Overwatch - Zenyatta Guide | Why Do We Fight?

[@pineapplefarmer7352]

"Hah, this *ground-based* trap, laying on the *ground*, won't harm me, seeing as I'm levatati- *click*"

[@JetJenkins]

This guy's voice and accent are so soothing, I had to check if the video had "ASMR" as a tag. He's like a golf commentator, only I'm interested in what he says.

[@LockieNZ]

Accent = New Zealand

[@zombiejesusss]

Am I really looking at a jotaro/Karl pilkington mashup pic right now

[@blahthebiste7924]

Actually he's Welsh

[@CreepsMcPasta]

I appreciate this video. Recently picked up Zen. He's SUPER fun to play regardless of skill

[@seanknapp1654]

oh dear god Creeps just commented on Boo's page!

[@MrRainbowThief]

omg, creeps plays overwatch 😍

[@streffel]

this was one of the best videos i've ever seen. wow.

[@expertb6348]

I suggest you go see his video on Roadhog. It my personal favorite :D

[@Chromefall]

+Expert b "STEP ASIDE ROADHOG, MY POSSIE IS WAY BIGGER THAN YOURS!"

[@animal1439]

I needed this boo, after an 8 hour shift at mcdonalds and waking up at 5 am you were just what the doctor ordered :D

[@Mastergrapefruit]

It's always so soothing to hear Boos voice. I'd love him as a audio-book narrator or just in a semi-annual podcast with Star and Jerma.

[@ActiveX4]

There aren't many video creators who make me stop with whatever I'm doing to watch their video. But Boo is certainly one of them.

[@FirebyrdXX]

Man it's bizarre seeing how different Zen was a year ago. Only 150 health, the much slower orb speed, no Transcendence speed boost, and back when discord was 50% debuff.

[@Daetok]

This video was surprisingly enjoyable. I'm new to your content, but if any of your other videos are like this one then you are quickly becoming one of my favorites.

[@icecatti]

This video is undeniably amazing. Great voice, funny jokes, awesome plays, great bits of information. Everything that I was looking for after the recent buff to this character.

[@prorein16]

Amazing and hilarious script, I laughed out loud at 11:21. Probably my favourite Boo Overwatch video so far!

[@JordyMOOcow]

hey boo, just want to say that you're one youtuber I consistently watch because of their personality. Aside from teaching a great deal about characters, not only do you have a great voice, but the narrative and small breaks in character really have me checking to see if you've uploaded another video. You're definitely an underrated channel.

[@devildocleather3452]

Loved this video! Best I have ever seen for Overwatch. It was scripted but you pulled it off like it wasn't. Smooth and seamless unlike most of the videos I have seen. All of your points made sense and the jokes weren't over the top and I felt they landed well. Keep it up! Something that stood out to me is when you said, (10:29) "The question remains the same, why do we fight?.... It is to protect those around us." Obviously this was said tongue in cheek, but as a combat vet I can say this is 100% true. The warriors in the trenches do not fight for the politicians that send them, but for their brothers to the left and right of them. Again, nothing whatsoever to do with the video but, I liked the way you said it.

[@vkmi5776]

Finally the video of my favourite youtube guy on my favourite overwatch guy. I'm so happy. Fun fact: at the end you had Zenyatta help deliver an EMP bomb targeted at the Omnics relegated to the getto below King's Row. Well, not really fun, more like soul crushing.

[@sjafi]

By far the most entertaining but also informative Overwatch guides! Cheers!

[@Tagglink]

Holy Boo. This writing. That ending. I'm loving this.

[@GamerHarpo]

Wonderful! Definitely one of your best vids yet. It's awesome to have you back on the regular :)

[@Lord_Talha]

Boo I believe you'll discuss this in the advanced Zenyatta video, but it was worth mentioning that a majority of his health are shields. This helps him be slightly less squishy and give him some self healing .

[@Magicarpmaster]

Thats assuming you dont get melted before you can take cover.

