Unwritten rule: Don't tell someone to switch heroes without recommending another hero for them to play. It's annoying when someone tells you to switch off a hero and then Dono Walls you.
unwritten rules: Lucio isn't bad just cause they're Lucio, they're bad because they're not a reddit Lucio. If in doubt, pick Mccree. Always, Always, help your teammates spawncamp. Never argue with the Zen with gold damage. Sub to KarQ immediately. If the enemy run Bastion, yell at your DPS until they play a counter because it's their fault you're dying. If you have bastion on attack not on a payload map, you're screwed. On Illios well, play characters with boop abilities; respect the fuhnieh map. Stop running Hog-D.va. As Genji, always spam "I need healing" when you're only missing 1hp (to fulfil the meme). If someone on the enemy team says that you're gay for saying "GLHF", play flanking Bastion. Widow is only bad if they have less than ten kills at the end of a game. Nano-Rein is NOT countered by Brig. Junkertown sucks, make sure to throw because of that. Always remember that B.O.B will die in two seconds if the enemy have: Bastion, Sombra, Zen, B.O.B, Echo, or D.va. Sigma is not as good as you think without Rein. If you have gold healing as Hog, then your supports are the problem. Never, Never, interrupt a sniper duel.
If you're shooting the enemy and you both keep whiffing your shots: stand still, look them in the eye, say "Hello" and walk away from the interaction. Never talk about that interaction ever again.
Yeah, a corollary is that if you're a teammate you must interfere with a Hanzo v Hanzo fight, as neither player can leave it voluntarily so you need to end the pain.
@@grife3000 the amount of times I've been in a hanzo 1v1 for a minute + straight only for us to both finally hit the shot and kill each other at the same time is immeasurable.
When someone pings the "Group up with me" of "Fall Back" I like to respond with the "Acknowledged". I like to think it promotes team play even if none of us are using voice chat.
yeah if you dont talk in vc just set up and use the pings they help. had a ball spam group up with me to help him with a flanking reaper worked nicely stunned and blocked a few shots with my brig shield and double booped him into the water.
I will say a condition for this, if you're running something like Ana Zen or Bap Zen and the Zen doesn't have tranq but you've got two critical tanks, please heal them, Zen does not heal fast enough for both to be full hp by the next team fight
I always farm ult fast so I have it before my other support so I try to only heal people to save them and let the other support top everyone off but a lot of times the mf just won't heal!
My personal favourite rule: Let your main tanks have an ego, and actively try to make it bigger in a match. The more confidence you have as an MT, the better they are to perform.
People really don't understand this. If you're playing main tank and don't act like you're better than your opponent you're not gonna win. On rein especially
@@Grizzy6122 I have had it happen only once in quick match. Although the capping the objective part was from me beating everyone else over the head immediately after lol
Another Rule: DON'T wake a sleeping Nano-Boost unless you are 100% certain you can kill them. This especially applies to Nano-Winstons with Primal ready
While playing hog you MUST hook the DVa bomb into your team whenever possible. Hook the BOB, too, and whole hog the pinning rein into one of your teammates.
You would be very killable while doing this because of how vulnerable Lucio is while ulting . And if you’re falling while ulting, there’s nothing you can do
@@gameexplorer10 Nah, people will respect it. They'll be so in awe of your wall-riding prowess that they even forget to kill your teammate in the 5 seconds it takes you to hit the floor
Some of my own: - Always thank your healers when they heal you - Endorse decent healers and tanks (dps that carry games get some priority after these two lol)
@@simply_pet yeah, as a healer i really only kinda want one when i save someone (like, getting the pop up). i dont need it for crossfading on lucio for like 10 seconds
i generally say thanks any time someone buffs me or saves my life, just good manners and i always endorse people who genuinely helped the team, not just ran around gathering as many kills as possible. generally, if I noticed your involvement in a game, youre probably doing something right (or really wrong).
It always makes me feel happy when I get a 'Thanks!' pop up after making a clutch heal/res/lamp/sleep play. They're my play of the game moments as a support.
@@brolacoleo1619 I go there to get some aim practice against other people between rounds. If the other person says hello, then I will leave them alone... but it is super frustrating at times when everyone wants to chill and you're in the game for its actual purpose.
probably the most important rule of all that you missed, is: LOOK AT WHAT HEALERS YOU HAVE, AND PLAY AROUND THEIR RANGE/LOS/POSITION. don't be that guy that dies spamming i need healing, while never actually knowing where your healers were the whole time.
Every Ana has facepalmed as someone runs behind a wall then demands healing. Sure, let me leave a good position to run across the map and die because I'm in a dumb spot just for you.
One that I like to do as support is let the team know when they're down one (or both) supports, in case they don't check the kill feed. Calls like "you only have Lucio heals for a bit" or "both heals are down" helps people make more informed decisions imo
Agreed - I always use the voicelines "I'm sorry" followed by "I'm on my way" to indicate that I just died, followed by more "On my way" when I respawn and whenever someone looks like in desperate need of healing while I'm still coming back from spawn.
