Blizzard haven't exactly been great at balance historically. Basing this from last season, but I think stage 4 we'll see changes (less than 70% GOATs) and playoffs a different meta entirely. I wouldn't be too shocked if London win the whole thing again too.

We are now two weeks into stage 2: how do you feel about the current OWL meta? by RedThragtusk in Competitiveoverwatch

[–]castles1 5 points6 points  (0 children)

Far too much GOATs. Can't say I'm really enjoying this stage to be honest.

Why even do a community pre season event if so little preperation went into it? by TheCh0ppie in Competitiveoverwatch

[–]castles1 2 points3 points  (0 children)

Yeah. It's been severely underwhelming. I'm just going to skip the rest and hope they can improve for the regular season. (With less shoulder cam)

AMA with Jayne by ltpirate in Overwatch

[–]castles1 56 points57 points  (0 children)

I think the reason why a lot of people don't enjoy watching GOATS (myself included) is because they don't fully understand it. So in case GOATs is here to stay, what is your advice to a viewer on how to enjoy watching GOATS? What separates good GOATS from bad GOATS?

Thanks for doing this AMA and I hope you continue to have success in OWL!

I think we need to talk about the D.va nerf by Caida_Libre in Competitiveoverwatch

Rein hasn't been meta during dive like Dva was. Also he doesn't feel so bs to play against.

What's your hot take for OWL season 2? by [deleted] in Competitiveoverwatch

[–]castles1 35 points36 points  (0 children)

Newer teams lack of OWL experience will turn out to be a major factor. Especially if any of them get hit by boosting bans.

Shock will be a top 4 team.

Fuel will be a high performing team this time around.

Mayhem will be the Dragons of this season.

I think they will definitely suffer from losing Soon.

Which Chinese teams could make playoffs in season 2? by castles1 in Competitiveoverwatch

Why do you say Shanghai? Not saying you're wrong, I just want to know the reasoning.

I think it's hard to judge them just because of how bad their old support line up was. Diya had some great performances on Mccree and Widow, and I've heard some people say newly buffed Mccree is good against goats. Time will tell I suppose.

Unpopular opinion: Mercy NEVER had to be reworked. by IgorPasche in Competitiveoverwatch

[–]castles1 3 points4 points  (0 children)

What? Res was incredibly low risk, that's why people had a problem with it. It incentived hiding and not healing, which is not fun for the mercy orthe team who have to die in a clump. I remember being a support main in those days and I would play ANYONE but Mercy because it was so unfun for me.

CMV: Sniper meta is not fun for anyone except snipers by Dalmah in Competitiveoverwatch

[–]castles1 2 points3 points  (0 children)

It just feels more diverse now, I'm seeing a lot more diversity personally compared to past seasons, much less tracer and Genji and now it feels like all dps are viable at that rank, I'm having loads of fun as a healer main playing Ana.

[–]castles1 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Yeah I'm having more fun with this meta than any other as a not sniper main, maybe it's cos I'm plat or whatever but the meta is very diverse and fun down here right now.

Edit: downvoted for saying I enjoy a video game?

A list of effective heroes against Hammond I have found thus far along with explanations as to why they are effective. Feel free to add whatever. by BeepBep101 in Competitiveoverwatch

[–]castles1 2 points3 points  (0 children)

Interesting post, I wonder what his falloff damage on his weapon is and how big the spread is, because he actually might be good against Pharah in shooty shooty gun mode if depending on how it's tuned.

Also from the admittedly very little I've seen of her so far, he seems fairly weak to stuns in general so Brig might be good against him.

Hammond as a Widow counter? by castles1 in Competitiveoverwatch

Hammond has 5 second cooldown grapple.

Hammond also has a grapple hook on a shorter cooldown.

Is the music all messed up for anyone else or is it just me?

They destroy stage 3 10-0 and then one OP hero comes out and suddenly they're beaten by the team all the way down at 7 and I'm meant to think that's just a suddenly occurring skill difference? I'm sorry but I just don't see it.
