      @JimboJamboYT Год назад +44

      @House Mouse Main your first mistake is thinking roles = their title in overwatch, there are plenty supports and tanks that can outdps a large portion of dps characters. Junkerqueen falls flat here cause her toolset is designed around bleed and anti-heal but beyond that she achieves nothing. average dmg, no tankiness or ability to control the enemy positions. What else is there left to do if you cant really influence the flow of the game? The answer is do damage. She's a 6v6 meta tank and even then I dont think I'd pick her over something like a peel/flank roadhog tbh.

    • @RisqueBisquetz
      @RisqueBisquetz Год назад +18

      @House Mouse Main you sounds like someone completely new to OW lol
      Assigned role doesn't mean that's how you have to play the game.
      - Roadhog creates space by being THE damage dealer and fragger with hooks and bursts
      - Mei has relatively low dps but gets kills through crowd controls and controlling space.
      - Moira has very little utility as a Support but can deal consistent dps through orbs and unblockable beam of an ult.
      Junker Queen on release had a very similar role with Hog, being THE damage dealer and fragger of the frontline. But that role is all gone since she got the massive nerf, she's now an off-tank brawler at best.

    • @aceric1646
      @aceric1646 Год назад +23

      @House Mouse Main It's funny that you mention Kiriko, bastion, and sombra because those three are useful in many situations and are not special use case.
      Kiriko is widely regarded already to be one of the best supports in the game rn, and is most definitely not a "very short time" hero.
      Bastion has extremely consistent dps, with his downfall really being his lack of mobility.
      Sombra is also extremely good as a dps cause her hack and her emp is some of the best counters to a lot of tanks due to the ability disruption and her tp makes her have great survivability.
      Genji is good if you know how to play him well due to his great backline dives.
      Torb is a pretty good close range and long range chip + his turret.
      Echo is the only one i would say you need high game knowledge cause her ult gains value from you being able to use most other heroes but even then her util itself is very good.
      Roadhog is a great damage dealer and has insane survivability with self heal, and his hook shoot melee combo for oneshots
      Mei like skeet says has great crowd control and space control
      Moira is also not a special use case hero because she has very good heals, just most people don't use it as much.
      Heros who actually ARE more affected by the situation are Widowmaker and Tracer. Widowmaker being not as effective in close range fights and tracer being useless in long range fights. Even then, you can still find some value using them.
      And I say more affected because ALL heroes are situational, that's why you are able to switch heroes midgame. I play widow on circuit royale for early picks than i switch to cassidy cause he's easier to find consistent value with after those initial picks. Why? because at the start of the game you start with a long sightline that widow dominates on.
      you should never need "permission" from your teammates for wanting to play the game how you want. This isn't pro play, this is ladder. There are no stakes other than rank.

    • @aceric1646
      @aceric1646 Год назад +13

      @House Mouse Main where your proof for that. I searched it up myself and it said that blizzard specifically said that playing an unpopular character is not enough to get you banned.
      And even if it was true, if that was the case, overarching is a bad game then if you get banned for playing the game with a character you want to, even though they offer it as an option.
      If you need permission from your team to play a game how you want, I'm sorry but that's just a bad game

    Big thing I didn't hear you mention about Junkerqueen's kit is you don't need to pull the knife back immediately. If you leave it in the target it will continue to do bleed damage and you will regenerate while that happens. It's a great way to help her last in fights or finish off fleeing targets while you reload.

    • @TheUltimoSniper
      @TheUltimoSniper Год назад +51

      The bleed from her axe also heals her. That alone gives her at least half a star's worth more in both tankiness and damage, as it does 90 on-hit and 40 over 3 seconds. Still easy to heal over, but a follow-up headshot or two will pick off most heroes anyways.

    • @ClaraBennett
      @ClaraBennett Год назад +18

      @@TheUltimoSniper If you get the follow-up headshot for the kill after the axe, the healing stops. I’ve been playing her in TDM to get the arcade challenge and practice her kit, and there I can actually do a ton of self-heal because the enemy team always has at least 2 tanks. In role queue though, it seems a lot harder to get the self heals, because your wound target is either very squishy and dies before you get the full bleed duration, or you got too greedy for that juicy 3-man axe swing and die for it. In my (limited) experience, the bleed healing is really only noticeable on a big Rampage.
      I think the nerf to commanding shout’s cooldown probably made the bleed heals less effective too, since the overhealth can serve to buy time for the healing to work.

    • @ethandonnelly1973
      @ethandonnelly1973 Год назад +69

      @ethandonnelly1973 Год назад +22

      Another thing about her knife pull is that you can perform it while you're in other animations.
      For example if you toss the knife at someone and it hits, you can then hit her scythe and THEN pull back the knife and the knife pull will drag them into the scythe swing.
      On a 200HP target this can almost one shot and there isn't really anything they can do about it

      It genuinely breaks my heart to see Orisa so low. The entire point of Tank is to survive so you can maintain point, while keeping others off point, and in that she does phenomenally. It doesn't make her selfish because she isn't sharing her shield. She can tank damage and keep people at a range very well. Yes, her Ult BLOWS, but the rest of her kit is literally peak Tank.

Everytime she hits you with her knife [direct, or it passing through you as it returns, her axe attack, her melee, her ult], she's healing. When she jumps into your team and is bleeding everyone, even if her damage is lackluster, the lack of focus can easily let her sustain herself.

    After trying really hard to figure out how to use Orisa’s ult to actually get kills, I’ve decided that it’s best used as a really long-cooldown Halt or as minor area denial + second Fortify to buy time for getting other cooldowns back.

    I think Orisa's E gives more movement than you give her credit for. While it does only speed you up when moving forward you can, hear me out, turn towards where you need to go. Many times able to just barely get behind some cover with the little extra speed boost to get away from a DVA ult or more often then not realize you have over-extended and dip out. Also gives her a great way to engage her ultimate, which I think is way more useful than you give it credit for. Surely, better than Doomfists at least.

      Bro, if you want a Rein how-to guide, just watch Flats play. He's literally insane at the hero. He talks all the time about learning to look for cues from enemy players, where the best places to position are, when is a good time to be aggressive, etc. His channel is full of him watching other players and pointing out their mistakes as well. Rate my Rein, Spectating Bronze, and the old "Rein God watches Gold Rein player on Gibraltar" will have a ton of advice.

      @@MrZebanHai Thanks for the tips, I do not have much time to watch streams, but do watch all the YT videos he posts and have learnt things in between with tips on the fly.

    I appreciate the Bramble Blast (Stickerbrush Symphony) music for Winston. I see what you did there Flats, and I appreciate it.

    Overall Rankings: Queen 2.5, Doom 2.25, Rein 3.3, Zarya, 3.25, Orisa 2.5, Sigma 3.75, Ball 3.2, Winston 3.75, Dva 4.5, Hog 3
    I'd say Doom should gain shields after Power Block ends (not finishes) as with how The Best Defense works, he needs to be able to deal ability damage to sustain himself and that can be hard when his own ability damage is reliant him taking damage directly, leaving him vulnerable the entire time he tries to deal damage.
    As for Zarya, I really think the bubbles needed to be handled a different way, at the least having the charges be separate cds.

      I would try giving her a third bubble and increasing the cooldown time from 8 to 10

    I actually think junker Queen is dope i get good damage and literally beat a roadhog with her the other day

    give Junker Queen a 5% damage reduction on top of self healing for each enemy wounded and I think survivability will be boosted a lot and would actually be worth E'ing multiple targets and knifing the ground to get multiple wounds
