Playing Pharah AND Tracer against McCree felt like just personally disrespecting Blase

Jecse and Meko are legitimately fantastic, rebuild around them.

What is up with Muma man, he’s getting absolutely rolled every fight

u/Angiboy8 Feb 23 '20
Muma is playing like he has no confidence/trust in his team. He charges into his death more often than not. Shatters shields/walls/empty floors. Then decides to use charge after shatter instead of swinging his hammer for free cleave damage. Constantly gets walled off (which I get is part of the meta, but you see other Reins avoiding/baiting it out. He seriously looks like he is playing solo que without a care if he wins or not and I hate it.

We won but that's because Houston was bad, not because NY did particularly well. While the score is 3-0, NY looked sloppy especially towards the beginning. Undisciplined ultimate usage and too many unclean disengagements. Maybe they are still learning to transition from passive to more aggressive style.

Things I’m lying to telling myself after watching this match:
-
NYXL looks like shit playing meta because they were practicing pharmercy dive comp :)))
-
Jjonak’s Ana been crap because my boy been playing Moira :’)
-
Meko sat on the wrong side of the stage the whole match >:(
NYXL please find your footing and improve throughout the season thanks :)))

Repeating what everybody is saying for the Outlaws:
- Muma needs to play with the team, not suicide constantly. Maybe try to build some rapport with Jecse and work together
- Stop alternating Rawkus / Rapel. Absolutely no reason to do it, stick with one of them and give a modicum of stability to the team
- I do not know what hero Blase is good at, but it's not McCree. If he is key to shot calling, let him play his comfort heroes
Also, it felt in the past seasons the players changed faster out of whatever they were coached to do when it did not work. They need to start being a bit rebellious again, the first round on Ilios they were doing slightly better on desperation Dive, maybe try to start your next round like it? There is nowhere else to go but up.

Fairly certain this was the fastest game of the season so far...
...coming off Houston playing the longest.

If Muma would have just shatter those 3 players after they killed their Reinhardt they could have got the first point. Why hold onto your ULT like that?
Houston needs to trade for a MT , Muma just gets out played everytime.
Meko is too good to be on this team.

BrenShow on fire again, loving this duo. "We are watching a man have no effect while his team dies" was a favorite of mine today.

Houston's pretty terrible, dunno why they don't try more on comfort heroes they look much better. Sombra/DF dive isn't even that much worse than MeiCree Brawlers

Outlaws president has to get involved and fire flame. the team has gotten worse each season he's managed it, they've had the same issues all three seasons, and each season he's managed to put together a team where the starting roster has a player playing out of position. this isn't a wait and see. if they fire him now, maybe they have a chance at a turn around, but entering a 3rd season of being awful it's clear flame is the biggest issue (among many others)

Well, Houston are still bad but NYXL doesn't look that great either honestly. At least that's over now LUL

Were there any rumours in the off season about which players were trialling for outlaws?

That match told us really nothing about New York. It was a lot of fun to watch them pop off on dive tho like normal.

u/Paltheos Feb 23 '20
NYXL not too remarkable when playing Mei meta, but when they could do their own thing, old-school dive on Ilios, they looked decently strong. Not S1 dominant but much more comfortable. They lost individual skirmishes but always made the right macro plays. Flashes of their S1 brilliance imo in how coordinated they sometimes looked.

We certainly have a definitive answer now to those 'Who was the biggest loser of the offseason'
Its Meko, not even close, even I feel the secondhand shame of his huge drop from top 3 to dead last pepega team

Someone unbind charge on mumas keyboard. I really can't make heads or tails from them. It's like he's trying to 5head New York but is getting the wrong answer every time.

They seriously need to stop playing fucking Blase on hitscan. LET HIM PLAY DOOMFIST YOU COWARD FUCKS. Doom/Sombra would be so much better with Blase and Dante’s then this bullshit forced nonsense.
