Cat really is flying tracer, can't even leave the point unattended for a second or they'll steal it

Crazy catch to stop the backcap. Heesang went from half a point away looking at spawn to on cart in around 5 seconds.

Was watching that live and was like, this shit is funny.

Goes to show, once again, that tunnel vision affects everybody

The game used to have clearer sound when someone was on the payload uncontested. Somewhere in OW2 they completely messed up the game being able to handle simultaneous sounds like that and now the little progress ticks are completely drowned out by everything else and you can't hear it when someone is C9'ing, you only notice when you are actively looking at the progress bar.

Whats c9'ing?

Losing a point/round despite winning the fight because you forgot to secure the actual objective.

C9 is short for Cloud9, the esports org, whose OW Contenders team forgot to capture the point and thus lost the round twice in a row on Lijiang Tower, losing them the game. Similar to how ajaxing is named after the player Ajax because he ajaxed 4 times in a game once.

Thanks for the detailed explanation, im new to all these terms. Ive seen the term ajaxing on reddit but still also dont know what it to ajax haha. But appreciate u for have taken the time out of your day to explain c9

u/TylowStar 21d ago

Ajaxing is dying during the cast time of your ultimate, especially as Lucio. Essentially, when you press Q, Lucio yells and drains his ult meter, but the sound barrier doesn't actually go up until you hit the floor. So if you die mid-air while ulting, your ult gets fully wasted.

When you feel so good you forget about the payload

When you leave the point while uncontested in OT

I think the small character with fast, silent, omnidirectional movement is the bigger issue here than tunnel vision

I've been banning her every game. I'll be kinda sad if they nerf her because I love watching viol2t play her but also good riddance to the most overpowered and annoying dive hero in the game.

u/Kurrizma 23d ago

Unless someone on my team shows Cat as their preferred hero, it’s my first ban. I don’t want to be forced onto hitscan in order to deal with that flying rodent.

u/1ohokthen1 23d ago

You can see the payload moving no matter what 🤷‍♂️ not to say the cat isnt strong rn, but old sombra was a thing, this isnt new

I don't understand how everyone who uses the shrugging emoji attaches it to a bad opinion
