How did Blizzard create something so immensely, overwhelmingly popular only for it to be a ghost town a year later?

But it is. Lemme guess, you're gonna go look at Twitch and see it's got 20 thousand viewers and think that means anything? Nobody plays this shit game anymore. Long queue times even during popular hours. Competitive meta has zero variety and is being ran into the ground by retarded devs. Still one of the most boring esports to spectate.

It is and isn't, tons of people still play it, but the playerbase has dropped

it is though? i enjoy the game but you can't pretend the game is deep. most of the proplayers have ranted about it already

Maybe not directly, but it inspired TF2's garbage matchmaking system that basically just tried to force the game to become a shittier version of OW, thus killing it pretty hard.

Pretty sure the que times are only that shitty because of Blizz's matchmaking coding. Its pretty much been like that since day 1.

I think it's a boring e-sport because comentators and the ones doing the camera work have no clue yet.

In Dota they always get 1 playByplay and 1 analyst comentator, at least one of them says reasonable stuff.
What I've seen from OW is they get 2 playbyplay comentators who got no idea of what's going on and adding to shitty camera following the tracer all the time it's obvious they can't do a good job at casting what happens.

But then again, there are not many serious esports with major following out there atm.

Great marketing, wonderful polish, shit game.

Everyone bought it because everyone else did, but the game being fun with friends can only carry it as long as your friends are actually playing. Eventually you realise the game extremely scripted and the only people left to play with are the sort of whiny shitters that you play in stacks to avoid.

Also the forced esports right off the bat made all the reddit follower types get hung up on stupid "meta" shit that didn't apply to them and they ruined the game for everyone else.

No one would be annoyed had it not been forced in.

The worst kind of SJW pandering is when they add fucking We waz Kangz black people in settings like Ravenloft in a Transylvania inspired setting, You got Ivan Ivanescu the black African and everyone is so progressive and shit. If they are so progressive, Why is everyone white and black? Why is there no mixed?

Fuck that, there is natural and normal ways to add in different people with diffferent cultures and shit but forced is just lame as fuck.

Everyone and their mother is so diverse, acceptant of others yet somehow they are all looking different after decades upon decades upon fucking forever of livign side by side.
>>
not dead but definitely blunted

the pyro update will be interesting. there hasn't been a good update since gun mettle, but there hasn't been competition like OW either. TF2 just printed money unopposed before OW came around

gonna be nice to see what valve actually trying for the first time in years looks like. if it fails, much of TF2s remaining playerbase probably will just say fuck it and pick up OW

There are only two young white men characters in Overwatch.
Two. Rest of the white cast are old or women
Most of the cast is not-white.
Demographic for fps games is young adult white men.

>>387129946
>>387130034

I honestly give zero fucks about the Overwatch diversity. They can add in fucking Aliens for all I care, I like the cast in the game. Except the Swede is a fucking Dwarf and got no Swedish lines.

What I mean is when they obviously add in shit like black lords in Poland in the time of the Flood (when the fucking Swedes just could not stop invading). That is the pandering shit I do not like. Like having Jackie Chan play Vladimir Lenin or some shit or Michael Caine playing Nelson Mandela. Thats just bullshit.
>>
>>387130165
>characters have to be my exact age and skin colour for me to enjoy playing as them
I would rather play literally any of the characters over solder 76. Just because I'm a young adult white man doesn't mean I want to play as generic army guy.
>>
>>387130269
But its interest no? Another curious thing is there are a few middle age heroes but they are all not white or ambiguous.
One thing that is really bizarre is that there is all the old females all have somesort of lore justification why they look 18 still even though they are heading into middle and old age.
In contrast the old male characters are all noticably old.
>>
>>387130180
I forgot that Overwatch is actually based on true history, and that Doomfist was blackwashed from his real life ethnicity. If you don't care about Overwatch's diversity and instead only care about these other instances of blackwashing, why do you post in this thread?

I did tell you I do not care about Overwatch. I would not even call it diverse. All of them are special people, put in a special world to fight Talon or Overwatch or any other faction. They can add 20 Tibetan goat farmers tomorrow, if they are cool to play, I say nothing. In Overwatch they can add in most things without making it cringey or forced.

I said when it is noteably forced shit. Like a 500 year old nation of acceptance, where white and black or wtf other race you talk about, lived side by side, same way of life, same religion, same traditions. And yet somehow, they are not intermixed?

It is silly damn notion that is how it works.

