Like I said in my own initial reply. I’ve been so fed up with this game I haven’t played in days.
I’ve been playing Dying Light 2 on the hardest difficulty, and know what’s funny? As annoying as it is, as OP as the special zombies are in this mode? It’s still less infuriating than Overwatch has been.
I don’t think this is true at all. At max this is … 30% true.
Often people say this as a cope when they lose games when they think they shouldnt and they can’t handle it properly.
I hate P2W games, with every fiber of my being. I absolutely hate them. Its the number 1 reason why I would quit games in all time. Destiny2 was the case and I have friends I can do content with and that ask me once in a while to come back.
It took -3 seconds to uninstall and quit straight away. Thats why I dont believe you.
“But Hyphen, not everyone is the same, some people are addicts”
Sure, but then it would happen to you with the next game and since OW2 doesn’t really give you anything (no loot boxes etc), everyone should be able to uninstall and move on.
The best advice I can give is to take breaks, long or short, when you start feeling like this. I used to get like this often, but I’d take a break and feel like nothing about the game (aside from some balance issues) bothered me!
Actually on a break rn, I grinded the BP to get the mercy mythic and the premium coins, would’ve liked to get the “Angel of Vengeance” title for hitting lv200 on the BP, but ain’t no way I can stand the game for another 120 levels.
The balance of the game and toxic player base are to thank for turning people who loved to play the game every day into people that can only stand to play the game until they get the rewards they’ve paid for XD
I mean, I have like 4k+ hours in OW. One of my fav games of all time. I’ve seen everything there is. I’m playing plenty of other things. After 1-2 games of OW, I remember why I’m not playing a bunch. Go buy PC Game Pass or something, get a trial. I don’t even think about OW generally. Not fun, no play. Simple as that.
I’m 40 hours into FF Rebirth, 50hrs into Fallout 4, 5 crowned victories in Fortnite this season, starting Outlast Trials with my buddy tonight. We recently played through Evil West, Dead Island 2. I convinced him to buy Metro Exodus for like $4 on sale.
F2P and the severe fall off of older players prior to that swtich (and because of it. 5v5 switch can get lumped into that too) has definitely soured the playerbase. Pretty dramatically imo.
Continuing on in this game is a question of mindset imo. Its supposed to be a social game but it shouldnt be treated that way at all anymore. The average player is far better off with all chat off than actually trying to engage in chat.
You have to be able to have a good time on your play alone. This is the case despite Ow being a team game. Paradoxical indeed, which leads to frustration for a lot of people.
I really love it. I played through Remake again when I got the PS5 to have it fresh in my mind, but 45+ hours of that then another 40 in Rebirth burned me out and I haven’t touched it in a couple weeks. Such a weird game.
10 matches is more than enough for a day. Speaking as someone who still likes playing make sure you’re enjoying other things. Too much of any one thing will make you miserable. I remember there was a similar issue with destiny players a while back.
i’m in the exact same boat as you. Been playing this game since Uprising came out. I hate this game so much as well, the devs have completely destroyed the Overwatch brand and everything we loved about OW1. it really is hard to quit a game you sunk in so much of your time (and money) into. Not sure how much more lying and scamming i can take from blizzard.
I also hated the game, but from a different perspective. As a widow one trick, I hated being hard focused and hard countered by characters like doom and sombra.
Now that xdefiant has come out, I haven’t felt a need to come back. I’ve broken free of the addiction.
Try destiny 2. They have had everything free for the past month, and is free until the next expansion comes out on the 4th ish.
Then they are supposed to release a legacy bundle of all their older content. IDK what it will cost for that bundle, but for the next week, it’s something besides overwatch.
With the most sincerity, uninstall and delete everything overwatch-related from your computer. Block your access to the forums and blizzard sites as well and unfollow any overwatch-related social media you engage with. You’re genuinely not having fun so cut it out of your life. Go play something else.
I just reached 200 last night.
