LEGENDARY KIRIKO SKIN DROPS now available at twitch.tv/karq by watching 6 HOURS. (Oct 7 - Oct 16 only)
giv me plz
What time is ow2 going live?
Didn't they change moira's ability to fade out of certain ultimates like sigmas?
@@shiion6711 12 PST
Can you use kiriko's ability to escape grav?
When you slice with Genji's blade the very last second the slash doesn't get interrupted by the animation of him putting the blade away. Instead he finishes the slash and then puts away the blade.
huge
Thank fucking god
Omg finally
Finally after all these years
Jesus finally
Zen's spring-loaded kick is incredible.
I'd like to think it has something to do with gravity
@@fluffyraptor3121 Nah, he's just gotten an oil change and started hitting the gym XD
@@luvetohate he started walking
That kick legit saved me like 2-3 times already
I mean the kick itself looks like it's gonna hurt so i am happy to see it buffed. xD
Doom's block feels so odd. It doesn't feel like it should be a channeled ability, but it's just like deflect, accretion, javelin spin, etc. It just feels different.
EDIT: they literally added a superior version of doomfists block on rammatra??? So they knew how to make a block move feel good but gave doom the crappy one
it is weird, especially since it's so easy to kill him even during it
@@shieldgenerator7 Even better if you're sigma/orisa, you just somehow stun him out of it.
Oh
I assume you meant kinetic grasp not accretion
@@YazzPott yes
Fun fact: Zen's kick does more damage than Brig's primary fire
And even more with a discord orb on your kick victim, presumably!
less range and doesn’t heal so
@@yun-jinlee3782 ok and? They were pointing out a fun fact. They're not trying to say it's stronger than her melee....she can literally melee constantly. Are you like a defensive brig/zen main? lol relax
@@yun-jinlee3782 cope
Totally exemplifies the fact that everyone is becoming a dps oriented character. Wtf is Blizzard doing man. Junker Queen is underpowered imo
Oh, the nostalgia. I feel like it's 2016 again where I look up a video trying to understand the game for the first time.
And we all love it!!
I never understood the game fully, so I'm just going to throw myself blindly and hope for the best as I've always done
@@tooooomboh Speak for yourself. Most of the OW playerbase is not returning to OW 2.
@@bitnami6 source?
@@Benjilovescats trust him bro
I feel even nostalgic coming back to KarQ’s channel, warms me right up and gets me excited again.
Our favorite PillarMan.
amen!
THIS
Go outside and socialize
@@TheDeathvice187 you're so cool bro
I didnt realize they buffed Baptiste so much. That's crazy, considering he was already strong and most other supports didnt get much of a change and mostly got small nerfs...
true but Bap was gonna be inherently much less useful in 5v5 as there’s less AOE healing needed, so in my opinion, he needed some buffs to be balanced. but i’m biased lol
@@viperuh168 i agree
Haven't played Overwatch in awhile. You already know KarQ was the first name I thought of when looking for the differences between OW1 and OW2. This man's been putting out good educational content for ages.
I’m so happy that you added arrows to indicate whether it’s a nerf or a buff!
now count them all. are we at gross positive?
…what?
I belive Genji’s secondary fire spread is reduced and his dragonblade’s final slash isn’t interrupted by the sheathe animation.
the second one is def true
nerf genji
Man, I love your intro so much - thank you for always keeping it. It is such a vibe!
They really gutted Doomfist's kit entirely. They changed him from a good aggressive DPS to the worst tank in the game, especially now that the game is balanced around solo tanks.
On paper, it looked good, but in practice its just so bad. With the focus on him being a main tank, his abilities disposition him anyways so you can't properly shield your teammates, but you can't properly knockback or deal damage without putting the rest of the team at risk.
At least Roadhog as a main tank is slightly better because he can hook from his position to give the rest of the team some good picks.
I really hope they revert him, they turned one of the most fun heroes into a disaster of a tank. How embarrassing.
Also 5v5 was the worst idea they could have. Why the heck would they make it liek that?
I'm sorry but I'm a doom man and he's actually a bomb ass tank
@@EnnuiPrincess he’s literally the worst tank in OW2
@@kyubeycoobie3568 because 6V6 was just shield shooter simulator. the game was boring and they’ve actually managed to make it playable again
literally an awful dps hero 2 play against, every match w an enemy doomfist was some of the most unfun shit in the game. good riddance
So a knife throw from Junker queen does more damage than a fully charged empowered rocket punch from doomfist. Yeah that makes sense
fr lmao
they broke doom :( hope he gets buffed soon
@@MatthiasW97 I quit the game when doomfist launched, my most hated character
During first beta doom was able to slow enemy movement speed with his skills. I don't know why they didn't keep that skill.
