Flats Reacts To Old Overwatch Guides From IGN 

My first POG was me lost in volskaya while the turret killed like 4 people

ah yes, the 600-hp armored machine gun rocket launcher level 3 turret

I always hammered a dpray on a wall, like thanks. Just in case I would Get potg

I was that bastion player. It was fun to just make people disappear.

​​​@@invariantmonoIt was fun to watch those Bastions disappear when you play Genji

@@silhouette9699 there’s something called not shooting lol

it was all fun and games till they ulted your ass

Bro the bastion and torb on the moving panels on Volskaya

It was pure chaos. Playing with the option of mirror friendly picks was crazy, while Blizzard kept swearing that would never change, lmao Imagine setting up defence and 6 Winstons come up jumping on you

@@47OXcreativity wasn’t allowed apparently, wish it was better balanced so the role lock wasn’t a thing

I didn’t start until about a year ago I feel like I missed the good days but I still love Overwatch

@@tlmcarjustarandomduck3981 yea once they introduced role queue and tried to go hard on the competitive esports shit, the game took its biggest hit in the fun department

@@tlmcarjustarandomduck3981 I am not talking about role lock, I am talking about 6 Winstons, 6 Soldiers, 6 Torbj...

Yes.7rs ago. People playing overwatch the first time

@@piusdoe8984yea but come on even back then people weren’t that bad

​@@piusdoe8984 Thats not a valid excuse. You dont play a new game and because its new loose all concept of how and what a game is.

Sounds like a typical overwatch player

omg I remember that people getting mad at playing offence heroes or defence and vice versa

​@@lionheart343LOLyeah or whenever you picked two snipers lmao

@@TheRedCap30”too many snipers” the character select screen said

Or the 5 DPS and 1 mercy comp, rofl.

Was coming to say just this. Good Wall riding in those days was akin to being good at ball tech now. Additionally, he did more hps then than he does now. It seems ridiculous to say "stay on heal" in today's game... But it actually did something then.

I think you could ride the same wall you just had to 180. I find myself still doing that today

If I remember correctly, back in the day when he ulted he had to physically hit the ground for it to go off, so like if he ulted in a grav he would be stuck in the animation

​@@MrSpitfire2008 no, now you need to phisically touch the ground for the ulti to pop up, before you didn't need to

​@@marcoricci3936 wrong. Sigma flux

Except modern Genjis will actually hit something with blade then die (0 kills). he just popped a blade in a corner then got fucked. Back then support wasn’t near as strong and nano did not exist. It’s like a basketball player in their prime versus when they are 80 years old, except the prime player in this case has a lobotomy (that’s the procedure to become a game journalist)

Genji in early overwatch was actually really good

Not at all. Sym gave armour just like Torb did, but she also had the teleporter, which pretty much functioned like a weaker mercy ress applied to the whole team every time they died, and if you weren't getting value out of that, she also had the shield generator which gave in an incredibly high range an extra 75 shield health to your whole team for as long as it was alive for, which is insane. The only drawback was that she took up the slot of a healer, but the amount of supportive value she gave was way higher than torb.

@@j0kerclash289 I'm not talking old Sym, I'm talking old, old Sym (2016) which is what these vids refer to. Making me go "um achksually" before work but a few things: Back then, role queue wasnt a thing so you could go wild with whatever "comp" you wanted (thus goats became a thing) so she never "took a slot off a healer" Sym didn't give 25 armor, it was 25 shield. Torb gave armor. I still hold belief that armor is still better because you're much safer with it for fights even if it has to be reapplied (assuming you survived) Teleporter was useful, yes, but it only had 6 uses total and still destroyable so mileage varied. And that was her ult...so bummer if a Tracer found it. Saying "weaker Mercy ress" is a huge understatement. Meanwhile, Lucio speed boost still provided the same utility while also offering more. Also teleporter usually became another tool for trolling but that's besides the point. Shield generator didn't come until way later. It was after her first rework. Again, I'm just referring to early times. What I was jokingly getting at in the beginning was that Torb was able to provide better hp while essentially enabling another dps teammate: his turret. Sym had turrets too but her turrets were 1hp each. They weren't reapairable nor did they ever get buffed to levels 2 or 3. Imagine being a pocket mercy to an aimbot teammate, that was kinda what his kit was like early on.