@@wig.snatcher you know, to be honest I prefer waiting even longer for OW2 personally, just so it can be properly polished, instead of getting a half-baked Cyberpunk77 type game. They should've added a support hero at least for the last two years though
I agree with every single support rule. Also as someone who mostly plays Mercy I can confirm every Mercy will LOVE you when you help them when they fall. No exception
YES i will always make note of it and endorse them at the end, or when they need healing so they back into a position for GA instead of just spamming the heal chat
It helps when the Mercy actually communicates that they're falling. In the middle of a team fight, or even just a poke battle, I'm not gonna be turning around a whole lot, so I usually don't even know it's happening unless I'm told as such.
I also do that in most of my games but only when our tanks are actually good or tried their best. Tanks that overextend especially Reins charging deep into the enemy automatically don't get endorsement from me.
I rarely see anyone helping mercy get back from spawn even in ranked. I thought it would be more common especially for mobile heroes. If I’m on genji, doom, ball or lucio i always do it.
If I’m on any tank that’s not Orisa/Hog/Sig I’ll wait the extra 2-3 seconds for my Mercy to respawn and turn around to face spawn to acknowledge “Yes I see you there”. As for those 3, I’ll wait closer to the fight as incase I need to hop into it. 9/10 it’s more worth it to charge out of spawn with Mercy on you and contest with her vs charging onto point and dying cause she’s 3 seconds behind you.
I always pick up mercy as pharah, sadly sometimes they just ignore me in the air and slowly walk back even tho I'm spamming commands to make her aware of my positioning.
@@Flunksqk Depending on your SR, the Mercy’s SR, and how often they play Mercy, there’s a good chance it’s just sensory overload from seeing at least half the team, if not everyone, critical. I’ve noticed that for the most part, the lower the SR of the Mercy (or tank for a Lucio taxi), the more likely they are to ignore the taxi if it’s not already someone that’s supposed to be in the center of their screen to take whatever route they think will be faster
As someone who plays mercy quite a lot, yeah, usually most people just walk off around corners/walls/objects/just don't even wait those 2 seconds to be in GA range and it's so frustrating xD I'm always so pleasantly surprised by people who help taxi back!
The best time I ever had in Overwatch was when I was playing Pharah and kept taxi-ing a random Mercy who was pocketing me. We had lots of fun voice line interactions... Man, I miss her.
My personal fav is to have a chill/friendly time with the enemy if there are leavers in any of the teams Probably the only times you can actually use those dance, sit and looped emotes outside custom games
For Rule #6, there is an exception. If you think the opposing team is going to run Pharah, those rails can absolutely save you from being booped off of highground.
@@brolacoleo1619 oh no. out of habit I always punch the railings on everything -- like everything. so one time when I saw doom standing on the left side railings I was like whatever and punched them anyways. in chat he goes "I NEEDED THOSE" and I laughed because who needs railings?? ...apparently him.
The thing you have to do is shame them by standing in front of them when they turn around then shifting your view up and down from them and the health pack. Of course, this only works with players who can experience shame so don't expect this to work with Genji
Nija Pyrosphere As Ana: *lock eyes* « I need Healing! » *look healthpack* « Mssh - Mssh - Mssh momken. » *aggressive nope* As Zen: « I need healing! » *lock eyes* ... *pop ult and go* As Mercy: *lock eyes* *damage boost only for most of the game on said ally* Most the time, lock eyes and pop your defensive/high healing ult, they should get the message lol.
Another one is if an ally is asleep near the fight, try to protect them as a tank as much as possible. Even as roadhog you can bodyblock and use your vape
more people need to let their support heal them while taking damage after a team fight. i try to tell my team not to break hamster mines so our healers can farm ult. also, if you are playing support and have your ult, let your other one get theirs if there isnt a team fight.
spamming "my ultimate is ready"at a person u wanna combo with and rhey repeat the same words u say understand then u spam my ult is ready the moment ur about to use ur ultimate
For how many times I'm in this video, I'm expecting a 10% cut from that Sponsor segment, Thank you in advance. PS. I'll take it in gifted subs please :)
My favorite is playing a voice line when you ult cancel someone and then immediately delete them. "Was that supposed to scare me?" on Brig after ult canceling and then murdering a Reaper is just *chef's kiss*. I also like "Pfft, You can't be serious" on Dva. Also waving to someone after you boop them off the map.
it's the very reason I have my middle mouse button on Lucio set to "Why are you so angry?" and upscroll to "Boop!" Same setup on Rein but upscroll "Fetch me my hammer!" mb3 "Bring me another!"
