overwatch comps EXPLAINED 

"erm... actually 🤓☝"

"Resurrect, so they have another chance to lose the duel." Subtle savagery is the best kind

“You have the ability to connect the dots” *picks reaper for poke*

For those wondering, Illari is totally a poke hero because of her deece range and easy-peasy heals.

This video is actually insane. I play all roles and sometimes I don't understand why the team just isn't working but now I have an idea how to adapt depending on what the team is. I guess I'm a dive and brawl player hahaha

If 80% of the playerbase watched this and understood it, the average level of play in comp would jump 30% or more. Crazy how much composition determines a winning team in ranked Thanks as always yeatle :)

Never thought I'd see footage of Yeatle playing Brig. Made a big sacrifice for the educational content.

I swear I would be bronze if it wasn’t for yeatle

<a href="#" class="seekto" data-time="542">9:02</a> Y: you know what else starts with D? me: deez- Y: DIVE! me: Oh...

I just want to take a moment to appreciate how good this b-roll is. Like hot damn, these are all some nice clips

Some notes (Best playstyle first) 𝗦𝗨𝗣𝗣𝗢𝗥𝗧𝗦 Zen = Poke HarmonyDives/DiscordEnemies When Diving Baptiste = Poke Brawl Mercy = Poke Dive Moira = Brawl Dive Lucio = Brawl Dive Ana = Brawl Poke NanoDives Brig = Brawl ⇄ Poke (Ult Diving maybe) Kiriko = Dive Brawl Lifeweaver = Dive Brawl ____________________________ 𝗧𝗔𝗡𝗞𝗦 DVA = Dive Brawl Winston = Dive Brawl Doomfist = Dive Brawl Wrecking Ball = Dive Poke Junker = Brawl Dive Rein = Brawl Dive Orisa = Brawl Dive Poke Zaria = Brawl BubbleDives ?Poke? Roadhoag = Brawl Poke Rammatra = Poke Brawl Sigma = Poke Brawl

Brig to me is more of variation comp hero, for example in traditional dive brig is normally not a great pick but if your team is running a deep dive variation (ball, sombra, tracer) brig is pretty good for protecting the other support. and in a standard brawl comp brig isn't great but if you are running a junkerqueen variation she is a pretty strong pick since she is good at keeping junkerqueen up..

<a href="#" class="seekto" data-time="318">5:18</a> "So, they have another chance to lose the duel". LMAO. Yippie!

隱約察覺到了這三種破局方式相當有效，但因爲從來都是打路人局見招拆招 “if I can not connect the dots, I switch” is my play style，還從沒思考過具體的組合 視頻總結得超贊

Hell yeah , covering support compositions first! Hoping and praying to see less Lifeweaver and Mercy combos that will NEVER swap off.

As a brig main who talks to other brig mains, she is either called an aggressive brawl hero or a defensive poke hero and it's really situational, very dependent on who your other support is. However, it's probably likely you want to be defensive with her, since she doesn't have as much survivability as people think.

I am a Masters player with a thousand plus hours in the game playing since the beginning and for some reason my brain didn't fully understand what poke comps were until now. I understood it gameplay wise I guess from knowing when "we should play a comp for shield break or drawing out their resources *or poking*" or "this comp wants to hold s key left click and melt them and kite around and/or play slow" but I never attached the phrase poke comp to them fully I guess 😂

Thank you so much for this video, you're the GOAT 🙏🏼 I've been trying to understand compositions more in depth recently but haven't been able to find anything really talking about comps. You explained everything so clearly, amazing video 💛

Bro ur humor in these videos makes it so easy to watch and get good tips about the new meta while enjoying 😂😂 I can’t believe I havnt found u sooner

brig isn’t only a counter pick covering comps weaknesses, shes pretty good in dive and poke pretty bad with brawl. but her main power where she really shines is in hybrid comps wether its brawl-poke or poke-dive or dive-brawl she does best in all of them. Brawl dive example doomfist tracer cassidy or sojurn brig ana. brawl poke example junkerqueen genji sojurn or ashe brig lucio and poke-dive example dva tracer echo or ashe brig zen

I recently got back to OW2 and I'm trying to practice each one of these "archetypes" in my QPs and tank role queues. Will pay more attention to my supports to adjust my playstyle even more and to see if I can improve my synergy with them and play accordingly.

