I guarantee you learned something new in this video. This has been a research project in the making for 8+ months. Hero knockerbacker FAQs will be edited below soon. Q: What about Echo? A: Her sticky bombs can cancel kill credit and count as a knockerbacker. Q: Could Genji's double jump negate the kill credit for knockerbackers? A: Nope, double jump and wall climb do not negate knockerbackers for both Genji/Hanzo. Q: Doesnt Sigmas primary fire also give slight knockback? as such you could use primary to selfdamage instead of the rock throw? A: In theory yes, but it's unreliable since the orbs always bounce and ricochet around. After testing I did not manage to find a single angle for the orbs to self damage me reliably against the wall so the rock is always the easier and safer option. Q: 1:24 Uh, I thought shields like Zar/Zen/Sym/DF/Ball/Beat didn't give you ult charge? A: The only one that doesn't is Ball's temporary shields. Zar/Zen/Sym/Df/Lucio beat ALL give ult charge equivalent Q: Junks nade can also boop people and let them walk a bit and then jump and give kill to junk. Same as Zaryas RMB.? A: Junk nades and Pharah primary could in theory get a low-ground non elevation boop to allow a walk off kill credit, but in my testing I was only able to do this with Soldier's Helix and Zarya RMB (hence the half coloured graphic). I could NOT for the life of me get the correct boop angle with Junk nade/Pharah primary so I didn't include it since it isn't reliable.
Tabish Baraskar | In reality when a slept enemy is in air you can shoot him and don’t wake him up. In fact, that time when you can hit a enemy when he starts to sleep, is because if you see closely the enemy who is been slept does a tiny jump. Edit: Jasper Geypens | Now, that is what I call a pro gamer move!
If I remember correctly, the reason Pharah's concussive blast grants the knockerbacker cancel is because she *does* do damage to herself with it, only the damage is set to 0. This is seen on Phara's hud when you use it, by indicating that you're taking damage from a certain direction.
First "Not everyone...but I check them all." Then, we learn it took "EIGHT MONTHS" to do this. Yo, KarQ. I'm not sure we deserve you. Haha. Thank you for the good intel.
ngl i didn't expect to watch all of this i thought most of it was going to be stuff i already knew but damn alot of this was totally new and i did end up watching till the end. Nice job outdoing my expectations.
Great video. I'm only subscribed to you for about 2 months or so, but I've already learned so much from it. This must have taken so much time to investigate and test, test, test. Thanks a lot for doing all that, and making this video! EDIT: I actually see the 100+ hours and 8+ months in the making now in the comments/video description. You know, I think I'm gotta favorite this video and look again later at all the things to remember during actual play, especially how to deny ult-charge for my enemies. Keep up the great work!
A little late, I know, but I just wanted to point out something at 14:31. I've noticed that although Tracer's pulse bomb is very short, she can technically still build ult charge as soon as it leaves her hand, not after it goes off. So if you sticky someone and there's no one else to shoot in that moment, shoot whoever you just stuck to help build towards your next pulse and use the stick as more of a confirmation on the kill without having to dive into them further.
Sometimes if you boop mini dva her death scream bugs out and she ends up sounding like a hentai chick having a mad orgasm lmao … 10/10 an intended feature
I got to say, you probably edited, rendered, gone to clips of overwatch (to find an example for the video) and I mean, everything, the whole video was perfect! thanks for making this! takes probably a long time, but our support will keeping coming back to you! so thank you for the tips videos, I've been watching you for... over a year? and I got to say, you make amazing content, so keep it up man! love you
I honestly want to thank KarQ i started to play pretty recently and i’ve loved the videos and they helped me a bunch best overwatch youtuber if you need tips
Honestly this was a a very interesting video. I always appreciate it when content creators can dive into a game's code and show examples of it in game, without ever actually seeing the code itself.
Dude, you are such a hardworking youtuber. I’m commenting to let you know how awesome this video was and that I’ll definitely add “smacking suiciding enemies” to my battle Mercy strategies.
I was playing Lucio on eichenwalde, and I was riding on the bridge. The enemy rein shattered and my wall ride got cancelled, and I fell off the side. On the kill feed it said rein killed me with a shatter and a fall
That’s normal he didn’t get ult charge because it doesn’t work for rein as he said the fall icon means his kill was made by a guy falling of the map and shatter icon is because he shattered you before you fell
This is actually a super good idea. I've been playing overwatch almost a year but still struggle with some callouts because I don't know the general agreement on what areas or abilities are called for short.
Karq is the best information Overwatch TH-camr and streamer the community has. Also Karq I was wondering what you think of Ligma and if you think he’s a main tank or off. I think he’s main tank but a great off tank too.
Man the info in this video definitely is great and it shows through the hours of research. Good stuff and things to remember. I never realized the amount of ult energy you get for environmental kills. Looks like a lot of emp boop specials are going to be served on Nepal hahahaha
Good job mate. Hope you continue with this content!! Congrats on the work. 8 months ? dammm. Hope to see more vids like thanks Thanks for the content !
13:33 pharah count as a self damaging knocback because when Overwatch first came out actually it had damage (and self damage) but Blizzard was too lazy to fix it after the change in Pharah so it is still coded Like that
2:29? Zarya is wrong since the enemy falls off after the ability ends it gives you ult charge. Unless it gives you credit if they escape the grav early but fall off the map so it gives you kill but no charge?
So at 12:29 you said the Ashe didn't get ult charge because you hit a ledge, apparently changing your elevation When you were talking about Ashe's ultimate and Bob knocking enemies up in the air at 06:00 you said if Bob knocked them up with his knockup it counted as an elimination, but in that clip (still 06:00) you can clearly see Roadhog hitting a ledge before falling off, similair like you did. Did that just not count as a change in elevation or is it an inconsistency?
This is a good question. Sometimes during testing if someone was knocked up and they landed on the ground but immediately fell off I'd get the kill credit. My theory is that the game didn't register it as a "change in elevation" since I was still in motion during the fall which is why I tink the bob knockup needs the enemy to fall in one motion. I think it's an inconsistency though because in the brig sleep clip I fell in one motion essentially. I'll do more research and try to clarify
@@KarQ Maybe if we tested the same scenarios 5 times (so it can't end up with 3-3, getting the killcount or not) on different ledges in Route 66 to see how inconsistent it is and if the ledges that do count the kill and those who don't have any similarities. Maybe a long shot but I feel like it's worth a try
Thanks a million man, awesome! 😀 And there I was worrying, that after each (great btw) hero tips videos you may have a hard time to find content of that level. Man I glad I was wrong 😀 And once again, thanks for awesome research and sharing those tips with us! 😉

