40 UNWRITTEN RULES of OVERWATCH

[@KarQ]

You got anymore "unwritten' rules to add? I'm lookin for some funny ones. Also thank you to the sponsor of today's video - download Opera GX for your computer and mobile for free: mtchm.de/5i8dp. Thank you for supporting the channel 🙏

[@chevystraightpipe1762]

Unwritten rule: Don't tell someone to switch heroes without recommending another hero for them to play. It's annoying when someone tells you to switch off a hero and then Dono Walls you.

[@tbnrrenagade9507]

unwritten rules: Lucio isn't bad just cause they're Lucio, they're bad because they're not a reddit Lucio. If in doubt, pick Mccree. Always, Always, help your teammates spawncamp. Never argue with the Zen with gold damage. Sub to KarQ immediately. If the enemy run Bastion, yell at your DPS until they play a counter because it's their fault you're dying. If you have bastion on attack not on a payload map, you're screwed. On Illios well, play characters with boop abilities; respect the fuhnieh map. Stop running Hog-D.va. As Genji, always spam "I need healing" when you're only missing 1hp (to fulfil the meme). If someone on the enemy team says that you're gay for saying "GLHF", play flanking Bastion. Widow is only bad if they have less than ten kills at the end of a game. Nano-Rein is NOT countered by Brig. Junkertown sucks, make sure to throw because of that. Always remember that B.O.B will die in two seconds if the enemy have: Bastion, Sombra, Zen, B.O.B, Echo, or D.va. Sigma is not as good as you think without Rein. If you have gold healing as Hog, then your supports are the problem. Never, Never, interrupt a sniper duel.

[@negare6647]

If you're shooting the enemy and you both keep whiffing your shots: stand still, look them in the eye, say "Hello" and walk away from the interaction. Never talk about that interaction ever again.

People really don't understand this. If you're playing main tank and don't act like you're better than your opponent you're not gonna win. On rein especially

[@fizzlock]

Another Rule: DON'T wake a sleeping Nano-Boost unless you are 100% certain you can kill them. This especially applies to Nano-Winstons with Primal ready

Some of my own: - Always thank your healers when they heal you - Endorse decent healers and tanks (dps that carry games get some priority after these two lol)

[@simply_pet]

You shouldn't need to thank healers for doing the most basic part of their job tho, I say this as a healer main.

[@MrAnoymousBoss123]

@@simply_pet yeah, as a healer i really only kinda want one when i save someone (like, getting the pop up). i dont need it for crossfading on lucio for like 10 seconds

[@DodgeThatAttack]

i generally say thanks any time someone buffs me or saves my life, just good manners and i always endorse people who genuinely helped the team, not just ran around gathering as many kills as possible. generally, if I noticed your involvement in a game, youre probably doing something right (or really wrong).

[@dan13jb]

It always makes me feel happy when I get a 'Thanks!' pop up after making a clutch heal/res/lamp/sleep play. They're my play of the game moments as a support.

[@DirtyCiv]

probably the most important rule of all that you missed, is: LOOK AT WHAT HEALERS YOU HAVE, AND PLAY AROUND THEIR RANGE/LOS/POSITION. don't be that guy that dies spamming i need healing, while never actually knowing where your healers were the whole time.

I never leave spawn without my team, unless they're ahead of me

[@epiczerozz3003]

One that I like to do as support is let the team know when they're down one (or both) supports, in case they don't check the kill feed. Calls like "you only have Lucio heals for a bit" or "both heals are down" helps people make more informed decisions imo

[@thenastyfridge]

Agreed - I always use the voicelines "I'm sorry" followed by "I'm on my way" to indicate that I just died, followed by more "On my way" when I respawn and whenever someone looks like in desperate need of healing while I'm still coming back from spawn.

[@bugzruul]

YES i will always make note of it and endorse them at the end, or when they need healing so they back into a position for GA instead of just spamming the heal chat

[@thebananas6483]

It helps when the Mercy actually communicates that they're falling. In the middle of a team fight, or even just a poke battle, I'm not gonna be turning around a whole lot, so I usually don't even know it's happening unless I'm told as such.

[@brolacoleo1619]

A fellow movement player??

