hi. I was away due to life issues, extreme burnout, and various gamedev projects. if you're still here, thank you for your unwavering support. 💙🧡
speaking of, consider checking out the marble game I worked on! it's on every platform (except the souljagame): store.steampowered.com/app/864060/Marble_It_Up_Ultra
Hope ur doing great, it's good to have you back bud!!!
It’s good to have you back! Hope you’re doing well.
We'll always be here for marblr content ❤
Happy to have you back whenever you find something interesting!
Also, Venture release is coming up so that could be a fun video with the abilities 👀
so happy you're back my goat 💖🔥
blaming my c9 on a bad spawn location is now valid
we're about to get favored and uphill battle rank modifiers based on our spawns
P😊@@Hietakissa
What the fudge is c9?
Do people just genuinely not know what C9ing actually is. Suddenly in season 9 everyone is using it incorrectly. Not reaching the point in time isnt C9ing. Its when you forget to touch it while having every opportunity to.
@@Saoshinkid with new players joining since overwatch is free, its obvious not a lot will know the real context/meaning of C9. Heck I just learned it a month ago despite starting OW a year ago
You've found another way for people to cope with losses that were definitely not their fault, but the 0.25 second difference from spawn points.
not gonna lie, matches in wich i ABSOLUTELY reached the payload but the game decided i didnt, did come to my mind.
@@Naza95 this is what i was thinking.my entire team half a step from the objective... it's definitely happened a few times
It matters to characters like Ana.
( ಥ ʖ̯ ಥ)
@@AlleyCatUwUIt matters to all of the characters, just more to the slower 1s.
@@Naza95 Every player has had these games and as a result this is not a small issue. Every player has had this happen multiple times of they've played 100 games or more.
12:18 "Okay, so Team 1 has twelve spawn points"
This bit of trivia is going to haunt me for the rest of my life
I wonder if this has to do with the bot spawn locations for the cthulu event during season 9 where one of the rooms have a bunch of bots spawning at the same time.
I can't wait to see "adjusted respawn points in order to make more fair and logical spawns" in the next set of patch notes
I can't wait to see which spawn point is canonically gay after the next Actiblizzard controversy.

What I found the most interesting is that Horizon has 5 spawn points despite being an Overwatch 1 map
Maybe some dev thought about reducing the amount of spawn points for all maps but after a few maps got bored and decided there's no point in that
No no, he had a point, a Spawn one.
@@Zen-db5pp they thought of keeping 2CP in Overwatch 2, but scrapped that idea (you can see it in the OW2 trailer having a 2CP Gothenburg)
Im just throwing this out there as my guess as to why (although I have no idea more than anyone else) but maybe the reason it has 5 spawn points instead of the usual 6 is because when they reworked the map to be space opera themed in season 4, maybe someone touched on them then? Again, idk but that's my guess.
@@iro9697 Horizon was also significantly reworked back in 2018, but I'm not sure if the map had 6 spawn points prior to that because...well, old overwatch versions are lost to time.
This is definitely a “how did you guys mess this up” kind of vibe
I think they never really thought about it, it seems like the kind of mistake that you make when you fail to realize the severity of one's current decision.
in OW1 the spawn points were placeholders until they weren't, and deathmatch was, like, intentionally unbalanced.
then during OW2's development, Bobby Kotick had the devs working eighty hour weeks on dumb shit that (surprise!) turned out not to be fun, and not a soul remembers how those spawn points got there.
oh, and then they were fired after the merger
@@robotizedcyborg7788 I think they correctly realized the lack of severity
@@Neuvost yea placeholder definitely is the best option of what happened
I’m pretty sure they probably didn’t think it was a big deal and well… it probably still isn’t as marblr pointed out, no one ever cared about this for 7+ years lmao.
guys we didnt lose because we suck, we lost cuz we spawned 0.01m farther than the other team
This definitely feels like an oversight. Also I really appreciate your overanalysing of things like this. Going super deep into the "useless" details and exact numbers. It takes a special kind of person with unique dedication and interests to make undoubtedly high quality content like this, and surprisingly there's a healthy amount of viewers who'd watch it.
MARBLR IS THAT YOU????

@@SimoneBellomonte It’s from the trailer of ‘lies of p’ with glasses edited on. Pretty sure I got it from a thumbnail though. 🤺 your pfp is just as fabulous
no its ME
Played for thousands of hours and never even thought about this mechanic. Thank you Marblr 🙏🙏🙏 another thing I can blame when I lose
the collesieum one has to be fixed thats just straight up unfair
I've thought about the asymmetry of spawns since the very beginning of Overwatch 1 tbh, it's an important consideration in shooter map design
“Since these maps are perfectly mirror, there are no differences betwe- oh wait they’re different…” funniest line ever! So happy you’re back Marblr!! Missed you
6:09 I love the added E on the Circuit Royal. It's a subtile statement but it's there
whoever drew that D.Va must be really cool
DVA main and i agree
As a QA lead (for a completely unrelated industry) your vids are always fun to watch. It also shows how beneficial a good QA team can be. Either these were caught and the devs said, "F*CK IT! WE'LL DO IT LIVE!!!" or the QA team was never assigned to look for these types of issues. I am thinking it is the former and it has never been any sort of issue.
