>>385546172
I hate it because /v/ told me to.

From what i've seen it looks like they hate most of added stuff, that and the lack of maps is killing it for some people. Inversely, for some strange, unknown reason, TF2 of all things has somehow become somewhat popular again.
Shit's weird man.

Uninteresting and slow ass updates leading to a boring ass shitty meta. Jeffy's game has had 3 shitty released characters for an entire year, how fucking lazy are these people?

Doomfist did instill some faith for me, but goddamn where Ana, Sombra and especially Orisa the worst hero releases I've seen for a game. Even the worst ASSFAGGOTS release is better than this shit.

Because Winston exists. No character with auto aim should be tanky and have this many escape tools at their disposal. Not with the low skill ceiling he requires. It's ridiculous, people whine about D.va's defense matrix and call it a no skill ability but will give Winston a free pass.

i love overwatch

>>385547084
winston was annoying enough when his shield didn't have 1k health. honestly most of the decisions that Blizzard makes with regard to balancing this game are astoundingly inept

I honestly think they buff/nerf characters at random just to keep people talking about it

>>385546172
>>385546389
The player base is incredibly toxic, and all it does is make me miss TF2.

The balancing is all fucked up. To many of the characters no longer perform like they did at launch or are indended to. Everything is balanced around the meta game which is a terrible idea because its a casually designed hero shooter.

As long this also means the enemy will get less ult charge for shooting a healing hog, otherwise i don't give a crap

When your game is popular because of it's pixar art style with lewd fan art, it's bound to die real soon. Adding nothing but shitty cosmetics over more maps and dedicated servers is poop.

>>385547073
sauce before deletion pls

the rate of new content to fuck with the meta game is too slow, the last 2 characters completely bombed in terms of changing the game and they werent even all that fun. doomfist is looking good though

ironically league's approach to constantly fuck up their own game to keep it fresh actually works to some degree and overwatch is really lacking something refreshing since the base game is far too simple to allow players to explore the game and find fun things to do, not to mention the community's perception of the meta that makes them triggered as fuck when people pick fun and unconventional characters

>>385547863
What if hog specifically generated less charges?

>>385547431
I play OW because it's really gay.
I want to play a new mainline fortress game that mimics the original team fortress, like fortress forever, but those games are REALLY dead.

The funny thing about overwatch is though that the players are usually dumb enough that I can just kill everyone with bastion. But playing the actual game at GM rank would be awful holy shit.

Honestly, I want source 2 to come out so I can just make my own game.

I can never play this for over an hour, I'll just get completely bored of it and just completely ditch this game for months.
Every damn match I have to contest a choke point or objective for 5-10 minutes straight because it's a fucking stalemate every team fight or that they come back from respawning.
Also the fact that only a select few characters are effective does not help the game being engaging.
I'm surprised as to how my friend manages to play this game regularly for one year straight.

seeing how /v/ is the worst board I hardly stop by. Everytime I do though, there are countless OW threads, with half of them being about the game dying

What's with the obsession

>>385546172
I liked it during beta and after launch but I have no urge to play it. It's pretty much as shallow as call of duty, every game feels the same and I get very little enjoyment out of it.
I have 2.5k hours in tf2 because I could fuck around when I wanted to. OVerwatch won't last without community content like maps and gamemodes.

Bad maps, annual events instead of substantial content, poor balance. It's just in a bad place. I used to play in anticipation for the TF2 update, but even Titanfall 2 and Dirty Bomb had better recent updates than anything Blizzard has mustered up.

Is that true for cosmetics as well? Because most of blizzard's income is from cosmetics.

Man I love that magical time shortly after any multiplayer's launch when a lot of the toxic people get tired of it and everyone else is still getting comfortable with the game so people don't think their some godly players and everyone is willing to work together.

>>385549423

>>385546172
bought OW on release and lost interest after a month. A couple of months later I came back and play3 matches and thats it.
This shit doesnt happen with TF2, I always come back and have some fun in 2fort, badlands, goldrush and thunder mountain. The 16vs16 players in those maps is fun as hell.
Meanwhile, 6v6 OW is boring and I feel Blizz is trying too hard to make OW a competitive FPS like CS:GO.

