The reason I quite playing is that for year after year the SAME heroes have been OP and have dominated the game. The actual top heroes never change. The 'meta' that changed as really on the heroes that moved up to the high mid tier. Meaning variation never really happened. And since the OP heroes were VERY OP you saw the same heroes in game after game, year after year. It just wears out. There game really never changes. And the OP heroes are so OP that match results are determined by which team is playing more of them, meaning determined in the character select.

Matchmaking is making me quit the game. I've been playing since OW1, but can only put in a few hours a night if I'm lucky. The last patch they did to "fix" it has caused some major headaches. I went from climbing just fine to falling pretty hard with absolutely atrocious teammates. I had a match with a tank that emoted the entire time. I'm not even joking on that. He literally would walk out of spawn and emote until someone killed him. The next match the DPS spent the entire time jumping off of whatever cliff they could find. After that? Another tank that decided to throw and had an endorsement level of freaking 0. The only time I've had decent matchmaking is if I play with someone else. Matches feel more balanced and I've only seen maybe 3 throwers total when playing with someone else. Problem is the friends I had that played OW1 all slowly quit OW2 because of how awful everything is. It sucks.
@ncascini01Күн бұрын
I think that the main issue with OW 1 and 2 is that the perspectives of what the devs think the customer wants and what the players actually want is not congruent. Looking a bit closer at that, a game should be offering rewards to your brain in different ways, and, ultimately, OW is working against itself in a way that it didn't at the launch of OW1. What changed? I think the key mistake was a decision to try to make all heroes viable at a high level. This meant that the devs decided that the game should not be about skill-based balance anymore and the entire game was balanced around that to begin with. It causes the skill based hereos to lose value/reward. What is important to realize about that is that people who play a game in a long term way (especially competitively) are probably doing it for long-term rewards (such as self-improvement and goal attainment). OW let the memes override the dreams inadvertently, and that killed the joy of grinding the game and, partially, the purpose. So, there isn't a reward system that has enough reward for people who would subject themselves for playing the game on a consistent basis for a long period of time (other than the battle pass). Next, tanks need to be fun enough that people want to play them, even in a 6 v 6 format. That's a rewards issue too. The devs need to take that as a challenge to make the game and tanking such a positive experience that people want to play all roles. If tanking in 6 v 6 tanking was hard to balance, maybe do some drastic things to make it work, like separating tank into 2 roles (main tank and off tank). Additionally, the devs need to set guidelines for the game. Maybe they can establish a baseline for what good balance of the game should look like, and even have an internal patch of the game that they can play where that balance is achieved? If so, they can then add characters, tweak, numbers, etc and know exactly what they are hoping to achieve by those changes and have a way to compare the actual outcome vs the intended outcome. If the game gets out of hand, they can nuke the balance back down to the that baseline and start again. The devs need to have some sort of principles about what sucks vs what is good for the game when they design heroes and they need to change the game with intention. Finally, they need to have the opinion that nothing is sacred when it comes to the health of the game. No hero is sacred, the lore, the structure/format of the game, their previous intentions or the vision of the game established by others, etc. The most important thing about the game is that it needs to be good and its been sub par compared to what is was for years. In fact, I wonder how many devs even played the game when it was good and could see what was amazing about it that awarded it game of the year. Today, its just a game in a sea of games. Idk, maybe the new devs can play the marvel rivals beta to get an idea of what OW is missing.

Change is good - If you're a good coach you would/could adapt. Changes that are good: Increasing skill ceiling Changes that are not good: Increasing skill floor For a game to be good there has to be clear skill expression. For people to be in T500 that fall to plat/diamond just proves that game knowledge no longer matters. I want to learn a game, and be rewarded for it. I don't want TDM comp mode where there are 0 counters to ultimates. I want positioning, resource management, mechanics, and ult tracking to prevail. Not roll the dice ult economy. I want ult combos back. I want compositions back. Right now you can play any character in any comp and have equal chance of success/loss.

It feels like winning and losing in comp is now based on whether you can play a counter pick well or not. You used to be able to grind one, maybe two characters in a role and succeed enough to have fun. Now I feel like I'm constantly having to go into QP to learn yet another character -- which means I'm really mediocre more often than not. And this isn't just for tank (although that role is by far the worst).

Introduce a single queue. Every other game has a single queue not a role queue. Everybody queues the same queue. The team is restricted to 2-2-2 same way that the team is restricted on having more than one of the same hero (aka role LOCK (not queue)). Fixed. 6v6 2-2-2 fast queue times.

