So steam players are an anomaly and only 40% of those players left? There has been a few article written about it the past couple weeks. It’s not just every game on steam. This is a trend with the F2P cash shop game model that taken over the industry recently.

Wrong… We are in S14 now, the changes come in S15 which starts on the 18th of Feb.
Stadium, map vote, freja and hero bans will be in S16 (April)
Good… the sooner blizz stop aiming for perfect balance, the better it’s an exercise in futility, games are better when they feel fresh and unsolved

Yes, they were aiming for something that is impossible in a game with such a large range of abilities and playstyles.
That’s why recent balance changes are so slight but can have a massive impact. the Devs are walking on a knifes edge and it doesn’t take much for them to fall off the side.

Release was 444k players and current max is 331k. I have no idea what 40% looks like for you, but this is not 40%.

Just let him rant man. He’s going off the 600k peak and the current recent peak. To him that means they lost 300,000 players. The average players has trended down, but that’s also normal. The game isn’t for everyone. However it isn’t worth it to try to explain this because they won’t ever listen, they won’t get it anyway, and then they just repeat it another thread.
Let everyone hate Rivals or tout it’s downfall or wahtever. They need to stay in OW2 anyway. It’s like a holding pen.

no, 6v6 didnt even bring them back and they were the ones begging for it the most. despite what clowns say, 5v5 is much more popular
Without any community building tools even if they knock it out of the part they’re going to struggle to get people back. Fully relying on their own abilities and FOMO to keep people playing is…uh, unreliable historically.
Depends on your point of view. From mine, they cooked… themselves… to charcoal

It is as good as hammering a last nail into the coffin. Not saying that marvel won’t burry itself in the foreseeable future after speedrunning all the OW issues.

Oh definitely cooked! A four-course meal at that! 
Will it take half of Rivals population? Doubtful but Im sure they will take a small hit in the Steam playerbase population.

MR has nothing that interessts me.
overwatch At least still has fps in the game.
but as a overwatch player, perks really ruined the entire update and future of overwatch for me.
I can only hope for 6v6 and ow classic events.
Will enjoy my last moments in overwatch befor its forever gone behind 
perks
tomorrow its all over, no more looking at an enemy and knowing what they do.
suddenly reaper gives you a long range hs. can’t wait.
but slower games seems to be the direction we go. Was fun. Should have known in s9 that the glory is truly over.
maybe, just maybe they can allow. perkless arcade? Thats a last dream of mine.
Yeah perks did look ok but people will whine about unfairness left and right. And anyone using a bad perk shall be reported for throwing.
They also have skins with skin. Overwatch used to do this enough also but MR is winning over the gooners quick. Plus you can actually see the skins all game long. It is hard playing with one hand.
Will have to learn every heroes perks now and figure out over the course of the game which ones where picked. Shouldn’t be too hard just a learning experience.
It’s time to go down another layer
and have a table on the 2nd Monitor listing the S tier perks for fast selection and not make mistakes.
who wants to play a suboptimal version against a stronger version? that used to not be a issue at all.
now I can have 6 blinks and the enemy tracer only has 3. so I smear them across the map floor. Yej fun? much skill. such wow.
I will play my heart out tonight and be gone for 2 weeks. So glad I can experience normal ow one last time befor ot forever gone and the experience can’t be had again.
Yes every hero got buffed. Tracer just got a lot more annoying. Though brig can also one shot her again lol.
