It's almost certainly an engagement thing.

The whole system is clearly designed to convince players to engage more with the game and I can't see them completely abandoning it to go back to the SR system. the current system has a lot of players go like 2-5 and then not want to play because they know they'll derank.

My big issue is the fact they essentially stole our money. We paid for permanent access to all heros current and future when we bought OW1, and now I have to pay instead.

@@slei4676 I'd argue differently, simply because it did cost $40 anyway and for that kind of price I don't expect the servers to be shut down and denied access to the new heroes after like 6 years of gameplay. Back then, yes it was amazing, we got great value for our money and we could unlock cosmetics through playing, but as an OG overwatch player my issue is that now we have to pay for literally almost all cosmetics and we can't even get the new hero for free without grinding a ridiculous amount of levels on the battlepass, which is really unfair since it's likely that on release, those who bought the battlepass can play the hero whilst they're broken and an essential pick in every match, and then once F2P players or people who formerly bought it finally level to level 65 or whatever, we get to play the nerfed version that sucks ass. If they'd kept giving us P2P players the new heros every release, at least for another few years, like they did with kiriko i'd have been able to get over the cosmetics cause whilst it does take some fun away it doesn't ruin the game. But making content available sooner behind a paywall is literally the definition of P2W and I hate to see one of my former fav games get ruined by greedy devs.

My main beef with 5v5 is that removing a tank makes the line of scrimmage become a point of scrimmage instead. It makes access to backlines much cheaper, meaning supports must be more powerful, either with damage or escape tools. That can be a lot of fun if you play support, but it's decidedly less fun for the other roles.

A lot of negative changes to the game have been centered around making things easier for already spoiled DPS players so Support players never feel bad when it's their turn to ruin the game. I'm not defending that or claiming that toxicity justifies more toxicity, it's just a cycle that Blizzard enforces by balancing around cheese heroes and only listening to one tricks all the time. Their philosophy that it always has to be ez for a basement dwelling autist to win by trolling has been a problem for most Blizzard games.

F2P is a stupid concept to begin with. Skins should not be locked behind paywalls. Instead it should be things that make your life better. For example you could be paying for extra ignore player slots. So your playing gets more fun as you ban more players that bother you. And all it costs you is more money to have a better time. You could also sell queue priority tickets, so you get a game faster if you pay. There are many possibilities that won't interefere with people's game content, but only with their experience.

The problem with 5v5 is that the game isn't meant to be 5v5. Every single hero was designed with multiple tanks coming at you in mind. I would 100% have enjoyed 5v5 more if every hero was rebalanced, but they haven't reworked most of the characters, and the ones they ARE reworking are taking FOREVER.

7:13 - There are various reasons why your 6v6 vs 5v5 points are flawed. I will debunk each of your reasons supporting 5v5: (1) Less players per game equals more games, but you also need more games to fit the same amount of players, so no real advantage here. There are many tank players that have quit playing tank or play tank much less because of 5v5, the devs stopped updating OW1 while working on OW2, and there was 8 tanks, 17 damage, and 7 supports at the end of OW1 (meaning it's more likely a player will find a hero they like in the Damage role more than the other 2 roles, which is why DPS queues were the highest). They needed to focus on improving the tank experience in 6v6 by removing lots of CC like they did for OW2. Also, adding only tank & support heroes to catch up to the number of DPS heroes helps balance queue times per role. (2) There is less for new players to keep track of in 5v5, but in 6v6 they have more time to react to what is going on because of the 2nd tank. 5v5 simplifying things only reduces replayability. (3) Spectating games does not become easier because plays happen significantly faster in 5v5 than in 6v6, so it can be hard to see what happened. (4) Balance does not become easier, because having 1 tank vs 1 tank causes rock-paper-scissor 1-sided match-ups much more often, and balancing all tank match-ups to feel fair is basically impossible to pull off. Tank synergies are no different than DPS or Support synergies; there are good and bad pairs for each role.