[@SAMS300FOXES]

Good work, Boo. You're the only KZbinr I've seen successfully use Zen's alt-fire to good effect. Great to know the difference between a normal orb and an alt orb. :)

[@coolguy8473]

And boo is in the Call

[@jameshunter7422]

Boo you never fail to make a brilliant video, keep it up man

[@Gir123bleach6311]

Overwatch was the greatest thing that has ever happen to this channel! Nice job again boo c:

[@TheWombatHD]

Boo. I love your videos... no joke. the best OW videos out there ❤

[@ybawther]

Boo you're awesome! Zen was such an enigma to me and this really cleared things up! great work!

[@albertothealpaca5682]

Zenyatta is the only character I've gotten a 25+ kill streak with. He is downright SCARY in the right situations.

[@sonikku956]

Weird, Boo is making regular videos

[@stratojim473]

DON'T YOU JINX IT

[@sonikku956]

+stratojim473 Oh come on, last time I said that I didn't jinx it. I think.

[@CharlieDB96]

I liked your comment. But then Stratojim made a good point. NO THUMBS UP FOR YOU

[@RigoVids]

+sonikku956 it was just delayed, his lack of videos follows the Jinx just as delayed as his videos

[@Aechkay]

RIP

[@Drewolo23]

Main problems that people have with Zenyatta: -He doesn't do very good healing compared to the other heros -He's the weakest hero because he has the least health and no ways of escaping fights -His damage isn't consistent unless the player can hit his shots Easy ways to buff zenyatta so that he fits these needs and isn't too strong: -Give him a set of armor at the start of his life so that he isn't so easy to kill but he isn't impossible to kill because armor doesn't regen back. -Allow him to have 2 special orbs instead of only having 1 discord and 1 harmony orb. This allows Zenyatta to heal 2 targets at once, heal 1 target and mark 1 enemy, or mark 2 enemies. This way he can be very offensive or be very defensive. -Maybe attach his damage to his healing rate? With each hit of your main orbs, your healing target will get a bit of health with every shot you hit, making it so zenyatta players are encouraged to heal while also doing damage and still being a good healer.

[@Drewolo23]

Lol many thanks

[@neshploda17]

Great vid Boo! Something to mention in an advanced tutorial video would be Zenyatta's passive: he has no footsteps

[@BootsofBlindingSpeed]

This channels content consistently keeps improving.

[@RubberFacee]

Why Do We Fight? What is this? Mists of Pandaria?

[@WheezyShotta]

Don't play wow. still found this funny

[@jinjeong323]

Don't remind him of it! It took him forever to get out of it last time....

[@davidmichael6488]

Wales in semis and boo uploads. Glorious.

[@Sonikman103]

I really enjoys these boo, hope there will be more!

[@kazzerere]

It really made me smile to see you playing with Stealth! class video boo :)

[@markcarter4266]

This is the Hero guide I have been waiting for Zenyatta is favorite

[@Marvelmar86]

it's good to see you found a new groove, one you kinda lost after mw3 wore out. you are in your element again ^^ and that ending was hilarious :D

[@SpeakerPlays]

loving the more regular vids, Boo! havn't missed a single one

[@Mrwutevah]

Title reminds me of the first page in the amazing "Gone with the blastwave" comic ^^ Great video, you're really giving some good tips on all the heroes.

[@mikeiscoolerthenyou]

Ive yet to play overwatch but im glad it brought back Boo.

[@jquikshot]

Another great tip for PC is a secondary discord orb bind to one of your extra mouse buttons, because it's easier to hit than E while still trying to move around.

[@tinhornname4117]

Transcendence is also great for contesting a point long enough to buy your team some time to make an organized push

[@TrumpLester]

Oh good, another Boo v...vih... Oh no...he's too soothing to stay awake to... *Falls asleep while watching*

[@shaddy_got_a_melody]

That sir, is asmr. This guy has an inborn talent for it.

