Aaron keller interview

Worst reviewed game on steam and making 3 times less money than OW1.
Yeah, it is doing great

So a review bomb done overwhelmingly by Chinese users (last I saw they were 76% of all reviews but that number might have shifted) who were, understandably, upset that they lost access to their game. If that is the best evidence you have you dont have much. Last of Us 2 got review bombed as well and it was doing great (I hated it but it objectively did great).

yeah, no. Even without the Chinese reviews nobody has anything good to say about this game.

Here to remind you that you are continuing to be the only person lobbying for Lifeweaver/lifegrip specifically reworks

This is the answer. If the tank population suddenly tripled or quadrupled and held steady at higher numbers for a few months, you might see 6v6 in the future. But unless that happens, we aren’t going to see a change.

People who want 6v6 need to play tank, get your friends to play tank, get them to get their friends to play tank.

This is an absolutely awful idea. The core problem with 5v5 is solo tanking. And from experience, solo tanking in 6v6 was worse, much worse. If we ever go back to 6v6, it had better be with a guaranteed minimum of 2 tanks per match. Otherwise there’s absolutely no point in changing formats.

And you know what happens in role queue?

We get 3 tanks. People tend to pick tank when they’re allowed to.

But sure I’m down for 2 tanks, this is just there for people who go “We could never have the population for 2 tanks” who casually ignore that when the game was actually updated frequently, we had those tanks.

Also, hilarious.

No. I’ll play tank when they go back to 6v6. Until then, enjoy your queue times, I’m not going to have terrible matches in a terrible format for your benefit.

Then you’ll never get 6v6. The developers would be absolutely insane to swap formats on a wing and a prayer. They’d want hard numbers of an increasing population first.

My queue times are instant because I play tank. :frowning:

The devs can do 6v6 test game modes and we both know it. Experimentals are a thing.

Fantastic, then you better hope that we continue never playing tank so you can have your queues.

There’s absolutely no point in this because it doesn’t demonstrate that it would actually work. They need to show not just interest but long term change in player behavior. There’s no way in God’s green earth that they swap formats with less than 3 months of data, preferably 6 months.

They’ve been instant for at least the last 4 years probably closer to 5, so I don’t think that I have anything to worry about.

It shows interest. You know. The thing experimentals are there to gauge.

Yes, because no one wants to play tank.

I’m not though, I see other people around here popping in to do the same. I’m just the most persistently here despite not playing.

And I will continue to do so. :slight_smile:

Which isn’t enough in this case. You need to demonstrate that change is sustainable long term which can’t be done with an experiment. People have to queue tank before they’d even entertain an experimental.

Which is the whole dang problem. It’s been a problem since at least 2019. So, ya gotta fix this first.

Cool, when ow1 was actually being frequently updated, we had enough tank players. We have precedent for this change being sustainable long term.

Experimental shows interest in returning to better times.

Oh wow, it’s almost like it became a problem when they stopped updating the game and went off to work on the OW2 pve that never surfaced.

OW1, with updates, would have been fine tank wise.

This is a lie. The tank population tanked long before the release of Echo and the total abandonment of the game.

Again, this is a lie. It was a problem long before that.

I certainly don’t see them. And yes, I know you’re not the only one, you’re just one of a very small few shouting into the void about something that everybody else has no issue with because it’s not a problem.

Your player agency remains ever intact

Odd because plenty of people seem to have good to say about the game. You are fighting with multiple of them right here. You are learning very quickly, or maybe you arent capable of learning, that your claims and his have the exact same validity and the exact same evidence and that is to say none.

You mean the same 3 shills?

It’s silly but it’s also silly to still believe in a 6v6 comeback. It will never happen.

Not anywhere near to the point of being a couple minutes of queue for dps or support.

Nah, not even close to this extent.

You do realise that people don’t complain about it because they just… Stop interacting with overwatch. Because they leave thanks to this failure of an ability.

For that to be true I’d need to be able to control my own character. Can’t control my character with grip in the game.

Also if this was true, why do you think LW mains have consistently given the advice of never joining vc or team chat to other LW players? Because they have given that as a pre-requisite to playing the character to avoid being banned from being reported.

I’ll continue advocating for it because I want the game to improve and thrive. As opposed to this swampish subsistence.
