Player count decreasing every day, 6vs6 will improve it?

The avarage player count has been droping daily, there is a peak some minutes of 38, 37 that quickly drops to 20 something, but every day is lower, yesterday the peak was 34 and right now 20000 playing, the second day of the season it reached the lowest player count since steam launch with 16000. without pve or events the biggest highlight of a season is the new character, there is this new tank relased and nobody cares, people didnt came back to play with him, people was talking more about him when he was still called phreak and we didnt know how he looks like. the avarage player count has been going down in the last months, constantly but slowly less people is playing.

6vs6 will improve anything? i personally dont think so, tomorrow being the first day of the 6vs6 test numbers will be again around 40000 but then in one week they will be going down, the dissapointement overwatch 2 is cant be saved not even with 6vs6 coming back

Yes, I remember from all your other doomer posts. Go play something you like if this game is so bad.

Better than a cope doomer. At least I’m spending time on the forums for a game I like. It makes zero sense to spend time doing that for a game you supposedly think so little of.

i didnt mentioned any other game, no one is killing overwatch but blizzard, people is just tired from it

no, people like you is why overwatch is bad, shillers who keep praising the game and cant see the true, keep coping, the numbers are there, in one week player count have constantly droping. ā€œbut but steam wah wahā€ if they numbers are droping on steam it means they are droping on every console

Don’t worry, bro.

The white knight shills are coming in hot to roast you and ensure everyone it’s a-ok even though everyone can see the 40 percent decline in play count thats only getting worse (ā€œbut…muh bnet!ā€).

Yeah, it’s called a representative sample. If steam numbers are getting shadded on it’s fair to say the player pop we cannot see is declining at a similar rate.

Haha.

You couldn’t even stay away for 24 hours.

Garrett <3’s Overwatch, can’t even bear to leave it.

Dude is like an obsessed ex who totally doesn’t care anymore lol.

6v6 is a step in the right direction.

The dev team still has slot of course correcting to do if they want to stay competitive.

A free old Hanzo skin that most people have, ain’t gonna cut it.

The stingy free jobber skin era will have to go.

Like Rivals they gotta give you a free sweet skin to new and old player alike. For this season they are locked in their choices.

Hopefully next season brings lower competitive prices, much needed new content, and free goodies that reward you for play the game.

Not souvenirs, weapon charms, sprays, or ancient legendary skins nobody wants.

Want people to stay n play, reward them.

I am addicted to a new toy namely AI Illustration Generator. So fun that I almost forgot OW existed. I am sure those who have been less active in the game lately have other better entertainment as well.

tooooo late, the right step was never making overwatch 2. and they said for now they have no intentions to delete 5vs5. but of course on a false claim to not make people angry they said maybe someday both could coexist, they are not closed to the option, ergo no

come on buddy, lol

right now im watching bleach which is on the final chapters of the season and the algorithm of my social media stopped showing me overwatch things and now is only bleach, i even forgot tomorrow was the test until i saw post here

That’s what needs to be done.

Blizzard is notoriously slow, that’s why Path of Exile 2 is lapping them.

At some point a lightbulb has to appear over someone’s head to make them understand whale population isn’t worth losing your bigger audience to the competition.

I’ve been playing heavily since OW1 beta. Every competitive season. I’ve played on multiple platforms, I play every hero, I play casually with mixed-rank groups of friends, and I’ve played solo at high ranks the whole time. If there’s anyone here who ā€œcan’t seeā€ what the game is, it’s not me. I’m one of the few here that can say most of that.

If you don’t like a game, don’t play it. Don’t wait for it to ā€œget betterā€ (i.e. make it worse for people who like it) or try to tear it down, just go do something positive with your time.

This kid literally comes here every day to try to tear this game down. I have no idea what verguco thinks they are accomplishing by doing this.

Anyways, the one good thing from this thread is that I didn’t realize the 6v6 test starts tomorrow. I’m going have to try it out, but I don’t expect much. OW2 and 5v5 is better than OW1 and 6v6, lol. (well, ever since rq)

Yeah, there are a few posters like that. I’m starting to think some of them are the same person. I caught someone once agreeing with themselves back and forth on alt accounts, but it was a couple of years ago and I don’t remember their names. It’s just such a weird thing to spend so much time on something you supposedly hate.

I will try 6v6 a bunch, too, because I’m curious how modern tank synergies will feel in that setting, but I’m skeptical that it could ever work, regardless of balance, with such a huge population disparity between roles.

Yeah, it could be really fun, I don’t know. I am looking forward to trying it at least.

The wrong division of the roles for PvP : tank/dps/healer is the root of all evil and 6v6 ofc doesn’t solve the problem.

5v5 just solved a 6v6 problem : dps q times, but it also created some other more serious problems and 6v6 would just revert it, ONLY IF the devs revert it well enough. S9 paladins patch for example should be properly reverted.

the player count is decreasing because of aaron keller and the balance team and i doubt 6v6 will do anything with his this seaosn is going ow2 might be finished after this season

yeah great resume of a shiller, i play since 2017 and i see the game for what was, what was promised, what isnt and what is now, and is complete crap, you are one of the few shillers left here

oh like overwatch 2 did to overwatch 1 players who realized how bad is and left

and you two kids come here to deffend this game, why? if you like it so much why you waste time here on the forums full of complaims?

5vs5 only solved the double shield problem that outside the league wasnt much a problem, at the end of ow1 shields were nerfed much and were easy to break, but then 5vs5 bring a lot more problems and nothing they have done have solved anything, they just make the experience worst

this season with a hero the player count is decreasing, next season will be filler season without a new character (in theory should be a new map but they have broken the promise of a map in seasons without heroes and maps dont make people come back anyway) so player count will decrease even more, and the next year start the effects of the layoffs

As soon as we reach this point, OW will start making some real improvements
