    I've been with Overwatch since I think either 2016 or 2017. I was what you could call a skilled Junkrat - I taught myself how to take out every sniper, how to fuck with people through my traps and bombs, they HATED me and I had the MOST fun. Every time I won an encounter I would start cackling loudly to myself, the serotonin boost made my day.

    I have an embarassing high amount of time on OW1 but never played OW2 because it gave me a bad gut feeling. I am glad you are enjoying the game and I really liked listening to you ramble about your opinions of all the characters! Especially the ones I haven't even known existed. I still love Ana and Orisa even if I will never play the game again.

    I'm glad Zenyata made the list that high, he was the only character that kept me playing Overwatch for a while. When part 2 came out, I wanted to give him another try, but Blizzard fucked up taking over your unlocks initially, so they seperated Zenyata and me. I played 2 rounds as Reaper, sighed, told my team I'm out and deinstalled the game.
    While I'm not an active player, I really appreciate the concept behind it and your character breakdown was really fun.

    I'm an OW1 veteran, if you will, that dropped out during it's content drought because the amount of frustrated helplessness, seething and malding this game induces in me is rivaled only by League Of Legends. Occasionally I came back to dick around with mates and a cold one, tried out OW2 when it came out and their rebalancing made me quit outright, I don't recall being this angry at a game in my life. I understand your grievance with 5v5 and one tank, oh boy do I understand.
    Saying all of that, hearing your comments regarding the game and ranking of characters feels strangely cathartic. Especially the "being afraid of your own team" thing and the fear of getting chewed out. I didn't really engaged with the chat myself, even positive human interactions are fucking debilitating to me, but I always dread the outpour of toxic screeching in chat.
    My tier list looks hella different, but that's what makes it more interesting! Fascinating to see different perspectives. My Top 5, in following order: Tracer, Widow, Brigitte, Zarya and Reaper.
    Thanks, Mert!

Idk man, the performance anxiety with trying to learn the game while getting bullied by your teammates is a lot for me. 😬 I was hoping PvE would be a good entry point for someone like me but NOOOOOOOOO 😭😭

  • @JokerCrowe
    @JokerCrowe Před rokem +4

    The aspect of the game where you get hate in chat is basically the only reason why I never got into Overwatch, just knowing that you're letting people down isn't really fun for me, so I could never get into it. When I heard that OW2 was _going_ to have a single player campaign with PvE I was very excited because it seemed just like my cup of tea, and then... well, any reason I had for getting the game died.
    It really is a shame because I really like the world and the characters, but I could never get into the game.

    So, I was an Ana main in OW1 and I guess I was kinda good because I just couldn't catch a break from the enemy team, they were out to get me. Ranked was so much stress inducing because there was always a point in the match when my teammates got comfortable, left me alone for a push (since Ana just doesn't have any mobility and can't really keep up) and a flanker just solo ulted me.
    But it was also so fun ! A true emotional rollercoaster haha!

    Half way through atm. Super interesting to watch, Im an overwatch sweat. Gm since s5, Ive played on and coached teams and have over 4k hours. Nowadays i just place my main and play QP. But generally OW content is all about ranked and meta so its really interesting and funny to see your perspective on characters. EG sigma - to me hes strong (sometimes) and has great pressure to you hes slow and clunky and I totally see that, I dont play him myself I just think of him in terms of meta. Ur perspective is nice to hear.
    Also which heroes i associate with toxicity vs you is funny too, I associate Sym with the fellow gays and as generally not toxic for example. But i can totally imagine an uptight QP Only Sym crying in match chat
    Very cool video im so glad i found you from that 13 Reasons video as every video ive watched since has been a banger from u :D
    Edit: OMG THE BASTION BIT IS SO TRUE my main duo plays widow and when things go wrong she goes bastion and i hold her hand as mercy while she rails the enemy team into the floor :3

    • @wolfsign9168
      @wolfsign9168 Před rokem +3

      @@MertKayKay i get a lot of 'How do I improve/climb' style questions. My general advice is
      1. Specialise, you dont have to one trick but if you play a different hero every game you will find progress much slower. Find what speaks to you whether its meta or not and spend your time building skills on that hero.
      2. You will get bad players. When you play to improve you must not focus on that, win or loss its all about you. If you lose 1 game it wont matter in the long run so dont let it bog you down.
      Obviously there is so much more to say but i generally recommend content creators or pros for specific info! The OW community is pretty educational generally

    You know. I gotta admit, I do find you fascinatingly, brilliantly, brave.

But many of your reviews are horror games and in this review you've mentioned you were berated and verbally abused by man children piss boys and yet STILL you strive and claw foreword.

    If you're a DPS-Moira then you're a bad Moira. She's a very powerful healer. I can keep my team alive even if the other healer is slacking.
    Sigma is currently my favorite tank. I mained Orisa in OW1, so I got really good at placing shields and sucking up damage. I enjoy how she plays in OW2, but the OW1 skills transitioned very nicely to Sigma. Also, I just really like the absentminded professor/ weed dad vibe he has going.
    Junkrat is my sweet baby boy, my favorite DPS. The first time I played him, some rando on my team yelled at me that if I didn't place the bear traps exactly where he pointed then WE WOULD LOSE THE MATCH and it scared me away from Jamison for far too long. Now playing Junkrat is the best way for me to relieve stress. I could be playing terribly, but exploding upon dying and then coming back with a chipper "This situation calls for more bombs," and I can't help but smile.
