No.
Something that really worries me lately is how bad the matchmaking has gotten in QP and arcade. You’d always get the occasional game where someone much higher or lower than everyone else slipped in, but now that happens in almost every game I play.
Private profiles mask a lot of this, but there’s usually 2 or 3 open profiles per game, and I’ve seen bizarre stuff like a 4200 sr player playing with me at 2900 and another person at 1100. It’s like the game can’t handle a lower pool of players to chose from and is just jamming anyone together to get a match going. There’s no way our hidden MMR thinks we’re similar players.
Needless to say that match was awful.
Its not dead, but its certainly sinking.
I want the game to be good again, but I just dont want to invest myself in a game thats so self destructive.
Seems like you need different friends.
kinda. seems like most people have quit.

Lol no it won’t. People have been saying this crud for as long as the game has been out. I think these people are the kind of people that constantly think the sky is falling the moment there is any drama whatsoever. Overwatch will be fine, and I’ll be here to tell you I told you so in 2026.
No. It’s not.
However, reading conspiracy theories on the forums is proven to decrease enjoyment.
Agreed, Blizzard have screwed it.
Can you find games when searching for one? Yes.
So is it dead? No.
I wish people would stop throwing this phrase around.
Hey everyone. Here we are nearly 5 months later still talking about this “dead game” people were speculating over back in February.
KISA… why bump this cold case?
Don’t know about the game, but this thread sure was ,at least until now.
bump

Or the Princess Bride’s comment “he’s only MOSTLY dead”.
I would say it’s declining, but not dead just yet. If things don’t change though… Much less for the better it will die.
Dead games don’t mean they’re just shut down also, it means that a overall play feel and excitement isn’t there anymore. Overwatch is just a whole new game now.

Which is to be expected as a game ages. Only those who are committed to the game and community stick around. Everyone from the hype train moved on, or come and go.
Also… 3 months later on a Necro thread again lol

Not trying to point out anything but if you look at League, they have a solid community that ranged strong for years, to see overwatch turn out like that makes me sad

it feels like it. the only way they get any hype is through bribery.
i think people actually dread new maps and characters because it means we will have to put up with broken stuff for months on end.

Is Overwatch a dead game?
I really hope so so the company can realize how terrible their management was after making such a great game in the beginning.
