Pride event containing icons, redecorated midtown, and short story
Personally I’d say 8/10. Theme was not my favorite but very well executed, and they finally had most of the skins in the battlepass actually fit it. All the arcade modes were a lot of fun in spite of some truly awful balance, especially in starwatch. Balance wise, the Junkerqueen buffs were unacceptable and Lifeweaver still feels a bit weak, but those are my only major complaints. Also, I’m not factoring the cancelled PvE into the rating
In seriousness, this season was a dud.
Lifeweaver didn’t deliver like other heroes have so the rest of the season had to make up for the slack which it didn’t.
I’m just saying, a season with Dva buffs and Dva mythic will be the best season ever but bliz is scared to make bank with such ideas.
New hero isn’t just a flop, it’s a complete embarrassment. Easily the worst hero release to date. And I say this with Brig and Sombra and mind. At least they didn’t release in basically alpha quality of gameplay and immediately need their keybinds reworked and whole abilities scrapped. At least they lasted more than a few weeks before the devs had to announce major reworks.
Matchmaking is still horrendous.
Balance continues to be awful, with another gigabuffed flavor-of-the-season tank not getting nerfed in a timely manner.
The event mode was just Horizon Lunar Colony but somehow even worse, combined with a really questionable fixed hero pool.
I’m still giving it a 2 instead of a 1 because I think there were a lot of good skins and the Brig rework, while not quite a success, does seem like a small step in the right direction.
I’d give it like a 2. Lifeweaver is a pretty boring hero imo. I didn’t like the Echo changes. Zero widow changes or even an acknowledgment that she’s an issue. Queen buffs are too much.
How we get the match maker even remotely close back to the first Overwatch in terms of balanced games? Just played yet another game of our team with 3 kills total and enemy dps 25-30 kills and 0 deaths a piece while being spawn camped. If you think I’m bsing I can provide the replay.
I am tired of being a day 1 player and now being stuck in COMPLETE shut outs OVER AND OVER in this game. FIX YOUR EFFING MATCH MAKER FOR THE LOVE OF GOD.
Here’s the replay code. C8STK4
Just watch the attack round. Explain how this happens over and over and over and over in this game now come the transition to OW2? HOW? Make it make sense.
Sigma’s mythic is good. Starwatch was mid at best. BOB and weave died out after day 3. Lifeweaver is the weakest hero ever released, that had a control scheme issue on launch and would feed the enemy team more. They refuse to nerf Hanzo and Widowmaker. Uber buffed Junkerqueen (she needed buffs, but not everything they gave her) and the matchmaker is still trash.
But they nerfed Ana’s sleep dart on tanks so I’ll give it a 2
i would give it a 1 out of 10 as season 4 has been a buggy mess and honestly they should of never buffed moira or junrkat i feel liek they secretly buffed other characters as well
Rally rework completely underwhelming
Lifeweaver sucks
starwatch completely one sided geared towards defenders
A few good loots in the battlepass
Sigma mythic skin
I wasn’t a fan of Lifeweaver. That was probably the most notable piece of content for S4. Widow or Hanzo are still in every other game. Starwatch was fun for what it was but I don’t put that much value into an arcade mode I’ll enjoy a few times and then never touch again. I do like that the battle pass skins had somewhat of a more consistent theme. The Sigma mythic is actually really cool.
Honestly it’s unfortunate that the most noteworthy thing this season ended up not being very fun for me. I’m one of those rare people that will play every character, when they sound fun or are needed, except a couple of heroes. Lifeweaver is actually in that list for me. The control improvements helped to make him feel more fluid but I just don’t think his kit is for me anyways.
2/10 not even passing, only good thing was the crazy Talantis community map. Hero was trash and is now getting a rework, and every else was like a fun little thing to do for 20 mins, once then you get bored.
This season was one disappointment after another. The modes this season were all just plain bad or boring, Weaver is an absolute joke and I am currently playing Warframe, because they over buffed JQ for no real reason. She was not so bad, that she needed 3+ buffs to make her viable. All those micro buffs from the last seasons made her a pretty solid pick. The only thing she needed was a bit of survival. I hope they dont trash her in S5 and still manage to put her back into a good position. We had a very balanced game for S3 and until mid S4. How we have one big problem again.
I also did not care about the PvE stuff, because I already play a game when I want to play PvE and because it was unrealistic to begin with. So those -6 points are all due to PvP errors.
