such a good video, i hope there are more to come!

[@iamcalder]

Thank you very much! I appreciate it! I work by on more it’s just a slow process

[@tomdevoil_uk9784]

Awesome video, the detail is remarkable, especially for an OWL fan like me

[@iamcalder]

Thank you! I really appreciate it! It’s always nice to know someone enjoyed something you made!

[@juandavidmondragon7573]

Beautiful video man, literally the best videogame documentary i've seen in a while, the only recommendation i can give is to put More gameplay when narrating the maps, can't wait for the next vid

[@iamcalder]

Thanks I really appreciate it! Thanks for the tip!

[@buggle6118]

i'm sure youll get picked up by the algorithm soon seeing as you landed on my recommended only gripe i have is the very very long explanation of overwatch mechanics, i dont think anyone who doesnt play overwatch has ever heard of the shanghai dragons so it doesn't make much sense to explain overwatch mechanics like what a flex supp or projectile hero is

[@iamcalder]

That makes sense. My main reasoning was because I feel like the game has changed a lot in the last 6-7 years so new players or non players would be able to understand. But definitely a little tedious if you been playing since the start

[@pikazilla6405]

The dragons were such a sad sight because it would be one thing for them to just simply be bad and get stomped every game without putting up a fight, but more often than not they put in so much effort often times for absolutely nothing. Their round win to lose rate was embarrassing but that's never the whole story and it was rare for them to give an easy win to an opponent. It had to have been an utterly demoralizing experience to give your all time and time again to just barely lose these matches.

[@iamcalder]

As I was watching the games back I really just started to feel bad for them. Must’ve been such a hard thing to go through for the team.

[@Poisonieer]

Now do the oposit ,the first season of titans.

[@destinychild9285]

lucio is main support not flex

[@iamcalder]

At this time in Overwatch 1 Lucio was mostly used as a flex support. Partially because Mercy was a must pick and partially because he didn’t do as much healing as he does now.

[@destinychild9285]

@@iamcalder Thanks for that info but the only thing i remember is that the comp was mercy zen

[@iamcalder]

@destinychild9285 it was mostly mercy zen at this point because mercy was so over tuned and zen could give consistent healing and damage boost specific targets as players dove. If a team wanted to try and bum rush them it would be Mercy-Lucio generally. Always exceptions to the rule though

[@destinychild9285]

@@iamcalder true it is not always the same

[@timothychinye6008]

At the time lucio was definitely used as a flex

[@ericzache3636]
