But wow I played the first 3 years of OW (the good one)
This game is horrible in comparison to anything enjoyable.
Matchmaking…
Everyone has said it, thought it, and all sigma grindsets threw a “git gud” at it.
It’s not fair. You get smurfs, cheaters, and just completely unfair games. Free to play, 5v5, and horrid “attempts?” at anti-cheat have made this game… Not fun, not enjoyable, and unless you’re on console. (wait forgot mnk spoofing isn’t detectable… of all people ubisoft solved that issue lmao)
Anyhow, onward…
Comp. mode
Unless you solo carry. You got your rank because your team was good. You get ranked based on your team. Bad tank? Okay silver you’re the problem. No performance stats contribute to comp.
Role ranks
TLDR: Gold on one role, diamond/master on 1-2 other roles. Who’s taking the L. The gold/silver not master/diamond with a smurf role farming newer people.
Progression
Non-existent. Battlepass… Fortnite copy paste… Literally every game now. Get gud blizzard?
Balance
Supports shouldn’t be better than half the dps. They shouldn’t have gotcha mechanics that oh boy you almost made a play but immortality and life grab. It feels like the first mcree pocket sand you ever got hit with and go… tf is this.
Tanks shouldn’t be half buffed. Doomfist, junker queen, orisa, zarya, sigma2winma (Literally anyone who loses a round almost collapses a lung rushing to pick him lets be fr)
Why is ball useless now. Why is Winston, almost useless. Yes in a coordinated team he can do work. But with all the stupidity counters being added to save dumb decisions instead of being punished. He’s not great compared to other tanks. Ball also. What value does he have now with one tank?
5v5 isn’t it chief.
6v6 was better. Nerf support damage and gotcha abilities. Tanks should be middle of the road like less shield but a bit more damage for some of them. Make dps, not get challenged by supports for high dps. Insane.
6v6 allowed for a casual experience. A good casual game is a good comp. game.
Halo 3 was casual. But also highly competitive. Casually you cannot play this game anymore. You have a bad time on tank, or your tank isn’t able to hold it down. New? Nope. Too high of a skill ceiling to play tank. You get blamed, targeted, and kinda need to meta ride.
What I want is OW to be OW. I want to pick characters I want to play. Not meta.
I want to casually enjoy this. I don’t like being angry and annoyed.
I know I’m not the only one who wants a game to relax and chill on. It’s just not fun having to try 100% of the time or play some lame arcade game and have everyone upset you’re not trying to win.
Already don’t.
Friends do but they play on console. Also every other game released recently is crap.
Halo, cod, etc… Everything is half baked. But we also lost out on the old game.
Otherwise I’ve given up on the covid wannabe developers who somehow got a job gpt-4 can do better.
Supports wouldn’t need so much flapping damage if we went back to 6v6. Why? Because the second tank always could shoulder a burden, whether it was helping take the damage or peeling for Supports. Back then, notice how so many Supports were just fine with average damage outputs? They were able to pitch in just enough to help tip a fight. But now, because of there being no second tank to help do anything, they have to keep the entire team alive and themselves, resulting in recent Supports getting giga buffed on damage.
Abilities like Immortality Field and Life Grip wouldn’t even be necessary if we still had a second tank.
Agreed. Games nowadays just suck tbh. Everything’s all about balancing things to the extreme like we’re running a science experiment. All those numbers and changes based on “data” and all we get is the fun succed out of it. Go back to the roots and just having a casual experience. Let the community decide if they wanna go full on tryhard mode, or just play casually with friends/alone.
As someone that climbed to masters solo queueing in OW1, matchmaking would occasionally give you an unwinnable game…maybe twice every ten games or so. OW2 gives you anywhere from 4 to 7 unwinnable games every ten games cause the matchmaking is just beyond terrible. It’s made solo queuing a complete waste of time…I can’t get anywhere in ranked anymore. I have accounts in masters diamond and plat. They all feel the same. Just total rng ranked system. Your skill makes a difference in a minority of games you play and most of your losses are due to a literal bronze skill level player in your diamond game.
i agree, i just uninstalled today , just did about 2 hours worth of games that where straight up anti tank , they did the same damage to the dps on my team . high plat low diamond player. there are games where you legit cant do anything about it and it sucks. charge in die fast , use all defensives trying to push in die slow. 5v5 doesnt make sense with the gotchas and melt fest that happens. bring back overwatch 1 and bring back papajeff
The shills around here will tell you to move on and quit and that the game isn’t for you anymore even though it’s literally not supposed to be that way and it should remain for everybody but you can’t convince morons to open their eyes.
There are obvious problems a lot of people see and experience. I’ve dropped Destiny because it was the same way. Unenjoyable.
Why’s it a problem to address issues and have a discussion on a forum?
Why play if you don’t have fun with it. Blizzard has perfected the “investment” only 2nd to Apple. People are invested to a point where they play when they don’t want to for many reasons. They are addicted. There are no real comparable games. They like some of the game, just not most of it. They have invested years of play and don’t want to walk from that. This is the case with most Blizz games now. They are not fun and they have all moved into bad pay models that no one likes with content behind paywalls.
I had 99% of skins in OW1. It was amazing through most of it’s iterations. The 2 point maps, 6vs6 were great. Box drops were fantastic. Seeing your “rank” in your profile was fantastic. I agree that they took a Fortnite copy paste to monetary success. It’s embarrassing and blizzard should be ashamed that they put content behind a secondary paywall.
Bad:
5v5
Balancing issues
Most character reworks for OW2
No PVE still
No loot boxes
Paywall content
Most Push maps
Lack of 2 point maps
Ultimately, I feel like OW2 is a flop and the only reason people stay is video game addiction and the fact that they feel so invested and there really isnt anything else like this game out there except a few bad copies.
