Why are we unable to earn more competitive points towards golden weapons once S9 starts? Is this a confirmed change?
If so, it’s ridiculous that we have to wait until the end of the year to convert points for a gold weapon we’ve now almost saved up for 
Let people choose if they want gold or jade. Why can’t you just make the jade ones more expensive and use the same currency?
Interesting point of view in this regard. Although depending on what they consider to test, I still think that a dedicated experimental mode in the main screen could be better… Having a dedicated mode for it could make more sense on long run. Right now their major problem is lack of options.
I mean, as counter argument the older ones weren’t exactly easy to find. Enforcing everybody to comply on something can have some negative effect also. If put under the right highlight/spotlight could have similar appeal than QP Hacked without generating most of it’s downsides.
Is a valid feedback for sure, but I can’t remember the time they actually put those experiments side-by-side tbh.
Until you take the entire library of tape back-ups of Overwatch 2 and flush them down the toilets at blizzard studios and Revert the game back to Overwatch 1 from Q2 of 2017. There is no truth to this post.
Opening statement: You had to CUT nearly 2,000 EMPLOYEES from work, at YOUR mercy and YOU chose to IGNORE community highlighted ISSUES. Thats on you bud. We told you why we weren’t giving you munny.
Enough with the “Feel good” lantern fuel dumped into the Gaslights and lets get down to the brass tax and cut the bull.
Leavers penalty - Um you know you coulda just TRIED to resolve match making so people wouldn’t rage quit from repeated face-stomps. instead you flung mud and scapegoated your lack of willingness to resolve issues that force people to ragequit and throw their keyboard into the ground.
Map selection - Because There are now maps out there that exist that are far worse than Horizon Lunar Colony.
No Money… Who in the right frame of Mind would ever charge less than 30 dollars for a video game let alone an account to play it. * cough * Free 2 play… very IQ5000.
Even less money… lets face it, not everyone can steal their mum’s credit card for OVERPRICED SKINS.
Lack of Interest: Locking heroes behind paywalls was Father Kaplan’s best wisdom and his golden rule to this game. Never to lock a hero behind a wall, and you broke the Golden Rule.
Don’t re-invent the wheel. Just clean it. Literally, 1-shots just needed damage REDUCTION and you could have moved on to other tasks at hand.
Other ignored issues:
Sorry A.K. , I Gotta be tough about this one. This game’s becoming a meme game on the internetz.
It’s true but this was always the case, Horizon Lunar Colony is in the top 5 maps they ever made. We still do need map select for abominations like Antarctica though
Im really starting to wonder if "A.K’ isn’t real and this game is fully ran by NPCs at this point.
I may have not liked HLC. But yeah. and fully agree I dont like Antarctica much myself either.
“The team will be following the launch of Season 9 very closely and is planning on doing quick updates based on what we see… and the feedback that we get from all of you!”
Oh! Oh! I’ve seen this one before! They’re going not do that.
excellent, we dont need conformist people giving developers a false sensation of them doing a good work because they clearly are not doing a good work, i hope developers never read a positive about their work until they actually do anything well, locking golden weapons until 2025, anybody things thats ok? if someone thinks this then i hope his positive comentary goes into oblivion
Thanks Aaron, I love the game and will continue to support it.
I don’t know how the game will feel after these changes but I am staying positive. 
Tank is going to be even rougher.
Lowkey tank will remain the most miserable role. Sub 1min queues for life.
But support passive being removed, reworking suzu, bap lamp, and lifegrip and lowering overall heal output and lowering damage output would’ve probably been better.

What do you mean? They made the projectiles bigger… you know how everyone was/is always asking for them to make the projectiles bigger and easier to land… and how we all asked for the entire game inherently to be easier and require less learned skill.
Oh wait, literally no one asked for any of this crap.
You are the stereotypical forum user. A fanboy that goes on personal attacks towards anyone who dares to express any criticism. Stop it please.
Your username is literally GeforceNow. This feels like an alt account of someone else.
“give Damage players an increased ability to secure kills as well as to mitigate the abilities of Support heroes to keep targets alive. This should also give Damage heroes an advantage when facing off against Supports.”
Why should damage have advantage over supports? The problem with OP supports is the ones with high mobility and self heal (Bap, Kiriko), how is a Zenyata in need of artificialy being toned down so a damage hero can feel good about himself? I agree with decreasing self heal all around, but a team mate should be able to save a squishy support, or at least give them equal grounds against threats (like they are now).