[@hunterer90]

Boo I must say I love this series! And also I would love to see some more advanced tactics for the different characters. Like you said about Roadhog :)

[@bendelundead]

Zenyatta is like a high powered rifle with a healing/debuff attachment. In the right hands he is absolutely destructive.

[@jambo5936]

Im glad i didnt unsub the year or so u were gone :)

[@LifeorDeath2077]

Oh god he moves SOOOOOO slowly with the ult, I'm so glad it got buffed

[@Lardo137]

Some thoughts on Zenyatta: He should be able to float midair for a few seconds, and his ult should let him fly. It gives him some emergency mobility with his ult while still maintaining his squishiness, and he already floats.

[@tryhardgohard]

soo so sooooo happy to see regualr vids from you again ❤❤

[@86AvZ]

I was worried of playing the slower firing heroes like Zanyatta or McCree because of my iffy aim but you make a strong case for Zen. I have been melted by him before and realize his vast usefulness. Thanks, Boo.

[@alexsitaras6508]

mcrees head shot dps is very punishing at mid range, it might not kill a roadhog but it will ward them off consistently and the hooks are easy enough to dodge with rolls

[@86AvZ]

Roadhog is easy enough with Tracer or Junkrat (Two of my favorites). For tanks those two put them down easy enough.

[@eyal675]

someone give boo an oscar for that bit in the beginning

[@gmtom19]

Does the discord debuff apply to Reinhardt's shields?

[@booman61]

I almost instinctively wrote "no", but then... I've never actually thought about it. The barrier is a part of Rein's arm, so maybe it could? I'll try it out.

[@agategaming288]

Pretty sure you can't target him with discord while his shield is up, so even if it did apply it's tough to take advantage of.

[@CriticalFeline]

i think he meant if Reinhardt's shield takes more damage if the reinhardt is orbed

[@PoshByDefault]

Yeah I don't think we feel any difference do we?

[@Randoman590]

No. If you get an angle on him you can paint Reinhardt himself with the Discord and tear him apart but the shield itself will not take increased damage.

[@En7my]

Great videos brother! This one was undoubtedly one of the best!

[@marofer758]

"BIG targets.." "Tanks, Mei.." poor Mei

[@TheShapingSickness]

Why is zenyatta delivering the payload on kings row?

[@spoolsloops]

So early... i love you Boo i've been around since the classic MW3 vids...

[@csdragon123456]

that dialogue was beautiful

[@TheDanielmundy]

Boo is back baby so glad that theres a game he can sink his teeth into and make some vids on XD

[@ErosionXperment]

"Why do we fight? Because FUCK the Red team!"

[@ASadTeddyBear]

Hey boo, what rank are you in competitive play?

[@booman61]

Currently 58

[@Jognt]

White Tiger guide you! Oh, you might want to add an annotation to 8:55 saying that as of the Ana patch both his primary and secondary fire deal 40 damage per orb. (besides the HP bump and transcendance buff)

[@arturgomes4097]

Wow u really are the best ovw youtuber. Keep up the great work!

[@jamz3243]

finally someone not saying to "just get gud" for zenyatta.

[@absolutelydisgusting3296]

Oh how I wish you make a video on Bastion. Great job on this one, as always.

[@happycreepersdk]

I Subscribed because of 2 things... 1: You play zenyatta... 2: Ur voice is so cool and ur fun :D

[@MeeesterBond17]

He used to be my favourite hero before Zarya stole my heart. ^^

[@Slip666black]

Congratulations on your promotion to the semi-finals. I'll keep fingers crossed for you !!! Greetings from a faithful fan of the Polish

[@SOENJAY]

So, does turning your back on a player count as breaking line of sight with the orbs of harmony/discord? Or is it specifically only if there is a wall between you and another player?

