Thank god OP, we needed another fucking overwatch thread

>>387053880
It got stale really quickly. I still drop in for a few days when they decide to pump out a good update (which is almost never) but that's about it.

Shitty balance updates and retarded new heroes.

>>387053880
Social justice updates

>What is all games ever released?

Almost all games drop off like this because most people are fucking idiots who fall for marketing shit then continue to fall for next months marketing shit.

>>387053880
Do you have a source on that number? If there were that level of a catastrophic drop I feel like more people would be harping on it, similar to what happened to The Division and For Honor.

>>387054172
queue times are at an average 3 mins long

also the people you play with are always the same people

The balance is bad and the community is terrible even by multiplayer video game standards. Blizzard also takes their sweet time adding maps and characters, but they're sure to add skins and shitty minigames every other month.

>>387053880
Boring event and boring meta. Not even a new competitive mode in one year.

>>387053880
I tried the game, didn't find anything about it enjoyable. Waste of $40. If I had to guess, people were playing it because it was the latest meme. Now that the novelty has worn off, people have no incentive to play it because it's not very good and gets old very quickly.

Too many no skill heroes.

I like the game but dva/winston/niggerfist/reaper are fucking bullshit heroes that require no aim and no skill whatsoever.

Can you believe there are people who play winston ONLY in the pro scene and make money out of it. Blows my mind.

They need to shift the game to heroes that take some skill to play.

>>387054236
it's certainly lower but not 10%

>>387053880
>shit servers
>shit balancing

>>387053880
source on your numbers

I'd like Overwatch to be doing poorly just as much as anyone else, but please don't tote around this kind of shit without any actual proof behind it.

Blizzard refuses to release actual playercount numbers, and there's no other way to track it without them.

>>387054320
because queue times and anecdotal evidence = 90% loss in playerbase
Real citation please.
I kept getting the same people at the game's peak, it proves nothing

Just wait for Lucio Ball rewards to reset and it will be back to "normal".

>>387053880
What did they even do in that year? Release one new map and two new characters?

>>387054320
Neither are true for me

literally no depth beyond small mechanical quirks with each hero, like the Genji super jump shit
once you have like 100 hours in the game every match plays the exact fucking same
only fun is when you do meme comps in a stack with friends
also
Gigantic is better so play that instead

Low skill ceiling ASSFAGGOT trash.
I've been playing the suprerior Lawbreakers instead

the game is shallow and not very good

>>387053880
That statistic triggered my bullshit detector, but I'm willing to believe there are significant fewer players.

The real answer is the lack of content to keep players interested, cause in most part by strangling off community creators.

>>387056985
you had to ruin it with the shillerino

time passes and new games get released constantly.

aside from PUBG, show me a game with massive player retention.

CS:GO, TF2 and Dota do not count. It had to be released the previous year and still have a large amount of its players.

They removed 6v6 no limits totally from the game

>>387053880
>>now has 10% of players it had a year ago
dead game meme

>>387057191
i fuckin love gigantic
i gotta shill it

Community sucks, gameplay gets old fast, new updates only introduce cosmetics, it's been more than a year and there's only been 4 characters added, only one of which seems viable.
I stopped playing when my friends stopped playing. Now the only person I know that still plays is a tryhard piece of shit that doesn't play games for fun but to ruin other people's day (his words). So I'd rather play other games where I can avoid people like that.

>>387057236
This was my favorite mode, you could do such stupid comps with this. It made casual fun mode into practice competitive mode.

>>387053880

Turns out an FPS where most of the characters have shield or stun abilities and an instakill button isn't very fun

It is by no means dead but there are many problems with the game
>content gets released slower than fucking korean F2P mmo updates
>skins are used as new content and are the only motivation to play
>blizzard clearly cannot balance for their lives
>it's the same game as it was back in the beta, just with one "new" game mode every 2 months for 2 weeks

riiiight

blizzard thinks drip-feeding content is the way to keep the playerbase happy when all it does is make them bored

idk man. As far as I can tell, it's still completely active and healthy. We still get OW threads daily. Hell there's 4 or 5 threads RIGHT NOW. Far as I can tell, nothing's really gone wrong.

>>387058831

Waifu threads don't count

>>387054320
but when i play paladins I get 12 second queue times
does that mean paladins has more players?

>>387054054
this is fucking unacceptable
i bet someone with a lot of money could sue and win but only in EU, in the states you just queue up and stfu

how do we not now the exact amount of active players?
aren't there websites constantly tracking playtime and stats and shit, why cant they just add up all the accounts with playtime in the last month or something?

>>387054054
>playing OW on PC in the first place

lol

Thats a result of the matchmaking system, not low player count. you are experiencing long queue times because you exceptionally bad or good and not average.

>>387059210
because there is no way to actually get the accounts play times for everyone
apart from those stupid reports at the end of an event which dont really tell us anything

>>387053880
People moved on to Splatoon 2 because it's better in every way and has more memes.

>>387053880
>now has 10% of the players

source? They didn't release player base at all at anytime so idk how you got this.

Its all circlejerking and waifu posting on VG, dont pretend like its not 4 people posting back and forth.

Large marketed games get everybody's attention, but not everyone wants to always play it, kind of like a child with a new toy.

Okay, man.

>>387058831
When I used to play the game on console, I would see the same people so many times I was tempted to just add them because of how frequently we played together.

>>387061175
Spoilers; it was a joke. it's a joke article making fun of retards who actually prefer console/controller shooters.
