This event is a Blizzard psyop to harm the 6v6 arguments. No one in their right mind has said "let's go back to vanilla OW1! The game was so much better with mass rez, soul orbs Reaper, 6 Torbs, 8 second Genji Blade, etc!"
@@nathanbally this is a completely separate event from the actual 6v6 testing, this one is purely a nostalgia thing (and it worked, necros back on ow for a bit)
@@hihigocat Who's nostalgic for vanilla OW1? If y'all are that desperate for classic OW at this point then my god, give up. I don't have rose-tinted glasses on about vanilla OW1, we are talking about a game that after like 2 months of public feedback post launch the devs had to fundamentally change the game and implement hero limits.
brother is a goody silly mode, ofc no one wants to go back to day 1 OW permanently but it is fun to play and be silly. Which was a huge appeal thing back then, the game was whacky. even if its anything on the backend its probably to test 6v6 stability in the 5v5 engine
Man, I remember reading in patch notes that Junk no longer self damages. I considered him to be OP and mained him all the time. I wasnt even close to the best but I was consistently getting golds and stopping/finishing pushes. The day they removed self damage I felt like a GOD. What I wouldnt give to go back to such simpler times...
Hey Mr Phish, I was the widow at 13:54. Never thought I would get the chance to play against you. Good luck with UA-cam and twitch! PS. Thanks for the bot movement, I suck at widow and can’t hit shit if you don’t move in a straight line.
8:12 Napoleonic Warfare Overwatch Edition, truly the rolling volleys never fail. A true french passtime Even funnier if they get Reinhard, because its stuff like this that made knights in plate armor obsolete over time despite a muskets reload time
I've been watching this channel since OW1 Beta, fell off for OW2 but this is exactly the nostalgia I needed! It's nice to hear some of these callouts and BS strats again. PLEASE do at least one "gets it done again" during this event, just for old times' sake!
i was a consistent viewer ~6-8 years ago and then personally fell off from overwatch. i was playing a new game and the bow combat reminded me of hanzo for some reason so i went and rewatched the "hanzo is a class" video which is still hilarious and then thought i should check out some of your newer stuff. this video was a perfect thing to come across and it made me so happy to still see you playing with bumbler and jenetic. glad to see you're still doing well, phish!
Everyone playing old Lucio and seeing how impossible getting the floor is lava's achievement used to be is like that Justice League movie where they all got the Flash's powers and could see how unbearable it is to deal with.
Back when OW was fun in a goofy way before it has gotten seriously competitive. How nostalgic. I miss the goofiness of OW. Hoping they'll bring back Junkenstein lab mode. It's the kind of OW I want to play.
Admittedly I never played OW1 but it's crazy that people call it "goofy" since I always thought that Overwatch was ALREADY overly serious and competitive compared to something like TF2
overwatch has always had the trouble of catering to casual vs competitive playerbases and the drop in goofiness shows it. i think they've struck a decent balance now with the limited modes and custom games and it's thanks to them that the game continues to survive otherwise it would only be the super competitive players left
I think having situational heroes in the game that excelled at one thing like the old torb, bastion and symmetra added more depth to the game, but they've all been reworked to be more generalized heroes with almost the same playstyle as most other dps characters. And bastion's tank form was much more fun compared to what it is now, just doom's meteor strike * 3. Symmetra's moving barrier and TWO ultimates was so unique. Unfortunately they're probably never gonna go back to how they were in their "prime"(I might be totally biased, I just think they were much more interesting back then and as a flanker, I loved getting hp boosts from torb and symmetra haha)
when I first played this mode my first thought after picking lucio was "wow this wall ride is ass, how did I get the achievement like this?" and then it was "wow my amp speed covers the whole map and is 2x faster"
Blizzard: People are getting a bit bored of OW2. We need something new to shake things up and get people to play again!! I know what we can do!! Something new, something never seen before!! Overwatch... Classic!
Seing all these positive comments kinda confuses me ngl, i thought the mode sucked balls - no heroes, balance or general gameplay direction, feels more like a test server more than anything. But to each their own i guess, at least people can chose now
i just realized overwatch ults are like tf2 halloween rare spells that charge at the rate of uber some offensive ults are like "i win this 1v1" cards, and it feels equally as BS as being imputum fulmenus'd pont blank
Overwatch players having to adjust to how the game used to be played: Me who hasn't cared about Overwatch since the first two years it was out: This is just normal?
As a DVa main, I can confirm... Old OW1 DVa was fucking slow and awful. Most of the characters' older versions were garbage; which is why I hated this game mode.
About Lucio wall ride, turn off both settings Wall Ride Backward and Wall Jump on Release so you can do wall jump like before however you have to spam jump 3 times
Can’t believe I watched a 2016 Saltyphish OW vid without the mop being mentioned or teabagging play
I can guarantee you on stream I went for the pre-bag spray and ult combo a bunch of times but people are just too aware nowadays
@@SaltyPhish ur spy sucks
@@SaltyPhishthat sounds like an excuse to me
@SaltyPhish skill issue smh my head
This legit felt like I was watching a 2016 OW video again. Just a six stack of friends playing the game to have as much fun together as they can. ❤
That carousel widow peek is such a legendary clip lmao.
If all 6 Zen trans my Blade I might actually uninstall holy f'k that's so rude D:
It's back! For, like... 3 weeks only.
The gamemode is going to keep coming back with more updates as it goes through the years
@LethalByte69 It shouldn't have left in the first place.
Our only hope is it remains in the code for custom lobbies.
More like, a week. Next week we go to Moth Meta, and week 3 is Goats lmao
Dude, my life has been an a constant decline since they took away Our Overwatch. If it comes back... I want it to come back.
As unbalanced as it may be in places, it's been really fun so far, and it brings back some good(?) memories of playing right around launch.

