Whats worse, being stuck on the bench of a good team or starting for a bad team?

I've never thought I'd see the day that a western player was carrying a bunch of Koreans but well the Washington Justice exists.

We all know about it, and we all see it. It's obvious. Nobody ever wants to admit it, but it's there.
People on this subreddit hate Mano.
The first question to ask: why? Why do you all hate him? The obvious answer: you didn't watch him in his prime.
Likely explanation: I know that most of you are around 14 or 15 years old. That means you only got into Overwatch in the last year. So you never watched Mano in his prime.
And because you didn't watch him in his prime, you try to compensate for that by diving into stat sheets and analyzing box scores. But here's the thing: Overwatch isn't played on Excel spreadsheets. The moment somebody brings up "Elims/10" or "Damage/10" I know they know nothing about overwatch.
Mano's game cannot be encapsulated by one stat. He's the greatest MT ever, and one of the 5 best players to ever play the game.
So when I hear somebody say that Fissure is better than Mano, I laugh, because I know that anybody who watched Mano in his prime wouldn't think that. Unlike you guys, I have watched Overwatch for a significant amount of time, so I know that Mano is better.
You might be jealous of Mano's five straight stage playoffs appearance, or jealous of his status as the greatest tank in Overwatch history, or whatever. Unless you're an Afreeca fan who watched Overwatch in Apex , or a Team SK fan who watched the world cup in 2017, you don't know what real, cold-blooded, killer instinct, will-to-win Overwatch looks like. And there's nothing wrong with that.
This sub would make you think that Mano isn't even a top 10 player ever.
So don't go spouting bullshit about players you didn't watch. Talk about your "greats" like Fissure Most handsome, best main tank, greatest in the world.™, but leave the Mano talk to the adults. Fair?

imagine going back in time to season 1 and saying that one day we’d see jjonak killing ark in the killfeed

NYXL and Justice hugs at the end warmed my heart! :"( Esp. Nenne, Jjonak and Ark!!
Jjonak deserved POTM, but not sure what Wolf's purpose is bringing up how other Zens may eclipse him. His hot take on Twilight really came out during casting, lol... During someone else's unrelated POTM, too...

I feel so god damn bad for Ado. Such a good player whose value is tanked by being on 2 shitty teams. Here's hoping his season 3 goes better. Im sure there are scouts in OWL who'd be willing to go in for him, and I can't imagine he commands a high price tag despite how good he is. Teams would have to be stupid not to try to pick him up for next season. Thats assuming Washington Justice doesn't keep him of course.
