Everything is so slow and an ult charging fest. Which is funny when you think about it because they pointed at 6v6 and said “yea that was bad because stale and stagnant gameplay and it turned into people only winning fights through ults”… It’s the same exact thing now but 50x worse.
Everyone’s HP is buffed, the same broken healing exists, the same broken sustain and immortality abilities exist.
It isn’t fun. I’m over here having 10k damage but only 13 elims because nothing dies.
Ironically, it’s boring stale and stagnant gameplay. EXACTLY what they said they didn’t like about 6v6. Yet here we are in 5v5 and it’s the same stuff. But instead of two shields that get perma shot at, it’s just everyone’s bloated health pools + immortalities + sustain + healing.
Genuinely one of the worst states overwatch has ever been in. At least sometimes when the game was in a bad state you could still have fun because the core of overwatch was fun. If people didn’t run the “stale and stagnant” comp you could still have fun.
The core has changed now and it’s changed into a pile of trash. It doesn’t matter what people run anymore because that stale and stagnant gameplay is attached to the very health pools of heroes itself.
