hot take: peak OW was more fun than I ever had playing Valorant
capital_d_colon [#2]ow2 crashes after every game for me... pretty sure i need more ram
wtf, ow2 runs so fucking well for me
I get more frames on OW2 max settings then any other recent title
KoreanOverlord [#3]wtf, ow2 runs so fucking well for me

tbf my pc is 5 years old now + only 8gb ram.
also no ssd yet.
was thinking about buying ssd + more ram on black friday
maximumszn [#4]Never really liked overwatch and i am very bad, but it feels pretty nice
yeah after playing shitty shooters like gundam evolution going back to the polished feel of OW was nice
Its decent, maybe bit better than OW1 but I'm so lost when Moira Genji just rushes me or something. But its definitely more stress free as tank main at least. Haven't just been playing much and 0 comp because I'm waiting for new mouse with better side buttons so I can play W inston better.
But yeah peak OW was more fun than Valorant, and peak OW esport is the best esport I have ever watched and followed

my laptop stutters when playing ow2 but i found it its because of amd fsr or whatever it was in graphic settings for some reason

5 years isnt that old considering OW came out before that
8gb ram def need to upgrade that, but idk if it would cause OW to crash, rn its using 4gb ram for me I have 16gb

OWWC were always so good. The feeling of getting hyped about your home team was always so good. Also having teams like Team Canada with Agilities, Surefour, xQc so good and their streams from bootcamp and Disneyland even to this day some of my favorite streams of all time. Also I absolutely loved OWL Season 1 and 2 and followed so closely. It was first proper esport scene I started following and reason why I started using platforms like Twitch, Twitter and Reddit.

Might be some sought of bug cause ingame it shows that im using like 1000+ vrm
capital_d_colon [#20]that lunatic hai roster wow.
imagine if Lunatic Hai -> Seoul Dynasty happened with top Valorant roster lol

It was my 2nd esport I followed like crazy (after rocket league, i was a kronovi fanboy)
OWL season 1 was so fun, had so much drama (in-n-out incident), xqc , shanghai dragons 0-40. Plus i was a london spitfire fan.
Season 2 onwards just wasnt the same when the meta just got more stale and boring
(fuck you goats mainly tensa)
I mean It’s what OW has always been, a game with a shit tone of potential but a company even worse than Valve directing everything. OW 2 is just an excuse to remind people that the game is actually good cause it’s literally a patch for OW1, a little fresh air that will get a lot of casual people back but that people will forget with time again because competitive scene sucks
It’s nice to play, but only god knows how angry some of the heroes make me
Even if it’s kinda balanced, it infuriates me to see someone (cough cough Winston mei Moira etc) kill me and their crosshair isn’t even on me. Like oh yeah let’s make hero’s that can just look at someone to deal damage they don’t even have to be on their crosshair 👍👍
Also, non-hitscan sucks for me because I aim for a head and boom it hits the wall cuz the enemy’s already across the map
Sushi_ [#27]I downloaded it out of curiosity, (never played OW 1)
I suck but its alot of fun, im curious about how i can start watching pro play.
watch the OWL
I like NYXL
KoreanOverlord [#30]watch the OWL
I like NYXL
ok! ill probably root for either new york or a french team if there is one, are there any tournaments going on rn?
77_sTuna [#31]I am planning on trying it, I think I will still enjoy it, but just from what I know, I might prefer the feel of the first one.
nono, they def made the shooting feel better in OW2 I havent heard anyone say otherwise
Sushi_ [#32]ok! ill probably root for either new york or a french team if there is one, are there any tournaments going on rn?
KoreanOverlord [#35]
bro what luck I notice that theres a new york and paris team and get all excited and i go to check them out and there the 2 worst teams in the league 😭
Sushi_ [#37]bro what luck I notice that theres a new york and paris team and get all excited and i go to check them out and there the 2 worst teams in the league 😭
yeah nyxl used to be one of the best too

raid boss pine was a scary time

Im getting shit on by dashing genjis. Imagine if jett had a dash like that

Imagine Jett’s dash did damage LOL
Sushi_ [#27]I downloaded it out of curiosity, (never played OW 1)

start by watching some clips

Perma [#49]Peak fortnite was more fun that i had ever playing OW and Valorant
HELL NO FORTNITE IS ASS
elayaCL [#55]I installed it to play casually, and i can't even enter the game, it's always in the waiting lobby, and when it ends, it loses connection.
I mean in which online game you have to WAIT to enter? wtf
lmao ever heard of an MMO before?
capital_d_colon [#26]It was my 2nd esport I followed like crazy (after rocket league, i was a kronovi fanboy)
OWL season 1 was so fun, had so much drama (in-n-out incident), xqc , shanghai dragons 0-40. Plus i was a london spitfire fan.
Season 2 onwards just wasnt the same when the meta just got more stale and boring
(fuck you goats mainly tensa)
Yeah Season 2 meta was shit for most part, but it was still fine because all the players were still there and bunch of new teams were added so it made it interesting. But overall goats benched so many classic players because you couldn't be like Genji OTP player or something and many who couldn't adapt to Brigitte or Zarya got perma benched so it was sad. And I feel like goats made so many players retire or at least made their time in OW esport shorter. Just sitting in bench or playing unfun shit for whole season definitely wasn't good for motivation and mental.
and me myself I was Dallas Fuel fan(like most lol) S1 so seeing them suck ass most of year and then do well last stage and actually be competitive was really satisfying.
Daniveus [#56]I was gm like 4 years ago but now I cant aim for shit
still trying to find the perfect sens
u were gm?
what rank r u in val?
Sushi_ [#27]I downloaded it out of curiosity, (never played OW 1)
I suck but its alot of fun, im curious about how i can start watching pro play.
They have tournament now start friday-sunday. I watch it on YouTube. Start with apac team like Shanghai dragons, Seoul dynasty, etc. And then later that day, west team play like Los Angeles gladiator, San Francisco shock, etc.

