Overwatch

I'm eating the above and watching Dallas Shred on King's Row (I'm an hour or so behind)

Never seen a team hold that far forward in a playoff match.

Going to have a bit of live overwatch 2 play by some pros at some point

Hmm interesting. If they are going 1 tank in OW, then changing her ult makes sense since you aren't going to see the shield stack bullshit you see now. Her hack change is interesting - I do like the damage buff to her damage vs. them, although in terms of "disabling" enemies, really only seems like an interrupt now.

Bastion changes seem interesting - I think it makes him more viable in the long run, since he really only ever shone when he had a Rein babysitting him and you just gunned down noobs.

I guess the allure of putting them behind a $50 paywall is more enticing.

That is why OW2 has Bobby Kotick's fingerprints all over it.

I feel bad for all the tanks in the downsize. There were already some great ones benched.

Lotsa big roster shakeups for 22 as you'd expect:

Jjonak leaving NYXL
Onigod free agent
Birdring retiring
Rascal retiring (going into coaching)
Mano conscripted into the army
Tobi retiring
Saebyeolbe retiring

Mayhem dumping everyone (and going back to western?)
Valiant dumping everyone
Shock dumping everyone
Toronto dumping everyone
Vancouver dumping everyone

The dumping of everyone is why I hate this league. You shouldn't be able to start over so easily. The players in this league are too young to form a players union to get rid of that.

I haven’t followed OWL too closely this last year, but is shock no longer the team to beat? They were so dominate for a while I’m…shocked…to see them get that treatment.

Not this year. Top 5 maybe? They never won any of the hawaii tourneys, and only made it there once I think?

Striker retiring hurt. Ans was out sick for awhile too, but wasn't hugely missed because hitscan wasn't that strong this year.

I'd say the top 3 are:

Dallas, who are amazing mechanically but make alot of dumb decisions.
Atlanta, great tanks and great coaching
Shanghai, great(est) everything

A note on the "dumping everyone" category. There's still time for those players to be retained, but for awhile they will be open to seek other teams.

Quite a few great players up in the air right now. Rookie of the year Pelican, JJonak, Onigod, Shockwave, Space, Poko

News from the plat chatters:

So nobody googled the name of the new McCree and apparently the name is in use by some sort of wrestler. They've already done all the expensive voice work too

Striker is back with Boston.
Space is back with Glads and they picked up Reiner from american tornado. Glads look VERY scary.

Consensus on 2 is main supports are superbad, so maybe they will be overadjusted and be amazing later.

Paris is doing trials on a 5v5 workshop mode.

Just, you know, small indie company mistakes.

I'm the same way when I go outside, bliiiiiiiiiiiiiiind. So why am I in bronze?