My personal rule is if a healer gets a card at the end of the match, UPVOTE THEM!!!!! Healing is one of the most thankless jobs in these types of games
I always feel so slow when I'm just a little too far to fly and I'm just jumping and walking toward them. But I always give them a Thanks! if they do and give em some of that juicy blue beam
I haven't been playing a lot of OW this year but I already knew all of these rules. Yet it still found myself smiling throughout the video thinking about good memories and seeing the funny clips you added. Thank you very much for this video KarQ
4:19 as a mercy main I can't stress this enough. If you do not keep your main healer alive and your comp heavily relies on healing you're basically screwed. Unless the team fight is heavily in your favour you can damage boost but otherwise PRIORITIZE YOUR SECOND SUPPORT thank you 🙏
The Jayne easter egg😭 I miss that content so much. Also the habit from years of rule 35 2:03 is why friends always flame me for bad comms when I play other games lol
I have my personal rule: When an enemy comes towards me and just says "Hey" and doesnt shoot me, I wont shoot them. Had some matches where I was best friend with an enemy and we never shot eachother when we saw us in a fight
I do the same but only in prematch lobbies and custom matches, I don't play ranked at all so qp and arcade is all I have and I kinda just want to play the game, but I always write something in chat along the lines of "I acknowledge your friendliness and I respect it but I'm still gonna play"
Honestly they could take out the tutorial in game and just have people watch this. SO many INCREDIBLE nuggets of wisdom. This may be my favorite of all. Which is saying something because I adore your content
Use deadeye to reload exclusively. Addendum: If you intend to use it to kill someone it is mandatory to die while or after ulting. Addendum applies to rocket barrage as a rule by itself.
3:16 had a team do this for me when everyone on my team left cuz we got rolled, trust me it's literally the best feeling in the world. I also got 1v1s with an enemy widow another time while their team watched and encouraged us. It's absolutely amazing 💞
If you are Rein and have ult and the enemy tank is also a Rein it’s mandatory for both to meet in the middle of the map, dance a little and try to make the other Rein pop ult first. You’ll know if the Enemy Rein will have their ult it’s second nature.
Unwritten Rule: If your supports call out a Tracer living in your backline and ask for a DPS swap, just swap to Torb/Cassidy and play with them without trying to blame the other DPS.
i think this should be a unwritten rule: if the enemy team has a leaver whos for sure not coming back if your team wins you have to say "sry for leaver wp"
"Any game is winnable" this is absolutely true. One time my team was longing 99 to 50 in control and in the last minute we pulled off an amazing clutch where our team never let go of the control point. Overtime and keeping the enemy team out of the point was key. Even if we didn't kill them. It was just as good for them to stay away.
Note on 26 - DO NOT LEAVE insane thing that is somehow still a bug in this game: If you leave after the timer tells you you can, you get reduced SR gains for the next few matches. This has happened to me personally as recently as December of last year (I got 3 SR for the next game I won) and I have seen no patches indicating its been fixed. If you care about your SR, do NOT leave.
Unwritten rule for anytime you play against Widow: Whenever she has wallhacks active, you must stand behind a wall and wave hello to her, no matter what hero you play :)
I see you in comments a lot You can also bait her by strafing left and right making it look like you’re about to walk into the open, keeping her attention on you for at least part of the ult’s duration
@@realchiknuggets Oh no is my presence that noticeable XD Well I do be kinda simping for KarQ content.. And yes your tip is the actually practical variant, a fine addition to the unwritten rulebook
@@Real_MisterSir not gonna lie I still haven’t seen the video yet lmao it’s sitting at the top of my Watch Later filled to the brim with 4k+ other videos (the limit is 5k)
My awards for some the rules you presented : "I do a saner version of this rule" Award goes to rule 40 : Always say "gg" in game chat at the end of the game. If the game was a fair one, it's sportsmanship. If the enemy team had a cheater who has been called out during the game and you lost because of them, it's sarcastic and they will bear the shame on their consciousness. "That hits too close to home" Award goes to rule 29 : I really have a friend who mains D.Va and spams "I need healing" 60 seconds a minute when in game. "I disagree with this" Award goes to rule 24 : Respect the POTG, regardless of who made it. "Don't do a variant of this rule" Award goes to rule 19 : If you're in voice chat for a large portion of the game, it's not okay to talk ONLY to flame your teammates. You have a mic, might as well use it for making constructive calls.
from one support player to others, thank your dps and tanks when they help with flankers or protect you in other ways (especially during rez). if you wanna be thanked for doing your job, make sure you thank others for doing their jobs too!
Sombra unwritten rules from personal experience and watching FITZY: 1) If you are lower ranks and you are losing, always blame Sombra (even if somehow they have gold medals) 2) Always solo ult the Sigma ult 3) Spawn camping Zen is a must 4) When approaching a scoping Widow while in invisibility, use the 'Boop' or 'Youre not alone in here' voice line to scare the shart out of them 5) Always ask for the nano... Sombra's nanoed SMG sound is the most underrated part of the game
As a main tank main, supports are my best friends and personal heroes. I always pick up my Mercy from spawn/wait for her if she died after me I always try to shield dead teammates, if the situation allows it, so my Mercy can ga to me and rez safely 2 of my 3 endorsements automatically go to my supports (unless they gave me a good reason not to) "good teammate" or "shotcaller" only, supports also get my vote for the end cards. If my support picks Lucio and speeds me around the map the entire game as Rein, that's a guaranteed shotcaller endorsement, the highest reward I can give. (Seriously, thank you!) If anyone flames my supports in vc for not healing enough I'll speak up to defend them if needed I always thank my supports for healing and saving me If possible I stand still so Ana or Bap can heal me more easily (I'm on console, low plat. So aim isn't always that good on moving targets) Thank you, dear support mains. I love and appreciate you.