Me and my friends just got bored with it. After a few months we were only doing 3v3 and then we got bored with that too and just stopped.

>>385549449
Every 2 months they have seasonal events with new skins. That seems to be an intentional way of keeping the money rolling in consistently.

Moon map update killed it for me completely. The retarded map design just showed me blizzard have no idea what they are doing. The community are spoiled pieces of shit that scream reported even if you say one curse word or pick the wrong char (in their mind). Too many shit to mention.This game is doomed and I'm not staying around to watch its end.

It was ALWAYS trash. A seriously overhyped TF2-clone, with boring gameplay (seriously one mode, payload?), annoying characters, generic weapons, etc.

Anyone who even liked it had their head up their ass, or were Blizzard fanboys. The sensible among us saw it for what it was from day 1.

I personally, waited for a big sale (got it for $20), and even then I felt cheated for the amount of content I got. This should have been a F2P game at best.

>>385547431
>The player base is incredibly toxic, and all it does is make me miss TF2.
That tends to happen when you make a game with little to no skill ceiling. It makes bad players think they're good. Everyone tends to lash out in OW because it's a simple game.

>>385550469

Blizz is trying to make OW a competitive FPS but going the wrong way to do so. Instead of listening to the pros, balancing the game to make it competitive and letting the scene grow out naturally with events such as Dreamhack and ESL, they completely bypassed all that and pumped money into marketing/tournaments. Thus, third-party OW tournament licenses aren't given out, and we have OWL league.

It's the opposite for me. I burned myself out on TF2 over the years and all of Valve's retarded decisions and neglect really hurt the game. The kneejerk reaction to Overwatch with the awful competitive update was also shit.

The Double XP Anniversary weekend is what finally broke the spell on me.

They're taking out anything fun that promotes competitiveness because competition is toxic and misogynistic and evil for racist white people.

Can't see people's ranks easily because it promotes toxicity.
Can't have a public scoreboard because it promotes toxicity.
Can't have good aim be rewarded because it promotes toxicity.
Seems to them toxicity means anything that makes their fat shitter moo-cow SJWs mad that they're moronic casuals.

>>385551295
Can't you hoard the gold to buy the skins you want though?

I'm struggling to keep pace with the game to be honest. Still enjoy playing, but they buff/nerf so often that the game feels completely different if you take a short break.

>>385551323
I mean are they updating it again? Last time I played they added a really bad matchmaking feature. A lot of people were turned off by hats but what killed it for me was when they added all those different weapons and items. I liked it better when we were getting class based and themed updates instead of fifty million steam workshop items.

>>385546172
Frustration, i'll probably go back to it for a week to play Doomfist and we'll see if it clicks again. Lack of consistently added maps. They should have had five or six new ones ready to be released during slow periods before the game even launched. Now we have to wait half a year per new map and then get to play the new map once out of 15 games.

What i hate is that Blizz seems to think that OW needs some edgy and dark story and though people wanted serious Doomfist and not Terry Crews. They are out of touch with reality and think they are doing the best game ever.
Like, when Reaper was introduced it was obvious parody of all edgelord characters but now that i look at him i think they seriously believe he's cool and all.

A lot of their coding is Bethesda-tier "we couldn't figure out how ladders work so we didn't add them" laziness. Arcade can't have more than 5 modes available at one time so they have to cycle one or two out whenever they add a new unfun mode nobody wants to play. Their excuse is because that way people will be forced to play modes they don't want to play for crates and that makes sense to do because ???

>>385551621
The golden days of TF2 are over. Updates are at much slower pace because there isn't much to fix or add anymore. But that doesn't mean the game is dead. (It's dead for me)

>>385551829
The lore is retarded since OW and Talon members can team up and murder their "canon" team mates.

Almost nobody use the matchmaking. People just search for servers or play Man vs Machine maps.
The game is not popular, but its not dead and still have a good community.