Oh my gosh. Hi, Lucio main here- thank you for proving that I’m not crazy. I always found the rollouts seemed ever so slightly off depending on team selection and people just told me that I was just spawning in a different spot and that nothing changes between the teams- but I WAS RIGHT! Thank you, that drove me insane when I used to play overwatch.
We finally get the origin of the "Marble-er" name 👀
11:11 glad to see Spilo made it into the video xD
1111...what a timestamp
Will they remove the glass first or fix the spawn points first
Spilo?
@@SimoneBellomonte he's hearable in the background and when you enable video captions
"REMOVE THE GLASS!!!!" Lmao
No way you started this off with an Andy hunter song, my childhood memories of playing ssx3 just came back holy shit
from this day onward i will blame everything on the spawnpoints. thank you for covering this.
This was rather intriguing I must admit.
The instance of Colosseo's spawns could be the explanation for why I always see the side with the spawn advantage managing to hold the bot in overtime for ridiculous amounts of time while the other side I rarely see overtime last long.
Good thing their reworking it in season 11. That day can't come any faster.
@@BeastMode-bw2ry All they'll probably do is remove the glass. Do you really expect blizzard to fix spawns?
An idea for a video, if you're interested: I've noticed that Kiriko's "Kitsune Rush Assists" stat seems to be weirdly inflated, in that a single use of Kitsune Rush will sometimes result in more assists than there are enemy players to get assists on in the first place. My current theory is that it counts an assist for each teammate that contributed to the kill, but then that leaves the question of why is Kitsune Rush the only ability that counts assists in this way? (Or if it's not, what other abilities do?)
I noticed that too and yeah I think the same thing, if your teammates participate in the same kill it inflates assists. Cool to know someone else noticed this
Oh interesting, so in theory, if all four of your teammates contributed to a team wipe while in Kitsune rush, you'd get 20 assists?
Or hog that can get doble kill with one kill
@@stio_studioi've heard that too, but don't check the stats when it happens, i need to check because i play thinking its an audio bug which casually started with the addition of pig pen
Assists are more of status effect related. Either a positive effect for your teammate such as damage boost or nano...or a negative one towards the enemy such as sleeping and bleed. I've noticed how kill/elim counts are never accurate as well. I've mentioned it to a few streamers about elims not being accurate but I'm pretty much dismissed on it. But yeah, like someone mentioned earlier, if 3 people attacked an enemy, then those 3 will get an elim count instead of the final blow player getting an elim and the other 2 would get an assist like in other games.
Glad to see you back! Always love your informative Overwatch videos ♥
didn’t expect it here
the addition of a tiny 'E' for Circuit Royal(e) in the top left makes me happy, it only makes sense

Wait, you work on marble it up ultra?! No way, that's so cool!
something else to mention is rollouts. there are a lot of maps with geometry in the spawn room that are used for rollouts, which you can't reach as smoothly/quickly depending on your spawn room. as a lucio main ive noticed it alot, especially in rialto 2nd point attack where you can't smoothly line up for the narrow part and makes it much harder to do the ideal rollout for it
thank you so much for this lmao. I've been so curious in the past why because sometimes it feels o weird not spawn in the same place.
When the world needed him most, he came back. Fucking legend.
Finally a new marblr masterpeace. I missed you man, hope you get into regular reuploads - and if not ill just enjoy the inconsistent masterpeaces :) thank you
man I missed your videos , they are just so pleasant on the eyes
I can't wait to see a whole game dev journey miniseries or just videos outside of OW
The king of high quality overwatch content has returned to claim his crown 👑👑👑
Sometimes the random spawn decides what door is faster to leave from. This is important for heroes like Lucio that do different rollouts out of each door, even if the doors are parallel to each other.
I love Marble It Up and was genuinely shocked you worked on it 😅 welcome back!
I really wish you would’ve talked about flashpoint spawns. I’ve felt before that the spawns aren’t fair and getting one point and then the opposite team getting placed right next to the next spawn and your team having to walk across the map has always drove me crazy
the concept of this video is so cool, thank you for making it and doing such a good job! you definitely earned a sub
I really shouldn’t be surprised that Marblr worked on one of the best Marble games
Wow i started falling out of overwatch about the same time you stopped uploading and ive just gotten back in with the pre-release of venture and here you are! Seriously though take the time you need to make your amazing content!
Venture brings people together
“Horizon Lunar Colony, if you can remember it”
This is making me miss ow1
I will never use this piece of information in my life, but i still find it fascinating, thank you for your work Marblr :D
I love the insane work you put into finding out strange inconsistencies. I'd absolutely would fix this if I could, but I'm sure whoever placed them didn't give it a second thought in favor of reaching a deadline.
