The main icks are that they increase projectile size, they increase self healing/sustain, they add no aim characters with auto holming aim. The exact opposite of what people want.
I would like back Hanzo’s faster arrow speed and 1 shot on all supps/dps please and in return make his arrows as tiny as widows shot. Thats how many, would like nerfs to heroes done and hero design, rather than doing the opposite.
The player base is not dwindling because of no new maps or new characters. It’s because the core gameplay is not what is used to be; and hero changes and creations going in a direction that is different from the one that made people fall in love with the game.
Because of this, my interest in OW is waning. I plan to say goodbye to OW after 3k+ hours once I get a few more specific highlight clips.

The player base is not dwindling at all. Actually the opposite. Go on steam charts and since S9 changes more people are playing the game.

Sadly this IS what people want. It’s the opposite of what hardcore players want; however, it ain’t all about us. They want those casual dollah dollah bills y’all.

The overall graph of players since release is way down, unlike a game like csgo. What your seeing is spike as usual with a new hero release. July was a near all time low.
I refuse to believe you are a hardcore player.

Somehow all those one shot low ttk tac sims and battle royales always seem popular among casuals, like all good tac sims have succeeded and co existed with big bro cs.
Seems casuals like low ttk and effective dps.
Also seems dps is the most popular role in ow, and we are doing all the opposite things or ami missing something.

We don’t really have a graph of players since release in October 2022 because OW2 was released on steam in August 2023. When OW2 released on steam is averaged between 33k-50k peak users. Since the S9 changes the game has averaged between 44k-60k peak users.
In that time between the steam release and S9 there were two new heroes with Illari and Mauga. In both instances the game saw a spike in users of only 50k users for Illari and around 40k for Mauga. Since S9 we’ve had two new heroes in Venture and Juno. The spikes for these were about 60k for Venture and 59k for Juno.
Yeah there’s a weird dip in July 1st where that’s the lowest since S9 but the peak there was still 39k. And you see it shoot back up pretty dramatically for the rest of that month. Zooming out and seeing the overall trend it’s still higher than almost everything pre-S9. The lowest overall was in September 2023 with 33k peak users.

nothing will change as team 4 is complete garbage and needs ot be let go and not allowed to work on the industry again so they cant ruin another game with stupidity liek ssombra, zarya got super buffed along with 76 and some maps are complete crap like seriously team 4 except for audio and visuals department needs to be fired alogn with the director hes honestly brainless as ever the current state of the game is nothing liek what papajeff seen
No aiming has been a thing for years in Overwatch. Winston, Reinhardt, Mercy are all no-aim heroes. And there are plenty of others.
leave your ‘‘icks’’ for tiktok and try not to rot your brain using that app and playing this game!

Not anymore. That’s for dang sure, son. This game is a joke after season 9. It’s best to just try to have a good time and leave it at that.
Albeit, I was ALWAYS trash at Overwatch Dos to be perfectly fair.