[@jolteon345]

If I’m on any tank that’s not Orisa/Hog/Sig I’ll wait the extra 2-3 seconds for my Mercy to respawn and turn around to face spawn to acknowledge “Yes I see you there”. As for those 3, I’ll wait closer to the fight as incase I need to hop into it. 9/10 it’s more worth it to charge out of spawn with Mercy on you and contest with her vs charging onto point and dying cause she’s 3 seconds behind you.

[@Flunksqk]

I always pick up mercy as pharah, sadly sometimes they just ignore me in the air and slowly walk back even tho I'm spamming commands to make her aware of my positioning.

[@jolteon345]

@@Flunksqk Depending on your SR, the Mercy’s SR, and how often they play Mercy, there’s a good chance it’s just sensory overload from seeing at least half the team, if not everyone, critical. I’ve noticed that for the most part, the lower the SR of the Mercy (or tank for a Lucio taxi), the more likely they are to ignore the taxi if it’s not already someone that’s supposed to be in the center of their screen to take whatever route they think will be faster

[@mimthyss]

As someone who plays mercy quite a lot, yeah, usually most people just walk off around corners/walls/objects/just don't even wait those 2 seconds to be in GA range and it's so frustrating xD I'm always so pleasantly surprised by people who help taxi back!

[@emma5909]

i use "one" when they are less than 25% hp probably and i use "absolute" for when they are literally one hit

[@flyingfish3930]

When playing rein in qp, never shatter without him being in it. You gotta get that rein diff somehow

[@stevenseufert2520]

Unless you're using it to cancel an enemy ult, like Dragonblade or something. That's an acceptable exception. Otherwise, absolutely correct.

[@dadaniel2k11]

Use deadeye to reload exclusively. Addendum: If you intend to use it to kill someone it is mandatory to die while or after ulting. Addendum applies to rocket barrage as a rule by itself.

[@Spockston]

When you and an enemy Rein are both shielding, you must both say "Hello" or get firestruck.

[@undead_lynx]

3:16 had a team do this for me when everyone on my team left cuz we got rolled, trust me it's literally the best feeling in the world. I also got 1v1s with an enemy widow another time while their team watched and encouraged us. It's absolutely amazing 💞

Unwritten Rule: If your supports call out a Tracer living in your backline and ask for a DPS swap, just swap to Torb/Cassidy and play with them without trying to blame the other DPS.

If you are Rein and have ult and the enemy tank is also a Rein it’s mandatory for both to meet in the middle of the map, dance a little and try to make the other Rein pop ult first. You’ll know if the Enemy Rein will have their ult it’s second nature.

Note on 26 - DO NOT LEAVE insane thing that is somehow still a bug in this game: If you leave after the timer tells you you can, you get reduced SR gains for the next few matches. This has happened to me personally as recently as December of last year (I got 3 SR for the next game I won) and I have seen no patches indicating its been fixed. If you care about your SR, do NOT leave.

"Any game is winnable" this is absolutely true. One time my team was longing 99 to 50 in control and in the last minute we pulled off an amazing clutch where our team never let go of the control point. Overtime and keeping the enemy team out of the point was key. Even if we didn't kill them. It was just as good for them to stay away.

[@BeakerSteve]

Sombra unwritten rules from personal experience and watching FITZY: 1) If you are lower ranks and you are losing, always blame Sombra (even if somehow they have gold medals) 2) Always solo ult the Sigma ult 3) Spawn camping Zen is a must 4) When approaching a scoping Widow while in invisibility, use the 'Boop' or 'Youre not alone in here' voice line to scare the shart out of them 5) Always ask for the nano... Sombra's nanoed SMG sound is the most underrated part of the game

[@TheKampfmaschine]

As a main tank main, supports are my best friends and personal heroes. I always pick up my Mercy from spawn/wait for her if she died after me I always try to shield dead teammates, if the situation allows it, so my Mercy can ga to me and rez safely 2 of my 3 endorsements automatically go to my supports (unless they gave me a good reason not to) "good teammate" or "shotcaller" only, supports also get my vote for the end cards. If my support picks Lucio and speeds me around the map the entire game as Rein, that's a guaranteed shotcaller endorsement, the highest reward I can give. (Seriously, thank you!) If anyone flames my supports in vc for not healing enough I'll speak up to defend them if needed I always thank my supports for healing and saving me If possible I stand still so Ana or Bap can heal me more easily (I'm on console, low plat. So aim isn't always that good on moving targets) Thank you, dear support mains. I love and appreciate you.

