I have never seen so many high level players complain about the state of a game ever. The only thing 0w1 needed was new maps, new characters and a story mode. Thats all the player base asked for, for 10 years. BUT NOOOOO. what did these new devs do? they took away a tank, they took away quality of life additions like LFG, they took away stuns and freezes which were a huge part of certain character’s identity, they Brought in new map modes that no one wants to play without testing them, and worst of all, they took a fair and balanced matchmaking and installed a communist matchmaking system. I generally wonder if this isn’t against the constitution to rig someones games and win rate to 50% it really does feel illegal. I wonder who is responsible for this? how do they still have a job? if I ever performed this poorly on a work project I would be fired immediately. should they not get the same?
If you go on the dev tracker on the forums you will notice the last dev post was in may of 2021. Probably the last time someone genuinely did care about the state of the game. Really goes to show what we lost due to executive incompetence.
lol big respect for this
They just don’t have anything exciting to talk about, and want to play 6v6.
But it’s nothing to get excited about. Community coverage goes negative by default.
Since they still gotta make content, and if there’s not much to talk about with positive content, then yeah, duh, they go negative.
Since they gotta make content.
But the fundamental issue is that there’s a preference (or at least a nostalgia) among high ELO Influencers that balancing roles as if it’s 1x set of Choices, makes sense when it’s 3x sets of Choices.
And like 95% of the complaints that aren’t about a lack of exciting stuff, are basically “THIS IS BALANCED WRONG”.
Which is them expressing a preference for that Nostalgia.
But with no real full awareness of how much it doesn’t make sense to balance 3x sets of Heroes, as if it’s 1x set of Heroes, in Role Queue.
So it’s basically, it’s one of these:
- Impatience for 6v6 Open Queue
- A lack of knowledge of what Balance means
- A lack of respect of what Balance means
OW2 was supposed to have pve
The system was like that from the every start of OW1. 5v5 just made it more obvious.
The game is as fun as ever, it’s just that some characters are interfering with streamer influencers revenues. ‘if the balance doesn’t rotate around what I like, that means losing money’
Let me get this straight;
“If you go on the dev tracker on the forums you will notice the last dev post was in may of 2021.”
The last time a develpoer was speaking with the public was in 2021.
But,
The developers cannot speak the public, because the suits told them not to?
the OG team is gone what we have now is not the original team and stun is still in the game with some heroes and mei can freeze people with her ult still