[@booman61]

You can turn your back to them, the line of sight thing only applies to walls

[@lds2795]

So like lusios healing aura

[@EpicxNerd73]

I main Zenyatta, and I love everything about him. Actually, a previous comp match I got a 2k heal with one ult

[@henrikbernwald4517]

I really enjoy your vids, Boo! Keep it up! :)

[@StinkoBrownTV]

Seriously, I want an Audible book read by Boo.

[@ramanjaff]

I like the change in video format ;P

[@saedimic]

Another weakness of Zenyatta? as you mentioned, Boo or destruction is the key, and it doesnt work against shields and cant be thrown out, when you're charging anything. Well, and the whole sightline thing makes you a delicious cookie for everyone with long range capabilites. Another terrible weakness is... everyone else with healing options have the ability to heal oneself, zenyatta isnt so lucky. 100 shields, sure, but if you're down that much that you need it, you will die to anything. Mercy in comparison, heals for more, thus her ult charges faster and is more potent. And for those who arent the healslave and actually try to use the pistol. That thing packs quite the punch. It's not bastion turret or pulse rifle, it is whoever more accurate than both. If someone like a genji thinks you're easy prey, make them think again. 100 dps in five bullets, with decent headshots that kills any strugglers. Oh, and you can go straight back to healing, since it autoreloads. Point is, Zenyatta is good, yes, but in comparison to other healers, he doesnt have that much appeal, his heal and ult are only decent, Orb of destruction can be unreliable due to shields and you die to snipers and flankers if you dont catch them at midrange. He dearly needs a change of some kind, be it health, movement or whatever. Speaking of damage. D.va in her mech deals less damage per second than d.va without mech.... who deals less damage than mercy with her pistol. Why?

[@Ewan_Tyler]

"It's very rare you will get 1000+ healing in one ult" It's just practise, that's how you get the achievement for the cute head spray

[@Jamin_Ben]

There needs to be a drunken skin for ol' zen with burps and belches that come along

[@afodness5924]

boo, what is the music at the end of the video?

[@itsthatnerdable]

Any thoughts on how blizzard will change Zen in the future? Do you think a small buff is justified?

[@calvinwinner]

hey boo, planning on putting some competitive gameplay on the channel?

[@speedysimmy3799]

what's this song called?

[@bobsbrain397]

Daft question: Does orb of destruction have damage falloff?

[@booman61]

A good question, there is no damage falloff.

[@santa0704]

that intro was awesome

[@GummyBoar]

So yeah, just thought i'd look back to the first video of yours i remember Turns out i've been subscribed for nearly 5 years :| Boo = Bae

[@AlkisGD]

Dude, you sound like you'd make a great voice actor and/or game caster! :o

[@bencarroll8203]

Does mei's ice cube remove orbs like other immunity effects?

[@booman61]

Yes you'll need to reapply it once she breaks out.

[@VeioXed]

You proud of Wales getting into the semis of the euros?

[@GaMeZaHoY]

i think zen is good assassin too. no footstep noise and the super burst

[@shadowghost5000]

Hey Boo, just wondering, do you play Smite anymore? i quit around the time when i heard you quit but i feel like playing it again but im not sure if its worth it since they have changed so much about the game. :)

[@JustSomeFoo]

Not sure if Boo plays it but I still do, and as long as you stay away from conquest, it's fun.

[@shadowghost5000]

oh really? conquest was my favourite :'(

[@Randoman590]

Zenyatta was the very first hero I played in the Open Beta. That game was an absolute steamroll.

[@silent3118]

Hey boo can u tell me why u don't upload anymore tf2???

