Good they deserve to fall off… tired of them taking too long to fix anything and too stubborn to look in the mirror and admit they need more personnel.
Moira shield heal bug just got fixed. It’s been 8 months…

It’s because matchmaking sucks, as well as there’s only 20 something characters to play as. So there’s a pretty poor metagame cus the hero pool is so tiny
Realistically there’s only like 7 or 8 characters to play as atm. Stands to reason.
It’s not that, it is the whole class based shooter genre.
Wow she got 1 nerf, 1 nerf, and stop crying that Tracer players are the only players in the game.
Minecraft is not built for streaming viewership. Its community is built up around mod packs and episodic series videos that get to the meat of the content.
TF2 is decentralized, built around playing the game in server communities rather then watching it be played. Viewership does not matter to them, playing the game itself does.
This doesn’t mean Overwatch is a bad game… Dead by daylight is one of the worst balanced games and is full with bugs.
These make sense.
But what does it make OW?
Is OW a game built for streaming viewership? If so… why the low numbers?
Is OW a game not built for streaming viewership? If so… why did they launch the Overwatch League in the first place.
Ether way… we have an issue.
OWL hurt overwatch twitch viewership number. That’s to be expected. Since a lot of streamers are also OWL players. Obviously they can’t stream if they are scrim or other OWL training thing. They could stream on their free time. But of course there’ll be less time for them to stream.
Also, OWL is not up right now. Not even rerun.
OW is a game built for streaming viewership… but not of the base game casual crowd. OW is built for the streaming viewership of pro play.
Why the low numbers? That is quite simple: grassroots tournaments were stomped out to make way for the OWL. The number of pro players, be it high mid or low level, actively playing at the pro level on stream shrank considerably from this.
There is contenders, but its so under advertised that most people do not even know it exists or when the matches happen.
Other then that? Not much out there. To make matters worse balancing has been bad which is driving people from playing the game. The game is also generally balanced to be entertaining to watch rather then play. This was part of why Dive was allowed to be dominant for so long. How “exciting” it was to watch everything devolve into chaos so the flankers can just hard carry a team.

HotS did a better job with the Overwatch heroes than the Overwatch team. Never thought I’d see HotS get more viewers but I can’t say that they don’t deserve it lol.

i always said going back to shield wars would be the downfall of this game.
having a character that forces everyone to play around him doesnt help either
yeah as mentioned when OWL started they basically got all there money back when the teams had to spend 20 million to join a piece. I doubt they spent more than 240 million on making all the sets of four or five cities if they did then something smells fishy.
IF they did want everyone to play it they wouldn’t leave the hit registration in such a crap state for a lot of people.
Do you not know what a meta is?
the first deathball worked around ana not the tanks, because her nade healed for so much tanks were a better fit for it.
dive worked around lucio’s speed, as rushing the enemies and dropping all supports ,snipers, and dps then getting back onto the point required his speed.
this one works around brigitte but with a lot more stun
actually there has been 2 nerfs first was the blast radius was nerfed now its the pulse bomb damage