This was actually extremely helpful for me. I knew the different team comps but never knew for sure what kind of characters fit in them and why.

Tysm for this video

You’re doing gods work dude. I’ve been watching a lotta overwatch tutorials lately and they always be saying stuff like “dive is based” but they never tell me what dive is 😭 luckily this video exists

ive never heard of rush comp before

This helps a TON, as someone who plays both dps and support (mainly poke and brawl) this will help me to adapt better to my teams!

Because of you i have a completely different perspective of overwatch its crazy how good you are at teaching tysm man ^^

Constantly pumping out the top S++++ tier content. Excellent video.

I really appreciate this video honestly. Been playing overwatch for like 5 years. I watch streamers every once in a while and I hear about these comps, but I never found an actual explanation for how they worked or who exactly is a brawl character or a rush character. I'm mostly a Mercy main, so I kinda picked up on a poke comp being good, however something really interesting happens at my rank. Rather than think about the goal of the comp, it's more about some arbitrary heal/second number my team expects. So Mercy/Zen, "We need a main healer!". I always found that odd cause for so long top 500 was just brig/zen. Thanks for the video. Overwatch needs more actual educational videos like this.

This is probably the most helpful video I have seen to get me playing better. Thank you so much. I’ll just start biting the bullet and pick heroes based on what my team wants to run to help the synergy.

This is one of the best videos I've ever seen existing team comps. I've been playing support and i can tell when what i play does not mesh with the team. It's explained perfectly.

So.... Reaper is a poke hero, right?

this is amazing. Do you have or do you plan on making a video on countering? Like if the enemy team has a really frustrating Sombra, who should I switch to? etc.

I haven't played OW in months and I still watched this video. You answered a question I had for years. Thank you.

I haven't played OW in a hot minute due to a setup change and bad internet, so this was pretty helpful to learn about the comp and playstyle changes in OW2. Now I need to either learn to play tank without a counterpart to enable or play support

Another amazing educational video from Yeatle…wahoooooo

one thing i would've liked to see would be optimal compostions\playstyles on maps but that can be a video for another day. 10/10 explanation though.

i was looking at your channel i swear 12 hours ago, but ig it was just before 17 hours ago for vids, thanks yeatle!

Wow, thank you for finally filling in a new piece of the meta puzzle for me! Very helpful!!

I think there needs to be a 4th comp category. I would call this ‘carrier or mothership’ comp. Both are based off of naval ship formations, which space fleets in movies are also based off of naval formations. So let me explain: 1) Zarya, Junker Queen, and Hog are all mediocre or awkward at any of the 3 established comps (dive/brawl/poke). The reason being that they don’t really make space for their team. They are excellent at taking space and being impossible to move off of space, but they do not make the space. These tanks are basically like DPS, and benefit from allied heroes playing in front of them, causing enemies to burn their resources. 2) like Motherships, they are in the middle of the formation, surround by quicker and more agile ships. The fighters are sent out ahead of them to wreak havoc, while the cruisers and mother ships power up their slow and powerful end game advance. It’s like the King and the royal guard, if the other concepts weren’t painting enough of a picture. This 4th comp I’m deeming ‘mothership’ comp, plays best with aggressive flanking dps. In Dive, you only need the tank and one dps to create chaos. So 2 people together are creating chaos. One person creating chaos normally means the one guy is on a suicide mission, so in a ‘mothership’ comp, you could get away with one flanker if it’s Tracer, but otherwise you want two dps that are comfortable playing in front of the tank, creating massive distraction, like gnats. 3) Zarya and Junker Queen have the ability to provide a little buff or save to their aggressive dps, especially Zarya, who has the hardest saves. Roadhog has no way to mitigate or buff his aggressive dps, but the chaos created allows for him to catch enemies unaware for easier hook kill combos. 4) I think that Rammatra could be played in this comp, simply because he has the versatility, and when he’s in his base form, he’s vulnerable to aggression, so having aggressive dps definitely benefits him. Ram we all know to be a poke/brawl hybrid, but he would prefer not having to mitigate cooldowns like the other tanks I think are ‘mothership’ comp tanks. 5) for supports, you need ones that can bail out aggressive squishies and in a way mitigate some cooldowns, and also get aggressive themselves. The ideal supports for this comp are: Lucio (almost a requirement for the type of tanks of this comp as this comp is a hybrid of dive and brawl) Kiriko, Lifeweaver, Brig, and you can make an argument for Ana. So you can see the supports are flexible. I didn’t put mercy in here, even though she could work, because other than Zarya, none of the other tanks will allow her to get a safe Rez off if one of the aggressive dps go down, but if you are running a Pharah or echo, by all means run a Mercy. Baptiste isn’t for this comp, as the type of dps that work in this comp don’t go well with Baptiste in many ways. Zen could work in this comp for the same reasons he worked in dive in the olden days. 6) The ideal dps for this comp are: Reaper, Tracer, Genji, Pharah, Echo, Sojourn, Soldier, and flank Junk rat. Basically anyone who makes the enemy have to look backwards, upwards, or off to the side works. You want your tank and supports have resources diverted from their direction.

