Hi all,
I’m just wondering if I’m the only one who feels kinda “empty” and exhausted after playing Overwatch. I go into the game with lots of energy and ready to have fun, and after a few games I’m completely drained and feeling worthless. I think “Jeez, I should’ve played game X or Y instead.” It’s like the game sucks of life juices out of me. Sometimes I wonder why I even keep playing in the first place.
I’m very confused - Overwatch looks good, sounds good, plays good… Yet it is somehow so exhausting to play, and makes you feel so miserable every time. Wondering if I’m the only one who feels this way?

Sounds like you need a break or lowered expectations friend.

The “Pinball” meta that we’re in right now is very draining, yes. I never play it by myself anymore, only when my friends are on.

Read a good book before bed.
I thought people from Detroit were made of sterner stuff?
yeah, i’m there with ya.
The game itself is imo still really fun no matter the meta, but most of the time the people i got matched with are just insufferable… and what makes it worse is that those insufferable ones are your teammates.
Maybe it’s because i’m bronze-silver… but i wonder if it’s any better in gold and above.

I love it, but I’m playing Junkrat though.
whenever i get like that i take a break from normal play or from the game in general a bit.
If you feel like that again. Go in the game finder and play some of the wacky custom games. Mercy boxing is a fun one looking past my obvious Mercy bias lol. Theres also the widow sniping fights. And the classics like the move and die.
I get you.
I believe it is a combination of how the game is designed and how terribly a lot of people react to that.
What I mean with the game’s design is how it treats your feeling of control. Maybe it’s just a noob problem but I believe this game has too many elements which just strip away any control you have over what is happening to your character or what that character can do. These elements can be anything from stuns to one shot abilities to over the top ultimates to little counterplay and so on.
Then there is that thing that people usually hate that feeling of losing control which in turn enforces toxic behaviour or is just very straining on the nerves.
Maybe that is what affects you as well?

It’s caused by your inability to feel in control. You are just one person in a team of six, and if the other 5 people aren’t on the same page then all your energy gets used up raging at them, complaining that they suck etc.
Are the end of the day playing a team game in solo queue is hard.
This is why I only play VS AI, and the PvE modes when those events are live (and why I want those PvE modes to be made permanent).
PvP isn’t any fun for me in this or other games, it’s nothing but stress and frustration. I enjoy playing almost every single hero (for the most part), but I know I’m not good enough to compete against other players, and to try would just put my teammates at a disadvantage, so I prefer PvE where I can just chill with another group of players and have some fun.
