How do you feel about the ptr right now? Personally, I feel heard.
1/10
The only real fun is doing really dumb and silly things on custom games or on the VS AI.
Its sad… this game is really sad. Im only back to play the Archives event. After that, its gonna get binned until the next Archive event.

ATM, no. You play meta and roll non-meta, and I’m tired of brain dead Reins during more DPS than the DPS heros.
No.
Getting better, but it’s been 3 years of mistakes that Blizzard has to address and fix.
Increasing the quality of balance patches like the PTR patch.

5-6 out of 10
If we were talking even around seasons 4-5, I’d say this game overall was at an 8 or 9…but they’ve changed a lot of priorities, made a lot of questionable balancing decisions…it just feels like the game isn’t working anymore. And waving around a new hero doesn’t solve the matters at hand.
I’m still playing though, cause maybe, as dumb as it may be, I hope that they’ll actually turn things around.
All around the game is better than before. I think there just needs to be more tools to make it easier to communicate with your teammates. Gameplay-wise, I think the Ults need to be continued to be looked at, mainly the ones that are easily spammable or low-risk/high-value.
2 our of 10 till the fix smurfs
I hadn’t logged into Overwatch since early February. I did earlier tonight, and the feeling just wasn’t there. I’d rate it at around a 3 or so.
Truth be told, I’m just going to head back to Paladins and Realm Royale. I mention those so I don’t get accused of “Apex” given my mention of last logging in. Though I gave Apex a go and it felt fun at first, it just wasn’t for me in the end.
Now, I know Paladins and Realm Royale have their issues, but I’m having fun in them. Hell, I’m even having a blast hanging out with some of their Twitch community like Baggins, Thor, 1HP, and Gentle Giant (and playing some matches with 1HP and Gentle Giant). I can’t say the same for Overwatch on any level anymore, not even after trying again earlier tonight.

Umm i guess 5/10?. Playing QP means dealing with Pharmercy, bunker comps, playing against above plat or playing Mystery Heroes means dealing with stacked orisa, bastions or dvas.
I’m thinking of reinstalling warframe or Tf2.
well, we start out at 10 per match but then subtract one for every

4 insta lock dps
so its really easy for this game to be a 2-4 any given match.
But that’s because I honestly don’t care about the problems NEARLY as much as the rest of the community does. Mostly because I chalk up every problem to git gud.
Com: “The game is unbalanced.”
Me: “Adapt to it.”
Com: “You can’t magically adapt to GOATS.”
Me: “Just kill them like you normally would.”
Com: “But what about Brigitte?”
Me: “She’s one of my mains.”
Com: “Well, you can’t adapt to a bad team.”
Me: “Git gud and carry.”
Com: “It’s not that simple.”
Me: “Watch pros. It’s totally that simple.”
Com: “But you’re not a pro.”
Me: “Not yet. But soon…”
My viewpoint on the game:
I love it, and defying the odds by rising up to them is how I play any video game.
Overwatch is no different, and I’m not gonna let imbalance, goats, smurfs, trolls, throwers, nerfs or even a whole community stop me from personally escorting as many as I can to the gates of Valhalla.
this paris map is stupid.
Hmmm … 5.5 out of 10.
As of now 6 to 7 at most out of 10.
However I’m enjoying the ptr patch so once that hits live it’ll be a 7.
However there is just others issues that need addressing. LFG, Smurfs, recent lackluster events, no lore tab etc come to mind.
When I first started playing in 2016 9/10
Now? a 6.5/10
It’s gotten worse. I know they care about their game but they don’t really think about the whole picture but only one segment of it. Like they add something new to the painting, but when they walk back and look at it as a whole you can obviously see that it doesn’t work.

despite what people think, I LIKE playing goats sometimes, all the micromanaging is really cool to learn to do as a zarya, and I love playing zarya or even dva in goats.
Shame because people randomly decide to play ball on kings row…
I think it is 5/10 because of the design.
Certain heroes with burst potential have the ability to carry while others with sustained damage require teammates to use teamplay so it discourages people from using certain heroes.
If you want to be on comms telling your team common sense advice like “Group up”, “Stop trickling in”, “Stand behind the barrier not in front of it”, “Supports are supposed to support not try only deal damage”, “Tanks are supposed to create space for the rest of the team not to extend the length of your personal suicide”, “Focus the barriers” and “Aim at the 4 people with critical health instead of try kill the person with 100%”
Then the game will go well as a non carry hero but otherwise the game is frustrating.
A lot of these problems could be alleviated by having a proper tutorial system and rewarding players with 1 cosmetic per hero unlockable only by completing the tutorials with each hero.
It wouldn’t solve the problem of having people who know what to do but require a shotcaller to give them instructions because their problem solving ability is lacking…
This is why we need a proper ping system even if pings decay after only 1-3 seconds so we don’t have to join comms and teach these people every single time they are encountered.
Right now we can say, “Understood”, “Group up”, “I need healing”, “Attack the point”
This lack of communication is terrible and the only solution right now is voice comms which isn’t always a fun experience due to how annoying some people are on microphone.
I don’t consider text chat an acceptable option as you have to stand still while typing.
If Blizzard implement a basic tutorial system for each hero and a decaying ping system I would give this game a much higher rank but because they wont 5/10
7/10 maybe the Doomfist buffs will change that, though they aren’t exactly the changes I was hoping for.
10/10. No lie. People will hate me but this is my opinion. Unpopular but is my own. I like the slow pace of balance and features. They’ve made mistakes with balance patches but who doesn’t make mistakes?
As my otp game I rate it 7/10.
By itself game is very qualitative. Mm have problems that are unfixable so I don’t care about that.
Balance for me at OW is the balance between moba and shooter. Not enough shooter and still not enough reward for having good mechanical skill. Tanks are op, too much useless dps chars cant do anything about 3-3 that’s what I call - cancer. Thats why 7/10 not 10/10. We need much more CS things at OW, tanks should die faster or not being able to play together more than 2 in composition. All ults should be nerfed to state where they are not deciding how fight will goes on. That how game can improove: skill - rewarded, button pressing not-rewarding but create some conditions, and shooter > moba.
