When I mention in chat that I used to be in the top 500, people assume I'm kidding. They look up my account and ignore me since I'm merely trying to improve the OW community, but I've been a pro zen/lucio player and have been hardstuck diamond the entire time.
Hey I was one of the OW1 GMs and I just wanted to say it was a blast as always Jay, genuinely a ton of fun to see the difference and have fun with the comms
I miss playing with my zarya main friend coms even if people used to insult they were at least talking I reached gm only the last year of ow1 sadly so never really had the real ow1 experience
@@randomduck8841 Ty bro thats wholesome af, I spent a lot of time getting their. I wont do any shameless plugs or any of that but if u keep at it and work on all aspects of ur game u can get there
It's all the more proof just how much more teamwork and coordination there was in OW1. Everyone is communicating constantly and coming together as one unit, when the OW2 team, although communicating with each other, almost seemed like 5 independent players relaying information about their own observations.
This is how all competitive games should be… jumping into OW2 and not playing OW1, I literally cannot believe the lack of comms in the ranked range. I’ve played CS since 2015 and Val since its beta inception; never have I had an issue with comms in any of those games. Are people just socially inept now? And the whole “mute chat and people because toxic” just adds to the issue… it’s infuriating to deal with.
i miss the days wher i came home from school and gave 0 F's about homework and played OW 1 the whole day just to get lootboxes and sweat my ass of. those days were the best gaming days of my life .
Fr, I would duo with my friend and we would run lobbies with Rein + Zar and have the best time with everyone talking. Now I get on am forced to lock Mauga and shoot the enemy Mauga for 10 mins and hope I win with no reward or lootbox at the end :(
i really miss the cards. it made you really appreciate the skill of the ppl on and off your team. plus it was always a flex when your team got all 4 slots lol
I met a group in Ranked OW1 back in like 2018 at midnight. 6 hours later we were the Big Dick Brigade and continued to grind rank for 6 months. The coms were peak OW
I miss ow1 so much. Tank duos, cards after games and time to talk after a match, and possibly the biggest reason, lootboxes and leveling up giving an actual reason to keep playing the game
More like diamonds man. I was gold in ow1 and got to diamond decently fast have assing it. The metal ranks got easier the more new players came in. Support roles even more boosted compared to ow1.
By calling out a hero like Reinreinreinreinrein, I’m convinced the team will just target that hero and get picks - you can just call out any hero and the pick will happen 😭🤣
while watching the last game it honestly made me really miss 2 cp. I was well aware of the issues with it but like jay said I feel like it was worth a shot with some tweaks in the OW 2 setting it would be just fine especially when we have game modes like push and flashpoint taking its place I wish 2 CP was in comp bro
it's in arcade almost every day now, I waited to Jay mention it, since ow2 players could have played it there I feel like they could do choke points tweaks and make some spawns further/closer and it would be fine to play
Do I prefer OW1 or OW2? Well I'll definitely say I end the night in a much more annoyed mood in OW2 than I ever did in OW1. I miss OW1 so much for all the reasons you mentioned, Jay. So much. 😭
I’ve only played ow 2 and seeing old clips and videos on ow1 I can already tell I would’ve had much more fun in that game. Much more bare bones. More skill expression. No bs suzu and pay to win. Ye there were rly annoying metas like double shield and triple stun brig. But overall across over 30 seasons, the game looked much much better and healthier.
I mean playing ow1 was always a fkin good time, like grinding the lvl to open loot boxes, 2cp maps which were the most memorable and just the ranked system even if I was only gold at the time was way funnier
You should do OW1 vs OW2 again BUT this time you have all the abilities for the OW1 team reversed back to how they used to work JUST for the OW1 team and leave the OW2 team as is. Like orissa has the power charger and the shield and pull. Sym has all her stuff back. Torb the same. Roadhog the same etc
Good catch, slowed it down and checked multiple times, the crosshair just flicks instantly to the like with autohotkey. Skippy is bronze coached to top500 I believe so it's even more sus. 😁
They saw that ana and shot where the ana was moving towards without thinking about the bus. I do it sometimes it's just a mistake, I see plenty of other people do it too.
you asked during the vid whether we prefer ow1 or ow2. i go with ow1 :) i enjoyed the teamplay between tanks. 5v5 is just a lazy take on solving some balance issues and thats exactly how ow2 feels like atm.