I found you out recently, but when I saw you disappeared a got sad cause I liked your content and wanted to watch more. I’m glad to see you’re back! 😊
THIS EXPLAINS WHY THERE ARE SO MANY CLIPS OF PEOPLE SPAWNING ONTOP OF EACH OTHER AND PUSHING EACH OTHER FROM THE INSIDE!! THATS SO NEAT
your game is really good! i watched a streamer playing Marble It Up! Ultra 4 years ago and i still have vivid memories
I love Marble It Up! Awesome to hear you've worked on that, and a new video in general
I absolutely *live* for the silly, hyperspecific details you manage to uncover. Good to see you back!
Omg i watched your videos a few days ago wondering where you were. Glad you're doing well!
Awesome video! I’m actually really thankful that someone looked into this because I always thought it was weird on Colloseo how one team always got to point faster, but I just figured I was going insane.
Vindicated!!
Thank you Marblr!
Well remember at the start of the match, everyone can move towards the doors before they open
@@jamesharding7536 It doesn't matter. After that the position of spawning points decide whenever the team will win the match
so good to see you back! the stuff you make is so consistently excellent :)
I was rewatching your old videos recently, glad to see you're back!
Marblr your videos are always a joy to watch, informative like a vsauce video and edited well enough like a 3blue1brown video. Masterpieces, don't stop!
Your videos are very good. I get a lot out of them to do and study about my game designs. Great job! I hope you can do that with more different games someday
wow youre back! hope youre doing very well with all the projects youre working on!!
This video is strangely specific and really well crafted
Nice job lol
Thank you Marblr! Glad you're back :) I have been curious about the formation of spawn points. I like looking back at the team and seeing everyone lined up but this is a rare case as most people tend to move from their starting position right away ):
I love this content. It's rare to find this level of quality and commitment
No exaggeration when I say seeing you in my sub feed made my day. Genuine excitement seeing your channels name when I opened CZcams.
Dont play the game anymore but I just thought about this channel the other day, glad to see another upload!
I was wondering about you just the other day, hope you're doing ok! Please continue to take care of yourself! Your videos are always SO awesome 💕
I love Marble it up so much! Really nice surprise to hear you worked on it.
Great video as always :) Keep up the great work
When I saw "mirror" in the title I stopped for a moment cos I thought you had insider information on the new Mirror Universe for Season 10...turns out it was about spawn points and was much more interesting too!
actually your comment aged like wine, you've predicted the season's theme
Welcome back!!!!! We missed you ❤
i’m really impressed at how much work you put into this video. new subscriber, keep up the good work. you have to be very smart to research all of this. 🙂
my goodness i love this video so much. the attention to the details are insain!
This guy is so cool man I love this guy
take as much time as you need
i love the music choice in your videos. usually from games i love and osts i listen to regularly
I missed you, thank you for the informative and humorous video!
Oh ma god he's alive, W
He lives!
Glad you're back, I've been checking in your channel the past few weeks actually! Hope you're doing better. Another fascinating observation and nice to see all the data. We demand symmetrical spawns on symmetrical maps!!
great vid! I'm looking forward to the follow up about deathmatch maps!
the thing that comes to mind for me is that I'm guessing that free-for-all King's Row has exactly eight spawns
FINALLY SOMEONE MAKES A VID ABOUT THIS TOPIC
I was getting so bothered on Gibraltar defender spawn points the other day and tried to look stuff up and found nothing.
When we needed him most...
Glad 2 see you back, keep up with the good content!!
OMG! The way your game took me back to playing marble blast ultra on my parents CRT as a kid! What a throwback! I hope the development goes smoothly that looks like it'll be a blast! (pun absolutely intended)

I didn't know you worked on Marble It Up! That's so cool! Love that game lots
I can't BELIEVE you worked on Marble It Up Ultra. I adore that game and the marble blast games too. That's super cool!
13:42 so that's why sometimes I spawn inside another player and my player model starts drifting around in this map's spawn room.
15:53 🤨🤨🤨🤨
I love your videos sm they're always entertaining with any subject matter
That break in character at the end has me dying lmao good video
"its like the infinite monkey theorem, but with overwatch players"
ok, so just the normal infinite monkey theorem!
also marblr we love to see you back, hope all is well and if not we hope it gets better
Was just thinking about what you were up to and glad you're back! Idk if you used it before but the windows xp windows for the old counter strike posts were cool!
Never watched you before, but I love Marble it Up!
Always found it weird how I'd always respawn in different places or how symmetrical maps felt different from either side. Thank you, marble man for your scientific data and your triumphant return
so glad you're back Marblr. I missed the content so much!
I love this this is the kind of nonsensical ow content! Thanks for the great video.
Dude, Marble It Up and all the OG Marble Blasts are some of my favourite games
Had no idea you worked on it!
If I could like a video twice...
Welcome back Marblr, never change.
This is exactly the kind of investigation I find very interesting to watch. Appriciate your video!
"GG, got spawn X... Match is basically lost!"
Remember those clips of people sometimes spawning inside eachother and drifting off? i remembered that kept happening on attackers midtown and this video explains why. so cool
Finally a video by Marblr dude I've been waiting for this moment for a long time 😍😍
Incredible effort and research, well done
Epic video as always. That ending was hilarious, lol
thanks for all the hard work!❤
good to see another one of your videos! I feel like it's been a while!
Amazing work as always!!!
