I missed Matt so goddamn much. You guys roast him every episode, but he’s got the best takes every single time. 1:03:49

[@LLuminated]

Matt 100% committed to the content value changes and I respect that

[@rrc1183]

This episode was actually banging good to have these along with the more serious debate style ones

[@spacecowboy7193]

Jaws being utterly unequipped to handle Matt’s memeing is so funny.

[@alexandergk9576]

Luka watching platchat to power up for game 4

There's nothing wrong with wearing socks to bed! I have poor circulation, so my feet are always cold. Socks make you not miserable until body heat transference warms up the bed. Plus, if you're sleeping with someone, it's just respectful to have a barrier protecting them from your icy digits.

[@b23beatz]

1:38:56 quad tank stopped being meta after season 4 then it was dive from 5-9 thats peak ow

[@LLuminated]

Matt's rein idea is really cool

[@rickmich18]

Just wanna highlight Johnny saying “destroy a land” when Matt asked if there was destructible environments in MTG

[@Shrimp4Gura]

I miss the Experimental Card Fart Cloud, i remember getting like 16k healing in one match cuz of the Lucio and Reaper running around with me like a mini death squad

[@ronansheikh8406]

We need to get these boys on the dev team cuz they were lowkey cooking with a lot of these changes 🔥🔥

[@b23beatz]

Matt is the MLK of the overwatch community. They may not like his ideas but he speaks truth and is a genius that will be remembered forever

What a bizarre top comment

[@juan5501]

This is an insult to civil rights across the world 😂 gj

[@enjoshiayoshitali5763]

22:27 Scissors incident lol thank me later 😅

[@lexington.]

Got a couple ideas myself, what do the sharks think? Orisa - Javelin Spin no longer boops enemies, it only eats incoming fire. Using Fortify at the same time allows Javelin Spin to boop enemies. Ramattra - Ravenous Vortex can now be activated in mid-air by pressing E a second time before the projectile hits the ground. Winston - get two leaps on cooldown similar to Zarya bubble. Distance for one leap is shortened by a half of current leap. Can effectively do a right-hand turn between leaps with this.

[@quentindaniel9541]

What about a Dungeons and Dragons Plat Chat episode? I’d pay to watch that. Or if y’all need a DM I’ll happily do that

[@InsOmnicBox]

You’ll never believe this

[@adriendesentenac]

I want Stop, Drop & Roll in Overwatch!

[@alexmiller4055]

I’ve been a magic enjoyer for 17 years you do have people that play! Good seeing Matt back and all the basketball talk and lowkey some of the changes posed were cool great epidsode!

[@DripNZ]

A Rein change I’ve been thinking about for a while is Rein should be allowed to drop shield. Every other shield tank can act simultaneously whilst their shield is up. Now, Rein’s shield has the most health. I think instead of reducing the numbers to make it more congruent with say Sigma, make it so in order to move it, he has to pick it back up. If it breaks it returns to him or he can break it like old Sombra translocator which puts it on cool-down for a bit

[@NaruBrilu]

I feel like the needler ram change could b interesting. But i would have it be like the needles stick into whoever ur shooting, then u'd have to go into nemesis form to denote it. Either by pushing a button or punching it which would "activate" the explosion or something

[@zachnoland155]

I don't think giving rein a baby amp matrix on his shield (10-15% not stacking with other sources) would be a bad change and would reduce the efficacy of just standing in front of the shield burning it down if he has teammates standing behind him. Alternatively a portion of blocked damage could be converted to overhealth incentivizing catching damage mid-fight to sustain yourself before going back to swinging.

[@RhettNae]

Matt kinda cookin with the Rein take, ngl

[@ReasonableRadio]

What sucks abt Orisa fundamentally is fortify. Spear spin can be annoying but it's fair. Spinning in then fortifying on the backline so you cant be cc'd is obnoxious and cycling defensive cooldowns encourages brick wall gameplay. If she had a separate mobility like a gallop for shift then she could be a legitimately mobile tank, whether or not they want to give her verticality

[@lush1us]

If we're borrowing from lol make the hook kinda like thresh. It doesn't drag you all the way but snares or something

[@Kanggaxx]

Bro turned Ball into Voltorb

[@alexkilgore]

Glad you guys didn't take the tank discussion seriously. I'm very disenchanted with the constant conversation and focus on fixing an unfixable problem. Meme changes are the only way for this to be entertaining.

