OWL had over 100,000+ viewers yesterday and the playoffs arena tickets were sold out so fast most people didn’t even get a chance to look at the site that sold them.
Blizz has always been slow with balance changes, that has always been a thing.
The minority who aren’t capable of adapting are not having fun, others are doing just fine.
Jeff had already said that’d be the case a while back because they’re focusing on other things.
It may not be as lively as it used to be when it was first starting but to say its dead is just false. Over each coming year every game loses players but what ends up being left is the real fans of the game. People have never had any problem with any other game doing this so why does Overwatch have to be different?
Posts like these remind me of children who tell their parents their running away from home, and the mom and dad just laugh and say “Alright, there’s the door”, and they throw their fit and pack up their things.
You know what people want? Overwatch in each year like COD/FIFA and whatnot.
Only thing I can think of which might have heavy impact on Overwatch: Halo Infinite. Since it’s coming to PC and am a big fan of the series, I can see it taking away a lot of players.
long suffering sigh OWL has it’s own team. The devs only create content for the main game and each of those things come to the community as a whole. If it was “OWL focused” as people like to spout, then those things would only come to OWL and not to the main game. Colorblind mode benefits everyone, replays benefits everyone, when they changed the killfeed it benefited everyone. These are game mechanics that the main game had needed even before OWL was a thing.
No resources are being used for one over the other. People need to stop thinking this.
As much as I would like Overwatch to be like COD/FIFA it just isn’t like that, its not blizz’s style tbh. I can see Halo taking some players. I’m like that for the moment with BL3 just released too. I’ll keep coming back to play a few rounds of Overwatch every week like I normally do though.
As far as a I know that’s just some conspiracy theory stuff that Slasher has been spotting and most people know he’s saying stuff now just to get attention. So I take anything journalist say with a large grain of salt.
KarQ is on, IDDQD Is on, Arrge was on a little while ago.