>>385551942
It's dead, they won't ever fix TF2 and if they do it'll be way too late. 90% of the populated servers are either achievement_idle or stupid crap. If you want a normal match without a bunch of fucking plugins up your ass and special preference to certain players you have to play a 24/7 server which are almost all either completely full throughout the day or completely empty throughout the day.

Not true actually. You get rewarded based on how the system thinks you did. This is why carrying doesn't guarantee high sr and this is why sub 30% winrate mercys in GM. Plenty of people get twentysomething sr for a win and lose thirtysomething for a loss because the system thinks they didn't do what they supposed to do even if it carried the team to victory. For example You are not supposed to flank with soldier. Did you win the last point in the last minute on kings row attack because you ran upfrom the left and moved down the entire backline? Too bad you are not supposed to do that!

This is simply not true. You can probably find less than 200 players on community servers, the rest are doing matchmaking.

I'm not a hardcore competitive player but really this game is just boring and unfun to play
Winning or losing, doesn't matter, because you don't feel anything and any kind of 'exciting' gameplay is based on the ultimate abilities you charge up
I've always thought the game was flawed at a core level, something about its design just does not translate to a fun or rewarding gameplay experience.
This is just my opinion but I have fun playing Quake 3 and TF2, and I don't have fun playing Overwatch, so i don't play it

>>385546759
Genji is literally incapable of one shotting anyone.

>>385550719
Yeah, Blizzard's way of trying to make OW a popular esports game fucking disgusts me. Instead of making a game that is actually good for competitive play and letting the community grow organically, they just pump a shitton of money into it. What a bunch of shit, I hope they fail with that.

>>385552562

>>385551580

>>385553030
Should've stopped updating just after MvM. It was already on a slope around then but it dropped like a fucking rock in an infinitely deep ocean when they added those shitty weapon skins.

>>385546172
1: Game shipped with little in the way of content. A year later all we got is two new maps and three new heroes?

2: Only two game modes in core play

3: Game's balanced around hard counters instead of soft counters. Which means hot swapping is encouraged, but then the game specifically punishes the act of hot swapping.

4: Game went out of its way to give characters back story and personality as a marketing tool, making players feel strongly in favor of or against certain characters, which just makes the point in 3 even worse. You've probably had at least one game where someone screeched about how you need to play a character you flatly do not like.

5: Hard counters coupled with game balancing enforces meta game. Don't like the meta? Tough shit. Half your games will feature someone shitting their pants because you don't want to play the same boring ass shit every match.

6: Can't pick duplicate characters because balancing the game for duplicate characters was too much work.

7: The point raised in 6 leads to people making hostile character picks.

8: Roughly 1/4th of the roster is just bad. Another 1/4th isn't bad per say, but so completely niche that you may only play them on one map, in one game mode. The game should not have shipped with characters like Widowmaker, Torbjorn, Hanzo, Mei or Symmetra in their current state.

9: Game's tooled around team play, but keeps characters in the game that are designed to have no approachable flaws. Some of these characters are good enough that you can legitimately carry a team with them. Some mouth breathing retard on your team will always pick them.

10: Characters with severe flaws baked into them that require tight teamwork have to compete with characters that are completely self sufficient, which leads to some characters having a perception as being 'bad'.

11: 3, 4, 5, and 10 all lead to a situation where your team can completely fuck you over without even trying. This also affects rating.

I don't think it's quite right to equate playerbase size with popularity. For example WoW is like one of the most played games in the world, but I wouldn't say it's "popular" because it has fallen out of the eyes of most people.

I don't think TF2 would have that many players if it wasn't F2P, which leads me to believe a large majority are kids, poorfags, and third worlders. The only people I know left who play TF2 is an autist and my friend's newphew who can only run TF2 and Minecraft on his laptop.

>>385546172
I hate it because they nerfed Roadhog. I'm not a Roadhog player, but those who are have told me that the nerfs were too hard and that they brought back the dive meta by doing so. Roadhogs whole thing was punishing offensive tanks that were out of position/not with their team such as Winston or D.VA. His nerfs made it so you cannot punish tanks that dive into your team, kill someone and leave.

