>>385036076
I liked it at first but then everyone started playing as Hanzo and Genji.

No. I'm actually a little happy

Had a good first year but it adopted wow cycle of updates.

Heroes taking 4 months is fine but there should be a new map ever couple months.

I mean we had 1 3v3 map for how long??

>>385036076
>it's dying
Is it? I only play occasionally when I have nothing better to do, but to me it always seems the same.

>>385036076
They should have just left the balancing alone, nobody wants to have a changing meta and play styles in a hero shooter like that. Listening to people who wanted competitive and esports was also a dumb idea.

>10 million players
>Dying
Hmmmmm

I stopped playing because of the weekly 9 arcade win shit. Basically all my time on the game was being spent playing a mode that I absolutely hate so I said fuck it and stopped playing all together

Dive comp is kinda ruining the game. Meta comp in general is pretty bad for it, and the fact that blizzard is trying to balance the game between casuals and "esports pros"

I would be sad but when they removed 6v6 No Limits they removed the only playable fun mode from the game.

I feel kind of ripped off since when I bought Overwatch that mode was literally the only thing available, now they removed it from the fucking arcade. GOD I FUCKING HATE THAT DECISION THERE WAS NO REASON FOR IT FUCK YOU BLIZZARD YOUR GAME IS GONNA DIE AND YOU HAVE NO-ONE TO BLAME BUT YOURSELF.

P.S. If they put 6v6 No Limits back in as a permanent mode I'll come crawling back.

I really enjoyed the game but blizzard's approach on balance has seriously killed that enjoyment recently. I want the game to fall flat on its face now

>>385036076
I keep hearing people say it's dying, especially in the pro scene due to nothing but dive meta, but I don't understand why the average person who likes playing multiplayer shooters every now and then would have reason to stop playing it.
It's still fun, and I feel that the person who complains about lack of new content isn't satisfied enough with the core of the base game to be playing for long anyways.

How is it dying? Doesn't it have millions of players and increasing in popularity every day anymore?
I haven't paid attention to it since Sombra came out. Got disappointed to no end, I love stealth play but they made her some kind of extremely shitty Tracer with short duration cloak and a slow teleport instead.

>>385036529
All of the pro players and streamers quit.

>>385036587
This game does not have ten million players. It's probably in the thousands currently.

I usually ignore it but it's been every single time people just throwing and I don't find it fun anymore.

On one hand, the game is extremely poorly designed. On the other hand blizzard can't change anything about the game without people having mental breakdowns.

>>385036809
Yeah that was a fun mode. I enjoyed fucking around in it with friends. The no cooldown mode is cancer in comparison.

Honestly gigantic is a better game.

It's not dying, it's just stalled right now.
I played since the open beta, and I realized from the get-go that this game is quite shallow.
>best strategy is to just 6v6, rarely will flanking be more beneficial then sticking with the amorphous blob of heals and shields that is your team
>atrocious map design for Capture Point. "Hey let's go top right and take the second point" is boring if its done for each map.
>most heroes can do 1-2 things, essentially. The newer heroes like Ana and Sombra have a bit more complexity/flexibility but the majority of the cast aren't really complex.
I can't speak about comp because I tapped out at 3.7 SR in season 4 and stopped playing because my main mouse broke. But it's just more and more people are wising up to shallow the game is. People bitch about "dive meta" when triple tank was just as boring - and I guarantee the next meta will be just as uninteresting. It's just how the game works.

just play in arcade with custom games. my next custom game mode im gonna make is called "world of tanks." bastion only, ultimate charges very quickly, jump velocity speed turned way down, damage turned down, health turned up, reduced respawn time, amount healed is reduced, and the turret will be the only way to attack besides ulting.

>>385037193

Same boat, Overwatch was meant as a casual shooter to fuck around in. I didn't mind all the weird patches and changes as long as I could still fuck around without limits, now it's all more competitive shit.

