@@8lynx817 Roar? One of the best? Top 3 at the time was arguably Super, Bumper, and Mano (no specific order). Top 5 would add Marve1 and Pokpo (some people may say Oge when he's performing well).
@@Ishidres Pretty much. Before role Q it was either GOATS or 4 dps, and when the former started to become extremely popular and a lot of people complained, Blizzard decided to do Role Q. To balance out the either GOATs or 4DPS meta. It was highly controversial. Now I think everyone is enjoying Role Q. But I agree on both sides: Goats was cancer. It is truly a brain dead, charge in with low risk comp. Too much health and too much dmg with literally undying tanks due to 3 healers. Rein's melee does a shit ton of dmg, but with GOATS having Rein literally not die, Rein could just charge in at any time with a zarya bubble and start hammering anything and everything, while getting constantly fully healed. But at the same time, teams who were coordinated and rank 4 dps comp, was truly op was well. So it was either 4 dps or GOAT. Role Q fixed that. No more GOATs, no more 4DPS comps, just a balanced 2-2-2.
Don’t you see what they are doing? The Korean meta has evolved past getting the most value out of their abilities and has shifted towards complete mind games. This wasn’t a wasted fire strike, it was a window into the minds of the other team, establishing control over the other team on the first push is groundbreaking. If this was a misplay, then it was an intentional misplay. This is Korea we’re talking about! They’re using the awareness and gamesense of the other team against them. You thought this was a misplay, this is goats vs goats at the top level. This fire strike into a tree was probably the single most important play in this entire game. Mind games like these are not to be underestimated.
that guy yah goodluck finding a RANDOM team (not friends) to play with that a- actually speak english (eu servers mostly) b- have a mic c- plays a hero that best fits the comp Instead of picking their go-to (every Hanzo ever) and lastly d- focuses the Dps/Healers
Ironically, the way to beat them is also a current meta. Stun meta. Essentially, high displacement and/or high stun heroes such as Brigitte, Lucio, Pharah, etc, can knock their charge out of position. Another well known military tactic is to merely move around them. Scorpion tactics were implemented purely to counter this strategy. As strong set of flankers with a flanker tank (I.e. D.va, Lucio/Mercy, Reaper/a select few other flanks) would allow the main side of team being charged to just scatter, meaning that on offence the GOATS team is now off the point and you are on it.
'Roar fire-strikes a tree, and the fight begins'. Just gonna point out that Roar actually kept fire-striking walls and objects throughout the 7 game series(KDP vs Runaway Korean Contenders Season 2 Finals). Don't know what's his obsession with it man. Edit: Might be Bumper instead, couldn't remember which Rein, but 1 of the Reins kept fire-striking objects.
Generally speaking it's not a bad idea to miss a firestrike on purpose against Zarya. Firestrike is pretty much free charge for Zarya since it's super easy for her to react too. Pretending like you are going to fire strike makes her waste bubble and as a result nets her ZERO energy.
@@hannesbaum9318 blizzard panicked and 2-2-2 was formed. They didn't really have a response towards Goats comp. They made new heroes, did nothing. Nerfed heroes, did nothing, buffed dps, did nothing. 2-2-2, stopped goats comp.
Interesting that you mention that GOATS team is fading into obscurity, but 3 of their players are very successful OWL players. Reiner(Sit) just led Glads to their second stage title, Coluge with SFS have an unbeaten normal season record so far and Gator led his team to the grand finals last season. It's cool to see how far they have come since T3 Overwatch.
Well at the time, the players were fading into obscurity. Since the video was made a few months after their historic 3-0 vs NRG in the BEAT Invitational. However you are right, it is great to see how all three tank players were thriving, except right now, Reiner is in bad health, I really hope he can get better.
The way London countered Philadelphia at 6:45 was beautifully done! I dont know how you can proceed this perfectly! The timing of everything when half of the team came out of spawn so they could beat them together. But the play from Gesture and Nus was the best moment. So smart!
There is only one way to play goats wrong and that is to be timid. If you have even one CoD player on your team that is use to hit and run strategy then you are screwed. This style is 100% go ham. You live you win you die you loose.
7:53 hello I'm from the future, season 2 was dominated by goats, but thank god we have rolelock now, so goats isn't playable anymore and we can all be happy about 2-2-2. Season 3 introduced us with hero bans which make the game more interesting, cheers out
How to counter it: In theory, you take advantage of what goat lacks aka lack of map control, mobility and ineffective at mid to long range. Execution on the otherhand tho...
@@fierrect6089 the statistics of people bitching and complaining? the best comp in the game rn isnt even goats, its a sombra dive comp. Winston, Dva, Sombra, Doomfist, Ana, Lucio. Both sombra and doomfist are great against brig. if you go on overbuff she isnt #1 in anything (on weekly setting), and in gm setting on weekly she isnt even top 6 in anything (besides tie rate but that stat doesnt mean much of anything).
@@michaelasnicar6684 blitzkrieg was to overwhelm the enemy, more similar to goats than dive. Dive focuses on focusing down vulnerable unsuspecting targets to secure at least a 5v6 which is always a more favourable matchup
Whats next?! 5 healers 1 tank? 2 tanks 4 healers? The world does not know yet... Only time will tell... 5 dps 1 healer? Mei, Bastion, Soldier, Sombra, Reaper, Brigitte? (the reason i thought this might be good is because they all are able to heal :3)
next comp will be 4 heals and 2 tanks or 1 tank 3 dps and 2 heals. Heck it can also be quad dps and 2 heals. Tanks are fcked in every patch and dpses gain while heal is still way to powerfull.
Actually played goat for the first time today even before watching this as a joke in ranked and it worked pretty well. And its hella fun to play too imo
Teams: realize that Zen provides plenty enough healing with three supports and now they have Discord Orb and some range Meta: stays the same for 8 months
goats is what killed ow1. even after they implemented role queue the damage had already been done. people dont understand how actually overpowered goats was at the time, it shifted the meta overnight pretty much. if you weren't running goats, the other team was going to and they were gonna win. i remember times where before the match started, both teams would agree to not play goats just so that they could play something else and have a little fun. this went on for almost 2 years and the game had only been out for about 2 years at this point so by the time role queue was put in, goats had been meta for 2 out of the 4 years that overwatch had been a game. every hero that couldnt be fit anywhere in a goats comp saw little to no play at all, you wanted to play dps? nope you have to play tank or support and only some tanks and supports. and you have to remember that before goats was the mercy meta where there were 12 players on each team because she would mass rez every 30 seconds. ow2 seems to be going a lot better in the regard of every character feeling somewhat balanced, some are of course a little stronger but thats just how games are but i cant stop feeling like some owl team is gonna find a broken comp and its gonna be meta for the next few years before blizzard fixes it.
I freaking love this comp to bits! (makes sense bc I main Rein and Zarya) I always get healz and I can play very up close and personal, AND Strike fear into the hearts on my enemies!
Ah yes, I have an oddly fond memory watching OWL GOATS despite my gold games being rife with GOATS 6 stacks that would roll me repeatedly…simpler times, that was my favorite era of overwatch

