Overwatch 2 Mythbusters - KIRIKO Edition

Leave your myths/questions for Kiriko for another ep and come to twitch.tv/karq to get the Legendary Kiriko skin drop! 😈

Fun fact: If you deflect an enemy Kiriko's healing, you can actually dash through them and self heal since they now belong to you and they heal their owner as well as their allies. It's a neat little trick to use in niche situations :)

Genji secretly sending heals to his teammates while still asking for healing.

For the DOT effects under kitsune rush: all the ult does is increase attack speed. Ashe dynamite fire is not an "attack", and does not get boosted. Winston and zarya get higher attack speed, but the damage itself is not changed as their clip sizes are not affected. As for echo beam, it is an "attack", and gets the attack speed boost. However, the DURATION is unchanged. So she gets more attacks in the same time, and is not limited by a clip size. It's like if you gave zarya infinite ammo but had her attack for a set time instead.

For those wondering: Kitsune Rush does not increase Widow’s sniper charge up time. But it does maker her smg faster and sounds a bit like sombras in terms of fire rate.

4:28 Zenyatta isn't invulnerable but invincible. He can still be hooked, he's physical. Protection suzu is more akin to Reaper's wraith form, you basically don't exist for the enemy team, though you are still visible

About the suzu boop protection myth, there’s actually a consistent logical explanation for it. Everybody knows Zen is Invulnerable during Transcendence, but the biggest difference that I’ve observed between trans and suzu is that Protection Suzu also seems to grant some sort of untargetable effect too. It’s like the attacks in question won’t even sense you. Any attack that would normally hit you will just pass right through you. While Zen can get “hit” but will remain unaffected by damage and most hard cc’s.

I don't know if its a bug or something but if timed correctly swift stepping onto a reaper while he is teleporting you can actually follow him(same thing can happen with sombra translocator)

5:20 This makes perfect sense logistically. Dynamite's DoT is a status effect, not an attack, thus not being increased. Winston and Zarya work like every other hero. We have to remember, you're attacking faster, not dealing more damage. Echo's, I'm pretty sure, is a bug

I heard that swift step doesn't unstick pulse bomb from you. Couple that with the iframes that kiriko gets and you can telefrag your teammates.

Maybe the Junker queen anti heal is in tandem with her bleed effect. Kiroko does cleanse the bleed so maybe that's why she also gets rid of the anti heal effect, still not sure if that would be intended tho.

That is INCREDIBLY comprehensive! Like.. hats off to you and your friends who put this together!

Idk how practical this is but, can you send blue healing papers near an ally then teleport to them and stand in front of the papers to heal yourself? I know healers automatically start healing after a bit but just a thought

Very excited to see your videos for OW2 now that it's fully out!

Thank you for all of the Kiriko videos! I’m making sure to soak everything in and so far my aim with her kunai is 50/50 but I feel proud of myself for landing those headshots but I also make sure to prioritize healing over damage too. Thank you also for your streams, I got my drops and it was pretty chill. Sorry I didn’t add to the chat but it was my first time watching your stream😅

Thanks for your tips and tricks. I truly appreciate your efforts and send folks to watch you all of the time. ♥

I had no idea about the swift step cleanse, thank you so much!

A follow up on your last one about kitsune rush charging metered abilities, what if Moira is damaging an enemy with/without kitsune rush? Since you mentioned tick based weapons (Winston/Zarya) consume ammo faster, would that cause Moira’s grasp to charge faster when damaging an enemy? What about moira healing while in kitsune rush?

Thanks man! Been playing her a LOT so I really appreciate this video.

Glad to see everyone enjoying Overwatch again. I wish all the content creators that stood by the game a very handsome amount of viewers not just for now but for the long run too. Edit: I see a lot of people having negative things to say about the game, as a long time supporter I’m just asking you all to realise it’s only just dropped and not everything’s gonna be balanced or perfect. On another note please don’t always expect every hero to be playable or viable as imo as well as being one of the reasons people loved the game so much in OW1 it’s also one of the very things that killed it.
