"Doom as a character" 😭😭😭

[@mercyI_I]

😂😂

[@smellssmell2488]

Surprised not to see doom lol. But it was really good how they all got fixed until rein. Really shows where the priorities are.

[@chrismorales7516]

@@smellssmell2488 that's not true, doom still has bugs, some of them since ow1. 71 rn: docs.google.com/document/d/1mF6gpd7oTi9YX6B45tngsy1NNPetV2FXzk9P-mbvmk0/edit#heading=h.qz1rn7daap3b (buglist)

Legend has it you can still hear Chipsa bitching and complaining to this day.

[@mercyI_I]

@@smellssmell2488 yeah if there is a part 2 to this video than doom will for sure be on it

[@Jarubimba]

Reinhardt's Gamble Shatter 50% of doing nothing 50% of ignoring barriers

[@mercyI_I]

Lmfaoooo real

[@seductiveraven4895]

Can soemeone tell me what "doom as a character." means, I thought doomfist was a character.

[@Jarubimba]

@@seductiveraven4895 "Doom as character" probably because he had and still have a list of bugs related to his kit (Rocket Punch, Seismic Slam and Meteor Strike) and how it interact with all the terrain and other abilities around it

[@TopHat_Drago]

Lore accurate sigma and the genji one should be a thing tbh

[@jonasberg3815]

would make for a neat april fools update

[@mercyI_I]

lmfao the sigma one would be crazy but the genji one lowkey wasnt that bad

[@imminent_gans]

The genji thing is how they were going to release the character, he was supposed to be permablade and a melee fast boi

[@speed9553]

@@mercyI_II mean if they nerf the speed he can move in the air I think it would be balanced because he can’t reach as far as pharah or echo

[@mercyI_I]

@@speed9553 tbh it would make him better but idk don’t think it would even make him like broken broken if it’s tunned down but idk

[@TeslaPixel]

can't believe the ow1 hog hook bugs didn't make the list, twomad treating the enemy like a fidget spinner was a good time

[@mercyI_I]

Lmao I made a video a few weeks ago about broken changes and hook was one it but even after hook 1.0 they’re was still a lot of glitches and if I make a part 2 to this that will def be on there

[@destructo3457]

Yeah but screw that guy

[@jrod9918]

Man these bugs are kinda nostalgic. I remembered almost every single one.

[@mercyI_I]

real

[@stitchperlo9639]

I wish I could be nostalgic about them, rein is till bugged

[@Shuruia]

I'm almost certain Blizzard intentionally designed Orisa's orb to tag through walls from the beginning since Zarya's also been able to do this since forever. It feels like they either forgot or simply tried playing it off as though it was a bug.

[@mercyI_I]

Honestly I agree i feel like they didn’t think it would be broken until a player with more than 5 brain cells tried it for 5 mins

[@genjishimada4426]

Yeah. I was surprised to hear it was a “bug”

[@nonnag4752]

Anyone else remember the Mei ice wall bug that tilted your character on their side and you could jump to the skybox? I remember being in class when it was discovered, but it was hotfixed by the time I got home :( Also the invisible turret bug when you threw torb's turret on top of Mei's ice block. This game has so many fun bugs

[@OctoCorn]

also there was one that literally no one remembers from December of 2020 where that was one of the few instances in Overwatch 1 where they temporarily removed a hero. D.Va had a bug with her eject which would literally make her invincible. They literally took one day to patch it but Bastion was out for weeks after his ult bug. kzbin.info/www/bejne/eZzZnGelotyipposi=w0kD5Hkv4v42FMiq

[@mercyI_I]

Lmao same with characters like mei in ow2 who got removed for like a week as well

[@erickim1739]

have you seen some of the clips with bastions ult bug? even with that many shells raining down, sometimes it STILL didnt get kills lol.

[@mercyI_I]

@@erickim1739 movement creep be like lol

[@RemedieX]

Tbf, Bastions ULT bug wasn't that good. Even with all those bombs, they were slower back then to the point you could literally be dead center and walk out. He'd at most get 1 elim. A testament to how trash the ULT is. The one that was really broken was the inf Torb E

[@alexandrite2221]

My favorite bug was in the game for years, a very simple one, but I always got so much joy out of it. If you said “Hello” or “Thanks” as you died or fell off the map the enemy team would hear your death sounds over their comms as if you were their teammate. I’d always jump off the map as Ana to annoy them with her 6 second long “AAAAAAHHHHHHH!”

[@hyperise5605]

3:07 they took the flying dutchman skin too literal 😭 🤣

[@loganjacobson1027]

The rein shatter wasnt a bug, working as intended

[@mercyI_I]

What do you mean?

[@yazan_q]

@@mercyI_Isarcasm

[@fkbuddy]

But it is. Unfortunately, that shatter by Flats was blocked because the origins of the shatter are from Reins back foot. I know this because Ive had plenty of shatters blocked like that.

[@mercyI_I]

@@yazan_qlmao idk how I didn’t get that lol

[@yazan_q]

@@mercyI_I well now you know

[@ZeroGForce]

*Every other character:* "GO TO UNINTENDED PLACES! HAVE INFINITE ABILITIES! _NEVER DIE AGAIN!"_ *Reinhardt:* "Best I can do is make three-quarters of your abilities useless. Take it or leave it."

[@DragonEdge10]

I mean, you forget when Skyshatter was a thing? You forget about Rein's vacuum being a coin flip between launching someone you should've pinned to the statosphere or sucking someone from a mile away into it? Not saying he's generally shafted, but his glitches were kinda nutty when in his favour, which was more often than not.

[@ZeroGForce]

@@DragonEdge10 "Forget"? Buddy, Rein's pin is *_still_* like that eight years and three rework attempts later. That's not a bug, it's a feature at this point. As for "Skyshatter", I remember it well. I remember when Shatter had a 2-meter climb threshold to creep up things like stairs, cars and barricades, the payload, small buildings, etc... then I think they nerfed it down to 1 meter, and excluding flyers, a handful of characters can just _jump_ over Shatter as if they had Bap's Exo-Boots. I think we're living in two different realities, because for as long as I've been playing the game, Rein's always been a bit broken and usually worse off for it.

[@DragonEdge10]

@@ZeroGForce Man, stupid Rein charge lmao 🫠 Honestly I firmly believe that Rein's ability are somehow coded to make everyone's life more miserable in the funniest way possible, which means if you're playing him you'll get shit on by a point blank shatter missing and if you're playing against him you'll get killed because he slammed into the wall 5 meters to your right and you happened to look at him a bit funny

[@tobiaskoran6787]

Symmetra indestructible shield gen/TP (inside Junkertown map geometry) Symmetra indestructible turrets Symmetra fake shield gen (places the base only when used but does not grant shields) Symmetra TP teleporting you to the centre of the map Symmetra turret wall climb Symmetra turrets microwaving you through walls Symmetra using TP on slanted Mei ice wall to permanently tilt allies and give them flight And finally... Symmetra causing every teammate to flame you for literally anything prior to her rework into the damage role.

[@mercyI_I]

Lmao if I make a part 2 to this there’s going to be like a 3 min part just about sym lmao idk how she escaped this video lol

[@PhazoPrimePirate]

Nice vid, Flappymaxxing could have been included in the Genji Movement section, but to be fair it's a pretty recent thing. Also, does anybody else remember other objective based glitches like the cart auto pushing through a door and making teams lose since they couldn't contest or when points would say 100% captured but wouldn't give the team the cap? Also entire matches just shutting down mid-game and moving the entire lobby to a new map lol

[@darkhero7283]

don't forget the torp double E, when he about to finish the first E he can prest again and it will activate with only 5s cooldown, its was on same time with bastone ult's but people just didn't talk about it to much cuz bastone was the big deal that time

[@dueler8281]

I was eating cereal while watching this and seeing the flying sigma and just picturing what that would look like in game made me spit my cereal out laughing so hard

[@mercyI_I]

lmfaooo i remember using that glitch in the practice range and i just started dying laughing

[@frankie494]

even with that Overwatch has been the least glitchiest game with them happening like every 1 out of 150 games and you wouldnt even notice em LOL probably the most common is T-posing or all characters being invisible on your screen

[@mercyI_I]

True people give them shit but it’s honestly not that bad it’s just funny honestly

[@jpbird8432]

This is kinda like a love letter to the game, amazing work!

[@mercyI_I]

thank you my brotha

[@Sizzyl]

smh u missed the bug that made mei start levitating when she used ice block that existed for about 6 hours back in 2018. can't believe you missed that one (this was a very real bug that I was lucky enough to experience)

[@foxway7841]

4:32 Bayonetta Moon River was a jump scare😭 thank you so much ❤

[@bayleaf3977]

I was pleasantly surprised by the Bayonetta music c:

[@mercyI_I]

W track 💪

[@candybetta4061]

Rein wallbang shatter, roadhog's 'new' ult doing even more dps with mouse wheel was funny, genji flappymaxxing

[@chefasian]

Love the heeew-like editing! Havent seen something like that done before in overwatch!

[@mercyI_I]

i love heeew honestly i didnt even realize it but your right thank you my guy

[@Slimeonian]

Aaa man it was great seeing some of these again

[@lofenix_c0p3r19]

A smash is broken type overwatch video is something i never knew i needed considering all the history of overwatch in this area xd

[@mercyI_I]

lmao

[@davidlee0512]

nice editing and content. this video should deserve more view

[@mercyI_I]

Thank you so much my guy

[@ganr1034]

great video! The video gave me the feeling of "melee is broken", I hope you make more compilations like this

[@mercyI_I]

thank you i loved his videos for smash bros so im turning it into an overwatch style

[@FiddleGibbons]

One of my absolute favorites was the Lucioball glitch in 2016 where, with precise timing, you could use a bug to bring up hero select and it chose a random hero instead of Lucio. I have footage of Reaper (and other heroes) massacring the field and getting play of the game LOL.

[@GummyDinosaursify]

You forgot the 180 shield flip glitch. That was the most annoying, game breaking bug... And it took them 8 months to fix it. Silently. They didn't even acknowledge it was a thing.

[@theblackunicorn261]

I managed to figure out how to do the infinite bastion ult pretty consistantly, and it was the funniest 3 days

[@mercyI_I]

Shit was ww111 lmao

[@d1ament]

TORB INFINITE TURRETS??? HELLO??? NO MENTION...

[@MrHastygamer]

Honestly they do a decent job at preventing bugs considering how many characters and interactions there are. I still remember the mei wall tilt glitch from ow 1 that was the OG

[@Arki_Green]

Le gasp! I do not see the mystery hero emote glitch here. Shame, that’s my favorite bug in the game and made that game mode 100% better

[@devonsuckling5656]

And now with venture we got across the map drill with venture and doom! What you essentially gotta do to make it happen is punch venture while she does her drill dash thing and it sends her way too far.

[@shyguy354]

remember when sombra could get stuck in the payload and no one could dislodge it she contested endlessly

[@rampagebros3533]

You should research that bug where if ball slammed on payload while it was moving it would crash the game for everyone around him. It was only in the game for 2 days so there might not be much footage but holy hell was it funny.

[@teegloo]

Doom by far definitely had the most bugs and glitches, some major alot small but still game changing its actually ridiculous

[@erickim1739]

I remember a brig one where if you bashed and immediately whipshot it flung you forward so far. Worst jumpscare in the game honestly.

[@StarDragonJP]

The only glitch I ever really remember having was 1 time where it resawned me on the wrong map. I think it was Illios and it put me on one of the other Illios ones, I could just see my teammates above me. Oh and the falling though the floor bug.

[@Wokeee]

btw the brig infinite shield bug was still in the game in the april fools mode this year, some guy did it my first ever game

[@razorX69]

The one i still suffer from to this day is the "Rejoin match" glitch when queuing for comp

[@vitalysuper3193]

These glitches are nothing without some funny streamer moments. Where is the flying widow clutch by dafran (mei spawn wall bug) 😂Anyway good job on the video man! Also the current hog ult hook bug is funny af.

[@averyporter6745]

There use to be a glitch where getting hit with ball ult would make people dc. I immediately got on a smurf and had a blast😂 people caught on and it was ball vs ball every game so people were constantly dc'ing and reconnecting

[@0x5error79]

When i was playing OW 2 again for a long time , i using rein and i have ultimate , when i pressed Q and they don't knock downs , i was like oh now you can jump over Rein ultimate , and that is last time i play OW2 😂

[@Thimothey]

thx for remembering me the goold old times with junk tire bug xD

[@mercyI_I]

Np my brotha

[@quantumraptor1485]

I had an old glitch where a symmetra died and her gun was still auto locking to people while she was dead on the ground and it killed 2 of us I think.

[@kealanvandort3286]

Great video, although you did miss my favourite glitch, when DVA was unkillable in her mech

[@md3vmc793]

0:42 back when blade was an ultimate not a kill meee button or a "lets start a Q party " button

[@GeDUSK]

Hello, can you please tell me the name of the song playing in your last video, during the mercy bit.

I miss the menu bug where you could show up on other peoples screens if you were in the right space, good times

[@cringe1462]

i wish junk droptire was still a thing, just with the hitbox so its counterable. also, as a ball main, i can confirm that ball reduced HP bug is now a feature

[@mercyI_I]

Yeah lowkey i don’t even play junkrat but i feel like drop tire felt more like a tech rather than a bug

"Doom as a character" yeah thats about right

The infinite bastion ult was unironically so funny when it happened

[@dr.seesaw8894]

I miss the brig whipshot bug where it laubched you like a genji dash when you used it w/ bash