>>385037421
OP here. I really am a fan of the game. But let's be honest here, this game won't have a playerbase by 2018. Every friend i played with dropped the game.

>>385036076
I don't really like overwatch all that much but I don't think it's dieing. People these days apparently aren't used to games having sub a million players a day or something fucking ludicrous. People move on and play other stuff, it doesn't mean this game is dead it just means it's not as popular. Games aren't dead until they stop getting updates and people 100% stop playing.

>>385037423
Despite what you think most gamers like to stream. That's bad news for your game if even streamers are done.

>>385037346
>flanking isn't viable
Is exactly why I lost interest. I don't mind team play, but I've always been the flanker player, such as the TF2 Scout, Spy or a roaming Soldier.
I am just more effective in being that guy that shows up just in the right moment. When the enemies turn around because my team's arrived, that's usually where I'll jump in, score a few kills and objectives, and then only temporarily join in with my team blob if it seems appropriate (like no other enemies needing to be killed and only the objective is left to be pushed). I don't even care about being "that guy" that tries to "make plays" for their comp montage, it's just how I've realized that I can support my team best.

>>385037824
I'm not a fan, I'm just using it as an example.

>>385037908
There aren't many objectives on maps, either.
You have the control points, the back-line supports, and if you're Sombra you can hack the mega health packs. That's pretty much it without going into abstract objectives like high ground or secondary area control.

I think it's a fun and well-designed game, but I don't care at all about the competitive aspect.

I think the reason why a lot of people stop playing is because the game is a team-based shooter, but everyone want to play it as if it was something else, where they can run around and do their own thing.
Every match is entirely dependant on team composition, and the worst player in the team will be why you lose.

It ends up making the game frustrating unless you're actually winning, because there isn't really a saving grace to each character's role.
In TF2 I didn't care at all about losing, just having fun, but OW game makes sure to make people feel punished for losing.

I like playing the game because it's fun, and when I have had my share of fun I will probably stop playing it. That's probably what most people think about.

>>385038380
People don't play videogames competitively because of their "love for the game". They're money motivated. When you have actual sponsors who do something other than make motherboards you're likely to be paid significant amounts of money comparatively. I'm not at all saying this is a good thing because manufacturing an esports scene is retarded but I assure you any "pro" who bailed on overwatch would be replaced by 5 up-and-comers who want money.

Isn't there an Overwatch world cup going on right now or something?

>>385038586
Ubisoft might have shot themselves in the foot with Siege. Plus, there are way more bugs unaccounted for in maps in Siege than in Overwatch.

Still, it's painfully apparent that Blizzard is intentionally being slow with new updates and content. It sounds entitled, but I guess that's what happens when most of the maps in the game are so similar that they "feel" the same.

>>385038841
Yes and nobody is paying attention to it. Most of the people in this world cup even admitted the game is dying.
It's one thing if /v/ shitposts about a dead game, it's another when people in real life even admit it.

The game is definitely dying on the competitive front. Blizzard is pumping money into the scene but viewership is extremely low.

Many, many teams have already dropped Overwatch and a few pro players have + have explained via social media their problems with it.

Teams that have dropped include Dignitas, Fnatic, Afreeca Red, Denial E-sports, TSM, and a host of others. You can google this information easily.

>>385041901
It's irrelevant. If a pro scene abandons a game then the playerbase goes to. This is a fact.

It's so fucking boring. Everyone says that you can't compare it to TF2, but that's exactly what it is-- a shitty TF2. If you're on a team with bad players, there isn't shit you can do about it whereas you could carry in TF2 despite the fact that it was a teambased shooter.

In Overwatch, no single player can make enough of an impact to do anything since every hero has shields and escapes and ultimates, so the meta will always be to stay as 6 and hope that you get a pick before they do.

>>385042183
It's not bad. It's just different. I don't mind playing a game where you have to actually work with your team. That's what sets it apart from tf2.
You might think it's shit, and that's okay, but don't act like your opinion is objective.

