        I loved playing healer because I felt needed and important and now healers are automatically picked and everyone has self healing abilities. This game sucks and robbed every single nice things the players loved. If blizzshit was a good company they'd bring back overwatch 1 from the beta era. No forced heroes selection, possibility to make double picks or have an entire team of wistons and no fricking ranked, frick competitive Black folk

            As a tf2 medic I made it a priority to always give health to the small units whenever they were in the vicinity. Frick the dpsBlack folk yelling for health from the opposite side of the map when they were surrounded by four players from the enemy team though.
            It's worth trying to fly at the rescue of a dps having a bad trade with opponents sometimes but when a dps is trapped in a loop of going alone and dying alone and not paying attention to what's happening around him outside of his epic killstreak I give up.

        I played Overwatch at PAX before it came out. everyone there was playing it, it had a huge line. Almost every single person there liked the game but gave the Blizzard staff collecting feedback pretty much the same criticism "The map design feels really bad." The map was Hanamura and despite getting an entire convention of people (and assume getting that same feed back multiple times across multiple conventions) Hanamura as released in the retail version of the game was literally identical to what I played at PAX. They got told by literally thousands of people it was a shitty map with bad design and they decided they were all wrong and that they, the devs, knew better.

            It its emblematic of everything wrong with Overwatch map design, especially the first point. All centered around one choke making fight play out the same. 0 ways to gank the back line. Weird vestigial hallways and rooms on the map. There are for real places on that map I think some players might not even know exist because no one ever goes to them because there is no reason to.
            >Do I need to post again the Half-life 2 playtest thing?
            No because that has absolutely nothing to do with what we are talking about. If you want to tell me why you think Hanamura has good design you should do that instead because all you said was "It's cool." Which barely even makes sense to me because that sounds like you are talking about its visuals which has nothing to do with map design from a gameplay perspective which is clearly what I am talk about.

            Except I had one guy next to me that was literally in a Quake tournament happening at PAX and he explained to one of the Blizzard employees there that there were sections of the map no one would ever go to because there was no reason to. They got plenty of meaningful feedback from people that knew what they were talking about they just didn't act on it. I suppose it's also always possible that they just didn't have the resources to revisit and redesign maps constantly. Overwatch was kind of pushed out the door unfinished from what I remember. It's almost weird how identical the version of the map was that I played to the release version, even visually. Whenever I play a game at a convention and then play it when it releases it's almost never EXACTLY the same whether it's a big budget title or an indie one. RIP the convention version of Death's Gambit I played.

      Honestly I'm certain the death blow was Ana release. She caused healing to spiral out of control, to make dps get more and more oneshot abilities and higher and higher time to kill to keep up with the insane healing that was getting pumped out, which in turn caused the tank meta that never subsided until they forced roles.
      Ana was the downfall, everything after was just kicking a dying horse.

    This feels like a pretty massive change out of the blue, is the game struggling that hard?

      idk but in all seriousness individual agency is important and the lack of it is a big reason why Overwatch isn't fun at all

      No it’s the devs being absolutely moronic
      For the past year players have complained that supports are too OP in 5v5 because of the strength of their healing, the damage they do (better than most dps), and their insanely powerful kits (Junker Queen, a tank, has an ult that stops the enemy from being healed. Ana, a support, has that as a fricking 15 sec cooldown). They also got a self healing passive that heals them.
      The obvious answer is to nerf support healing and damage and the kits can easily be fine tuned to still be powerful but not oppressive
      Their moron answer though is to give everyone else the fricking self healing passive too. The devs don’t actually play the game

    Reminder supports are insanely, disgustingly, OP and you can’t even 1v1 them as DPS anymore but Blizzard devs wanna look the other way
