How To Play Multi-DPS vs. GOATS ft. Chengdu Hunters | Behind The Akshon

One of the defining features of the Chengdu Hunters since their debut in the Overwatch League has been their team composition creativity and willingness to experiment with DPS-centric strategies at a time when the meta on most maps favor Tank-Support (3-3, GOATS) strategies.
Unsurprisingly, not all of the tactics in the Hunters' playbook have been successful, but when they do manage to work out, viewers are given quite the spectacle and a temporary reprieve from the 3-3 meta.
In today's video, we take a look at ways in which the Chengdu Hunters employ the use of DPS heroes to varying levels of success and provide some insight into this innovative team.
The Chengdu Hunters roster is as follows:
- Chunting "Kyo" Kong (Support)
- Li "Garry" Guan (Support)
- Xianyao "Yveltal" Li (Support)
- Wenjie "Elsa" Luo (Flex)
- Tianbin "LateYoung" Ma (Flex)
- Menghan "Ameng" Ding (Tank)
- Yansong "Jiqiren" Wei (Tank)
- Tzu-Heng "Baconjack" Lo (DPS)
- Hu "JinMu" Yi (DPS)
- Zhihao "YangXiaoLong" Zhang (DPS)

[@Akshonesports]

Everyone has their own idea of what would be the most interesting or viable team comp in upcoming stages. With the current meta being what fans consider "overplayed" and boring to watch, what do you think the league should do to get rid of GOATS?

[@nathanyakich3152]

I don't think they can get rid of GOATS. It's a permanent addition as long as Brig is strong imo. What would be nice is an incentive to play DPS, like bonus points to your score for playing a DPS for every round. Because honestly 6 DPS vs 6 DPS is way better than two 3-3s bashing each other for 60 minutes

[@musik-ym8rk]

they should add stormquake as a team even though they dont exist anymore but these guys were hella creative

[@raistlinqq9868]

redo Brigt, so simple but Geoff just can't admit it

[@kierancalverley220]

I don't think the league would make any drastic change to their structure as it would be too risky. I think that further nerfs to the key heroes will eventually open opportunities to play different comps.

[@ayylmao539]

@@zandromex8985 at least it required plays to happen. A really good Miro tesla cannon usage. Talespin and chipsajin pharmercy combo. Sick surefour soldier/mccree hitscan aim. Ryujehong playing Ana while his team goes ham across the map. Taimo playing roadhog. The dive meta had counters on defense. It had to have sick genji or tracer player to work. Now, it's just pressing w and using q better wins you fights, everyone plays the same heroes. No body is unique and makes you go "if this player pops off, they win this map" Blizzards needs to know that crippling every hero to be balanced, would just make the meta shift towards the abilities that work together. Zarya+rien was always a good combo, but Zarya worked in dive too, or a rush down comb paired with hanzo and roadhog. Nerfing more than buffing stifles the creativity and options they can take. Hunters proved that the game has enough diversity for other than goats strategy to be viable, if just Blizzards didn't like cc so much and Nerfing everything to the ground. Name 3 characters beside Torb, sym, and diva that used to be wewker in previous patches but now they are stronger now. Teamwork became too strong in this game imo. No counter play whatsoever. I remember the riverly between C9(with rever and Adam) and envyus(with talespin and internet hulk RIP). That mechanical play was insane. We go close to that in Apex season 2 with luminous high. We're never getting that excitement again exempting from widowmaker plays. It's all bunker comb and goats pressing w and q and steam rolling the other team because they've got better timings on hitting their abilities in the first fight. Kept watching all of these games, and I can't remember them as well as I remember overwatch 2016. Don't tell me that shit was boring compared to this crap that no body bother complaining about cause they moved on. The numbers tell. This game outside of esports is going downhill.

Small reminder: Hunter's coach is the coach of 2018 OWWC Team China, which destroyed coach Jayne and his Team Canada, ended up the 2nd place. Leave, who was the flex player in the startup of team CN, will turn 18 at the end of this year and very likely to join the Hunters.

Can't wait for Leave to join the Hunters..

Do you think China will win OWWC this year? What's your dream roster?

[@bigbbro3682]

@@Akshonesports Can't say, all I can say is Hunter's coach is more or less a genius with unique understanding of tactics and strategies. The good thing is that the boys would have competed in the league for quite some time then, while Team China would draw much more attention from other teams compared to last year. As for the 2nd question, I have to admit that I miss the 1st year after ow came out. Quite a few talented players left especially after Blizzard restricted 3rd-party-held championships. There are so many names that comes to me, so I just gonna mention the one that impressed me most. XDD, now a PUBG pro of RNG club, was as good a flex as, if not better than Leave imo. He hit rank #1 in 2 continuous competitive seasons on CN server, won 1v1 solo cup champion where lots of pros and streamers participated. After he shifted to PUBG pro he earned 2 rewards for killing the MOST out of 2 offline competitions. What's special about him is that he somehow managed to aim very well with a much higher sensitivity compared to average pros(like 2.5x faster or even more, he often does a smooth 360 within one swing of wrist when he streams). This has enabled him to do some crazy moves such as dragshots over half of a screen, genji's 270 degree ghost dash... So back to the question, Leave and XDD being the double flex is the dream roaster I'm so hyped to see, they could literally fit in any comp. Sadly it's unlikely to happen.

