I have a friend who was insanely better than me at the game a year ago when it came out. I quit a month after release and he's played and is gold frame 4 star.

I started playing a week ago and got to rank 2600 SR. He had a whole year to improve at the game and couldn't break 3500.


Literally, thousands of hours spent on this game to achieve mediocre diamond rank.

Do people just enjoy playing the game this much? Doesn't the anger of solo que cancel out the happiness you get from winning? Is it an addiction cycle?

Face it, TF2 is a pile of shit and doesnt require near as much skill as you think.
>>
>>379458765
You just described every western game ever made.
>>
>>379459518
Important shit that TF2 did better

*Maps (No emphasis on chokepoints)
*Balance between classes
*Game modes
*Characters (Personalities, Fun to play while still allowing plenty of skill ceiling, easy to pick up and play, hard to master)
*Ballistics, hitscans are top-notch on TF2, OW has NO hitscan (and if it has, it sure as fuck doesnt feel like it because of how floaty and delayed the shooting feels)
*Projectices are very debatable. people still complain about hunstman being lucksman, but compared to Hanzo, Hunstman sniper just feels better. the animation and feel of the weapon have more weight and impact.
*Overall movement of characters feels good. its not float. Every character has its weight and speed. in OW people keep spamming jump in any gunfight to avoid gunfire. This doesnt happen in TF2 since constantly jumping fucks up your movement.
*Has ammo packets. you may not think its important but it actually is. there is a reason why OW was filled with stalemates.

For the lesser important stuff
TF2 did hats better at first. Then the workshop went too far and also made dumb decisions. but at least they kept the playerbase input with community made stuff.
Taunts are funnier.
Co-op mode
Music is way more hype and interesting, All of the TF2 soundtrack is GOAT, the only good overwatch stuff i remember is probably the POTG song, nothing else.
Seasonal Events (TF2 Halloween events were always the best and interesting to look for)
Game-themed events were also great and far more fun than Overwatch custom game you play once.

>Why is OW "soulless" though, what does that even mean?
Everything about it from its design to its narrative to its mechanics is pure focus testing and demographic calculating. There is no artistic integrity involved with it whatsoever; it's an example of a video game being as western as it gets.
>>
>>379460330
You're right. It doesn't require much skill because anyone can pick up the game and play it, just like Overwatch. However, unlike Overwatch, the base level of character play is not equal to the highest level, excluding genji, hanzo and widow.

Overwatch is filled from top to bottom with binary system mechanics. It makes the game incredibly dull to play and even more boring to watch. The characters/classes you pick are more important to the outcome of the match than you are as a player. You'll never see a player demonstrate a 'style' of play because there isn't enough nuance for anyone to express themselves.

There is a reason why despite 50 gorjillion copies of the game sold the metrics for tournaments are consistently getting worse. Competitively interesting games see stream numbers for tournaments higher than stream numbers for personalities. Stream numbers for Overwatch tournaments are complete dogshit unless Blizzard puts it in the launcher so enough mouthbreathers can accidentally click on it while they try and find the play button. Otherwise streamers like Moon/Seagull dominate because a random voice that is somewhat charismatic is more interesting than the actual game.

You're in the minority because the game is very popular, no amount of reeeeeeing on 4chan will change that.

Still a retarded statement to say the game takes no skill and yet you can't prove it by getting to a high rank, then using a copout excuse like "WHY WOULD I WASTE MY TIME ON THIS GAME!", while adding another layer or irony by engaging in a thread ABOUT the game.

It's really as if you're too afraid to realise you'd make a fool of yourself if you actually tried climbing ranked in this game.

Oh well keep hiding behind anonymous because you have no backbone to support your opinions like 90% of the people here.

*Overwatch has no decent maps.
*OW Balancing status is deplorable. from 24 heroes only 8 are relevant. the other 16 are completely useless or will result in a loss regardless of your skill.
>Subjective
Dude. the maps on TF2 are CLEARLY superior in design , size and fun-factor.
Game modes are way better executed than OW mostly because of this.
>Characters being better on TF2 is subjective.
They are far more interesting and better developed than "Pixar hero #23", also everyone acting super friendly with each other, no rivarlrien between nobody thats clearly labeled as "EVIL" (Reaper, Widow and thats it.)
>Ballistics being better is subjective.
Dude. go play a round of Widowmaker, then play a round with Sniper on TF2. You´ll see what im talking about.
>There´s that word again
??? You´re not even making a point here.
>Stalemates end when someone fucks up.
Most games before Uprising update ended in a stalemate in OW thanks to the horrid map design and everyone being able to constantly fire with no real disadvantage.
>Subjetive Subjective Subjective.
Cmon now you´re not even trying.
>Who cares about Co-op
A dev who adds actual content and game modes to their game.
Face it, the game is flawed and inferior. and blizzard will do nothing to fix it because the only thing they care about is pandering to normies and tumblrites who dont play the game seriously. and also blizzard wasting money trying to make OW a serious e-sport when they still suffer UNACCEPTABLE issues like the added delay.
I Seriously doubt anything will top TF2 unless valve rises up from the abyss of jewish lazyness and makes TF3 upon this succesful formula.

Game is fucking trash. Trashcan maps with shit sightlines and tiny chokes, no movement acceleration, low skill heroes designed to counter high skill heroes(dva, winston, fat piggy), shitty community, and a virtually non-existent esports scene.

It's an objectively bad game with some tiny pockets of fun that don't remotely make it worth my time.

>>379462736
Don't you understand the dynamic between having high skill and low skill heroes / characters in a game?

High skill heroes take longer to master, but their impact is considerably higher when they're played well because they have something like high mobility and outplay potential.

