What the fuck happened to Overwatch?

I mean, I had shitloads of fun with it during the beta and first year. There were some frustrating elements in terms of balance, sure, and the community is pure cancer, but I just had so much fun either by myself or playing with some mates.

After the Halloween event for me, the game just became dull and boring and I can't exactly place my finger on why. The game just doesn't feel fun anymore, and I feel like I've done everything there is to do in the game many times over. I'm sure the drastic hero overhauls they're doing might make things at least a little more fresh, but they just don't interest me. Hell, Orisa and FUCKING DOOMFIST being added didn't even give me any hype or urge to play the game again.

Am I just shit, or is it actually the game for once?

The game was never actually good to begin with.

There's no content, got stale quickly.

the game has no depth. the only people who haven't gotten bored of the game yet are massive blizzard fanboys, or people who jerk it to the waifus on an obsessive level. even a shitty kids shooter game like splatoon has more depth in its core mechanics than overwank does, and lets not bring up the god tier that is arena shooters, as those make overwank look like some kids first attempt at making an fps

>no core mechanical depth
>only depth the game has is in hero abilities
>every hero only has few abilities and an ult

After playing the game for a month, you will have seen 100% of what the game has to offer in terms of mechanics. It's also a game that doesn't emphasize player skill, which is one of the core reasons why people love shooters in the first place. You can have a team based shooter that also allows an individual to express themselves, but Blizzard is so intent on making sure the game requires team play that they're hobbling solo play potential.
>>
>>389867691
No depth, meaningless slow updates and extremely retarded balancing.

Why play when you experience all what it has to offer after a couple games?
No depth makes you not want to put effort OR time into the game because every single game boils down to the exact same spammy shit into ult galore into point taken/defended.

Coupled that with the absolutely pants on head retarded stuff and balancing like sombra horrible design and uselessness 99% of the time, 76, dive and tons of other shit and all you're left is a terrible game that people hate to play and that bores them to death.

It's also not just you, people are leaving and shittalking the game en masse because the honey moon phase is over and all these flaws are blatant while blizz pats themselves in the back and refuse to admit the issues with the game.

Game needs ammo packs, game needs tricks and skills that clearly differentiate players, game needs content, game needs less choke point spam.

The only reason I care about Overwatch anymore is because of the waifus. Game plays like shit.

>Pic related, the only thing I liked about Mei's short, and modern Overwatch in general

so you got your money's worth. blizzard already has your money so shut the fuck up.
>>
>>389867691
>play really well
>get punished by raising my MMR
>now im matched with tilted idiots who dont want to play a team game
In comp only your SR should matter
>>
Blizzard is slow at making content for it, and doesn't know how to balance the game at all. The only reason people care about it anymore is because of waifu porn. I know very few people who play the game and actually have fun with it these days.
>>
It needs more pve. Both Doomfist and Orisa were lame addition and all the balance changes have been absolute ass. Need more maps and game modes that they can actually implement in qp/comp.
>>
You presumably played the game for a couple hundred hours and just got bored like a normal person. It's bound to happen, it's just for some reason the hype surrounding overwatch made a lot of people pick it up thinking they were going to be playing it forever when to begin with, they were never the type of person to play a class-based shooter for a long time. It's the same with just about any other multiplayer shooter, or a fighting game, or other genres where the game mostly plays out the same round-to-round.

The game's been out for a year now and most people got it close to release, it's natural for the playerbase to stabilize to be the kind of autists that play the same shooter for years. I played Tf2 for 2000 hours, and 600 hours into this game I'm still going strong. If you can't see yourself doing that it's because you're not a hyper-autist and want fresh experiences from your vidya, that's probably a good thing. This is also the reason people complain about the dlc cycle, they want constant content to create an illusion of freshness, when 99% of shooters throughout the years didn't have that. This whole confusion over why OW feels stale comes from people not understanding that the core of a game like OW is gitting gud through micro-refinements in your play, and enjoying the repetitive deathmatch grind, just like any other fps.

>tfw paladins will get its own doomfist next week wednesday
wooo whens your next champ coming lads :^)
>>
>>389869943
fuck off kaplan, stop ignoring the issues with your game.
I could go play tf2 right now and improve at rocket jumping, trickstabs, air shots, etc.

Meanwhile in OW I can just pick winston and hold m1 and rely on ults and teammates to get anything done

>>389869943
OP doesn't actually care so why bother wasting words? Just call Overwatch shit and leave the thread.

>no depth
>pretty much no content
>playerbase and community are trash
>balance is shit, and blizzard's solution is to make the balance even more shit

I really miss the pre-WoW Blizzard days...
>>
Because there is no point to it. It has very little depth and complexity, but is hard wired to being a team objective shooter only. Compare that to other popular first person shooters. Many of them allow for deathmatch, team deathmatch, and various objective based modes and they all work well. Overwatch has so few modes and does even them horribly.
>>
Bunch of characters in the game are not viable.

People who throw are not punished.

These are the reasons for the game being not fun.
>>
>>389870513
I swear, the period from Warcraft 2 to Warcraft 3's last expansion was when Blizzard hit their apex.

>God tier game design
>Awesome art design
>Amazing soundtracks

I really do miss the days of fucking about in Diablo 1 and 2.

>>389867691
The developers launched a successful game and then made it into a sjw propoganda outlet.

They dont' care about adding content. Try paladins.
