- How did you come up with the name “Yeatle”?
- there was an episode of the cartoon show spongebob where Patrick shouts out the iconic phrase “leedle leedle lee”
- trying to come up with a unique word I start to replace the first letter in leedle and eventually came across “yeedle”
- which doesn’t look good or roll off the tongue well but one way or another it becomes “yeatle”.
- Do you stream full-time?
- Yes, I am a full time streamer who probably wouldn’t exist on YouTube if it weren’t for the good people that support me on twitch.
- So if you enjoy my videos consider supporting them at www.twitch.tv/yeatle
- Has anyone ever told you that you look like…
- yes. yes they have told me.
- Why Ludicolo?
- Honestly, I just find his facial expression very relatable
- Previous FPS experience?
- I was a console pleb who played halo casually before overwatch.
- Overwatch is my first PC FPS game.
- Who did you play before ball?
- I didn’t play PC overwatch until season 2 which at the time I was a diamond rein main who was formerly a reddit lucio on console.
- Slowly but surely I realized my calling as an OFFTANK player and in season 5 I got GM, season 6 I ran it down main on DPS
- and season 7 onwards I bounce in and out of 4500. Then wrecking ball comes out and the rest is history.
- Sometimes I’ll still play offtank on my alt account yeatlet for the funsies.
- What made you start playing ball?
- I thought ball would be an offtank so I made it my goal to try and be the best.
- How many hours do you have on ball?
- At this point in time I have at least 1000 hours on him.
- Do you ever get bored of playing ball?
- Yes, but boredom comes and goes.
- Anyone who says they don’t get bored of playing one hero all day just hasn’t played enough.
- Do you do coaching?
- I used to do coaching but not anymore, I’d rather be streaming or making a video.
- Favorite OWL team?
- I was a fan of the OG seoul dynasty roster just because it was practically the OWWC korean team
- and the black and gold pattern was easily the coolest but now in days I don’t keep up with OWL.
- Would you ever go pro?
- I probably wouldn’t turn down a good offer but I definitely don’t plan on grinding path to pro.
- Any tips for x player trying to get out of x rank?
- Yes, watch my videos and play the game a lot.
- Best tanks with ball?
- I always tell my teammates to pick their best tank because that’s what wins ranked games.
- I also think every tank has good synergy with ball in the right context.
- But if I had to give an A or B answer I’d say Winston.
- How to play vs sombra?
- Keep track of her. If you know where she’s at you can cancel hack or go the other way.
- If she’s invisible she’ll have to de-stealth to hack you which in most cases should give you enough time to use all your abilities
- and at that point a hack won’t really matter.
- Best ball map?
- The best ball map is Lijiang Tower. Why? Because we never lose on Lijiang baby LETS GO.
- But in all seriousness most KOTH maps are the best ball maps, being the fastest hero in the game Wrecking Ball has a massive advantage
- in the first fight. He can scout what the enemy team is running, where they’re going and as an added bonus
- he can boop them somewhere they don’t want to be.
- Worst ball map?
- The difficulty of a map can change greatly depending on what teams are running but I think for me personally
- Havana, Rialto and Kings Row are my lowest winrate maps.
- Both Havana and Rialto have phases with some of the best sniper sightlines in the game
- as for King’s Row I find it harder to isolate people.
- When to swap off ball?
- If you’re not winning and you think swapping will make you win then that’s probably a good time to swap.
- Keybinds/Settings/Specs/Mouse/Sens for ball?
- all my keybinds are default. I play the game on all low settings,
- render scale 75% and all other settings are available if you type the command for them in chat.
- !settings !specs !mouse !sens
- What buffs/nerfs does ball need?
- I think Wrecking Ball is in a good spot. I wouldn’t touch him unless he becomes a must pick.
- But if I can sneak some buffs in his reload resetting in between forms would be gone
- and both minefield and adaptive shields would have zero cast time.
