It’s just so stale. There’s nothing exciting that ever happens for Overwatch. 2 years of stalling and we’re only just now getting a 6v6 test… which isn’t even new content. It’s just admitting that the 5v5 format was not satisfying enough for players… and it took 2 years just to admit that.
There isn’t even any pride in the Overwatch story anymore. It’s just new characters trashing or leeching off of old characters in a way that’s disrespectful to the originals. All we get are in-game interactions and barely rendered cinematics that look like they didn’t have time to replace the temp models.
What’s worse is that I have to just sit here and watch people have fun on Marvel Rivals because my fossilized PC can’t handle that game.

No offense intended, but that is a pretty childish mentality. Being embarrassed for loving what you love is something that kids did in middle school. Once I got to high school, it was cool to love Dora the Explora.
Is Overwatch lame as hell compared to Mahvel? Obviously! But it also does not have Peni Parker. Trust me, Sassy, you ain’t missing out, bub. Reaper is utterly broken and super easily one trickable compared to the main main. Unless you genuinely enjoy the pain, I would stay in your lane. Or queue with someone who has a triple digit IQ. It’s the only way Wolverine works.

So long as you still like the game and are having fun, there’s no real reason to be embarrassed about it.
Unless you’ve just been hate playing the game for the last 2 years in which case I’d recommend finding something else to play.

I just like seeing the stuff people latch on to
It’s a shooter…not really sure what you’re expecting out of it…the game hasn’t changed much in 8 years….just following the same live service model every other live service game does…
it should be embarrassed because another game launched?
I play one comp game in Marvel Rivals, get so frustrated that I come back into Overwatch, and proceed to play 8 hours straight and actually have fun. I regret buying the battle pass in Rivals at this point… not to mention a skin on a character I wanted to play but can’t cause either they’re always taken or I’m the one filling for tank cause everyone else is unwilling/incompetent.

Yea I forgot that I bought the BP in rivals lol. I’d prefer if I could just play to progress rather than having to keep checking the challenges

Exactly. Progression in MR is one of the biggest turn offs for me, I literally finish the missions in QP and then quit.
It’s SO annoying
“ok, I need to either play X, X, X or X hero and do damage, or play these heroes and take damage”

Honestly dailies/weeklies in any live service game are usually cancer. They’re bad in MR, but they’re frankly not much better in OW2.
Just let me log in and play whatever I want whenever I want and I’ll have more fun than the devs trying to make me play different characters and roles.

Do we get an example of this?
For real. The OW devs stated they didn’t do that because they didn’t want to force players to play specific heroes. I really hope MR devs change it cause I’m sick of playing characters I don’t want to play just to do a single mission.

It’s all the rage I feel from bottom fragging as Wolverine who spends half the game waiting for an engage and then swapping over to Wakanda Forever and chasing Spiderman into the skybox and winning. It’s so unfair that people have no respect for hairy manlets with anger management issues.

I can honestly see both viewpoint. Like, why be embarassed about enjoying something? But then I remember I like Genshin.
With Overwatch, there’s been some significant stagnation in the quality of the design philosphy, dare I even say degredation. And this was before the massive lay-offs. And I’m not talking about just character design - and I’m saying this as someone who loves Hazard’s design through and through.
Map design is… absent.
- Hanaoka and Throne of Anubis are recycled 2CP maps.
- The last Hybrid map(s) we got was Paraiso and Midtown, on OW2 release
- We still only have two Flashpoint maps despite it being over a year
- Samoa (despite being an actually decent map) and Antarctic Peninsula are… underwhelming to say the least.
And of course balancing has been abhorrent. Meta cycling between just a select few tanks, and their individually preferred supports - DPS kits slowly being turned into a different font of S:76 instead of what is a unique set of mechanics to play with/around. I mean, there are some good changes that have actually been great. I’m specifically referring to the rework of Sombra’s invis.
The most effort - that I am seeing - that is being put into the game, is exclusively collab events.

Wolverine is one of those heroes that feels like they need the rest of the team firing on all cylinders to make room for him to work.
When they are, he’s incredibly fun. When they aren’t, it’s respawn simulator 2024.
Though Rivals has the balance of a madman to begin with.

At this point all we can hope is that Microsoft shuts this trash down so we can all rest.
For the money they steal its pretty laughable that all year long they put out a grand total of 3 new temporary modes. The core gameplay literally can’t be changed enough because they don’t know how to balance the game at all.
A PvE game mode sure would help this IP out like 10 fold, too bad the greedy execs and idiotic peanut brained community decided that Blizzard is right and we were all wrong for wanting to play our favorite heroes in a relaxing environment.

Just to add to this. They do put more effort into collab events but at the same time, they don’t.
The first year each collab event at least had some game mode tied to it, this past year has had no new mode tied to it(and any mode they did make for any collab was still a recycled TDM mode anyways). So they went from at least trying to have an accompanying method of play to literally just slapping a $57 price tag on 5 skins and rarely giving away a 6th skin for free(while also demanding that you play at minimum 50 games to even get said free skin).
The effort is there in terms of maybe just making the skins, but they do nothing else to accompany that, they don’t even try.
People are so mentally conditioned to buy the slop that it makes sense that 99% of the game has basically gone down the drain. Look at Mercy and Kiriko mains, probably 2 of the most selfish groups in this community because they do not care if the rest of the cast gets nothing and on top of that, they do not care if the gameplay literally suffers because these people can’t express an ounce of self control.