-If you've been pinned by a Reinhardt charge or slept by an Ana make sure to say thank you -If someone got cc'd off the map say hello as they fall -Getting punched by soldier is actually an act of friendship
Something I'd like to call "bordershaming". Just because you're not playing with at least 3 different account because you can't boost your friends on main, or are just too scared to take a dive with MMR, doesn't give the right to call out if someone with a diamond border is stuck to certain rank or plays like trash. Or call them virgin for having grinded a single account, some people are somewhat sensitive about it. In general smurfing is something that is a problem, but since Blizzard loves money from all the extra accounts (and even pro gamers romanticize it), they won't do anything. But that's a topic for another video. They really should do it like Dota does, no registered phone number, no competitive.
I like how all of these have different degrees of satire but his tone stays the same. He's explaining team strats, you blink, he's asking you to teabag sleeping people.
If the enemy team c-9s because of a Sig ult, you are allowed the deep pleasure of typing Sig9 into the chat and absolutely must do so or you are a failure.
RULE 42: If you're playing Rein and your Doom engages a few enemies at once, CHARGE IN. You will either distract so Doom can kill/escape or YOU will get a kill. Or both. (Don't do this in the middle of a team fight)
Another rule is if you see a rein 1v1 where both Reinhardts are under the effects of nano boost then you must have duel of the fates playing over team voice
3:04 If im on hog I like to sit on the teammate to block the few stray damage they might take. Always get a laugh if they use a thank you voice line in response. 7:00 Or if you're just weak after a team fight has won, let your healers get the healing so avoid self healing (if applicable) or getting health packs. My support duo says ball players are the worst at this, team fights already won and over, they're low and roll around at mac 10 and pick up all the packs or go back to spawn for healing instead of giving it to their healers. Goes for other supports as well, if you have your ult already, give the healing to your other support. And I'll add my own, even though I don't think its an unwritten rule (it should be). If you're playing comp you shouldn't give up before the games over. The game isn't over until the screen says either victory or defeat. Stalls and comebacks can and do happen, you never know what might have happened if you didn't afk in spawn for the last portion of the match. Maybe one of your teammates touches and stalls for a bit, which would've put you in position to stall too had you not afked in spawn. Maybe that time could've been enough for a support ult that turns the fight etc.
@@LadyVineXIII that reminds me of this one jayne video where a GM player, a pro player I think, carried a 3v6 or maybe 4v6. It was called something like “how hard can a pro player carry a lobby” (Edit) found it ruclips.net/video/0rp6VUt5dkg/видео.html
@@realchiknuggets Yeah, but this was Silver Randos vs Silver Randos. XD No GMs or Pros involved. I remember that Jayne vid though. I think it was one of the DPS Pros from his team who was rockin' Tracer.

It really is the only role that I desperately need people to be overly confident on
Can confirm works on me, a person who is shit at MT but when I play with my friends all of the sudden im god-tier lol
People really don't understand this. If you're playing main tank and don't act like you're better than your opponent you're not gonna win. On rein especially
Always say hello when you're stalling in cryo as Mei surrounded by the enemy team like a pack of hungry hyenas.
It makes my day when I say hi while surrounded by a rein and doom, and at least the brig says hi back

ok who woke the sleeping bob?

Mercy taxi. I always get a thank you for that :)
ur a real one
I never leave spawn without my team, unless they're ahead of me
One that I like to do as support is let the team know when they're down one (or both) supports, in case they don't check the kill feed. Calls like "you only have Lucio heals for a bit" or "both heals are down" helps people make more informed decisions imo
Agreed - I always use the voicelines "I'm sorry" followed by "I'm on my way" to indicate that I just died, followed by more "On my way" when I respawn and whenever someone looks like in desperate need of healing while I'm still coming back from spawn.
@@thenastyfridge i played as a moira with a mercy that did just like you ! Had her two games in a row on my team, nice games 🫡👍 5:28
“I’ve played Overwatch for over six years now.” Oh god, I dont need a reminder of how long its been
ITS BEEN 6 YEARS????
@@LHZOZ777 Yep, time flies man!
