Hey! I'm glad you like the art, but I always like to point out that I'm not the one behind most of it. I direct it but I've got my hands busy with everything else. Check out the folk in the description if you want to see more!
This is such a love letter to a game i used to love, I'm gonna miss old overwatch no matter what they do, thank you Rowby for giving overwatch the love I couldn't muster anymore
This isn't TF2, bro. When you emote after killing people in this game they take it personally, call you bad, focus you, and then teabag you after killing you.
Im someone who never actually experienced OG Overwatch. Characters that grasped my attention where echo, junkrat, bastion and torbjorn from the dps, Zenyatta from support and tanks were Sigma and Rammatra. I had no actual connection to the first overwatch, but i still could understand how fuckin bad it mustve felt for any long overwatch fan getting such a release and a broken promise in place of store update. I can confidently say Overwatch 2 has gone in the right direction a while ago with more fun character types who fit their class but also have a specific niche, except Rammatra who is an All Rounder... and sojourn and kiriko eating their cake and shoving it in your face too. While todays trend is shitting on the older member of a certain Genre of gaming, like marvel rivals players bragging how their game came out well made and basically bullying anyone who dares say they still like overwatch, you can still appreciate the competition being a good sign for Overwatch's development. Also even if Marvel Rivals takes over as a long stay King of PVP Hero Shooters, doesnt mean overwatch cant co-exist, people are just gonna look at it as everyone looked at anyone who dared to say they like Paladins more
27:58 Kiri actually had her kunai base damage increased and headshot multiplier decreased around season 9. Can’t believe bro doesn’t read all of the patch notes.
@RowbyVids As I'm watching this with knowledge of the DIEHARD overwatch 2 community, and reading the Dev Blogs leading up to the current 6v6 test, I'll say this. At 1:22, the Meta was easily fixable in 6v6, and Que Times were not just the only issue. The game was made on an entirely different Engine, which was supposed to handle the PVE. This Engine was not built with 6v6 in mind, as it was designed for PVP, and 5v5 was the greatest workaround for PVP without breaking every server. In the end, the PVE was canceled, and we got stuck with 5v5 because the Devs expected to build story mode, and we got left off on the side. Another massive Blizzard L. At least Marvel Rivals is here.
Lmao bro just made up that engine stuff, they're literally running 6v6 on the current engine and it works perfectly fine, people gotta stop spreading misinfo on the internet
I'm ultimately of a similar mindset to you. I wanna see 6v6 return fully and forever, I wanna see the PVE rise again like a damn phoenix, but I just...dont think its gonna happen. I want to love it again, but right now, I just can't
27:56 kiriko's kunai base dmg is 60 and is now only 2x used to be 45 dmg and 2.5x but they buffed her cuz her winrate was low don't know what the dmg was when it was 3x
Minor correction: venture's regular cooldowns give 30 shield health each (maxing out at 60 regularly) but their ultimate gives 75 (which obeys a cap of 75)
The Overwatch PVE was..... nothing short of a tragedy that can be.... avoided. The original trailer got like 6 skills, it's a start and can be iterated further hell you can just do it HOTS style and compensate with good mission and story. Instead Blizzard tried to put 3 Skill trees on 1 hero, the reason? Project Titan which was supposed to be Overwatch but MMORPG and then pulls out a captain obvious when Lifeweaver came out saying "designing 3 skill trees for pve is harder than designing 1 hero" and my response at the time was "WHO ASKED YOU TO DO A SKILL TREE!?"
Characters were never locked behind a paywall. Since day 1 you could get them for free in the battlepass, after a season or two they put them down to tier 45 in the battlepass so you could get them within the two week period there was before they were released into comp. Symm also lost her 6 turrets in OW1, it wasn't OW2 that changed that.
I like your content and am glad you’re branching out of DBD so i’ll click on the video an like it, but I have no desire to be reminded that overwatch still exists so i’m not watching it cheers
I was so excited for Mauga. His design is so cool. I've always gravitated towards, "The guy with the minigun" in any shooter. But he's such an absolute disappointment in design. Keeping myself alive by just shooting the fattest opponent until one of us dies just isn't fun to do. I love Mauga on paper, can't stand him in practice.
As someone who’s been with overwatch since it’s release I’ll say that I actually do enjoy 5v5 and playing tank makes it for more brawly and controlling when fighting hard. But if the game goes back to 6v6 I’ll adapt.
I love 6v6 and I have mainly been playing tank as roadhog. Not only do I feel like I have to be less scared to die but also feel like I can push or hold my ground more often sense I have another tank to, not only rely on but also to support the things I do not notice. 5v5 made me a dps player and made me hate the game, that feeling went away and becoming a dps player made the game feel so soulless. Sure I was getting kills but what’s the point when we always lose. Sure I would love to play ram but I can’t because Im not good at being the only tank. Now that 6v6 is back I feel like I’m able to actually play the game the way I love.
18:00 that’s actually wrong goats is built around forcing as much healing down the throat of a tank as possible not the tank’s abilities to make plays. Goats dies by their supports not by their tanks
i'd like to point out the game paladins and how in ow2 i swear they decided to copy some work by taking auto heal out of combat, the cauterize mechanic dps has, 5v5, and even making the hitboxes huge for some fweakin reason
Bro you know someone really went through pain if they can tell you about when Mauga had UNLIMITED AMMO during his ultimate. That’s no reloading .. think about that
League player here. So you're telling me Kiriko is reworked Akali, who I'm convinced was done to make her able to sell more skins with a "different" feel. Sacrificing any potential she had story-wise. Part of this is a joke.
After my friends and I switched from PvP to PvAI, Overwatch 2 has been so much more fun. Sure you don't earn XP as fast in PvAI, but you still earn XP regardless.
Way to push the video to 10 minutes, Rowby.
Your art has evolved so much! It gives your videos so much personality, keep up the great work, man!