I'm okay with it. It always frustrated me when they had PTR/experimental options but they really were inneficient as feedback+data mining efforts to make better informed improvements to the game, because for 99% of the playerbase it was a novelty worth checking out for 1 or 2 (even none) matches. As things are now, it's true that we're guinea pigs, but the upside is that no one gets to opt-out of giving actual useful feedback to the devs through sheer gameplay, across all tiers of ranked and unranked play, with metas being able to be formed and have time to mutate because they are finally balance trials that last longer than a week. Too much time was wasted on PTR/experimental giving the devs misleading insight birthed out of a random scatter of brief samples.

Open queue 6v6 was good. What was not good was balacing. Healers with aoe healing was over tuned that is way 3 tanks Even was a Thing. If you ask me blizzard just suck at balacing the game that is why they gave op on fixing goats comps and ruined the game with 2 2 2. Nerf the low skille heroes like genji and ball Sojourn they can make to many misakes without punisnment where other heroes just die if they make 1 mistake.

It's just a leadership problem, it's been the case for the entirety of the game, nothing new here. It boils down to this: Bobby Katching wants a new genre of game, he understand business, he knows you want a monopoly, you want a niche, and then you are free to do whatever you like, because you have no competition. So he does set it up so we have an ability shooter to play with, big success, game is super fun, gg ez. Then comes the maintenance phase, where you don't really care what is happening because you are in a niche with no competition, so you make some changes, you make some new stuff, but you really really really really don't care at all what so ever, the most neglected jewel there is, because, again, you are in a monopoly situation, with your entire customer base pigeon holed into playing this. So this is why they aren't releasing maps, they aren't addressing anything, they want to do the least minimum amount of work that gets the game somewhat alive and then they push cash grabs like battle pass and skins. That's all, period, nothing else. The true way to exploit this explosion into a new genre would've been with a rich and vibrant pro scene, which funnels a lot of people into the game, then it forces some balance stuff, that is very very good because powered by pro league, pro data, pro minds, etc. Then it also fuels us more maps more game modes etc because it's going straight into the pro scene you use as your work horse, but because they pigeon holed the entire pro scene into the same monopolistic model that was what the boss understood very well and wanted to push, you have no way of accomplishing what was the correct design and correct marketing strategy, because you played yourself into greed into monopoly and tryina skin the cash cow on cooldown instead of letting it recuperate and build up. Simple, another tragedy of a free market economy and entities that are too big to fail that decides to play god on the side of pure greed because huehuehuehue. They say stupidity is simply determined by the result of how you use your intelligence, so here you go, they had massive intellect, and they sent it down the rabbit hole thus proving they are very very stupid. All because the boss understood the world a certain way and was such a big bully that you couldn't deviate at all. Now that he is gone, the spirit, the way he did things, are still very much in there, nobody got the balls to make a good move, it's a power vacuum, status quo of do nothing, we are all waiting for them to figure it out and hopefully do something like bringing back 6v6 and making new maps.

I think that counterwatch is a problem they created, and the way that they are trying to solve it is constantly make characters worse, or make healing better, just overall making it so much harder to kill anyone or stay on a character and just outplay the counter. They throw every single ability imaginable onto one character like Kiri, and it's dumb. I much prefer characters that do one thing and do that well, like Doomfist. He has movement and displacement. That's all. Each ability works with the other and you have to actually watch cooldowns and plan your engagements, but then you have people like sojourn who it's "hold down left click, shred they're entire team, and then right click to almost one shot everyone but tank" and it's dumb. I play Sojourn but she's OP. Movement, a Widow like hitscan laser beam, soldier like primary fire, disruptive field. Why does she have all this stuff that doesn't even go together. It's just a bunch of individually strong aspects put on one Hero. And now we get to Kiriko. Even after nerf, a really strong primary fire that if you get headshots (which is pretty easy) will be better than most DPS, healing that's better than most other healers, a teleport that makes her invincible for a second and instantly brings her in or out of a fight to her teammate, and a grenade that heals her and her entire time while also making them completely invulnerable for a short time, which counters literally every ability in the game. ALL OF THEM! Oh, and it removed all status affects. Lets just go through some scenarios. Mei ults on the whole team, who's grouped, but right when everyone is about to get frozen, or even after, kiri throws Suzu, which unfreezes long enough to either get out or for the ult to end. Doomfist charges his punch and has the perfect line up to hit the whole team in a big way, but right when he's about to, kiri throws Suzu, now doom is behind the enemy team since he just goes through all of them, and he dies, or at least takes a lot of damage before slamming out. He then tries to ult them, but once again, kiri throws Suzu and his ult misses. Junkerqueen has a perfect lineup on the whole enemy team for her ult, and she goes in, getting all 5 Anti'd and getting good damage off, but then Kiri throws Suzu, everyone is no longer anti'd, they are all healed a bit, and suddenly that ult was useless.

