"Resurrect, so they have another chance to lose the duel."
Subtle savagery is the best kind

*picks reaper for poke*

For those wondering, Illari is totally a poke hero because of her deece range and easy-peasy heals.

This video is actually insane. I play all roles and sometimes I don't understand why the team just isn't working but now I have an idea how to adapt depending on what the team is. I guess I'm a dive and brawl player hahaha

If 80% of the playerbase watched this and understood it, the average level of play in comp would jump 30% or more. Crazy how much composition determines a winning team in ranked

Thanks as always yeatle :)

Never thought I'd see footage of Yeatle playing Brig. Made a big sacrifice for the educational content.

I swear I would be bronze if it wasn’t for yeatle

5:18 "So, they have another chance to lose the duel". LMAO. Yippie!

[jimothygoldfish]

Hell yeah, covering support compositions first! Hoping and praying to see less Lifeweaver and Mercy combos that will NEVER swap off.

“if I can not connect the dots, I switch” is my play style，還從沒思考過具體的組合

As a brig main who talks to other brig mains, she is either called an aggressive brawl hero or a defensive poke hero and it's really situational, very dependent on who your other support is. However, it's probably likely you want to be defensive with her, since she doesn't have as much survivability as people think.

I am a Masters player with a thousand plus hours in the game playing since the beginning and for some reason my brain didn't fully understand what poke comps were until now.

I understood it gameplay wise I guess from knowing when "we should play a comp for shield break or drawing out their resources *or poking*" or "this comp wants to hold s key left click and melt them and kite around and/or play slow" but I never attached the phrase poke comp to them fully I guess 😂

9:02 Y: you know what else starts with D?
me: deez-
Y: DIVE!
me: Oh...

[crowsader]

Brig to me is more of variation comp hero, for example in traditional dive brig is normally not a great pick but if your team is running a deep dive variation (ball, sombra, tracer) brig is pretty good for protecting the other support. and in a standard brawl comp brig isn't great but if you are running a junkerqueen variation she is a pretty strong pick since she is good at keeping junkerqueen up..

I really appreciate this video honestly. Been playing overwatch for like 5 years. I watch streamers every once in a while and I hear about these comps, but I never found an actual explanation for how they worked or who exactly is a brawl character or a rush character. I'm mostly a Mercy main, so I kinda picked up on a poke comp being good, however something really interesting happens at my rank. Rather than think about the goal of the comp, it's more about some arbitrary heal/second number my team expects. So Mercy/Zen, "We need a main healer!". I always found that odd cause for so long top 500 was just brig/zen. Thanks for the video. Overwatch needs more actual educational videos like this.

I recently got back to OW2 and I'm trying to practice each one of these "archetypes" in my QPs and tank role queues. Will pay more attention to my supports to adjust my playstyle even more and to see if I can improve my synergy with them and play accordingly.

brig isn’t only a counter pick covering comps weaknesses, shes pretty good in dive and poke pretty bad with brawl. but her main power where she really shines is in hybrid comps wether its brawl-poke or poke-dive or dive-brawl she does best in all of them.
Brawl dive example doomfist tracer cassidy or sojurn brig ana.
brawl poke example junkerqueen genji sojurn or ashe brig lucio
and poke-dive example dva tracer echo or ashe brig zen
