Overwatch

I quit September - January and then again early May. Really only so much you can do without community servers.

>>385274839
Its always been a shit game.

Blizzard is also notorious for being unable to balance anything multiplayer.

Avoid them like the plague for anything but single player.

>dive meta sees nothing but 5-8 heroes being used
>dive meta will go away on its own, we're not going to change anything

I wouldn't call it broken, more so stale. The community is pretty shitty too.

>>385274839
The balance is not that bad, it's primarily just shitters who complain about the "stale dive meta" even though Rein is popular pick in lower tiers so these same people aren't even playing dive.

The game just needs more content like something every month or at least every 2, doesn't have to be a new hero/map just fucking do something

>>385274839
I fell for the memes and bought Overwatch. Personally I think it's fucking terrible. Legitimately, there's nothing I like about it. Even the aesthetics, which I used to like before I actually played the game, ended up sickening me.

When almost every character besides genji has severely limited movement options the best option is to just deathball up. Leads to a really boring and stale meta and frankly it wont be fixed unless they redesign every character. Overwatch is a casual game and always will be no matter how hard Blizzard tries to push it as an esport. Just the way it is.

McCree is my waifu, but I haven't played for a couple of months again because every gamemode except KotH is too reliant on meta picks and carrying is impossible. If they had map or gamemode selection when you queue up I might actually play the game, but ending up on garbage fucking maps 90% of the time is a pain.

Jeff Kaplan is a shitty game director because he has no fucking balls. He moves updates for the game at a snails pace, releases content even slower. No word on single player, pushing an E-sport league even though he admitted the game isn't balanced around e-sports. And the balance, sweet Jesus the worst balance of all time. Blizzard big wigs need to step in and replace Jeff with someone with half a brain, because the sentiment is wide spread, people are getting fed up with this game.

>>385276538
Hmm no I think you're reading into it too much. The OP specifically asked a question at the end of his post.

>>385274839
But anon it's just a

>>385276568
Understated problem right here. The only good game mode is KotH and yet you can't queue up for it, instead you have to hope you get it randomly amidst the constant stream of awful shitty campfests and banging your head against a brick wall that is 2-Point and Payload respectively

>>385274839
Blizzard is fucking horrible with balancing. They always go insane with buffs and nerfs and then do nothing for ages to fix the situation when some heroes become op/useless.

I haven't played since the first competitive season. What killed the tank meta and introduced a dive meta?

>>385277351
Dive meta killed tank meta since dive rushes toward healers bypassing the tanks

I've wondered how /v/ feels about this blog its an overwatch pro players complains and criticism of the current state of the game
I feel like he makes lots of good points and surprised blizz doesn't listen more a guy who has a better idea how to balance their game more then they do

>>385277546
But weren't dive characters like Genji and Tracer getting stuffed by tanks during the tank meta? I understood Roadhog got his knees shattered a while back, is that what did it?

>>385274839
The problem is they're so anal about having everything they release "tuned to perfection" that it takes them ages to add anything, and what they do add is boring because it's too "clean". They are so overly worried about balance that they suck out the fun of anything that appears to be "OP" by nerfing it hard. Doomfist wasn't even on the PTR for a week before they started nerfing his mobility. This same mentality makes maps feel homogenized and boring; there's no map where defense characters get to shine because they refuse to add any significant bottlenecks and there's always 50 different routes to flank from. Characters like Bastion, Junkrat, and Torbjorn will never be useful competitively because the maps are never designed with them in mind.

If you only release 1 map every 3 months things will get stale fast no matter how many skins you add.

>>385274839
>Hopefully Jeff won't continue to be blind like so many other developers and will actually listen to real suggestions when people like me leave and the money stops flowing in.

OW is B2P this idiot thinks he matters haha

>>385277949
> is that what did it?
Pretty much. It was already becoming a prevalent playstyle prior to the roadhog nerfs but the nerfs really broke the camel's back

>>385277885
>blizz doesn't listen more a guy who has a better idea how to balance their game more then they do
It's because they want to balance the game so that it works at every skill level. They're trying to cater to babies and casuals, and e-sports players at the same time. It's a fucking mess because of that.

>>385277949
That along with Ana being nerfed and Reinhardt being made buggy as shit after the ES nerf

>>385277949
Winston and D.va got buffed which are dive tanks
Roadhog got major nerfs, Ana got nerfed, Zara got nerfed, etc.

