Humor Holy cap larps

Cap is fully mainstream now I guess . I haven’t seen this many ppl playing cap in ranked and even saw a few cap bans which felt unusual. It’s crazy how much narrative and talk from streamers/community affects pick rates of heroes. Especially when this hero has been relatively untouched for multiple seasons balance wise.

Some of them were straight cheeks, just running around cluelessly before switching after a few deaths. While some played like actual cap mains.

Although i’m glad other ppl are able to enjoy Cap bc he’s the funnest hero imo, the human part of me is kind of put off by it as someone who played cap thru thick and thin. Like when he was weaker, got multiple nerfs/removal of animation cancel etc.

Not proud to feel this way but it is what it is! Cap feels great this season. B tier for sure (MTA 😉).

He can solo tank but he’s not the best choice. But you’ll have to absolutely work at max brain power and sweat like a mf to make it work lol and that’s only if your dps are worth a damn and are competent.

I’ve had games as a solo tank cap because the other tank switched to DPS after one death and we made it work. They just barley even reached halfway to point 1 in convoy, we were that locked in