>>385553297
please we are having a serious discussion here. Stop trolling.

>>385553138
Their excuse for not going at least 8v8 is "because the game was balanced around 6v6" even though it's clear the maps are fucking atrocious and not balanced for ANYTHING and the gameplay really doesn't give a shit however many is versus however many. I'm guessing it's just because they either
A) Couldn't figure out how to have more playing in one match without something breaking
B) Have a shitty server setup that would break down if more than 6v6 were in a match

They also rarely add new and better maps because they're focusing on events. Limited time events are to Overwatch what hats were to TF2. People will stop liking it after a few years because the same events will keep coming back forever and their precious rare skins will no longer feel exclusive to them, making them worthless.

You can do the math yourself, speed conversion between the two games is easy. Engineer is faster than tracer when walking.

>>385553214
>punishes the act of hot swapping

What if they changed the game so that Ultimate charge carried over between heroes? That would be really interesting. You could have situations where people play a fast ult charge characters for a while like Sombra, and then switching to somebody with a more situationally useful ult like Mercy or Junkrat.

I actually dont see why they don't do this, it would be cool and people would change class a lot more.

The community.

Typical blizzard based fanbase with sprinkles of FPS MLG faggotry on top.

Where everyone thinks they're amazing; dont take any accountability for doing poorly and generally have a "fuck my team, I'm a Hanzo main." attitude.

Don't forget NO region locking so you get stuck with a bunch of Smirnoffs or other subhuman high ping refugees. All whom admit they go to American servers because their own people are garbage.

>>385553429
It's not that far from the truth though. Going from TF2 to Overwatch makes it feel so slow.

>>385546172
The game revolves around who has the best hitscan or genji, in most maps if i want to be sure i just roll genji or tracer or soldier, doesn't matter if offense or offense.
.
Aside from that it has the same problem that every blizzard game has, which is insane swinging balance, every patch you already know who is getting fucked for the next 3 months and who's gonna fuck everyone, and then the tables turns.
I have to trade picking what i want for what my team needs because most people are russian tier and instalock soldier/widow/genji every round, not even agreeing on going 1 round dps 1 round tank or something.

tldr: nu blizzard and everyone must win attitude

>>385553627
You get a lot of hacking South Koreans too because they can use hacks on NA servers without legal consequence, where as it's illegal for them on SK servers because their country is literally only worth its esports autists.

it's hard to pinpoint why overwatch sucks since they tried some pretty new things and managed to pull it off in a sense. i'd say lack of content but that never stopped me from putting 1000+ hours into TF2 and csgo. game is just not that fun.

>>385553701
Why is hitscan still a thing in modern FPS? What happened to fast projectiles?

Most characters besides soldier and tracer feel castrated because avoid too many characters reward skill would make shitters unable to do anything in a fps.
This leads to having soldier/tracer/genji the only characters worth using if you really want to carry.

>>385553785
Throwers are put into low Elo ranked groups.

Yes, even quickplay had Elo. It's just not shown to the player. You have a hidden matchmaking rank for all game modes.

That's one of the main reason people complain about facing the same players over and over in quickplay. That person has nearly the same quickplay rank as you so the game prioritizes putting you in the same game.

If you are getting a lot of throwers, you must suck ass at the game and be in the shitter tiers

>Aside from that it has the same problem that every blizzard game has, which is insane swinging balance, every patch you already know who is getting fucked for the next 3 months and who's gonna fuck everyone, and then the tables turns
That shit also limits the viable hero pool to such a narrow selection, that there's almost no room for experimentation in the metagame. The ultra-stale meta is really the worst killer for the game, there are only a handful of characters that are worth playing and the game has so shallow gameplay mechanics that playing one hero constantly gets boring fast, as there's really only one main thing to do with each one.

Having TF2 style loadout options would be great, would give a bit of variety in playing one hero.

Slim pickings. I don't think a lot of people are playing competitive.

