9:15 it is posible and not hard im a mercy main and I do it all the time with my reaper friend. U need to hold the heal or dmg boost the entire time it folows to his new position so u can golow him with ga then. ( basicaly heal beam hin wait until he arives then ga.)

[@jonsnow4005]

Can Genji deflect turrets from sym and torb. And can he deflect JQ's knife, Ramm's vortex and does his deflect nullify sig ult damage while aiming up

[@ygorschuma3059]

Bastion's artillery doesn't actually fire a projectile up, it only plays an animation, and the projectile drops from the sky, that's why you can't block it when he fires, only when it falls.

[@spoonsVSforks]

Also why you can’t get those shots blocked by a ceiling

7:59 I’d like to point at a super niche situation where if genii gets stuck by sonic arrow then deflects and gets suzu he will deflect the sonic arrow seen it in a clip once

[@THE_MOONMAN]

Oh weird? I wonder if it depends where the arrow is on genji? Like if it's behind him I wonder if it still works 🤔 cause if it's in front that's makes sense cause it's falling through his deflect the second it detaches from him. But that also still means it has a projectile tag Hmm theoretically you could drop it on someone's head than if the timing is just right and technically it should hurt them. That is a very obscure glitch 😅

[@ladysyberia7419]

I remember seeing something like this on Noobhunter, from a Dafran clip. The sonic arrow was in the DVA, she got cleansed & the arrow got deflected by the genji and it headshot Dafran. Pretty wild.

[@stylishsnek3950]

@@ladysyberia7419 cool, you have a link?

[@vrnvorona]

How much damage would it do? Because I think for regular deflect arrows you deal same damage as Hanzo based on his draw. Does arrow remember it's power or it's new value?

9:15 - Can Mercy Guardian Angel to a Reaper's Shadow Step? She actually can guardian angel to any distance from reaper tp or sombra translocator, you just need to keep the beam on them with guardian angel preferes beam target or facing target on. When ally teleports you can fly with ga across the map while the beam lingers on them

[@badassbirkin4907]

Lmao reminds me of flats spectating bronze when a mercy went of the map because the reaper disappeared.

[@Cloud7050]

Sounds interesting. Kind of like how a friendly Mei can't be targeted while in ice block, but if you were beaming her then the beam still lingers for that grace period.

[@D-Doc-C]

@@badassbirkin4907 YESSICA NOOOOOO

[@BobOrKlaus]

same thing i was about to comment, the grace period before the beam disconnects can very much be used to GA to the reaper, there are a very few very specific uses for it tho (ive been playing quite a bit of bastion escape recently and its VERY useful there)

[@KarQ]

Interesting... I'll revisit this in a future ep

[@Dark_Souls_3]

WORM?!?!?!

[@Jay-jc5ny]

I think the game logic in blocking Sigma's Flux at 2:58 is because the damage "comes from" above due to the "gravity effect". Hence, the player blocks the "incoming damage from above"

[@skyfeelan]

and ow heroes don't take fall damage, so they just fall normally

[@lookatthetree978]

There is no projectile going up, only animation so you obviously can’t block or eat it Edit: for some reason I thought they were talking about bastions ult, didn’t check the time stamp, so my comment makes no sense. Although if I had to guess it’s because the actual source of the damage is sig himself, so if the sig is at a higher altitude than you when the damage is done then it is done from above you, meaning blocking up reduces that damage. So if this right then if the sig is lower than you when you hit the ground (on a ledge while sig is still below mid ult) you should take damage from the bottom and it would behave more accurately. Needs more testing.

[@francescozeta12]

The damage does not come from above, you get smashed to the ground, it would make a bit more sense to block damage while looking down, but none of the 2 options are good, they should get the full damage in any direction, i hope it's a bug

[@rickberny1424]

It’s because, most likely, the dmg comes from a hitbox above the characters and not “fall dmg” or “gravity dmg”, for example if you are grounded by ramattras vortex and you get slammed even though you are like 5cm in the air you still get full dmg, that cause the way the move works, it lifts you up, quickly brings you to the ground, and then simultaneously brings down a hit box to dmg all the slammed players, by looking up you are effectively blocking this invisible hitbox. It has nothing to do with gravity or fall dmg

[@xmafian]

Most likely. Still is a complete bs and shouldn't be possible.

[@S11ushie]

8:06 "in a previous myth BUSSY episode" theres NO WAY you did that on accident, gonna need some answers KarQ

[@someGuy-kl7cb]

honestly the hog tip for symmetra is actually really good when you think about it, not only would it stop his hook, but also it would cancel out his right click if it gets close enough, and if he fails to kill them, then its free ult charge and temporary slow. no real downsides to tossing turrets at hog.

[@freakraptor2700]

as a gm sym otp, I'd have to disagree. turrets are quite valuable and you shouldn't actively try to block the hook with turret as it can be really inconsistent in a real game. even if you block the hook, that's a turret cd wasted, which you could've used for more valuable purposes. I only really use this tech when I'm in a sticky situation. it's a cool tech to pull off tho and it always feels really good lol

[@Cloud7050]

If you read he's gonna hook and he tries someone standing near you instead, if the turret is close enough to him, it could still obstruct the hook too and save someone else. Definitely something I'll keep in mind.