>>385036076
This is as for someone who made it to high masters and probably higher if I hadn't stressed out due to performance anxiety and anger problems due to the incredibly shitty community.

For me it's the lack of content, insufferable community, and weird balance changes + contradicting reasons for those changes.

Why would they nerf Roadhog just because the lower elo portion finds his mechanic unfun/don't want to learn how to counter him but yet not even budge when their entire community finds 2cp unfun since season 1?

While I'm not at the spectrum of "THIS GAME IS DEAD ITS ALL OVER" because the game is young and it can still break out of this shit. I think if they keep up the bad balance updates with bad explanations then it's just going to lose it's chance and never recover.

>>385042183
Truth.

Carrying in TF2 as a Spy makes me fucking ecstatic like no other, even if it's just in a pub game. Collecting 8+ dominations and continuously murdering the same shitty players over and over until they switch classes to attempt to counter me, or better yet call me names in chat, is the best fucking thing ever.
Well, could just be that I strive for this feeling in any multiplayer game. Overwatch isn't capable of giving me that feeling.

>>385041997
The casual scene is dying to.
Nobody I know plays anymore, queue times take forever, and blizzard is clearly scared of releasing the playerbase number.
Repeat after me:
DEAD

>>385041901
The pro-scene is incredibly important (especially in their main regions of korea/china where most of their money and players are), that's why Blizzard throw money at it and why they pander to the pro players.

The game won't close down or anything, it's just that it's moment in the sun is gone.

I loved it for a long time but the constant sjw bullshit, slow updates and terrible "balance changes" made me hate it.

TF2 is my favorite game, but I haven't played it for years. I quit when they started adding weapon skins and missions that you had to pay for. Upsetting that they turned it into such a cashgrab shitfest. Last I heard with the release of Overwatch they removed the server browser. That's what made it such a community oriented game.

I'm not sure that's so critical, really. I'd be content to see Overwatch fail because I think it's an unfun Skinner Box, but I don't think professional play is actually the end-all be-all of a game's success. If it has a large dedeicated casual base playing the game, buying boxes, and keeping qp full, then is it a dead game? Can you explain why you feel that lack of professional attention spells out a games death?

You quit TF2 for all the wrong reasons friendo.
Weapon skins never had an impact on the game. Most people in pubs don't give a shit or even use them. 1-4 / 24 players even use excessive cosmetics beyond one hat for one class or similar.

No, where you should have quit would be like myself, when they removed the Valve Official Servers from the server browser. Community servers that aren't 32 players/24seven/trading/furry/funmap/friendlies/garbage haven't existed since like 2012.
The only option we have to even play the game now is through a very shitty, very slow, very dysfunctional lobby kind of system now. You have to select a minimum of maps you want to play, and then hope you get put into one that even has over 10 players on it. Oh, and there's also a chance you get thrown into one of the garbage community servers through this system, forcing you to immediately leave or receive brain cancer.

They're not mutually exclusive. Still lot of people are there for the money if it wasn't the case publishers wouldn't bother spending 100's of millions into "esports".

I think this is a false analogy though, because pro players and casual players have different needs and preferences. A game being ill-suited for competitive does not make it a poor match for casual players. Can you explain why you feel it's definitely the case that the casual base will follow the pro scene?

Most overwatch players are in china and korea, they also spend the most money. Reason being is it's huge in the gaming cafes where you pay per hour.

To casual players there the pro-scene is very important, if pro players abandon the game so will they.

In the west it's less important but it's not that big in the west anyway.

>>385044178

Needs more payload maps, I hate assault maps and they pop up too frequently in queue. Temple of Anubis and Hanamura are the most unfun boring maps I've ever played in an FPS.

At the same time profit means shit. Crossfire makes more money than overwatch as well, that doesn't make it relevant in the gaming scene today.