​@@j0kerclash289shield gen was more of a character than "support" symm lmao. symm had to fill an ult charge bit to summon the ACTUAL support

Volskaya was so goddamn fun

Hanamura is getting reworked. Its not Hanaoka for the gamemode clash.

@wardoesshit2253 the problem with these maps is the 2nd point. It's almost impossible for the attacking team to infiltrate

that aged well

He was laughing at the fkn tracer falling off 😭

Remember the good ol strat on Anubis to get a Mei to wall you up to the left side high ground spot to put down the turret lol. Or sym tp up there. People were always baffled at how the turret got in that place. Old OW people were really amazed at the smallest things xD

not just to scare people off, but pros used it as an insta reload. Fan the Hammer, roll, Fan the Hammer, Ult, insta cancel Fan the Hammer.

@@blackm4niac A lot of high level players still use it for that XD

​@CopShowGuy that's all it's good for rn,reloading

Thank you for your service

It's so sad, for awhile he was the only character that kept me playing the game he was so unique and to this day i've still not found any character in a game that scratches that itch. Tank doom is just a glorified winston or ball.

I miss shield gen sssoooooo much. I would go on long missions hunting it as Sombra and feel alive

​@@nailinthefashion lmao I miss it too but just cause it was cool and fun and unique to me

Honestly that would be a sick idea for a new character in ow2

:(

:(

:(

:(

:(

They've just been gradually removing the little unique, fun stuff over time. It's unfortunate.

yeah looking at old torb he looked a lot more fun tbh obviously lvl 3 turret was a bit much but seeing it again would be cool (hella nerfed tho) actually might make me play torb if they make his turret different and made his gun less spam reliant

If I'm remembering right they removed it bc it made your Torb feed too much trying to gather the bits mid fight LOL similar to Reaper's souls

I loved him as a support who isn't a support btw. Giving people armor instead of healing felt so metal, licherally metal, so I liked his daughter too even tho they ruin the game massively

@@xDjembex what else are you talking about?

One of my favorite games was when we had 6 soldier 76s surfing the payload on kings row, staggering our biotic fields so it was always down. Went the whole way without stopping and I never laughed so hard that it actually worked. “Soldier 76!” Everytime we got a kill

real

There are still delusional people out there that think it's a good gamemode

@@masift1494not good per se, but you gotta admit the highs were fuckin high,,,,, and the lows so damn low. Honestly it WAS fun at times, just not later on

​@@masift1494 I just don't complain about everything, I enjoyed the fun videogame lmfao

@@-cactus.raven- did you play tank? That shit was never fun, win or lose

I mean to be fair casuals had no clue about the combos on release (including me and I went on to be a doom main)

"These young kids today don't understand the hardships we had to go through back in our youth, hunting Mercy before she could rez, Fighting off nanoblade for 8 whole seconds, Symmetra turning everyone into tanks.. the whole lot"

….. if that’s the case he still is just standing there. Not. Doing. Anything. Doesn’t even bother to put his shield down and try to move.

@@asonofliberty3662 if not counting the freeze forcing him to put it down

Brandito,,,, I remember learning doomfist from his videos

Love the complete switch up his playstyle had with ult, went from static machine gun to, if you were good enough, hyper aggressive mobile death machine. Movement with ult was so much fun

@@-cactus.raven- thanks to my inspiration BastionMain I put in 300 hours with the character before overwatch 2 came out

SAME DUDE THEY WATERED EVERYTHING DOWN SO MUCH and they just keep doing it bruhhhh

It's pretty funny to think back then he was static during normal gameplay, and super mobile during ult. Now he's very mobile during normal gameplay, and entirely static in ult xD A literal uno reverse move

🤯🤯🤯🤯🤯🤯🤯

Ain’t no way 🤯
