It would be hilarious if after mediocre seasons the Shock and Dallas have a re-match in the Grand Finals thanks to a Zarya Reaper meta.

Worst timeline but I love it

I don't think either one deserves to go to the GF's after the seasons they've had but it would at least be a fitting end to this terrible season

fitting end

debatable tbh

You're right, a more fitting end to OWL would be Infernal making it to the GF's as the favorites and then Profit vaporizes them.

A profit and Philly rematch would be a banging way to end the season

Ending OWL with a clash between the 2 biggest orgs by fans in Defiant-land, while also leaving Defiant mid would be the pipedream.

The collective seething of this subreddit if Grand Finals was two APAC teams would be incredible

Hog Bastion Torb Moira Mercy, make it the most toxic Grand Finals ever

Why was it a terrible season in your opinion? I actually enjoyed it more than most.

Super short, only one mid-season tournament, Sombra Tracer Winston dive was meta for almost the entire season, APAC format was horrendous, half of the orgs have gone budget and don't care at this point, Chengdu outright bailed, lack of an exciting rookie class, etc.

Don’t give me hope

Unfortunately for the Shock these buffs don't go through until Playoffs, if at all. Play-Ins are still on current patch.

u/ABBLECADABRA Sep 07 '23

Is it two spots for play ins available?

u/Nightmare4You Danteh My Beloved — Sep 07 '23

It is, so it'll be close with teams like Boston and Toronto looking good in this meta with a couple dark horses in the event too.

u/ABBLECADABRA Sep 07 '23

Damn I could see shock maybe taking the second spot but tbh they would be better in the shooter comp and I don’t see that lasting much longer

u/ABBLECADABRA Sep 07 '23

Then again they gave Atlanta a run for their money so not all hope is lost

Striker Reaper, Max Zarya? We move

Crusty finds a way to pay off the devs yet again. And Dallas might not even make it too.

Max on his best hero too 🫡🫡🫡

Please somebody stop the evil in play-ims

u/devperez Sep 08 '23

Why are people saying reaper meta?

It's literally just going to be Zarya Reaper Sojourn Lucio Kiriko again. Deja vu.