great content, I think you may have understated some of the "inbetween" comps that exist, like not all comps are squarely in these categories and some heroes excel at these kinds of comps. Like dva is a great example. She can dive really well, that's what she does, but she can be clean up for poke comps pretty effectively, just using dm to counter dive and taking duels with dps in a poke v poke situation, denying space. She used to be in rush in OW1 but it really, really, doesn't work now as she really sucks when she's face tanking. Similar things can be said about ball and winston. Doom fist is more on the brawl side as his block does keep him in the fight long enough for your team to win a brawl, and he can stun key targets that are attacking targets in a brawl. The amount of "inbetween-ness" generally depends on your dps, like people who are one tricks forcing mei/symm in a doom comp. It really puts into perspective which heroes a tank player should learn if they want to be competitive. One all arounder is probably required, preferably a good one like Ram, but Orisa and Rein are options. If you one trick you have to really know each type of comp and your weakness in each because your team might not play around you.

Thanks mang! Really good info. Not a lot of people cover team comps and I found it very helpful.

Yeatle I love your commentary on actually great educational content. Keep up the good work hamster man!

Even if you know everything about the game you forget the essentials sometimes, I'm choosing my tank pick by the map i'm playing but never consider my support teammates and that's not the right way For exemple I instant lock Sigma on Havana because i know it's the most optimal map for poking BUT if my supports picks heroes optimal for dive or brawl, thean i SHOULD change my pick and playing with the strength of my team Thanks for that :D

"Counters" don't really come into play when you talk about entire team comps. It's almost entirely about how you well you play the comp and how good the comp is on the map. Like if you're playing poke and you switch from Zen to Mercy because the enemy is running dive, Merc is still playable with a poke comp. Lower rank players REALLY give importance to countering but you shouldn't try to switch entire comps to "counter" the enemy team. You make individual hero swaps, but not team swaps

Tks my boss,rly don’t know much about what makes a team before ur vid ❤

I need to put this information on a spreadsheet so I can always have it on hand, super useful video

educational indeed

D is for dive 😎

This video was great! Awesome work, yeatle!

Been playing ow for at least 6 years and this is nothing new but somehow I stayed and enjoyed the whole vid, well done!

This video helped me finally understand team comps after 6 years of blindly running at the enemy team. Thank you based yeatle o7

I love you. Please do more drunk streams

Man! This seriously helped! YO!! 🔥 Seriously, thanks a lot for dumb it down and share it! All the best

Thanks for making a video in 15 mins. A lot of content creators go on and make hour long videos when some people just need the the gist

i never understood compositions or really cared ngl, as long as im doing my job properly and my team is also doing their job properly then its a win in my book.