stop shilling. the game is doing horrible with the community. A lot of players are getting banned for nothing and everyone's hating on the game.
i need a role that is impactful but also allows me to help get picks and requires me to keep getting better at aiming and tracking so what role do you think that is?
At least the overwatch changes act like new content. Rocket league is only alive cause there's 100% no other game like it same as overwatch, otherwise the game be ded. You can argue for overwatch its keeping more casual players because of these big changes and some people may like these big changes cause its something different. I played ow1 but quit early on and just started coming back more and am enjoyin it more than I expected. While it surely be frustrating for one tricks, its not a complete loss. If anything, smurfs can for sure destroy fun games with friends and just make it a complete one sided match. Not much u can do about that one though.
This is A/B testing man, they need to gather data to iterate and keep things fresh. Which requires vast amounts of players experiencing these across all skill levels and game modes. It’s refreshing that the team is willing to take risks to learn and do so quickly.
I can only imagine the number of dislikes
I don't understand. They're making these changes BECAUSE people are unhappy with the game, no?
Good video man. I hope people listen. Lol
Crazy how people can even be in bronze. Haven’t played this game in years like since overwatch 1. Im plat1 after my placements. Half those games im testing the new characters and have no idea how to play them
But overwatch players complain about everything all the time. I complained about the first one and didn't really come back till Lifeweaver came out. Everything brings people back and everything makes people leave. There is tons of games to play out here.
Finally made it to plat, I was plat in Overwatch 1 but placements messed me up, now I wanna stay here
Why can’t they just bring back 6v6
What if they separated an off tank from a main tank?
It feels like winning and losing in comp is now based on whether you can play a counter pick well or not. You used to be able to grind one, maybe two characters in a role and succeed enough to have fun. Now I feel like I'm constantly having to go into QP to learn yet another character -- which means I'm really mediocre more often than not. And this isn't just for tank (although that role is by far the worst).
Introduce a single queue. Every other game has a single queue not a role queue. Everybody queues the same queue. The team is restricted to 2-2-2 same way that the team is restricted on having more than one of the same hero (aka role LOCK (not queue)). Fixed. 6v6 2-2-2 fast queue times.
I believe these are the opinions of and old players who can’t accept heroes being completely different or changing the way the game is played, making lveweaver more like the other supps and making Illari like the other supports it’s a crazy boring idea and point of view
Venture, my love ❤
10:16 nice punch man
This game is infested with Smurf accounts. Made me delete the game entirely
We’re playing this because Fortnite had the worst update of all time
I'm okay with it. It always frustrated me when they had PTR/experimental options but they really were inneficient as feedback+data mining efforts to make better informed improvements to the game, because for 99% of the playerbase it was a novelty worth checking out for 1 or 2 (even none) matches. As things are now, it's true that we're guinea pigs, but the upside is that no one gets to opt-out of giving actual useful feedback to the devs through sheer gameplay, across all tiers of ranked and unranked play, with metas being able to be formed and have time to mutate because they are finally balance trials that last longer than a week. Too much time was wasted on PTR/experimental giving the devs misleading insight birthed out of a random scatter of brief samples.
Open queue 6v6 was good. What was not good was balacing. Healers with aoe healing was over tuned that is way 3 tanks Even was a Thing. If you ask me blizzard just suck at balacing the game that is why they gave op on fixing goats comps and ruined the game with 2 2 2. Nerf the low skille heroes like genji and ball Sojourn they can make to many misakes without punisnment where other heroes just die if they make 1 mistake.
Bring old pharah back. This new one is broken af
Blizzard has spent the last year and half breaking and sloppily reworking almost every aspect of the game for balances sake instead of addressing the source of all the balance trouble; Solo tank role queue is completely miserable and always will be.