And 3years of no content
@@wig.snatcher you know, to be honest I prefer waiting even longer for OW2 personally, just so it can be properly polished, instead of getting a half-baked Cyberpunk77 type game. They should've added a support hero at least for the last two years though
Dude my niece is younger than overwatch and she's in school now it freaks me out
"if neither you or your friend got play of the game, leave immediately" that one actually sent me cause thats exactly what we do💀💀💀
I agree with every single support rule. Also as someone who mostly plays Mercy I can confirm every Mercy will LOVE you when you help them when they fall. No exception
Whenever I see our Mercy's face in the kill-feed with no cause of death shown I feel so guilty.
YES i will always make note of it and endorse them at the end, or when they need healing so they back into a position for GA instead of just spamming the heal chat
It helps when the Mercy actually communicates that they're falling. In the middle of a team fight, or even just a poke battle, I'm not gonna be turning around a whole lot, so I usually don't even know it's happening unless I'm told as such.
A pharah came back to get me out of a team fight after I res’d and I just about swooned
“Make sure and endorse your main tanks, they’re a rare breed.” First time Ive felt appreciated in awhile 😭
i usually do that with supports tbh
Your name looks familiar for some reason
Same
Frz
I also do that in most of my games but only when our tanks are actually good or tried their best. Tanks that overextend especially Reins charging deep into the enemy automatically don't get endorsement from me.
You must sit emote on the payload when you're attacking and your whole team ran off
Gotta make space, only one guy needs to sit on cart. Denying the enemies from even getting another touch while the one guy pushes cart
I once backcapped a nearly lost round while dance emoting as lucio; they were PISSED and their soldier and zarya both popped ults to kill me
I've done this as Mercy because the whole team ran ahead. At least a Doom eventually came and sat with me.
KarQ really still making S tier OW content in 2022, the goat
Xqcow still giving KarQ great overwatch content in 2022 lol
You forgot one detail on rein kings tow mirror the defending rein must spam “are you afraid to fight me” or “Come here” etc
lol i love spamming that
:You shame yourself!" When theyre beaten back.
**BEER**
"Are you chicken?"
mine will always go in one order "come here" then "bring me another" then "BEER"
I rarely see anyone helping mercy get back from spawn even in ranked. I thought it would be more common especially for mobile heroes. If I’m on genji, doom, ball or lucio i always do it.
A fellow movement player??
If I’m on any tank that’s not Orisa/Hog/Sig I’ll wait the extra 2-3 seconds for my Mercy to respawn and turn around to face spawn to acknowledge “Yes I see you there”. As for those 3, I’ll wait closer to the fight as incase I need to hop into it. 9/10 it’s more worth it to charge out of spawn with Mercy on you and contest with her vs charging onto point and dying cause she’s 3 seconds behind you.
I always pick up mercy as pharah, sadly sometimes they just ignore me in the air and slowly walk back even tho I'm spamming commands to make her aware of my positioning.
@@Flunksqk Depending on your SR, the Mercy’s SR, and how often they play Mercy, there’s a good chance it’s just sensory overload from seeing at least half the team, if not everyone, critical. I’ve noticed that for the most part, the lower the SR of the Mercy (or tank for a Lucio taxi), the more likely they are to ignore the taxi if it’s not already someone that’s supposed to be in the center of their screen to take whatever route they think will be faster
As someone who plays mercy quite a lot, yeah, usually most people just walk off around corners/walls/objects/just don't even wait those 2 seconds to be in GA range and it's so frustrating xD I'm always so pleasantly surprised by people who help taxi back!
My personal favourite is waving to enemies after I hook them off the map while playing Hog.
It's only good manners to wave them as they leave the world.
My personal fav is killing roadhog aka, demon spawn
Every time I boop someone off the map as Ball, I always exit ball-form, stand at the edge, look down, and say hello
The best time I ever had in Overwatch was when I was playing Pharah and kept taxi-ing a random Mercy who was pocketing me. We had lots of fun voice line interactions... Man, I miss her.
Don't forget to always thank your Mercy when she rez you. It's just being polite.
i always do that
Thank her for rezing you in the middle of the enemy team so you can die again
As a mercy player this puts a smile on my face.
Just always thank a mercy. It’s always nice and she’s doing her best
UNLESS it's in a spot where there are a bunch of enemies nearby.
Then it's just silly and...well the thought counts.
It doesn't matter if it's QP, mystery hero, death match or competitive, if the enemy Ana says hi it's a war crime to kill her
My personal fav is to have a chill/friendly time with the enemy if there are leavers in any of the teams
Probably the only times you can actually use those dance, sit and looped emotes outside custom games
For Rule #6, there is an exception. If you think the opposing team is going to run Pharah, those rails can absolutely save you from being booped off of highground.
Another thing, as a doom player it helps ALOT with rollouts, so if you have a doom on your team, leave the rail in the left for them pls 😊
@@brolacoleo1619 same with widow positioning. sometimes the slight elevation of the rails can give you a good angle.
@@brolacoleo1619 oh no. out of habit I always punch the railings on everything -- like everything. so one time when I saw doom standing on the left side railings I was like whatever and punched them anyways. in chat he goes "I NEEDED THOSE" and I laughed because who needs railings?? ...apparently him.