25:54 Bumbler had the best response to someone asking if it was the real Phish.
Seeing Junkrat killing himself with selfdamage is praiseless

THE UNSUCCESSFUL WINSTON DIVE 😂
I CAN FINALLY RE-EXPERIENCE AN ACTUAL FUN AND BALANCED BASTION ULT LETS GO
11:03 that is one of the craziest jokes I’ve heard in an OW video lmao

Only a shimada can control the dragons
Shimada so fat
OH MY GOD
Who are you?
7:36 "You're up against the french"
5:26 “Mr Phish…. A second Reinhardt has arrived”
You mean 35:26?
A second Reinhardt just hit the Mercy 😢
Gotta love the ragdoll at 6:27 after old flashbang
watch yo tone mf
The one favorite clip of volskaya was when lewi and twobolt were arguing if pluto was a planet
17:10 POV: You live in the middle east in 2008 n America found out about the oil
Reminds me of my first potg as Torb. In spawn. While my sentry was on the payload. Good times.
Can’t wait for phish’s PHAT mops again 😭
Conspiracy theory: they made the characters slightly worse than they were, so people won’t miss OW1 as much
men stressed
men sees 6v6 widow
men happy
11:09 How is this the second video Ive seen about how Overwatch Killed Harambe LMAO
It's a broken unbalanced mess but it is nostalgic to play this once more
best video of all time I cried laughing like 5 times holy shit
I haven't played the game at all since Overwatch 2 came out but I've been watching your videos, I forgot how much changed this is so nostalgic!
The Harambe mention was wild! xD I relived this s* within seconds.
I've been watching this channel since OW1 Beta, fell off for OW2 but this is exactly the nostalgia I needed! It's nice to hear some of these callouts and BS strats again. PLEASE do at least one "gets it done again" during this event, just for old times' sake!

3:05 Anubis was my first map ever, I played Reaper and my friend played Mercy. Fun times, I hope this game mode stays.
Should've added about 50% bit crush to your voice in order to get the OG saltyphish experience for this
4:43 someone should make a UA-cam video just about their struggle to get the achievement I bet it’d get like 14 million views.
33:54 this imploded all my organs
I’m still laughing
hearing slickery again awakened memories I didn't know I had
_this_ is fun. It can be annoying and exhausting, but it’s _fun_ I’ve missed its era of ow and I’m so happy to have it back even for a brief moment
Yeah current Ow is just kinda boring. The game is probably more balanced- but no more of that crazy chaos and nonsense that comes he OG had
Ypu know its peak 2016 OW when Phish is STILL in his NY place
12:27 man this 2fort gameplay is crazy
Everyone playing old Lucio and seeing how impossible getting the floor is lava's achievement used to be is like that Justice League movie where they all got the Flash's powers and could see how unbearable it is to deal with.
It will truly be 2016 once Salty "gets it done again".
might honestly be one of the funniest Salty Phish videos ever, i miss OW1
I forgot how terrible support felt in 2016
"Is that the real SaltyPhish" "We're all lucio, what do you think" absolute cinema
First time I've really wanted to play overwatch in 5 years
Its been gone for so long, but i still quote "come get yer armor" in any game it can pertain too
4:38 Obviously what you have to do is try to get the Lucio achievement again on Overwatch Classic. It's free content.
I wish this was a permanent game mode.
Back when OW was fun in a goofy way before it has gotten seriously competitive. How nostalgic. I miss the goofiness of OW.
Hoping they'll bring back Junkenstein lab mode. It's the kind of OW I want to play.