@@josewolf9884 Because they want as minimal CC as possible. Same reason why they removed Moiras new Ability. I think they just need time to fit him properly into the game
doomfist: has a gigantic fist that could devastate enemies but punches with normal hand, zen: is doomfoot
yeah the mercy ebois complaining about him finally won the devs pure ruined him
@@b33lze6u6 fr im so sad rn
Yep gonna have to change my name now cause I doubt im ever gonna touch doom again. he was the most fun hero to play now he’s no fun at all
Truly well done and put together. Thank you for providing information regarding hero changes in such a good format
20:08 - On the Mercy Guardian Angel changes. Blizzard and KarQ basically say the same thing about the change, that it makes GA and superjump "easier and more consistent" now, but what isn't touched on or I guess people forget to mention is that it's now weaker overall if you could previously consistently pull off superjump prior to OW2. Now superjump requires a significant build up to achieve the same height that you could get in OW1. Whereas before if you timed it correctly, you could get a massive vertical lift at good speed, the same verticality takes significant horizontal travel distance to build up your meter. This means you not only can't superjump as high or as on-demand as you did in OW1 but also that you need a lot of runway space and 'running start', so to speak.
Overall, if you could already do superjumps in OW1, this is a nerf for Mercy. But that's not brought up for some reason. 🤨
You're so right, "it's more consistent and easier to new players" is nonsense. It's a huge nerf. If they wanted to make it consistent they could've kept previous way of performing superjump and implement new, but now instead of constantly moving mercy that is impossible to hit I have mercy that can jump away from teammates to go to spawn to change character faster
Yep. The whole reason I played mercy was for that super jump. I hate what they did to her. Not to mention, their version of super jumping is just somehow jumping either away from your teammates or jumping right into the fight. It’s awful.
Did they completely get rid of the old super jump? 😢
More consistency usually makes up for that, plus you can hop backwards now.
@@peco595 You could superjump GA backwards before in OW1 if you were good. It just took a bit of practice on some Mercy parkour maps lol
I literally didnt even click on this video and it somehow opened on stream, idk what youtube magic you are pulling, but if you could teach me that would be great. Also great video (I didnt watch it but his stuff is always top tier PepeLaugh)
true
omg its flats
PepeLaugh
LOL
yall r quick lmao
Very well summed up, clean and concise. Thanks for this
Your videos are legendary. So helpful for new people AND veteran players that just wants a quick recap of changes etc. Keep it up, mate!
Dude your comparative research has been extensive! Thanks so much for this.
the level border around hero icon next to health was iconic, kinda. there was no need to take it away.
No lvls anymore that's why
I agree about it being iconic, but people were also using it to harrass and flame others. "Gold border in gold/plat?! You suck!" Etc.
There should have been an option to turn off, like career profiles. Not that I was a big fan of private profiles, but I can see the intent.
Hmm, maybe keep the portrait border, but only you can see it?
@@GateFail See, that I hated so much. I actually used to play so chill so I hated hearing people trying to insult me with being silver border in gold. I was in gold because I don't have to work so hard. I only went into comp for golden weapons and conversation anyway. I wanna have fun playing, not feel like I'm forced to play.
I do miss the borders but I don't think I'm gonna miss people that think level says everything.
yeah just keep it there that was a good place for it
@@GateFail I never once in 2000 hours of OW1 heard someone get flamed for their border lmao
the end of a legacy im sad but also hyped
Same here man
Yeah! Only an hour and 30 minutes left
Im just hyped,the game was needing a "repair", now just wish that blizz don't focus on PvE again
Sameee
Im so happy OW1 sucked at the end. Every match i had was a 5v6 bc matchmaking couldn’t find another teammate while the match was active and then the enemy team say “glhf” and its like ye fkn right its a 5v6. At least 4v5 won’t be as unfair especially since there is only 1 tank. OW2 FTW
love the visual comparison, great video!
Thank you very much for that.
I couldnt follow up with all the OW2 changes or beta gameplay, so this is a quick and nice summary of the most important hero changes.