@@duckling6905 yea they are very important in some cases
@@duckling6905 BULKHEAD I NEEDED THAT!
I really feel #20 at my core. The number of times a Roadhog or Mei has ran and stolen a health pack from me as a support just hurts my soul.
same... especially when i'm actively healing them
The thing you have to do is shame them by standing in front of them when they turn around then shifting your view up and down from them and the health pack. Of course, this only works with players who can experience shame so don't expect this to work with Genji
Nija Pyrosphere
As Ana:
*lock eyes* « I need Healing! »
*look healthpack* « Mssh - Mssh - Mssh momken. » *aggressive nope*
As Zen:
« I need healing! » *lock eyes* ...
*pop ult and go*
As Mercy:
*lock eyes*
*damage boost only for most of the game on said ally*
Most the time, lock eyes and pop your defensive/high healing ult, they should get the message lol.
If enemy Sig rocks you out of Flux, you hit them with the respectful "Hello" while you're stunned
Another one is if an ally is asleep near the fight, try to protect them as a tank as much as possible. Even as roadhog you can bodyblock and use your vape
Unless I am support, I do this.
Teabagging them while they're down counts as a body block and also headshot dodging.
more people need to let their support heal them while taking damage after a team fight. i try to tell my team not to break hamster mines so our healers can farm ult. also, if you are playing support and have your ult, let your other one get theirs if there isnt a team fight.
spamming "my ultimate is ready"at a person u wanna combo with and rhey repeat the same words u say understand then u spam my ult is ready the moment ur about to use ur ultimate
im had stroke
Most important rule: Widow must go for trick shot on eco point Antarctica mirrors as their first shot. Also no smg sprays, all scope.
And then both miss lol
@@brolacoleo1619 yes no one hits lol
For how many times I'm in this video, I'm expecting a 10% cut from that Sponsor segment, Thank you in advance. PS. I'll take it in gifted subs please :)
Yooooo, it’s flats!
I will gladly sub to you.
For how many times you and R3tro post King's Row, we thank you for your contributions.
I mean, you skipped the sponsor part.
Happy birthday @flats
My favorite is playing a voice line when you ult cancel someone and then immediately delete them. "Was that supposed to scare me?" on Brig after ult canceling and then murdering a Reaper is just *chef's kiss*. I also like "Pfft, You can't be serious" on Dva.
Also waving to someone after you boop them off the map.
oh yea, the waving XD
it's the very reason I have my middle mouse button on Lucio set to "Why are you so angry?" and upscroll to "Boop!" Same setup on Rein but upscroll "Fetch me my hammer!" mb3 "Bring me another!"
Did this once and the fragile fuck had the audacity to teabag on the next kill
Or if you Out-deadeye the other McCree/Cassidy, you should say: "You done?"
I love how positive this whole video is, definately karq’s best video in a while
My personal rule is if a healer gets a card at the end of the match, UPVOTE THEM!!!!! Healing is one of the most thankless jobs in these types of games
yes absolutely, I don't care what the other cards are or if they're on the other team. If I see a healer with a card, I up-vote them
the love i feel as a mercy when someone picks me up from spawn
I always feel so slow when I'm just a little too far to fly and I'm just jumping and walking toward them. But I always give them a Thanks! if they do and give em some of that juicy blue beam
I haven't been playing a lot of OW this year but I already knew all of these rules. Yet it still found myself smiling throughout the video thinking about good memories and seeing the funny clips you added. Thank you very much for this video KarQ
4:19 as a mercy main I can't stress this enough. If you do not keep your main healer alive and your comp heavily relies on healing you're basically screwed. Unless the team fight is heavily in your favour you can damage boost but otherwise PRIORITIZE YOUR SECOND SUPPORT thank you 🙏
Unwritten rule, if jay3 is on your team always shout “THERES A BUG ON YOU” then pop your ult
I totally forgot about that
Or if he's on the enemy team, type "got the bug" every time you kill him
5:17 most iconic hilarious ow clip to this day
The Jayne easter egg😭 I miss that content so much. Also the habit from years of rule 35 2:03 is why friends always flame me for bad comms when I play other games lol
I have my personal rule: When an enemy comes towards me and just says "Hey" and doesnt shoot me, I wont shoot them. Had some matches where I was best friend with an enemy and we never shot eachother when we saw us in a fight
We had something similar called "cousin defense" in basketball. Let him get his and he'll let you get yours.
Can confirm; later on you literally have them in your sights and you just can't but hover over them. And they do the same to you.
@@PaulHoleybatch I had a Genji with Nanoblade who dashed to me, saw who I was, said hello and went away xD
I recently did that as Tracer to a junkrat, it was great
I do the same but only in prematch lobbies and custom matches, I don't play ranked at all so qp and arcade is all I have and I kinda just want to play the game, but I always write something in chat along the lines of "I acknowledge your friendliness and I respect it but I'm still gonna play"
When playing rein in qp, never shatter without him being in it. You gotta get that rein diff somehow
Unless you're using it to cancel an enemy ult, like Dragonblade or something. That's an acceptable exception. Otherwise, absolutely correct.