NEW ROWBY LETS GO
36:34 you really haven’t seen a doomfist player spam “AND DEY SAY” over and over again after killing 2 people.
doomfisters are an outlier
That Paul joke deserves its own trigger warning but I’ve never heard a better analogy for how Mauga ruined this game for a lot of people
It’s never boring around me!
40:24 I was 100% sure he was going to talk about the "fan- animations"
For hazards trailer, I for real thought he was a villain type character
he could be, depending on your opinion on anarchy.
He is, though
he kinda is, he's just an anarchist
Oh how you spoil us Rowby.
Just before Christmas too, nice work
Last hope for Overwatch is for me that they balance 6vs6, it would be great if overwatch has 5vs5 and 6vs6 both with ranked
0:22 is how I feel after every overwatch game 😭
Babe wake up Rowby posted

Every time Rowby said that they can't take the story out because he paid for it, I remember Destiny 2.
I play overwatch 2 just because playing as kiriko and being an annoying little shit for the other team is very fun.
This is really well made, props my guy
31:40 Paul Jumpscare (caught me so off guard)
W rowby can’t wait to get your shirt for Christmas you’re my favorite TH-camr have a happy holidays
27:58 Kiri actually had her kunai base damage increased and headshot multiplier decreased around season 9.
Can’t believe bro doesn’t read all of the patch notes.
A whole hour! We eating good today
Really cool video. I don’t usually watch full hour videos in one sitting like this. Keep it up
I thought I was gonna watch 15 minutes and go cook some dinner, but I ended up watching full hour
'8th deadly sin' is a new special level of BM I will forever hold in my heart.
The anticipation was high for this one....
A great video to end the year on, perfectly styled, perfectly structured, everything.
as goes the saying: TL:DR, Balanced by Blizzard
Technically speaking, since your talking about overwatch classic we can call this your first overwatch video Rowby.
she over on my watch till I item shop
W Christmas present from Rowby
Christmas came early 🎅🤧
Love your longer videos keep up the good work

Overwatch? More like I'm So Over It...watch.
I'm ultimately of a similar mindset to you. I wanna see 6v6 return fully and forever, I wanna see the PVE rise again like a damn phoenix, but I just...dont think its gonna happen. I want to love it again, but right now, I just can't
27:56 kiriko's kunai base dmg is 60 and is now only 2x
used to be 45 dmg and 2.5x but they buffed her cuz her winrate was low
don't know what the dmg was when it was 3x
I literally forgot the devs used to do Christmas streams where they would just sit in silence for 6 hours 😂
1 hour full of rowby???? lets fucking go
Looks like the next hour of my life will be spent enjoying this
Rowby video + snacks = a great evening :)
Minor correction: venture's regular cooldowns give 30 shield health each (maxing out at 60 regularly) but their ultimate gives 75 (which obeys a cap of 75)
YEAHHH NEW ROWBY VIDEO
I really really miss the Retribution event and other story modes like it. Also R.I.P. dance emotes T.T

Every comment is a generic appreciation of you posting something and not a single one talks about anything covered in the actual video
28:58 I'm like 90% sure that was me playing lifeweaver with you there
Characters were never locked behind a paywall. Since day 1 you could get them for free in the battlepass, after a season or two they put them down to tier 45 in the battlepass so you could get them within the two week period there was before they were released into comp.