Dive is fucking garbage and Doomfist will just exacerbate it. Remove D.VA, un-nerf Roadhog and maybe OW will still have a chance.

its the jump to comp and only basing balance changes on comp that killed it for me. quick play is nice but having to adopt competitive standards of play means you can't just hop on and have a good match maybe once a week

Don't know or care about pro play in Blizzard games, but from purely anecdotal experience with the various little gaming social circles I'm part of, plenty of people consistently play HotS.

I don't know what your definition of "dead" is, but to me it isn't when you can still consistently find matches with plenty of different people.

Symmetra was part of the launch, numbnuts.

>>385044445
I could be wrong but I heard on a video that they intend to record every match to see what players are throwing or not.

Overwatch blew up based off Tracer and Widowmakers ass cheeks, they didn't like that because the developers are all liberals faggots but that's what happened.

Since launch they have done a full 180 away from anything that made the game popular and now see it as a crusade of diversity.

The chances of ever seeing another white male or sexily dressed female character are about zero. Nobody will argue this because they all know the people who work on this games agenda with their work.

They abandoned their audience, which was mostly all horndog men and "toxic" tryhards to pander to the 10 liberals who still play it.

It's nowhere close to dying, but it stopped being fun a long time ago. Blizzard just seems completely incapable of balancing their game on any level and it shows. Map design is shit and it's stifling hero choices, some characters like Dva or Mercy or just not fun to play as or against and actively stifle choices as hard as the maps, people are allowed to throw and troll as they please as long as they're not spewing racist shit over the mic while doing it, and Blizzard clearly doesn't care to change it or they would have done it by now.

Shit tier: overwatch is a perfect game
Retard tier: overwatch is dying/dead
Mid tier: I never played overwatch
Good tier: I just like the porn.
God tier: I can accept the game for its faults and still casually enjoy it. No game is perfect.

literally every time EVERY TIME I see some OW discussion whether it be here or else where its people complaining how shitty the game is yet they still play it, how the fuck did this shit survive so long? is it the events?

Have they added any new gamemodes or maps recently?

That was the dealbreaker for me - playing the same game-modes on the same maps types got incredibly repetitive.

The game could also do with some sort of "deathmatch/last-man-standing" mode to supplement the objective-based stuff. DM/LMS, in general, despite being a simple game-mod, actually feels less repetitive in games, since action can happen in any area of the map, at any time (instead of linearly moving through a map and doing the same shit, as with OW's objective-based modes). I can play hours of Halo, Quake, Doom, Descent in death-match modes on the same maps, but seeing the same mode come up in OW twice in a row just makes me drop the game and play something else.

There's a 4 Map rotation for the games elimination mode (which is deathmatch), and you can play it as 3v3 or 6v6. It's what I play primarily since I can't stand the objective based maps and this is a much more tense and exciting game mode.

>>385045880

I feel like people just kind of forget what happens when they play a specific game too much. Of course you're getting bored of overwatch after logging 2000 hours. You should be.

I do agree that I hate dive. It's just a faceroll every match with the same heroes. I also wish they would add heroes faster. And add QP to the arcade rewards pool.

And bring back no limits as a permanent mode. It was the only mode for a long ass time. Now it's just gone.
The only reason I played with friends was to make fun comps in no limits. Now half the fun stacks you could do are gone.


Oh well. I still enjoy the game. But I get why some are fed up with it.

>>385045906
They added the moon map last month, which was cool but I swear to god it never goes on rotation. They have a kind of deathmatch in the arcade called elimination but the maps are smaller, which is take it or leave it I guess. I don't get why the elimination maps aren't thrown in the quick play rotation. QP should literally just be "I wanna play anything that's not comp or the meme arcade modes". Elimination maps in arcade is a waste of a slot, which is also entirely stupid that arcade has a limited number of slots to even begin with.

wew lad are you an affirmative action employee???