Honestly they could take out the tutorial in game and just have people watch this. SO many INCREDIBLE nuggets of wisdom. This may be my favorite of all. Which is saying something because I adore your content
Loved the variety of tips from funny to serious. Keep up the good vids
When you and an enemy Rein are both shielding, you must both say "Hello" or get firestruck.
Use deadeye to reload exclusively.
Addendum: If you intend to use it to kill someone it is mandatory to die while or after ulting.
Addendum applies to rocket barrage as a rule by itself.
I love Zarya’s voice line where she says “It’s only a game why you have to be mad” I love it
3:16 had a team do this for me when everyone on my team left cuz we got rolled, trust me it's literally the best feeling in the world. I also got 1v1s with an enemy widow another time while their team watched and encouraged us. It's absolutely amazing 💞
If you are Rein and have ult and the enemy tank is also a Rein it’s mandatory for both to meet in the middle of the map, dance a little and try to make the other Rein pop ult first. You’ll know if the Enemy Rein will have their ult it’s second nature.
I've always seen the callout "He's one" to mean "He's on quick-melee away from death", so approx 35 HP
Same, but sometimes by the time you see it and call it out, they get healed
But yeah that call would be one hit if someone says one they usually just want you to focus that person they are rarely one (Melee is 30 btw )
Quick melee does 30 damage
Don't wanna be that guy but I'm a educational expert
I like to say half when they are half one when they are at about 30% health and „actually one“ when they are about 15% and under
i use "one" when they are less than 25% hp probably and i use "absolute" for when they are literally one hit
The honorable rien diff of kings row will forever be my fondest memory of this game
Unwritten Rule: If your supports call out a Tracer living in your backline and ask for a DPS swap, just swap to Torb/Cassidy and play with them without trying to blame the other DPS.
The T-Bag defense when someone is sleeping still works up to this day
unwritten rule #40+, if you get resurrected, always say Thanks. it’s just common courtesy.
If I say "Hello" to you as Mercy in spawn and you don't say "Hello" back, you're not getting the pocket 😤
i think this should be a unwritten rule: if the enemy team has a leaver whos for sure not coming back if your team wins you have to say "sry for leaver wp"
"Any game is winnable" this is absolutely true. One time my team was longing 99 to 50 in control and in the last minute we pulled off an amazing clutch where our team never let go of the control point. Overtime and keeping the enemy team out of the point was key. Even if we didn't kill them. It was just as good for them to stay away.
4:10 man I miss Jayne
Yeah, did he quit RUclips?

Note on 26 - DO NOT LEAVE
insane thing that is somehow still a bug in this game: If you leave after the timer tells you you can, you get reduced SR gains for the next few matches. This has happened to me personally as recently as December of last year (I got 3 SR for the next game I won) and I have seen no patches indicating its been fixed. If you care about your SR, do NOT leave.
Sage advice.
Thank you, did not know this. Certainly have fallen victim to this trap then.
Similar to Widows saying hi to each other, Reins must always say hi to enemy Rein if they meet before team fights. We know who's carrying the team...
Yo I'm the Rein at 6:20, wasn't expecting to see myself in a KarQ video lol
Unwritten rule for anytime you play against Widow: Whenever she has wallhacks active, you must stand behind a wall and wave hello to her, no matter what hero you play :)
I see you in comments a lot
You can also bait her by strafing left and right making it look like you’re about to walk into the open, keeping her attention on you for at least part of the ult’s duration
@@realchiknuggets Oh no is my presence that noticeable XD Well I do be kinda simping for KarQ content..

@@karamei what's yours at?
My awards for some the rules you presented :
"I do a saner version of this rule" Award goes to rule 40 : Always say "gg" in game chat at the end of the game. If the game was a fair one, it's sportsmanship. If the enemy team had a cheater who has been called out during the game and you lost because of them, it's sarcastic and they will bear the shame on their consciousness.
"That hits too close to home" Award goes to rule 29 : I really have a friend who mains D.Va and spams "I need healing" 60 seconds a minute when in game.
"I disagree with this" Award goes to rule 24 : Respect the POTG, regardless of who made it.
"Don't do a variant of this rule" Award goes to rule 19 : If you're in voice chat for a large portion of the game, it's not okay to talk ONLY to flame your teammates. You have a mic, might as well use it for making constructive calls.
from one support player to others, thank your dps and tanks when they help with flankers or protect you in other ways (especially during rez). if you wanna be thanked for doing your job, make sure you thank others for doing their jobs too!
Gotta love how it's a mix of "don't be toxic", "be a bit toxic", ""do this very important strategic thing", and "don't do the strategic thing".