ok ty :)
Love it. But it's kinda hard. I think OW it's more fun to play if u actually have a team. Because if u solo, sometimes u just get stomp by any heroes because ur healer don't do shit. Unlike valorant u can still be useful on the team even if u solo play. But OW u need to always stick together and support each other.
Sushi_ [#37]bro what luck I notice that theres a new york and paris team and get all excited and i go to check them out and there the 2 worst teams in the league 😭
Paris are re-locating to Los Vegas next season
NYXL are in a weird rebuilding phase, probably 1 more season until they're great again
Currently in the wind-up to the end of season playoffs, so expect some super high quality Overwatch in the coming month.
Top teams for this season would be;
Seoul Dynasty
LA Gladiators (Patiphans team before he retired again)
San Francisco Shock
Shanghai Dragons
Dallas Fuel
Some top players;
Damage: Fleta, LIP, Kevster, Proper, Pelican, Kilo
Tank: Reiner, smurf, Coluge, Hanbin, Void
Support: FiNN, Twilight, CH0R0NG, Izayaki, Shu, FunnyAstro
Sojourn is so busted but so fun to play, I just shoot them and burst them down.
genuinely the most fun hero I've played in ow
some notes:
the only thing sucks is that ranked mmr didnt hard reset, so my rank got affected by me 4 years ago having literally the shittiest aim in every way possible so im now in elo hell
one thing i noticed is that i dont get tired after playing for 10 hours whereas i get exhausted playing for merely 5 hours of valorant
KoreanOverlord [#6]yeah after playing shitty shooters like gundam evolution going back to the polished feel of OW was nice
Gundam literally has better gameplay than ow
HackNaija [#75]Gundam literally has better gameplay than ow
you are hard trolling
that game is fucking garbage
archetype [#71]Sojourn is so busted but so fun to play, I just shoot them and burst them down.
genuinely the most fun hero I've played in owsome notes:
- some of the maps are too large for a 5v5 game tbh
- this push gamemode kinda meh
- graphics look amazing
- purchase system is dog
- UI feels cleaner
- I BSOD every once in a while, it seems to be a problem between NVIDIA RTX Voice and OW2
yeah push was hyped but kinda mid
purchase system is dog
I think it will get better with more content
charleston [#57]lmao ever heard of an MMO before?
Man, literally this NEVER happened to me in ANY MMO, that's why i'm pointing it.
This things happened like 10 years ago, but in 2022? well, tbh it can be expected from anything coming of blizzard / battlenet
Vortexy [#19]Pretty good I think, but very unnecessary. Blizzard should have just focused on Overwatch and it's competitive scene rather than completely casting it aside and causing it to die just to build a new version of the game for no reason whatsoever.
That has to do with Activision execs having no idea how to adapt to the f2p era , basically they wanted to ow2 to be another paid box type release. But then the Devs realised that would wouldn't get them enough funding to put out new content , and on top of that they are releasing PvE next year which is the real ow2
Kk0bra [#79]That has to do with Activision execs having no idea how to adapt to the f2p era , basically they wanted to ow2 to be another paid box type release.

that doesn't change the fact that the original overwatch could have been improved on and updated to bring it to a similar state as ow2 rn over the course of many years
patuj [#24]imagine if Lunatic Hai -> Seoul Dynasty happened with top Valorant roster lol
i would cry if loud end up like lunatic hai to seoul. not even a loud fan but it would just be tragic
Mortadelo [#28]I mean It’s what OW has always been, a game with a shit tone of potential but a company even worse than Valve directing everything. OW 2 is just an excuse to remind people that the game is actually good cause it’s literally a patch for OW1, a little fresh air that will get a lot of casual people back but that people will forget with time again because competitive scene sucks
true i hate Owl and its franchise system
ive always played a lot of ow until I stopped playing recently and just watched owl. but ow2 just feels so much easier for me to just jump into to play and have fun. also it feels so nice to see people actually play this game and have fun again it feels like I've forgotten how it feels for people to be happy and playing this game
p1lot [#87]sheeesh they made some changes and renamed the game to OW 2,
much funner than valorant too bad that playerbase and esport ecosystem is not as big tho
edit: why tf am i replying to you
patuj [#59]Yeah Season 2 meta was shit for most part, but it was still fine because all the players were still there and bunch of new teams were added so it made it interesting.

pls explain in valorant terms.