Low skill heroes rely on simple tactics that can be effective, but they don't have many means of outplay or variety because their kits don't allow for it.

A good Tracer or Genji is near uncounterable, especially since Roadhog's shit is about to get slapped.

This isn't always uniformly true. Reinhardt is a meta-defining demigod and all of the difficulty in playing him comes down to having some gamesense.

On the other hand, though, I don't understand the point given in >>379462045 about how half the cast is "unusable by the community". Same generally goes for most games that feature a large pool of heroes, and even TF2, with its tight, compact design has had headaches like the Pyro, who never really found a spot for himself (puff'n'sting got nerfed to oblivion for no reason at all, his support abilities like being an Engineer's bitch are underwhelming, you can't rely on your flamethrower at all, afterburn is a garbage mechanic and no loadout exists to help it out, airblast is fun but Valve is determined to shit on it because it's not 1:1 "class identity").

Then there's stuff like Heavy, who is an utter pubstomper, but his competitive use falls into a niche and he's extremely Medic-reliant; the Spy main's answer to the fact that 10 years of a developing userbase is to completely forgo their Knife - it's Gunspy or bust, you play recon / pick; the competitive Sniper is there for the sole purpose of scoring a Medic pick - it's also the blight of pubs because of 12v12 servers that enjoy having 3-4 snipers (and spies) on each team. The Engineer is a whack-a-sentry character that often turns pubs into cancer and can feel painfully static.

There's plenty of flank classes (Scout, Spy, Pyro, maybe Gunslinger Engineer), but you could argue that only one of them is of any universal use.

The core classes are Scout, Soldier, Demoman and Medic.

If it weren't for Highlander, many classes would simply not be played, ever.

You tell me that OW games are decided by timing of ults and proper pushing, but how is that different from TF2 matches being timed around the Ubercharge?

And before we jump into hostilities - I'm genuinely curious and want to learn about that stuff, no antagonism implied.

I've played the PTR with it, the Lifesteal is very underwhelming on non-tanks, even then the souls gave you better self-sustain potential.

I don't play mccree. I'm saying I wish I could play mccree, but I'm forced to play tracer since she's pretty much the only viable dps that requires aim.

It's just a fundamental game design flaw to have heroes that are direct hard-counters to other heroes with zero counterplay. Heroes like tracer, genji and mccree are balanced soft counters to each other with outplay potential. The tanks on the other hand are complete hard counters to certain heroes. If you want to play widow or mccree, the opposing team can just pick dva and winston to completely counter you. In an ideal balanced game, the person with more individual skill should outplay the person who's less skilled, not the other way around. In overwatch this is almost never the case, with the exception of tracer, but i'm sure blizzard will get around to nerfing her, since they can't stand the idea of having hard carry heroes that require skill.

>game is over reliant on team composition vs. individual skill meaning you can't carry your team and have to luck out with non-shitty teammates
>prevalence of RPS hard counters means your survival is based heavily on what character you stumble onto as opposed to arena shooters where you can overcome the opposition through mechanical mastery
>the above also means you have to luck out with your teammates selecting the right characters as well
>ult charge of enemies is hidden from the player so you don't know if an enemy has a tide-turning ult until they whip out the Q press and kill you with it
>ultimates themselves are often RNG based in their effects, such as the projectile generation/movoment in Reaper's Death Blossom and Pharah's barrage
>this also goes for cooldowns, you can have an enemy suddenly show up out of nowhere with you unable to perform a required ability while they kill you with theirs, as opposed to traditional shooters where you can override this by stocking up on ammo via map control
>>
>>379465575
I get that you're baiting/trolling but OW actually is a MOBA. MOBA concepts such as team positioning and cooldown coordination is far more influential on the state of an organized/high level match than anything having to do with traditional FPS concepts such as mechanical movement skill or aim. (I'm not saying that is bad)

>class rock-paper-scissors is good game design in a fucking first person shooter
TF2 was bad enough about that shit as it is, but OW takes it to a whole new level.
There's a reason arena shooters are universally revered and MOBA trash isn't.

>>379465701
Shitty teammates / draft is not RNG, that is human error.

What hero you run into is also not RNG, that is just an unfortunate or fortunate experience. They were where they were and you were where you were, it was not a random element.

Knowing ult charges is NOT RNG, you have to use your general game knowledge to determine whether an enemy has one or not based on how long it's been since they last used it and how well you perceive they're doing.

Fair enough about Reaper's and Pharah's ults, but you can increase your chances of higher impact ones based on your positioning.

LIKE I SAID, knowing the enemy cooldown is NOT RNG, you need to use your game awareness to make a judgement call. Like for instance if Winston just jumped in and plopped his shield down then you know he can't jump again for 6 seconds, or if you just broke Rein's shield then he's not gonna have a moderate charge on it for some time.

Knowing when a hero is vulnerable is one of the key skill sets in OW.

The same "ELO hell" argument was perpetuated all the time by people bad at League of Legends, yet it was still possible to climb out into a high rank by just playing consistently, even if you were playing something like support that seemingly has no carrying impact.

Switch positions often. Don't be out in the open. Don't be fooled by Genji. Ult only when DVa is dead and always go straight for the healers.

Don't trust your Rein

>>379467280
Pick him for situational choke points and then switch into something different when people wise up.

Just kill people as they turn a corner. Hide. And then go brrrrapppppp.
>>
>>379467280
Played him a bit at around 4200 last season on payload maps. Sit on the payload behind a dva while your flankers force the enemy team into you. Hold left click. If you take damage go mobile and walk a few feet backwards while healing and get behind the payload.
