Hey everyone,
Here's another video we made with Jeff. We've got one more, but needs more work.
Kaplan was a good sport going through these comments - a lot of people wouldn't - and some of his answers are really funny.
Hope you enjoy the video!
- Krupa
Jeff is so awesome
IGN OK. U lot really so cool when does agents of mayhem release
Can't wait for the next one.
Make more prepare to try!
We're doing that as well. Promise. We want to film as many episodes as possible before announcing the premiere, so we never have to miss a week! - Krupa
*Guy shits on Orisa's design*
*Kaplan offers him a job to see if he can do better*
Jackie Chan "Wrestle with Jeff, prepare for death."
next hero is DoomFrenchFries
I love orisa what y'all talking about
That's because Jeff got his job at blizzard by shitting on other MMO's designs
+Jackie Chan
thats meaningless posturing.
if the guy did accept they would never let him take the job
*guy complains about game selling 25 million copies*
*jeff brags about selling 3 copies*
**Seems Legit**
*To himself*
You got the joke my friend.
We are proud of it

“I have bought at least 3 copies of the game”
JEFF HAS SMURFS
Supermushroom 12 Per the TOS each and every player is explicitly allowed up to eight accounts. Fun fact.
LMAO HOLLY S**t
Supermushroom 12 so at least he cared enough about his own game to gift it to trolls
Supermushroom 12 lol

"sledgehammer nerfs"

No please

Did Jeff just tell the rest of the world to git gud?
That he did.
José The Mexican thid man knows no boundaries
José The Mexican "Wrestle with Jeff, prepare for death."
i wanted him to say "git gud" so bad
José The Mexican says hoxton
"I can personally vouch for 3 copies sold...and we're proud of that"
David D lol when I read that he said it
David D that's why Jeff likes smurfing.
Legend has it Jeff was the first smurf on Overwatch ...
Daniel Kemnitz ...born from bastion.
He might have bought them as gifts to friends.
"Every gorilla is a unique individual". 2017 summed up in one sentence.
Underrated
you know in the cinematic Winston climbed walls you know the one with Reaper

Basically everyone is MONKY
Titan Boy oh yeah yeah
I don't like IGN but I would subscribe for a series of Jeff reading comments about overwatch
Who wouldn't
same
Player: F**k Bastion
Jeff: Deep fantasy of this person. Hahahahah.

I like how he turns a comment about Winston not being able to climb into, preaching about Gorilla Individuality.
good ol' jeff kaplan

Jeff received criticism, replies with a job offer.

He got his job by raging in the Everquest Forums, so that's actually how he got his job.

"I think its less about nerf South Korea and more about buff the rest of the world"~Jeff Kaplan
Zac Kelley #southkorea ftw :)))
"sledgehammer nerf"
The joke was about D.Va Lmao
Zac Kelley he just buffed north Korea! D:
So throw your Life away and only spend time to Overwatch. Alright
4:25 if all the characters are broken and overpowered,non of them are broken and overpowered.
InfiniteEpìdemic They can still all be broken
InfiniteEpìdemic EXAXTLY FAX

Mojavehippie but if they’re all broken, are any of them really broken?

If all of the heros are overpowered doesn't that make them all balanced?
Marred Carton Then the time to kill would be too high and lag compensation would be a huge issue. For example, Call of Duty.
The UKNutter then wouldn't that make everyone have peekers advantage? Besides, all games have lag compensation that could potentially determine the outcome of a 1v1
Marred Carton if every one is overpowered then no one can complain
According to the Brawl Minus devs, yes.
Marred Carton
what it meant to say is the ultimate abilities are too influential in the game. Considering Mercy/Reaper, and comparing them to Widow/Rainhardt, I totally agree. Tf2 level of power ultimates are funnier for everyone.
I’m actually going to miss him. thank you for everything jeff.
5:44 he honestly has a face like he saw the worst comment in his life and he tries to avoid it the way he takes the Ipad away and opens his eyes XDDDDD
😂😂 indeed
Overwatch balancing in a nutshell: If everything is overpowered, nothing is
tetsuya no yoroi damn. mind blown...
tetsuya no yoroi Actually a good design mentality as long as it doesn't get out of hand. Alot of games tend to end up more fun that way
Didn't Jeff admit to loving DotA and being inspired by it? Surely that translates to something in Overwatch.
tetsuya no yoroi if everything did 0 damage and did nothing else, then the game would be balanced, but that would be boring as shit. same goes for league. every character needs strenghts
Chaan DenHoven lul league balanced kek
"it's less about nerf south korea, and more about buff the rest of the world" daayyyummmm sonnnn
luqmanr yet doesn't do that to actual characters if they are considered op
lol so instead of doing minor changes to one hero they should do them to 23
luqmanr he should have said "git gut"
luqmanr more like buff australia...
And that is there idea for overwatch
So Jeff bought 3 copies...
Imagine being matched to a team of JeffBoi1, JeffBoi2 and JeffBoi3.
Jeff read, ‘I want Junkrat in lingerie one day’
However, my British brain heard, ‘I want junkrat in laundry’ 😂
This dude has next level, dry sarcasm :P

