I don't really agree with the IDDQD pick for Shock, and my reason is the same one you gave for Ta1yo. The meme of him having the best K/D ratio on the team after one map has sort of kept IDDQD at least somewhat in the memory of Shock and OWL fans. In my opinion, Shock's most forgettable player HAS to be dhaK. The guy was a Lúcio legend prior to the League but became a laughing stock when placed on Mercy during the meta where she was a must-pick. The guy struggled REALLY hard on her, and after a terrible season was forgotten about completely. There are no memes around him or anything. He was there, made no impression other than frustration, got replaced and then never seen or talked about ever again.

[@justinwhite4995]

I miss dhaK. If this was modern OW style of team comps, someone there would have hired a mercy main for the meta to replace dhaK for Mercy comps. He was always a personal favorite of mine!

[@hpdynasty1736]

@@justinwhite4995 Same, actually. When I started playing OW more seriously, dhaK and DSPStanky were easily the biggest influence on my playstyle as a Lúcio player.

[@dtester]

I think it comes down to IDDQD, Nomy, and Dhak. Unfortunately for them I think Nomy and Dhak are still technically remembered for their unsuccessful Shock run. But, yeah, I can see it being a toss up.

[@dylan-uo4ob]

funnily enough he follows me on twitter lol. i’ve only got like 15 followers

[@SANinja72]

Snow did get to play one regular season map against Florida Mayhem in their last game of the season. Rise also played at least one map. He played in the famous Fragi & Bischu map.

[@SamOGr]

Hyeonu, Mandu, Highly, Guardian, Rise were the ones I actually couldn't have named, and Guardian i genuinely have 0 memory of the rest I do Been an OG since 2018 so glad i got most of them

[@anthonymayer9671]

Same bro. I started in 2019 AND was a fan of Shanghai from that season onward and I still don't remember him lol

[@CrazeeAdam]

FctFtn also is an honorable mention for Houston. While he played like 1 map every now and then. Most would forget the pretty good main tank was ever part of the team.. As Muma was still the popular tank at the time

[@justinwhite4995]

FctFtn should have had more chances! I was begging for him to be played sooo much back in the day!

[@armchairowlyst]

[@SANinja72]

I have some quizzes on Sporcle where you have to name every player who's ever been on each team, so here is the most forgotten players according to my "research" Atlanta: NLaaeR Boston: Stellar Chengdu: Jiqiren Dallas: Onigod Florida: DPI (Even lower than Sideshow lmao) Guangzhou: Rise Hangzhou: Revenge Houston: FCTFCTN London: FuZe & Schwi Gladiators: Sideshow & Panker Valiant: Slur (Provide) New York: Mandu Paris: Smex Philadelphia: Kyb San Francisco: dhaK Seoul: Highly Shanghai: GuardiaN Toronto: Asher Vancouver: Tsuna Washington: Hyeonu Thank you for coming to my TED Talk

[@CassCat69]

those sporcle quizzes were so fun, thanks for making them!

[@wowjennawow]

this is so cool, thanks for sharing!

[@floralpatterns21]

The fact that Mendo got picked up for tracer, didn't play tracer, and then we failed to make playoffs because he didn't play tracer really grinds past me's gears

[@SamOGr]

SNOW actually did play a map towards the end of the season, an oasis , cant remember vs who, but he played well on mercy, that left avast as the sole member of that squad to not play

[@SamOGr]

@@danielhopper8447 yeah that was mentioned in the video, but also every team had to play every player at least once in preseason

[@danielhopper8447]

Avast did play a game as flex support because Neko had some issues

[@duel2803]

he played brig i think to

[@c0untert0p]

Ironically, I remember Mendo on the Outlaws so well because during 2018, the Outlaws hosted a watch party at a bar in Houston and Mendo was there so I have an Outlaws hat signed by him (and only him) along with a picture of him, me and a friend of mine.

[@jamessambrook5718]

SNOW! First African in the OWL and despite not playing very much at all he was a trailblazer in that sense

[@ASandwichNinja]

Loving the content my guy! I had an idea for a video you could try if you're up for it maybe: Evaluating each rookie player from the most recent season. You could look at the expectations they had going into the year, how they performed overall and whether you think they met or surpassed the expectations or fell short. Just an idea, keep up the great content, love seeing cool ideas like this one.

[@hippoprime]

fun tidbits, some of these players are actually still active! DPI from florida just finished this last season of chinese contenders with team arslan (as a hitscan dps). FuZe from London is currently coaching one of seoul's 17 GG sister teams. Highly from Seoul just played in korean contenders with "An Elite". Onlywish moved back to playing, but his team disbanded after playing in AUS/NZ contenders. also, regarding Chipshajen, cocco said on stream that he talks with CHips now, and that he is living a quiet life in sweden.