I KNEW THAT WAS SEIGI- I lived on his comic dubs for the longest time lol
I like your content and am glad you’re branching out of DBD so i’ll click on the video an like it, but I have no desire to be reminded that overwatch still exists so i’m not watching it
cheers
God speed rowby you keep me going
Finding this after I’ve settled in Rivals feels pretty good, wishing y’all the best in the coming seasons ❤️

Christmas came early this year! (for about 3 days)

I can’t believe you chikawagga’ed ana, peak video
I love 6v6 and I have mainly been playing tank as roadhog.

Now that 6v6 is back I feel like I’m able to actually play the game the way I love.
Real. 6v6 alleviates my tankxiety and makes me want to play the role way more. Even tanks I'm not familiar with.
wasnt expecting the drill dash on pharah sending her of the map
oml when is your houndmaster video coming out?
Yes i needed a long video
wasn't the kiriko headshot bonus damage removed?
The writing in the first minute made me lol. Maybe 6v6'ers do indeed need a flag
0/10 video not enough Venture overwatch
A hour long Rowby video? I guess I got a second birthday
Kiriko doesnt have triple headshot damage anymore, its just a regular 2x now
18:00 that’s actually wrong goats is built around forcing as much healing down the throat of a tank as possible not the tank’s abilities to make plays. Goats dies by their supports not by their tanks
What in the world did starcraft 2 do to have shame on our bloodlines
This video is a masterpiece
1 hour rowby vid, shitting on a game i DESPISE (I WANTED MY FUCKING PVE MODE) HELL YEAYH
this is why rowby is the goat
i'd like to point out the game paladins and how in ow2 i swear they decided to copy some work by taking auto heal out of combat, the cauterize mechanic dps has, 5v5, and even making the hitboxes huge for some fweakin reason
Nice jolly theme!!!
nice art!
30:04 DVATTRA REFERENCE
Bro you know someone really went through pain if they can tell you about when Mauga had UNLIMITED AMMO during his ultimate. That’s no reloading .. think about that
35:46 everything else is forgiveable but Light mode???? Nah this one gets the Chair.
Marvel Rivals is filling the overwatch shaped hole in my heart
I like playing tank in ow2 because you feel so strong and important and I hate playing tank in ow2 because you're so important.
Can Rowby merry me for this merry holiday
Hey rowby quick chrismas question for you? Do you like H.U.N.K or Leon better?
Leon for sure. Though I hope the new game doesn't have any returning protagonists
But would you like to see hunk again
League player here. So you're telling me Kiriko is reworked Akali, who I'm convinced was done to make her able to sell more skins with a "different" feel. Sacrificing any potential she had story-wise.
Part of this is a joke.
After my friends and I switched from PvP to PvAI, Overwatch 2 has been so much more fun. Sure you don't earn XP as fast in PvAI, but you still earn XP regardless.
58:12 You are telling me that I have to work as a team in a team based shooter?
If I had a nickel for every time Roby made a big overwatch video, I'd have two nickels. Which isn't a lot but it's weird that it happened twice right?
i hope that overwatch's worst moments don't define it. but i hope bobby's do may he stay far far away
wallace wells in thumbnail...
Honestly, I only trust nestease games because they did dbd mobile, and before that shut down, it had really good community based ideas
We all know the real problem with the game is balance, it’s so bad it should be studied.
as someone who has been playing this game since 2016 and loves this game to death this game is dogshit dont play it
also you got alot of things wrong but im gona attribute that to video making time
Do you rly have a pfp of the they/them specimen lol
Flashpoint is the worst mode. Clash needs to end after three caps. I wish i could blacklist Flashpoint.
6v6 is not my medicine.
what a jolly silly fella
rowby is so based first 30 seconds and he's a 6 v 6er i KNEW IT
Man lol you know this video's been in production for a while bc Kiriko hasn't had her 3x crit multiplier in almost a year and a half
Wait why?
@@rawrdino7046 Why what?
Hey you're that dbd guy I used to watch a long time ago
14:23
Please Hanzo can do SO MUCH better than that country bumkin
Why am I watch this I have 1500 hrs
So where’s the marvel rivals video
49:24
