@@RauKnowsOW They didn't make her boring they just gutted what made Orisa fun for me. I 100% miss old Orisa. I was a solo Orisa play on Ow1 and I had so much fun. Being able to hold chokes with barrier and popping supercharger for the damage increase and clutching was so satisfying. I still play Orisa but she's more braindead then ever which I hate and hurts as an Orisa main. You know full well of they bring Grav bomb back she's gonna be back on the map. Grav bomb was so useful for getting people out of corners. Capturing pharahs and Mercys and being able to pull people of the map. Combine grave bomb with spear and it's gonna be so satisfying. Not to mention you don't have to fish for ults or just use your ult as a burn space option. Just use your grave bomb to pull enemies close pop ult and get the kill depending on how they rework it.
I think that's one of the reasons of why there's so little tank players in relation to dps players, since overwatch 1 mind you, and this is never talked about. Most people that play overwatch want the "glory" of a flashy play or multykill, tanks aren't for that.
She may be the least flashy, team wipes with just her are very uncommon, but it still feels good to do good as her. IMO the people who say she’s boring to play are just transposing how they feel playing against her, into playing as her. You can’t tell me shutting down Pharah’s ult by impaling her to a wall isn’t fun. I refuse to believe you.
Sorry for being gone for a bit! Had editor struggles after I had to find a new one but we are back and pumped to bring you guys more in the series :) Hope to see you in stream sometime! www.twitch.tv/rauknows
I just recently tried Orisa for the first time and went from being humiliated by the enemy's Roadhog to consistently killing him. He swapped off but it didn't really help. I think Orisa's fun
I started playing OW a few months ago. I picked Orisa as my first character simply because I liked the character design, not knowing that playing her would cripple my ability to play anyone else. I actually thought I was good for like a month 😂
This video is very fun! Love the new editor they did a great job! Some of the clips of gameplay felt a bit long, but regardless, the video is very entertaining and educational. Another amazing video, Rau!
Something that me and one of my gaming buds love to do is use orisa’s ult as a combo. For example, I typically main support so what we’ll do is I either go Moira or illari and he’ll use orisa’s ult to “trap” their team so I can murk them. We mainly do it with an illari and orisa combo and we’ve gotten some sweet team wipes with it
Watched this and completely made me rethink how I feel about and deal with Orisa. I do however still think the Tank Role is already suffering a lot right now so having a tank dedicated to literally just ruining the other tank's day is just icing on a shit cake but i wouldn't mind it as much if the Anti-Tank meta wasn't going strong.
Love the video. I'd say if anyone playing orisa runs into an Uber aggressive tank that counter you, bum rushing the healers and denying them tends to throw the odds back in your favor
I've been maining tank since OW1 day 1, I find Orisa boring even despite her identity being exactly how I learned to play tank. Other than a few options example Doomfist, I play every tank similar to Orisa, in that I don't go for anything flashy or kills, I play to keep the space and keep my team alive. The issue I find with Orisa is just, it's an immovable wall that counters everything as long as you're good enough, I don't think counter picking as a core game system should be kept as the game continues, however as is currently it still is and Orisa is playing a different game entirely. This is why I find her boring she has a style of gameplay that makes her the go to Tank pick for when your first pick doesn't work out, no single character should hold the title of "Go to" no matter their role but in recent Overwatch having go to characters in each role has really drawn the life out of it, by extension making it boring. I agree she is a necessary evil to an extent, but I only think that she is an evil cause the rest of the game is not playing the same game, to better explain that statement Orisa is playing a game where counter picking as a mechanic is not appreciated her rework feels like what OW2 should be aiming to do for everyone making it not all purely about counter swapping constantly, but she was changed at launch so no one else is at that stage she is at therefore she is boring. TLDR; Orisa is boring to me because she is playing a different game where she becomes a go to pick rather than a fun addition, the skill expression in her playstyle I would enjoy if the Tank role was about that expression as a whole instead of one character, as the main mechanic of this game is counter this counter that which I don't find healthy it doesn't change that it's the game currently.
HELLO ITS UR HOE HERE QUINN! Loved the video rau, you dont understand how proud we are of you! We, as a communinty, love to see you channel grow everytime you post! I cant wait to see what the future holds for this community and your channel! DONT FORGET ABOUT ME RAUTHER
@@RauKnowsOW Well she is annoying, and her move set basically relies on not using all your abilities at once, retreating and charging in like a lynel. Edit: I can see how this pales to jumping around like Doomfist or assaulting healers like Wrecking ball. Orisa is always frontlines.
@RauKnowsOW I guess those higher ups care too much about making plays for their montages instead of thinking in a strategic way to deny the other tank space
@@omrizubary yes and no it’s more than when you’re going against a top500 Orisa you don’t get to play the game and it gets repetitive playing against her EVERY game haha
I find orisa to be kinda sad, orisa is by far one of my favorite characters in terms of lore, her design is amazing and I love robots, I have autism so something about her just makes me really like her. But it’s hard to find other people who like her cause they just absolutely hate her, I can’t say I blame them. But it can get a little frustrating.
I disagree with you with the point that you need to counterswap, there are a lots of top in tanks that are gm1/top500 and doesn't swap (ex : chazm, rank 1 on ball) (or Bowie, one of the best rein of the World). Because they are simply better. For example i'm a one trick rein and when the Map isn't favorable to me i adapt my playstyle. When i'm getting countered by a orisa, zen or bastion (yes the Season 6 was horrible for me) i will not swap but play better in consenquence. I'm almost GM (master 2) and i started to play 1 year ago. Everyone can rankup and solo carry on every character if he is better. (Else lifeweaver that is such a Bad character)
The issue is even if YOU adapt playing a subpar tank in a bad situation hurts your team. I agree you can make everyone work but you’re sacrificing other peoples RP and experience if you don’t win
The main thing about orisa is that she requires no skill and is to easy to climb with meaning people get higher up in rank that’s the only one they can play and if it goes wrong the game goes belly up
@@internetbigfoot7083 once again as someone who has learned multiple tanks and hit masters (not flexing just stating peak) Orisa didn’t skip anything I had to learn on dva or JQ. She simply does the job of being a wall yes but as mentioned in the video she requires really good cooldown management at high levels. Don’t take this as an argument I just enjoy educating :) if someone plays Orisa by standing still, bad cooldown usage, not getting jav value, not playing cover etc she blows up just like any other tank
