Everything wrong with Overwatch (MY 2 cents)

Let me start by saying I love this game and it’s one of my favourite games of all time. This is just my personal opinion and I don’t want to generalize but I feel like the game takes one step forward and then three steps back…

  • PvE is gone
    – Overall cancelled
    – No more missions
    – Invasion pack now being absolutely useless since you can not find a game anymore
    – Coop modes not or rarely coming back (Junkenstein, Archives etc.)

  • Monetization
    – I don’t think we have to discuss this, but the pricing is a joke
    – Fake discounts
    – Fear of missing out
    – Battlepass getting worse with each season (I think people dont’t want sprays or souvenirs)
    – The promised weapon inspection being locked behind a paywall aka mythic weapon skins where, again, the pricing is a JOKE
    – Too many recolor skins
    – New heroes being released without epic and legendary skins (so you can buy them in the shop with premium coins)

  • Social Aspetcs
    – People are afraid to communicate (talking and typing in chat) because of the abusive report system in a team shooter
    – NO TRANSAPRENCY regarding the “Defense Matrix”
    – AI managing the reports and ticket responses

  • Gameplay
    – Matchmaking doesn’t seem quite right
    – Too much experimenting on fixing the “tank-issue” leading to other roles feeling really frustrating
    – HP nerf on certain heroes being questionable
    – Heal debuff being questionable
    – Hitbox and projectile changes that no one asked for which leads to higher TTK aka spawn simulator
    – Overall the games feel more like deathmatch rather than a team game
    – Winning a game doesn’t feel good anymore → unrewarding

  • Features
    – No after game chat/lobby
    – No card system (OW1)
    – Missing my portrait from OW1
    – Bring back Lootboxes…? :thinking:

I think I forgot a lot of points but I really like to hear other opinions or how you guys feel about the game in general. I can see why people on the forums are frustrated but I also witness a lot of trolls who aren’t able to deliver constructive criticism - so on that regard please don’t insult each other in the comment section! If I see some good points from other people I might add it to the list :slight_smile:

Cheers,
Alan

My faith in the dev team was lost when they cancelled PVE after touting it as something to be excited about. All while refusing any content release’s on the latter days of OW1 with the promise of PVE.

Yeah I was really looking forward to PvE… Overall I really like coop modes and the legendary challenges in OW. The Diablo event or the Kingsrow PvE was actually very fun.

Anything S9 and after has been pretty much downhill.
The HP reductions to mobility heroes is good, but should be applied to all heroes.

Season 9 really shook things up, yeah…
