The ENTIRE History of Experimental in Overwatch

[@mercyI_I]

Thank you all for watching Experimental well it might be gone was a super fun game mode that well is now pretty much just quickplay hacked was still a blast to try out all these wacky changes. Let me know what other kinds of videos ideas you wanna see and subscribe if you at least kind of enjoyed this lmao

[@acyer2272]

the support sym is just illiari

[@mercyI_I]

True

[@polar6066]

a worse illari at that

[@dedalomusic]

I started playing Overwatch with OW2 last year and I find stuff from OW1 so interesting and fascinating. I've seen countless videos exploring how heroes changed over the years, but this was the first time someone showed what the experimental mode was and its changes. Thank you for the very fun video :)

[@mercyI_I]

No problem man looking back on the past is always super fun I’m glad u liked it

[@verguco6051]

you have no idea what you missed

[@mercyI_I]

@@verguco6051 🥲

[@TheDragolf]

It's so interesting to see these now and how many actually did make it into the game. Rein's double firestrike and hammer damage, Moira's Fade as Suzu, Sym's healing turrets in Pylon. Gosh I hope we see more of these at some point and get to test out more future abilities.

[@mercyI_I]

@@TheDragolf yeah it’s really awesome to see

[@Crusader-x2r]

Never thought I would see the day that the experimental patches were more reasonable than the actual patch’s

[@mercyI_I]

Lmfaooo

[@polar6066]

thats a stretch

[@TheJonesdude]

Huh, The Moira fade is basically an early Shuzu

[@daddychristmas9257]

Same for alot of them. Sym turrets healing wasn an early illari Hog AOE breather was early mauga

[@mercyI_I]

Yeah it’s really cool to see all the early forms of abilities

[@yesithernandez2291]

That's what I thought

[@toazel8679]

2:06 - Yeah, but that was because everybody had their HP increased. Back in the experimental most squishies were still at 200

[@mercyI_I]

@@toazel8679 I know I agree his damage diff needed to be brought up more just a thing that 6v6ers could point out about the state of the game but I agree and it doesn’t feel broken at all or anything like that

[@wlithghost7550]

KIriko : my suzu is very useful, it makes teamates immune to anything !!!!!!!!! Me: Laugh in experimental moira fade

[@mercyI_I]

If fade worked like that it would actually be so op not only is it on like a 6 sec cooldown half of what kiri’s is it also gives Moria that super nice movement.

[@patc9185]

STOP Imagine flinging mei with Lifeweaver into the enemy team and she kills them with ice block

[@mercyI_I]

that would be actually so insane and super fuckin funny

[@cd7677]

Brother that's just season 9 ball

[@incomplet1396]

Nowadays the normal game feels like an experimental card with all the crazy changes they do

[@mercyI_I]

Ya with things like the giga tank buffs it’s the Wild West

[@verguco6051]

they relased ow2 without any test and hope extreme patches on quick sucession somehow will work and save the game

[@gavinator1775]

Ok Lucio beat one needs to be in the normal game

[@ley_0304]

and there will be ajax every 2 games💀

[@Neogears1312]

It’s fascinating looking back on just how many of these were actually used.

[@mercyI_I]

truly especially for the new heros like mauga and illari and more

[@gorogoro6555]

my favorite one is doom's vertical rocket punch. I think it was OP but I hope they add it to the game and balance it someday

[@mercyI_I]

Yeah honestly I think with him as a tank it wouldn’t be so bad

true as someone who maybe has like 20 mins on it i wish i had played more ow1 and gotten to experience it a little more

So basically april fools

[@mercyI_I]

True tho many changes did actually come to the game in some shape or form

[@AkaiOniKing]

Reinhardt does 100, but he’s also the only tank now; saying Power Creep is a little wild when, despite having 100 damage the entire time, he felt awful for more than a year 😂 Oh and let’s include everyone now has 250 health to alleviate burst damage anyway Lol

[@mercyI_I]

you right lol obviously the reason it was increased was because of the hp change i just thought it was funny because as rein i feel like even now you dont feel like your just "accidentally" killing things unlike back then lol

[@bruh-hr1mt]

PLEASEEE do PTR too it was so fun i once got the floor is lava achievment there but it didnt register to my main server account so now even years later i still dont have the achievement lmao

[@mercyI_I]

Wait I’ve never even heard of the ptr that’s the public test region right? I’ll look into it and see if you know any places I could look that would be amazing but thank you for the idea my guy

[@WeAreSoup]

Double fire strike? That's insane.

[@mercyI_I]

Now that it’s obviously in ow2 it’s not that crazy but at the time it was kind of wild to think lmao

[@bodacious12]

​@@mercyI_Iit was actually added after it was announced, these creator experimentals came out at the end of ow1 where a lot of stuff was already known

[@mercyI_I]

@@bodacious12 oh that’s sick yeah no I knew they added a lot of stuff from this like the rein ult change but I didn’t realize just how much was added lol pretty much everything rein got was added

[@finnnnnnlol3650]

I’d honestly love for support Symmetra to come back. Not with healing turrets but it would be nice for experimental mode to return so we can actually see if other changes would be good.

[@mercyI_I]

@@finnnnnnlol3650 i agree personally I hate fighting her even tho she’s very map dependent I think her utility is unique but her beam is just annoying

[@finnnnnnlol3650]

@@mercyI_I a thought I had was to make her beam lock-on to teammates and heal. They could keep TP and they maybe could keep turrets. I would be fine replacing turrets for her old moving shield, though. This would be if she was a support.

[@mercyI_I]

@@finnnnnnlol3650 yeah I like a lot of those ideas my only thing would be the beam thing feels to similar to mercy and I feel like mercy her self is pretty linear in her design but I feel like her character leaves a lot of room to even create new abilities like she can do a lot of shit

[@polar6066]

​@@mercyI_Ithe hypocrisy in this is insane 😂 you only want symmetra to become a support so she loses her damage and becomes an easy pick to kill

[@mercyI_I]

@@verguco6051 fair tho in defense of them the quick play hacks are only like 2 days it’s really not that long at all and more people played the quick play hacked than expiremental and the devs get a better idea on what things people like and don’t like if they have more people playing it do I think they maybe should just add it back as a game mode yes but I feel like I do like that they are trying new things to shake up the game

[@verguco6051]

@@mercyI_I the excuse of using quick play is get more people to play but the they only use two days, smart move blizzard, sure a lot of data to gather in two days, what about using an special arcade mode with free rewards? i know blizzard hates the word free but some couns isnt too much to ask right?

[@StephanieMiller-r3m]

​@@mercyI_IShe lost her damage orb for an enfeebling orb. Her orbs had seperate cooldowns. Her enfeeble orb was a tiny skill shot, kind of like an Ana sleep. The orb, instead of being a normal damage orb, if you hit it direct, it would reduce the damage you deal for a few seconds. Meaning if you hit a Genji in blade, his damage was lowered so much you couldnt even really kill anything
