It's crazy to think six years ago literally everyone on the internet was playing this game. How'd they frick up so badly.
Kinda wish there was a OW clone game that wasn't shit like Paladins. I had fun in overwatch and want another FPS game where I can play as a wizzard or something with some gimmicky playstyle.
Overwatch died the moment they restricted duplicate heroes instead of balancing them. The rot stink began when their public e-sports tournaments used different, less restrictive rules than they enforced on the people in ranked.
>Overwatch died the moment they restricted duplicate heroes instead of balancing them
anyone who thinks this wasn't ever going to stick with the game
please tell me how you would suggest duplicate hero balancing? character specific nerfs the more there are of them?
12v12 like TF2. A better game.
I find it a feat that nobody argues anymore that TF2 is the definitive better game out of the two. If this was 2016-2018 people would legitimately get mad at calling TF2 the better game and bring up actual valid points towards considering why both games had their own charms.
Now there's literally nothing Overwatch has on TF2. Aside from Porn
I think that's because overwatch went to shit and blizzard went full moron. But also Overwatch figured out what it was doing and plays differently enough that comparing them started to seem moronic. It's basically a first person moba inspired off mmo raid bosses instead of a big team class shooter.
Comparing individual overwatch characters to what TF2 weapon they've anthropomorphised into a human is a different story. Should have kept trying to convert different game genres into shooter characters because at least it might stumble into some interesting things.
>I find it a feat that nobody argues anymore that TF2 is the definitive better game out of the two.
Only because of modding, custom servers and somehow being more charming. Competitive vise OW is better. Custom weapons, lootboxes and all the other shit ruined TF2. Also atm at least OW isn't infested with (aimbot) bots. Also saving OW would be easier than fixing TF2
>please tell me how you would suggest balancing?
Anyone that thinks this way would never enjoy the game.
You fricking morons need to go play something like CSGo where everyone's the same. This game was fun when players were allowed to have fun. I don't know how many times I was in games where "the meta" was against us and we won but no one in the match is the top 0.01% skill level top player in the game.
Blizzard's fantasy that their forced esports will justify their existence is embarrassing
So you're admitting it was unbalanced, cool
The very game they wanted to compete against already showed them how. Heroes can be countered by other heroes. Stacking one hero is overcome by the other team stacking the counter. If a certain hero can't be countered, balance it. Can you even imagine if TF2 went "Oops, 2 heavies supported by 2 medics is unstoppable. Nothing we can do but prevent duplicates." If they did, that game would be Overwatch-tier.
Yet competitive TF2 limits you to 1 demoman and 1 medic and no more than two soldiers and no heavy because he's too strong
no comp tf2 format prohibits heavies entirely
heavy used to be limited to two, but because of older maps, there were strats that having two heavies enabled that made the game extremely boring to play and even more boring to watch, so it was limited to one later on
I never understood why comp's shitshow no-fun shitty shit spilled over to qp
This guy gets it
This guy is the reason the game died to sports shilling
>they restricted duplicate heroes
The all pharahs match-ups was a macross dream game. Goddamn it was glorious
I would say I was surprised they didn't isolate the esports from the casuals after the shitshow that was WoW arena, but I know better
>WOW 5 WINTSON 1 LUCIO THIS IS SO FUN
have a nice day
1 Bastion fricked that over but ok
>have a really solid core game on release
>original team leaves or gets put to work on esports shit
>every update is half assed as frick
>all that dev time going to esports
>esports was forced as frick and inorganic so it falls through
the game felt like it entered skeleton crew maintenance mode like a year into its release. Shit took forever to balance or see get changed
I M O mixing moba abilities with an fps was a mistake, and trying to turn that concept into a compgay game was a recipe for disaster. The skill floor is so high because of the abilities being so strong that being good at fps wont make up for the difference.
Comp just became saving up OP abilities until the enemy team gets baited into you and then dumping all your ultimates on them. Also the actual skill based characters like soldier, mcree, genshi, etc were highly dependant on if the recent patch would allow them to be good or if you were better off picking an ability spammer. This also means one guy fricking up and sucking ass torpedoes your team's combat capabilities because even if youre really good on X character lacking an extra dude to press ability buttons without dying means you just fricking lose the 4v5 fights
Then on top of all of that you had absurdly power crept characters that lowered the skill ceiling even more because they could just spam abilities down hallways until GG.
Also also the maps suck giga dick. The devs decided they should have every map be a single lane with a bunch of choke points that you spam abilities down
>ana skin
>not young ana
GOOD.
GILF Ana best Ana
This skin isnt real is it?
It's real, but since it is coming in the patch as the new they/them hero, people won't care
nobody cares because it's an evil ana skin, the whole gimmick of the season is "what if the baddies were the goodies, and goodies the baddies?" only you would be so stupid to think aping nazi aesthetics is an endorsement of the ideology
>make sequel
>1 less character in games
>only 1 tank at a time
>pve content never materializes
What were they thinking?
Does she carry Gaddafi's Green Book?
I don't think people realize just how much damage the sexual harassment allegations did to the blizzard and in particular the overwatch brand.
which is stupid since Team 4 was never associated with the rest of Blizzard and was basically on their own. There was no allegations towards any of the overwatch team; which then just became death by association.
>which is stupid since Team 4 was never associated with the rest of Blizzard and was basically on their own.
lol
Nah. Team 4 had a decent number of WoW devs.
Hell Goodman was undoubtedly one of the milkmen and Noh was consuming Goodman's milk wholesale so much that when Goodman finally exited they couldn't even hand the reigns over.
To the company and brand? Practically nothing. Consumers don't care about that. To the employees who were the pillars propping both of those up? Devastating. All game companies are in the growing pains of transitioning competent old guard for purple-haired new blood. The harassment suit liquidated essentially all of their competent workers and exchanged them for the worst of the new market, shooting Blizzard 10 years forward ahead of everyone else in that regard. They're an excellent benchmark of where every other company is going.
You couldn't pay me to come back.
>friends convinced me to play hearthstone again
>it's all death knights and warriors
>game crashes from opening the collection
Billion dollar company.
Where's the overwatch clones? Is there any new FPS games coming out that might be fun that aren't battle royale or a warzone clone
>Where's the overwatch clones?
The Finals pretty much one for one copied overwatch UI.
Take me back to Overwatch before Ana was added.
Overwatch was never good, i bought it full price and regretted it since