Junkenstein's Lab comes back every october. It just got rotated out of arcade with this patch.

Same with TF2, except the game is just on lifesupport.
"I can't believe we used to play the game like this"
"I haven't had so much fun playing OW as I have this weekend"
"THE SECOND REINDHART HAS ARRIVED" - Bumbler 2024 5:26
"EEEEEEW BROTHER EEEEEEEEW, WHATS THAT BROTHER"
I forgot how insane Lucio's speed boost was. I literally got whiplash whenever my team's lucio speed boosts
People always say Harambe dying set us on the dark timeline, but they always forget his death was directly caused by the release of Overwatch
The Zens all ulting immediately after Genji blade is hilarious
They better add this as a permanent gamemode is so unbalanced and stupid but the important part is very fun
This is how I remember overwatch. Everyonehaving fun and is not worried about SR.
17:31 do you mean McCree? There's no hero named Cass in 2016 Overwatch 🧐
when I first played this mode my first thought after picking lucio was "wow this wall ride is ass, how did I get the achievement like this?" and then it was "wow my amp speed covers the whole map and is 2x faster"
Blizzard: People are getting a bit bored of OW2. We need something new to shake things up and get people to play again!!
I know what we can do!! Something new, something never seen before!!
Overwatch... Classic!
They gotta make this permanent. So many of us OGs would come back
24:07 brother does not know about DSPStanky
4:40 your Lucio video was how I was introduced to your content years ago lol
35+ minutes of OG Overwatch and not a single reference to Phat Mops.
Seing all these positive comments kinda confuses me ngl, i thought the mode sucked balls - no heroes, balance or general gameplay direction, feels more like a test server more than anything. But to each their own i guess, at least people can chose now
I swear to god, every OW1 OG players first map was somehow temple of anubis. I remember 100% it was even mine. It's like, uncanny.
this video is so nostalgic, reminds me of the time salty was actually funny.
This brought me on a nostalgia trip to 2016. Janky Overwatch on launch was unbalanced, but crazy fun.
17:14 HE SAID THE THING
11:00 THATS CRAZY IM ACTUALLY DYING
this entire video has the energy i've been missing so much from overwatch. i've missed this so much
First unsuccessful Winston dive was wild 😂😂😂😂
I’m never taking mercy’s movement for granted ever again
The wallride relied on an engine bug which has since been fixed so it is much harder now in OW Classic than when the game first came out to wall ride.
the most nostalgic thing in this video is slickery
0:09 I HAD THE SAME FIRST QUESTION
Hanzo is a class, its lucio as a tank, its in the refrigerator, ssslide it in.
It’s so much fun to play old overwatch
THIS is what I watch Phish for 1!!!
wait that means old genji is back WE ARE SO BACK
I'm sorry but this video missed a clip of Salty dying to a scatter, i can't believe it never happened lmao
10:22 is the best bit lmao
"9/11 hasn't happened yet" is crazy, Slikery is so damn funny
God just take me back to 2016 and watching salty phish vids 😭
i just realized
overwatch ults are like tf2 halloween rare spells that charge at the rate of uber
some offensive ults are like "i win this 1v1" cards, and it feels equally as BS as being imputum fulmenus'd pont blank
"he's not gay yet" bro that was savage
Crazy to think release Overwatch pretty much has as much content as 2024 Overwatch
Classic Overwatch is amazing and super fun until legit anyone picks widow
Overwatch players having to adjust to how the game used to be played:
Me who hasn't cared about Overwatch since the first two years it was out: This is just normal?
It's back to feeling more like Team Fortress 3
Back when Overwatch was fun as hell.
Old OW is better then new OW in so many ways and no one can change that for me
As a DVa main, I can confirm... Old OW1 DVa was fucking slow and awful. Most of the characters' older versions were garbage; which is why I hated this game mode.
First Phish upload in years.
This video is pure joy
Come get yer armor!

I love how youre still talking about that lucio achievement. You really peaked on that one
I pre ordered this game for $80 back in 2016 lol. I am loving this game mode and still loving your content
U know... Despite all the clunkyness, its nice to see them having genuine fun ❤
Aint no way we’re getting “Lucio’s Impossible Achievement 3”
Heard Sym's Shield can be used on someone who already has a shield to top the shield back up when damaged
It’s crazy that I used to play 150 hp zen and occasionally get value out of it