Because they spent hundreds of millions of dollars marketing the game and everyone with an IQ above 80 soon realised it's as shallow as a puddle. Blizzard's new moneymaking strategy is not consistent, paced out, long term quality it's just making shiny, well polished games with mass market appeal. They then blitz the fucking shit out of the marketing for them to get as many box sales as possible and then sink their grubby hook into as many addicts as they can by packing their games with gambling lootbox bullshit.

You can see this with all their new games, they don't give a fucking shit about sub numbers for WoW any more because they know dumbfucks will make up for the sub fee losses by buying the latest store mount en masse.

>>387130657
From a game design perspective it's completely defensible. Look at tf2. It had 9 classes, each with a unique role and playstyle. They made each one unique in appearance, down to their silhouette, using mostly physiques, height, and weapons to help players keep them apart. There were 6 confirmed white guys, one black scot, one man perpetually in a balaclava, and one in a HAZMAT suit. So, if they had to add in 5 more classes, would they be able to retain the same unique looks with distinctive silhouettes? They'd probably add women and change up skin color more.

Overwatch has even more heroes, and the last thing we need is for them all to blend together as one. When each hero has a different set of skills, abilities, and varying threats posed to you, the player, you want their appearances to be distinctive so you can better learn to play better versus different team comps. If the entire cast was 18-35 white guys, it'd be pretty difficult to give them unique enough appearances that some wouldn't start to blend together.

>Is that McCree?
>No, that's that other guy with a pistol
>no wait it's that OTHER guy
When there are robots, cyborgs, both sexes, and a huge array of races to choose, differentiating characters is easier. I don't want to have to spend 800 hours playing to learn the minute differences between a cast of 26 heroes that all look mostly alike because you couldn't handle a girl or nonwhite appearing in a videogame.
>>
>>387131075
>forced in to fit some kind of new potential market group

So basically you're upset that they're pandering to/advertising to people that are not you. Eat shit. You fuckers call OW a dead game but talk about how OW/PUBG are also the reason nobody is playing Lawbreakers or some other FPS.
I'll explain how business works to you. You make a product to fill a niche, if it's not a niche, then you make a product to sell to as many people as possible. You can hate the game's actual gameplay, but hating it because they added a black man and a latino girl proves you're a fucking shit eater.

>Guess why Bioware turned more fucked in the last 5 to 10 years? It is not cause they suddenly became hardcore caring for stupid shit but mostly cause the suits dropped by and fucked shit up.

You're a fucking idiot. Pay attention almost all the Dragon Age games (despite my personal dislike of them) sold millions. The only place where they dropped the ball was A. TOR and B. Handing Mass Effect to some shit-ass studio of newbies. Sure people can shit on ME3's ending, but we pretty much all agree that the gameplay was solid (though I still prefer the more rpg nature of the first).

Stop fucking talking out of your ass. EA is not breathing down bioware's back telling them, "You must add gay characters and trans characters." Bioware is doing that on their own.

Correction.
I never said Overwatch is a dead game.
You mix me up with others.

The forced in got nothing to do with Overwatch. I just pointed out that this shit happens. If you don't think it happens, Well, why has games become more and more simple in mechanics and depths since the mainstream suddenly took interesting in the filthy nerdy hobby?

Also, EA is fucking up Bioware games. They asked them to make a MMORPG out of Inquisition, suddenly at the end of the production they told them to change path and make a fucking single player RPG out of it.

Mass Effect Andromeda....might have sold a lot but it also killed that part of the Bioware name.

ME3 was solid? The writing was worse, more corridor running to get to knee high shooting galleries. Unfinished quests just listening in on convos, flying to planet random, fly back home. Most options meaning nothing in the end of a great trilogy? The third game had the best combat, which got boring fast meeting the same sort of enemy types with the same sort of knee high covers in similar looking places.

Bioware is a dying company.

Are you actually saying that all white people look the same or that they couldn't use the same design principles they use now to make a white character distinct?

Race has little to do with it. I mean fuck, Warframe has 33 Frames, half male half female. They're all distinct from each other, and gender is not the reason why. Even if you look at just the male frames or just the female frames they are all distinct within their subset.

My queues generally take ~1:30. Still reasonable, as even LoL can see those queue times. If you want to call a game dead, make sure you know what a dead game is like. Go try to get a match in GunZ 2. Even more difficult, try to get 2 consecutive games without having the same 8 or so people in both.

Okay, but why the fuck wouldn't you make those black characters because you thought it would be cool?

Does the fucking Demoman trigger you as much, you fucking tumblrite?

I find a huge-ass tribal Luke Cage while I play a battle-hardened old sniper lady who still is badass in spite of being old barreling down on me to be pretty cool. What would making those characters white fix? What would it add, what would it remove? What harm is there?

