[@afifkhan6151]

i mean the really flashy ball techs are super situational, the only techs that you're gonna be using often are like walljump, recovery pd, fireball rebounds and maybe one or two other things i cant remember off the top of my head

[@nexesses1548]

People screaming names of ranked balls don’t understand that that shit don’t matter, and a lot of it wouldn’t even be valuable or effective in owl. It would be very situational too, very inconsistent and overal not worth it. He just taught himself to stick to all the tech and techniques that work against any level of competition, that’s why he is as good as he is. And don’t get me wrong, even though he doesn’t do the techs from like a chazm often, he can do them whenever he pleases. This video was specifically picked to show the basics.

I'm so excited to see Shock play this year. Every single player has the potential to be the absolute best on their role, it is actually insane.

[@blaynegreiner9365]

O2 Blast players are technically rookies, but that system is so efficient, they aren't really the gamble most rookies can be.

[@joshlewis8860]

I have never played Overwatch or seen this character being played, and yet I felt like I understood the gameplay style pretty well. (I only clicked the video cause I thought a pro using the wrecking ball character would be fun to watch.) So you honestly did a great job explaining what the player was thinking, and most importantly why their gameplay was working and benefiting the team.

[@CookiePieUniverse]

[@maseow]

great tank analysis! i loved seeing this playstyle and seeing the deep understanding of the ball tracer synergy

[@rikkatakanashi7402]

Junbin is by far the best Ball in the game, this video doesn’t show a fraction of his mechanics and he has improved game sense wise even more since this was recorded. This was before he went to shock and got coached by Crusty and NineK if I’m correct. So this is like… a fraction of a previous version of what he is gonna be in OWL. And he was already absolutely slaughtering people in contenders as imo the best tank in all of contenders.

[@madnessman1520]

david bascome deserves alot of recognition too as head coach of 02 blast for the last few years. i think he defineitley deserves a shot as an owl headcoach with some of the talent hes been able to create. the level of dominance hes made with 02 blast making them statistically the best contenders team in history under his rein

[@DJWolfHouse]

I do wish that you would go into more detail for deaths as well. Generally you either skip them completely or gloss over it with a “they overstayed”. But why did they overstay? What was wrong in their analysis? What piece of information were they missing? I think that’d be almost as useful as analyzing why they make the good decisions they do. Maybe even analyze a game where a really good player has a bad game and try to understand why.

[@blaynegreiner9365]

The problem with this is that without audio from the team's comms, it is very difficult to say with any certainty and the analysis would be speculation.

[@DJWolfHouse]

@@blaynegreiner9365 True but the explanations around the good decisions they make are also speculative. For me I think hearing in depth explanations of failures would be pretty interesting/helpful though.

I finally decided to go as high as I can with him, especially after the buff. I had deranked to silver, so I started there. 77% win rate and a couple days later, I'm diamond 4!

[@reddrift3022]

As a high level ball player, it's crazy how little technical skill goes into his gameplay, it's all gamesense and positioning. While I am definitely not at his level I can confidently say I would be mechanically better at using ball's abilities. So imagine if he was a god at both aspects. Unstoppable

[@blaynegreiner9365]

You can't say that with any certainty, though. He isn't using any "mechanical" Ball skill because it isn't needed. Being an actual paid professional on the most successful franchise in the esport, if he needed that mechanical skill to be successful, I imagine he would utilize it.

[@reddrift3022]

@@blaynegreiner9365 Not really. I play at a GM level, so just watching the video I saw many points where his ability use could be optimised, but his actual team awareness, positioning and gamesense is far above mine. Many pros aren't one tricks like a lot of GM players (me included) who have almost mastered the mechanical aspect of a character over a thousand hours but haven't spent the time to master teamwork, gamesense, etc through endless gameplay analysis, coach feedback, scrim matches, etc. Most pros cant be good at just one hero otherwise they will be countered and lose their team the game, meaning they have to prioritise their time for the highest value, which will always be positioning, space creation, game sense, team support, awareness of enemy, pick choice, etc, so while their technique is definitely good, it's far from mastered since they just don't have the time to, since they aren't a onetrick. The difference comes in with dps where abilities are simplified and the focus is less on the whole meta game and more focused towards getting kills. The best representation of the difference between high mechanical skill GM players and pros is just looking at Lucio. Lucio in GM is absolutely absurd in its technical complexity, but Lucio gets so much value from being acutely aware of everything going on in the game, that the pros spend endless hours learning that over wall ride and boop techs that help in niche cases.

[@nexesses1548]

No bro, listen. I loved dragons S4, I think it was the highest level of OW reached up until that point and probably the highest level of team play ever but my man Junbin’s ball is in a tier of its own on ball. His ball is just another level, last year when ball was considered the worst tank in the game he just pulled it out in hard Winston meta’s, in orisa hog meta’s, in doom meta’s and he just absolutely dominated everyone to the point he stole many POTM from Heesang. Now imagine if said hero is meta like it was in 2021. I am so high on this guy, I would have picked him over Max if I was a coach. And max is the most sought after rookie this year even over heesang and the first player said to be able to match hanbin one day. I think he is gonna be at worst top 5 in the league. Ps. for everyone screaming ranked ball players names. Junbin can do every single tech they can, he just likes to stick with the things that are consistent and applicable against any and all competition including owl and that aren’t situational. Ball, yeetle, chazm… all nice… aren’t Junbin. That’s one of the things that makes him an owl player and then only ranked players.

[@jonathanteo198]

"You should always flank as ball to create an advantageous position for your team while you keep the backline busy." Funny how that's not how the team sees it 90% of the time in pubs so they never capitalize on the space. gahh

[@nexesses1548]

Luckily if you are low enough in rank that they actually don’t capitalize you can solo carry anyways so that’s good

[@blaynegreiner9365]

This is one reason people have such a hard time climbing. The most optimal way to play a hero in T500 (Basically the most optimal way to play period) is very sadly not the most optimal way to play at all the other ranks. It is one of the core issues at the heart of competitive in OW. You have to play a hero suboptimally in a lower rank to account for the other players who are also low rank, which then creates bad habits once you climb to the next rank. Basically unless you are hitscan and just trying to click heads/zone, you are having to adapt the way you play at every new rank lol For instance on Rein, you should be swinging more often than not, but that is a surefire way to feed in mid ranks if teams aren't capitalizing on space being made, support cooldowns being rotated properly, etc.

[@jaycgaming2606]

Maybe a hot take, but as someone who is in mid masters, wrecking ball is damn annoying and wishes he was never in the game. Like ball gets so much potential and ult charge out of his abilities, and once you think you’re about to finally kill him, he shields up and runs aways. When comparing the other dive tanks, dva Winston and Doomfist don’t have a lifesaving ability. Sure, while they have “escape” abilities, like jumping, flying, or uppercutting/slamming, wrecking ball just gets like 500 shield and can escape with ease. The other three tanks would rely on their healers to keep them alive to either retreat or stay in the fight, but it’s fundamentally wrong with ball. Ball doesn’t really need supports if he knows what he’s doing. Can anybody else relate?