>>385277546
>dive meta killed tank meta
you couldn't be more wrong even if you tried
they nerfed Ana's overall healing output so she couldn't single handley sustain 3 500+ hp heroes anymore

>>385276552
can't be any worse than here.

>>385274839
>its an Anon makes a post on the forums that was probably downvoted so he comes to /v/ to get upvotes

fuck off

Their entire thought process for buffs has to something like this:

>Oh shit, what if X character could do this
>and this
>and this
>and this
>hell yeah let's do all that holy fuck this is gonna be awesome dude

There simply is no other way for things to be fucked up as bad as they are.

>>385276708
He will just play like in total mayhem but it wont probably op since they will nerf the mine's dammage.

Blizzard is incapable of logic, but most importantly believe THEY ARE RIGHT and YOU ARE WRONG.

>>385276708
Junkrat actually would be better with 2 or 3 mine charges and a longer cool down for them, actual traps could be made.

>>385278115
This is also why Blizzard's response to heroes being over-used isn't to give them bigger weaknesses to offset their strengths, it's to kill the reasons they got picked in the first place.

A great McCree player that can land the headshots isn't gonna care if McCree has 50 points less HP as much as a casual player will care that McCree can skillshot him from across the map, so the answer is that the strengths get reduced.

Blizzard ultimately is siding more with the casuals, than the better players, so eventually every hero will have 300 HP and a wiffle bat that deals 1hp damage, and a passive heal of 2hp/s.

>>385278351
Warcraft 3? Even in that Humans are fucking nuts

Lack of content is what killed it for me. The snails pace release for the ultimately underwhelming Sombra release broke me. The centaur bitch being released six months later was the nail in the coffin. DF, Sombra and that chick should have all been in the game by the end of last year. League of Legends is hardly a paragon of game design but compare the amount of content it's gotten in reworks/new champs compared to OW.

woah

>>385274839

Even if it were broken, it's not even remotely the problem. It's that people are fucking retarded trolls who want it their way. There's no Team Composition, no map awareness, not towards to even someone like Roadhog for example and so Jeff caters to said retarded people thus ruining the experience for other people who are actually not brain dead. It's the people who suck so much ass, who knows nothing about team work and so they nerf characters for the wrong reasons and then damage control by buffing them again. And on top of that, they STILL haven't introduced a system where they insta-ban people for tilting or purposely trolling to ruin a match. THAT'S what makes the game not fun.

>>385278115
A casual player made similar complaints to those a couple months back just to have Jeff show up and personally talk down to them about how he's played the game more then them so they clearly have no idea what they are talking about. He's so bitter about criticism of his game that he literally looked up the players game info just to take a high horse. Isn't the first time he's pulled this stunt at that.

Absolutely fucking not.

Overwatch is the Smash brothers of FPS, it's fun to fool around, but if you take it seriously you're just autistic and will end up hurting yourself.

They shouldn't have pushed the sports crap so much, and just focus on making fun silly modes and adding a campaign with achievements, co op and all that crap. Instead it's this tryhard mess with gachapon rewards to make people empty their wallets to get bikini mercy in the next update.

FYI, PUBG has more concurrent players than overwatch right now 24/7, that's how bad it is.

Even worse, top overwatch teams just quit recently and many pros went to CSGO instead for a better esports environment and better and more stable pay

>>385279460
Yeah, I have fun with matches like that. I also really enjoyed when they allowed us to have 6 man rein teams and shit at launch. It's what made me buy the game

But then blizzard told me to suck a cock if I enjoy fun and not ESPOOOOOOOOORTS SPONSORED BY RED BULLLLL

>>385279403
Not a fair comparision
Fighting games are all about individual skill
If you pick a shit character and do poorly, oh well your loss idiot
If you pick a shit character or a character you aren't good at in a team game, the rest of the time is down a player

if you're the type of player that only plays one character, especially one that is fucking useless, then you should stick to playing quick play.

it's pretty straightforward how the different modes are named:

>Competitive = not casual
>Everything else = basically casual

Simple. How people don't understand this, I'll never know.

>>385274839
Blizzard can't balance. Suddenly buffing a few characters who are currently weak just changes the meta, and certain characters always remain shit because they ignore them. It doesn't help that the last few characters they added were completely useless.

