Lol even awkward says tank players are mental when they still play the role after getting hit with every cooldown in the game. Probably cause it's true.

[@stevehouser7482]

He also said I'm going to swap to zarya just because I want to win but didn't win, so you know.....

[@PersianPlatypus]

As a Masters Doom OTP, watching Awkward struggle against not only Plat players, but map geometry, and the hero itself, brings me so much life.

[@Htiy]

The hero legit makes No sense when you first try him. I fell from masters dva otp to gold/plat doom when I started one tricking him

[@thegoodlord9914]

Yeah lol being bad at doom is pretty much throwing you gotta learn as fast as possible so it doesnt drive you crazy

[@ronaldmascoll]

Doomfist unranked to GM coming when???

[@JoeffereySumpkins]

Wdym Awkward was looking like a top 500... ,000 Doomfist on King's Row there

[@raciawelli]

after rework probably xD

[@eisenkrahe7125]

We going to the Psych Ward with this one 🗣🗣🗣

[@nooptiui]

i don’t think he’s getting out of diamond 😭

[@solidforge2016]

15:43 the reason you're beaming and the Dva receives no damage is because in Plat, the Kiriko and Moira only know how to hard pocket their tank, so a fully charged Zarya can beam down Dva and not damage more than she is healed. Additionally, you can't expect your 4 Plat teammates to do anything against anyone even when you are fullying tying up the resources of 3 people because your team will just die to the enemy DPS anyway. Unfortunately you can't always carry a bad team.

[@dadon0133]

Yea. Some are soo bad its impossible. I still try tho

[@oredaxmc2871]

As a doom player it is nice to see that even Awkward recognizes the struggles of tank while playing doom. Other streamers see players like ZBRA and then automatically assume all other doom players are wrong and whiny when it comes to criticizing the balancing of their hero.

[@ArcNine9Angel]

48:50 Would LOVE to watch Awkward play Elden Ring. I think he'd actually enjoy it despite being single-player.

[@Ropewatch]

Rolling rolling rolling. They attack I roll. I see an opportunity I break their stance. -Awkward if he was an Elden Ring player

[@paperclip4200]

Today we learned how balanced Suzu is

[@deolly]

@@jamhthidd-197it is, the other person said it’s nothing because they have crappy WiFi but it’s definitely a little laggy.

try 180

[@danielpineres7254]

My ping does not go down from 180. 100 is a blessing

[@ezrawilliam6710]

As a doom main I agree. Something is wrong with me. To win on doom you gotta go as fast as possible. To stagnate is to die.

[@axel_r_]

32:48 When playing Cas in Season 11 and forgetting the rework of the Flashbang 😅

[@RealSlxzz]

today we learned do not play tank at all

[@j.r.6271]

Tank is generally miserable, but sometime you get those amazing games where you just slay, too, so... I went 17-0 as Rein on a Havana round yesterday, was awesome.

[@jackshaw3475]

I’m a tank player and I’LL HAVE YOU KNOW THE ANTIDEPRESSANTS MAKE THE ROLE ONLY SLIGHTLY MORE ENJOYABLE.

its just his mechanics are good and that translates to other characters

[@TSGC16]

@@bradenthegreat111 Yea man he has top tier mechanics on Moira and Brigitte. his aim is crazy on those heroes

[@lamarpalmer25]

Tanks are busted so people counter swap to deal with them. Simple concept. They just need to make a new dps passive to deal with all cc.

[@ClipsInc.]

so many horrible sombra noobs. most unfun hero by far

[@CyDoTooMuch]

The existence of suzu makes me hate tank so much. Not to mention the debuffs that can happen on one character 😭 why am I getting discorded, hacked, and anti’d

[@JhonnyStone100]

7:19 literally this is how it goes playing tank/dps in high level lobbies. it’s so hard

[@Seissmo]

Awkward Doomfist?! Oh hell yeah. 7:31 😂 8:56 How is that not a cancel?! 12:02 That Kiri is pissed. 13:18

[@Klyttorius]

"I dont feel like I'm playing bad, I think I'm playing good. But i don't feel like I'm doing anything." That's tank in 5 v 5. You can hard carry and lose. Output air all game long and win. The role is technically extremely important on paper yet in practice, often is cosmetic. Or feels that way. Funny to see *you* play counterwatch in this game though.

[@gregorymud1477]

It's not cosmetic. If you paying bad on tank - you lose. If you playing great on tank - probably you're gonna win (if your team is good enough)

[@Klyttorius]

@@gregorymud1477 Somewhat true. But you can play great and lose just as much as you play great and win. You can play poor and win as much as you play poor and lose. I flex all roles and can carry much easier on dps and especially support. Tank is crud. No matter what I do barely impacts winrate. I've also seen other high ranked streamers share the same observation particularly for tank.

[@elevaturr6394]

@@gregorymud1477DPS passive has made it so that if your DPS is getting gapped you automatically lose. The days of hard carrying on tank are long gone

[@fergusgraem3625]

The CoPPo guy who said to report his team didnt realize he was the worst player of his team 😂

[@Klyttorius]

Double the deaths as the next top deaths is some serious delusion if he thinks it's his teams fault xD

[@j.r.6271]

It's always the worst players that talk the most trash.

[@thedone1342]

It sucks being a doom main in ow2 😭 life grip ,suzu, hack it’s crazy

[@sith6375]

i feel the exact same way whenever i try to play tank lol

[@AntivenomOW]

Finally playing Doomfist? Oh my god, it‘s happening!

[@lordbasketboi9998]

Is it just me or when u click an ability like recall or tranquility before getting shot it just doesnt come out?

[@leroyroberts8112]

Jokes on you awkward, Something is wrong with my brain and you made it this way with your content. I'll always be a tank main

[@dequanndillard7932]

Tbh awkward your unranked to gm on ball made my inspired me to main the character lol. Maybe I am mental lol but haven't looked back. Character is super fun.

[@JhonnyStone100]

Why does the game audio sound so weird

[@dequanndillard7932]

Whats you stance on 6v6 or 5v5 awkward?
