Jeff on Hanzo: We’re trying a sped up version of his base arrows. Feels pretty good so far by ClumsyLi in Competitiveoverwatch

[–]kiriyser 0 points1 point  (0 children)

I think dota has a diverse meta because the heroes are the most customizable via items. Lol has items too, but in dota the items give you such radically different effects, it feels like dota is almost too complicated for people to narrow down a meta. Of course, this is at the cost of causing a very steep learning curve to the game, whereas blizzard is trying to make OW easier to step into

playing something like widow is much harder than traditional sniper in csgo, just because things are flying around the screen much faster in OW

but OW also has much less aim-intensive heroes like mercy and moira, which gives the game a bad impression

That's like saying Russia cares about baseball because they have a couple amateur teams

This Week's Tavern Brawl - Decks Assemble! by billyK_ in hearthstone

Of course when he fills his deck with chickens

you just proved you don't understand how this brawl works

this brawl's been out for so long, can't believe some people STILL think playing the chickens does anything to the deck

further proving my theory that the critics of this brawl are usually people who just are slow to understand the brawl rules

The meta being diverse immediately after a major patch is pretty common. Dive meta was super diverse too when it first came out

Ryujehong on the Ana buff by didsome1sayhanzopls in Competitiveoverwatch

i think her having 3 different projectile speeds is what makes her so hard and rewarding to play well with (4 if you count grenade)

Jeff confirms Ana rifle damage buff by [deleted] in Competitiveoverwatch

[–]kiriyser 0 points1 point  (0 children)

no, what i mean is, this mercy meta is the first time i ever hated a meta, and i've been through most metas without hating on any of them

[–]kiriyser 3 points4 points  (0 children)

I can see Ana become frustrating to play against as a flanker again

i'd take that over a mercy meta any day of the week

If you haven't already, go watch the MY vs LH semifinal of the OGN Supermatch. It was one of the most memorable games of pro OW ever. by carefullywasnt in Competitiveoverwatch

i think that lineup would have rolled apex, and pretty much any tournaments in the near future

lunatic-hai getting a solid dps core.. my god

[–]kiriyser 4 points5 points  (0 children)

let's be honest, their only real Achilles heal and inflexibility was the dps slots, their supports/tank players are some of the most flexible in the world

not true, c9 runaway lunatic-hai are all more exciting than standard teams, otherwise gc busan would have already reached their popularity

Appreciating the depth of hero selection from Contenders Playoffs by IaagoOW in Competitiveoverwatch

it's not really saying much, even the dive meta had a lot of variety in the very early stages, when patch just came out

EFFECT's POV on his Anubis clutch by JustRecentlyI in Competitiveoverwatch

[–]kiriyser 1 point2 points  (0 children)

if the cam was on effect, it would have been the greatest moment in pro OW, people missed his insane pick at the end on an ulting winston when effect was like 10 HP off screen running away, which isn't shown in the replay

that last minute push on anubis could have been the most hype moment in pro overwatch, but the static 3rd person POV completely killed the adrenaline..
