It is a simple fact that this game is not fun, nothing about the design of the characters or maps is geared towards being fun. No, what this game does is numb you to the point of not even caring.
This game was built for OWL. not you, not I but as a platform for advertisements and viewer retention. From the ground up that is what this game’s goal has been and still is. Vurtualy every decision made for this game is to server OWL.
You see, all this game is is flashing lights and sounds wrapped up in quick iteration times so you don’t even bother to question if your enjoying the game because it doesn’t matter if you enjoy playing it because it was built to be watched not played. Watched by people who don’t have an attention span.
The OWL teams are all by design too. just shove a bunch of people from south korea in ever damn team because the Devs wanted something flash for views to look at when OWL launched.
I mean the Devs don’t even interact with the community anymore, only announcing things now at Blizzcon and OWL, surrounded by their own yes men

If you feel, like, REALLY bad inside there are people you can go and talk to.
Don’t like ow? Easy - stop playing. Problem solved.
If it still feels bad, stop posting on ow -related websites for extra effect.

Exactly why im able to say this. I’ve spent alot of time with the game. It was novel at first but as time when on you get to see what changes, what doesn’t.
I can tell you that after 500 hours that this game is bad. it can keep your attention with flashing lights and all but it’s never fun.

I suppose what’s fun for you isn’t what’s fun for everyone. I’ve also got 500+ hours in this game and it was fun on the first day I played it and it was also fun yesterday. Go figure.

I still like it after year. If the community was less toxic i’ll say it’s the best game of my life.
But I still prefer Minecraft in my heart. At least the community is the best. Going to Hytale next year.

Doubt so. It seems like being shoved later.
The game was pretty casual at the start and it wasn’t even suitable for watching on the first place. Looks like someone from above just saw how good hearthstone was doing on twitch and they have deiced all blizzard games should be doing that.

Nah, this game was e-sport since the beginning. I made a post about this that explain my opinion on the subject. OWL and E-sport is a part of the game

If you look at pre launch heroes, none of them screams “aim” + projectiles and character models had huge hitboxes at lauch.
Also it is just not good to watch since everything is so fast and the visuals of the attacks are all cluttering the screen (especially when being zapped by Winston etc). It is a total mess.
The huge hitbox was buggy, and still be buggy. Sometime you can even headshot someone without even seeing his head. The hitbox are still huge.
It’s also a total mess in my daily ranked match. But I don’t lose my brain because of that. When someone go Goat I feel like I’m playing a Minecraft bloodbath battle. I agree on your point sometime it feel weird.
As long as theres even 1 healing player in my games, I’m usually enjoying my time even after 3 years…
Those were big by design. It has nothing to do with bugs. They were reduced because of player’s demand (you know, when they were still listening to ppl)
Yeah but when you play, you have a better understanding about your surroundings. It is not the same for someone else watching though.

Don’t like it?
Don’t play it.
If something that is designed to be ‘fun’ isn’t fun to you, don’t invest your time in to it.
We literally don’t need to know.
There’s enough of these topics doing the rounds, and, I appreciate people want to vent and get things off their chest, but, it just baffles me that people go to the lengths of creating a post to tell us (people who do enjoy playing the game) how much they dislike it.
I don’t particularly like COD, but, that doesn’t mean I’ll play COD, then, complain on the COD forums about how bad I think COD is to people who like COD.
The forums will be a lot healthier if these types of topics were deleted.
For your sanity, I hope you find something you enjoy doing!
I think this game has had enough free weekends for every player to know exactly what they were getting into. Take into account those new accounts can only go into Arcade and QP and STILL many of them end up buying the game.
We get it, you are burnt out. No, its not a bad game, but it gets old fast if you go hard at it everyday for like a year and a half or more.
I love it when the first sentence makes zero sense, nice of you to save us the trouble of reading it.
Not saying you’re not allowed to not enjoy it though.
These things are not mutually exclusive. Game can be bad regardless.