[@AliceTheToastWitch]

The reason for the wacky Rein/Orisa interaction with their charge abilities is due to the grab box of rein charge. If you have a bit of distance it’s just the normal hit box and the javelin spin takes priority.

[@antcig]

For the last one, you can probably do it if you beam the reaper before shadowstep and then teleport to him before the beam break, if you have correctly configured your setting like KarQ told you to in another video.

[@Foxi_Boio]

You indeed can

[@OrigamiAhsoka]

The blocks negating damage from sigma Ult by looking up makes no sense 😭

[@johnywong7136]

If you turn on ga prefer beam target and beam the reaper you can fly to him. Beam breakage is not instantaneous so after the reaper teleports you can still ga to reaper. This works for heroes with teleport abilities like Kiriko too.

[@terriblecacti]

here's one: if ramattra is ulting, and an enemy kiriko cleanses everyone in the ult radius, will the ramattra's ult timer tick down for the duration of suzu?

[@ريّان-ذ4ت]

7:50 an interesting interaction I saw with this on a stream clip once is that while the arrow is falling an enemy genji can deflect it and even kill with it

[@charKT-7461]

Not a myth or anything, just a fun observation. I found out that Ramattra can block damage dealt by the workshop. I’m sure Doom can as well, but I didn’t try it with him

[@flixiander8779]

I love these videos and can’t wait for more mythbusters videos, I reallly look forward to them!

[@KoJeTsCorner]

Weirdly with sigmas ult I dont know if this is common knowledge or if Some wonky shit happened to me. While I was playing orisa I got ulted by sigma at like 90 hp In a panic I used javalin spin and looked straight down and survived. Is that normal behavior?

[@Demonz2000]

Going along with the ravenous votrex myths, can ravenous votrex pull Bob down faster if he's thrown off a high ground ?

Does the support role passive activate quicker or heal more while in kistune rush?

[@Cakeboy9000]

One time, me and my friends were playing and a bastion used his ult. I’m an Orisa main so I thought, “Hmm, what if I try to stop the ult with my spin?” It ended up working successfully which was very interesting and cool to me.

​@@spoonsVSforks Nah, to the ground.

[@radddish]

as a new player this series is a gold mine of useful knowledge

[@Manacra13]

Question, I’m too lazy to test it myself. I’m assuming this is correct but I believe Ramatras ult timer doesn’t tick down as long as it’s doing damage. So if Mei freezes herself I’m the ult AOE does the timer go down? I’m starting to gather more data for a working theory that Mei is a pretty effective counter to ramatra for general ranked. (A coordinated team is a whole different story)

[@charchadonto]

Yep iceblock prevents the ult from going on. Even better, somebody directly behind it and thus shielded from Ram won't count either. And icewall is the better version of it

[@blablablabla4412]

friends, we’ve learnt today that if we are falling, we can block looking up minimizing the damage we take. obs: It works IRL, I’ve tested

[@tds4625]

Looking up to block Flux damage really is the equivalent of a kid saying it can’t hurt me if I don’t see it.

[@jjkm2945]

Can Doomfist negate Sigma's Gravitic Flux by using Meteor Strike while in a Gravitic Flux? Also, can Ramattra's Ravenous Vortex block anything, ie Roadhog hook or Cassidy Deadeye?

[@RedstoneManiac3]

i think bastions ult is only partially physical. what I mean in that when he fires, the bullet coming out of his barrel is purely cosmetic and the REAL shell only spawns directly above where it is supposed to land.

I have a myth! Does kiriko track any forms of damage mitigated?? I've noticed whether I block a dva bomb, or a bastion ult, Reaper ult, any of it. I've never once seen it give me a saved medal, the only time I've gotten a saved message from suzu was cause of the 50hp to my eye it didn't seem like the cleanse did anything. Actually blocking Dva bombs didn't even count as a negative effect cleansed. So does this track in any way at all?

Can Reinhardt and Orisa block Sigma's flux by aiming his shield up/javelin spin locking up?

[@remen8021]

Naw, the reason Ramattra and Doomfist can reduce it is likely that the source of Gravitic Flux's damage is Above the center point of the Flux somewhere, and those abilities reduce damage coming from a specific direction for the hero, while Reinhardt's Shield stops beams/projectiles (and orissa blocks projectiles). It's like an unintended bug that Ramattra and Doomfist can reduce the damage - the developers likely just didn't account for the exact method they used for damaging players affected by Gravitic Flux (which I'm just guessing has a point of origin in the skybox) so the directional nature allowed heroes like Ramattra and Doomfist that can reduce damage from certain angles to block some damage.

[@nucleargaming6815]

SO to explain the Sigma weirdness, maybe the damage works like a pulse that travels down and applies the damage? There's no fall damage in OW so maybe that's how they accomplished the damage?