This guy is good! Between the explanations and the music in the background I was really hyped and focus seeing the video. Need to check your other content. 👍🏻
I didn't play the game during the GOATS phase, just arround realease and recently picked it up again and told my friends about it, we had so much fun XD
I can think of a form of 2 man "GOATS remover" consisting of roadhog and mei. the roadhog hangs back as the mei works on the frontline, and hooks one of the tanks. once the unlucky tank is hooked, the mei positions herself behind the tank and freezes them. if the tank survives the mei can wall and just keep the tank away from their team as the remaining teammates get to work, the squishies easier to get at.
Meanwhile torb + zarya... MOLTEN NUT!!!! Moments later... TEAM KILL! The once laughable Torb has completely wiped a meta off the face of OW with his rework
Mei and junkrat, if they play well can also hit this comp hard vs non-6-stack goats. Mei needs a pocket and punishes the closeness of goat while junkrat, just like phara can stay away and he has more splash damage. Bastion also goes through non-optimal tanks like butter. Goat has no ranged threats, but up close squishies die just as fast as tanks to it, so I'd say pick 3-4 dps, an offtank with good damage, and 1-2 healers. Dps pick 1 should be junkrat/phara/mei to punish their closeness. Pick 2 should just be a lot of damage, like torb, bastion, even reaper perhaps. Pick 3 should be hitscan, picking off anything wounded or that has been forced out of position by pick1. Pick 3 healers and tanks according to the dps choices, mei and torb go great with zarya, pharmercy is a must have combo if you have phara.
I remember playing Overwatch ranked and having some of the most fun playing the game when queuing with some randoms playing GOATs. Something about the all or nothing feel of the comp just gives you a rush.

@Ishir Mehra in pro play a roadhog is just free ult charge against most comps, goats included
In my opinion a big counter to good would be a sneaky bastion elimanating the main tank and supports and then let the rest of the move in

Play doomfist and cc the main tank out of postiion so your team can kill it
Also an anit-heal from Ana's grenade when the fight heats up really swings things in your favor.
that guy yah goodluck finding a RANDOM team (not friends) to play with that
a- actually speak english (eu servers mostly)
b- have a mic
c- plays a hero that best fits the comp
Instead of picking their go-to (every Hanzo ever)
and lastly
d- focuses the Dps/Healers
Hanzo is actually good against GOATS though :thinking:

Moira is often swapped out for zen, so range isn’t a problem for goats anymore
then the issue becomes sustain, three off healers weren't enough for fat hp heroes like rein and dva
Watafu But it was???
It was more than enough with defense matrix and rein shield plus brig can have huge heals when everyone is grouped up
It still is an issue, it puts a lot of pressure onto zen to hit those long range shots.