Hail tf2
"all characters are broken and overpowered" wouldnt that mean the game is balanced?
3000 umm?
Thats true i guess?
Yes. That's exactly what that means :D
3000 - Exactly.
3000 love your picture
"we're getting into too much science here"
>Winston is a scientist
Lemon AIDS lol
Lol
you misquoted he didn't say here. he said "we're getting into too much of the science of the game".
It changes the meaning
Batman's a scientist.
It changes the meaning, yes, but not in any way that's relevant to Lemon's humorous observation.
We love you Jeff
We’ll love you even more if you were in the game
Nah he'd be to OP
Primary fire nerf secondary fire buff
And on the paylad...
Replace every character’s lines with Jeff’s voice.
@@Joferna He'd be like ana but with the ability to do her ult vice versa
You will be missed Papa Jeff.
That comment about all the hero's are overpowered and broken doesn't really make sense. If they are ALL overpowered then aren't they all balanced?
Well, not all overpowereds are equal... Remember mathematics. If not all infinities are equal, how could all overpowereds be?
This differs from infinity though. Yes not all infinities are equal, however the word overpowered implies that something is better than other things. If everything is overpowered then that means there isnt a single underpowered character. Which means the only possibility is that all characters are equal. If thier overpoweredness were not equal, at least one character would have to be underpowered.
Post Rock Mixes you guys are putting too much thought into this..
Héru -o nólë are you satisfied now?
Pascal Jean yeah, I used to play tf2, and when I first saw the game sounded overpowered. But that's good, as being strong is more fun the being weak, and they balance it out.
this coward doesn't want junkrat in lingerie I can't believe it...
mateo diaz is he in lingerie?
You'll cowards don't even want Junkrat in lingerie
i found jesus and he says that he wants junkrat in lingerie
He changed the subject so he wouldn't spoil the Rocky Horror themed Halloween event this year.

“*All* the characters are broken and overpowered” if they’re all like that, wouldn’t it still be balanced?
Jeff has the most "meh" and "could care less" attitude I've ever seen, and yet I can't stop watching interviews with him.
we sold at least 3 copies and we are proud of that
LMFAO
have a reply
So then I take it that Doomfist is gonna be a female, voiced by Terry Crews, hot.
A Microwave yes.
A Microwave XD
A Microwave I'm attracted to you
I get so moist just thinking about it.
OMG, at the very least, I want a skin of this.
Mercy Main here,
*Just stop leaving the group.*
1:19 wtf he didn’t clap twice before saying next comment😒
When he said that they were removing all the male characters I was really hoping he'd follow it up with "...and we're re-titling the game 'Ovarywatch'."
Yes but keep Soldier
Keep hanzo he's my main
GameHighlights same my g
Keep genji he's my main
StodgyPigeon061 Gaming yes, Genji needs to stay
Jeff is just born toaster, he roasts everyone
Robowcane That's toasting... not roasting...
year of the rooster should have had a rosting rooster jeff skin
I would say he wrestles everyone. (and wins)
More like BBQ grill xd
5:25 destroyed
Owerwatch on Nintendo switch
Nicholas Kvam it would be nice if there was a overwatch for switch but sadly the switch doesn’t have enough power to run a game like overwatch, it can barely run the fortnite, how can u expect it to run overwatch.
Josefps 01 it runs many power games, fortnite has a huge map with a hundred players shooting and building and all the assets. It has paladins and warframe
@@josefps0187 overwatch is very well optimized and it works without problems on CPU integrated graphics, fortnite on the other hand is pretty resource-sucking and definitely less optimized. That's a bad comparison :D
LMAOOO WE HAVE IT NOW !!
@@josefps0187 heh
This feels like a dinoflask video but it's not edited, it's real.
What of Dinoflask ISN'T edited.
Expecting dinoflask to just repost this in full tomorrow.
Jeff is a living meme.
dinoflask videos aren't edited, Jeff actually said that
This video needs a part 2.
And 3.
And 4.
Gehab GEEHHAAAB !!! HEEEYYYY
Gehab it'll never end
And 286.
id never think id find you here
Gehab we need more
This guy is awesome.
I always come back to this video
"I think is less about nerf South Korea, and more about BUFF the rest of the world" we got REKT by Jeff (except South Korean)
Nemesis33 north korea will kill them soon then it will be balanced
jeff can't even get out of platinum he has no room to talk lol
Nemesis33 no NK will just enslave the escorts teams as military officers
Nemesis33 Kaplanese for "Git Gud"
It's ok, ol' Kim Jong-un will nuke them into stone age soon.
why whud winstin need to climb he has a jump pack
sanic the hegy a passive vertical ability while his jump pack is on cool down would be awesome in my opinion.
true but its only 5 seconds plus the jump pack has more use
sanic the hegy just make chasing down genjies and widows easier. you use your jump pack to jump to them, they jump off, you follow, they climb and it's over. they're gone.
It seems you're part of the "rest of the world" Kaplan was talking about... Git gud
It's about balancing. It's good as it is. A tank isn't supposed to have as much mobility as the more assassin-like characters.
"We're are actually removing all male characters"
Me: *Mains all male characters*
He was kidding omg
@@kharrr2120 and he wasn't?
1:23 aged well

Can we get a Bastion spray in the future that says "Delet this"
In turret mode, with the chaingun aimed slightly downwards, with the small repair tool holding an oversized handgun level. ...That sounds hilarious.
delet?
TheCODster16 what is that delet XD
Rylan Bradley meme
Or on a darker note "delete me", and would be awesome to spray it after potg.

