So at 2:21 they already hotfix buffed him back to 40% damage reduction yesterday so he CAN tank DVa bomb up close again as long as you have 600 HP.

[@MixedFreight]

wdym. Totally normal.

[@quentincl2932]

At 5:38 you said wrecking ball destroyed the trap, but it s worth mentioning that the first initial dmg of the trap is triggered anyway and deals 60 dmg to the naughty rat who deserves it.

[@Teaadrop]

yeah and weird thing is, it was apparently indestructible after being activated..

[@luminen4051]

It can’t get to 0, there are diminishing returns when stacking basically any % debuff in ow

[@bigfudge2031]

@@luminen4051Doesn't feel like there is with the amount of CC in the game.

[@merxh00z]

Yea I think it stacks multiplicatively, like if two 50% slows stacked for example, it would actually be a 75% slow, as the second 50% would be 50% of the remainder, so only an additional 25%, but I imagine that there must be no limits comps that can get damn near close to 100%

[@murilotheodoro5025]

I'd like to see more myths about what happens to you if someone else triggers the pig pen, like, what if rein has his shield up, I'm behind it but a teammate triggers it and I'm in the AOE, do I take damage? How big is the 60 damage activation hitbox and does all players in the area get popped up or just the one who activates it?

[@zc8673]

Literally my first thought as well.

[@rajkanishu]

the aoe is caused by the electricity on the ground, it's like torb's lava, there's no way to block it it's not a LoS thing, at least that's what I felt playing with it

[@ethanpotato1971]

You're always my favorite to watch the myth buster stuff

[@bendersbeard]

Great job, Kar Kew! What an informative video :D

[@BendMax]

Also for the tests with reins charge and jq ult, you could have a second enemy activate the trap early to see if they are affected.

[@AutumnEnvy]

"here is visual confirmation that you cannot eat it" famous last words

[@aisthesis_]

Most useful information resource I found for this rework

[@somedude4087]

5:38 weirdly...we can see that it broke the trap...but it also triggered and damaged you (the 60 on the screen) somebody else tested it and first time the same happened, but after that the results were differen't, don't remember how tho

[@ikaros6633]

Finally, a professional interaction video

[@nr21_7ndrd52]

5:20 😂 Where did he came from?😂

[@triplet5375]

U can animation cancel whole hog right at the end with using any abilities like self heal, or to shoot primary fire

[@destroyerofworlds4663]

5:20 Tf you mean “unfortunately” 😂

[@eagerinspirit]

i know right that's what i said

[@Eli_Kennemer]

Not sure when this might b e a Mythbusters question - But "Does LW tree and other deployables block tracers pulse bomb?" - At 6:43 you talked about Mei potentially lifting Hogs trap. That made me remember me playing Lifeweaver on release and setting my tree on top a tracer bomb and negating it.

[@ilikestarwars4438]

Karq never fails to fill us to the brim with content

[@stinkyroadhog1347]

I think there's a couple interactions such as Mercy boost or Bap frame boosting PP's damage. Also they need to remove the boop effect

[@ethanportillo9840]

I fooken love these videos!!

[@sparquisdesade]

For the oneshot to work you have to jump forward halfway thru your hook animation and it'll work. Sometimes you won't even have to melee, your scrapgun will just one shot them

[@hogie48]

Do you look down with the hook?

[@Jet7Wave]

The hook starts slowing you down even as you're in the air so I can't see how this is accurate. How is it supposed to help you?

[@Jet7Wave]

Oh nvm! I read it backwards. So for anyone misunderstanding like I did, it literally is doing a little hop as the hook hits your opponent. As far as I can tell it's not a one-shot like it used to be where you could kill a tracer before she recalls or blinks, but hopping means the enemy is pulled into a position in the air where they are unable to strafe away from you, meaning you have time to get close enough. Keep W pressed, hook, hop, press forward and fire to melee as the enemy hits the ground. A lot of heroes can save themselves from this, but if they are badly positioned with their abilities on cooldown, it's theoretically effective.

[@sparquisdesade]

@@Jet7Wave I'd like to add, it's LITERALLY impossible to practice this on the dummies in VAXTA. I tried for like an hour an the bots reaction times are just...godlike. However in the practice range you can test around with it an get a better feel. All that being said tho, the better one shot for hog now is to just hook them into pigpen an shoot em once. Lol

[@sparquisdesade]

@@hogie48 In my VERY LIMITED experience testing this out in the practice range, the answer is "it depends". It's kinda different for very hero you hook. You just gotta go into the range and test it out on the stationary hero dummies to get a feel.

[@murilotheodoro5025]

I just love the bonk sound effect so much man, i really laughed at those myths

[@frankunbaphomet3206]

5:23 for sun zen blessings. Magnificent.