I think for most of us you just need to choose who you're comfortable playing, unless some super important change needs to happen (like Bastion is there),

brawl counter dive is all the information i needed, also amazing vid

honestly this is the best way to put this into words, especially for people like me who don't look into all the specific nerd stuff like you said, I kinda have an idea of this already, but this video will definitely help friends and help me put this into words, great video really simple and easy to understand. honestly, support is the most important role I agree, in OW1 i'd definitely argue tank as it was a lot more about having crazy amounts of shielding from your two tanks and just being a juggernaut with roadhog, but now the best thing is to make your entire team a juggernaut as a support hero to take back the point or defend a large attack from the other team. it's really really difficult when you have people diving and you are playing Lucio, honestly i'd say that in OW2, your team literally lives and dies by the support, you don't have the crazy protection of tanks in OW1, and if your support aren't able to save you, then it's really tough, and in quick play (even at lower levels) you often see teams with bad support really struggle, while the team with supports healing a crazy amount dominate

Doomfist can play dive and brawl at the same time. It's hard to get team mates who are flexible mid game

poggers yeatle youtube vid

<a href="#" class="seekto" data-time="581">9:41</a> that kill on sigma was sick! Thx for the video

Thx for the vid.

Sigma: “He also has pretty good damage mitigation with the hand sucky thing” That’s perfect.

im a sigma main one of my buddys has been playing lifeweaver since release and is super good with him ive noticed he can be surprisingly good with poke to get set ups for sigma and increase mobility when shit hits the fans. i dont know how he stacks up with other poke tanks but he definitely has helped my sigma game

In all seriousness, this should be a fundamental video for any OW coaching course!

Best overwatch video I've seen all year. Well done ❤❤

HIP HIP HOORAY

I low key miss old Orissa. Her range and ability to head shot is really good for suppressing the enemy. I know why she had to change but it's a playstyle I miss.

you are an truly amazing player, movement, decisions, everything!

Great video composition. Enjoyed it and learned alot.

In fifa terms Poke : possession/drop back Brawl : shooting inside the box Dive: lobbed through pass

Thank you Yeatle, now I can send the video to my supports when they complain why a Doom cannot play like a Reinhardt.

I kind of already know some of the main compositions (poke, brawl/rush, dive) but this video needs to be spread around, so I'm liking and commenting for the algorithm

Thank you so much!! I feel like this helps so much

Yiiippppiiieeee!!!

Yippie, hip hip hooray, wahooo

<a href="#" class="seekto" data-time="512">8:32</a> okay that was some smooth criminal plays right there with LW / Rein

Love this educational type stuff

So we dive the pasta into the water, then we let the boiling water poke around and last we rush off the water when al dente. Thanks Chef Yeatle 😊

WAHOO

love the educational videos! please make more!

I feel like lifeweaver if in the same boat as brig where he’s not really good at specifically one comp, but more really a counter/support for your support for the comp. I feel like he’s really good with grouping up your team in brawl, as well as getting your team to places that they normally can’t vertically in brawl

Or theres yznsa playstyle which is all of these at once.

Isn't Orisa pretty shit at poke now that her primary got range damage falloff?

I think versatility is huge. Not every player has the same playstyle and teams dont often synergize. A Ram, echo, and kiriko for instance can make any team more flexible as they can poke and dive equally well and can even "brawl" for brief periods.

nice vid, kept it simple and uderstandable! helped me a lot

YIPEEE HIP HIP HOORAY WAHOOOO

Wahoo

the ending made me subscribe ong

This video enables me to focus more on self improvement rather than hating my team for playing wrong. I just switch to a champ that accompanies their playstyle more (a playstyle I was unable to recognize before) instead of trying to poke with Lucio (my main).

Would it be possible to have a tier list made for quick reference? Just 3 sections for Dive, Brawl, and Poke with all the heroes. Maybe a 4th for Mixed Bag characters lmao. But that'd be really nice to have

Not trynna be 🤓 that guy... but one caveat I think yeatle should mention is that these "comps" should be taken with a grain of salt for the majority of players. Sure, the general concepts of building a team comp around dive, brawl and poke CAN apply to some average players - I'd say up until masters (if that), most players will struggle to carry these out effectively and the game usually devolves into a fuck fest. Most players should play their best hero imo and not worry too much about these comps. For scrims and coordinated team play though, this is a must-learn vid.

This is exactly what I didnt know I needed

Needed this vid thanks

Wa-Hooo!

Waaaahooooo🎉 Hip hip hooray🎉 You don't get the last one cause you didn't make this video 10 minutes longer to cover DPS 😂

Wahooo love the video, thanks for this i didn’t fully understand any of these terms until now. Also Brig main here

Pls do more of this Videos. You help me so much 🙏🏼