5v5 completely killed this game for me. I played non-competitively and loved it. With 5v5 positioning, flanking, the pace of play... it all feels different in a way that supports hyper competitive play and ruins casual play. I'm curious about different ways to play and wish they'd add it to custom games options. Like bringing back 6v6 or even 8v8 as a casual game type. Or 5v5 with 1T 1H 3dps. Thank for the video haven't played ow2 since early this year.

Going to 5V5 does not decrease the wait time for games. Decreasing the spots on teams by 1 spot, increases the wait time for players. The only reason why wait times are short now is because the player count has diminished significantly. Look at the steam user stats online over a period of time, it's a falling knife.

9:57 I think it's been made pretty explicit by the Overwatch team that their balance philosophy boils down to "If everything is OP, then nothing is". They've largely succeeded (or at least, they have done at certain points) in making a game where most every character feels viable. The problem is, in those game states, all those characters are also ridiculously strong, meaning the game becomes less about nuanced play towards trying to make coordinated kills, and more about frantic solo performances - to the point where I wouldn't be surprised if every Adderall vendor in the country were pouring subsidies into Activision Blizzard.

While I agree with alot of what you are saying, I hate to say I think the pricing on the skins is a little outrageous. I know games like fortnite are similar but not only does fortnite give you in game currency via battle pass, it also shows you the model constantly. With there being soo many characters and only seeing the first person model of the skins, it's not a great value proposition

The seasonal model is the best addition for sure. Seasons in OW1 meant almost nothing. Now is everything I wanted every 2-3 months

I’m surprised you didn’t mention new heroes being locked behind the battle pass. That’s a huge issue regarding overwatch 2

Not to mention that, yes it is behind a 15 dollar payment wall. But it is not like that worldwide. For me it is around 1300 currency, which as a student is my monthly food money. It translates into 32 dollars. Also about the skin issue you brought up, average skin is around 1/3 of a rent here. But I somehow get good skins with credits and blizzard throws amazon prime (0.3 dollars here lol) stuff and I get pretty good dealsç

The game was better with 6 v 6

OMG Yeatle that's a really great video very solied point and makes so much sense

I really like your mirror comp idea

Great video and sums up the state of overwatch pretty well. Does it have issues? Yes, but is still a great game that is now getting consistant updates and fun to play for the mosy part. My biggest issue is the ranking system, nobody asked for it to change from ow1. I may havr liked it at first because it felt easier to rank up (which may have been because of the influx of new players) even when barely winning over 50% of my games, but now it feels like I have to win every single game just to have a chance to rank up and if I happen to have a losing record the derank feel way more punishing. At the beginning of season 6 my first card I went 5-0 and went down 2 ranks and I havent played comp since and will probably only play casually until it is changed, which mames me a little mad because I love overwatch and the competitiveness, but right now the is not much incentive to play ranked.

they should add a second robot to push, the robots would face away from each other at the center of the map and each team can only move their robot. your robot will only move if theres more teammates on it then the enemies robot has enemy players. this way you dont have to wait for the robot to run all the way around to start pushing it as a faster hero can get to your teams robot and start moving it or getting a few kills will allow your robot to start being moved and will force the enemies to retreat harder.

I think few cared about PvE. What people wanted was custimization like in Diablo 2, and they knew that it wouldn't be balanced so it would be a sacrifice to do PvE instead of broken PvP.

Just because a game sells skins at, or around the same price as other overly greedy companies, does not make the prices fair or reasonable.

Agree on most things except the meta changing every month. It was soujorn with a mercy pocket: The game for 3 seasons before she was toned down enough. Now its a different tank meta every balance patch. Thats not variety, that's making things broken and nerfing it over and over again. (Ram and Queen being busted as an example)

I'll have to disagree with you with the 5v5. The game was better with 6v6. My rating: 6/6

*Rework "Stay as Team" into a dating app* In overwatch 2 the button stays visible for like 2 seconds max no wonder we're depressed and lonely. Instead, it should let you vote for teammates that you would stay with, and then it should automatically group together whoever swiped each other.

