So I decided to give season another chance, after stopping at season 5. There has been a lot of talk about what would be done, needed to be done and all that.
But guess what, nothing has changed. My 2 first placement matches were met with leavers. And just now I had a thrower that just ran around and didn’t contribute at all towards the fight.
Is this honestly “working as intended” with Blizzard? Because I can’t for the love of it understand what developer can look at this “competitive” arena and sit back thinking “yes, this is good, this is the best I can do”. And had this been the first season, I could have understood. There will always be “teething” problems in new game designs. But we’re writing season 10 now, and are closing in on 2 years with competitive. And nothing has changed.
So why should people bother playing Overwatch to begin with, when there is so little care shown from the developers?

They generally only look at diamond and above mostly, they don’t care about anything under diamond by the sounds of things. I guess that’s where most of the popular streamers and professional players are, the people important to them advertising Overwatch as a game that for many it isn’t really the same as. Sorry to hear of this experience though.
that explains why they took so long to nerf mercy even though every pro player was complaining about her. They listen to casual gamers more because they are the ones that bring in money. they milk the casuals for lootboxes. made brigitte OP so people love her immediately and buy lootboxes to get her skins. its how they milk money. i am sure the balance team is stuck making this decisions due to some higher corporate stuff which demand more money. no person in their sane mind would say this game is balanced
mmm I would argue the only thing they ever respond to are pro players, they are just slow to do anything at all.
They care more about their OWL than they do their actual game and its’ players cuz they want OWL to be their new cash cow.
The problem is that your own success is dependent on random players who don’t necessarily care about winning.
Well they do care but they get easily tilted if things don’t work their way. You already have people entering season 10 saying ‘this season will be cancer’ so you know they’re prepared to not try.
People do tilt easy and fast.
