  • Best OW podcast I’ve listened to

    It’s legitimately interesting to listen to and brings a new perspective every episode. Even though as a silver Junkrat main I don’t appreciate some of the slander, it’s still awesome.

    SVB is the goat

  • Highly recommend for Overwatch players

    Even as a filthy Silver rank Overwatch casual who can only fit a a handful of hours of gaming into a week-this has truly become one of my favorite podcasts to listen to.

    Love hearing that I’m not alone with my frustrations from people way high up in the OW food chain. Even when I don’t necessarily agree with a few of the people that have been on-I still find their perspectives interesting, and it definitely adds balance to it.

    SVB’s a great host.

  • Absolutely love this pod

    Love you SVB & the crews you bring on. Specifically tho, no offense to her, but Lemon had genuinely the worst takes I’ve ever heard on your pod & I really hope the devs do not listen to her in any way. I love know exactly what the characters I’m playing with or against are able to do & these evolving picks that you can make on characters is the least fun part of Paladins.