The doom at the end had me wheezing

I like how u try to talk very positive about the game in the end, that level of copium was insane

Great video with a bunch of solid points. The hero mirror mode you mentioned was particularly interesting. I always wonder what a hero draft mode with no hero swapping could be like for for overwatch, where both teams can draft a team comp where you cant mirror picks. (Similar to LOL) anyways keep up the good work!

9:12 Blizzard did try this back in the day, but they went around it wrong. They blacklisted a couple specific heroes in each role, then left it to sit for 2 weeks. If each game was like the duel arcade mode where the hero pool changes each time randomly, that would thrive.

Souvenirs should be things that you can send to your opponent's base so they can see it when they respawn.

They should make the souvenirs objects u can place, similar to sprays

Or, make them giblets that drop off your elims. Or deaths. Something.

Great video, getting tired of doomers. Flashpoint is the perfect example of what can be done when the PVP aspect of the game is the focus, imagine if they had never gone down the PVE route that no one really cared about and had focused all their resources on making the actual game better. If I wanted a PVE story game I'd play something else. As far as rank goes, I think if they at least made it update on 5 losses it would be way better. Nothing is more demoralizing than being 3-9 and basically just be playing to find out how much you de-rank. I'd rather just de-rank right away and get a new card. Also souvenirs are the most boring shit, only thing anyone ever uses is the heart emote on mercy players.

​@lukasg4807 Buddy, they FORCED you to stop playing the original Overwatch with the PROMISE that OW2 was going to be for the PvE. All they actually did is force you to migrate for a different shop.

I dont agree with defending the skin prices because overwatch was a game i paid 60 dollars for in 2016 and the game i bought just doesnt exist anymore. I looked forward to saving up currency for the next event every few months to get skins for my favorite characters and they took that from me. Blizzard isnt a small studio who needs moneyto fund their projects they chose this horrible monetization practice simply because they want more money the fastest way possible and they know people will be willing to dump cash on skins. Havent enjoyed overwatch 2 and i just want the original one back

Sunk over 1k hours in the first game only to retire into the second season of overwatch 2. TERRIBLE

okay but that stall at the end has me cackling

the difference between fortnite skins and apex/ overwatch skins is that in fortnite not only can you actually see the skin at all times, you also dont need a skin for each hero and you can use it all the time.

THATS WHAT IM SAYING THESE MF’S DUMPING WHOLE PAYCHECKS ON ONE APEX CHARACTER. Imagine how good Apex would be if Respawn didn’t succeed off melee skins and instead making the game bigger like fortnite. Now the game is stale asf.

for the average casual player i think it’s practically impossible to enjoy playing flashpoint

"Best skins in the fps genre" "Best looking maps in the fps genre" bro come on. Is the "honest review" title a joke? This is the most biased thing I've ever seen.

This video was crazy biased

DUDE the "filtering VODs from Top 500 heroes to watch" idea is awesome!

You said “we got 3!” Lmfao

Stop saying OW2 is free to play. It's NOT. Many of us PAID FULL PRICE for OW1 which got replaced with this garbage.

love overwatch ! nice video !

I won’t ever forgive them for completely removing Overwatch for Overwatch 2. I’d rather pay 40 dollars and have to go through loot crates then deal with whatever they turned it into

Great video! I think i pretty much agree with everything besides 5v5 vs 6v6. I love the way the game played in 6v6 even when the balance was at it's worst the tank synergy was a big part of the game for me. I also just think the game flowed much better in 6v6, I haven't played the game in a couple months now when i used to play everyday. I think it's time to accept that game just isn't for me anymore. Which sucks cause OW is where I liked to spend most of my time.

6v6 was so much better. Every reason he gave for how to improve 5v5 was what made 6v6 more viable

oh thank god a top 500 player is giving criticism! I can't wait how fast this game will get even more fucked because some ranked player came up with a bunch of non-solutions to problems they can't possibly comprehend!! 🥰🥰🥰🥰🥰🥰🥰🥰🥰🥰🥰🥰

The fact that ow2 made us pay for Missions isn’t justifiable, they made us wait years for ow2 just to give us scraped mediocre pve and left content in ow1 dry as a hell. The absolute least they could do is give us a free story mode, it’s a slap in the face.

