i've been wanting to see content like this for a while and you delivered perfectly. Bro this channel is SEVERELY underrated. Maybe next do the history of experimental modes in OW1!
i remember the first round of experimental changes where they did 1 tank, 3 dps and 2 supps. They also did some "over-the-top" balance changes and my favorite of them was when they brough back MASS REZ. healing sym was fun too
One April fools thing they did that barely anyone noticed was in the first one they did allowed Sombra to contest point with infinite invisibility which was very funny to me
Great video, i never got to play the april fools events aside from 2024 this was a fun watch. Also... Hearing the wii photo channel music was so nostalgic for me omg
Yeah I guess that’s fair tho I feel like that would’ve taken a lot longer and some of the stuff I feel like you can look at and see what’s different but if you want me to explain anything I gotcha
Thank you for including me in this video (at 10:20), I just learned about it! I wish you credited all the streamers in your description though and not only the big streamers that everyone already knows 😕
My bad bro honestly I go through some many videos for these that I genuinely just forget but your right especially you because your name is literally right there unlike others that just have a clip thank you for letting me know
@@mercyI_I Thank you, I appreciate it! I understand it's not always easy to find the source but for future reference I think you should try to credit as many people as you can
6:47 I'm the kiri in that potg lmaooo. I remember how busted ashe was, because of that glitch, they straight up disabled her in the april fools gamemode. I posted a video of this exact potg on my twitter complaining about it.
The Ashe change was actually so broken, they had to disable her in the mode. Because the fire wasn’t working as intended. The afterburn was resetting and stacking off of itself and as well as spreading to teammates. That’s why it was melting people. People lit on fire were guaranteed to die
Reaper tp yeah, mei as a tank she would need a large rework like new abilities type shit like you could make it work but it’s really not as simple as what they did in the patch and than doom punch yeah I mean it would have to have an animation change cause it looks normal for the doom player but looks so unnatural for the others like
My bad there was a lot and I didn’t want to make super crazy but I’m ngl I completely forgot about it but it would have def got a segment with all the eskay and frogger clips that shit was so fun I loved that
i love how you didnt include symms healing turrets, because they sucked so much. kinda crazy support mains still say they arent listened by the devs when they gave them illari,and the exact same issues everyone predicted happened with her. and thats considering illari has long range and crits, imagine if she was a short range hero like symmetra lol
Lmao she did have multiple turrets and the cooldown was way lower than sym’s but yeah I see why you mean also yeah I couldn’t find a lot of footage for it which is why it wasn’t in it (I can’t tell if your saying that illari pylon sucks which I don’t think it’s bad it just got hard nerfed by the dps passive but I think have more than one turret can either only be annoying or there either bad kind of like lifeweaver who will only either be bad/very niche or annoying and toxic for the game and this is coming from someone that plays Ana and Illari lmao sorry if that was a lot)
@@mercyI_Ii got it a bit twisted. essentially some time ago symmetra had a experimental patch made by creators, but it was hilariously bad and it was because they treated it as a april fools patch. THATS where symmetra was given healing turrets and the concensus was tht they were ass since they were well... healing turrets. but some support players insisted on wanting symmetra having healing turrets so they made illari, trying to keep in mind all the feedback they had on that one experimental/creators april fools. except it still sucked and the issues people predicted happened
Maybe it's just watching on the TV but the music is too loud vs voices. Also I had no idea what some of them were doing. Soldier visor what? Edit: ok they got better and I figured out the Crit on soldier lol.
2:05 The best version of Sigma ever put in Overwatch bar fucking none. I am beyond baffled that an OW April Fools update could make a more engaging, more fun and better balanced Sig than like 6 years of OW development.
Yeah back in ow1 everyone that played against doom hated him honestly well dps doom was fun I still have a lot of fun on tank doom and I feel like it’s better for the game tbh
smoluga was definitely the highlight of this year's april fools, and by god was he fun; Like so fun that i wish he was like that in the main game cause he didnt feel shit to play against and was fun as hell to play. they unintentionally fixed the hero in a shitpost gamemode lol.
it would be pretty funny to see them give the option to be any character without a limit. so if everyone wanted to be idk doomfist you can 5 stack doomfist
I feel like for April fools, they just implement every mechanic they wanted to put in to make the characters lore accurate (except mei being huge, I think someone had a little too much milk from the fridge that day)
Why do some of these with a bit of tuning seem like actually good buffs like being able to walk activating reapers teleport or spiderbrig Also this seems like it would be fun as like a permanent mode where they just throw random joke buffs at a wall for characters
Lowkey it would be cool to be able to control it to like diff designs but honestly her wall is already really good so buffing it would be make it super busted tho it would be fun and maybe it would work idk