All I pointed out is that you could have a cast of 25 white males that were still clearly distinct from each other. I'm not the one that can't imagine 2 white guys not looking like each other. Of course there are cool black characters, but that's irrelevant to the claim "A 25 hero cast of 100% any race would be difficult to tell apart, retard. Kill yourself"

I didn't make the effort to actually quote every post I found grievance with, for which I hereby apologise, because that definitely caused some confusion here. I should not have called you in particular "a fucking tumblrite".

I do find the general trend for the conspiracy theories regarding Overwatch being a propaganda tool for race-mixing to be entirely retarded, shitting up a thematic board that, in spite of its reputation, has seen plenty of quality discussion.

Like, if you're gonna shit on it - which you're entitled to, and I can really understand some points in spite of really liking this game - at least do it with all those informative .webms and actual discussion. I love reading thoughts of Quake and TF2 pros about the game even if they're negative, or that one .webm that showed a Soldier rollout compared to Pharah's rollout.

OW won't die because of how accessible and masturbatory it is. from the beginning it was designed to jerk the player off, even for mediocre performances. which results in a "we're never losing because of me" attitude. and if someone isn't getting showered with pseudo-elims and empty gold medals then they have less fun and instantly start looking for someone else to blame.

not only that but people realized in season 4 that SR doesn't mean shit and they'd sooner throw a match than try to "carry" teammates they deem to be unworthy. this means stubborn off meta picks, trash talkers and one tricks means a throw most of the time.

the constant 50/50 stomps aren't fun, and listening to bitchy teammates isn't fun, never mind the shitty balancing where mobility is king and anything else gets you reported for "throwing"

I behave the same with the two accounts.

At first I was being paired fast with legit people who played very badly, then the queues began to rise and the game paired me against people with low rank but more skill. Smurfs I suppose.

Then I played with some friends, they where 100/200 QP rank, queues increased even more, to 5 minute.

I have played alone for a long time after that, but queues are still in the 5 min.

There's a very good reason Blizzard fanboys don't go after this game. It took Blizzard's idea of making a 'colorful' shooter and truly did something unique and creative with it. Overwatch is incredibly generic in comparison. Most people feel as if it's not even as good as TF2.

I have both PC and PS4 versions of the game and I'll say the gameplay, atmosphere, and community is way better and more laid back on PS4, kind of like the pre-hat TF2 community was. The PC community for the most part still sees it as some E-sport super serious game when in reality its a great game to have fun in and people should invest more time in creating great custom games. Blizz should also make some kind of map editor/better custom game creator if they want the game to last like Halo 3 did

That was for the world championship tourney

>>387139643
You didn't refute shit. You had a whinge about obvious typos and didn't refute the argument that shitty moba games are continually patched to create false longevity.
Also you are a fucking tard for buying games on release in a bugged state.
>>
>>387139751
Another one that can't type and ends up telling me to kill myself because his points are garbage. Please give me a list of games that were released with no bugs and had no balancing issues.

Idiot.

>>387120547
It's not. I'm sick to death of Overwatch and never liked it much but you can find a match in any game mode extremely quickly.

Kill yourself cancer.

Nice list man, classic response.

No its not dumbass.

You're not doing a good job of proving him wrong. Here's a tip, being angry and using insults doesn't constitute an argument.

>>387140297
Still waiting on that list :>

>>387140389
Protip: ad hominem isn't an argument and writing all caps angry responses that don't even discuss the argument which is what that retarded anon opened with.
i know its you retard.

Same thing is happening with Diablo 3.
There are only a few hundred people playing if it's not within a week from the last season start.

All these threads about Overwatch being dead and using queue times as proof.

Are there any actual play stats on the game that show how dead it is?

You know mobas are one unit rts games right kid?
They are specially designed for low iq shitters such as yourself.

Blizzard only shows their numbers if it makes them look good.

Responding to that wrong post or what?

Confirmed underageb& mobas came from warcraft 3.
Stop posting anytime.

It's not dead, but it's pretty low out there.

The reason is simple from what Isee: Meta shifting. It's the same reason HotS is so fucking dead.

Meta shifting works well in traditional MOBAs because after you've been burdened with learning about all the characters, counters, items, skills, runes, etc you want to make proper use of it and learning how to abuse changes in items that will shift the meta around gets you more out what you already spent so much learning.

This doesn't translate to 'casual' well, at all. Overwatch is a pick up and play whenever you want game where you're not learning much you just learn the skillset of about 10 heroes and you're done. No items, no runes, nothing fancy, just the skillset.