I quit during goats. When I heard Jay say "Goats lasted 11 months if it lasted 2 months or even a season it would have been fine" I actually fully agree and I hated that meta... I realize I hated it AFTER 6 MONTHS of just being stuck playing Zarya every game as a hitscan main.
I miss the overwatch 1 ranking system, this stupid "win 5 of lose 15 games" to get a rank is nonsense. I liked it a lot more when you just lost or gained points after a game. The cards were cool at the end of a game. I kind of liked the 6v6 and think they could bring it back somehow, perhaps on certain maptypes. I dont like what they did to support roles, though they kept their word, as the queue time finally balanced out now that all the dps players are quitting. OW2 is better because they actually manage to update the game every now and again, the ingame shop(whatever you think of it) was a smart move because now keeping the servers up isnt a moneysink for them anymore.
Would go pretty much the same ngl. From personal experience, I was gold tank, silver support, and silver to bronze dps in OW1. Im not diamond on tank, plat on dps, and masters on support. The average diamond or masters from back then is currently gm, and would smoke most players like me.
I don't think healer passive on everyone is a good thing or a bad thing but I think Overwatch might attacking the wrong angle. I feel like the frustrating part of the game is that it's a team game with Jenga like balance. One player falls over your entire team fight could be lost. As a healer it feels frustrating to be forced to play a specific healer or rush to the aid of player only for them to fall over in 1 second. As a tank you either feel invincible or you pop like a balloon. As a DPS you can feel alone and like everything is on you to perform. All of this I think is because damage/healing is too high.
I feel like ow1 6v6 was actually a team game that why we had to use com when ow2 feels more like a free for all where everyone can do everything by themself
I was in a semi-league for fun back in OW1 and comms were exactly like that. Target priority and focus was a different experience, nowadays comms are dead and I do believe it's because there's 1 less person to shot-call
Yeeaaahhh but the problem with loot boxes in general had always been "it incentivizes gambling." But like, between that, and Battle passes, I don't really know which one I want because battle passes can feel like a chore.
One thing i missed about ow1 is the community, people actually talked in comms, now everyone is mute, and the people who do talk are just shit talk. Overwatch is so much more fun when people actually talk.
I prefer old Overwatch 1 as it was way more fun maybe I am saying it as I played from my uncle's computer but i still prefer old mechanics like mccree's stuns and more. I love the on fire whenever you get a big super like genji zarya and ana ult combo for sixtuple kills and loot boxes. It was also probably more satisfying to get play of the game back then. Doomfist as offense character with uppercut and when bastion could be turret form forever with healing abilities. Torb super with stage 3 turret. Symettra with 6 turrets and everyone in your team played symettra to cheese. The old system with the broze frames and can be gotten to level 100 5 star gold would be so satisfying
20:55 That is the main problem with OW2. They weren't willing to retain a lot of things from the past game after the substantial changes they did to a lot of things in the game. Like 6v6 Double Shield would be dead with Orisa changes. Or 2CP being viable with one less tank. Small things like this ended up adding up in a desperate attempt to fundamentally change how OW2 is played that trickled down all the way from OW2 early development. (They focusing on it and leaving OW1 to die a slow death, only to be what we have today.)
They should add 2 cp back because it adds more variety. The addition of flashpoint made the game feel more fresh and added more to both the map pool and gameplay. 2 cp would only increase that.
@@thearchitectofthehounds9815 I much rather prefer toxic dps player who at least have some semblence of skill to back themselves up rather than toxic supports with overinflater ego (and elo)
i think off tank should actually be a role obv not as tanky, kinda like brawlers in HoTs vs actual tanks. i do miss Ow1 tho and the maps they took away.
@@lil_littledude not necessarily, it's just rank inflation. With OW2 ranked system change many players who really don't deserve their rank (not saying in a insulting way) managed to get to high ranks regardless. A lot of OW2 GMs were either masters or diamonds in Overwatch 1, some were even plat. While the grind to get into GM in ow1 was rough, so that's why Ow1 GMs are actually pretty fucking good, they got there due to their own efforts and didnt get carried to their rank by a poor designed ranked system.
