You’d be better off picking almost any other hero even in Bastions supposed niche. He is trash.
In high ranks this is just false.
They blatantly do though. Take a look at how Sym got immediately and repeatedly nuked as soon as she became vaguely meta. She has been left in the gutter ever since. Compare her treatment to say, Ashe.
The difference in the way they treat some heroes is night and day.
All of this “free” content was promised and “prepaid” for by the consumers when they bought the game and it was a subpar triple a price tagged game vastly lacking content. Blizzard basically said we know we’ll add it later for free. Blizzard released early for a cash grab and get funding to continue developing the game without having to invest anymore money. So no this content isn’t “free” we’ve already paid for it.
this needs to be pinned in all honesty…it applies so often on here
a lot…no…a TON of what you see on here is soaked in subjectivity and hyperbole…nothing is ever as good/bad as people make it seem…glad they TRY to look at things objectively
Just because heroes were bad, doesn’t mean all of its players were “Hey, I have an idea”.
Many of them BLIZZ IS x GONNA BE TRASH AGAIN FOR A WHOLE NOTHER YEAR, tRAsH I Am lEaVing
Thought lots of the well thought out proposals of changes always get ignored tho
Ha I’m fine with recognizing things people like in the gaming and showing blizzard appreciation. But, a lot of the posts are creating a divide where blizzard is amazing and. Community is bad which I don’t agree with.
Blizzard isn’t perfect but I think this community has a real problem with blowing little things out of proportion, overlooking the many high-quality aspects of the game, and focusing on negatives. Now, that’s not unique to any gaming community. Most game forums are used as complaint departments. I think we have the unique issue of people being strongly attached to individual heroes and taking changes to them personally instead of objectively viewing heroes as tools to be changed out as necessary.
The job position for making new skins and the job position for developers are two totally different things. The artists at Blizzard listened to you, not the devs.
If all people can think of are negatives, then shouldn’t people have some kind of wake up call? And when I mean people, I mean Bli$$ard. Oh that’s right, OWL is more important - making money is more important than allowing majority of the people that play this game to have fun.
Um Goldlantern isn’t talking about how much of the suggestions Blizzard listens to from the community.
He is saying that less than 1% of the communities ideas and suggestions are not good. 99% of the stuff in here, reddit, YT comments, anywhere is not useful because there isn’t enough content.
Most of it is ‘fix this, fix that’ or ‘blizz doesn’t know there own game’, etc.
Noise.
99.999483727777% of the stuff on Overwatch balance across the entire Internet is not meaningful. It does give blizzard a litmus test though, and they do take all the aggregate information together to get a feel of the community’s response to the game.
Blizzard wants more people to play their game. More people want to play a game that’s good. Nobody would want to watch an esport league for a game they thought was bad. OWL can’t be important and make money without the game being good. It makes no sense to claim that Blizzard wants to make money instead of making a good game because those things go hand-in-hand in this case.