Thanks for that !
love your videos. always so informative. You're my go-to for news and information regarding the game. you don't really post the OW drama and i appreciate that
Now I can’t wait for the “1 hero vs all other hero’s” videos coming out for every hero a THIRD time, but a FIRST time in Overwatch 2 and a first for the 3 new characters as in Junker Queen, Sojourn, and Kiriko. Good luck when doing that if you do it, I would love to watch it 😂
I’m an orisa main and I think it’ll be kinda fun with the new mechanics but imma also miss the the old orisa. The shield and ult were so good for the whole team. Plus it’ll take a while for my muscle memory to stop full shooting
New orisa is literally unkillable
This video was extremely helpful. Well written and straight to the point. Thanks 👍
love how almost everyone gets some interesting or good change and reaper just gets 2 big nerfs, so cool!
it’s putrid
Mei too no longer playable
To be fair, Doom's rework is somewhat just a big nerf for him
Imo at least
Many dps got damage nerfs in some way. Makes sense given there's 50% less tanking going on.
many heroes got nerfed such as doomfist
Nice, happy to have a short and sweet vid that gets straight to the point.
Concise and informative presentation, thanks for your effort!
Thank you for the video! This is extremely informative. I didn't even realize the huge changes to Doomfist, Orisa, and Bastion because I don't play them lol. I'll have to give them a another try now!
would love to see a collection of all the interactions of the supports healing passive with other abilities / shields!
They all stack. Stacks with everything and is boosted by increased healing like Ana granade
@@thiagoheringer101 ok but still would be nice to have all the numbers in one video
@@Teflora it does have lol. Not from his channel though. When i get yo my pc i will send you
@@Teflora wait but girls dont play OW!
@@jake9854 Cringe incel meme comment
As a former Zarya main I H A T E the bubble changes. Really felt like a nerf because they recharge with the same counter, so if you play the same as OW1 you have 1 bubble at a time instead of 1 personal and 1 team bubble.
Word it feels so mid. It's nice being able to bubble yourself twice if your team isn't really taking too much damage or you don't have a dive or something. Still feels tragic having to wait a forever for both bubbles though
then imagine being a former doomfist main..
@@villumtakeoernst5325 he was my main dps 🤧
They took everything from me on ow2
I mean I kinda feel you. I'm a Dva main and they took away every form of CC that helps me land ults. Never again can I launch a bomb into a Zarya, Sigma or Rein ult. Not to mention Sombra can't EMP sheilds away for me anymore.
its a nerf and a buff, but mainly a nerf, u can double stack both bubbles for self or teamate, but only the same one twice
Fantastic vid, had stepped out of OW1 since OW2 beta started and this was super helpful.
Thanks for going over these, nice vid
Informative
Quick
To the point
Thank u for what u have done over the years and here's to what's to come
Doomfist seems so weak now compared to the other tanks. I feel like he needed an absorption on the shield to get some shield/armor on his block.
Or abilities coldown reduced
or some more fucking damage. his punch is a wet noodle
@@b33lze6u6 It's not meant to do damage its meant to push the enemy away with a little bit of damage and a huge knock back.
He becomes lethal when he's fully charged.
@@mistameff3528 not really he only does 100 damage fully charged, and thats if they hit a wall. thats assuming he even gets the charge and doesnt have to immediately waste the charge to get out/reposition.
what people ended up doing in the last beta was ignoring him since that would mean he never gets charge and his base damage is so low hes basically irrelevant
@@b33lze6u6 Bro his punch is not meant to kill people. Also if they are stunned you can simply just run up and shoot them 2-3 times in the head.
Doom just takes much more aim now, which is far better than getting killed by a stupid E and Shift.
OWL dooms are top damage when they play you know that right?
Great video man. Content has 100% improved.
AWESOME video, this is exactly what I was looking for
This was such a fantastic overview. As a visual person, I loved the side-by-side production.
Top tier content!
damn, they did Mei really dirty though. should have given her a tank rework since her ice themed kit has a lot of potential for that role imo
Mei is strong she’s just fine lol
Youd be surprised. Now instead of being frozen, by that time they are just dead
@@kylerqaz22 IDK it feels like they made her more boring to play. As someone who hasn't played OW for years a lot of the changes seem like overcorrection just to "nuke" the old meta instead of cohesive new vision.
@@adiach3nko 100%
There's just one problem
She smol
The removal of Mei's freeze is actually crazy when you think about it. It was a core part of her kit and concept. It was the thing her character was built around from the very beginning as a concept drawing. It's like taking away Widowmaker's ability to snipe, or Tracer's ability to blink and instead she just runs 50% faster for a second.
The new anti-CC direction of OW2 is certainly something, but when we talk about the victims and what's left on the cutting room floor, Mei has definitely got to be the worst of them all by far. I still remember the Pyro comparison jokes back in 2016 and now it just feels unavoidable.
im actually glad they removed it, it was no fun getting frozen all the time
100%, instead of the devs putting in the work to formulate new CC counters like in Dota, League, Smite, etc, they'd rather take out as much cc altogether ruining a lot of the characters. Ice character that can no longer freeze anyone lmao. should retire her or kill her off bliz.