@@hooni2212 yes because like 10,000 people were playing ow1 in s36, now the game has a much bigger playerbase who mostly had to learn the game from scratch The first few seasons of ow1 gm are not any better, but of course 6 years of experience and most non hardcore players dropping the game they figured it out
OW1 or OW2? OW1 and i regret not playing OW1 as i could have done. the most ironic part is, i didn't wanted to play OW1 as much solo so i din't, but now with OW2 even less ppl i know play OW.
It would be awesome if overwatch 1 players got to use the ow1 6v6 ruleset and hero patches while ow2 players used their heroes and ruleset (Sure idk if 6v5 would be balanced but still) Very fun to see ow1 players being dominant still
12:09 OW1 without hesitation! i miss my portait grind (being happy of gainng xp every game and stacking those stars on my portrait). I miss my gold farm before every events (lootboxs were far better than that shop that we have now on OW2) who allowed me to buy every cosmetics for free every year, that gave me a "goal"! i miss 6v6. i miss the game without new characters who arent played in rank but who are a pain in the ass in QP. i miss cards at the end of the match. i miss 2CP maps (every one of them). i could keep going like forever so i stop here!
It would be super interesting to see OW1 players with an OW1 setup versus an OW2 team with an OW2 setup. Maybe not 6v5, but let the OW1 team play with open queue hero selection. Find a way to let the OW1 players use OW1 balance heroes and don't let them use any OW2 heroes at all, too. Give Sym her old gun, Bastion his self heal, all the good stuff. Watching that would be insane.
Imo I will love the passive healing and that's only bc in lower elos and sometimes high supports forget to heal there dps or your team gets wiped bc they're being stupid and you lose all supports or in rare scenarios you tell your team you have no supports and they still run it down
Should do a video of Overwatch 1 stats with 6. Vs Overwatch 2 stats with 5 to see if 5v5 truly is better. Obviously removing new ow2 hero’s as their stats are based on ow2 not 1
Hey Jay3! I think a really cool video idea would be to put masters with comms against grandmasters without comms. I’m curious to see how balanced that would be!
I would say OW1 6v6 is where its at honestly thats what made OW so damn different an unique imo. When you have chaos everywhere that is what made it so damn fun watching OW league was fun too cant wait to see how this new pro scene goes I really hope to see big plays nothing bland.
the OW2 comes are dead silent tho it's pretty accurate. I commed a lot in plat/diamond in OW1 and I feel like I always got people in voice. In OW2 the comms are dead silent I very rarely get another soul in OW2, until the game ends and someone calls us trash lmao
The biggest difference between the players is the ow1 gms have been high elo for way longer and therefore are likely to have broader skillsets. I think it was always more likely for ow1 to win this.
Rank in Ow1 was much more rewarding when you won because all the players were better so you knew you deserved your rank and even while loosing, still frustrating as f and happened more frequently, youd at least get levels and hunt for loot boxes. Ow2 is such a tunnel vision since the PVE didnt work out in my opinion. It only wants us to spend money in the game rather than play to be rewarded which kept many of my friends hooked. I wish the devs kept the focus on what it already had, even if their PVE idea at the time before we knew theyd drop it sounded amazingly cool, because then the game would probably be more fun and exciting and they wouldnt have players dropping out left and right. They could likely keep the 2 tank games as well. Such a waste honestly
ow1 team: target priority and having fun and giggles
ow2 team: "what up team?" * silence *
that shit was honed to perfection during goats and there was so much more scrimming in OW1 --that is like peak goats comms
so true. seeing how everybody can be GM now when most of them clearly dont have the skills or the brain to play at that rank.
Ow1 players seemed way more experienced and the comms were so different as well
@@aGumballyeh wtf lol.
It’s the same game
That's because OW2 players can't say shit in chat without getting reported.

I miss my gold farm before every events (lootboxs were far better than that shop that we have now on OW2) who allowed me to buy every cosmetics for free every year, that gave me a "goal"! i miss 6v6. i miss the game without new characters who arent played in rank but who are a pain in the ass in QP. i miss cards at the end of the match. i miss 2CP maps (every one of them). i could keep going like forever so i stop here!
Jay speaking nothing but fundamental truths about OW all video long.
It would be super interesting to see OW1 players with an OW1 setup versus an OW2 team with an OW2 setup.
