How are devs going to save ow2?

LOL No its not, it was rushed out for short term gains to boost up the company evaluation before the Buyout. After the buyout MSFT is probably gonna do a lot of restructuring (aka gutting / firing).

There are a few heroes in the game that are susceptible to dive but you don’t see them whining on the forums, do you? On top of that Mercy is NOT F tier. A good mercy is a solid pick, especially as a pocket for a good dps on your team.

Before this becomes normal Blizzard will Panic and do Blizzard things to fix it.

I hope people like the idea of OG Brigv2.0

MS might make big changes, but they’re not going to shut the game down. Why do you think they’re buying the company? The acquisition is almost a year out, PvE will be done or approaching release at that point.

Oh, honey…(extra …'s because requirement of 20 characters)

am amazed at how dead this forum is, it can’t bode well. Back in 2018 there would be pages of posts updated on every refresh.

I didn’t expect Overwatch 2 to be good because I wasn’t expecting anything from it. I was expecting to keep playing Overwatch and just not get Overwatch 2, since I wasn’t really that interested in the PvE that it was supposed to be.

Somehow my expectations that they wouldn’t mess up a game while they released what was supposed to be a sequel was too much, but I guess after Warcraft 3 Reforged I shouldn’t have expected even that much?

Mostly people moved to Reddit. The forums don’t have a good reputation.

As a support main, I think it’s less about “carry potential”, and more about some supports just wanting to be able to “carry” themselves, and not be under constant threat. And if they survive all of it, AND heal their team with top numbers, some bozo will always complain about “no heals”, even when the scoreboard shows otherwise…so many are just throwing in the towel.

They just need to tone down the dps a bit, and remove the passives that make strong dps even stronger, even if they slooooowly turn it down a point or two until they find the right balance.

The new devs like deathmatch. Like monetization. Like the idea of removing content. Like the idea of grind. Like the idea that every new character should be a dps no matter the role. They won’t go back on all of that. They made the pitch in their corporate meetings, sold the higher-ups on the model, and sink or swim, they are going to stick to it, because they can’t say to those same higher-ups…“I think we broke it. We need to role things back a little.”

Ultimately I suspect it will be us that needs to change. Either learn to like the game, or learn leave it.

They should bring back OW1 coins for flex queue (25).

Then I would play more support.

I couldn’t care less about battle pass xp

All reasonable statements at the time they were given.

Flying off the handle without all the facts will NEVER be the correct response even if you turn out to be right. Which must be hard to hear for a career doomer who has been wrong 90% of the time.

I have a folder specifically on the stuff you have been saying if you really want to play the shame game with users. You’ve posted a lot of nonsense in the last few months. And I love my Doomer Dossiers.

that’s… slightly disturbing.
and concerning. don’t you have anything better to do than stalk my posts?

besides the fact it’s not even a shame game, i’m just pointing out that people like you will always defend this game and that the “wait and see” will NEVER cease. you don’t care about having enough info, you just want to shut people up because you don’t like criticism of the game

I’m just gonna say… Role Queue ruined Overwatch.

I get why it’s there. I know all the old complaints.

BUT, you could queue up, get in a game, and if you used the hero pool correctly you could have a lot of fun. You could counter the other team, you didn’t have to sit there while someone on another role stunk it up and you’re helpless to even do anything.

Get rid of Role Queue.

Also, I can’t stand 5v5. It’s annoying and far less fun.

let me earns things again cuz I payed before I don’t need to pay again

Hilariously ironic and hypocritical of you Zergotto :rofl:

What, you don’t like when people hold you to account? You poor thing :cry:

With balance patches every 2 months? OW2 will decay to same or lower level of OW1

The upcoming Sombra and Genji nerfs will help.

Imo, biggest issue is lack of team work and coordination below top ranks.

Another issue is lack of personal impact, ie damage output.

Yet another is skill required vs reward. On dps I can play Torb or Junkrat with my brain turned off and get quad kill potgs.

Likely. Unless that PvE is groundbreaking, I don’t expect there to be much of a resurgence.

Especially given their recent track record in narrative development.

i don’t have your posts saved to pull them up on a moments notice, i just remember past discussions and bring them up when you consistently display patrick level intelligence

Quit projecting Patrick.