>>385279568
If you play a team game you accept that you may lose despite your individual skill. People who cry that they are wronged by their team sucking should not play team games. It is also utterly contradictory to say their needs matter more than the person being banned. Why does the punished persons enjoyment not matter at all? Why do they not advertise these strict rules on the box as required by consumer law?

Competitive is different from, and better than quickplay, but not for dickswinging rank cancer reasons.
It's because the matches are built better.
If some stupid faggots here and there can't handle fun being had at expense of overall outcome, then they should simply hang themselves.

>>385279625
Or blizzard could just refund me. I would never have purchased the game if it was advertised as an esport DOTA clone where I could be punished for having fun and not playing whatever twitch streams tell me to. If blizzard does not want people like me and only wants esports (you know, those players they're bleeding like a hemophiliac in a broken glass factory) then they should just refund thoe of us who were mislead on what the game was. I expected a TF2ish game. Never been banned by valve for maining heavy

>>385279684
It might. Finding games isn't hard. Besides, PUBG isn't any better, in-fact it's perfect for streamers so no shit it's popular.

It's DayZ all over again. In a couple years some other terrible FPS will come out to replace OW and PUBG. But I want to know about the OW League teams moving to CS:GO, which sounds like they just want to make money by cheating.

>no dedicated servers with custom maps and content
This is when I knew shit wasn't going to last. I played TF2 for so long because, even if I was bored with the default maps or gamemodes, I could switch it up a bit by jumping on a MARIO_KART server or a surf map or whatever. After a month of playing Overwatch, I was already bored of everything the game had to show me and I wasn't going to stick around to wait for them to release more.

>>385279684
there's a reason blizzard refuses to release concurrent player numbers.

>>385279839
Jeff doesn't know what he wants. They marketed it as a comp game yet everyone in comp hates how they balance it. They really straddle the line between having it a competitive game and having it more casual, doing this will kill it in the end.

>trash popular moba has balancing issues

w-whoa

>>385279714
I agree with you, I think players should play what they want, and shouldn't be banned for it, my point was that comparing it to picking a shit character in a fighting game isn't a good comparison

Also i'm pretty sure this shit falls under their terms of service, unfortunately if they have reason to believe you're "trolling" or whatever the fuck, they can ban you or silence you and cite their rules even if it's not strictly what they wrote

Its fucking WORSE the fucks know what their doing but constantly changing the meta is something the believe will force the game to stay active. The "take turns" balancing is pretty damn common in mobas which this is trying to imitate.Haha, you thought I was a dumb fan boy didn't you?

>>385279714
>If you play a team game you accept that you may lose despite your individual skill.

By the same token, if you play a team game then you should accept the fact that your choices will impact the rest of your team. Overwatch is based around communication, each team is basically a human body with each role being a different body part that all have to work in unison. If you don't contribute, then you are objectively part of the problem.

>>385279836
>Competitive is different from, and better than quickplay, but not for dickswinging rank cancer reasons.

Rank is determined by winning. By playing competitive, you are competing. It's not rocket science, you're just retarded.

>>385279839
That's what quick play is for dude. Nobody plays that shit seriously and nobody would care if you play your main there. It's just the shitters that clog up competitive with their autistic roleplaying that are ruining the game.

>DotA punishing for spamming a Hero
>League being any way more flexible
Completely false. DotA is well known for having people autistically spamming heroes and doing unorthodox shit.
The report system only imply players and not possible to get banned for anything than hacking/cheating.

League on another hand... Riot tells their players how to play. And if they don't they can actually be banned/sanctionned.
See by yourself:

Idk much shit about this garbage game but apparently this guy got banned for playing chimps on the wrong lanes and building off-meta items.
This would never happen in DotA. You'd get flamed in russian, reported, after too much report out of the ranked queue for a few games but that's it.

Picking at random gave you a gold bonus so it made sense to pick at random but you generally only wanted first or second pick to pick random to ensure you'd have all the roles covered.
>UGH THEN... UNHHH WAHHH WHY NOT... JUST UHHHHHH *shits diaper* DISABLE THE RANDOM BUTTON AFTER, WAHHHHH THE THIRD PICK UNNNNNNNNH WAHHHH
Because the devs figured most people had the sensibility to not do that? Same reason you can pick any hero last pick. You *can* pick an ADC if your team already has one, but you shouldn't. This isn't the game's problem, it's your problem.