[@endless_del]

from one support player to others, thank your dps and tanks when they help with flankers or protect you in other ways (especially during rez). if you wanna be thanked for doing your job, make sure you thank others for doing their jobs too!

[@JayEmPlays]

Something I'd like to call "bordershaming". Just because you're not playing with at least 3 different account because you can't boost your friends on main, or are just too scared to take a dive with MMR, doesn't give the right to call out if someone with a diamond border is stuck to certain rank or plays like trash. Or call them virgin for having grinded a single account, some people are somewhat sensitive about it. In general smurfing is something that is a problem, but since Blizzard loves money from all the extra accounts (and even pro gamers romanticize it), they won't do anything. But that's a topic for another video. They really should do it like Dota does, no registered phone number, no competitive.

[@lesarchivesdeval8477]

My awards for some the rules you presented : "I do a saner version of this rule" Award goes to rule 40 : Always say "gg" in game chat at the end of the game. If the game was a fair one, it's sportsmanship. If the enemy team had a cheater who has been called out during the game and you lost because of them, it's sarcastic and they will bear the shame on their consciousness. "That hits too close to home" Award goes to rule 29 : I really have a friend who mains D.Va and spams "I need healing" 60 seconds a minute when in game. "I disagree with this" Award goes to rule 24 : Respect the POTG, regardless of who made it. "Don't do a variant of this rule" Award goes to rule 19 : If you're in voice chat for a large portion of the game, it's not okay to talk ONLY to flame your teammates. You have a mic, might as well use it for making constructive calls.

[@metalmonster9536]

Similar to Widows saying hi to each other, Reins must always say hi to enemy Rein if they meet before team fights. We know who's carrying the team...

This actually gave me a little more confidence when it comes to getting into the game. I thought about picking up overwatch for a while now and ended up picking it up on sale yesterday. I have yet to start it up because I’ve been a little nervous about not knowing how to communicate or some of the basic do’s and don’t’s.

[@RavenDarknyte]

honestly the top tip is ctrl+shift+c. hides the chat in case people are spamming pings, being toxic, or you just dont wanna look at it. i also recommend turning subtitles on (not for the voice lines/interactions unless you care about that sort of thing; personally i love it when i see a rare character interaction in spawn that i mightve missed over some other noise). I've had subtitles pick up heroes that i or my team couldnt have seen/didnt hear and catch flankers or scout enemy team picks when they're setting up defense. it's a generally pretty chill playerbase, and unless you're actually suddenly a god at the game theyre probably not gonna accuse you of smurfing, and a lot of seasoned players might even offer pointers to help you play a hero better.

[@vortexsuperion2612]

bonus rule: Remember to stagger, its really important.

[@return3116]

Another rule: When your at the top door for attacking on Gibraltar always say “it’s a 5k play” after u walk out of the door.

[@aka_Lazer]

3:04 If im on hog I like to sit on the teammate to block the few stray damage they might take. Always get a laugh if they use a thank you voice line in response. 7:00 Or if you're just weak after a team fight has won, let your healers get the healing so avoid self healing (if applicable) or getting health packs. My support duo says ball players are the worst at this, team fights already won and over, they're low and roll around at mac 10 and pick up all the packs or go back to spawn for healing instead of giving it to their healers. Goes for other supports as well, if you have your ult already, give the healing to your other support. And I'll add my own, even though I don't think its an unwritten rule (it should be). If you're playing comp you shouldn't give up before the games over. The game isn't over until the screen says either victory or defeat. Stalls and comebacks can and do happen, you never know what might have happened if you didn't afk in spawn for the last portion of the match. Maybe one of your teammates touches and stalls for a bit, which would've put you in position to stall too had you not afked in spawn. Maybe that time could've been enough for a support ult that turns the fight etc.
