    Lul blizzard sends skyline one email saying he knows nothing but now he comes back with a galaxy brain and unbeatable portofolio

    @chantzgaming 5 років тому +115

    That is really lame to hear that blizzard took that advice as an attack, especially when you have youtubers like Stylosa who constantly are leaking content and criticizing the balance team but still get to work with Blizzard esports

  • @JC-bd6gz
    @JC-bd6gz 5 років тому +22

    That's honestly super sad to hear that Blizzard messaged you saying that. Honestly extremely petty for a massive business.
    Glad that you're back, always loved your videos and your overall mentality.

  • @jeffmirza2893
    @jeffmirza2893 5 років тому +11

    Skyline, you have the best overwatch content on youtube, hands down. It’s positive, enlightening, helpful, insightful, objective, entertaining, creative, and it ultimately shaped the way that I view the game.
    Also, i want to emphasize that you 100% have the most positive overwatch content on youtube. Your intentions with that are received and appreciated!
    Stoked to have you back, for whichever games you decide to make videos on.

  • @HiKimiko
    @HiKimiko 5 років тому +25

    I'm sad blizzard sent you that message as a first response. They could have been more positive about all the other content you've posted. You've given them free promotion and players resources. I still use your settings videos when new patches mess up my settings.
    When I see the UA-camrs that blizzard decides to work with and the content they create, I do think they support the wrong people in the community to some extent. A lot of them are speculation channels that have their game play on repeat with voice over on their opinions. Not much of it is valuable information, useful tutorials, or have any editing quality behind them.
    I came to your channel because of Overwatch, but understand if your channel becomes more variety.
    Best wishes on your journey and its impressive to see how you've adapted to esports. ❤️👍

  • @OrpheusMC
    @OrpheusMC 5 років тому +4

    So awesome to see a new video from you. That message you got from Blizzard sounds really disturbing but I agreed 100% with your criticism about the “go big or go home” mentality they have when it comes to changing their characters. It really knocked the wind out of me and reduced the amount of fun I had playing Mercy and Symmetra when they were changed. Honestly if Moira had not been released in that timespan to fill the void I might have stopped playing altogether.
    I have a feeling you have moved far beyond Overwatch at this point but since you asked, I would love to see videos where you pick a particular pro or high ladder game and examine the gameplay. Specifically examining what their gameplay objectives are and what their thought process might be. Basically a video to help me improve me game sense lol.

  • @brentloy131
    @brentloy131 5 років тому +3

    Also Skyline... I'm super excited your back but I have to request something.
    If you're willing to do more Overwatch guides could you please do a specific hero guide for Winston.
    It's very specific and selfish of me but I learn so much more with your teachings and overall knowledge.
    Anyways, again glad you're back and you were missed.

  • @xaniso6955
    @xaniso6955 5 років тому +5

    @avargs3505 5 років тому +1

    Got lucky with the UA-cam algorithm actually recommended something recent, relevant, and great from my subscriber list!
    Glad to see you back and I'd wholeheartedly it 2nd the sentiment of you being some of the most positive OW content... It was you, prolikechro, and fitzyhere that helped me get out of bronze.. Now have 2 accounts in mid diamond and the 3rd in low diamond.
    The overlying message and what ultimately helped me improve from your content was the mental aspect.
    If anyone has ever played racquetball.. Focusing too much on the score can kill you and you could end up in a 5 or more point reverse sweep (mental games at work here)
    Anyway.. Glad to see you doing well and appreciate the honest sincerity of your return video.

  • @JiorujiDerako
    @JiorujiDerako 5 років тому +1

    I was just recently thinking "gee where did that Skyline fella go", glad to see you back! Fun fact, I've got a Razer Ornata thanks to your old keyboards video, I'm glad I saw that one. The whole "mecha-membrane" tech was never on my radar and reviews tend to be very mechanical-biased, but because of that video I found that it's basically what I was hoping for, thank you. ^^
    Looking forward to seeing what sort of content you put out, I followed for the Overwatch tips of course (and I'm sure that played a big part in drawing others in), but the idea of more gaming-in-general advice and such sounds really good. Certainly stuff like aim practice, awareness, etc are pretty universal - at least to shooters - and mentality often applies to far more.

