| Posted: 13 Jan 2018 02:56 PM PST 1> What are the numbers under the... Those are their player/jersey numbers. Yeah, with such a small team it really isn't necessary, but it is a thing drawn from other sports. And hell, it isn't really necessary in Basketball either, but yeah. 2> Why are the teams named on cities when all the matches are... Because it creates fanbases that can do things together. Scattered fanbases are honestly a lot harder on a sport, because it becomes on online only thing instead of people celebrating at home. Also, in future seasons, they are planning on having stadiums in every city and having teams travel to home/away games just like in pro flesh and blood sports, meaning you'll be able to go see your teams home matches in person fairly easily! 3> Why is it the NYXL when all the players are... This is how all pro sports teams work. This isn't Olympic/World Cup. This is about getting the best teams playing against each other and country/city lock on players would hurt parity in the league. Letting any team sign any player means that all the teams should get to recruit from everywhere and teams should be closer together in skill. (Granted there will always be that one team (Sorry Shanghai)). 4> Why do they play the 4th match when... Tiebreaking for post season will include map points, so they are still important for long term.

| For everyone complaining about the Koreans on non-Korea based OWL teams Posted: 13 Jan 2018 05:28 PM PST Welcome to the world of any professional sports. It's like complaining about all NHL teams being comprised of mainly Canadians/Europeans or NFL/NBA being comprised of mainly African Americans. These are teams owned by people who have paid $20m (on the low end) JUST for franchising fees, so obviously they want the best players they can get.That's at least 10x the franchising fee for the current largest esport in the world League of Legends. It's just business. If you really want region-locked teams, then enjoy literal South Korean domination every. fucking. season. At least this way the stages are more interesting. And for those of you who aren't yet aware, OWL teams WILL live/play in their respective teams, and will have home/away games, once the infrastructure is in place. edit: I guess my initial post might be confusing to some, so here is /u/Nezzatic's apt summary:

| Transcribed Interview of Jeff Kaplan Answering Questions about OWL, Balance, and Hero# 27 Posted: 13 Jan 2018 06:51 AM PST PrefaceSo normally content like this isn't allowed since it's monetized content, but the questions asked during this Interview were pretty solid and the videos has Jeff Kaplan himself answering them, I've gone ahead and transcribed the video for reading and accessibility, as well as marking the time-stamp for each question. All questions are from the Your Overwatch Video except for the last one, which was provided by Overwatch Central. Here's a link to the Source Videos if you'd like to watch the whole thing: About International Teams in the Overwatch League [01:01]Q: When will we see European teams and other teams from around the world in the Overwatch League?
Overwatch League Ambition & Getting Other Countries Represented [02:26]Q: Next question is actually about Overwatch League and, the ambition of it and as well as also involving other languages including the region of South America - and how to get them all involved within the Overwatch League?
HERO #27 and How New Heroes are Developed [05:48]Q: Next up Freedo asks about the new hero and tells Jeff to blink twice if it's a tank. He did not though.
How the Development Team Arrives at the Decision to Balance Characters [08:57]Q: The next questions are I believe from the Overwatch Central guys and, they asked if Junkrat and Mercy are going to be changed much more and where their inspiration came from? Whether it's based on Pros or Community feedback.
Replay Systems and Individual Player Spectating [12:33]Q: The next question is a really good one and that's about the replay system. Are we going to be getting it in-game for the community to use in their own games? And will we be able to pick the perspective of any player that we would like to?
Region Locking Teams for Overwatch League [15:33]Q: This next question is a bit of a weird one, and it regards region locking teams.
Syncing Live Patch with Overwatch League [16:40]Q: About the patches that blizzard do and whether they balanced them versus live or matchmaking or pro play?
Jeff's Favorite Overwatch League Team [18:17]Q: What is Jeff's favorite Overwatch League team?
Fantasy League Teams [20:21]Q: The last question asked was about fantasy teams.
Pro Play Feedback for Game Balance (Overwatch Central) [05:41]Q: This goes onto the second question I suppose a lot of people wanted answering I've seen a lot of distrust and pure hatred for the Overwatch League because people think that it's taking away from the Overwatch game that Mercy and Junkrat were nerfed because of the Overwatch League which feels a bit conspiracy theory to me. But I did want to ask Jeff couple in what he thought and whether the League itself had actually changed the way that Blizzard would approach these changes and this is pretty much what Jeff Kaplan had to say.

| In Australia it is cheaper to buy 100 OWL tokens twice than it is to buy 200 OWL tokens Posted: 13 Jan 2018 01:08 AM PST 100 OWL tokens costs $7.35 and 200 OWL tokens costs $14.95, but 2x$7.35 is only $14.70. I think this is because of how they rounded it to the nearest $0.95, and is the same case for 400 OWL tokens (4x100 OWL tokens is $29.40 and 400 OWL tokens is $29.95). However it is still much cheaper to buy 900 and 2600 tokens in bulk. [link] [comments] | ||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||
| Overwatch on Console has new chat commands Posted: 13 Jan 2018 07:08 AM PST On Console, you can now make a specific button trigger: Hello, Need Healing/Buffs, Group Up, Ultimate Status, Acknowledge, and Thanks. Before you could only make a specific button trigger the Communication menu, Emotes, Voice lines and Sprays. Also, now if you make a specific button trigger one of these communication commands, you can also use the alternate communications if you do as follows: Target: Hello/Thanks/Understood and look at a player. It will come as You to (player): Hello! Ult: Say Ult Charge and look at a player. It will come as: You to (player): My ultimate is ready! Let's do this! Objective: Look at an objective and use Acknowledge. (you) want's to move the Payload! Come Here for Healing: Use Need healing/buffs and look at a player. Remember, these only work if the communication (Hello/Acknowledge etc) are used with a specific button. Will not work if done from communication wheel. Oh, and now you can also choose between Crouch and Toggle crouch, where as before Toggle crouch was the only option.