He's actually very toxic, people have found his past emails when he played EQ, complete douchebag, makes sense, he works for Blizz.

Man, that ORISA comment had me dying as much as Jeff! 🤣🤣🤣
So when ever i see the word "broken" I just take that as a compliment. Thats awesome!
~Jeff Kaplan 2017
Whenever someone tells me something is bad, I take that to actually mean that it's good! That's awesome!
A doctor to Jeff: "I'm afraid I have to tell you your arm is broken sir."
Jeff: "That's awesome!"
That's Blizzard game balancing in a nutshell for ya...
(JK, actually quite like the game right now)
what he means is that "broken" is used to mean both "unplayably weak" and "way too strong"
Bastion can heal while running now... Where's the nerf man?
If every character is OP then it’s balanced
"If everyone is super, no one is" YA BOI SYNDROME
AlexStealsMemes That's the smash 4 tr4sh mod in a nutshell
thats exactly what i thought. i was like “if they are ALL op.... doesnt that make them the same?l

Lmao ye
« 25 millions of player et not one of them is on the godamn payload » 😂😂😂😂😂👌
Been in my recommended feed for a year, time to watch it I guess
If everyone is overpowered, doesn't that make them balanced?
Genji Shamada and out of all people genji said it....
Doggo Man Genji and broken?
AHAHAHA
FAMOKO BOYZ Well a lot of characters are weaker than others. Winston and Reaper for example. The game is broken.

ahem Winston climbed walls in that cinematic with him and Reaper I don't know what you saying Jeff
I want Jeff Kaplan to be an overwatch character and for him to be overpowered 😂😂
kevin crespo What if he appears in a match when someone cheats and insta kill the cheater until the match ends.
Halfbaked Tactician I'd love to see a drop pod land behind an aimbotting sniper and out pops a robot with a tv head with jeff's face on the screen. Just have him chasing them around zapping them causing their screen to shake. It'd be amazing

I wanna see him in a lingerie too
I mean Jeff did not actually say "no"...
Anybody else get this recommended to them after jeff left :(
So much nostalgia watching this... 🥺
Wow, Jeff is actually funnier in real life than in those dinoflask edited videos.

who's watching this after jeff left
This guy can make you laugh without even cracking a joke!
Section X so true
Section X that's called laughing at someone
"All the characters are broken and overpowered."
Well, if everyone is overpowered, nobody is....
"When everyone is super... no one will be"
Exactly
It's the best game design logic, it makes the games that much more enjoyable and every characters feel unique. Starcraft Brood War used this philosophy and its considered to be the most balanced rts game (with entirely different races that is) and all the units are incredibly unique and enjoyable to use because they all feel impactful. As a result, the whole game has a perfect balance because all 3 races are overpowered. It's just about abusing that power.
I wish they did the same with more games. When you have mobas where everything is "balanced" (underpowered), then all the characters feel the same and your impact feels much less significant. If anything, a moba is the perfect place to use that kind of game balancing imo.
Rockybarry That's what I was thinking.
Rockybarry wouldn't that make the game balanced
Id buy Overwatch if all the characters were Bastion :D.
Can we get this uncensored tho?
But Genji is allergic to the payload
You mean widow
He means everyone.. Even tanks
Colt Allen
*HanzNO
Marcaunon Gaunt I'm a widow main, I'm not allergic *sniff* *rubs eyes* ..ok genji stop cutting onions! (Genji in background) "I'm not cutting onions widowmaker" *looks at payload* "ok nevermind, I might be"
Iron_bot 27 E This is a reference to when someone filming got Gaku Space, Genji’s voice actor, to say “I am allergic to the payload” in his Genji voice.
I like Jeff he is the meme of overwatch
Johan HANJO that's cuz his name is jeff
My nam jef

He's not the meme... He's the owner
MrSquishyGaming XBOX1 no you fail to understand for he is the the owner he is the head the leader of overwatch and it’s greatest meme

Kaplan is way too mature for these comments. A lot of the people who made these comments wouldn't even understand him because he's too humble for them.
is he turkish?? i am turkish and kaplan is meaning tiger in turkish
Jake I don't know what's going on. Why is everyone saying he is turkish?
Does that mean I am NOW Turkish.. ?? - wtf?
he is bloody brilliant!
Look up the comments Jeff used to write which got him hired at Blizz. I have never seen such a flavor of insults