"Roar firestrikes a tree, and the fight begins" holy shit that made my fucking day, thank you.
It's been almost a year since the death of goats
😔
F
Its back now! (At least in comp)

This guy is good! Between the explanations and the music in the background I was really hyped and focus seeing the video. Need to check your other content. 👍🏻
I wonder what these guys feel knowing what they created
That battle at the end was *really epic*
"do you think it will be used in season 2 of the overwatch league?" they don't know pepelaugh
"Roar firestrikes a three" This quote made my day.
“Roar fire-strikes a tree and the battle begins”
I always start my team fights by firestriking a tree
I didn't play the game during the GOATS phase, just arround realease and recently picked it up again and told my friends about it, we had so much fun XD
I’ve done goats once, won the game.(It was in silver comp)
I've been doing a lot of goat since I am a zarya main and the rest of the team just kind of pick the right characters and I love it.
"Roar firestrikes a tree, and the fight begins"
One of my favorite lines
I can think of a form of 2 man "GOATS remover" consisting of roadhog and mei. the roadhog hangs back as the mei works on the frontline, and hooks one of the tanks. once the unlucky tank is hooked, the mei positions herself behind the tank and freezes them. if the tank survives the mei can wall and just keep the tank away from their team as the remaining teammates get to work, the squishies easier to get at.
Meanwhile torb + zarya...
MOLTEN NUT!!!!
Moments later...
TEAM KILL!
The once laughable Torb has completely wiped a meta off the face of OW with his rework
Mei and junkrat, if they play well can also hit this comp hard vs non-6-stack goats. Mei needs a pocket and punishes the closeness of goat while junkrat, just like phara can stay away and he has more splash damage. Bastion also goes through non-optimal tanks like butter.
Goat has no ranged threats, but up close squishies die just as fast as tanks to it, so I'd say pick 3-4 dps, an offtank with good damage, and 1-2 healers.
Dps pick 1 should be junkrat/phara/mei to punish their closeness. Pick 2 should just be a lot of damage, like torb, bastion, even reaper perhaps. Pick 3 should be hitscan, picking off anything wounded or that has been forced out of position by pick1. Pick 3 healers and tanks according to the dps choices, mei and torb go great with zarya, pharmercy is a must have combo if you have phara.
except when dva swallows zaryas ult and torbs ult and he gets charged by a german armored giant and gets raped
This comment didn’t age well
KWatt wow you couldn’t have been more wrong lol
KWatt Yeah, That didn’t happen. Goats is still a cancer that refuses to be destroyed.
I remember playing Overwatch ranked and having some of the most fun playing the game when queuing with some randoms playing GOATs. Something about the all or nothing feel of the comp just gives you a rush.
The the devs ruined the game
Shout out to GOATS to cause Overwatch to role queue and 5 player teams
5 player is just better then 6, since 2 tanks had issues (for example double shield) that 1 doesn't
2 tanks is way better cause now the dps barely get heals it is just tank getting pocketed 2 tanks was way better@@trials_of_death3680
They could of just updated the game and change things but they are a small company@@trials_of_death3680
Ok, "ROAR fire-strikes a tree, and the fight begins" made me lol
Am I the only one who said sometimes at the beginning while thinking "when I win only"
3:11 Roar firestrikes a tree, and the fight begins. Good humor style
"Strong pick in the tier 2 scene" laughes in season 2
Your commentary is so unknowingly funny. “He firestrikes a tree, and starts off the fight”
It's great to see that there's more comp than the old 222 I think it's very effective
It's nice to see something different, yes, but goats is a very cheap tactic that even bronze players can pull off.
@@nuriel1825 You mean bronze player working together coordinate together and pull out a comp that is not 2 2 2 woah like in the legend wow
@@nuriel1825 Coordination? In bronze? Whaaaaat
@@randirafaeli there's really not that much too it, stick with your team, and head straight for point
I laughed so hard at "a few seconds from initiation, Roar firestrikes a tree, and the fight begins."!
I'm watching this video now in season 2 and the last question he asked was will this comp be used in season 2🙈😂😂
"Roar fire strikes a tree and the fight begins" 🤣🤣🤣 3:08
Akshonesports: do u think it will be used in season 2
Me: sadly yes
Overwatch league in season about to go into stage 4: ITS REWIND TIME!!!!!