4:20 more often than not mercy mains do help the other healer but the other healer doesn't help the mercy
Sombra unwritten rules from personal experience and watching FITZY:
1) If you are lower ranks and you are losing, always blame Sombra (even if somehow they have gold medals)
2) Always solo ult the Sigma ult
3) Spawn camping Zen is a must
4) When approaching a scoping Widow while in invisibility, use the 'Boop' or 'Youre not alone in here' voice line to scare the shart out of them
5) Always ask for the nano... Sombra's nanoed SMG sound is the most underrated part of the game
As a main tank main, supports are my best friends and personal heroes.
I always pick up my Mercy from spawn/wait for her if she died after me
I always try to shield dead teammates, if the situation allows it, so my Mercy can ga to me and rez safely
2 of my 3 endorsements automatically go to my supports (unless they gave me a good reason not to) "good teammate" or "shotcaller" only, supports also get my vote for the end cards.
If my support picks Lucio and speeds me around the map the entire game as Rein, that's a guaranteed shotcaller endorsement, the highest reward I can give. (Seriously, thank you!)
If anyone flames my supports in vc for not healing enough I'll speak up to defend them if needed
I always thank my supports for healing and saving me
If possible I stand still so Ana or Bap can heal me more easily (I'm on console, low plat. So aim isn't always that good on moving targets)
Thank you, dear support mains. I love and appreciate you.
The "Uh, excuse me? You'ra talking to BRONZE DAMAGE." is probably my favorite clip of any video on the internet ever
6:40 there are some spots that have railings that, if not destroyed, help doomfists do rollouts easier.
-If you've been pinned by a Reinhardt charge or slept by an Ana make sure to say thank you
-If someone got cc'd off the map say hello as they fall
-Getting punched by soldier is actually an act of friendship
Something I'd like to call "bordershaming".
Just because you're not playing with at least 3 different account because you can't boost your friends on main, or are just too scared to take a dive with MMR, doesn't give the right to call out if someone with a diamond border is stuck to certain rank or plays like trash. Or call them virgin for having grinded a single account, some people are somewhat sensitive about it.
In general smurfing is something that is a problem, but since Blizzard loves money from all the extra accounts (and even pro gamers romanticize it), they won't do anything. But that's a topic for another video. They really should do it like Dota does, no registered phone number, no competitive.
I like how all of these have different degrees of satire but his tone stays the same. He's explaining team strats, you blink, he's asking you to teabag sleeping people.
Me as Ana with 10 health left: gotta take healtpack
PRO ball players: let me take this real quick at 499
If the enemy team c-9s because of a Sig ult, you are allowed the deep pleasure of typing Sig9 into the chat and absolutely must do so or you are a failure.
ALWAYS thank your healers! I do this all the time and makes them feel appreciated and actually heal more. Also stay still for Ana
Another rule: When your at the top door for attacking on Gibraltar always say “it’s a 5k play” after u walk out of the door.
bonus rule: Remember to stagger, its really important.
When you're in bronze so nobody knows the rules: *cries in walking from spawn mercy*
Rule 41, always in deathmatch waiting rooms, steal other player's kills, also team against tanks like roadhog.
that bit about screaming "their actually one" vs "their one" is the most accurate thing ive ever seen in my life
RULE 42: If you're playing Rein and your Doom engages a few enemies at once, CHARGE IN. You will either distract so Doom can kill/escape or YOU will get a kill. Or both. (Don't do this in the middle of a team fight)
if an enemy says hello, you say hello back
Most important mercy rule. If you have valk you must ult and target the enemy mercy. (Fly up and down to show dominance upon killing the mercy)
Another rule is if you see a rein 1v1 where both Reinhardts are under the effects of nano boost then you must have duel of the fates playing over team voice
Rule 41: you have to touch if you play Lucio/tracer/ball
When playing as D.va spam every voice line possible.
When playing Mei always block off the one exit to spawn. Always.
3:04 If im on hog I like to sit on the teammate to block the few stray damage they might take. Always get a laugh if they use a thank you voice line in response.
7:00 Or if you're just weak after a team fight has won, let your healers get the healing so avoid self healing (if applicable) or getting health packs. My support duo says ball players are the worst at this, team fights already won and over, they're low and roll around at mac 10 and pick up all the packs or go back to spawn for healing instead of giving it to their healers. Goes for other supports as well, if you have your ult already, give the healing to your other support.
And I'll add my own, even though I don't think its an unwritten rule (it should be). If you're playing comp you shouldn't give up before the games over. The game isn't over until the screen says either victory or defeat. Stalls and comebacks can and do happen, you never know what might have happened if you didn't afk in spawn for the last portion of the match. Maybe one of your teammates touches and stalls for a bit, which would've put you in position to stall too had you not afked in spawn. Maybe that time could've been enough for a support ult that turns the fight etc.
I hate people who always give up early no matter what happens. Overwatch players have such weak mentals
I had a team win 5 vs 6 on pure positivity so anything is possible.