[@takoneco]

Please do more eps like these with custa and matt im begging you

[@landenthe70s]

They should give rammatra staff the needler however it doesn't explode on its own. If the enemy is meleed after a set time being stuck it explodes for certain damage depending on needles stuck. Combo with tracer or something be cool

[@superplusextra9634]

Im still waiting on second video Johnny mention for last week.😢

[@senor135]

"i hate the balls" - Jaws, 2024

[@avariciousgaming1695]

Most tanks do good damage, but they also have weaknesses. Hard to land (Ram), tricky(Sigma), very short range(Dva, Hog), low damage(winston), etc. The main issue with tank that makes them feel bad is the massive hp difference which is a necessary evil in 5v5. In 6v6 they would have less hp and feel more punishable in 1v1 situations. Not trying to start that debate, just stating tanks have to be disproportionately strong in this format.

[@NoNameNinjaa]

Rein Change. Mostly the same. I want one change. Charge. = Rework = Kinetic Charger. Charge changed to a resource like Dva matrix. (with an option for hold to charge. This is how i use it) Lore Reasoning. Brig and torb forced the upgrade on this fool. Changing almost nothing. Making his FAVORITE ability charge him up. all of these changes, in exchange... we remove pin Kinetic charger after a minimum distance (my estimation is 2/3 of the total meter) Will empower Reinhardt's armor or weapon depending on the next input. (excluding Space. we aren't giving him verticality gamers.) Main attack (M1) Reins first strike out of his charge is an empowered Hammer looking for a nail. Mini shatter. No shatter wave. only a stun if the shatter crit marker is hit on the target. (limit 1?) Shields BACK up. M2. Reins armor channels the gathered kinetic energy into a small sheild health boost. (my guess with the numbers at 1400 i would go no higher than 300-400) (reminder We need to travel a minimum distance. healers can be too close.) Wave of fire. Firestrike. Reins firestrike can be chosen to take the excess energy and expel it in a damaging wave to all targets within (half distance of a shatter?) Only one of these can be done at a time. but its a choice. AGENCY TO CHOOSE WHAT WE DO WITH OUR BUTTONS give me cinematic Reinhardt.

[@NoNameNinjaa]

FUCK CUSTA YOU GENIOUS.

[@lolaluvv]

Gonna sound regressive here but the words “rework” and “Reinhardt” really don’t belong anywhere near each other. Reinhardt doesn’t need buffs, he needs the other heroes to be balanced. If something, anything makes a hero like Rein unworkable then Rein shouldn’t be the one to change. Like if Blizzard added 3 more cleanse/immort heroes and Ana became obsolete, don’t rework Ana, rework those immort abilities. Game balancing isn’t values-neutral- the more engaging, high skill ceiling heroes should always be the priority.

[@kristalliankka]

Custa is speaking the truth about socks in bed. It's cozy.

[@quentindaniel9541]

What about lower Hog shotgun damage and lower pig pen but give him a gas grenade that deals like 30 damage per second with like 15% slow. He’s got a gas mask why no gas grenades

[@ericcrone8768]

I actually just watched Stage 1 finals for 2019 and how enthusiastic Matt was caught me off-guard. He definitely stepped up for big moments, but it's noticeable he has lost energy with commentating lately.

[@andreanae]

I feel like we can't nitpick Marvel Rivals too much yet, as it is in alpha, not even beta

[@qpqrkjq]

The PEOPLE want DPS Doom BACK (in custom games)

[@musicxxa6678]

hog is easy to fix. make him high hp dps like bastion

[@landenthe70s]

Do these changes for all supports too and damage. It would be fuun episodes

[@kenerb654]

I’ll be honest I couldn’t sit through this episode, the more I heard them spitball changes the more it hits me that Blizz would never do anything as fun or daring , and they don’t watch content like this- so why hope? This is why I can’t tank anymore

[@tatepierson4626]

Hog sup thank Matt 🙏

[@landenthe70s]

Zarya change. Whoever shoots the bubble takes more damage from that zarya player.

[@logancutler6267]

Do not let Matt cook again

[@ReasonableRadio]

How do you enforce a non-disparagement agreement legally if they weren't actually paid to review the game? If you're allowed to talk about it how do you legally define positivity but make it a review and not some sort of free ad? If they never sold an ad spot can they be an advertiser? Such a weird concept.

PLAY COMMANDER NOW, GIVE ME EDH PLATCHAT GAMEPLAY

[@ohm_ow1726]

horrendous tank change segment. no wonder this game is struggling when you can't even take their "official" esports creators/hosts seriously. "I don't care about tank players". perfect example of how blizzard and their minìons don't care about the product anymore. plat chat used to be funny and interesting to watch. over the years, it just turned into a clown fiesta, the jokes are objectively not funny and the takes are the worst.

[@ReinforceOW]

glad you like the show!

[@ohm_ow1726]

@@ReinforceOWI want the egghead back :(

[@avariciousgaming1695]

I was disappointed in how this was a giant joke as well. Little to no good ideas.
