It’s actually doing really good for an VR game.
Now that doesn’t say much, but Valve has been doing a lot of VR stuffs lately… and the code text in live games really showed.
But still, it is a really good VR game from what I heard.
When we listen to forum we have mercy rework and 6 months of MOTH. (Don’t even try to tell me it was pros who asked to rework her. She was barely played) We have 2 years of unplayable pharah because someone in season 4 were crying “I can’t shoot sky”. We have a doomfist op/up rollercoaster that still continues based of how everyone still wants him to be nerfed. (s) Oh yeah, how about to listen to the forum now and NEEF MOIRA, that will totally help the game. (/s)
And stop already with your biased opinion. 90% of the time owl and forums have the same balance suggestions.
Admit it, this game is just really hard to balance and you just need to blame someone for that.
They were fast in the beginning, and then they kind of lost sight of that to focus on league. They realized this was a problem and made a commitment to right the ship, only for covid to come along.
So we should wait and see how things go after they can reasonably start things up again instead of making rants demanding they do what they have already said they are going to do.
Questionable how? By far their most dramatic improvement and the only sign they may be able to turn things around. Very successful and critically acclaimed game that was a huge turnaround from DA2.
Loads of balance changes have clearly not been with OWL in mind
The stun nerfs were catering to the overwhelming forum consensus that all these stuns were awful, there were too many, they were too powerful. Pharah getting back her old splash damage was not anything OWL needed nor cared about.
The devs even invented a time machine and went back in time and altered the timeline so that Moira never had a lock on beam just to cater to all those on the forums who hated her beam lock on. I mean, that is dedication.
Good to hear things are slowly moving forward for VR. I only watched a walkthrough of Alyx, which tells you nothing of how does it feel playing the actual game in VR set yourself. But I’m just not yet convinced enough to go and order VALVe Index or the likes. x)
Not really, hero bans are known. What would trash sporting integrity is constant balance patches during one season.
This is like Formula One would change the regulations after each race and not just once (or sometimes even less) per season.
bro its fine because overwatch is still in beta and blizz is a small indie company. they constantly release heroes who are broken on release and then gets dumpstered for a year until they finally figure out how to actually make the hero a proper hero. The game is in this state because of three reasons, brig, sigma, and the unwillingness to acknowledge when the problems brig and sigma bring until a year later pasts. this game is an experiment and while i love it it sucks having to spend 10 minutes to only get a game where someone leaves and spend another 10 minutes to get another game where you get curbstomped because your team decides we don’t need a shield until the last 20% of king of the hill on point 2. then another 10 minutes to get a game where you can actually finally play the game… then someone disconnects and we lose right when he comes back.
Devils advocate here
The heroes are far less busted in lower tiers since the lower skilled players are “less capable” of abusing them, hence why meta has historically rarely mattered anywhere below Diamond.
There’s more to abusing a hero than just picking them.
to appease OWL?
i mean even OWL is losing pro’s from changes.
so it would be more like to appease their (devs) view not any of players.
Which is usual signs of a developer that doesn’t care about the title.
If main focus is money making the main focus will be to move on and scrap this idea for a slightly better one for the hype train.
I’m actually glad Hero bans are gone I did not like them. I might start to get worried again if I ever make it to diamond (HA!)
the game went downhill when brig was added, nothing else.
Because dive is what makes support players leave game.
It always was about dev’s view, I guess.
I have not played comp since the hero bans. I refuse to play comp, even though the hero bans consist of heroes I don’t ever play. Limiting game play takes away from the fun. Limit the hero bans to OWL only.
Nah balancing for casuals killed overwatch, this game is a clown fiesta since the adding of moira and every other new character. The game needs to be totally reworked for any hope of being a serious game again.
Game always been clown fiesta, except this time it’s fiesta with sad clowns.

Honestly No one should buy OW 2 and just wait for daddy Jeff to state their shock and hopefully get an apology video for their negligence

Where did they say that they were going to do this? I’m lazy and couldn’t find anything…
What they should really do is keep the low skill cheese bs for the pve mode and totally rework pvp so that all the heros are challenging to play as that way they can keep the casuals happy.