>>385553912
For me it's easy. The way they failed with Overwatch is pilling on tons of limitations for no good reason.

Unless you go through several menus to get to the dead as fuck "custom server" stuff which is just full of meme garbage, you can't play a game mode with a specific map; you can't even queue up in quickplay for ONLY payload or ONLY CP or ONLY king of the hill. You need to queue up for everything. You can't play a game with more than 6 players, even in the custom servers where they let you completely assfuck all forms of balance. You can't have multiples of one character on your team (this one stings all the more because you USED to be able to but they took it away). You can't change characters during a game without getting fucked over as it takes away all of your ultimate charge.

That's the story of Overwatch. Tons of things you CANT do for no good reason.

After the Anniversary debacle, I just stopped caring. I tried Doomfist on the PTR, but I then realized I just wasn't having fun with the game.

I hadn't had fun since like, February.

>>385553596
That'd have it's own problems with certain ults. Someone hot swapping to Pharah would win games.


Plus, not all ults charge at the same rate anyways.

I fucking hate Symmetra with a burning passion mostly because of how badly Blizzard keeps fucking up her gameplay. She's either unfun to play or unfun to play against because they stubbornly refuse to make her a defense character like she deserves and keep trying to hold her in the support category and they end up shooting themselves in the foot.

Alright /v/ since you're the arbiter of which games people should be playing, what FPS should I be playing right now?

No CS:GO please.

are there any good TF2 servers around anymore? i miss idort's re/v/enge.

Why does it take SO LONG to find a fucking match? It takes almost ten minutes for me to find a quick match without fail

>>385555113
Because people are abandoning the game in droves.

About time, too. Maybe Blizzard will actually do something about it.

Ha.

I play Paladins and I like it better.

>>385555113
Your matchmaking Elo is either too high or too low.

If it's too high, most people switch to playing competitive instead of quickplay. Try doing some comp matches maybe

>>385555016
Rising Storm 2, Squad, Insurgency, TF2

>>385554831

Yeah if custom servers were more visible and let more than six people play, I think more people would be willing to give it a shot. As it stands it's really hard to play the way you want because Blizzard wants to keep every mode ranked-uniform.

>>385546389
>for some strange, unknown reason, TF2 of all things has somehow become somewhat popular again

It's hardly strange. TF2 gives you a lot of freedom to do whatever you damn well please and every class can be played in a way that's impactful and meaningful without running into a tank that blocks all your shots or a bitch medic that resurrects every player you killed.

Overwatch promised to scratch the class based itch, but all it did was remind people of how good they had it with TF2.

Slow updates and the fact that a hero I enjoy playing might get the Blizzard balance treatment for months at a time. For fuck's sake it's not even intentional like how they randomly bugged Reinhardt and then left him like that for two months. Another huge thing to me is the small team sizes. With only six people on a team your weakest link has a much bigger impact on your match than if you had larger teams. Of course most of the maps would need to be reworked to account for larger teams but it's not like they can't get worse at map design.

>>385546172
Honestly, because it's Overwatch
It's a 6v6 nerf ball fight with superheroes. Everyone has "shit my pants and escape" abilities on 10s cooldown. There's no foundation for building personal skill off of. It's a big joke.

>>385555414
They could have 12 man teams and the maps wouldn't need to be changed. There are already multiple flank routes and tons of open space on every map.

>>385555365

>>385554360
>How about if they removed ultimates entirely?

Then the game would actually be playable and you wouldn't have to make characters like Sombra garbage just because they have powerful ultimates.

But then we wouldn't have MLG BIG PLAY WOMBO COMBO FUN STORIES TO TELL YOUR FRIENDS so Blizzard would never do it even if it's the right thing to do.

The amount of people playing videogames in general has increased. a "dead" game like Gigantic or Rising Storm 2 has as many players as an extremely popular game 15 years ago

because i'm fucking awful at it and i just don't have fun with it anymore. I don't understand because i'm genuinely decent at most games i play but then i turn on overwatch and every match might as well be a 5v6 since i'm such a liability to my team. I keep getting ranked platinum even though i play like a silver I just think their mmr system must be completely fucked.

