[@sphenodon2016]

@@AdamVoidless idk, Neptuno is still easily a top 10 main support. im also a big fan of Ellivote (I don't think he was given a fair shot this year) and Daans looked pretty damn good iirc. I can't say Ive followed EU closely in quite a while but I've tried to watch some games, and Daans was in one or two I watched and I wanna say he should be able to hold his own if the team around him is solid. best case scenario tho they're still bottom 8 in the league, not sure how the league will be split but depending on that they may appear better or worse edit: upon further contemplation, depending heavily on how well rookie main supports do, Neptuno may be closer to bottom 6 (assuming out of 20), with a top 12/bottom 8 being imo the likely outcome. Neptuno does grind quite a bit though, and depending heavily on the meta (his mercy and Lucio are for sure his best heroes) he may appear top 8 or even maybe maybe top 6 in a mercy meta

As a Boston fan, I’d love to see them competitive with mid table teams, competing for play-in spots. I’d like to see them beating teams like Vancouver, Paris, London, and trading blows/close matches with teams like Houston and Atlanta, with like... decent performances against Gladiators or Florida every once in a while, just giving it the ol college try.

[@adamgenius6340]

I could see them having a shot against Florida but not against the Gladiators,their only question to me is the tank line of Muze and Space but in the worst case scenario they will be noticeably better and in the best case scenario they will be miles ahead of Boston's tank line

Benbest has improved massively but has also shown a very inflexible tank pool which I think more budget teams are trying to avoid especially since we don't know the shape of the league next season which is a long way out ie.Hero pools & patches

[@Xardian7]

As a Boston “aficionado” I would like that the team grabs NA contenders talents as Paris and London have done this off season becoming the “entrance door” for that region. I think OWL would benefit overall having these kind of teams in the league.

[@GoodVibes-qy9lp]

I agree with Bren about hitscan popping off being dependent on their team but that also applies to any role. Hitscan is still very highly valued in the league. Look at Washington who built around a hitscan player. Shockwave to Fusion (although he has a bit more flex in his pool than pure hitscan). It is a team dependent role, as every role is in ow, but hitscan also has potential to take over a game.

[@koalasquare2145]

Could you guys do a tier list of each tank line, DPS lines and Support lines?

As a Boston fan, my expectation is probably 12th-16th. Lori, to me, can do a lot for this team. Not only he has a proven track record in multiple regions, but the players he can possibly bring compared to last year where they could only sign rookies that work better with proven players rather than a full squad of unproven talent. If Boston gets the right players, they can be better than Atlanta, especially on a coaching front
