My friends and I always talk about how morale is very important when playing games. Morale is not talked about very much, but I’ve seen that it plays a HUGE role in competitive play. It’s hard to catch yourself when your morale is slipping, but when you do, and you’re able to turn it around, the games go smoother and it is much more fun even if you lose.
These one week challenge videos are honestly the best type of content. You have a goal and you are working towards that. That is exiting to watch with all the rollercoaster of emotions of ups and downs. Please do more of these.

@AntivenomOW I used to be one of the worst haha! Fun game though, played it for a little over a thousand hours and never got the hang of it but played it with my father and had some good times.
Open queue player here, we play Open queue to play multiple tanks, but we all still agree that 4 tanks kind of sucks to play against. Hoping the 6v6 experiment and flexible roles 5v5 will be a good middle point.
My guy has mastered the skills of making a banger video. Good job Kraan and Kraan's Editor! Edit: Btw, this editing style is crazy, just watched the whole thing and I think this the way to go Kraan, w editor.
In my opinion, open queue is more fun because you can do far more as a single player. Say your tank is dogshit? Switch to tank yourself to do the heavy lifting. It’s just much more freedom in lower ranks to change the tide of battle yourself, if there’s someone on your team that’s not playing their role well.
i also like open queue more and i think, it's an underappreciated mode. most would say it's easier but it's mainly a different skill set and aim is easier
Not even a Kraan fan but this was amazing OW content - one of the best videos i've seen in some time. Need to watch the guy more often! Love from a fellow EU tank player!
I honestly love Open Queue it is just so fun and the past few seasons ive found myself opting to play it over role queue. You sometimes get morons that cant/wont flex with what role character they play but that has always been the case in the game. Don't queue it if youre a mercy onetrick cause youre utterly a waste of space in that game mode lol.
Been playing more open que than role the past couple seasons. I will say its 100% more fun, and makes you less tiltled in role que where everyone just plays ball and doom everygame :)
And my mom said I couldn’t make money playing games 😎 also fire vid I personally love open queue cause my 5 stack has 2 tank mains and we also have more options for obscure comps like 4 healers and my doomfist which has worked more than times then you would expect

It's not better it's easier; open queue is always a mess you'll have five DPS and zero chance of winning. In OW2 it's usually whichever team has more Tanks because Tanks massacre supports and DPS they don't stand a chance. Open queue in OW2 just feels like the spot people try out new heroes and figure out their positioning on Role Queue before playing them in Ranked.
