    Yeah, learning all the little details takes a lot of logged hours. Or playing with someone who can teach you the ins and outs. Even so, a lot of hard work to turn the mechanical into instinctual.

    Watching OWL is so hectic to me sometimes, especially when they switch to bird's eye or 3rd person pov, all I can think is how can the casters pay attention to what's going on. On the other hand when you see someone start snapping with a Widow or landing hooks with Roadhog, it just get's my fingers twitching, and makes me want to play, usually poorly lol.

    It's still crazy how a new game could be released and within less than a week, you have people already speed-running the thing. :O

    And yes, I noticed that about OWL as well. It's a little pesky how they keep changing POV, but I guess they need to cover the whole match and can't just focus on one player in particular. But my goodness, the way some people can play Tracer is INSANE. I'm just okay with her and it's rare I can actually get the darn pulse bombs to stick, but compared to these peeps, my abilities with her aren't so hot. But yeah, watching these games just makes you feel like playing them. In fact, that's why I haven't watched too much of OWL. I'd rather be playing than watching. :P