>>385552031
i hate that you still loss points after someone leaves. they should make it so you loss less points so it wont hurt you so much.

a gigantic commerical success from the creators of WoW owned by one of the most jewish and rich publishers in video games.

still gets no updates and the only person working on the game is jeff.

Same thing I disliked about in it to begin with, overly long queus that just put me into a skirmish then back into a queue then finally into the game just to have an extremely short match and repeat.

>>385555723

I don't get this meme. There are plenty of ultimates where, if you put them in the same location as EMP, would do much more damage to the enemy team. Particularly the damage dealing ones like Junkrat or Reaper

This shit right here. Every time my friend ends up convincing me to play this garbage it is always the same. I learned to accept at least 1 Genji every match because it is natural phenomenon and he sometimes draws enemy fire while he jumps around like an autist poking harambe's shield for 15 with each cardboard shuriken.

But for the love of god I cannot stand snipers in this game. It certainly doesn't help that in every match there's average of 3 snipers but why 97% of them must be drooling retards. Fucking Hanzo and Widow are worst case of feast or famine I've seen in any game yet. Their are virtually afk and virtual shot in the kneecaps for the team or if you are lucky and met 0.5% of their playerbase they are oneshotting 3 people in span of 5 seconds from the other side of the map. How can that not be fucking fun am I right?

I'd like to play this game but every time I get into a match and see instalocked widow/hanzo combo I just don't want to bother anymore. Just give me a option to not play with cod kids.

As a side note: only time I've seen someone switch from widow because they were getting dicked was to pick fucking hanzo.

>>385556187
You know what else stops them?

Killing them. Other ults can just kill them.

>>385546172
It's just fucking dull. Gameplay wise things are patched way too fucking slow. The characters barely get deeper than surface level memes. The maps just feel flat and lifeless. And boring metas.

>>385555723

The Roadhog nerf. He was the only other tank I played besides Winston. He always the first choice for me in 3v3 and before they updated 3v3, he was all I played for that mode to get my weekly boxes done fast. Roadhog was probably one of the most fun characters I have played in the game. It was fun to hook mercies even if they are in the sky pocketing pharahs and then hear them bitch like babies after I kill them. That and Blizzard can't balance.

There's literally nothing wrong with dive meta. It works very well because the game is supposed to be played in a fast paced scenario.

Winston is bs tho and the pro scene doesnt have many actually good players like cs go for example. Even koreans arent that good.

Pretty much.

>Today, Mercer confirmed something that, in my sad state last night, I had insisted to my teammate: Our ratings are artificially lowered around 200 points between seasons. But during a player’s first 40 to 50 games that season, wins will bring in more SR than they normally would until you’re back up to your real, accurate ranking. “We do that to give you a sense that you are improving over time,” Mercer explained
>Mercer understands that it can feel bad to see a low rating after grinding out placement matches. He says it was a compromise: “A lot of game designers make trade-offs between varying goals that sometimes work at opposites. This is one where we made the decision to lower you initially so, as you play, you have a more positive experience.”

But it's a good thing we don't have to worry about Roadhog's hook any more, am I right?

It's simply not fun. Every single match plays out the same you just stand around building ult charge then the ults go off and you will either lose the fight or win it. rinse and repeat for the rest of the match until you 50/50 win or lose then queue for 15 minutes to do it all over again. I get no enjoyment out of it.

I had fun when the game was new but not anymore.

The game was never fun for me and I never enjoyed it. I only got it because my friends played it and exclusively played it with them.

This game has no depth to it, all the guns shoot like a laser beam, every character save for like 3 presses 1 or two buttons. All of the maps except the space one are fucking trash and feel awful to play. Blizzard's notoriously horrible balancing is once again present with overwatch, and because of this it fails as a competitive esport.

People are tired of having no freedom, tired of no maps, and tired of just slow fucking content in general.