[@Emmmiliy]

Chipshajen has said smth in his discord once that he planned to comeback and he was alive, but its been a year or two now.

[@westont3945]

I love watching this vid as a newer OWL viewer and being like "Man I can't believe I don't remember these people" like I was there at that time.

[@TheDraig]

Even with RCK being part of a trade I'd still put him as more forgotten then Chips. I'd possible even put Trill in that spot.

[@CrazeeAdam]

Trill imo is the most forgettable lol. Like how much did he even play? Like 2,, 3 games? I know he was on the team, but really didn't start much. Like I remember Chips more than Trill lol.

[@tobiasandersson666]

@@CrazeeAdam he actually started quite a few games for some weird reason even when we had better tanks

[@euancousar1106]

[@takensteak4485]

Playing do i know this guy, with the video was hilariously fun amazing video as always atp

[@genesisosuna]

Here is my top 5 Snow, Dayfly, Joemeister, daemin, verbo (honorable mentions trill, mistakes, iremiix, asher, silkthread) Imo Illicit, Wekeed, and Gambler are more forgettable than Highly. Hell, I had to think hard to remember gambler at all. Also I don't think I have to state that this is obviously my opinion so I don't care if you disagree or not.

[@Jacob-fi7ws]

I know mistakes was just an HM but I wouldn't put him there at all, especially after coming in for Kazper and had the 10-0 stage. Even if he did live in strikers shadow

[@genesisosuna]

@@Jacob-fi7ws but no one remembers mistakes from that team. Even kellex is more remembered than him.

[@SamOGr]

Silkthread has a funny story woth his name, got fined for posting a pepe on twitter, and I think Mistakes is very memorable for stepping into the boston squad when DK got banned and helped them go 10-0

[@luux2227]

That was QOQ lol they started for a little before being replaced by Bernar. He also played in the overwatch World Cup for either taiwan or Hong Kong I forget which one

[@SamOGr]

QOQ, Lige and Bernar were all off tanks on Spark at the same time, he was actually an insane player pre owl but never got the chance , its a shame but all too common storu

[@Enzu1]

I didnt even know half of these players were in the league. Then again, i didnt even know they existed lol. Good job atp!

[@justinwhite4995]

TBF most of these players were old AF or never got a good shot back in the day and their careers just died. IDDQD was just old by that time, Panker was underrated and never played, but was great at Legion. Mendo was old. Sharyk was a fun story as a player from an obscure nation, but never was good enough, Smex was old(er), Highly was cool, but Jehong was THE most important part of that team (Arguably moreso than Fissure). Ado was someone who should have been good, but he was on a dogshit team (Justice) with a tank who was never helped (Janus) and fucking GIDO, as well as Sleepy who was good but, once again, dogshit team

[@JeffBirdOfficial]

I decided to back the Shock before OWL even started because of IDDQD and I forgot about him. Good call.

[@justinwhite4995]

I feel bad for Chipsajen. He was ONE OF THE GREATEST supports before OWL, and he just fell WAY the hell off! (Yes I remember 2016 Pro Overwatch) And the same can honestly be said about a lot of the "forgotten" players. People forget them because they either didn't make it or barely made it through season 1/2.

[@coolbrotherf127]

Many of these guys I had completely forgotten about, expect the ones that I randomly remember seeing them in the 1 or 2 games they actually played.

[@JamDav]

10:42 don't forget JoeMeister as well, Avast always brings him up when talking about being perma benched lmao

[@luux2227]

I would counter the gladiators picks with my favorite player ever (we share the same name) Asher. A great tracer player and underrated widowmaker I wish he stuck around longer

[@SamOGr]

Also could've been a candidate for Defiant, but as a glads fan I remember asher as he had some very good moments

[@calebbrown7920]

I knew you were going to pick sharyk for Toronto, he got benched by the guy he was brought in to replace and that's just not great. I feel bad for him though cuz I feel like he kinda got screwed a little by Defiant. I think another honourable mention should be Asher, he was memorable on Glads but he played like one or two maps and then retired, so I think a lot of Toronto fans, even day 1 Toronto fans forget he was on the team and he didn't just play for the Glads

[@Maple_774]

A lot of these players I remember either very clearly or I've at least heard of them before but they're a forgotten memory. The big ones I do not remember much of are: Gladiators Panker Reign NLaaeR Mayhem DPI Defiant Sharyk and Valiant GrimReality I feel like I vividly remember people like Panker and Sharyk, even NLaaeR and DPI sound familiar. But GrimReality is a name I have never heard in my life.

[@kylepackard7499]

Not to throw shade but if Hyeonu's gameplay is anything like that clip, I'm not surprised he didn't play when he spent 20 seconds doing nothing but bouncing on a wall.

Also, if this list was made in a few more years, who'd be one of the forgotten players? For me, it'd probably be Ho1.