It's just a leadership problem, it's been the case for the entirety of the game, nothing new here. It boils down to this: Bobby Katching wants a new genre of game, he understand business, he knows you want a monopoly, you want a niche, and then you are free to do whatever you like, because you have no competition. So he does set it up so we have an ability shooter to play with, big success, game is super fun, gg ez. Then comes the maintenance phase, where you don't really care what is happening because you are in a niche with no competition, so you make some changes, you make some new stuff, but you really really really really don't care at all what so ever, the most neglected jewel there is, because, again, you are in a monopoly situation, with your entire customer base pigeon holed into playing this. So this is why they aren't releasing maps, they aren't addressing anything, they want to do the least minimum amount of work that gets the game somewhat alive and then they push cash grabs like battle pass and skins. That's all, period, nothing else. The true way to exploit this explosion into a new genre would've been with a rich and vibrant pro scene, which funnels a lot of people into the game, then it forces some balance stuff, that is very very good because powered by pro league, pro data, pro minds, etc. Then it also fuels us more maps more game modes etc because it's going straight into the pro scene you use as your work horse, but because they pigeon holed the entire pro scene into the same monopolistic model that was what the boss understood very well and wanted to push, you have no way of accomplishing what was the correct design and correct marketing strategy, because you played yourself into greed into monopoly and tryina skin the cash cow on cooldown instead of letting it recuperate and build up. Simple, another tragedy of a free market economy and entities that are too big to fail that decides to play god on the side of pure greed because huehuehuehue. They say stupidity is simply determined by the result of how you use your intelligence, so here you go, they had massive intellect, and they sent it down the rabbit hole thus proving they are very very stupid. All because the boss understood the world a certain way and was such a big bully that you couldn't deviate at all. Now that he is gone, the spirit, the way he did things, are still very much in there, nobody got the balls to make a good move, it's a power vacuum, status quo of do nothing, we are all waiting for them to figure it out and hopefully do something like bringing back 6v6 and making new maps.
They should really stop doing mid-season patches. This Armor change and that mid-season update that buffed Mauga both killed the game for weeks. The season launch patches are hit or miss, but they're at least playable.
I think that counterwatch is a problem they created, and the way that they are trying to solve it is constantly make characters worse, or make healing better, just overall making it so much harder to kill anyone or stay on a character and just outplay the counter. They throw every single ability imaginable onto one character like Kiri, and it's dumb. I much prefer characters that do one thing and do that well, like Doomfist. He has movement and displacement. That's all. Each ability works with the other and you have to actually watch cooldowns and plan your engagements, but then you have people like sojourn who it's "hold down left click, shred they're entire team, and then right click to almost one shot everyone but tank" and it's dumb. I play Sojourn but she's OP. Movement, a Widow like hitscan laser beam, soldier like primary fire, disruptive field. Why does she have all this stuff that doesn't even go together. It's just a bunch of individually strong aspects put on one Hero. And now we get to Kiriko. Even after nerf, a really strong primary fire that if you get headshots (which is pretty easy) will be better than most DPS, healing that's better than most other healers, a teleport that makes her invincible for a second and instantly brings her in or out of a fight to her teammate, and a grenade that heals her and her entire time while also making them completely invulnerable for a short time, which counters literally every ability in the game. ALL OF THEM! Oh, and it removed all status affects. Lets just go through some scenarios. Mei ults on the whole team, who's grouped, but right when everyone is about to get frozen, or even after, kiri throws Suzu, which unfreezes long enough to either get out or for the ult to end. Doomfist charges his punch and has the perfect line up to hit the whole team in a big way, but right when he's about to, kiri throws Suzu, now doom is behind the enemy team since he just goes through all of them, and he dies, or at least takes a lot of damage before slamming out. He then tries to ult them, but once again, kiri throws Suzu and his ult misses. Junkerqueen has a perfect lineup on the whole enemy team for her ult, and she goes in, getting all 5 Anti'd and getting good damage off, but then Kiri throws Suzu, everyone is no longer anti'd, they are all healed a bit, and suddenly that ult was useless.
You’re giving them way too much credit. They just don’t know what to do. No respectful product team is ok with pissing off the consumer on the off chance that they can make ‘future’ consumers happy.
The people who enjoy this fucking sucked as Pharah, thats the facts jack.
to answer your question - nope. i need to engage with and do things that value my time. this applies to the friendships i make, my job, playing games, watching shows, etc. OW2 came out rushed and unfinished. i didn't care and still gave them my money and time. i've been blizzard's guinea pig for 2.5 years. my goodwill has dried up. i can't keep grinding a game that doesn't make me happy. even if i know or hope that blizzard will get it all sorted eventually. i'm tired
