I started playing OW2 right about at the end of season 7. I have really grown to love this game but it hasn’t been until recently, after a year of playing the game and countless hours of youtube tutorials, I feel like I have a pretty basic fundamental understanding of how each role is to be applied towards helping the team reach an objective.
This process takes such a long time for new players. Imagine if I hadn’t taken the personal time to seek strategic advantages from more experienced players through a different media. It would have taken even longer and perhaps I may have never learned.
I can’t stress enough how painful it is to play a comp game with someone who seemly has no clue how to apply their utility towards the objective and teammates. Sometimes they even lack the knowledge to gain cover or completely disregard the objective.
a comprehensive tutorial on positioning, abilites, team comps, counters, objectives, timing, etc. would make the gameplay overall I think a much better experience for new and experienced OW players.
The frustration of playing a game that is heavily reliant on teammates, where those teammates may not have a basic fundamental understanding of how the game is to be played, is so hard to cope with lol
The game is incredibly complex and team dependent, there’s no way to make a tutorial that covers everything you need to know that would be better than just learning as you play in quick play.
I would disagree. There are tons of them on youtube with actual gameplay and voiceover. If you could have the same exact experience except in game with some AI enemy heroes, have the play freeze with an explanation of the tasks/functions and then continue. Sure, maybe it would be long but it would unsure that players have an understanding of the game. Tons of games have a similar tutorial format to the one i am terribly trying to explain lol
There is a tutorial, it doesn’t teach you anything though, at a minimum it should explain health types and status effects because right now it’s just move reticle, move character, shoot target stand on point.
While I don’t feel like making a tutorial, I’d be happy to have you play with me and a handful of others who play pretty frequently and are beginner friendly. Just add me DownWithMatt#1163, and I’ll send you the discord link.
Its still more team dependent than any other online shooter out there. They have reduced it, but if you think its almost none existent, you should play other games.
game is old, playerbase is experienced, no tutorial is gon prepare u for that, not even just playing if u aint familiar with the mechanics of shooting tanking and healing, even if u are u will need prolly months
what u did is what erryone should do, seek experience players hints so u can have all those years of experience distilled into ur brain, then u play and try to use that knowledge and hopefully it sticks
The amount of so many basic mistakes being made by players since OW2 is released, it’s unbelievable. I mean sure, a lot of new players since OW2 went free to play, but this is just absurd. It’s like even the most basic tactics gets ignored.
From dps not playing from behind the tank but instead in front.
Or dps flanking, fail and not playing with the team and then flame the healers who are not even near that player. (Mostly those Mccree players)
Or tanks that never heard of something so basic as to stand behind a cover and wait a sec to be fully healed.
What I also feel is that this Yokai 5v5 type of OW2 game barely doesn’t need people to learn something. Because Tank are like, “I got more hp than dps and supports so why should I learn position”.
Then they fail the entire match, but at the end they got PoTG. So who learns them they did something bad? Instead they think the didn’t play bad else they would not have gotten PoTG.
