    The scariest thing about the 6 bastions for me is that there is a chance that some poor crusader was actually put in a situation like that during the omnic crisis

    0:15 My man programmed that camera movement in the OW workshop and filmed the same scene on the green screen workshop map and the island workshop map seperately to make that edit... You deserve all of the recognition you can get, dude!

    The most effective way to shieldspin is using a trackpoint style mouse like on Thinkpad laptops. It will allow you to hold one direction and you will keep spinning indefinitely.

    Marblr will become one of most famous OW channel when OW2 gonna release or algorithm gonna recommend his videos. I'm telling ya. Presention, explaination, editing, everything on point.
  • @FroggerOW
    this content and style is so good, really excited to see what other stuff you got planned

    "This is the last thing you see before you die" please say this is just a nightmare
  • @LegendaryBrah
    Maybe the Reinhardt spinning is doing for a tactical reason beyond my comprehension but he gets the bonus of me being distracted because I’m laughing my ass off by it
  • @shizumeru_
    Every game has one YouTuber that goes above and beyond with game mechanic videos and I'm pretty sure this is it. Keep going man, you can start the wave others will ride on and be at the top months before release.
  • @cyarutchiii
    "Oh boy, new Marblr video" is gonna be one of the most common sentences said in the OW community
  • @Ir1s20
    The editing, voice over and content of these videos are on point, it almost feels like a documentary, amazing work
  • @JeffreyHage
    I have always wondered if the Overwatch engine favors flickshots somehow. Yanking your mouse 360 degrees at the speed of light somehow headshots an incoming tracer. More often then you'd expect. Is this something you can test @Marblr?
  • @trhtkk
    Marblr really reminds me of shounic. and even though I dont play OW anymore, the format and clean editing still make his videos fun to watch.
  • @sqwimpy-4
    No wonder they almost lost the battle of Eichenwalde.
  • @cromanticheer
    Ahahaha your editing in this was delightful. Loved the buildup to Rein shield-spinning...only to have him shredded in the same amount of time (complete with the music cutting out). Also, love the use of the Kirby 64 soundtrack. The music works really well with your video style.
  • @dan.itself
    Finally some high quality ow content with explanations and editing! Keep it up and u gonna be famous!
  • @prathmeshpande
    The quality of detail, both visually and informatively, is insanely good! I've enjoyed all of your overwatch videos so far.
  • @carterbot8472
    How did you go from a unknown minecraft player to a high production overwatch Mythbuster in the making? The editing and style is very nice man, also have a good day :)
  • @rabalder6705
    The quality of the content is incredible. You really deserve more popularity you explain things really well and everything just feels so polished. Good job i hope you continue!
  • @jrodd13
    These videos are so high quality dude, you're like AsumSaus but for Overwatch instead of Melee. Keep it up! :)