It is honestly boring now.
Blizzard have made the game less and less fun by making the mechanics so linear. For example if you shoot a rocket at someone they will have little knockback and some damage, while in other similar games it is different and not the same result all the time. The lack of major updates has made people bored and made some lose intrest, 4 months before anything happens is impressive, but for a company a successful and large as Blizzard you think they would add small little things like the "leaked" custom guns. Also Blizzard's habit to change everything for no reason has upset many people I.E: Roadhog. They have made him so shit because a couple of idiots just run out in the open and expect to win.
I like the game it is the fact that Blizzard doesn't know if their audience is competive croud or casuals

Overwatch is probably the most pointless game ever released. The art direction and character design is not cohesive in any way in addition to being fuck-ugly, the story is random garbage, the gameplay itself is stupid simple and poorly balanced.

This is apparently a fairly minority opinion since the game is popular, but it is literally only popular because its a Blizzard game and "people are playing it." Its like what WoW has going on, its not good anymore but everyone is still playing it so people continue to play it so they have others to play with, and it perpetuates itself.

Overwatch looks and feels like a rip off of itself. You ever play any of the Overwatch clones or seen videos from the Gearbox abortion? Its the same game, with the same feel. Overwatch feels like a cheap, shitty clone of another game that doesn't actually exist.

>>385046501
>>385046338
I never really explored Arcade, so that explains why I haven't seen this DM/elimination mode. It would be nice for it to be in QP - it certainly wouldn't be out of place there. Making DM/elimination mode more prevalent might breathe some life into the game.

>>385046858
Jesus, what are you even complaining about?
Like, I get its cool to go on huge angry rants in overwatch threads but this is pure jargon.

>>385037908
The worst part is that flanking isn't just not viable, it's almost impossible because the maps have one or two alternate routes tops. Most maps are just a big gay chokepoint with one easily defended flank. How the fuck are you supposed to play anything other than the one or two team comps we have? The map isn't built for anything else.

I play 3v3 and 6v6 elimination all the time now when I do play. QP is full of retards that stack Widow+Hanzo+Torb all the time because people get mad at those characters in Comp, plus no one EVER plays tanks, and Comp is a frustrating mess.
3v3 and 6v6 elimination also strikes the characters you win with, so there's strategy in picking characters, and teams need to accommodate new characters every round. I love it.

The idea for prison is that we need to rehabilitate those who can be rehabilitated, contain those who cannot, and punish anyone who violates the laws.

The problem is that makes no money, and everyone gets all "MUH TAX DOLLARS" about it, which forces situations of overcrowding and for-profit prisons, which basically just exacerbate the problem and turn all criminals into poorly acclimated, unintegratable assholes and psychopaths.

>>385048106

I understand that there are circumstances where people really want to rehabilitate and better themselves, but at the same time there are people that are just pure sociopathic animals. They won't learn, they won't try to better themselves, they just want to harm and torture people. Those people deserve the cruelest punishments
And I know this might be an appeal to emotion, but let's say that was your daughter. Would you really be happy knowing that thug who killed her gets to spend a comfy life in prison?
Believe it or not, most criminals don't see jail as a punishment. They make friends, they make gangs, and they sit in a cell all day. That's hardly a punishment for someone who bashes a little girls head in.

About a year ago CSGO introduced an update that changed the nature of gun sprays and recoil patterns. When firing any gun you have a set spray pattern. If you just hold down Mouse 1 without influencing your mouse in any way, the bullets will spray the same exact way every time. When the update that added some considerable randomness to the spray was pushed, the entire competitive community was outraged.

The idea behind the update was to change the fundamental nature of the game by making spraying less viable at longer ranges. On paper the idea isn't half bad. High level players will fire long bursts at long ranges because they've mastered the recoil, and there's a good chance one of those 7 or 8 bullets will be a headshot. Competitive players spoke out against the update because it replaced their learned skill with something that was up to chance but more importantly, because the time invested would become somewhat meaningless. this isn't to say that there is no place for chance or luck in games of skill, but players didn't like the idea that they had wasted their time.

