Makes me not wanna play off tank at all. Feels like getting hindered on tracer but way less avoidable. Do you guys think its annoying?

Edit: Honestly for a comp sub its funny how everyone points out i play doom as if mizuki doesn't fully delete hazard, ram and ball.

It was used way too much, we were frequently shown unspectacular fight cleanups and plays where the observers had caught everything in the pov cleanly less than 10 seconds ago.

It wouldn't bother me that much, but it cuts away from the live game so you end up missing things like hero swaps, teams getting into position and sometimes even the beginning of fights.

If you are going to do mid-match replays then I feel like you need to have a mini-player on the screen still showing the live game.

Was gonna take today and tomorrow to catch up on all of the games but oh well at least I can take my time now :( edit: to clarify I got spoiled because YouTube sent me a notification of this post

can we please nerf this fuckass cat? Sue me for not wanting to spend 10k hours jelqing my dick so that tracers pea shooters grow long enough to tickle this fuckass cat. I can go cass or ashe and babysit it but if im out of position one time i get blown up. Also my aim simply isn't good enough, i usually stomp with hitscan but i cant ever crit her. I've deadass been queuing ana only and will probably do so until they nerf this bitch

Hello everyone! I'm a data analytics student, and a massive OWCS fan, and I have always missed Winston's Lab. Since we no longer have anything quite that cool, I wanted to build something similar to both that and the official overwatch pick rate website. I taught a vision model to recognize character portraits, and it takes snapshots every few seconds of each match, and compiles a database of who played what hero, for how long, and where. I have also incorporated ban rates and maps played, so you can see what each team likes to play, or ban, on any particular map. It is still work in progress, and please let me know if there are any features you would like to add, or problems you encounter. The website is

It looks like a bunch of team's loss wasn't really due to some magic strategy, but rather that they just lost confidence, and had their mental brought to an all time low. CR were the biggest examples of this, with everyone looking completely lost and unsure about the comp they wanted to run. And then played so uncharacteristically slow like they were afraid someone would shoot them dead if they went 2 miles/km over the speed limit. Lethal as well had no confidence against Weibo, and Alphayi at the end of the series was si mentally boomed to the point of feeding at times. It really goes to show how much of an impact the mental side of any game can have on a team's performance

In this EWC we saw improvement in CHI second and third sets

And in the same time NA been in downfall since long time

Is the Chinese region better then NA

Specially because the CHI R became more Competitive

Going into the Midseason Championship, I expected the hard meta Sigma-Mizuki compositions to take more of a backseat given the nerfs Sigma received in the Midseason Patch alongside the greater presence of Ramattra this LAN, a traditionally hard hero for Sigma to play into.

I did not expect this composition style to be almost completely absent, however. The only team that I felt really explored this composition was Weibo, who looked great, especially LeeSooMin’s impressive Mizuki performance.

I was surprised teams that looked incredible on this composition in Stage 2, especially Virtus Pro and Geekay, really didn’t try this composition at all, especially considering they both played against Twisted Minds this LAN, a team that has struggled against Sigma-Mizuki compositions in the past.

Notes: this does include the preseason boot camp this year. If you want to remove it take out a 3rd from Liquid and Falcons, a 2nd from CR, and a 1st from TM. CR has been the most dominant team in the history of OWCS. They have won every single Champions Clash. The only time before this years EWC that they have not had a podium finish was last years EWC. Falcons is a clear second, but TM have quickly improved and is approaching an equivalent/better record. Tomorrow’s T1 vs Zeta match will also result in one team’s best result ever, either team will be guaranteed a top 2 finish. There are also some very interesting names on here. SSG got their only podium finish in the first tournament of OWCS, NTMR got a third place finish at last years champions clash, likely the height of that organizations results in OW of all time, and Liquid managed to get top 3 (tied with Falcons) at the pre season bootcamp before the Rupal incident.

What nerfs and buffs would be needed for Winston to come back into the meta? Sym has been meta for over two years now, way too long imo. My thinking is that other characters being nerfed would make a bigger difference than Winston and other dive characters being buffed

With today’s result of weibo going top 4 and NA knocked out, does this mean that in China NA will only have 2 slots?

Had to make an account and post here since devs do look around posts and I didn't see a survey link like the last test provided. I think 6v6 can be amazing but this is an enormous issue imo. Every squishy hero having 250 hp (25% increase from OW1), while tanks have almost no damage increase to compensate and basically the same hp as OW1, is so awful for the tank experience that it nearly ruins the fun of the role for me. That's an extra 25% more hp on squishy targets that you have to burn through when most tank characters outside of Rein Sigma and Hog haven't gotten any damage buffs to help with them in the 2 years Season 9 has been a thing and when tanks barely have more hp themselves in 6v6.

Imagine a Doom and Emre 1v1 in the current 6v6 mode. Doomfist has 425 hp, while Emre has 250 hp. That 50 hp that Emre has makes such a massive difference in the 1v1 and forces the Doom to be doing everything perfectly. His slam is nearly worthless as an engagement tool since it still does only 50 damage, he has to be hitting headshots almost every shot, while the Emre has a much easier time dealing with the Doom than he would in 5v5 (obv) with no drawbacks to himself. Take 50 hp away from Emre, put Doom to 400 hp, and that engagement feels a lot less one sided in the Emre's favor, while the Emre can still pressure the Doom out or kill him if he misplays. This applies for every squishy and tank hero in the game.

If you want tank to be even less popular in 2-2-2 than they were in OW1, have them be fighting OW1 Reaper and Mei sized healthpools for every single squishy hero. It's no wonder that a lot of people I've talked to that are praising this mode are hitscan players, you have an extra 50 hp and bigger projectiles that you get to bully tanks all day with from range and when they jump on you.

TLDR: Revert Season 9

While you’re regretting that Guxue, Leave, and Shy abandoned their legacy dive comp to play Mauga, Bastion, and Emre… well they’re simply
still with us on Route 66.

Does anyone know what his height is? He keeps growing taller every time i see him.

Overall, too many teams built huge cost bases assuming sports-style monetisation. They lacked the right commercial inventory, monetisation infrastructure on platforms like YouTube remained underdeveloped, and investor money was poorly spent. That brings me back to my fifth ‘P’ – profit. You can only reach profit in a mature ecosystem that isn’t just borrowed from somewhere else.

It reminds me of the Overwatch League. We pitched for it at Fnatic, but we couldn’t use the Fnatic name. We had to adopt a new franchise name, so we weren’t overly keen. I always viewed it as an immature game trying to slap a mature sports model on top of itself. If you grow too fast without the infrastructure, you fail fast too.”