>>385281841

Blizzard is ultimately the culmination of everything wrong with the industry, from braindead games with shitty or no story at all to the inability to balance characters and focusing solely on random loots on their games.

Ban could be a bit excessive, but if enough complained, it could be within reason. Staying on one hero every game no matter the situation even if you're getting fucking destroyed would be infuriating for the teammates to endure.

>>385274839
At no point is it fun, tolerable at best, but never fun. There's SO many heroes in the game, but you're locked into requiring certain ones in order to actually succeed. Can't play this hero because they're fucking garbage, can't play this hero because they're not as good as THIS hero, everyone's instalocked their favorites so I guess you're stuck playing healer or we automatically lose.

It's a complete mess. You have heroes like hanzo which enable shitters to get lucky kills because they shot a scatter arrow at someone's feet, but don't actually contribute beyond that, and then you have shit like genji and tracer which have significantly higher individual skill ceilings than most other heroes, allowing them to run wild and shitstomp pretty much everyone else when played well.

Blizzard can't decide whether the game is casual or requires skill, so every choice they make is all over the fucking place.

you cant do that and expect to win though, here's an example, say I am on offense pushing the payload, I got a teammate, D.VA, if I am like the only one on the vehicle/payload pushing it and everyones split up than not much is being done and d.va's matrix defense is less effective at helping teammates which is what its supposed to be used for. if you however tell people, hey, everyone, get on the payload so we're all together, we'll be at our strongest since we're not split and if d.va ever needs to use shield matrix then when she does, she effectively can help a lot more people on the team with it cause we're all together, also things can die quicker cause the team can focus fire on specific targets if necessary. lots of people can do random shit in these team games, if you're not being the guy who's trying to get people to cooperate, use the microphone or play correctly than your chances of losing increase, it really doesn't matter how fucking skillful you are

>>385279007
Most of the OW community actually loves shit like this. They hate anyone having fun and only want everyone to play around them. Anything remotely unbalanced must be fixed immediately or they will go into autistic OCD fits. The cast must be diverse and must represent everyone (besides racist white bois ofc). If they see someone say anything remotely negative they will screech toxic at the top of their lungs while smashing their heads against there keyboards in, again, autistic fits. Then they will not only report you in game, but also send 20 page essays to support about how this toxic person ruined their safe space.
This is the average OW player.

Not a solution to the real problem. The new ban system. You could have all golds and have the enemy team accusing you of hacking at the end of a match but your team will still report you for playing hanzo. They'll report you for going attack symm on hanamura which is actually a legit strat. Etc. You can't pick widow or torb otherwise you're throwing.

The new problem is that 100 reports = automatic ban. Forget about calling people faggot or retard, you can't even play the game well anymore because just triggering enough people in one season means you get booted. Whenever some passive aggressive beta male suggests you don't need a (insert name here), then begs the enemy team to report you, you're one step closer to getting locked out, whether you hear him say it or not. The game is dead. People thought the same old dive meta heroes in every match was boring before; meeting stubborn people who only want to play one character was unfair to their precious SR (which adjusts based on performace and hidden MMR, not just wins-losses). Well wait til the new system settles in. The squeaky wheel gets the oil, the nail that stands out gets hammered down, etc.

Better start playing the way everyone else tells you to. Unless you want to be locked out of the only competitive game mode.

Blizzard rolling over and accepting dive meta and continuing to ignore the blight that is high mobility heroes with low cooldowns makes the game unplayable past a certain ELO.

The typical hero game design philosophy of making heroes fun to play and horrid to fight against makes every game unsatisfying.

Ultimates that grind the game to a halt have no place in a fast paced arcade shooter

I don't play often enough to be qualified for discussion about balance or meta.

It's a lot like Smash Bros in that way.

Shallow as fuck. Even Super Smash Fighter V has more depth.

I quit after they introduced showing groups in tab. Knowing that by playing solo you will always be matched with a 5man premade that will never communicate with you is complete pure shit. Ranked is also a joke, a single bad person that plays a shit sniper kills the team

There should be a mode for only solo players.

>comparing the Overwatch to Smash Bros.
what are you smoking?
Overwatch is a mess while Smash Bros. is a masterpiece, in Smash Bros. you can play as whoever you want without the risk of getting banned.

>>385278050

Defense heroes aren't allowed to be good because the entire game is based around stalling for your six ultimates and then killing everyone in five seconds to take a point.