I've had the opposite experience with flash point maps as someone that mainly plays quickplay these days and isn't top 500: They are so SO steam-rolly and once a team has the point, vast majority of the time they're gonna take it, the other team are being funnelled through really insecure chokes and the point gives so much advantage to the winning team most of the time. The variety is cool but I've come to dread flashpoint even more than push now cause its so steam roll prone. Plus once the point is captured its like everyone just awkwardly turns round and runs to the next point and if you're team dont do that.. you're losing that point

tl;dr if you ignore the bad parts then it's good. yeatle is a genius as always

How much did they pay you?

I miss unlocking things by just playing the game. I have 50 to 60 things unlocked for each Overwatch 1 hero, all from random loot boxes. I'll never unlock anything for the Overwatch 2 heroes unless I buy a battlepass

yet another banger vid

Great vid. Actual content effort. And really appreciate sticking to objective perspectives and not exposing even more unneeded (but popular) toxic opinions :) And to each their own I guess, but I wonder how many players disagree with on one or two things: 1) "Mirror Matches would be balanced and fun mode" - yeatle... no way! Even MORE restrictions? I bought this game for Open Queue and it won game of the year. I actually wish the game would hero lock across both teams so only one of every hero could exist in a match ACROSS both teams at any given time. 2) "Let players browse top 500 replays" - yeatle... no! It's funny that you say Ball+Hog is a bad combo, because I remember a time when that was a meta (in metal ranks?) and everyone wanted that. But the point here is that the SINGLE BIGGEST TOXICITY of OW for its entirety for most players is pressuring teammates to swap. And because this game allows swaps mid match, this dilemma is compounded with every death. "You keep dying, get off HERO_X, they're 'countering' you" - toxic teammate. But this toxicity is fueled too rapidly to combat. Average players are given too much power in OW to swapping heroes because changing play styles is instant but our mechanics and execution consistency may not be the best, such an easy decision to make... especially now in OW2 with 30% ult retain. And in the average ranks, this leads to much more counter picking than outplaying and progression in a hero, which is sad. And I actually believe this ease of counter swapping is why we see so many snowballs. For the many games we gain instant power in counter swapping, we level up and then are forced to not only play harder players, but then inevitably we play a match where the counterpicks aren't as obvious or they don't align with our hero pool, and so WE become counterpicked. All this is to say that I’d rather players think badly for themselves and we all play a game, than join a match of toxic prejudiced players only wanting to play the in a few stagnating meta ways without giving me a chance to flex my skills. Anyways, the more features the better I guess... but if it's somehow possible to aim these development resources away from this, I would suggest we still need matchmaking improvements... like I think SR in this game is a stupid measurement when on the whole role. We also need Hero SR, if not for restricting teammates from throwing then at least giving teammates an idea at how good a player is at their swaps.

I do think the hate for this game is way too over the top and that is definitely inflated by some creators specifically that are overly negative about the game, some of it is justified, but there is a reason most people are still here talking about it because it shows that people still care. The real problem is when people are apathetic about the game.

its good to see anyone with this positive outlook on this game, i still think that kiriko is the only new character that i think should go thru a some sort of rework not nececerly taking her abilities away but changing their effects because she is overall bad and unhealthy for the game.

i'm prepared to be called a shill in the replies but overall i've been pretty impressed by the new dev leadership. There obviously are issues but they clearly are much more receptive to player feedback than they used to be and I think it's generally speaking going in the right direction. The PVE reality is unfortunate but I still had fun with the story missions and tbh PVP is why I love OW anyway.

Late reply but this is exactly how I feel about overwatch 2 haha, most active the devs have been since 2019 and could be argued during its whole lifetime. Especially happy that boring meta's (like Mauga being broken in Dec) don't stay as long as they did in ow1 (double shields and goats).