In my opinion the high potential disrupt meta was very omitted when the 3-3 came, so I would like to see it come back and show its real potential

[@FedoraReshiramGaming]

The Hunters are just doing Overwatch right, they aren't just playing random comps, they are picking the comp that best works for 'their' playstyle. They don't bind themselves to Goats like nearly every other team does, and they dont play the mentality of (okay we took point one with dps heroes, we have 2-3 ults ready to go, lets all swap to goats and reset our ult percentage!) like other teams do. They'll run goats if they must, but its not their default strat, its their 'if nothing else works then lets go goats' playbook and they have a ton of plays to prove that they dont need goats

OK,I'm Chinese and I'm a hardcore Chengdu fan.I want to tell something some of you guys probably don't know. I typed these words with my phone 1.Jiqiren' rein is no doubt the best in China, winston normal, sucks at ball and orisa. More like a rein one trick. He's struggled a lot at visa problem, Chinese audience are really super highly expecting his visa could be solved. Jiqiren himself desperately want it too. And it was solved a few days ago. He will liberate lateyoung from bench, Jiqiren and lateyoung were the best coordinated tanks in China, two boys are really good friends, and they are so funny when they streaming together. 2.Chengdu's headcoach RUI, he's the most respectful figure in cn ow, he has a really active brain never stubborn, nickname as "highly skilled doctor". Some of you may noticed the fight of MY vs Lunatic-hai, MY almost beat Lunatic Hai but why? OK, it's beacause lateyoung desperately wanted to pee after two matches, he drunk too much water, so he called a pause, but Koreans said they can only pause once, and when RUI wanted to call a pause when score 2-2（MY players were crashed by LH mentally and started to play like throwing） and being told he can't ,it's already used once. Otherwise I bet MY would beat LH 3-2 with my fcking head. RUI is really really an amazing coach, he was a LOL pro when he was younger, he also insisted team China should play symmetra when owwc2018. 3.Ameng wasn't famous at all before owls2 in China, elsa,kyo,yvetal hard carried ever match with steady performance, but they are not as famous as jinmu and ameng. 4.Leave will be 18 when oct 2019, and he's living in chengdu LA base right now, Leave and RUI trusted each other very much, you can see Leave as a clown Fleta with deep hero pool, I think leave will be very likely go to CDH in s3, and there were some rumors said he will go to GZcharge. 5.I'm a little tired, maybe update when I have time

"The valiant and brave pioneers on a quest". Sounds good doesn't it? Because that's simply the truth! Coming in with really low expectations, to defying the meta and being just another team not named "San Francisco Shock" nor "Vancouver Titans", to actually winning big matches on their way to nearly scratching the playoff cut. Win or lose, Chengdu guarantees fun every single damn time they are playing. Similar to last season as to how NYXL basically has a roster full of rock stars, Chengdu basically also has the same thing now. My 3 favourite players in Chengdu are Ameng, Jinmu, and probably Elsa. But the rest of the team are also real close too! Seeing Baconjack and YangXiaoLong on mostly hitscan really invigorates the heart while seeing Yveltal and Kyo do their jobs nicely invigorates the soul. Can't wait to see how Chengdu will wow us in the next stages.

[@ThunderTheBlackShadowKitty]

I don't think it's strange that 3-dps comps have risen with 3-3 reigning supreme lately. It actually makes a lot of sense if you think about goats' weaknesses. They're a short-range 'shell' brawling comp that hits like a battering ram. So naturally the counter is long-range suppressing fire and physically breaking up their shell. So heroes like torb, hammond, sombra, mei and many others really excel at helping to create space on a point and whittling down the goats 'shell' until it cracks. I've never understood the hatred of certain comps, it's clever tactics where the goal is to win by any means necessary. Goats still has my full support as a fun, unbreakable and powerful comp that's here to stay.

[@Akshonesports]

The hatred of certain comps likely stems from people's negative experience with them. They see/ hear about pros playing goats and think "that's what works, so we should play it too," and ignore anyone who thinks there are heroes outside the meta. Torb is a very hit or miss hero, depending on one's understanding of how he can be used as more than just a throw pick. Any hero that's not considered meta is easiest to blame if the team isn't doing well. But I agree, there are interesting comps that should theoretically be able to give GOATS a run for its money, so long as others in the ladder are open-minded about it and willing to work together for the sake of winning~ -Nessa

[@ThunderTheBlackShadowKitty]

@@Akshonesports Agreed completely. Personally I hate most DPS comps with a passion simply because they're squishy heroes. I can't stand the idea of having them move such a far distance from me and then die because I wasn't able to reach and help them in time. DPS are just too squishy for me to be comfortable playing with, plain and simple. As a healer main sometimes I feel like I'm worthless because I can't reach my DPS in time and the enemy is putting out more damage than I can heal, so what am I supposed to do? It's made me lose enough matches and cause enough headaches to where I simply refuse to play without GOATS. Like it doesn't matter to me anymore, I'm not taking the risk. I cannot deal with having my team spread out and getting picked one by one, I much prefer a tight shell that hits like a battering ram.

I think the NYXL will be better but not in this season The have Sbb pine jjonak nenne flower and libro I think they need a fresh start next season to really shine

Now we just need an OWL pro to be xerneas and we'd be good

[@jasond234]

I mean I'm English so I guess dps style comps would be good coz then the spitfire would be alot better. Also I'm a dps main (like so many others) so i want to see my favourite characters being played at the highest level

[@Akshonesports]

We'd love to see more dps played as well! What heroes do you main?

How does Chengdu play multi DPS in the GOATs meta? Easy, they have Ameng, the yottachad. Question is: Does YOUR TEAM have a yottachad? Guess not.

Is it time to watch overwatch league again? Did the meta change enough to be entertaining to watch?

[@Akshonesports]

GOATS persists, but some teams are trying to counter it in ways that play up their strong points, and bunker has started popping up more

[@ayylmao539]

@@Akshonesports bunker is very map dependent unfortunately. Yea, I'm not watching this seasons games unless I'm literally in bed trying to sleep :/

[@Akshonesports]

What changes would make it interesting enough for you to watch again?