It's been over a year and I still can't opt out of picking which games modes I want to play or not, much less which fucking maps I'd like to play on.

If they released a fully fledged Man vs Machine mode people would come back, they made half an attempt with that one mode that they removed after two weeks and it was the best thing they added.

Two things.

First, it's casual yet tries to play itself off as competitive. Every match is the same. You're forced to have a certain composition, keeping with the meta, which means you can't use the characters you may want to. For example Winston is the tank to use in serious matches at the moment. You like Roadhog? Well fuck you.

All matches play out the same. Now that you're playing the current meta heroes, all you do is stand around and wait until your ults are all charged. Then both teams press q, and one will gain an advantage based on the meta-team composition that I stated earlier. It's braindead.

And lastly, Blizzard cannot balance for shit. Instead of keeping all characters viable they constantly make some useful while simultaneously making others worthless. This ruins competitive play and even casual play at the lowest level, since your favorite character may now be either absolutely shit or just worthless.

>>385550624

>>385558162
I forgot about Zenyatta, sorry. I play robo-man, too.

Not enough content being released, and whatever is new becomes old very quickly due to how shallow it is, doomfist hype is already gone.

No reason to keep playing, no discernable difference between gold level players and master level players, and because of the content drip, everyone already has what they want from lootboxes.

They need to get that awesome dev team from hots and swap them right now, they shouldve had at least 6 new heroes and maps by now, even if some heroes feel samey at least ot would mix up team comps a little.

The game is pretty good. Whats kills it, its the comunity.

You will match with people who doesn't know how to work as a team, try maining suport and then see how it goes.

Another proof that the comunity kills the game is the pandering for nerfs on interesting heroes, such as Ana, Symetra and Roadhog. And since Blizzard panders to its cancerous comunity, the game becomes shittier too.

The times i matches with masterful players really got my blood pumping, it would have such a intense match that it maks you feel small, but you dnt feel for losing. Its like you've grown a lot in a single match, you learn a shit ton of strats and playstyles. But matches like these will 1/100 literally.

Goes like this, Roll a die to get a good map, Then roll a die to see if you play a fun hero, then roll a die to see if you have fun teammates. You cannot fuck around in overwatch. There are meta characters you MUST play. If you choose to play casual, you are stuck in more or less competitive rules with the same shitty maps and characters, but 0 chance of team work. There is no RJ+Market Gardner soldier to fuck around with. There is no Minisentry Engineer. There are no alternative playstyles requiring any degree of skill. Shallow, slow, stale, repetitive.

pharmercy is still good on some maps, but mostly there are better picks. Roadhog nerf was needed but they did it in a horrible way and it accidentally unleashed the dive meta upon us.

it's like one of those animes where the evil guy was actually the good guy and you dont learn it until they kill him. Roadhog was the only thing preventing the dive meta we have now.

The meta right now is winston/dva/dps/zen/lucio

dps is the only thing that varies, but the game is still stale and relies a lot on dps players as long as your tanks are playing good which isn't exactly a hard thing to do

There isn't enough gameplay diversity. Which is strange given the amount of unique heroes and their intricacies.
I think a lot of the problem from me stems from the lack of maps/modes and the over-reliance on low tier strategy and team comp. You can't just load into a random map and have some mindless fun... I hate to make the comparison but think 2fort, koth. or orange maps in TF2.

Basically, the game isn't a very good shooter and the strategy elements lack depth.

Blizzard's stupid obsession with the Trinity combined with the shitty meta they're too slow to change is what is killing OW.

Being FORCED to always have X, Y, and Z heroes, and the other three roles always being 1 of 2 competitive choices, just fucking kills the game.

But Blizzard does this in ALL of their games.

Because someone is always forced to tank when they don't want to, or dps when they don't want to, or heal when they don't want to, the game sucks.

And because the skills for tanks, dps, and healing are wildly different, people being forced to play other roles typically suck.
Like when you get into a game and see 5/6 of your team are Mercy mains, you know you lose because someone who plays Mercy at a Master's level cannot play D.Va or Rein or S76 or Genji or anything else at a Master's level.

