>"this game will die in a month" >game still

Those people are retarded if they thought anything with blizzards name will die off as fast. At worst, it will be just barely sustainable in about 4 years

I kinda wish there weren't skins and instead they had the same system as TF2

This game is going to start losing the normies and that's not even including any single player games.

I still play it from time to time and when events come around. Will probably still play it next year.

>>381225025

>insanely strong

no it's not, It's dying
Everyone I knew who played this game doesn't play it anymore
It's been out an entire year and they've only added 2 new heroes and a couple of maps


It can't hold peoples attention long. "Spam bullets down a hallway and build ultimate meter" gets old quick

>>381225025
The game is dead

It's literally just console players and dudebros that hop on with their friend every now and again.

>>381225641
This. I too would love more f2p shit in my p2p games.

>>381225768
No game to destroy

>>381225025
It will survive many more years on the Blizz branding alone.

>>381226092
>my close friends don't play anymore and therefore everyone is quitting!

Anecdotal evidence is bullshit, anon

This game is completly shit, /v/ btfo

Its a very low performance game, meaning every kid and poor Russian can play it on there toaster. It will have a lot of staying power, it also has a lot of free weekends to create more buzz. It will always be popular, even blizzards bad games like diablo and HOTS still have quite large player bases.

>>381225768
Hats destroyed TF2 because they harmed the mid-century theme and aesthetic. OW can afford to be a bit more zany.

>>381225986

Destiny 2 will probably single handedly kill this game on consoles, only people left are going to be people just playing for events and new characters that come out every six months.

>>381225986
The other two, probably, but I don't see Destiny 2 taking that many people with it. Because the only people I expect to play that are already playing Destiny 1 everyday.

I was horribly disappointed by Destiny 1, but hoped 2 would be a vast improvement. From the looks of it... I guess I'll check back when 3 comes out.

I wonder what hallway you are talking about. Most maps have a pretty nice verticality to them. How else could heroes like Pharah or Winston be viable picks.

You realise that speaking out of your own perspective isn't a good way of proving your point.

>>381226732

The entire game is just choke points. Sit there shooting at a Reinhardt shield and hope one of the enemy team is dumb enough to peek so you can get a pick.
It's just so boring

Pharah has like 1 designated flight spot per choke point so it's so obvious

I really just dislike how the game works mechanically. Going solo is useless in a ton of situations and the soft counters make a lot of fights annoying. That and the low skill ceiling of most heroes means the game doesn't really keep my interest.

Why do all these complainer threads start out with a faulty premise based on attacking people for things that nobody ever said (•ิ_•ิ)?

All the complainer threads start out this way attacking opinions that nobody holds and don't exist anywhere. ">NINTENDOFAGS SAY THAT DARK SOULS IS GARBAGE BUT IT'S WAY BETTER THAN ZELDA!!!! HERE'S WHY!" Even though nobody ever said that or thinks that. Still the threads get 450 replies anyway? ( ͡ಸ‿ಸ)━ﾟ.*･｡ﾟ

>>381227072
No wonder the game is boring for you. You're one of those fucking idiots that stands on one side of the choke and shoots all game instead of pushing or flanking.

Guess what? Almost all chokes have 2-3 flanking routes. Sometimes 4 if you get creative.

>>381225025
/v/ is rarely right about anything, why are you surprised.

>>381227739
>Almost all chokes have 2-3 flanking routes. Sometimes 4 if you get creative.

This is just an outright lie.

>>381227635
Pretty sure people to this day still think overwatch is dying.

>>381227635
A swath of people on /v/ (at least the mentally deformed phoneposters) are more interested in acting like resentful fags than playing or talking about games. /pol/ is the same shit, zero creativity, maximum lazy resentful garbage for easily-agitated idiots.

What's kind of unbelievable is why anyone with an opinion worth sharing would come here, yet you can still run into a genuinely good post here and there.

You know how Undertale fans still obsess over the game even though none of them really play it?

That's basically where Overwatch is right now.

The game is pretty much on consoles, and only remains relevant on PC due to the tie in porn.

I dumped a lot of hours into the game due to lack of other competitive online games to play.
I got to Master rank and was successful as a solo player.