Also at this point you should just remove healing from the game entirely. Or move supports to damage category. Like, what’s the point of a healing orb now? In fact that might be the only healing worthwhile now (just passive heal someone and go do damage, sounds like the best strat for supports in S9). Just rework all supports to damage with utility support rather than healing. Why should someone play Ana with permanent less 20% healing and having larger health pools to heal? Effectively you will spend 5 minutes healing a tank (while taking more damage, thats all you’re gonna do all game, heal tanks) that’s hardly a fun idea. I assume the only viable gameplay for supports moving foward is pick a high damage character and forget healing. Goodbye Moira, Ana, Lifeweaver. Kiri, Bap are now gods if you locked into support role. Zenyatta has damage but no escape or self heal. Lucio might be the only real support now (the only real utility support).
Heal by itself wasn’t the problem of the game, the problem is Kiriko and Baptiste being the best DPS while also being able to easily escape or self heal. You’re punishing all support characters to tone down two dps supports. But not every support needed such a massive downgrade.
I really don’t see why would anyone play any other support than Kiriko/Baptiste (and maybe Iliari) in this damage meta. If your healing you’re wasting your time. If you’re not doing damage you’re not contributing with anything. You essentially killed the support role (the canonic aspect of it, helping teammates). It’s all about damage now, which warrants rethinking the support role category in the 2-2-2 entirely.
Tell that to the millions of players around the world… News flash: An average neurotypical person doesn’t continue consuming an entertainment product, for dozens to hundreds of extra hours, if they don’t enjoy it. They just go play something else… I’d bet that OW2 has a monthly unique player count of at least a couple million and that on any given day, the peak concurrent player count is at least a quarter of a million, if not higher.
Are there things that can be improved? Always, but they are always going to try to appeal to the vast silent majority. You know, that bulk chunk of players that they earn the bulk of their revenue from?
They (Microsoft) gutted the PvE team as PvE deems unprofitable to them so turning the development’s focus solely on PvP to make it Overwatch’s main selling point.
Sad to say but I’m pretty sure prospects for new PvE story missions are binned indefinitely.
You end your meetings by saying, “Let’s make a great game!”
Do you whisper this silently to yourself once the room is empty?
where are this million of players? there is no numbers of players, this game dont have more than 200,000 daily players, im gold, the rank with more players, said by aaron keller himself in another post, and i find the same people in comp, 3 matches in a row, same thrower on my team
are you being ableist? are you using a mental problem as an insult? good thing you are so positive
JJAJJJJJAJASJDAJDASJIDJASIODJAOJAOJDOADSJOJ steam numbers are so pathetic, if ow2 its so popular and have a quarter of a million players steam numbers should be a lot higher, the game became free and moved to steam, the most popular pc launcher with 20 million players daily, to bring more players, they clearly failed, of those 20,000 daily we dont know how many are new, how many are like me that wanted to delete battle crap because i hate to have a lot of launchers
and thats exactly why this game is crap
No, I brought up neurotypical humans. Ableism would be if I brought up neuroAtypical humans. You’re trying to warp it into something to be offended by.
Due to it coming out on Steam so much later than Battlenet and consoles, nobody plays on Steam. It’s probably less than a few percent of the overall playerbase. Apply logic and reasoning skills here here… I know it’s hard, but that’s how you strengthen your inductive, deductive and transductive skills.
Then don’t play it and move on? Seems like a pretty standard human response… When enough people do that, they start to see that reflected in the data and make adjustments to the game accordingly. But no, you’re probably still playing the game for dozens of hours per week. Way to stick it to them!
El Monterey changed their bean and cheese burritos a while back and now they are garbage. I gave them a couple of tries to see if it was maybe an issue with quality control, but no, the bean paste was always super watery and just tasted terrible. So what did I do? I quit buying them and I know a few other people that did the same. If enough people do that, then they will see that their sales for that type is down and fix(hopefully) the problem. Though the spicy jalapeno bean and cheese chimichangas are still really good.
conformist, your attitude is very toxic, thanks to the minority of people who say this game is good developers use that info to say the game is doing good which clearly is not
this stuff for season 9 was not based on player feedback at all that is a lie just like the cake