Yeah, what a shame... Not to mention they even nerfed her wall, and ultimate.
I don't really care if it's "always been like that" tbh they remove abilities that prevent people from playing the game and I'm cool with that lol. I guess a middle ground would be to not only slow their movement speed but also fire rate and mouse sensitivity? Still, I'm looking forward
Ngl even tho Mei got nerfed a lot I still have a lot of fun with her. Even tho she doesn't freeze the move speed decrease is still pretty beneficial, ppl don't know how to deal with it. But I don't see the point in kiriko having cleanse if there's hardly anyone out there who's being stunned or frozen.
Thanks karq I really needed this w video 😁
Orisa's primary weapon reminds me of the plasma rifle in halo in both overheat mechanic and how master chief reacts to the overheating.
I hate what they have done to her
@@buuuuuuuuuuuuuu Fr I miss da shields
@@buuuuuuuuuuuuuu yeah. even design-wise, i guess they decided she didnt feel african enough that they gave her a spear like some savannah hunter and dreadlock-like hair. And got rid of her awesome shield and ability to yank enemies out of cover too. really the only change I do like is the gun itself.
@@thorveim1174 its low key racist 😅
@@buuuuuuuuuuuuuu nah. Think she was just better off before with just the antilope theme and armor patterns instead of that tripling down on it. And its no secret overwatch pushes hard on "muh diversity", and it really feels Orisa was redesigned this way JUST for that sole purpose
Thank you for this video! I'm a returning OW player. Haven't played for 2 years now, and this visual rundown and comparison changes were just what I was looking for. Glad to be following you again, KarQ!
(Also, it was fun seeing familiar names in your example clips like Fitzy and Flats... and Seagull? What?)
Great review, very clear. Thank you, good luck, everything, peace and health!
Thank you so much for this video I needed this as I forgot how to play OW since I stop playing for 2 years I’m so glad someone made this for me instead of me having to find it out on my own 🎉🎉🙏🙏🙏🙏😘 (i subbed with notis on)
I really think that Bastion's rework would've benefitted from an ability that made use of Ganymede (maybe have him swoop down to peck at an enemy's face to stun them?) instead of that weird bouncing grenade...
Honestly his nade's biggest use looks like the rocket jumping to me lol, which is really good granted so he can get to high ground
I agree- the bouncing grenade feels so out of place... it feels like a fan's workshop ability that was made into their actual kit as is
Zenyatta's new kick is going to lead to some hilarious moments ngl
i love how they made the game more fast paced with much less stuns, make the game much less annoying
tanks are horrible
RIP Mei
This is literally what I wanted to know. Very informative. Thanks
RIP DOOMFIST
Rip 💀
this is so good. I slurped up so much release info and dumped it on my friends that i forgot all the hero cahnges. Thank u.
Exactly what I needed, buddy. Thanks
Thank you, great vid!
I think Brig's changes were what confused me the most when trying her out in the beta. Nice to refresh my memory on exactly how she works.
D.Va's forehead has also been increased to compensate for that +50 health.
why you gotta call me out there in the outro 🤣i subbed
Thank you for this great explaining video 👌
Am I crazy, or does Mei's primary fire feel like a flamethrower?
Frostburn
Pyro: "Mmmph mmmmph?"
It’s because she can’t freeze anyone anymore. She was a beast in the beta, I think she’s really underrated as she’s basically a dps tank
@@TomahawkGaming-uh9ny im reading this in pyro voice in my head
I feel like initially they did give her the freeze to make it look less like TF2 pyro. But now that they took out a good portion of the status effect and switched to raw damage, it does kinda just be flamethrower
You missed a couple things:
- Orisa’s fortify cooldown went from 10 seconds to 12 seconds
- Zaryas bubbles start cooldown on activation rather than on destruction
- junkrats trap does 100 damage now instead of 80
- soldier’s movement speed was not reduced as that was reverted
- baptiste’s damage falloff was at 25 meters in Overwatch 1 they just nerfed it to 20 meters in the initial beta and then reverted the nerf in the last patch
- baptiste’s regen burst had its cooldown increased to 15 seconds from 13
Honestly this is actually kinda a lot dunno how he missed all of this.
Would like to add that Sigma's Accretion, without a doubt, has more knockback than it did in Ow1. At least i swear it does. in ow1 you could knock them off if there standing almost off already. Ow2 they can just be slightly close and i can usually knock them off now.
