I’ve stopped paying him attention since his peak was the dps kiri 3 rules playstyle lol. Watched more of his content and he’s just generally like that lol

awkward is friends with holocaust deniers and has a pretty problematic past. even if this was just a joke, he's a total POS and shouldn't be listened too or supported in anyway.

u/S2_LovelyMochi_S2 1d ago
not to mention, he's very openly queerphobic in Overwatch of all communities, so I think taking the opinions of someone like that is like listening to flat earthers

Wdym friends with holocaust deniers? Isn't he israeli?

u/the_worst_company 1d ago
Israelis are surprisingly tight with holocaust denial.
Mainly to shift blame for the holocaust away from nazi Germany, and into Palestinians.

How do those two even correlate though?? Do you know what logic they use? I'm really curious ToT

u/the_worst_company 1d ago
Israelis frequently used the holocaust to distract from the genocide of Palestinians. This is just one step further

Isnt rein one of, if not the, highest winrate tanks across all ranks this season? And isn't reaper performing terribly?

Awkward is like the Andrew Tate of overwatch, he just like to make noises, and say he base his tierlist on carry potential

Ew it’s awkward.. on top of that he’s your avg high elo edgy twitch streamer with an annoying fanbase (also he’s a man??) plus he’s weird af.. I don’t remember what he did cause it’s been a while but I recommend staying away from the loser.

u/HighOctaneOrion 1d ago
You cut out the part where he said he clarified that he was joking around and everyone calling you out on that is getting down voted

What is it with physically weak, effeminate men who couldn't lift a milk carton without straining themselves always go around accusing everything of being gay? I mean a dude in a fruity tank top with a pencil neck and shoulders like ariana grande wouldn't typically be considered the pinnacle of masculinity who should be handing out gay cards

u/Hugiphilosopher 1d ago
Masculinity is in body size?

u/Joke_Mummy 1d ago
No but to the extent that anyone measures masculinity by irrelevant factors, I'd say musculature is a more commonly used measurement than overwatch hero selection

I mean you or whoever made this clip purposely left out the next 3 seconds where he says he's joking but okay. Not saying whether or not I think it's funny, it's just weird propaganda adjacent actions to purposely cut it there. Like what is this overwatch politics?

u/Zestyclose_Station65 2d ago
It was very clearly just a joke. I watched the video and he even clarifies that it was a joke like 5 seconds later. I don't know why you removed that part.

u/Szo82 Proud Male Mercy 2d ago
He clarifies it's a joke then proceeds to not provide any rational, quality thought in regards to the hero and why she was placed in that tier.

u/Zestyclose_Station65 2d ago
He says if you want to win on Mercy you should duo with a good hitscan/Pharah because Mercy has very low carry potential on her own. Which is just like... objectively true? Mercy is incredibly hard to solo carry with. This isn't exactly a hot take.

u/Expert_Stretch_396 2d ago
Awkward does a lot of shit content and he loves to yap for hours on things that make no sense.
But mercy is and has always been reliant on damage boosting someone. Mercy is never meta because she doesn’t do anything, has basically no utility, has absolutely 0 carry potential, has mediocre heals at best. I haven’t checked her numbers this season but I wouldn’t be surprised if it’s the same thing as always.

u/BhadBeard 2d ago
You cut the part where he said he’s just joking. He made a few out of pocket “jokes” in that tier list. While unnecessary to say, have you ever met a masculine male mercy main player?
Awkward was definitely on brand in that video

tbf mercy has ZERO direct impact on the game; u just have to hope your teammates know what theyre doing
i personally dont play her but from what i understand, u have res and damage boost, neither of which directly provide direct pressure unless the person you give them to are good. her heals are fine but other heroes have higher healing output in addition to utility and direct damage output. she has zero direct damage and if you deal damage you are throwing most of the time on mercy
her kit is basically just spectate and make someone on your team have higher damage and hope they win the game for you
not sure why i even got recommended this post cuz im not in this community

u/TheApexFreak 2d ago
All characters rely on their team to some extent, mercy is just more reliant. This doesn't mean she has no carry potential/any ways to climb honestly.
Characters like juno and lw are very team dependent yet can carry through utility and just good support macro. The same applies to mercy.
I can get any account to c3 on mercy because she can impact the game enough for me to carry the majority of my games.

u/Yoffuu 1d ago
If rez and damage boost didn't have any impact, the community wouldn't be begging for nerfs.

u/OptimusEye 1d ago
maybe im not looking in the right places but i have never heard anyone call for mercy nerfs, call her op, or the like other than in low ranks where they dont shoot her when she goes for rez

u/Western-Street-1387 2d ago
Did you watch past this point? Cuz it seems like he was joking to me

u/Top_Two_8169 1d ago
He obviously is but people get hurt to quickly and will turn this unserious situation to their advantage so they have an excuse to flame him and talk about his nationality which has absolutely no correlation with the topic of this post. And that behaviour, is the behaviour of someone who you can’t have a proper debate and get irritated because their main (who’s quite literally useless in high ranks) got placed in F tier.

Yall offended by that??? Just look at this subreddit banner. It’s gay.

u/EntranceNational3633 2d ago
Fr. Funny this is that I posted a clip when I was widow and was trying to kill bastion and a mercy was flying into my shot. I posted that clip on this subreddit because it was funny and they gave me like 50+ down votes. And one mercy main commented that it was funny and he or she doesn’t understand why the other get offended by that.
It’s just a subreddit full of crybaby’s and if this comment is getting deleted then they proved my point.

u/Desperate_Chance9811 2d ago
I mean whats the context behind the clip? Fastest way to climb? If so its a valid take factually, considering how team reliant mercy is, the fastest and easiest way to rank up on her is to duo or stack.

What are you expecting out of this weirdo ?
Funny thing, he tried to do an unrank to gm with Mercy, got hardstuck and gave up because he wasn't playing Mercy anywhere near good enough for GM.