Are you still with Toronto defiant?
Actually i assume yes

i was wondering why didnt that coach gun wake him up?
@@Baraskar_Tabish I'm not sure if it does damage, just has a movement ability. I think. Don't quote me hahah
@@Baraskar_Tabish There's a small window of time after the sleep that the person slept can take damage but won't wake up.
Tabish Baraskar | In reality when a slept enemy is in air you can shoot him and don’t wake him up. In fact, that time when you can hit a enemy when he starts to sleep, is because if you see closely the enemy who is been slept does a tiny jump.

@@KarQ one OW2 release later
Karq pls do a video where you cover reworked abilities that u made tips on for heroes that were changed eg. Hanzo's sonic arrow
I'm going to reproduce all the 1 TIP for EVERY HERO videos in 1 long ass 6+ hour video with all updates in it by the end of this year :D
Sonic arrow got changed?
@@cloudy0712 Sonic Arrow replaced Scatter Arrow.
Edit: I mixed up Sonic Arrow with Storm Arrow, sorry.
@@cloudy0712 wait i thought it's storm arrow
Actually, the hanzo one rn has storm arrow hanzo tips, not scatter hanzo tips.
Sonic arrow is the wall hacks.

The clip of the Winston who got 70% of his next primal was insane
First "Not everyone...but I check them all."

favorite part of the video: "...Half a Torbjorn high." lol gonna start using that as a form of measurement
The dedication put into this is ridiculous!! Great job !

