The game has stagnated with the slow balance patches that leave us with overturned heroes for months at a time. The matchmaking has been utterly ruined in both quick play and competitive.
The events no longer have any reward to play at all for returning players because they’re rewarding skins we already own. Thy events themselves are repetitive and unenjoyable.
All this is to say that I’m losing passion in the game. I skipped the last event, don’t care about the new one, and haven’t finished the battle pass for this season. I don’t think I’m alone either. Is this really the best Blizzard can do?

Agree with everything.
I’m done with comp for this season.
No point in bothering with this awful meta.
No point in grinding.
What am I going to get? A name card?
Oh boy can’t wait to have that for one season before it disappears.
There’s no incentive now.
Events are pointless.
All good skins are behind pay walls.
Wake me up when a giant patch comes around that nukes Hog and sojourn specifically please. They’re destroying the game.

I played like, 5 or 6 matches of the Olympus one? A friend of mine really wanted the name card (she loves rabbits) so I won 6 games of CtF and I’m not going to do anything else for LNY. The last two events have been almost entirely meaningless to me.
In OW1 my girlfriend and I made it a point to, if possible, make sure we were home the day of new events, jokingly calling it a national holiday. The times they are a changin’.

I have uninstalled this game 5 minutes ago as I no longer want to associate myself with money hungry grubs.

If things don’t change soon or the PVE doesn’t knock our socks off, then it’s over

I wish this was more like Counter-Strike where you can have random community made maps and just goof off. Imagine like a Overwatch version of fy_snow, awp_map, or scoutzknivez.

The lack of rewards, skins, and event stuff doesn’t bother me. What really makes this game feel boring is the fact that competitive match making is based on a hidden secret number. I used to grind trying to rank up. Now I play comp games like quick play. Who cares, apparently it doesnt even matter anyway.

Wake me up when ATVI quarterly is a flop because of Team4 direction.
That whole place needs a D&C
The devs do not care even remotely so. They are getting paid to rake money in from the game. If that stops, then maybe change will come. But the devs have little to no care for the enjoyment of the player base unfortunately, otherwise I do not see how this game has stayed the pile of crap it has.

Maybe money isn’t a thing to them and they need actual pressure. Like mass boycotts, or hateful mail, or weirdos photoshopping them into shame/meme reddit posts. I wouldn’t wish that on them, but can their safety really be guaranteed after ruining the experience for so many? It seems like a statistical reality that someone somewhere will take their anger too far.
I’d speak up if I were them. Address the crowds or face the storming of the palace + guillotine.
You only say that because you want to win. Trust me on this, if you want to lose, the game becomes much more better.

I want to win always but i love losing. I think the engagement-based rigging knows this and sets me up for a loss 9/10 times. It’s possible to love something you don’t want? Give me wins but damn addicted to ruining it for my teams.
They’ve been awfully quiet about PvE. Making skill trees for 30+ characters was incredibly ambitious, and Overwatch doesn’t exactly compare favourably to most other PvE games. I really do hope it turns out to be good, but I’m not holding my breath.

yeah not wrong, i am diamond 1 and literally getting gatekept from progressing because every single game is just hog/orisa mercy sojourn mirror matches. its so boring to play
What are you honestly expecting from the PvE at this point?
I mean the rewards system in OW2 is clear; there is none.
I too am holding out hope that the PvE is amazing, but given how content is currently trickling in and also in which state…
It might be 1 or 2 missions in the season that PvE is introduced in.
1 or 2 more missions the season after that and so on for maybe 5 seasons.
New permanently available gauntlet to run at your leisure per season.
But grinding this against AI for what?
Some challenges for some name cards? Titles? Perhaps an epic skin if the devs be so generous.
