Sooo, gold guns? Bragging rights?
Who cares? Are they wins?
Depends, what are you winning?
The game? Y’know, the “victory” screen and going up the ranking system?
Oh, so a stroke of the ego? Maybe a little dopamine rush?
No, i mean the Win part of Pay To Win.
You aren’t winning anything. There is no tangible prize. You can refuse to pay, and still win.
Keep dreaming. As long as there is money to be made, OW2 will linger. They will not throw away a few million in development cost just because you say so.
No, really, you can win the game. That’s what the Victory screen means.
I hate to be that guy but if Overwatch 1 can survive being ridiculed and not have any new heroes for 2 years and be called “dead” since 2017 then im sure Blizzard and their god awful business practices wont result in OW2 dying in a few months.
Oh you can win the game?
Or you can pay and still lose the game.
It probably won’t kill overwatch but comparing overwatch to apex and valorant ain’t right either. Apex and valorants core gameplay is the gunplay and abilities come in as secondary which is vastly different to how overwatch works.
You can pay and stand a better chance of winning the game because you got more practise in doing things that will lead to you winning the game. P2W.
Are you insecure about winning the game because someone might have more practice or a better computer, maybe some high ranked buddies they don’t have to pay to help them win?
What if you suck at the new hero or don’t find it enjoyable? Did you Just pay to lose at that point?
No, practising things makes you better at them. Paying to have more practise raises your chance to win.
So does practicing without paying.
you cant practise without paying
You can practice all the counters. You can practice any number of other things, but this one hero makes it pay to win? Sounds like some BS to me.
Yet it is absolutely P2W for the stated reasons.
Well damn, I don’t have to push buttons or even turn on my computer! I bought the new hero, so I win the internet!
