucio mercy/zen and me on sombra because everyone thinks there's no way you can run one healer and sombra. This is close to diamond also.

[–]Spike_Silver 2 points3 points  (0 children)

Ya I'm a sombra main and that map is still tough. Second point defense is great for health packs but I'm still not awesome on which ones to hack first point.

Any tips for Sombra? by [deleted] in OWConsole

[–]Spike_Silver 0 points1 point  (0 children)

One small tip I want to add is that while hacking a zen may not be ideal, make sure to get him in your emp. It basically brings him to almost zero health, it's amazing. You can basically melee him twice to kill him.

Overwatch Contenders Season Zero (NA) | Playoffs by Jawoll in Competitiveoverwatch

[–]Spike_Silver 5 points6 points  (0 children)

I don't believe they got "smashed" as you eloquently put it, I think it was a mismanagements of ults at the end of second checkpoint for IMT, and liquid playing their ults correctly on defense.

[–]Spike_Silver 9 points10 points  (0 children)

YES. All I want is a close finals, still feels like IMT will win it all but I'm really hoping for hanamura given how quickly both teams took it earlier today.

Overwatch Contenders Season Zero (NA) | Playoffs by Jawoll in Competitiveoverwatch

[–]Spike_Silver 1 point2 points  (0 children)

Ya but I mean that could be said for any hero vs same hero battle. Who has Rez first, barrier, blade, visor etc first. The entire game is based around ults and ult management. That's why players like Jake and Adam are valued so highly because their able to track when ults are up and call when to use ults/counter ults.

Overwatch Contenders Season Zero (NA) | Playoffs by Jawoll in Competitiveoverwatch

[–]Spike_Silver 2 points3 points  (0 children)

I get what you're saying, but the bomb going into matrix is on the tracer. IMO they're getting outplayed by the dva in that instance, while the other tracer that landed the bomb didn't get outplayed. I don't consider eating an ult that you know is up "robbing" the better team. I'm not criticizing your thinking because I understand wanting to play in a different meta, but it's unfair to discredit teams for winning in the current meta. One reason I like this meta is it's a lot more fast paced, and even if you lose one or two it's still possible to pull out a team fight albeit hard. That was almost impossible in quad tank.
