How does one deal with burnout?

General Discussion

Games gradually become less fun. You find your playtime gradually declining. Hopes of proper DPS balancing from the balance team is diminishing. You ALSO find the bubbies/squads no longer playing. How does one deal with burnout?

doesnt sound like a real burnout. This game just forces cancer into us, so, take a break into other game/s, there are enough decent games and singleplayer games aswell. Dont waste your braincells into OW balanceteams BS

You move on. If it’s not fun then what’s the point?

what ? when a game becomes less fun and you aint playing it much anymore, its not necessarly your own fault thats what i meant. The game went downhill since a decent bunch of time. Why do you think that probably 85-90% of OWs playerbase is just gone ? This balancing here is a big joke and is one of the reasons this game isnt anymore fun for a huge bunch of peeps.

I buy other games normally during sale, did the same thing 3 days ago since the steam sale made every game extremely cheap. Got a few games that I am really enjoying atm.

Try Dark Souls
Each game takes 70+hrs to beat and theres nothing else quite like it.
And with Elden Ring and Demons Souls remake on the horizon, there is no better time to get into this series.
Dark souls is a more fun type of infuriating than Overwatch, and I’m so thankful to of went out on a limb and tried it :woman_shrugging:

The solution is simple ~ Mario Party 2 and 3. I really wish they’d bring these back alongside the next version of the series for the switch lmao Mario Party compilation when, Nintendo!?

Stop playing Overwatch lol

  1. Find an OW discord
  2. Join a team or a group of people that play comp a lot
  3. Never solo queue again, only queue with people you know and trust with your SR

You leave and come back months later, or you don’t.

Other games.

You aren’t an OWL player, you don’t have to compete like you are one.

Also, try some other games that DOES NOT bring you stress. Which mean stay the hell away from DMC 5, your controller (or your input device) will love you for it.