Games like Halo 3 and Melee were both competitive and popular without balance updates at all, and both were/are still considered fun to play even if you're not playing competitively. Then you have games like League that are constantly getting fine tuned and adjusted. But unlike all these other games, Overwatch has yet to identify the traits that make it unique and compelling. Its a fun team based shooter, but so what? Overwatch doesn't seem to be about precision or satisfying gunplay or positioning. Ults are cool, but they go off all the time and teamwork often gets subbed out for "whose ults worked the best". When I play CSGO, I can feel a sense of teamwork when we all set up for a round and execute. Even in full 6-man teams with a good leader Overwatch feels like a fucking mess.

Overwatch needs to self-identify what makes it different from any other shooter, and update around that.

While that's definitely true, part of what separates us law abiding citizens and society at large is our compassion. All torture would do is provide a cathartic release for our anger.

While some people don't view prison as punishment, it still is. It deprives people of their agency, turns them basically into zoo animals, takes away their ability to do much of anything. They can eat, sleep, read, sure. But they're also in a place where they can no longer affect the real world.

If someone did kill my daughter, then torturing him wouldn't bring my daughter back.

>>385050835

Like, Jesus, this is the biggest non-issue in the world.

they completely fucked up their ranking system by granting points based on "how well you played your class" which also completely fucks the healers. Not to mention you get winning and losing streaks and the game will try to push you to 50% instead of letting it happen naturally

Again, its like you didn't read 50% of what I wrote, you just skimmed it. Overwatch has the worst art design of any game I ever seen, at least in recent memory. This may not be a big deal to a lot of people but it is for me, and the gameplay is shit anywho. Again, as I said before, the gameplay is far too simple and poorly balanced. Blizzard can't balance for dogshit.

>>385036076

I used to enjoy the game, but after the honey moon phase was finished the game's glaring problems of its shitty map design, restrictive character roles, and anti-fun-pro-competitive balancing.The only thing I'd be sad about if it died is that Reinhardt and Lucio, the only characters in the game I really enjoy in a gameplay and character sense are trapped within a shitty flavor of the year game. Regardless, as of now, Overwatch is nothing more to me than "That game to play when I can't find a good match in TF2."

>>385052687
it's more of a diceroll at lower ratings hoping you don't wind up on the shimada brother team and it just isn't even worth trying to gain rank at lower ratings as a solo quer. Better luck rolling a higher placement number next season and on average queing into a game where players are more likely to build a more balanced team comp

>>385053224
No, you're just an absolute shitter.

I solo queued a friends account from 2000 to 3500 by filling in the role that we needed. If you actually try and evaluate what you're doing and see what you need to improve then you'll win more than you lose and will slowly climb.

Or you could keep blaming it on the same things every other shitter blames their shittyness on and try again next season. I'm sure you SR will be much higher next time :^)

At first I thought the "Overwatch is dying" meme was a lie, but then I realized that dying just means unplayable. And Overwatch right now is unplayable.

>competitive
try hards who are either throwing, insulting you, disconnecting, maining Hanzo/Widow, don't do team work at all, playing Mercy and other healers but don't heal as they should, switching a hero and then you lose hard.

>qp
oh boy... Let's just say that Widow/Hanzo/Genji are instant locks in EVERY FUCKING GAME. And the player who are playing them are just bad (this means you lose). Also qp chat is just retarded. Expect only things like "I need healing" or "ez" or other insults. QP is unplayable if you want to enjoy the game.

>arcade
Why do you waste your time in arcade?


You could say Overwatch is dying because of the shit tier community. The only thing Overwatch can be good for is playing will a full pre made group, but you can do better things with friends and getting 6 people together for a bunch of hours is as good as impossible.

