2025 predictions ٩(＾◡＾)۶

General Discussion

There’s just a couple of days left until the new year. What are we thinking 2025 is going to bring for Overwatch?

My predictions

  • Major gameplay loop changes

  • Monthly subscription-based service

  • Minor reworks (Ana’s nade, Suzu, and IMO field)

  • Major reworks (Mauga) (Orisa) (Lifeweaver) (Mercy)

  • Plethora of QOL changes to tanks

  • Expansion on hero progression rewards

Just kidding, we all know we’re not getting any of this.

In reality

  • 10 more collaborations

  • 400 more shop skins

But what do I know??? ¯_(ツ)_/¯

For OW3 and the expansion into a PvE-based game? :heart_eyes:

OW already has terrible reputation. Doing this will tank whatever they have. Knowing ABK they might do this since they don’t give a damn.

7

I actually like subscription-based services. I feel it’d only be controversial in OW because the game sucks butt right now; otherwise, I think it’s a good idea.

I want the level system of overwatch 1 to come back.

that will change if aaron keller keeps remaining as director

Nothing, more awful game modes, more insipid characters with 0.5% pickrates, more overpriced ugly skins

nothing

community will continue to think everything is the single worst thing about the game…

Not necessarily what I think is best, but what is more likely to happen, IMO:

  • 5v5 stays;

  • Role queue is gone; replaced by open queue or open queue with hero limits (min 1, max 2);

  • Hero bans for competitive;

  • Role passives gone, but global health regen stays;

  • Soft rank reset;

  • Tweaks (small nerfs) in tank stats to fit the new queue format;

  • Return of minor PvE events.

Don’t play with my heart! xD

And they are all pretty good; but this one in particular

  • Monthly subscription-based service

I always asked for something similar to Crew Fortnite.

It would be a step forward from Battlepasses.
I mean, they are actually great. Prismas are dumb expensive. But you are getting like +40 from Premium BP? That’s a lot of money.
But the thing is, we can choose which BP we are going to buy. And in the other hand, this kind of subscriptions usually drop a bunch of collectibles, that you can still use to purchase anything you like at any moment

First time I saw it on Fortnite I thought it was trully amazing.
And I would love the opinion from people playing Apex Legends with their Dual Battlepasses model at the moment. That would be a rant worth the reading xD

I mean, I would love to give the developers praise, but it’s kind of hard to do that when the only thing they’ve given us in the past two years that has actually been good was Juno.:pensive:

My prediction is after the beat down Blizzard has taken from Path of Exile 2 and Marvel Rivals there’s going to be a shift in more generous rewards.

I hope they have more communication with players in 2025.

But if they have productive meetings I predict higher quality.

The company does a lot wrong. But the one good thing about their arrogance is that it comes with pride.

And that pride can motivate them to put out top tier quality product moving forward.

Massive panic balance changes as they try to win back all the players they lost to MR that never came back.

No attempt at building a quality matchmaker.
