Overwatch has lost it’s top streamer. Dafran who would have ~10k viewers during times where there were no Twitch Drops has stopped playing Overwatch, and only now rarely plays the game.
He now streams other FPS games and has taken a huge hit to his viewer base but he seems much more happy. He said he doesn’t want to play Overwatch because it’s boring at the moment. We lost another top OW content creator. Dafran now belongs to the list of legacy OW streamers such as Timthetatman, Moonmoon, and XQC.
May his legacy last in this game last forever. ‘-’
thats the way the industry is. its always changing… you have to ask yourself what you enjoy. dont get influenced by others too much.
im kind of sick of overwatch atm. i havnt tried to get bing points for the last three days and i quit on weeklies lol
im trying to catch up on my backlog of single player games. actually playing grand theft auto iv a bit since i modded it with the vulcan d3d9 and also yea i got a new leet PC… 13900K/rtx 4090 tuff video card with 32 gig ram. now i can run GRAND THEFT AUTO IV in 144 fps with mods (1440p)… game was poorly optimized… a 15 year old game!
A lot more streamer/content creators than those three that have quit fully or rarely play OW anymore. Big, Medium and small… they are dropping like flies.
Long queue times, slow balance and the balance we get is insane. The community often calls out how bad some of the changes are in instant they read them yet somehow teh balance team can’t figure out there will be an issue.
Overall there just isn’t anything worth doing anymore… we are on our second season of Orisa Bastion + 2 OP supports. Who wants to watch that trash? Who wants to play it?
Dafran has taken several breaks from OW in the past and always comes back. He just burns himself out because he plays so much.
I’m pretty sure he might have some or other disorder like mild bipolarism/depression.
That whole buying and building a farm seemed very much like a manic episode, and when it ended he just gave up on the farm.
He will be back.
On a sidenote, Timthetatman leaving wasn’t really a big loss. He just seemed unhappy and wasn’t great at the game tbh. He seems much happier now anyways and him and Doc seem to have a great time doing what they are doing now.
I don’t believe I’ve ever watched Moonmoon.
Thank god XQC is gone. It’s crazy that such a disaster of a human being has such a massive following.
They are not actually, they seem to crack these yt and viral algorithms and exploit it to make money.
Which is definitely bad and is why yt and twitch are littered with low quality content.
Beast does id x for 7 days doing this immediately that trend is copied and everyone does the same to the extent it goes down to someone playing hanzo for 7 days.
When I say thank god XQC gone I mean from the OW community.
I am not talking about Youtube. I’m talking about live viewership and real interaction.
That XQC goblin can barely string together a full sentence, treats woman like trash and has mental capacity of your average teenager. He maintains almost a 40k average viewers by being bad at games and raging and “reacting” to things.
Been tanking since the first day of OW1 and I’m going to be upfront. If I was given the option of a) playing Orisa or b) slamming my man vegetables in a car door I’d take option B.
Orisa is the most unfun tank, with the most braindead ability (fortify) I’ve ever had the displeasure of playing against. I tried her out ages ago before her current state and even then I couldn’t stand her thanks to double shield. Even having her on my team makes me grimace. I used to hate Hog but now it’s Orisa by a country mile.
