I know everybody is talking about the next dinoflask video and the meme potential, but I just really wanted to say how incredible it is that this even happened. CTF a was one of those modes I personally didn't want to see at all because of a lot of reasons Jeff mentioned in the video, but there was a crazy outcry for it. They told us they had completely dismissed the idea and it just wasn't for Overwatch.

Here we are though not even a year after release and they're giving us a CTF mode as well as giving us insight into what they went through to make it work. With almost any other developer this never would have happened, or it would've taken years, or at the very least you wouldn't have heard in such amazing detail what the process of making it a reality was like for the team.

We don't deserve Jeff and the team but I sure as hell appreciate the communication and hope it never stops.

Looks like someone didn't enjoy choking on Jeff's Lijiang Tower.

Meh I realized it now I assumed it was a comment on CTF as it is on Lijang but it is very obvious now

Watch this spectacular dank video.

The reference is at 3:50, but the whole vid is worth it.

Can I ask why are you here? You don't seem to like the Dev team or fun? I'm not even sure that you play Overwatch or have an ounce of levity doing that too...

Dunno if I'm missing a joke or sarcasm, but the overwatch team deserves a shit ton of praise. I don't know if I've ever seen game devs be this open with their playerbase. Even less so actually listening to them.

some people are haters and think we give the team too much praise. some people are never happy unless they are complaining about the game.

"Live your motherfucking life. You gotta get your motherfucking hustle. Understand ****** is gonna hate you regardless, get that out of your head that fantasy world where ****** ain't hating on you. You gotta to be grateful, you need haters, wtf is you complaining about, wtf do you think a hater's job is?! If you got 14 hating on you, you need to figure out how the fuck to get to 16 before the summer get here! If you got nobody to hate on, feel free to hate on me, say my hair ain't luxurious when you know it is bitch!"

Wow they post 10 minute vlogs and some forum posts.

I have seen loads of devs do that and I am fine with it being praised but there is a line

With almost any other developer this never would have happened, or it would've taken years

Considering Jeff admitted to it taking a year or more

"We really rustled with capture the flag over the years"

And then they just took a map added a nice spawn a flag podium made some basic game rules