Again: Blizzard's Trinity is the source. Because it specialized heroes to such an absurd degree that people with 1000 hours in the game cannot play half the roster well because their niches are different.

Then there's the meta. Nothing needs to be said there. Metas always suck.


The thing is the game's just not fun because you can only play the same handful of the roster at a time. Junkrat's never been meta. Hanzo neither. Bastion was meta for a day then got nerfed.

I still love the game, but for the first time I need to take a break from it. Not because of the game, or the balance changes, but because of the way the community is acting on the current meta and balance.

I play the game because I like the take on FPS with a focus on unique abilities, combined with the tank/damage/heal trinity. But right now that's not how it feels like it plays.

Quick Play is essentially worthless if you want to play the game as its intended because it's a DPS playground.

But that's what Competitive mode is for, right? Except not with how people play the current meta. Dive has promoted a fast, "just dive and hope your team comes out with more kills" playstyle that makes any tank that isn't Winston or D.Va useless, and promotes high DPS team comps which often means teams are running at least 3 DPS. This is in turn promoting more and more DPS players, to the point the five Comp matches I've played today have never had less than 3 DPS on either team, and at times my teams have even gone 4 DPS (and it never fucking works).

To make matters worse, you do well as a tank and you bet someone on the enemy team will pull out new Reaper and you're just fucked because the best any tank can do against Reaper is D.Va DMing him and hoping her team kills him before it runs out. And even if Reaper didn't exist, this DPS heavy meta basically necessitates Winston and only Winston (maybe Zarya too if your tracking is good enough).

Even healing is less enjoyable now because the Roadhog changes have completely removed him from play, which means flankers like Tracer and Genji have nothing to fear and can dive on backlines to their hearts content.

To top it all off, all this DPS wankery only serves to make DPS players even more selfish and abrasive, making teams in general less cooperative across the board.

tl;dr, I love the game, I love the intention behind it, but current balance changes and the overpopulation of DPS players are utterly killing it for me

Why don't they just release a matchmaking option where you're only looking to play a specific role
It would be just like wow where retards picking dps will always wait hours and tanks/support will install queue

TF2 was 12v12, and you could get by with just 1 medic most of the time.

OW is 6v6, and you're best having two supports. The chances of that happening in QP is low but not so low the other team won't be the exception. Every time.

Fuck Overwatch and snowflake faggots who refuse to pick anything but DPS. "It's quick play xD". Bitch, where else do I practice for comp? There's arcade mode for not trying to win.

A proper game should build a player up, rewarding their success.
Overwatch pushes players down, punishing them for the failures of others.
It's a recipe for disaster.

The fact that the entire game is based on the Q button and that it's a completely overrated game.
It's fun for like an hour every 2 weeks, but that's the most I can play.

yeah but that's 3 hours just to get started, and even though each match itself is the same game you'll be playing once you qualify for the season proper, it feels like you aren't accomplishing anything for the actual season.

Hmm.

I think a big factor is that there's nothing to work for. I already have just about everything from the loot boxes, and whenever they put out limited time boxes I simply buy the one or two skins/emotes that I like and be done with it.

>people that have fun playing overwatch
>not dragging the human species down

Idk how people can excuse themselves to play this banal shit wtf is wrong with you all

"Competitive" video gaming was a mistake.

What makes TF2 a classic is it was not developed under the notion that it MUST be a competitive shooter first and foremost, second being something people will want to watch on Twitch. It was just a class-based shooter made to be, you know, fun. It had no other agendas.

I assume people are just now beginning to realize that while it's fun to be competitive, it isn't fun when it's shoved down your throat as a part of the core game. Which this game sort of does. Doesn't help that the maps are pretty much just long hallways with like 5 chokepoints in between the first and final points.

>game is not in a peak of popularity
>that somehow means it's dead

I know /v/ is mentally challenged at most but this is not how it works. How the fuck Overwatch is supposed to have the same amount of playerbase or increase it all time? Game is great but after 200hrs you can feel burned out.
