Role q: 2 whiney little dps players who blame their team every time they lose and say ez every time they win Open q: 4 chad tank players who don’t have to counter swap all game long
As a Ball player, I’ve switched over to playing Open Queue almost exclusively. You are just freed up to do more fun Ball things compared to role queue. I got Rank 17 last season in open queue playing Ball only NA.
@@megamecha100 ya that’s sucks as Ball but also there’s is just way less CC and hard countering for Ball happening on Open Queue. Plus since your team has so many tanks you can go off and do Ball things and your team won’t melt before you can even set up.
@@greatwhitnorthi also enjoy the synergy that open Q gives, like being able to get a zarya bubble while you slam, or a d.va matrixing your target so they can’t get healed
@@greatwhitnorth yeah cba to play Ball in 5v5 now - get countered by sombra/mauga/bastion after the first fight in nearly every game. Every game is just cycling through tanks you don't want to play just so you can actually play the game lol

Kraan you do an excellent job of storytelling in your videos. You effortlessly grab and keep my attention and are very entertaining. Thanks for the great vids!
@@konsti2762i play open Q on NA and once you get to GM4+, every single game is just the same 7 or 8 players, with a few random lower rank players, in every lobby. Pretty much every single game, you get the same teammates and opponents
@@deus2243 I thought they were saying Top500 was equivalent to Diamond5 skill level in role queue damn, that's so much worse that it literally is Diamond5 in it's own queue wow...
@rfewer there's no way. Anytime I've queued into OQ game I get in instantly lmaooo and ik no role selections has a lot to do with that but I rarely run into the same players.
My friends and I always talk about how morale is very important when playing games. Morale is not talked about very much, but I’ve seen that it plays a HUGE role in competitive play. It’s hard to catch yourself when your morale is slipping, but when you do, and you’re able to turn it around, the games go smoother and it is much more fun even if you lose.
These one week challenge videos are honestly the best type of content. You have a goal and you are working towards that. That is exiting to watch with all the rollercoaster of emotions of ups and downs. Please do more of these.
seeing my own battletag feels so nice. catboy was also one of the first people i avoided xD I won the game on lijang against you. unlucky that the game i won with you isn't here. WP Kraan come back to open que sometime again was a lot of fun seeing you do this love the video
This has to have been the happiest unranked to gm/Top 10 I’ve ever seen; sure you lost your mind some times but not nearly as bad as in role queue ONE OF US ONE OF US
In my opinion, open queue is more fun because you can do far more as a single player. Say your tank is dogshit? Switch to tank yourself to do the heavy lifting. It’s just much more freedom in lower ranks to change the tide of battle yourself, if there’s someone on your team that’s not playing their role well.
Open queue player here, we play Open queue to play multiple tanks, but we all still agree that 4 tanks kind of sucks to play against. Hoping the 6v6 experiment and flexible roles 5v5 will be a good middle point.
My guy has mastered the skills of making a banger video. Good job Kraan and Kraan's Editor! Edit: Btw, this editing style is crazy, just watched the whole thing and I think this the way to go Kraan, w editor.

@AntivenomOW I used to be one of the worst haha! Fun game though, played it for a little over a thousand hours and never got the hang of it but played it with my father and had some good times.
I honestly love Open Queue it is just so fun and the past few seasons ive found myself opting to play it over role queue. You sometimes get morons that cant/wont flex with what role character they play but that has always been the case in the game. Don't queue it if youre a mercy onetrick cause youre utterly a waste of space in that game mode lol.
i also like open queue more and i think, it's an underappreciated mode. most would say it's easier but it's mainly a different skill set and aim is easier
Not even a Kraan fan but this was amazing OW content - one of the best videos i've seen in some time. Need to watch the guy more often! Love from a fellow EU tank player!
for some reason high plat low diamond in open q is damn near harder than my high masters games. doesn't matter if we have a traditional single tank 2 dps 2 support comp on both teams the games and everyone in it are sm better at that rank in open que.
Been playing more open que than role the past couple seasons. I will say its 100% more fun, and makes you less tiltled in role que where everyone just plays ball and doom everygame :)

Eh not really openqueue us jsut a bunch of whiney dickheads that throw when you dont play the 3 tank 2 support
My OQ has whiney dps in them 😂
It's a free win against who runs more dps so I insta lock dps and then swap to a 3rd tank 😂
The one healer losing years off their lives from the stress
gotta love the broad generalisations
the plot of these seems pretty consistent, goes good, gets bad, you win in the end
That is gaming.
No, goes very good, gets extremely bad, dont lose hope and keep a positive mindset, gets better, win in the end.
It’s like watching a movie about a hero. Good guy wins but it was an enjoyable experience nonetheless

@kraandop can we watch all the games without edits anywhere like your nuzlock video? I would like to see it all
I fully agree, and the narration is perfectly supplemented by the effects of the editor. Both equally amazing!
This mode is just GOATS on steroids, nothing ever dies because all the tanks are giga-buffed.
they are except their hp is lower. it only works with good teams and is way worse with bad teams
@Joe_Payne but they still are stronger than OW1 tanks and have more hp. There is basically no reason to pick dps in this mode.
Tanks are nerfed in open.
damn these videos are so highly edited, and it's amazing
Appreciate it, glad you like it!
