I remember when OW wasnât a traditional FPS.

Had another one of those games just now. A good example. The usual âmimimi no shieldsâ the whole game. In the end the PotG would show people just W into Junkrats nade spam, even though one can clearly see them, if a monitor is being utilized.
Thatâs exactly the point. Itâs not a deathmatch. Itâs not about kills or damage. Itâs about an objective, tactics, strategy. You have to use some grey matter to accomplish your goals. Thatâs even more true when you donât have your classic shield babysitter - you still have plenty tools, but you forgot how to use them.
I really do wonder what this shield cult is doing in OW2. Are they going to throw half their games because there is a fifty fifty chance of not getting that oh so crucial shield?
I donât know if you misunderstood, but i meant that i want 2 tanks and shields in the game. I miss when the TTK wasnât so low and when tanks werenât so fragile. I miss when we had a more diverse abilities and more unique heroes kits.
Iâm against the direction OW is going

You dont need shields if the other team cant hit anything. You want the shields if your team is being deleted by hitscan players otherwise

I can tell you what most will do:
- stop playing Overwatch
- playing only PvE Overwatch
- or playing character that donât need shield like Tracer, Genji, WidowâŚ

Some on this forum donât understand how much casual the actual gameplay is and how much ruin the skills of the players, specially for how much they relay on shields.
Hopefully Ow2 will make overwatch a competitive game with some changes, specially the shields/tanks changes.
Reducing the actual playersbase and get a new one will help to get people more used to a more competitive gameplay.
And how likely is that?
Even without hitscan players, there is still projectile spam.
Uh Iâd say⌠if youâre in Silver probably donât need shields, but Gold players have decent aim for their rank
To be fair, the game could be all dps and it would still be far away from a generic shooterâŚ
It just is better at every aspect of the game than the competition
Movement alone is for me incomparable with all other modern fps games
Right, when I have to push payload on Havana last point I wonât need shield I hide behind cover and push it trough gps signal.
we NEED shields-

Anyone who refuses to see, and take advantage of, the value of shields is a selfish player who is putting a lot of undue stress on the heals to make up for the lack of damage mitigation just so they can be more of a pew pew tank.

imagine following me around to other threads to try and belittle me. Itâs practically harassment at this pointâŚ
imagine telling people to play heroes that they do not enjoy. Yikes
show us some of your âRienâ my friend. I am still waitingâŚ
The cart is your cover, fam.
Dude each time you asnwer I know you joke but personally not really in the mood , but if youâre serious payload isnât this big cover lol
otherwise where I hide when devs keep doin maps for hitscans? behind Roadhog belly?
Iâm not saying there is no value in shields, that would be akin to claiming shield tanks are useless. Read again.
I mean, why not? It is technically a barrier, just harder to see through! Plus you can rub the belly for good luck.

For real I appreciate the attempt but cannot smile at it , that will only feed enemy ulti faster and leave us without frontline
You should be in Masters?
MmmmmmmâŚNo
Already saw some mistakes that a Masters player simply would not do in the 1st few minutes of your vid and its something a Silver,Gold or a Plat player would do.
