Do we not see a pattern here?

Sombra gets played in OWL, although trash stats in ladder:
Forums: NERRFFDFF OMG OP SHES OP HEROGHDHGDEP;JP;HJ[KJPSOJP

AS SOON AS Mei gets played in OWL:
Before getting played in OWL: Mei isn’t even that good lol.
After getting played in OWL, the Forums: neRFFFFFFFFF

AS SOON AS reaper gets played in OWL:
Before being played in OWL: Reapers trash lmao
After getting played in OWL, the Forums: NERFFF OMG OP

Who cares what people in OWL do, people practice for months on end, get played to paid to play and win and are the best possible players in the world. Whereas most people in ladder don’t even group up, hard comparable, almost playing different games.

That’s cause we’re all actually as good as OWL players but our team mates keep holding us back. I thought this was common knowledge.

Sadly that’s not true.
Last few days I’ve seen dozens of nerf reaper threads.

Really? I saw the occasional one in PTR feedback but never saw in real nerf reaper threads get actually a good amount of likes until the past few days.

people actually watch owl?

they’re the pros and if they can get crazy value out of a character that everyone sees as useless, they’ll misinterpret the gameplay, change their logic, and demand said hero played gets nerfed. In this new and changing meta, we’ll call this: The OWL Effect™
I couldn’t imagine actually asking for reaper nerfs. He needs to get really close to have any value at all.
Cant wait until torb is played and then people start asking to nerf him as well :confused:

:joy:
It’s sad because I know a number of people who legitimately believe this.

Reaper is a bad hero that also happens to make playing tank utterly insufferable.

He needs changes that make him better in DPS match ups while also making it so he can’t just walk into tanks and win.

Yes, a lot. Quite a lot. It also make quite a lot of money. That’s why the devs are forced to cater to it by the Activision-Blizzard corpos.

Since when could he walk into tanks and win?
Have you even played reaper?

sounds like a waste of time to me but then again i never got the point of watching sports

Me too, unfortunately. One of my best friends is bronze, but believes he’s amazing at the game. He plays Lucio like a budget Tracer…

I don’t know what sad about it. I know it’s true for me. I would be the #1 Overwatch player in the world on all heroes, if it wasn’t for those meddling team mates.

Please don’t disappoint me and add a /s
Thank you

what exactly does this mean. what does it look like. it sounds like such a rare breed of lucio

Oh see, some people have different interests than others. I’m sure your interests are definitely not time wasters though. :roll_eyes:
