A day in the life of an Overwatch Streamer

[@thomasandrade261]

I get so annoyed at seeing this, not only bc of the streamsnipers, also bc of ur teammates and the fact that u actually LOOSE THAT, if that trashy junk lose the game at least would be like "well he's trash, he loose bc of that", but when a person like him WINS feels like there's no karma or something for that bad behaviour

[@agentmaryland1239]

The way his team on New Queen Street was playing is very telling. The Brig charging in alone and then getting mad when called out for charging in alone, the Hog refusing to fall back, it's way too similar to how console Plats play.

[@residentevilfanatic7]

not the tracer getting kidnapped by roadhog at 3:16 XD

the way she looked LMAO

I died watching it 😂😂😂

1NTIW4RRIOR was so done with Gunny's shit by the end of the video, they were Battle Mercy'ing them every time you went down lol.

[@ursonbear3268]

Oy! One of the biggest issues I run into In OW is the staggering! Like how tf is a team game supposed to be played when your team is getting nailed off one by one. It’s so god damn maddening and becoming more and more prevalent in both Comp and Unranked! it’s awful!

[@diavel8552]

I’m watching this video, and I think that I should have fun watching it, but in fact, I’m very annoyed by people who engage in “Streamsniping” (Especially if they are also campers that simply connect you at spawn) And what the meaning of the actions, do they have fun with it? I’m just a person who is in a tank, explain the meaning of such actions. Thanks in advance for your answer

[@jimmyboe8246]

The meaning of such actions is dumb people exist in mass especially in video games with mass young people.

[@thetroiimaster]

There are a variety of answers, some snipers can have multiple. The only joy they get comes from others' suffering, so they streamsnipe to feel a temporary joy from a streamer who can't see their screen. They struggle to win games so they try to get into a streamer's game and streamsnipe so that it gives them an unfair advantage against at least one person on the enemy team. They want to be noticed. They want a reaction. They want something to happen for them because narcisists think that way, and they have nothing better to do with their lives. There are sure to be plenty more, but this comment is already getting long. These are the main 3 though, so you could probably think of more anyway.

[@IllIllIllIllIIIllI]

They are simply seeking attention and try to get the streamer mad because they think its funny but its just lame behavior

[@vogueisdeath2176]

Free to play caused this to happen…the concept of banning didn’t do anything

[@georgegorvaniagerge7077]

i cant play widow anymore without getting genjies and Sombras who try to target me every game i play i manage to do a lot then the enemy team starts to target me and i cant do anything Echoes, maugas, winstone, moiras and even Mercyes try to trarget me i usally try to ping someone from the enemies who is behind but most of the time nothing will happen and i cant say anything because i end up with the lowest damage in my team :( because i get spawncamped and targeted

[@easilyspookdd]

the pain i felt seeing your mercy die at 18:47 cause you left her for the kiri lmao, rip mercy

[@TheJoker-kh7fd]

If i see any of these stream snipers in any of my lobbies, i will make sure they know why i focused them the whole game. Avenge kenzo😂

[@kafkaxjean]

Me geting motivated everyday after ur vids...been 6yrs

[@original_demonic]

You talking about pressure explains exactly why I won a game as Zarya against a Zarya with double the stats. Sure, they can get picks or go for squishies, but I’m keeping people off the point and making space. I’m keeping everyone safe enough that they can do their job properly. I’m stopping flanking and pressuring them into rejoining the team. I’m keeping everyone in spots where my team can take them easily, which is something their team just wasn’t doing. Sure, I wasn’t getting a lot of damage, I was mostly playing defensive and only got grav a few times. That’s what the team needed. I needed to keep them in a certain space so I did, and that’s what I focussed on while my team did their job. And we won as a result.

[@RawTimee]

Kenzo id never do that bc i love u fr

[@Imabanana847]

Should've taken high ground last fight instead of tickling the Echo

[@dsaman123]

streamsniping a widow main and then walking forward in a straight line into obvious widow sightlines, holy shit these dudes are terrible lmao

[@tylerdwyer7620]

Must have good headphones cause i swear most time i dont hear footsteps, and when i do for some reason it sounds like it comes from wrong directions

[@acid9504]

21:13 this mercy is kinda stupid. not for her gameplay or dmg boost, but for her res decisions, esp this one girlie, wait for enemy to die and then res. she is just insta ressing in front of high charged zarya and then spamming "thanks" to her team. and people like that think that it's not their fault

[@acid9504]

that's just sad that people like that live in high ranks

[@b1nglebongled1ngledangle]

I prefer the old ow2 icons

[@CATSPAWJAMAZ]

i have a question. cant streamers like him hide when they start the game, usually stream snipers just press the reque button at the same time a streamer does. if thats how i think it happens. he could just mute and hide screen unti he starts it at a certain point. i mean that would solve the problem. honestly its blizzards job to make que matchups not dumb like this.

[@TheFakeKenzo]

We can, but it doesn't work. Only X amount of people playing in this rank so people will get it 90% of the time if they try. And I'm not gonna do like arrge and hide my screen for 15 minutes between each game so people don't know when I queue, waste of time

[@CATSPAWJAMAZ]

@@TheFakeKenzo Gotchya makes sense.

[@Vi-ys5hx]

games must be miserable like this getting targetted all the time

[@PomLamb]

I know the feeling. It is very bad. Feels like every game has one person who wants to make things personal for some reason.

[@samjohnson7325]

How is this not considered cheating?

[@cyciumx]

It is and Bliz needs to do something about it more than "Streamer mode". Games like OW get popular because of Streamers. If you do dick about it and allow them to get trolled, they will eventually leave and/or their content gets so bad they lose viewers and those viewers will lose interest in OW itself. I'm not saying it will always be easy to spot or prove, but there are clear cut cases such as this play that prove they are using stream sniping as low level wall hacks for positioning. And it is very much in Bliz's business interest to deal with it.

[@IllIllIllIllIIIllI]

I guess it is but its hard to find a solution for it, streamer mode is nice but not the best, a few days ago i found someone using it and telling others to kill themselves and some other bad stuff but we couldnt report him cuz we didnt know his real username lol

[@Balloony902]

I can’t imagine getting stream sniped every time I go live luckily I’m not a streamer 👍🏼

[@thereshaironurscreen]

giving everyone streamer mode is stupid

Should've just paused your stream though. You're not just exposing your position you're also exposing your teammates'.

@@ursonbear3268 never saw how spamming hallways and throwing all cooldowns makes a person good, junk is an easy hero due to his high damage output and simplicity to play, knowing game mechanics and maps is back of the hand knowledge to regulars players too. Not only that its how the game is played on a like half the heros but junk is pretty low on that list when it comes to effectiveness.