I never realized how hyperbolic /v/ was until I browsed an overwatch thread

I really tried to like it, but it feels so fucking boring. It's like ARAM in FPS form. Honestly I get why they designed it the way they did, but having hallways where you charge ults is retarded to me.

>>385036076
Not sad at all. Was Grandmaster rank seasons 2 and 3 and stopped playing because the meta was the most boring multiplayer experience i've had in a long time. It stopped being fresh and fun. Came back and played a few games after Orison patch to see if i was just suffering from fatigue. Still felt the same way when i first left.

>>385054160
So how did I get an account from 2000 to 3500 but you somehow can't get out of lower ratings?

How do multiple top 500 players take multiple accounts to top 500 every single season?

I'm not saying I was the sole reason for winning every game that I did but I know that I obviously did enough to ensure I wasn't being a detriment to my team.

Quit making fucking excuses for yourself. Admit you're bad and do something to get better. If you don't care to get better or couldn't be bothered putting in the effort (and I wouldn't blame you because overwatch is shit) then don't talk about it.

It's /v/ in a nutshell which is why this place is such a shithole. He's an extra level of retarded too because being bad at the game isn't a fucking valid reason to shit on any game and he also doesn't need to make anything up when overwatch has a ton of problems that is causing people to stop playing.

Critical thought it too much to ask for I guess.

>Every game has to be competitive

I just want to say that the more I think about it the more I hate Pharah on how she looks and plays in game.
The first thing I think of when I see it is that it looks sleek and fast. It looks like it traded durability for mobility. All the bulk has been trimmed off and the only things left are the essentials. So I'm willing to pardon things like her health having no armor despite being in a powersuit.

But when you play in game it's a slow, unmaneuverable piece of shit. You just lazily float around. There's nothing like a harsh dive, there's no thrust vectoring, there's no recoil from firing a rocket launcher, there's nothing that I would have actually liked to see from this and it still hurts a year later.

>>385036837

Its actual number of players is unknown. We have no way to accurately gauge the numbers since Blizzard does not allow 3rd party access to that sort of data unlike Valve does with Steam games. All we have to go on is what Blizzard says and you can hardly trust them with that sort of stuff.

Anecdotally though we DO know that the game is crashing and burning in Korean PC bangs. For a moment it came close to beating LoL but in recent months it is plummeting through the rankings and honestly I don't see why Korea would be an exception with this compared to the rest f the world. I know for a fact that all of my RL or online friends who bought the game are now not playing it at all.

And she can barely actually fly anyway since the maps are so restrictive. Half of them are indoors with low ceilings and the other half that are outside have an incredibly low flight ceiling. On top of that, any sloped surface can't be stood on, you'll just lazily slide off while not recharging your jetpack for some reason. If they're going to add so many things to hamstring her mobility, why is she even in the game?

You people have no idea what a dead game or dying game actually is and its just become a buzzword now. Overwatch is no where near dying and if you think it'll die you're actually retarded. Stop gauging a games population by how many people on twitch are streaming/watching.

Evidence of what? If the PC bangs try typing "Overwatch loses popularity in Korea falling below 20% PC-bang market share for the first time since release" into google and see what you find senpai.

If it's about Blizzard's numbers then that's kind of the problem. They say they have 30 million active accounts, but that doesn't equal actual players. And there's no public API available to check how many people at any one time are playing globally unlike for instance any game being played on Steam. If you want to find out Dota and CSGO's numbers you can get a very accurate figure on them and it's readily publically available. With OW who the fuck knows?

And I'll reiterate again; everyone I know who bought the game has stopped playing it. Its Twitch viewer numbers have stagnated too and have no increased. Sure twitch viewership does not equate to player numbers necessarily but if it really did have 30 million players and was supposedly still growing I'd expect it to have more than 17k viewers on a good day. The number of people watching it now is lower than when it released. Other competitive online games like Dota, LoL and CSGO have actually risen in viewer numbers as time has gone by.