@@Steampunk_Kak knock back wise I’m not sure but I feel like it’s the same just cause I haven’t seen anyone mention it but I’m definitely not certain on that
@@sideeswipe I just feel like i've been able to knock them off ledges way easier than before, when in ow1 they had to almost be standing off the ledge in the first place to get knocked off.
Also reaper now heals on hit so he's effectively immortal... thanks blizzard
@@benmunn7481 ??? Reaper's had lifesteal for like 4 years now
THANK YOU. I haven’t watched any ow2 videos, so I didn’t know how I was gonna know how all of the heroes worked, but now I will
Very informative, thank you!
New vid suggestion: 1 synergy for every ALLIED hero. Teach us how to play effectively with every other possible teammate. Like where to set up when you have an allied Ana, how to utilize an allied Rein's shield etc.
The sheer amount of work that had to go into this...You're the man, KarQ!
Almost none
Great video as usual KarQ!
I’m new to over watch and honestly I appreciate this vid it’s gonna be way easier for me to go into fights
I love that balance :
Mercy : now falls slower and regen is not unique anymore. Woohoo.
Kiriko : knockback/invincibilty/cleanse/instant heal on one button :D
makes one wonder why one would ever want to pick mercy, sadly...
Also Roadhog no longer has his unofficial passive (enemies receive less ult charge from Roadhog) because of the Tank passive
Surely a nerf for reaper and tracer, can't farm ult charge on a road hog to same extent
Great video🙌🏾
what an amazing video idea and purpose. gj m8
Love seeing the bastio and Orisa reworks. Can't wait to jump in later today
So they destroyed Mei making her an ult farm. What a shame.
thanks for the vid, great summary
had to lower your speed for once cause im drunk but i apprecieate the speed of information, no bs, thumbs up
I love how everyone loves the mercy changes and calls them buffs except actual mercy players
Kiriko was literally built for aim gods. 120 damage a headshot with that many kunai is nuts
god i wish i had watched this video before jumping into rank!!! this clears up SOOOO many issues i was having
Very helpful video. Thank you!
It really sucks to see everyone getting some kind of buff, but Mei just got absolutely nerfed to the point that she doesn’t even feel fun to play anymore
I haven’t played OW before. I used this video as quick glance at all the heros and their abilities.
Great vid bro
thank you was amazing to watch
Dont forget Hanzos storm arrows actually ricochet off the floor now! Cool little added detail!
Wait they do?
i think they already did in OW1 ! it's a nice detail thought because sometimes it catches you around corners!
Simple geometry
I played an OW1 mod that changed Mei's movement, and it's too bad OW2 didn't use it. You could freeze a path along the floor with her gun to travel faster, but at the expense of ammo (and looking up) so there was a great risk vs reward mechanic to it.
Awesome content! Thank you!
Amazing vid and so good for info
I know it's not the most exciting thing to produce, but an update to your hit boxes video would be very interesting and useful for the community.
it’s crazy how much effort KarQ puts into his videos. great work!! your videos are amazing ❤

Which us odd from karq
bro years ago id watch your videos everyday on overwatch. half a decade later you're in my recommended good to see your vids again man
Wow this must have been so much work. KraQ the 🐐
I fixed your doomfist script:
"Doomfist has been converted from a DPS to a vegetable. The only tank that can't do burst damage to quickly kill a squishy hero. Like Winston. So to go along with Overwatch 2, we now have Winston 2.
wow you're legend for making this video..thanks!!!
great video keep up the good work mate. ow2 is hella fun
I think it’s a smart little change to Cassidy’s ult. It’s a little quicker to get to the 200 damage needed to kill a squishy, but takes a while longer to get to the 600-800 damage range to kill most tanks. Where there is only one tank in OW2 that change makes sense to me.
its mcree
McCree > Cassidy
Who's cassidy
Never heard of this Cassidy character before.
@@Kyxul it’s kind of funny because in game I still by habit call him Mcree. I’m glad they changed it after it was known the developer they named mcree after was part of the sexual harassment scandal at Blizzard. In game I always fumble on the characters names when making call outs, so mcree is easier for me then trying to remember the name change. It’s funny though that four people replied the same thing on my comment.
RIP my love Mei 💗😪 7 nerfs for some inconsistent damage on a beam that's not even about dealing damage.. gonna play tank if devs don't let her remain fun I guess
Bruh Mei in a rush comp is gonna be insane, comboing her with Junkerqueen will be disgusting
@@thecanadiandefender1451 I guess, but it doesn't matter so much if the hero isn't fun to play
THANK YOU SO MUCH FOR THIS as someone who hasn't played since echos release I had NO IDEA about these changes!. Dva is nuts now wtf she always finds out a way to be my main
Excellent video!