If they were being logical, Torb, Summer, etc wouldn't even be in the game but people would Bitch if there wasn't a turret character even if the system mechanics make them unplayably bad

>>385285927

I can agree that being banned for things like playing off meta would be bullshit, but people should be penalized for intentionally throwing games, especially in competitive, there's nothing fun about being paired with someone who does absolutely nothing, quickplay it's whatever, but it'd be a lot more frustrating in comp.

>>385285904

>>385279007

Thank fucking god they're doing something about these shitters, I might actually start playing again now that I know I can report some nig nog for not helping and get them banned.

They need to start doing the thing they do in Heroes of the Storm, where you pick a character BEFORE you get added to a game.

Also, competitive mode should have a hero draft.

good. i've lost a lot of games because some stupid faggot sat on torb or a sniper on a cp map.

>>385286643
WThey don't even let you play all the characters so that is already invalidated. I won't switch because I fear being banned for not playing what twitch daddy tells me. All hail seagull

You are literally everything wrong with gaming and do more damage than Anita has.

>>385286641
>it's one of the worst parts of that game.

Why? Play who you want, get a (presumably) decent comp regardless. Sounds like everyone wins to me.

Also, you're right, draft would suck the way the game is now. Switching characters on the fly should cost something. I'm not sure what. Maybe spend a few seconds outside the match. The idea is to give weight to character selection. That would help a lot of things, especially in competitive.

The fact that they still don't have map type filtering at this point is amazing. It would be like queueing for battleground in wow only you can't choose the bg and it's always random.

It costs you whatever your ultimate is charged at in this press Q to win game.

>>385286875
not him, and I have no knowledge of the updates. But recently it really feels like Rein's hammer down is FUCKED.

It works maybe 50% of the time for me now whereas before I could fucking dominate with it, felt like everytime I wanted it to work it would.

Now I can clearly see my range is open and I'll fire it off and only get ONE person in range down while the others glitch the fuck out and get right back up.

I dunno if its just me or what but I've pretty much stopped playing him, sucks because he used to be my dawg

>>385279007
>people defend this

The main problem with Overwatch "balance" is that balancing one hero doesn't matter when that hero has a distinct presence in the team composition that can either destroy it or make it OP.

Example: Dive comp = Winston, D.va, Genji, Tracer, Zen, Lucio

imagine swapping the Genji for a Hanzo. Suddenly your Winston and Tracer have one less butt-buddy and the D.va is better off peeling for the Zen and Hanzo. It changes the entire dynamic of the team, so the team bitches and complains at the sniper. Nothing can fix that.

What needs to be balanced is the effectiveness and variability of team compositions. That's a lot harder than it sounds. Quickplay isn't an option because the only thing keeping OW bearable is the attempt at winning each match. In quickplay half your team is content sitting in spawn with their thumb up their ass spamming half charged shots as widowmaker and nobody picks a healer.

I honestly think OW is always going to be a shit show. Especially since most people just want hero-bans from comp and stricter punishments for off-meta picks.

>>385286834
I consistently get terrible comps in heroes if i queue with anyone. Even if we queue as three with a fairly balanced comp, we will end up with too much of something vs. an objectively better comp or the exact same shitty comp. It just doesn't work since you don't know what map or mode you are playing. It's bad.

>>385285872
she undresses you carefully.
''You've been a very bad boy'' se claims while grabs something from a table near her. It's a 5~ inch, rusty nail.

''And you know what bad boys get, right?''
She looks at your penis, and you begin to understand what's going on. You try to untie the ropes but you can't, you just end up bruising yourself and start bleeding.
She then grabs your penis and starts slowly inserting the rusty nail down your urethra. Your screams are silenced because of the gag you're wearing, and you start choking in your own saliva. She's still pushing it, you feel like you're going to pass out from shouting at the top of your lungs, albeit nobody hearing you. Your penis is a mess with bleed and piss over the place Then she gets up, with a blank expression.
''Enough fun for today''. She kicks the nail all the way inside your penis and it goes directly to your bladder, piercing it in a piss explosion. You pass out and die bleeding out on the floor.

Threads about OW "dying" are ultimately useless. It may wax and wane in popularity but, like all Blizzard games, there will always be people playing. You'll always be able to jump in and find a game quickly, and play for as long as you want.