This means that when the skillset changes in a way that shifts the meta you're not inclined to bother with it as much because it's not as new and exciting because you're not as invested in it. This bores most people, they move on, meta shifting was always shit, people just put up with it in MOBAs because they already wasted so much time learning the items initially.

The difference between me and him is i can type proper words and you don't have to read my post 7 times to understand what the fuck i'm saying, unless you're in kindergarden which you probably are :>

Who is him? No one cares. Stupid faggot.

>>387141391
OK, farewell my illiterate middle schooler friend.
>>
>>387138132
I think the real reason people don't go after Splatoon is because no one wants to own a dead console like the Wiiu and Switch.
>>
>>387120547
It was always a disparate mess in terms of story, visuals, and longevity scheme.

Had to come down at some point.

Overwatch is in the same boat but blizzdrones keep that shit afloat, Flat box price+MTX is elder jew tier.
>>
>>387120547
People will buy and play anything because it has the Blizzard logo on it. Doesn't mean the game will be good and that they will stick around.
Blizz probably has even more undeserved goodwill than even Valve.

>game is dying because I want it dead!

Why do people here get so angry at video games? No one's forcing you to play the ones you don't like, so what's with the constant raging shitfits?
>>
>>387141706
The only people raging are overwatch shills.
>>
The people invested in this game are so up themselves and are driving people away, on forums, in the game and here.
Say anything remotely less thhan positive about overwatch and you get this wall of blizzdrone noise trolling coming at you.

>>387132271
I hate this game but unless you specify what mode and region you're queued for and what rnak you are then literally who cares

it is still a pretty popular game, but it's also still incredibly mediocre. A very typical modern Blizzard game

I know anonymity allows you to be as retarded as you want without threat of reprecussion, but the "If everyone ran off a cliff I'd do it too" mentality doesn't make you hip or cool or winning against your boogiemen.

So if i'm getting short queue times on master it's even lower on shitter ranks that most of /v/ are on. Of course they'll say it takes them 6 gorrilion minutes to get matched and they won't provide proof.
>>
>>387142863
From what Iv'e seen, bronze/silver takes forever and everything else is pretty quick.
QP still takes like 5 seconds though.

I quit last year and here are some reasons why I think the train is slowing down
>Maps are boring and bad

>Characters are even MORE boring, the new added characters are bad
>blizzard cant balance

>>387142863
at 2200 and i get a party in <15 seconds when I play at like 7pm est on a week day
>>
>>387120547
Can someone explain to my why queue time is 30 seconds?
>>
>>387144617
I have a theory brewing in my mind.
My queue times are 30s tops during prime time, but I play nothing but tanks or support.
Do you by any chance insta lock genji or hanzo every time you play?
>>
>>387122312
If you want constant new heroes then play a moba you cancerous fuck
>>
>>387120547
I dont really care.
They never make SFMs from Zarya, so I dont care about this shitty game anymore.
>>
>>387120858
Kinda late but how are you going to say twitch viewers dont matter but esports does
>>
It's just smart business. If you have a product that you only have to pay for once it wouldn't be beneficial money wise to keep your player base high. The faster the player base drops, the better it is for Blizzard because they'll save money on server costs.

They already have your money, now it's time for you to fuck off.
>>
>>387145956
because this is nu-/v/ and mlg isn't a joke anymore
>>
>>387146260
I'm pretty sure they'd prefer to have lots of active players buying magic gypsy boxes
>>
>>387120547
What do you mean?

I'm playing it right now.
>>
>>387146545
Most people already have all the cosmetics they want after 100 hours or so.
>>
>>387120547
The only thing that's changed is how much people complain now.

I am pumped for grinding lootboxes on Deathmatch
>>
>>387147470
Which is why they'd want to draw in new customers as much as possible, and also periodically release new cosmetics.
>>
>>387147973
Yeah well if they keep releasing sjw pandering skins instead of sexy swimsuit girls then they won't pull anyone in.
>>
>>387123947
>put people from your nearby area to the nearby server so the ping can be kept minimum, while also put people with the closest rank into a game

Fucking lies, I am only lvl 60 and I get thrown into matches with 3 or more silver players who are lvl 600+
The matchmaking is a fucking joke
>>
>>387148709
Plus the queue takes fucking 5+ minutes

>>387139165

Autist manbaby here. I moved on.

>>387131558
10 to 20 second queues for quickplay in Eastern U.S
It's always faster than comp for me.

>>387148709
Your level is not the same as your hidden skill level that they use for matchmaking.

This though. I can't let go and my only hope is the fucking pyro update. Which will actually fucking suck, considering their previous update.