Maybe not 6v5, but let the OW1 team play with open queue hero selection. Find a way to let the OW1 players use OW1 balance heroes and don't let them use any OW2 heroes at all, too. Give Sym her old gun, Bastion his self heal, all the good stuff.
Watching that would be insane.
this brings back so much fucking memories
You should do this again but:
-ow1 team has another tank but they both have nerfed stats
-ow1 team can only play ow1 characters
Another victory for the OGs 🗣️🗣️🔥🔥🔥‼️‼️🦅
Isnt Time a top 20 peak tracer main 💀
It's not hard to make a hero that counters shields. Like, make Symmetra's beam pierce, or whatever. Blizzard went straight for the nuclear option.
Bro the ow1 team was genuinely just having fun while the ow2 team had no callouts and complete silence
The OW1 players have significantly more experience.
Ow1 > felt like good times thanks for the vid jay3😂
Imo I will love the passive healing and that's only bc in lower elos and sometimes high supports forget to heal there dps or your team gets wiped bc they're being stupid and you lose all supports or in rare scenarios you tell your team you have no supports and they still run it down
Amazing video especially the old lovely Volskaya. Do more videos with Anubis, Paris, Hanamura and Horizon pls with top players!
it was too difficult to get gm players that reached that rank in ow 2 and started to play in ow 2
Should do a video of Overwatch 1 stats with 6. Vs Overwatch 2 stats with 5 to see if 5v5 truly is better. Obviously removing new ow2 hero’s as their stats are based on ow2 not 1
Jay isn't wrong I watch his twitch and youtube if this dude worked on Overwatch with the new president of blizzard Overwatch would be fun
i miss top 500 sprays and like season sprays and icons and the coms so much
Hey Jay3! I think a really cool video idea would be to put masters with comms against grandmasters without comms. I’m curious to see how balanced that would be!
As an OW1 Rein main, goats was the golden age
communication is key until ur with that one group of friends...
Jay's content is the best. His ow1/ow2 takes are either copium or the classic complain-for-content 😂
I would say OW1 6v6 is where its at honestly thats what made OW so damn different an unique imo. When you have chaos everywhere that is what made it so damn fun watching OW league was fun too cant wait to see how this new pro scene goes I really hope to see big plays nothing bland.
i love the ow1 teams' vibe
Nah Jeff Kaplan needs to come back fr.
OW1 was just better in every single way. Even competitive is now a charity case
Man i miss ow1 the way we would coordinate and work together those were the best times happy i was apart of it❤
the OW2 comes are dead silent tho it's pretty accurate. I commed a lot in plat/diamond in OW1 and I feel like I always got people in voice. In OW2 the comms are dead silent I very rarely get another soul in OW2, until the game ends and someone calls us trash lmao
I think if I miss Overwatch 1 it was just for the find a group feature. I think OW2 is a good way to spend time
The biggest difference between the players is the ow1 gms have been high elo for way longer and therefore are likely to have broader skillsets. I think it was always more likely for ow1 to win this.
is this really how ow1 comms used to be?😂
Yes. And they were entertaining to watch and hear
Rank in Ow1 was much more rewarding when you won because all the players were better so you knew you deserved your rank and even while loosing, still frustrating as f and happened more frequently, youd at least get levels and hunt for loot boxes. Ow2 is such a tunnel vision since the PVE didnt work out in my opinion. It only wants us to spend money in the game rather than play to be rewarded which kept many of my friends hooked. I wish the devs kept the focus on what it already had, even if their PVE idea at the time before we knew theyd drop it sounded amazingly cool, because then the game would probably be more fun and exciting and they wouldnt have players dropping out left and right. They could likely keep the 2 tank games as well. Such a waste honestly
blizzard know 6v6 is better they just dont have the balls to admit publicly that ow2 should've never happened
best takes on overwatch holy shit
1:36 bro turned into eminem
Just a massive dps gap lol, and better coms
Just a massive everything gap. OW1 GMs were playing with their food
That ow1 Lucio was too nice with it
I’m convinced Jay gets off to voice comms off stream
Ow 1 was hella good the old star ranking system was so cool and remember loot boxes bro that was peak life
OW2 GM players will never EVER be as good as OW1 GM players
EVER
Not just skill, but mental as well
i miss the ow1 days when i could roast people for being a bad tank, dps or healer and make them swap w me and instantly cap point