  • @yeetman7880
    @yeetman7880 5 років тому +2

    Ive been here for a long time. 2 years ago i was in a deep depression and hated life. I discovered your videos and you really changed my mindset, not just about overwatch but irl too. You really helped my mental health for the best and Im glad your back!

  • @helloyassine
    @helloyassine 5 років тому +2

    Welcome back man; I remember when I first started playing overwatch as a gold scrub watching your videos and eventually hit top 500 then quit. Your insight was great and I'd love to see more content regarding getting better at ANY game since you've done that yourself multiple times over.

    Since you did stuff with Street Fighter, i want to see more content about fighting games in general, or the recent Under Night Inbirth game if can. There's many topics you can talk about in the fighting game community.
    Glad to have you back!

  • @shuckol
    @shuckol 5 років тому +1

    I was literally mad when you left. I joined your discord and wrote in the "ideas for videos" a message saying that you should do an explanation video, coz there were a lot of fans left behind like me, and I left the server right after.
    But man I'm happy to see you back. Thanks for having actually done it. As someone who really looks up to you and genuinely loved your videos for many different reasons, let me say I really really missed you bro.
    Welcome back 🤗.

    Welcome back Sky. All of your excellent Ana content from way back in S3 is still burned into my brain so much so that I think about it whenever I play now. glad to see both her and you come back into the meta. Regardless of where you land from a content standpoint, the mentality will be worth the sub. I look forward to it.

    @Treeniks 5 років тому

    Even after 1,5 years, whenever someone asks me how to get better at overwatch, I still, to this very day, tell them to watch your videos. You're like the ultimate teacher. You're able to break complicated matters into simple things that are very easily digestible, no matter how complicated the original matter actually is. As I'm thinking about a teaching career myself, you've always been quite a role model for me. More so, you have quite literally changed how I view life itself, so I'm glad to see you back!

    I love what you are doing and hope to see you continue doing it.

    @DiogoUsagi 5 років тому

    Good to see you back Skyline, your type of content really helped me begin to shape my perception of team composition logic, which blended effortlessly with the good educational content of the greats that became community superstars during your absence. Was really digging your Map Mastery series as well, wishing for its continuation was personally the biggest reason I never lost hope in this subscription, maybe a reboot with new insights would be cool if you consider what you learned in your journey would warrant such a thing. In either case I'm sure your content will rock be what it may.

I have always appreciated how your channel was so focused on positivity, and that was why I joined your discord. Even with the long hiatus, I met some of the best friends and community in Skycord and appreciate it more than you know. It is very disamying to hear that Blizzard tried to strongarm you over something so small. So mafia-like, yikes. Glad that you are so devoted to being true to yourself and to us listening and watching. Good luck from here on!

Maybe this overconfidence goes into the same as the "i need to be 99.999% sure" thing ;) I'm looking forward to see some insights to your work and experience, as much as some content regarding other competitive games, regardless if you can hold up to what you say you could ;) much respect and keep creating

I'm very very excited and happy to both see you back, and to anticipate for more future contents! Please forgive my poor English TAT Much Love, Skyline!

  • @Webrock
    @Webrock 5 років тому +1

    Blizzard has always been like this wolf in a sheep clothing kind of company, they have this holier than thou attitude where instead of looking at their own mistakes, they always try to point out whats wrong with the person criticizing.
    I know this from personal experience like where no matter what proof you give them they will say its your Internet thats bad.
    The two instances where I experienced this first hand were same occurrences of people getting kicked out of the match from both teams at the same time.
    First time I visited the forums where people were already complaining about this in one of the thread, that all people from both teams were getting kicked from the match, Blizzard solution was the generic port opening steps and assuming every player from random different part of world had bad internet exactly at the same time. They were just not ready to listen that if all players faced the same issue at the same time then it might be the game not the players.
    Second time when exactly same thing happened and I explained the whole issue in detail along with video proof that all 12 people from both teams were getting kicked randomly and only thing i said aggressively "Its tough when you are trying to grind in ranked and game bites you in the A**", ofcourse after that instead of focusing on all the proofs and in detailed explanation of the issue I was simply banned for saying "A**".
    This company might act as the friendliest of bunch from the outside when in reality they are just a bunch of asshole who think they are better than everyone.
    P.S. Good to see you made the best out of the shit you got from Blizzard for being constructive , awaiting more content from you.
