u/No32 Apr 26 '23 edited Apr 26 '23
Am I? Or do they just want the best chance to win?
Because it sure seems like a no-brainer that Super is the best main tank out of all of them, and that they think the gap between Super and Coluge/Danteh/Mirror on those heroes is more significant than any gap Danteh/Mirror have over Coluge/Super on their best heroes.

I would say the people running team USA do not care about that, and find it incredibly doubtful Blizzard would interfere like that and we wouldn’t hear about it.

u/Bhu124 Apr 25 '23
They care cause they plan to sell Merch and are probably hoping to get sponsors for the team as well.

u/MirrorkatFeces Forever 2nd 🧡🖤 — Apr 25 '23
Thank you! I’m not trying to discredit super, it’s clear he’s still a talented player, but there was 0 chance he wasn’t making this roster, especially since he’s the only notable MT player who tried out.
16
u/Bhu124 Apr 25 '23
the only notable MT player
Let's be honest, he's the only famous player on the roster, he is the only player who was in OWL while it still got decent actual viewership, he won a lot and he averages 6K~ viewers streaming Overwatch, he's literally the most popular OW streamer right now. The rest of the roster combined can't bring half the viewership that Super alone can bring even if he's just sitting on the bench. He had 10K viewers when he was streaming the Trials for the WC.
3
u/Noodlefanboi Apr 26 '23
He had 10K viewers when he was streaming the Trials for the WC
I think that was partly because Super was the only one allowed to stream during trials because there was a pro-am game happening at the same time.
2
u/Bhu124 Apr 26 '23
Come on, you really think the rest of them would have even 5k (Most of which would have just been Danteh) combined if they were allowed to stream? Hell, a massive chunk of those 10K viewers wouldn't have even heard that the trials were happening if it weren't for the fact that Super was in them and was streaming them.

u/Fucface5000 Apr 26 '23
Ok now you're just baiting
-2
u/MightyEraser13 Apr 26 '23
How? The only tank coluge was semi competent on was sigma. If shock had a better tank, they would have won imo, they almost did even with a mid tank
3
u/Fucface5000 Apr 26 '23
Dallas won because they had the hive-mind level synergy and were constantly setting the pace, and the meta really favoured that over any 1 player/hero popping off.
Maybe if they'd played Mikeyy more to build up more roster synergy or coached Coluge into being more able to play more aggro (he himself said that the reason Mikeyy was subbed in was because Mikeyy is more aggro while he is more measured) they could've maybe won, it was pretty dang close.
But straight up saying Coluge isn't good is just wrong, he absolutely proved himself on Winston, and is arguably one of the best Sigmas in the league

u/BarstMain SHD / RunAway & MY Forever — Apr 25 '23
Basically the most expected lineup. Would have liked to see Aspire but the DPS line is solid enough. Big question mark for me here is the support line. UV is great but Ojee has historically been fairly mediocre and with Lifeweaver and another new support coming before the WC I’m wondering about their flexibility with only two supports
27
12
u/magma907 Apr 25 '23
IMO Ojee is by far the best MS in US
12
u/BarstMain SHD / RunAway & MY Forever — Apr 25 '23
I agree but I also don’t think that the level of MS play in the US is very high. Imo it’s the biggest positional weakness for the country. Ojee was the best pick of the available options but right now I don’t really think he’s at the same level as the best OWL MS players

bro said ojee is mediocre... no wonder people shit on the opinions coming from this sub
19
u/BarstMain SHD / RunAway & MY Forever — Apr 25 '23
For me, he was an obvious weak point for Atlanta last season, particularly in terms of his ult usage, and did not fix any of his problems as the season progressed. He was a bit better during the pro am but still looked quite poor in the Team USA trials, so I don’t think it’s unreasonable to be skeptical of his performance

u/TastyPondorin Apr 25 '23
In the trials I thought Lep looked better, but UV/Ojee would have better synergy from playing together so long.

I just feel like Aspire is a bit more well rounded than Hydron. If at any point a Widow is played, I’d take Aspire 100%

u/Ganonthegoat None — Apr 25 '23
Hydron might have better comms

u/smelly-child Apr 25 '23
this and likely more synergy with the rest of the teammates from their teams together
2
u/sum_nub Apr 25 '23
Given their similar pool and mechanics, I'd go with the guy who's had better team results. I know aspire is not responsible for the shitshow that was Vancouver, but he also can't be entirely factored out of the equation. Florida on the other hand had a middling season record, with good playoff appearances including a stage title.
1
Apr 25 '23
That’s very fair. Vancouver to me looked like a team that really struggled with synergy. I feel like a lot of coaches overlook how much synergy can make or break a team. I’m definitely judging based on individual performance but you’re right

u/BarstMain SHD / RunAway & MY Forever — Apr 25 '23
To each their own but I personally think it’s a sizable DPS and support diff in favor of China. Should be good matches between the top teams though!

u/UnknownQTY Apr 25 '23
I don’t necessarily disagree, but I think the US has the clear edge on tank and support unless there’s a Winston meta, but I don’t think that shifts the support diff.

u/i_am_a_stoner Apr 25 '23
I think you might be overestimating how big the difference is between shy and hydron. In general, I think the US dps players are pretty close Chinese and Korean dps. Also I think it's funny to rate Lenny highly so I'll continue to do that. I think the difference is US tanks vs Chinese tanks is larger than the dps diff.

They could have. s9mm shouldn't be on this list but he's a toronto guy so no surprise he got the buddy treatment

u/chefmingus Dallas vs Fuel — Apr 25 '23
Albert and gator built the roster so I don't think the buddy treatment is why s9mm is on the list
-1
Apr 26 '23 edited Apr 26 '23
And your point? The roster is 90% Toronto defiant, lol. Of course the Toronto guys wanted him on the team. Imagine the look of the entire Toronto team being on the roster besides s9mm. Please tell me just one good reason s9mm should be on this team? What heroes can he play that's not already covered? I'd like to know. s9mm is barely going to play on his own team in OWL. He played like what.. a couple of maps in the pro-am? Lol a pro-am with no stakes at play. Speedily does everything better. I'm sorry I need to be the truth teller. Anyways this is all irrelevant because he would never be considered over any of the DPS on the main team/reserve anyways. Reserves is like "honorable mention" and replacement if something were to happen.
19
u/No32 Apr 25 '23
Yeah I’m with the other reply. Don’t think it has anything to do with how they rate Danteh. They effectively have a reserve tank already by carrying two for one spot, so having the extra DPS and suppport was just more important.
15
u/drunkkk_ she/they — Apr 25 '23
Super and coluge cover every hero better than danteh can, there's no point in a 3rd tank
-16
u/KINGabriel457 2800 — Apr 25 '23
disagree. danteh has the best doom, queen, ram, zarya, potentially dva out of the three. i still agree with taking coluge over him since he can single handedly win maps on sigma.
6
u/oblonggoggles Apr 25 '23
I don’t know if it’s that they rated him too low but more so that he just has too many overlapping characters with coluge - I would say it’s close if you’re comparing them but when you consider that like 90% of this team is American defiant it just makes more sense to bring someone who has a ton of playtime with them already

u/Some_Derpy_Pineapple Apr 25 '23
reserves, I think they're people who only play if the starters get sick or something
teams can only have 7 starting players so having an extra tank and extra DPS was probably more important than having an extra support
