@DVADigital323 @SaltagreppoD2 @AKissFromRose If im remembering it correctly he compared it to the live service aspects not the actual gameplay. Look at overwatch, a game that tried to do the mmo holy trinity and see how well that turned out

I hate the gam3r mentality of calling devs clueless etc, and I'll defend a broken game as dev is hard. But boy does being an Overwatch fan make that hard. Putting hero unlocks behind the battle pass just knee caps you until you grind; that game IS team comp, even at low ranks.

i honestly feel like i have to get #overwatch 2 and the battle pass because i love the game too much even though there is a million problems

And to be clear, I don’t think most #Overwatch players have a problem with a #Battlepass. Cosmetics, skins, etc., are fine to have in the BP, especially with certain countries making Lootboxes illegal. Just don’t put heroes in the BP. Very simple solution. #saveoverwatch

@imAVRL I think the issue is that overwatch has such a limited cast of characters that all work so differently that removing the variety of experimenting mid game to see what's working and what isn't could be harmful, from a financial standpoint I think most people understand the change.

I do hope Overwatch comes back in terms of esports but for that to happen the local franchised team idea needs to die. Emulate Valorant league structure or CS GO. Activision won't do it though and if bought by MS they definitely won't. Idk what the fix is and it's not easy

Overwatch 2 was a mistake, blizzard realizes this, but won't actually fix any of the horrible choices they've made so out comes a terrible game that takes only the bad **** from other titles, completely gimps what made overwatch fun in the first place, and disappoints everyone.

@OverwatchEU @PlayOverwatch overwatch server been awful please fix your servers why I have to wait for 10 minutes to enter a game?? Just fix your servers 😤 (badwatch)

@IIcomfyII Saying "it's okay because every other game does it now" is kinda moot, cause those other games aren't Overwatch. It's not really a major problem like people are making it out to be, but it'll just further alienate casual players that are already dwindling, for no good reason 3/?

@lilfroginachair I think if riot owned the overwatch ip it would still be a top esport and a top game in general. Their success with valorant and lol proves enough but ow's biggest problem was glacial content and balance updates (and bandaid fixes) and riot is so much better at both

@GyrotheGoat @imAVRL To be honest the Overwatch community thinks it knows best when it comes to the game's design and balancing over the devs fact is JQ technically is a beta hero and in game design easy to nerf than buff. If JQ same at launch then yikes Blizz will need to fix it asap

@DevineFPS @Still_Willy @DpsDeku Yeah bro I love playing league, asking my teammates for picks so I don't have to blind top lane and none of them can pick me cause they didn't unlock enough champs. Maybe it's not that large of an issue in league, but then you also have to consider mid-game swapping in overwatch.

TF2 isn't even getting any big proper updates anymore (only the standard seasonal ones) since Jungle Inferno, almost 5 years ago and yet it'll out last Overwatch 2 no problem

@Tecycdan1 @eg0istical @danteh Plenty of time for who ? The average player ? The people who grind ranked? Streamers who play non stop? Overwatch needs to be more accessible to those who left because the game went to **** or those who know its reputation as a dead game with broken characters defining meta

@Sluntvision Honestly I think that's the biggest problem with OverWatch. The game is not necessarily about skill it's about countering a character by switching to another character.

@NulliusPersona @TjHArtwork @GameSpot You're missing the point and it's clear neither have read the post at all. The issue isn't with being lazy, it's the fact the core component of Overwatch is having multiple characters and each fitting certain situations 1/2

(@PixelBlast) reported
@imAVRL That's not the only issue though. Part of the fun of Overwatch for non competitive players I think is trying new heroes to learn how they work. Imagine being in a game, seeing a new character but realising "Oh I've still got to play X more hours before I can even unlock it"

@InfiniteSith187 So Xbox believes Spidey should be available to all, but Call of Duty, Crash Bandicoot, Spyro the Dragon, Overwatch and Diablo shouldn’t? What?

Sio but I got caught :(
(@BackupSio) reported
@VironRagnaros @bjkrautkramer @jakeow Anyone who acts like this isn’t necessary is announcing their idiocy. People left Overwatch because it couldn’t keep up with the F2P live service games that do this, the game needs to take on a similar model to survive in the current ecosystem.

@SpaceFire_ @blackstar449 Then the issue arises that if it’s free why create this divide anyway. With how good Overwatch’s art team is they’ll double their money in a week with cosmetics. They do not need to put heros behind a pass and this will be ******* horrible for the games future no matter what.

@OW_SVB The problem is the toxic level if you one trick in overwatch. If you love a hero it dont mean you should always play them same as one trick its bad cause it creates toxicity, and for example if im a mercy main and its taken who do i pick who im good at, there ain’t one so I throw

@OW_SVB Also means for game pass ‘unlock all overwatch heroes’ I don’t really see what the big issue is to be honest l. As long as you don’t only have a limited window to get the new hero

just a numb little bug
(@KingRiki_) reported
Btw yes I've seen the overwatch fix girl and I'm very hype but the feeling hasn't truely hit me yet that we are getting a teleporting kitsune support character. Mostly cause the fox teaser from months ago had a lot of that reaction.

this thread is gonna inflate my ego, but before i mute this, please just know that allowing blizzard to lock broken dlc heroes behind grindwalls is a terrible move for a game like overwatch :)

@Denzel_priv Blizzard in general has issues with content droughts, lack of balance, and poor ‘quick fixes’. Riot made a better eSport platform with Valorant. However, Overwatch and Valorant are very different games.

@syrasmine_oce @Carter_OW Yeah but that's pointless arguing that ship sailed long ago. Overwatch wasn't built as a live service game and that's what ow2 is supposed to be.

@jakeow Overwatch 1's biggest issue I've always thought is bad players or even high rank players not realizing pro or meta strats don't work the same outside of tournaments. Anything under high GM is basically a free for all.

@gabefollower @CSGO It has nothing to do with Overwatch. The thing is that Vacnet flags potential cheaters and pushes their Trust Factor to red and nothing can fix it. Eventually, those accounts are getting Game Bans instead of Vacbans.
