I really really really really don’t want to play Clash mode, it disgust me deeply, is all i don’t like or search in any FPS to date (and i play online since Quake for DOS, i.e. since 1996): a brainless chaotic DM… I leave this type of maps/mods since the map Ultraviolence (maded by a friend, here in Italy) for QuakeWorld when that map was played in 16! In CoD i’ll ever ban small maps or too much chaotic mods. Now i’m forced to play like that here in OW and, way worse, in Competitive? I don’t start to play comp till this mode still in place. Clash mode is good only for arcade matches.

I wish they’d take clash, push, and flash out of comp entirely. those 3 modes make up 1/3 of our games in comp now and at least for me seeing one of these maps come up when my que finally pops takes any excitement I was feeling right out and i honestly just can’t wait for the map to end so I can hopefully re-roll a real comp mode (66% chance tho…)
Quite honestly I’m considering quitting again only because of this. Sure there’s all kinds of things to complain about like cheaters, throwers, leavers, the match maker, etc but at the end of the day those have been problems for years and years and I’ve still played through it and managed to have fun but man it’s just so rare that I find those 3 modes fun… 1/3 of my games are basically a 100% chance of sucking all the fun out.
I just don’t get why when they make these modes they instantly go to comp instead of spending an entire season in either arcade or QP first and why they don’t just allow the community or the pro scene to vote whether it’s good for the comp community. Anyone agree or am I crazy here?

I’m really enjoying clash myself. Played it a good number of times and had lots of good games.
Long live clash!

Anubi map is so bad that i lose count how many times i win here just using Symmetra, something like 20 victory and 1 loss
LOL
PS: Hanaoka is like a masterpiece respect to Anubis as level design.
I don’t like Clash, although it’s introduction should keep fans of 2CP happy as it’s the direct sequel to it.
For comparison I love Flashpoint (it’s the best mode in the whole game) and enjoy Push. Control was my previous favourite.
I didn’t think it was possible to make a mode worse than flash point but here we are.
I loved 2cp, best maps in the game. Clash is trash and plays nothing like 2cp. Its just a 1 team fight deathmatch that snowballs harder then push

Of course it does. You just fight multiple points instead of two. Clash is literally 2CP but with the deepest flaws fixed.
I don’t see how a 2CP fan can complain about snowballing…
Besides, Clash isn’t too bad for snowballing given the 3rd point and how that works.
Its better to give them 3rd point and no ult charge, stay at point 2 and instant take it. Then pushem for 3rd while your team has ult advantage and snow ball harder.
What elo do you play at? I ask because in higher elos its really nothing like 2cp. The map lay out, health pack locations, choke points, where to team fight, what points to take. There is no real attacking or defending and no overtime matches for time either.
Its almost like ya know a whole new game mode lol. Seems to be made for all the cod kids
Just one old ow1 fans opinion, im glad some are enjoying it though

I like that it’s a totally different play style to other modes.
The games aren’t good quality yet, maybe they’ll never be, but I like the concept.
I think all modes and maps should be designed so that different ways of playing the game are promoted. If you can just run the same comp every game and do well, it’s boring.
Like it said, the deepest issues that are inherent in 2CP were removed. This is the result. I didn’t say it was exactly the same in practice but the principle is in a similar ballpark and therein is the reason Blizzard are recycling the old 2CP maps for it.
After playing more today I am starting to like Clash more after very much not being a fan. A few games on Circuit, Rialto and Dorado will do that to a person. Perhaps I’m getting very jaded with OW and the community in general too. Might be time for a break soon.
and in CoD i play shipment 24/7 24/7
sooooo, no?
I don’t like it but I’m 99% sure this is by design. Team 4 wants to make matches very quick, in order to keep the wait times low for the non-tank players.
Though I think Blizzard is destroying OW by encouraging 4-5 minute comp matches over the 10-20 minute matches.
if they wanted longer games they would bring back off season unranked comp matches.
thosr where fire back in the day. playing basically qp with comp rules and people without the number changing.
It’s one game mode. The rest of the modes are longer, play differently and require different strategies.
If one out of 6 modes is a little faster, what’s the issue.
I don’t want every mode to be able to be played the same way. That’s boring.
