go away shill
https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=8W_hKzU5XCM this is where Kaplan actually talks about it by the way, don't click on OP's link
Got a tl;dw?

TL;DW:
>Bullshit fluff that Overwatch is hard to balance
>We balance each character with a triangle, Win rate, how players feel about a character, and how the Developers feel about a character, aim for the center blah blah
>Overwatch isn't a MOBA
>>376790583
>Overwatch isn't a MOBA
but overwatch is not a moba.
you don't push waves of creeps, and you don't farm the creeps for exp/gold.
If overwatch is moba, then TF2 is moba as well.
and if so, CSGO is moba as well.
>Let's look at Symmetra
>Her winrate is high but nobody plays her
>This must mean she's overpowered but underused
No faggot, it just means that she's only good on the defending side on the first half of Assault maps, so when she's used, she's part of a team that won before the attackers pushed past the first point. If they get to pushing the second point, Symmetra is swapped out.
She was grossly underpowered in terms of viability in nearly all maps except shit like the first half of Hollywood.

Moba has pretty much become a blanket term for "game i don't like" here
>>376790583
>Overwatch isn't a moba
correct
>>376790905
My main gripe with Symmetra is her auto lock on autismo gun that shreds through anything, even around fucking corners.
I would be fine if as long as if i broke line of sight her gun wasn't on me anymore but that shit fucking follows you to the depths of hell.
>>376791048
Why are you running from her at all
>>376791213Because I am bad at aiming, especially against her tiny ass hitbox
I wonder why that justifies making Tanks as viable as they are.
>>376790583
And this makes you mad enough to create an entire thread dedicated to hating it?
It's a disney style kids game. Do you not understand that blizzard switched to disney style products?
>>376790805
>>376791026
I'm just listing major points, friends.
>>376791361
I didn't make this thread.
>>376791289
Don't forget all Symmetra players jump around and crouch like retarded monkies while easily melting you.
>See a youtube vid about overwatch
>12 voicelines that were REMOVED from Overwatch!
>Video is 11 minutes long
Holy fucking shit, why do these faggots do this
>>376789326
>Overwatch is popular
>/v/ hates it
Is anyone surprised here? How pitiful do you have to be to do this?

Overwatch is too rooted into class roles, like DPS/tank/healer etc. Almost no one can function on their own, and that's boring as fuck.
In TF2, classes played differently and had different specializations, but they were all pretty damn good at killing each other. Meanwhile in Overwatch, barriers are fucking everywhere and healers heal faster than many non-DPS can damage. It essentially boils down to trading damage for 5 minutes until everyone has their ults and uses them all at once.
TLDR It's fucking boring.
