How would you rate season 12?

Juno + Reaper Mythic 10/10, clash and all its maps are 0/10 (although they are pretty to look at). The rest I don’t really care about because the matches are stomps more often then not.

Im giving Season 12 a rating of 9.9 Ankhs out of 10. :trophy:

Its been an incredible ride! :partying_face: So many things happened! Juno! Ancient Egypt! Throne of Anubis! Hanaoka! WoW collab! MH RQ! Upcoming My Hero Academia Collab! :exploding_head: Very pleased. :smiling_face_with_tear::raised_hands:

Juno is top notch. But generally I feel balance is off when the high level meta heroes permeate even QP (not talking about Juno but other heroes).

Clash is whatever. There’s no semblance of creativity or effort in any Overwatch game mode. They exist as a mere formality and nothing more. Every mode is just stand in the square, and the only variables that change are how long you stand there and whether or not the square is moving.

Honestly I don’t know why they’re releasing new modes when there’s virtually no functional difference between them. An observer who hadn’t played the game likely couldn’t even tell the difference between hybrid start, flashpoint, control or clash, or for that matter between escort and push. Just save cost and release new maps instead.

On the other hand MHA collab has my juices flowing so hard it’s become a veritable medical condition.

Score: 4.20/6.9

Juno is fine but I have never cared so little about a season before.
Can’t find a reason to play.

Juno and Anubis/Honaka maps, Ana mythic - nice.10/10. Rest trash.

WoW colab 0/10 the Biggest disgrace to this game.

Game overrun by cheaters. Cheaterwatch2. 0/10. No anticheat.

  • Juno — 10/10, have her golden gun already
  • Clash — 0/10, love the aesthetics of the maps, but the mode feels too fast and deathmatch-y
  • Theme — 2/10, already don’t care much for the theme, but like 2 skins are on theme at all
  • Mythics — 5/10, Reaper skin is decent, and Ana did not need a second mythic…
  • WoW collab — 3/10, the Widow skin is cool, but the skins were for the exact same characters again - really? Also Torb got shafted
  • Anniversary event — 0/10, can barely call this an “event” + we only get slop that didn’t sell
  • Wave respawning — 9/10, aggravating when I’m this :pinching_hand: close to respawning but get my timer reset, but I do feel it has helped with making matches less steamroll-y
  • RQMH — 6/10, don’t really care for it, but do feel it takes away from the “mystery” aspect
  • Competitive drives — ?/?, we haven’t had the opportunity to play it yet, but I do like how many points it gives you. It’s a shame the signatures disappear

7/10 for me as well.

I was somewhat looking forward to Juno, even though I did not care for her as a character at all, and still don’t, but her gameplay seemed like it’d be fun. And it is pretty fun, but I’ve just been having way more fun playing tanks for the past few seasons so I ended not really playing her all that much. Still, I think she’s an okay addition to the game gameplay-wise.

I was also one of the people who were really looking forward to the Egyptian mythology theme specifically because of Anubis Ramattra, but it ended up going to Reaper instead. I am still kinda bummed out about it, cause Anubis Ramattra would have been awesome imo, but I do also like Reaper and the skin is awesome, so I guess I can’t be too mad. (Oh and the rest of the Egyptian themed stuff was pretty cool too).

I really like the new Clash mode (and subsequently both of the new maps we got for it). It has it’s problems for sure, but I find it to be a breath of fresh air after Flashpoint, which did also get some changes this season that made it better imo, but it is still by far my least favorite of the core gamemodes.

As for the rest of the stuff we got this season, for the most part it’s just kinda ‘meh’ for me. I don’t like the collabs, but since it was with one of Blizzard’s own IPs it’s kinda hard to be too mad about it, the anniversary event is kinda just a whole lot of ‘whatever’, I don’t like MH and making a RQ version of it didn’t make me any more eager to try it out, the wave respawn changes have been kinda unnoticeable in my experience, and the competitive stuff doesn’t effect/interest me since I don’t play ranked.

I don’t know what I’d give it in terms of a rating because it’s been pretty bi-polar as far as I’m concerned.

