    I was a lucio player from the first time I played in the beta, all the way until I stopped playing in 2019. That Lucio video honestly did sum up how it was to play him in the early days. People were asking why he wasn't wallriding, but Lucio 1.0 wallriding was a complete PAIN in the butt to use. You could pretty much get just as much value from walking around next to your other support healing and peeling as you could if you were a "god" wallrider. Wallriding didn't give insane speedboosts, you couldn't jump on the same surface multiple times in a row, and for a very long time the only thing high elo players did better than low elo ones was their ability to sit in the skybox on heal and stay in LOS of their team without dying. I do recommend anyone to go look at the stages of wallriding in Overwatch 1, it's pretty neat to see.

    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.

    In some ways, old Torb was more of a "support" than old Symmetra

  • @j0kerclash289

    @j0kerclash289

    7 ай бұрын

    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.

    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.

    Also remember that old Torb couldn't toss his turret places. He basically had to put it at his feet or climb up somewhere like a spider monkey to put it in a clever space. ALSO also remember that ult charge didn't instantly deplete when you pressed Q. If you quickly died when using ult, there was a good chance you'd keep 50-75% of it if not all of it. Heck. McCree back then could cancel his ult and keep 50% of it. Sometimes I'd just use it to scare people off.

Probably the most reliable piece of overwatch content IGN ever uploaded. As i and 2 other people in the entire office at the time played the game. And none of us were very good lol so it was cool to get a great player on and talk on a video for IGN. However im sure it did poorly. And after that the switch review came out......uh. i wish theyd let me take that one. But oh well.

It's especially funny however when I tell my friends what Overwatch 1 was like, and their complete confusion and shock when I say that Mercy used to be able to res an entire team. Although I kinda miss it, I definitely think they made some good changes. And sometimes it's even more fun (role que is a godsend ngl) Anyways, thanks for the awesome video man!

You can defend an area while you're attacking, and you can attack an area while you're defending. Considering how hard it was for people to understand that, it was probably a good idea they lumped everyone into "Damage".

    I have a distinct memory from OW1 where my team was defending 1st point Hanamura. I was on Mercy, and we had a Torb. Torb would make sure I always had an armor pack near me, and if I rotated, he would go 'Mercy, armor pack.' in VC and it is a memory I think about from time to time 😭

    Man. Doomfist with 250 hp. Rocket punch going 30 METERS. 250 damage from punch. (nobody misses this) UPPERCUT. 6 pellets that do 11 damage each instead of 11 bullets we have now. (This also wasn’t missed) Punch hitbox the size of the moon (Nobody liked this either) Aerial slam and ground slam. Aerial slam going UPWARDS. Slam sucking people in. COMBOS WERE A THING. Rollouts and Diags haven’t been invented yet. Inner circle of Meteor strike was wide enough to actually kill things. And then we got Brandito, Chipsa, and Quake who were the pioneers of Doomfist rollouts. Zbra wasn’t even a thing back then.

    Now, I'm later into Overwatch since my first playing was on the Switch, but I do miss old Rein. 2k, 1.6k shield. Something about blocking all that damage is so satisfying. Now I can blink and my shield is gone. I'm basically holding up a piece of wet paper saying "please don't shoot me!"

    I still want the old level 3 Torb turret back. That thing could knock out entire teams if given half a chance. I'm still in the habit of jumping when I look straight down to place a turret. Plus stacking armor packs in a corner for your team? Priceless. Most of you don't know OG strats like "Planet of the Apes" and the old Sym map-edge trolls. Or the rangeless McCree (Cassidy) who could headshot you from literally across the map. Beyblade. And good lord some of the things you'd see OG Rein players start to do. Old as it makes me feel, I gotta say it: In a lot of ways those were the days. @Flats You remember threading the old firestrike through like single pixel gaps and angles to secure that +30% ult charge. ahaha man...

    I feel like playing since the beginning gave me a leg up on Torb... Because even though I don't build up turrets the same way, I still have a very good knack of where it up put a turret. So it just is the biggest pain in the butt and very hard to kill.

    Every one of the old heroes had a very defined role, and it all worked. Maps were designed specifically with certain heroes in mind, and every hero in mind. These days it feel so shallow. Overwatch 1 was my favorite game for those first couple of years + beta.