I quit because the game for these reasons:
*the game is formulaic with 2/2/2 required every game
*the userbase is terrible with raging cunts who throw games at all levels of play
*autistic "mainers"
*only 1/3 of the team gets to have fun (play DPS) while the other 4 people on the team get to play babysitter for the people having fun (class-based gameplay is a cancer meme that needs to die forever, especially in the FPS genre)
*there is not 1 good map in the game. every map is "shoot into a corridor that ends in a narrow choke". biggest flaw of the game by far. all maps suck dick
*fully 1/2 of the characters in the game are not viable at a high level of play
*ultimate charge system is stupid and ruins the game if you actually understand pic related
*all of the character lore is just.. gay dude. that's the only way that i can describe it. it's just fucking gay, it's not cool or interesting, it's that tryhard "takes itself way too seriously while still being absolute shit" that really ruins everything.

Those are my reasons for quitting. Basically I only played because nothing else exists. I have big hopes for quake champions and if that fails I'll transition to playing MMOs. hopefully ashes of creation will be good

I wish they'd bring Hero stacking back into quick play.
I wanna have my 3 D.Va team back!

>>381225025
This. This SO fucking much. Overwatch has millions of players playing it at anytime (concurrent).

>>381228686
I had a lot of fun with Reinhardt though, but I think it's because he can also beat the shit out of people.

after a while you realise that every match plays out exactly the same, and if you're not a moron, you move on to something else

id probably play it more often if the designs of the kits weren't made by autismos

>>381228686
I don't play OW. What is that chart trying to convey?

>>381225025

The game is already dead. It is common to wait +3 min for a single match. And the game is barely a year old. I can't imagine how is going to be like in the next 2 years. Literally no one will be playing it.

TF2 survived due to mods. OW has no mods support. It relies solely on blizzard and their shitty updates. 2 characters/maps per year is not a good ratio for new content. The game is already feeling stale, people are dropping out and that is noticeable

>>381225025
Here's the thing, OP: /v/ is full of biased, fanboy faggot who do not look at things objectively or from a logical stand point. I cannot tell you how many faggot I've seen shit over Ryzen while praising the i9. The sooner you realize 4chan is not full of smart people, the better prepared you'll be to engage in threads

>>381227480
And almost every single 1 is filled with

>No rocket jumps
>nerf da brap hog
>an a op
And so on

I was wrong.

I honestly thought player retention was going to be an issue since it wasn't F2P, but I still get sub-20 second queues on EU regardless of the time of day.

>>381229741
You get ultimate charge for doing damage to enemies.
Healers get ultimate charge for healing allies.

Both of these things work on a ratio that is different for each character. For example, one character might charge 1% ultimate for dealing 1 damage to an enemy. Another character might charge 0.5% ultimate for dealing damage to an enemy. These ratios are toyed with for balance purposes but characters with big ultimates generally have a slower time to charge it.

What the chart shows basically is that some characters should never do damage to enemies because it feeds the enemy healer's ultimate without doing anything. They should only ever shoot to kill and anything less than that represents a total failure and setback to your team. Zenyatta is supposed to be a cool healer that heals passively and has fun while killing things but the chart shows that to play Zenyatta efficiently you should never shoot your weapon at all.

Ranked and competitive is complete garbage at master/GM ranks . Good luck trying to carry as dpS lmao

You mean no other game similar to tf2 right?

>>381230863
Blizzard has boasted 30m players. Even if we're generous and say half quit, that's still 15 million players.

Nobody in their right mind can call this game dead.

because I can't play comp without risking falling from diamond, and I can't enjoy most games anymore because Overfun is too fun

I think I've spent more time in this game waiting than actually playing.

>>381230526
and? Also Roadhog was real strong. Even when you charged him as Reinhardt to initiate a fight you were still much more likely to lose than him simply because his DPS was drastically higher than yours.

>>381231353
I can safely say overwatch as a competitive game is even worse than league which is saying something especially with each patch. otherwise you have csgo and that's despite valve not caring about the game

>>381231205


>Falling for the 30 million players PR speak.

This is a game that constantly holds free to play weekends and counts those players in these numbers. If there where 10 million people playing this game, match making would never take more than 10 seconds to fill a match.

>>381231775
Yeah. Exactly. So everything on the market right now is utter fucking shit. Thanks for backing me up in my opinion.

Still don't know why you act indignant when I choose one poop log out of the shit pile versus another poop log.

>>381231205

>not knowing what concurrent players means.

>>381232104
Matchmaking takes forever because Blizzard overthinks their matchmaking algorithm, nothing else. People want to get in games immediately, but then they'll bitch if they don't get a "fair" match or if they have some poorfag with high ping.