Juno’s a lot of fun, and I’ve enjoyed playing her. But at the same time, she can vomit out pretty gross amounts of healing. It doesn’t help that the DPS passive was pulled back on tanks. Meh.

Some of the 225 HP characters got a cool power shift. Squishy but hard-hitting Lucio is much more fun than standard HP but meh damage Lucio. But at the same time, regardless of how well she actually did, s12 start Sombra was pretty insufferable.

I like the spirit of Clash and its maps. But at the same time, the ruleset can lend itself to some deeply unsatisfying games where one team feels almost punished for winning the first point or two.

The battlepass featured some neat skins. But at the same time, the anniversary event is outright worse than the offering last year, where select skins were purchasable with credits.

Yeah. I dunno.

The balance is better than in S11 and Juno is a blast to play, so in if that would be all it would be a nice season. The problem is mainly Clash and the lack of exiting events that are more than just shop updates. Mirrorwatch for example was crazy good, but just to bring it back for the anniversary is lame.

A lot of complaining about small things, that would make the game feel more alive. Because the core is solid and the new hero incredible fun I would give this season:

6/10 with a tendancy upwards, depending how the rest of the season looks like. Could also see a 7/10, so all in all quite good.

Solidly mid to slightly underwhelming, so like 4-5/10.
Juno’s fun, Reaper’s Mythic is solid but the customization is a little sparse. BP’s kinda bad imo, just a weak one. Clash still sucks, when it works as a tug of war its… Tolerable. Most of my matches on Clash fail to work as tug of war, it’s just roll or be rolled.
The maps for it are fine aesthetically but don’t inspire fun. WoW event is disappointing? I mean it’s 25% recolor and nothing fun to earn. The Anniversary event is again nothing.
The balance is… Tolerable. It’s not my flavor of fun, but it isn’t enough to make me want to really drop the game.

  • Clash is terrible
  • wave respawn is terrible
  • throne of anubis looks nice but is dog to play on regardless of how the mode works because of the points
  • hanaoka is ok apart from the middle point but again terrible game mode
  • Theme of BP is ok
  • Mythic reaper looks nice, but I don’t intend to get it because I have the TWEWY styled skin that I love for him and the Ana mythic is kinda meh and hilariously has a P2W aspect to it that I don’t see how it wasn’t caught after the backlash from the Reinhardt American Football and more recently Cardboard skin lol
  • WoW collab event is just some overpriced skins that to me look bad, so meh
  • There isn’t an anniversary event that I’m even aware of? Is there even a new game mode or…?
  • RQ Mystery heroes to kill MH for the people that enjoyed it is hilariously bad
  • Competitive drives are a nice little bonus for people to play competitive at the end of the season, so long as it doesn’t mean people throwing just to get them
  • Balance is worse than ever
  • Rank reset with changes to MMR and once again worse than ever when combined with the dog matchmaking quality we’ve had since S1
  • Juno is very fun; I enjoy her

Maybe 3/10 at a push but I’d be leaning more toward a 2. Game really is struggling under this leadership. Juno being a decent hero for once doesn’t make up for all the trash.

Only reinstalled a few days ago but for me it’s 0/10

New map/mode sucks, they should just bring back 2cp. Original Temple of Anubis was my favourite map :frowning:

Sniperwatch is back. I’ve had maybe two games so far where I wasn’t against a sniper… It’s boring af.

Wow. After seeing it all written out, they really did a lot. So, using that list, I’ll give it a 0/11 score. Not one of the listed changes/additions deserves a point.

I wouldn’t count the clash mode maps as “extra” content, two maps are the minimum they release for a new mode

clash is ok
clash maps are ok
juno is a bit fun
bp was ok
wow collab, I wouldn’t count it as an event, the skins are pretty, but I don’t care about shopping skins, they’re super expensive
2024 anniversary doesn’t bring anything new
wave respaw is ok
Role queue version of mystery heroes, I like it
Competitive Drives, I don’t care

compared to the anniversary event that happened in ow1, this one is sad, even though I like inversewatch

I would still give it a 7, but because of the balance, which is good, despite the complaints

however, the season was extremely stagnant regarding “events”,
