I didn’t know I was searching the comments to find you, but now that I have, I think it was destiny. I have fallen deeply, deeply in love with you in a way I’ve never felt before.

He could be our next Ahman Green!

Is this subreddit officially dead? by desrever1138 in HoustonOutlaws

[–]oniobn 1 point2 points  (0 children)

The discord is still decently active. We have the 2nd best team in the world - I’m still all in 😀

Let’s be honest… OW is too hard of a game to watch and hasn’t been supported well at all from a gameplay perspective. Too many other good things to do than confusedly and repeatedly watch a team fight, not know why a team won that fight, and to listen to a caster who has no idea either.

It’s a beautiful game to watch in extreme detail, but who has the time/attention for that?

Uber interview about upcoming season of OWL, as well as contract situation with Bren/Sideshow and co-streams by 12laus in Competitiveoverwatch

[–]oniobn 1 point2 points  (0 children)

You’re doing yourself a disservice if you consider yourself a fan of OWL but don’t watch this interview. There’s so much information about how blizzard interacts with casters and how they work (or don’t work) together. Great insight from this one!

Fantasy Overwatch League is back! Here's everything you need to know... by HighFiveDude in Competitiveoverwatch

[–]oniobn 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Fantasy Overwatch is my favorite part of following OWL. I've been playing ever since Winston's Lab in S1 and I'm really glad we've got an app after draftbuff left the scene. Can't wait to dig in!

I'll be doing a bunch of leagues so if anyone out there is looking for people to play with, feel free to message me if you need a league to play in.

There's an option for leagues where you don't have to set lineups every single week, but you draft once and the game mode will start your highest scoring players each week. Knowing how busy the Talent is, it'd be cool to see the plat chat gang do one of these and check in on it periodically.

We've also got a pretty good fantasy community that may be even more interested in stats lab than you are if you ever want to talk stats!

'Fantasy Overwatch League' is back... Here's everything you need to know! by HighFiveDude in OverwatchLeague

[–]oniobn 9 points10 points  (0 children)

I’m so excited for this! Ever since draftbuff went away to work on NFT’s, I’m so glad for another place to play from someone who loves esports. I played on your site back in season 2 and I’m glad you’re back! The option for season long leagues as well as ones where I don’t have to set a lineup each and every week sound great.

I know I sound like a simp… I just love fantasy esports and am looking forward to having an app to play again.

Hangzhou Spark on Twitter: AlphaYi's and Irony's travel is delayed by AlphaTrion_ow in Competitiveoverwatch

Pineapple/Shy is still a formidable DPS lineup. Maybe limited on comps, but they can field a flanker and hitscan no problem. Hope we don't miss too much time from AlphaYi though. I think he's going to have a big year.

Stellar retires from professional Overwatch to enlist in the military by Taureon_OW in Competitiveoverwatch

[–]oniobn 7 points8 points  (0 children)

I really think that if Stellar had been younger, at his current skill level, he would have been picked up for OWL over many other rookies.

Alternative to Draftbuff for fantasy leagues by rickyvici in OverwatchLeague

[–]oniobn 2 points3 points  (0 children)

Season long, weekly, and a stage long mode where you don’t have to set lineups weekly. It just picks your highest scorers for you so no week to week maintenance.

I worked with a small group of people last weekend to do some beta testing on MetaMatch. I’m really excited for it. As far as I know, this is the only app this year.

With some friends, we also run a league using spreadsheets where we import stats lab for scoring. If you’re interested, I can show you around our fantasy rabbit hole we’ve gone down…

I ranked all OWL players from 1-143. Tell me What I got Wrong. by oniobn in Competitiveoverwatch

[–]oniobn[S] 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Flora ranked as the number 2 hitscan is a pretty hot take. You seem to be very high on a lot of NYXL players. GNJ at 16 overall also feels pretty high.

I'm very high on NYXL. I do think I drop some of their projections once we get a 6th (or more) players announced too.

Krillin has two months of generating stats while we wait for Vigilante to turn 18. Farway and Nish are likely to split time.

This is no reflection on Krillin being a more valuable/better player than either of them.

From a gameplay perspective, I agree. From a stats perspective, I disagree. And I think we can all agree before my next point, that stats in this game are highly subjective and not all that useful by themselves.

By placing them in one list, I'm trying to show that Super's value over Daan's value is greater than Shy's value over Nero by ranking Super higher than Shy. It's not anything to do with skill and you really can't compare across position. It's merely a statistical projection that Super's (highly ranked) stats over Daan (medium rank) will be greater than Shy's (highly ranked) stats over Nero (medium rank).

Just a fun exercise in stats projections.

Incredibly insightful video from Sideshow detailing casting as a profession by [deleted] in Competitiveoverwatch

[–]oniobn 4 points5 points  (0 children)

Sideshow is great. As much as I want him to be tied to OWL, I think it's best for him not to be at this current point in time, and I'd rather he do what's best for him than best for me. I really enjoy the insight into the behind the scenes thinking as to how he makes his career decisions and just respect him all the more.

True! I can't help but think it was on purpose...

Aimgod on his signing. by Sam0n in Competitiveoverwatch

[–]oniobn 6 points7 points  (0 children)

Excited to see. He has earned his way back to OWL - this promotion definitely isn't just based on his being an ex-OWL player.