Professor Sigma’s New Measurement
Tracer Blinks=Distance
Roadhog=Health Points
Height:Half Torbjorn
Dude, you are such a hardworking youtuber. I’m commenting to let you know how awesome this video was and that I’ll definitely add “smacking suiciding enemies” to my battle Mercy strategies.
great video dude!! i'm keeping my fingers crossed for a Sigma tip video
Amazing job! Great to see how you're always finding really cool tips for everyone
I was playing Lucio on eichenwalde, and I was riding on the bridge. The enemy rein shattered and my wall ride got cancelled, and I fell off the side. On the kill feed it said rein killed me with a shatter and a fall
That’s normal he didn’t get ult charge because it doesn’t work for rein as he said the fall icon means his kill was made by a guy falling of the map and shatter icon is because he shattered you before you fell
It’s absolutely nuts how much time and effort you put in to make this video, fantastic job my guy.
Thank CHRIST Brig doesn’t do knockback with every flail
Awesome job as always Karq!!!!! A lot of tests, precisely information and tips! Thanks for mythbusting those things!
I should make a relevant comment, but Propeller Knight’s stage theme is just so good!
I could only imagine the annoyance of having brigittes swing doing tiny knockbacks against you when you are trying to run around
Rein does it. Yeah, it's annoying, but at least it's not a broken hero.
The 1 dislike was from Chipsa getting booped by lucios
@@Sami_T ChipSa made like 8 accounts probably
Thank you so much for always taking the time to create high quality tutorials! You are definitely my favourite youtuber.
KarQ #1 OW TH-camr
this vid was rly good. The winston one with Yakpung felt a bit rushed so it was a relief to have such a great vid. Thanks Karq
“Half a torbjorn’s height”
*metric system memes intensify*
Great vid, great quality, great TH-camr.
Thank you for this vid! Really helpful!
Can u do a vid for all pro call outs for maps and hero abilities? 😊
This is actually a super good idea. I've been playing overwatch almost a year but still struggle with some callouts because I don't know the general agreement on what areas or abilities are called for short.
Good work man!
When the game is so hard that even falling needs to be made correctly
10:34 How sad that the Winston transformed back and gave you ult charge for 500hp instead of 1000hp which would give you instant nano
What if an enemy is frozen by Blizzard as they fall off the map, and Blizzard ends before they die? Would you get ult charge???
Nope. Blizzard freeze for some reason has no affect on ult charge. I tested a bunch of scenarios with it
I love this style of video. Some really interesting findings! Thanks for the hard work and research.
I’ve been playing Winston since launch and I never knew using jump pack boops when you leap
watching roadhogs jumping off cliffs is silly and satisfying
Who else is ready for another amazing KarQ video?
KarQ deserves more views for videos and subscribers!! This is very informative, like a tutor explaining things in an easy way 😁
"Lucio no soundwave" lmao
15:57 the rein was riding 😂
Also Sadly widomaker doesn’t get ult charge during her ult
Thanks Karq for the work i was wondering about The environmental mechanics so you made it short and easy Thank You.
So early that i cant read funny comments.
But you can read your one
@@Pvrge. yeah haha
Karq is the best information Overwatch TH-camr and streamer the community has. Also Karq I was wondering what you think of Ligma and if you think he’s a main tank or off. I think he’s main tank but a great off tank too.
Also can you give us a hint on who’s going to do the One Tip for Ligma against every hero.

Thank you for the amazing work to create this video! It's definitely game-changing even for experienced players!
I like the new thumbnail style👍
All the work you put into this definitely does not go unappreciated. Keep it up🤙
Nj man its inpressive that you keep coming up with new videos
Thanks for making these man, I love them !
13:08 Sigma's primary fire also counts as self-knockback, there was a clip on reddit about it recently
Very informative and well explained video KarQ, thanks a lot for your hard work!
Always love what you do. Thanks man!
What a great video ! Thanks for doing all the work !!!
Best OW educational content on the Tube. Thanks, KarQ!
12:52 note- I'm pretty sure that D.Va's micro missiles also deal damage to her because one time in gameplay I killed my on mech with splash damage.
Thanks for the work done, I really like your videos!

13:33 pharah count as a self damaging knocback because when Overwatch first came out actually it had damage (and self damage) but Blizzard was too lazy to fix it after the change in Pharah so it is still coded Like that
14:40 Hanzo also get ult charge when his dragons are out and he shoots.
This is the best too-technical guide to anything in this game I've come across. Awesome!
Got to love the shovel knight music in the background
2:29? Zarya is wrong since the enemy falls off after the ability ends it gives you ult charge. Unless it gives you credit if they escape the grav early but fall off the map so it gives you kill but no charge?
WOW, great work. very much appreciate your commitment
The Knockerbacker Height elevation threshold is about *HALF A TORBJ*
Now thats some solid unit of mesure
thank you so much for the amazing content karQ
13:03 wouldn't sigma's primary fire count too? they are a knockback and self-damaging
Yes but it's almost impossible to self damage yourself while falling since it bounces so far and won't explode on yourself
11:01 just for this clip ill pop a like the amount of dedication for you to recreate it and not just say it is amazing !
So at 12:29 you said the Ashe didn't get ult charge because you hit a ledge, apparently changing your elevation
When you were talking about Ashe's ultimate and Bob knocking enemies up in the air at 06:00 you said if Bob knocked them up with his knockup it counted as an elimination, but in that clip (still 06:00) you can clearly see Roadhog hitting a ledge before falling off, similair like you did.

I like this kind of content. Very informative. Great job
I have so much respect for u dude, all ur videos are so helpful.
What about a dragon blade deflecting a knockerbacker. Would that give you ult charge?