[@jundahbalafif2610]

you can animation cancel the ult end animation with the new take a breather and goes for a scrap gun shot immediately after the ult ends (you take a breather right just before the ult ends, and you can shoot your regular scrap gun immediately without delay from the ult end animation)

[@BrendanWoolwine]

Windchesterlion is asking the real questions! Thanks KarQ!

[@Cloud7050]

Now I'm curious about some of these interactions with junkrat's trap

🤣 I gotta know! What's the deal with that Junkerqueen just randomly flying by at about 2:05? I was all 🤨 rewound and slowed it down just to be 😯🤣🤣🤣

[@DasOmen02]

The way it reacts to some of these myths, I'm going to guess that the hitbox for the trap itself is probably just underneath the map; hence why Zarya bubble doesn't interact with it at all and stuff. Interesting I wonder how Venture will interact with this?

[@KirbyGamingLive]

I wonder if bubbled Zarya will activate pig pen in a future update

[@ShinigamiZone]

Yeah, that clearly looks like a bug to me Like something they forget to test

[@KirbyGamingLive]

@@ShinigamiZone Same

[@knyt0]

@@ShinigamiZone they literally mentioned it in the interview that they tested that interaction specifically, it's intentional

You can cancel waving into scrap gun to remove recoil from that shot

5:16 bro gave us a chance to picture it ourselves 💀💀💀

[@J.R.Swish1]

Has someone also tested if Tracer can blink over Pigpen without activating it? Like she can do with Junkrat trap?

[@chrisperry4014]

I wonder if platform will be a counter to his pen since it theoretically will cover or destroy his mine once placed on top, like tree.

[@ePotaito]

The casual flying Queen is a treat here 😂😂😂 2:06

[@Shpwrk_Music]

1 Lifeweaver tip vs every hero (ft. Bogur), 1 Roadhog 2.0 tip vs every hero (ft. cyx again) these are the best videos and the last one we got was for ram in season 3 :(

[@CyberDemon1]

I love the sound effects they should use that

[@Dr_Decaf]

5:25 i did not expect that 💀

[@Lodomir164]

btw u can as illari u can shoot it once no full charge and shift to detroy it

[@pinacolada9793]

What if you stack pigpen, vortex, Mei blaster, Illari ult, Sym turrets, Cass nade, and whatever else has a slowing effect that I may be forgetting?

[@JeffreyHage]

3:25 I want that soundeffect in the game XD

[@bo_unerro]

6:08 But you can charge from it if you step on it, then bubble, right? What I’m seeing from this Zaria clip is that barriers block the pig pen trigger hit box. Interesting.

[@mainquest1769]

I'd say the one shot is very doable by hook, shoot, melee and pig pen in that sequence.

[@voxsq]

9:20 for some reason I thought the icon was a trollface for a minute and I was so confused…

[@HenryAshman]

So the trap doesn't get blocked by shields if you deploy after you trigger it, but what happens if someone else triggers it with the shield already up? And is there a difference between symmetra's shield, which is explicitly floor to ceiling, versus rein or sigma which may not touch the floor. Also what happens with a mei wall instead of a shield?

[@dylancrosby2451]

The cc creep is insane.

[@jnrfalcon]

Technically Orisa takes the damage from triggering traps, but she breaks it instantly because of movement immunity. It's not just "break it in half".

[@pixeldot7171]

5:25 zen has become one with the sun

[@P.F_Factor]

Hi KarQ wanna add that on console there is no visual indicator for youre hogs trap which makes it hard to see if its you're hog or enemy hog's trap need help on this myth 😅

[@josejimmy7920]

Honestly love the new hog but I was so used to the old buttons that now I click them and something else happens

[@themoonsevilsister1561]

you can set the projectile speed down to test the "destroy before it's deployed" more clearly those most deployables can't be destroyed before they land save sym's turrets so it makes sense pig pen can't be destroyed soon either

[@mrpallas9402]

You mentioned that you don’t deal the full 150 damage from pig pen due to it booping the enemy up, does that mean that jumping will reduce the damage?

[@frostyspikes7589]

5:25 pass into the uuUUuhhHhh wise words

Try activating the trap and then have 76 run through it , I think that’s what they meant

[@Donutgod2287]

I can't imagine playing against a roadhog ramattra mei combo who are just making it impossible to wall, that would be painful

[@gwusbwth6230]

4:37 test if it damages a sigma standing opposite a shield when pig pen is activated by their ally

[@craberadicator9446]

They should be posting these in the official overwatch channel. This is so helpful to the community and keeps it alive so well.

[@tismute]

Hog crankers rise up

[@FlareToga76]

Note: Havana's payload (and i assume other very high "off the ground" payloads) don't destroy pig pen.

[@nathans9972]

If lifeweaver's petal platform is destroyed or expires with pig pen on top, does pig pen fall to the ground or get destroyed like it does with Mei ice wall?

[@KaiserDaGaemer]

so pig pen acts as an entity like Junk trap, Sig rock, and hog hook. but for some reason turrets dont detect it like they do junk trap.
