Video Summary - FunnyAstro: “It's the worst Overwatch meta I've ever played”

Storyline / Context

The video is an interview (OVTV) with FunnyAstro right after he finishes a long boot camp in Korea.
The discussion focuses on the current Overwatch meta, dominated by an unusual strategy: “Cat Bastion”—where Bastion is positioned/acts in the sky to create a “sky fight” versus opponents.

Cat Bastion heavily dictates team composition
- FunnyAstro describes it as effectively making ~80% of the hero roster unusable.
- As a result, teams are pushed into running a small pool of counters/compatible heroes.
The win condition becomes the “sky duel”
- Fights often come down to winning the aerial confrontation.
- Specifically: kill the enemy Bastion in the sky before your Bastion dies.
Mirroring and a “RNG” feeling
- In scrims, they needed about one scrim (maybe two) to understand how to mirror it.
- It doesn’t feel like complex “mastermind” gameplay as much as duel outcomes, timing, and execution.
Aerial dominance theme
- The interview humorously frames it as an evolution of warfare—air superiority becomes decisive.

Facing Cat Bastion
- Emphasize competitive sky control: plan around targeting and eliminating the sky Bastion.
- They tried multiple approaches in scrims (not just one fixed counter), including countering and mirroring.
Viewer tip: what “decides fights”
- The advice is to watch the kill feed to see who is dying and how the fight is swinging.
- They also admit it can feel chaotic and is hard to interpret in real time.

FunnyAstro’s take
- The comp can feel less like a standard shooter and more like a 3D strategy game.
- He compares it to playing Civ, where a key decision is where/how to place Bastion in the sky.
- He also says it offers less direct fun/agency, because the player isn’t “shooting normally” the way hitscans do.
Teamwork implications
- Communication becomes more unusual.
- There’s joking about needing extreme coordination (a “keyboard/mouse swap” gag), implying the strategy depends on tight coordination.
Quartz complaint referenced
- FunnyAstro alludes to Quartz (and Twitch chat) complaining they aren’t enjoying the match—likely because role agency differs from normal expectations.

Other common picks alongside it
- Reaper: described as a major common pick and “quite strong,” with a perk buff helping him.
- Mauga: highlighted as especially valuable because tanks can help address the sky threat—specifically Mauga and D.Va.
- Kiriko and Mauga/Reaper show up more than typical staples like Tracer/Anna.
Team-specific experimentation
- Even if Mauga is a fan favorite (and teams like KSA/others do it), they’re still testing.
- They’re “sticking with him for now” while also experimenting, since boot camp time is limited.
- D.Va is still considered viable after nerfs, mainly because she can interact with the aerial threat.

Power rankings may not shift drastically
- FunnyAstro believes teams with strong players and game understanding will still perform similarly across comps.
- He suggests Chinese teams may be weaker right now in this context because they “don’t like that hard as a region.”
Tournament target
- He expects KSA to be top three for the upcoming tournament(s).
Potential for upsets
- He mentions teams like VP and Dallas could upset by discovering something new on the patch and squeezing into the top three.
Scrims felt fairly uniform
- No single “best” opponent stood out clearly.
- Notable exceptions:
  - Dallas: a unique style, with more double-flex support and attempts to counter Cat Bastion.
  - VP: also experimenting with interesting comps.

They’re heading to Tokyo (and it’s FunnyAstro’s first time in Japan).
He asks Japanese fans to cheer for them and expresses excitement for the arena.