It might not always be "Alive", per se, but it sure as shit won't die.

I quit after the first month it launched. I didn't hate the game, but I quickly got bored. Reinhardt and Winston was pretty fun to use for the short time I played at least.

>>385279684
Wasn't PUBG always beating out Overwatch after about a good month on Steam?

>>385287216
Wrong. Quick play is the only thing keeping Overwatch bearable as you are playing how you want to in quick play. This game wasn't meant to be competitive and the competitive scene feels forced.

>>385287340
How many fucking barriers does a game with healers need?

>>385287590
>this game wasn't meant to be competitive
neither was eating or jumping around in potato sacks, and yet there are eating competitions and potato sack races all the time because it's more fun to compete against others than to do it alone for no reason at all

if you prefer quickplay that's not my business but there's a huge difference between playing against someone that's trying and playing against someone that complains about tryhards. the first person is actually satisfying to shit on.

when did d.va get buffed? Does her matrix build ult yet?

Now what?

The amount of people desperately trying to prove OW is dead is retarded. It almost definetely hits 100k players a day. It's one of the biggest games out there right now. Pointing out that "it's not as big as CSGO/LoL/something thats new!" doesn't mean shit.

I missed the game in its heyday, I can get matches pretty quickly but how better was it in it's prime?

Were wait times like 10 seconds inbetween or something? I remember Halo games being like that in their primes.

>>385289253
Not as big as an early access game

>>385289353
PUBG? No shit, it's new and shiny. See how it's doing in a year.

Allow teams to ban characters in competitive. 4 votes to ban 2 characters per team so people can ban Widowmaker or whoever on their team.

you can't really come into a thread shitting on people unless you mention what your actually angry about, bitch.

Saying "I see so many people here that are wrong" is so vague it might as well not be a statement. Who is wrong? Wrong about what? What is your opinion on the topic? Wtf is going on?

Meh, I don't play competitive overwatch. I pop in every now and then when I am in the mood, grind some levels for fun, do some of the side stuff, and come back later.

I might play more of it later once everything with Doomfist calms down.

ITT: People say a game is dying because it's not as popular as it was at launch - which, no game ever is.

>>385289689
Situations will arise were people suddenly need that character for some reason and you'd have to add the ability to remove those bans mid match and it would just be clunkcy as fuck I would imagine.

>>385287590
Quickplay is stale as fuck too. You have Widow, Hanzo, Genji hard lock on every team that isn't dive meta, so it's always a shit show

I got to 2990~ and quit. got tired of the super boring characters that were viable compared to the others that were fun to play but not effective. that and the community is just retarded, they play one of the easiest and most boring team shooters on the market and they all think they're getting a benq sponsorship tomorrow if they win this game.

Completely FUCKS mains players, fucks ults, changes playstyles midgame. It's awesome. Best way to play.

>>385290092
>mystery heroes

So I go from "Luck based gamemode where you have to hope you're lucky enough to have people on your team who aren't clinically retarded" to "Luck based gamemode where you have to hope you're lucky enough to have people on your team who aren't clinically retarded AND get a team comp that doesn't get you stomped"

I jumped off this shit when my mouse sensitivity would fucking double every time I got gold medals.

Blizzard makes games with the intention that players will play them exactly how Blizzard wants them to play the game.

This makes all their games go incredibly stale after a couple of weeks.

Fuck Blizzard.

>>385290092
Shit like MH is where OW shows its strengths. It has ways of allowing everyone to find enjoyment in it somehow, even through arcade modes.

>>385290240
Actually, making the heroes random reduces your chances of having clincally retarded team mates, at some point in the match they'll usually find themselves spawning as someone they actually like to play and start contributing more.

Of course it doesn't count, despite being dogshit and a shell of itself blizztards always feel insecure about it.

>>385290092
this desu, though I wish it had some sort of weighting to the RNG (e.g. team has no healers, next hero is more likely to be a healer)

Played Mystery Heroes for my first 150 levels and now in Comp I can play basically anyone very competently (and about 9 I can play VERY well) which is extremely useful

Goddamn it bilzzard this is why nobody likes your balance team.

Overwatch is a "TF2 killer" that came out after TF2 already killed itself, made by a company that doesn't understand why TF2 was popular and played by an army of Blizzdrones who wouldn't know a good game if you beat them within an inch of their lives with it.
