God. The six Winston teams, 5 man rezzes with Mercy hiding and begging people to die on point, the payload combo of Reinhardt/Mercy/Bastion. Symmetra turret death walls/rooms. It's too real 😭 Hard to believe it's been 8 years since we've seen it like this
You know what I love watching this? Everyone is just having fun. Is it balanced? No. Not even close. But everyone is just chilling and laughing at the chaos that is overwatch classic. GG Flats n' Co. Awesome vid.
I havent smiled so big at an Overwatch video in such a long time. Seeing old creators that played and new creators that play just coming together and having some fun, no hard metas, strats, just a bunch of silliness and banter before it became super toxic. Tim was the first streamer i watched and now im glad I kept watching through Flats. This is the Joy everyone was missing and if they can home in on this more the game can be even more than what it is in its current state
@@TheGaloX Torb was so much stronger in his OG iteration it's funny to know that they reworked him because he was deemed so "weak and unflexible" at the time
Had a game with 6 torbs on defense, it was like a maze trying to survive all the turrets that were all over the place but me and my friend were just laughing the whole time from how silly it was
@@xEvilRaptorx I think it's more because stuff actually dies. The TTK is so much slower in current Overwatch. There was a while there where it was a tolerable speed, but it went back down again.
@snipingway I don't think it's the time to kill so much as it's the burst healing and how tanky everything is now like soo many abilities give damage reduction in live don't here and so many strong abilities have alot more risk reward and there there just some absurdly strong things on 90% of the heros and stuff doesn't just get healed up out of no where
@snipingway yes and no if the team let's say supports die or don't have the burst healing supports its honestly a faster time to kill now I mean look at how fast tanks can explode if a support doesn't look at them for a second it's odd to talk about cause in some cases like VS bap or kiri time to kills is much much longer but some characters in the game now have absurd time to kill think the conversion being abit odd is just the nature of the game have 40+ heros there's gonna be situations and outliners on both ends of the spectrum
Every thing feels much slower in a good way and as a Tank main I can't tell you how much I love the fact that I don't have to worry about half a dozen cheeky hyper mobility characters always getting around me. Everything for the most part stays in front of me and it feels great knowing that I don't have enemy dps living in my back line rent free. When you push people off high ground it means something now as most can not get instantly back up to it. Having a dps or tank heavy comps can be tough to fight, but the fact there is universal self healing passive and a limited amount of heros who can even self heal make it easy to chip away at all that health to eventually make space.
Do you mean like physically pushing them off? I always thought pushing them off meant putting out enough threat that if they do try to be there, they'll just die
@@emilydegroot6436 That is what it means, if you go and make a threat and force players off high ground, atm in ow2 live mode when you move on to try to play objective, the enemy team just pops right back onto high ground again because of abilities that give them high mobility. It makes it difficult to force the enemy team to get off high ground and force them to play on the objective if they can retake it with a button click.
Real, ever since the Ow2 beta I felt it was too fast I used to play a lot of Widow in ow1, I still love her but I often have to switch due to all the hypermobile flankers being so stressful to deal with You hit a couple shots and suddenly it's a survival game haha, sometimes I just want to chill and duel other precision chars in qp yknow Classic has been nice
Don't let this moment go by, you don't often get the chance to play the best game ever again untainted by the bad decisions the devs later made, for 3 weeks of fun I'd say a download is well worth it
@jaedengarcia8249 it's fun but a lot of people forget how unbalanced alot of characters were. I'm having a blast on it but I think that it showed me how much better overwatch got in late 2016 and early 2017
I'd say do it. Don't miss your chance. I dropped overwatch 2 because it became lame and textureless, and this is part of what I missed. What's more is if the devs see it's bringing more people into the game now, it could affect decisions they do to the live game too for the better.
@@yukioacumora4430 "overwatch 2 because it became lame and textureless" THIS IS EXACTLY WHAT IS WRONG WITH IT MAN, they've watered down the game so much and not just by reworks, but the valorant ass looking HUD and menus lmfao
I never got to experience this version of overwatch but watching people who don’t play overwatch on regular basis is a nice change of pace it brings me so much joy
This is exactly the overwatch I missed and adored playing back then, and will play the heck out of it whilst I can. Day one, 6v6, unbalanced and open queue, this is peak
Ive never caught a flats video on time, watching this before a job interview for good luck lol. I had no idea ow1 had no restrictions for characters winton funny as fuck
Playing this mode made me realize all the nice stuff that OverWatch 2 has done and just the balancing of OverWatch in general, but it also made me remember how much fun certain broken things were
also playing this mode confirmed how much soul ow2 does NOT have compared to ow1 lmao and the amount of healing and immorts makes ow2 so boring compared to classic..
Hi flats! The reason Reaper's TP seemed to not work is because you can't use it while falling/airborne until like s28! You jumped a few times and were frazzled, hope that helps!
I think it’s cool how they genuinely look like they’re having fun. That’s how this game should be played, with friends, just chilling... not solo queuing and raging to grind up.
52:35 i think this statement embodies og ow perfectly. It had incredibly high highs but some pretty low lows, ow2 is simply... good enough. Personally, I prefer the former.
The amount of nostalgia that i felt watching this was superb. Flats is right with that the good feels was mainly due to everyone being in team chat and having fun. Once you go solo its a different story, but man is he right about the games pacing just making sense. This is the Overwatch i remember that got me hooked from the start!
Just like old times! I've been watching this OW classic contents (including this one) and it makes me miss how fun OW was in a goofy way before it got seriously competitive. I hope the dev can find a way to bring this goofiness back. Maybe the junkenstein lab one will do. It's the kind of OW I want to play and I'm already sad that it's gone :(
I love this for Overwatch, I'd love to see them add in some of the first characters they added over the next three weeks too, like week 2 they introduce og Ana and then Sombra week 3. The nostalgia factor this has is insane.
as an ow2 player ive been really enjoying this mode, some characters feel so different but so fun. honestly they should keep sym like that, i really like the teleporter ult. i usually play mercy and omg it feels so weird not being able to sj and slingshot. the fact that superjump was a bug too is crazy.
40:42 Flats I also noticed that when I used Reaper but the only reason it doesn't work is if you are Jumping when trying to Tp. I guess you can only Tp when standing or on the ground specifically ☠️
Those comments aren’t even serious. Nobody expects anyone to have 100000 views in 2 seconds. It’s normal to have 5 views in like 3 seconds because it’s normal and that’s the joke.
@@brokenx9264 I genuinely can’t tell if you’re joking or obvious. The comment IS a joke, just like the other comments(those comments aren’t jokes, they’re either bots or children)
@ that’s the thing ur comment is a reactionary to their joke. Logically it makes sense if u get out ur feelings. U can’t just say it’s not a joke when that’s literally what it is😭💀That comment gets posted on everyone yt comment section even when they’re in their prime. It’s just a joke that literally holds 0 weight to it btw since it’s normal to have 2 views in 1 second
Never played og mercy, so the culture shock hit hard when i couldn't hop around and boost 😂. But Damn They Need To Bring Back No Recoil 76 & Soul Drops.
sykkuno in a flats video was not something that couldve have been predicted by the best psychics
MY THOUGHTS FR WHEN I SAW HIM ON THE THUMBNAIL :O
I just saw his name and was like “wait HUH?????”
Literally what I’m saying! I’m shocked!
Came to the comments to see if anyone said anything, not disappointed
Kinda crazy lineup - Kyedae, Tim, Sykk, Emong, Toorah, Lupo - look at all this content creation LOL
God. The six Winston teams, 5 man rezzes with Mercy hiding and begging people to die on point, the payload combo of Reinhardt/Mercy/Bastion. Symmetra turret death walls/rooms. It's too real 😭

