and you think a good interview is whatever this was, where explicit questions are forbiden, where real questions the community have been doing for years was not answered, aaron saying “i cant talk about that”?
Problem is a majority of the people have one compelling question: Will 6v6 be considered or brought back?
All Flats did was just whine about Rein buffs/rework while Aaron awkwardly laughed and dodged the question and also talking about streamer mode that maybe affects 0.0002 of the Overwatch population.
That isn’t to say he didn’t ask important questions like future animations, whats the status of future maps n such, but its blatant he avoided asking any heavy hitting questions that anyone would have asked if given the chance.
really, where you see that? something as big announced would be told on an important site for everyone and not just to stupid youtubers only on close doors. still the question is there, he could ask “why 6vs6 is not coming back, why not make an experimental 6vs6 to see what people thinks, why you are forcing experimental mode but dont try 6vs6 people have been asking for” and just as bonus “why not bring back assault with 5vs5?”
Devs already answered that question to the Content Creators in the Blizz summit 2 weeks ago. A resounding “no” because the point of 5v5 is better queue times. Spilo talked about it idk why other creators haven’t mentioned it if people care so much.
So nothing new, only stuff we already know about
If thats the case then the game is going to continue spiraling into awful balance updates as it has been more so than usual in the last 2 years.
This is no hate to Flats; but what a vapid, engineered, boring interview that does not touch base with anything important. Usual Blizzard puppeteered schtick.
And Mercy, same, is ignored totally, one of the worst supports on S9, and the devs, completely ignored her.
So why should he not allowed to ask about 6v6 ?
It should be a easy question to answer where is the problem then ??
he is lying, something big like 6vs6 never coming back said by developers should be news everywere (in the ow community), you know the overwatch cavalry account on twitter? he is always posting any single stupid little news about this game and this not?
One of these days the devs will realize their mistake of making the game 5v5 and OW can be more interesting again. You would think after they made WoW classic they would have learned that not everyone thinks change is good.
This tells me that they would have vetted flats questions before the interview.
Typical thing for politicians to do who want to sway public opinion and hide their skeletons.
Not surprising in the least.
I assume it’s a subject that devs don’t want in the discussion.
I’ve felt that 6 v 6 could be one topic that is nda bound for any official blizzard stream team cc. Every single one of them has been of the position that 6 v 6 was worse, or has not been 100% honest and just stated ‘its never coming back’. Often getting annoyed at the question when asked about it. Only recently is Flats coming out of his fence sitting with it, but is just asking for it in a qp hacked, not a proper game mode.
Similar to how i think the mcree name change is an nda forced topic. Every time I’ve seen a random teammate of an official blizzard streamer say mcree, the streamer is always a massive stickler. “wHo iS mCrEe?” “oH yOu mEaN cAsS!”
They wouldnt talk about it cause it would expose how bad 5v5 actually is
Flats has already said 6v6 should be tested in quick play hacked lol and has said numerous times that 6v6 could potentially work under the game’s current balance.
Only questions I cared about:
and that’s about it really.
They talked about nothing, like every time. Garbage filler information we don’t care about and is basically what we already know.
Aaron Keller is a fraud.
tldr:
Game is a cash grab skin machine PvP shooter. No plans for anything more.
Bellular OW2 PvE flopped devs quotes video Is far more valuable info.
Interesting but good. No point waiting time asking questions about something they have no interest in doing.
Its just not happening, they switched to 5s and that’s that. Nothing to say about it. Threads get deleted because its repeating the same topic
