Well, Blizzard chased a paycheckā¦ itās like theyāre chasing a paycheck. Nobody truly ācaredā for Overwatch. Itās just whatever is the next best thing.
Too bad Blizzard didnāt get the memo.

imo, Valorant is boring to watch and seems stressful to play.

OW is really no different. Itās boring to watch and very stressful to play unless youāre throwing.

Same for me. Iāve tried it out but for me its nothing like OW and CS:GO is better than Val.

I donāt see myself being excited for an āAceā or āClutchā
If other people do, thatās fine.

This is extremely, unbelievably false. A lot of these guys who are leaving did love overwatch. There were much better competitive ācheck chaserā games at the time, but they chose this.
The fact is they simply donāt like the game anymore. Itās easy to see why. Honestly if I was a masters player Iād probably hate this game too.

Orā¦itās the players who are going where the money is. Valorant teams are shelling out a ridiculous and probably unsustainable amount of money for players for a game thatās not even out of beta and has no esports leagues yet. Corey will probably get a massive signing bonus even before thereās a league to play in.

This right here is the problem, thereās no actual infrastructure for this crap, yet players and organizations are treating it as the next biggest thing (may be the case). It might be successful on release, but overtime itās just going to suffer from popularity hangover.

OW was a GREAT game and could have a GREAT e-sports scene. Who would risk his career waiting for the next moth meta or brig (goats) meta to bench him for months. We suffered mercy meta for 5 months! Goats was even more. If i was in charge of ow balanced with an agenda to destroy the game i wouldnāt be so effective. Truly magical.

i wish overwatch still had the potential to see 1 person get an ace or clutch anything at all

This is something i can understand. Some of the teams roster adjusted to Goats and when 222 came out, they had to get new DPS players.

I personally donāt think that would be healthy for this game now.
He didnāt say that he left OW for a negative reason, in fact he praised Blizzard in his Twitlonger. He just prefers Valorant more. Plus Justice arenāt doing well at all, glad a player of his skill level is getting out of that train wreck of a team.

game was at its peak in 2017 when you could do that if you were good enough, theres a reason that was its peak, and theres a reason so many people are quitting for games where you can like rainbow 6, valorant, even just going back to CS

Thats true for both of them. They love Overwatch and praised Blizzard. They just dont want to see the game to suffer. As their job is to competitively play games i understand why they switch to other game which prepares their Esports scene before the game even launched officially.

There are also players that play this game for the team aspect.
People have different preferences when it comes to that stuff. The game just isnāt geared for solo-centric carrying anymore.

it can still and always had a team aspect, you just couldnāt be so heavily held back by your team to the point you could still do things by yourself and still carry games

I can see it if 2-2-2 wasnāt a heavily focused team composition.
Itās understandable. Any game gets boring after a while and chasing money is a legitimate incentive. Itās not like heās abandoning his potential cancer-curing lab studies to pursue a lucrative career in making lead-based painted childrenās toys. The guy plays video games.
Anyway, you think people wonāt get sick of Valorant? I remember when the major OW streamers flocked like the pied piperās rodents to the great OW killer Apex Legends. Thatās ancient history and now some of that same herd has drifted over to the even drearier, personality-free warehouse world of Valorant. The most notable of the flock are the dps players who, in my opinion, are simply seeking a dps game that they can solo carry. As a potential spectator e-sport, Valorant will be a disaster. You couldnāt get a more boring viewing experience, watching interchangeable street militia spend 99% of the time peering around corners, changing weapons, and opening crates. Exciting stuff. And the graphics? Drab, dreary, and lacking detail, which is something the hardcore solo-carry obsessed dps gods find appealing but few beyond that.