[@DarkBandicoot]

My only beef with Zenyatta is the 150 hp. I die a lot, but if I was playing a Lucio, Mercy or even Symmetra, I die a lot less, because naturally, having less hp generally means that. I can still get a card with him, but feel I'm more help as any of the other supports. I feel like I should be healing or attacking more. I never like to show myself too much though, because getting hit and healing passively and I'm dead. He's a 3 star hero, so he's not easy to use. I love putting out discord orbs and letting my team do the damage, assuming they will, but getting kills myself feel excellent, but my aim isn't wonderful, as I have to concentrate super hard. Still, he's fun to play. I just wish he had more health in exchange for less damage. That's my opinion on him. :)

[@Metatr0n]

Instead of more HP I think it would be a bigger advantage to have some more mobility. Because against the right opponent, a higher HP won't be of much use. And since you have to keep a line of sight to your orbed targets, you're even in greater danger than pre-nerf because you have to expose yourself too often and for too long. The only things I would change are: -A movement-based passive skill -Orbs disappear 7 seconds after line of sight was lost

[@DarkBandicoot]

Metatr0n This sounds good. He's very average on speed with the least hp. Escaping is terrible. I know that you're not meant to escape every time, but a chance would be nice.

[@prosvade1337]

I really enjoyed this vid good job man

[@dylanmason8201]

Another great Overwatch vid! Keep it up

[@AliemNoor]

It would be so funny if zenyatta threw up gang signs everytime he shoots an orb.

[@Snauss]

Then there should be a skin where he has a backwards hat, baggy pants, and a gold chain to replace his orbs.

[@AliemNoor]

+Snauss My guy, this isn't the 80s. Not all gangmembers look like that now

[@Snauss]

What's wrong with the classics?

[@AliemNoor]

+dsrtdfr3men. shoots chains, shoot up a block and do a drive by. whatever comes first, man.

[@AliemNoor]

+dsrtdfr3men lol. thanks fam.

[@thelastnannelvods5749]

Zen is my main. Out of 100 or so hours, I have about a quarter of them in him, and I absolutely love him.But I constantly find myself getting frustrated due to his pathetically low 150 health. Which would be no issue if Zen had another healing option outside of transcendence or some kind of mobility. Since I mostly solo cue, I find myself getting ganked since I'm usually the only one on the bloody point. Speaking of Zen's Ulti, I can never use it effectively. I understand the immense usefulness and its significance as a counter-ult.But my solo cued teammates never fucking do. Ever. Unless I have a mic, and a team who is listening I find myself swtiching to either another healer, or Symmetra on Defense, or Roadhog to try and fight on solo. Because no-one will group up with me when I get up ulti unless it's Zarya's and they're forced with me. Kind of hoping Zen gets some kind of buff eventually. But when I get some mates together? It's definately time to experience some fuckin' tranquility. Boo! Are you planing on streaming again soon? Shit was fun as hell man. Also, keep up the videos dude. I get that nostalgic tingle from every single one man, been here since the Black Ops One days, and never looked back. I ended up getting too addicted to The Binding of Isaac because of your videos, and subsequently, Overwatch more recently. Keep up these spectacular vids, Boo. Love them. c:

[@thefrogwannabe6895]

Hopefully with the next update he will be buffed because a developer said they were working on it (or something). I seriously hope they buff him in a way so that he has a movement ability similar to wall rides (in the sense that it is complex) because it would probably keep him balanced.

[@hobodjura481]

Are the orbs of destruction 100% accurate or is there still a bit of "recoil" or drop at a distance?

[@booman61]

They are perfectly accurate and will not dip while travelling.

[@hobodjura481]

+Boo ok thanks!

[@beautyisbrutal4088]

How many pots have you smoken today?

[@hobodjura481]

+I know you only a few.

[@beautyisbrutal4088]

Hobo Joe Well, I was asking boo, but thanks for the info anyway.

[@davidgales8321]

I swear you have the voice of god.

[@baakie178]

this was actually really funny, thanks! :D

[@callumpieterse9973]

Excellent video Boo!!!

[@marshroverv5632]

Did you go to a school for documentary narrators?

[@FireCalvinMaster]

we use the same skin & I use the potg pose thing in the thumbnail. cool

[@TheIncredibleMasterA]

What a cosy damn video

[@Artynis]

I love your videos Boo!