Yeah it's so cheese it's actually fun. I don't know how they took ow serious back in 2016
I think because you cant ban anything and there can be mirror matchups it doenst matter, everyone can do the op sht
wow just like ow2.
the irony is that this patch of ow is closer to good balance than the current live patch has been
@@WhosBucci By far
"We have four Mercies, how did I die?!?!" "We have a hog, how do we have no hooks!?" yeah that tracks for launch OW LUL

@@Bubblex2 this is why overwatch 1 was peak it was more fun and less sweaty
@@Bubblex2 I loved the 'infiltrating a base' feel to the 2cp maps in ow1 lol
This is weirdly so much more fun to watch than current overwatch.

Good luck!
Get that job !
Sykkuno joining Flats in OW was something I never saw coming.
We need more groups like this. This was the most fun alot of you have had in a long time. Great job man.
Tim missing the Cree standing almost PERFECTLY STILL definitely shows who was the WRONG PERSON to play Hog
"Who got next on the health pack" is CRAZY LMAOO. I missed 6v6 so much
15:10 Flats being absolutely stunned that Shatter was longer on Live than it is in Classic is very funny to me
yeah, todays shatter gets you in narnia lol, i am honestly still used to old ones range personally, the range of todays shatter is REALLY stupid imo
Playing this mode made me realize all the nice stuff that OverWatch 2 has done and just the balancing of OverWatch in general, but it also made me remember how much fun certain broken things were
OW1 did all the optimization before OW2. OW Classic is patch 1 which is NOT the same as like say 2018-2019 overwatch

We were in the trenches 2016 😂
Watching him backcap because they just forgot he existed when he went around the corner made me be like "wow it really is 2016 again"
“ Careful with the Sym orbs, they are really hard to dodge”
18:59 how do we have 1 hog and no hooks was savage 😂😂😂
Hi flats! The reason Reaper's TP seemed to not work is because you can't use it while falling/airborne until like s28! You jumped a few times and were frazzled, hope that helps!

Has he been playing nonstop and still not gotten any better?

SAME lol
As someone who's started in ow2, ow classic is fun af

Imagine trying to have fun on OW, and you see Flats and Emongg instalock Winston and shred the backline
its honestly hard to imagine this clunky game winning game of the year in 2016 but I am having fun with it
At 49:02 where Flats clearly had the biggest flame locked and loaded for Tim's Grav lmao
Aha, the secret, little known companion to "FLATS ALREADY HAS HAMMER?!": "ASPEN ALREADY HAS RES?!"
I like how long flats kept doing the hog hook spin before he realized that wasn't a thing.
18:50
Emongg with a sick burn is PEAK
all tim needed to get back on track with winston was getting back OW1 lmao
Tim: "How do I have 4 Mercy's and no Rez's?!"
Emongg: "How do we have 1 Roadhog and no Hooks?!"

Watching Aspen play Hanamura is delightful
