OWC will be MOTH META!

How dare you make me miss Zylbrad this much.

Ok but why?

Hf playing by yourself.

Have they given a date that this is gonna launch?

Mirror this one hero or lose is hardly the quintessence of balance. :joy: But at least Mercy facilitated a wide range of comps unlike other more restrictive metas. Moth meta was probably the most DPS friendly meta.

Man haven’t seen Muselk or Bazz content for years. I used to watch Zylbrad when he played with them and Tyrodin. Can’t believe Muselk is 9 million subs wowsers.

Brought me back down memory lane back to the good ol days of Overwatch Eins.

Edit: Okay he’s at 9mill subs because he became a Fortnight meta streamer. No wonder he dropped off my radar.

I know right. The banter with him, Bazz, Muselk and Tyrodin was so good.

OMG Muselk… I totally forgot about him xD…

Oh I just remembered about “Oasis” as well :p… She was the Mercy main in his videos…

Those were good times.

Now. The real kicker: Will we get back OW1 post Moth origin GA?
Like the OG multi-button press Superjump and the hops and all that jazz???
I want the old mobility back so much still, having a real comparison to see if it’s rose tinted glasses or it was legit better imo would be nice.

Who cares about the moth meta. The syMETA will return finally.

eeeeh depends. Moth meta after the first few weeks was just Mercy dive.

Second to none!

I do not miss moth meta, but I’m happy to have more classic.

100% prefer a single hero that supports everyone equally being mandatory over the alternative of a single DPS being mandatory and taking over the role (like Tracer/Widow/Sojourn/Ashe/Cassidy) or a whole comp being mandatory mirror.

Turns out that rez is healthy for the game because it puts a stopgap on hyperoffensive heroes and allows defensive/slower heroes to actually prosper.

If we go back to release Moth Meta, GA will likely be the same as it was in the first OWC event.

The ability to input jump actions during Ga was added after the first set of nerfs to Moth Mercy.

If Mercy had any ult that wasn’t utterly useless, she wouldn’t be stuck with pocketing as her only viable playstyle as pocketing doesn’t charge your ult nearly as fast as actively supporting/healing everybody.

Mercy players being “boosted” was always cried about but right now it’s literally the only thing she can do at all.

Because if she doesn’t perma pocket, she steals ult charge from the supports with actually good ultimates…

Yeah, you should definitely avoid this OWC since you already struggle against 2024 1.75s cast time Mercy.

Tho it could also be an awakening and show you what “busted” actually looked like.

I remember being the only one willing to flex and ended up diffing every opposing moth. My time has come once again. :triumph:

Curious which version they’ll go with, though. Release or one of the nerfed versions that still stayed for a while? :thinking:

Also should mean we get old superjump given that it was her rework that caused her to receive this ability.

And I just got memories of using the rework to punish people for opting to go Widowmaker. :smiling_imp: They got what they deserved.

They will likely go all put with this one and go Moth Meta 1.0 freshly after the rework hit live.

Meaning:

  • 20s Valk (15s live)
  • 100% GA speed bonus (50% live)
  • Instant rez
  • Rez reset when popping Valk
  • 10s rez CD in valk

BUT

  • no superjumps and slingshots yet

The jump inputs on GA were introduced after the first set of Moth nerfs

Yeah and if that’s the case there’d likely be two rez uses she can save up alongside that reset.

Ah unfortunate. Was it because of a bug where people were slingshotting by accident but it was getting them killed? I forgot the specifics on how it went down.
