You seem them on here… The people that fiercely attack a game while not on a rival’s payroll and gaslighting everyone into thinking their experience in the game is always the fault of communist Blizzard and that they’re enlightened, elevated, red pilled and wide awake or other falsities.
The people who were responsible for the content draught and PvE like Kaplan have mostly left and OW2 has been slowly built after clearly going through some trouble. Of course monetisation needed to be changed from predatory, declining and soon to be regulated loot boxes. The rank system actually improved from OW1 where exploiting MMR with hide and Rez and other stat manipulations became a thing of the past, so there’s one worse match making and balanced (OG Brig/double shield) game right there (in truth there’s many worse in those departments). The fact is PvE was always a bad and flawed idea that pandered to a minority of fantasists who are frankly never happy anyway. There is indeed PvE in OW2 it’s just that most of the players don’t want it and instead prefer PvP. Even amongst the cavalcade of hate which saw OW2 become the “worst” game on Steam there are 30,000 concurrent users, as of writing this post. Then there’s the peak of 50,000 in the past 24 hours and that’s not including the players on Battlenet (I’d guess this is the most popular), Xbox, PlayStation and Nintendo. That’s a game in pretty good health when it comes to player base.
Now that doesn’t mean everything is perfect but the lying and gaslighting needs to stop. These forums have taken a dip due to it, actual fair grievances are ignored or weaponised and many normal people are being pushed away. Sort it out, like.
That’s enough sun and cider fuelled rambling from I methinks.
