Yeah, I remember why I stopped playing this. Free box was just trash voice lines, as usual.
Blizzard Rep here

For real. The game is slow, and everybody is a tank/healer.
Same thing that made WoW insufferable.
But here it happened within a year. Crazy.

>Overwatch isn't Quake
Wow, who would've thought
>>377891827
Yeah the gameplay is pretty slow, they could really increase the movement speed, but another problem i have is all this waiting around at the start of a match.
But the biggest gripe i have with it is, and thats also the reason why i despise MOBAS, that you are so reliant on your teammates. To a point where the most deciding factor for a win is not your skill but the matchmaking, and thats just retarded

This. I do want some more quake though.

Genji, Tracer can make or break a team on their own.
Stupidly good Widow can as well at a regular level. As can a good tank/mercy combo. And a number of others can make or break some maps if the team is remotely passable if you are good.
Yeah game sucks. Nothing but dancing around waiting for ults to charge.

It doesn't have to be quake to be fast. Look at titanfall 2. Took a few steps backs from the first game (lower time to kill, reduced customization options for pilots and titans) but improved movement, wepaon variety, and titan variety (though I guess this is a glass half full/empty thing since each titan fills a niche isntead of you creating a loadout for it)
Also dying. In games like these, you can quickly get back to the action thanks to stafing, bunnyhopping, wallriding, etc. Die in OW? Lol, enjoy spending 10 seconds walking back to the action if you arent one of the few characters with a movement ability

6V6 No Limits was removed during the event.
I do not understand why they remove the only decent mode that's still FUN. Overwatch was not meant for competitive tryharding it was meant as a shooter in which you can bum around.
Does no-one care that no limits gets removed every fucking event?
>>377893052
And what if you get in a team with a Widow a Hanzo and torbjörn, an none of them switches?
Tough luck then, better luck next time

Its almost like its a team game not a deathmatch game.
Protip: they have a 1v1 mode in the arcade, check it out

The Total Mayhem mode is unbalanced as shit, the team on attack needs perfectly time combo ults to win team fights. I'm guessing its because the defenders can facetank, run back to the objetive super fast because of the fast ability charge and then use their defensive ults every other minute to block offensive ults.
>>377893697
Yeah Total Mayhem is just get on def team and get your lootbox progression. It's so fucking retarded that Total Mayhem gets in but No Limits is done away with. I just want to fuck around with whatever hero I want.
>>377893320
Yea I just really like Quake. Its not the only quick game around.
I just needed something to fill the team game itch. CS I never really cared for and is full of Russian Bs. TF2 never appealed to me at all for a number of reasons. L4D I always got assholes who have played the same few maps far too much or people that set me on fire.
OW is slow, but its like old WoW PvP where you bait people into using their moves stupidly while timing yours really well to win. (and like old WoW PvP its also a bit fucked for some characters, but less than WoW was) So it fills that old bit for me too.
>>377893556
Leave game, get a new one. Not terribly complicated. Or do what I do and swap to someone I want to learn, but rarely get to play because fuck it the ship is going down lets learn something or have fun.
