If the communityâs feedback isnât at least 2nd on the list of priorities, I donât know what is. Yes, the community makes a lot of mistakes and asks for dumb stuff but
most of the things OP listed are issues that should be serious enough to warrant top priority.
For example, OP mentions broken hitboxes and lackluster colorblind options. Hitboxes shouldnât be an issue in a FPS game and the colorblind options should have been better from the get-go since they shipped with the game.
Ahem.
Iâm sick and tired of the slow progression of lore.

This thread brings me bad memories. Why necroing it?
The fact that a thread that is almost one year old now is still almost completely relevant is the most telling thing.
Yup. And the fact that Blizzard doesnât care to address the community hardly at all is very telling. Two paragraphs from Kaplan once a month (and still not offering to fix these fundamental problems) really isnât enough.
Thereâs a reason why I used to play Overwatch much more the first year than now (and its not because of burnout).
There is no lore at all xD what lore? We donât even know what happen when Winston called the Overwatch back! That was like 3 years ago?
It honestly feels like the lore only moves backwards. We go further and further back in time every single time a huge lore piece drops.
Yep. Sadly, the feeling isnât mutual, though.
Sure. There were always that kind of games sometimes, but in the recent few months they became quite common, and thatâs why I decided to write about it here.
In game timeline Iâd assume it happened not so long ago. But sadly the lore, one of the things making OW so special, slowed down so much.
Well the community is trash because everyone can do what they want there are so many kids in this game and the game depends on a good teamcomp.
Yesterday I wanted to play Zarya but I barley could stay alive because we just got one healer and sometimes a Brig against Pharmacy.
Itâs just QP but when things like this happen I can literally not play the game.
And Iâm literally a support Main who plays Support 90% of the time, I mean all and Iâm flexing my xxx ofâŚ
hey guys, just play the game.
Agreed! I took a break from the game on console and PC for a while, and itâs so hard for me to get back into the game for these reasons. I love the game and the characters, but itâs honestly so unsatisfying, and quite frankly frustrating to play most times.
I took a break as well. I dunno what I was expecting, but everything is exactly the same as it was before ;p
This is what we get when there is no reward for trying to form a comp.
This is what we get when low rating and high rating are not a reward, because only the top 100 matter in Overwatch.
League is their reward.
This is what we get when the window range of who we play with is so great that you can end up playing with people who have never made it to your rank and ruin games.
This is what we get when blizzard decides we only need 3 avoid slots because it would cause long match making ques- Thanks Blizzard, Iâd rather waste time losing rating, and cycle in another avoided person into my 3 capped list. Only to run into another one I dont want to play with next round.
Youâre right, why would I want to wait long Ques.
This is what we get with a bad Match Making System.
This is what we get when blizzard pulls its same ol crap and introduces new Heroes and leaves them overtuned for overwhelmingly exhausting periods of time.
Ultimately, the cesspool of players that have given up on pushing comp to see how high they can get is way greater than the players who want to push comp and make it to masters +
I went from 3100-3400 average on my other account and 3100-3300 average on this account to swimming in 2500-2600 and nothings changed in my play.
Only those in league matter to blizzard.
I donât think it is invalid at all. I just played with random people in comp and lost all 5 games and they were against, drum roll please, people who just started playing the game with no ranking on their profile. Thatâs right, SMURFS! I finally won a game but it was no where CLOSE to getting the same amount of points for a win.
SJW blizzard banning basic human phrases and gestures and censorship. Ok handsign now bannable.
Blizz, Please make ranked a better experience before adding other features. Too many games are lopsided and not fun.
Iâm sick of only one thing, and one thing only.
Mei.
I hate her so much, a broken kit that lets her cheat death. A pointless cinematic which just feels shoehorned into existence, all makes up a character that NOBODY wants to play against.
Whoever designed her with the intent of making the worlds most annoying video game character should either get a promotion or be fired.
But they wonât nerf her because sheâs âlOW TieR tRaSh.â
phat necro
At least itâs on a good threadâŚ
Whew boy, what can only hope the situation gets better.
Looks like thats the reason for the necro, specifically the Mei buffs, lul.
Btw:
They probably made the cinematic just cause inspiration; but i wouldnât be surprised if instead of doing a short for popular heroes like, well basically half of dive comp + Rein, they wanted to boost the popularity and acceptance of this Mei hero.
Iâve also got Pajamei equiped right now, so thats cool too I guess.
Personally, I think the D.va cinematic was a waste. Im glad for you if you liked it but if thereâs one thing im always going to be sick and tired of, itâd be D.vaâs voice.
And the said thing is stuff like this is old news 
Remember the what dozen plus Mercy mega THREADS? HUNDREDS OF THOUSANDS OF POSTS IGNORED. Huge number of players quitting the game. Even the workshop possibly having Mass Rez Mercy may not be enough to get me back. I quit at the end of last October. Only went in once since then to check out the OW league skins but didnât even play a match.
Literal years of Mercy mains (among others) raging against the existence of Valk at the only times the devs respond is to delete threads in minutes when Ariaâs raid happened. And threads to do with just talking about Mercyâs HAIR got wiped in MINUTES of being posted. Yet the mega threads got radio silence.
I feel bad for you as you feel a bit what I and so many others felt since Valk was announced. Let alone main of other characters who got rework wrecked or balance blasted.
