Arent seasons supposed to hype up the game and bring people back? Why did S11 launch at the same average peak player count and drop by 20% in 4 days?

Because the highlight of s11 is that Roadhog isnāt unkillable anymore. Which is good, but besides that, gameplay doesnāt feel fresh in the new season.

Because itās almost the same as last season?
I aināt playing basically s10 again but Soj is buffed and more opportunities for Push.
Also like all the skins are ugly and the BP is just, no bueno? Like super weak BP content with the dual duty Zen/Genji emotes and just really the whole shebang is kinda sad.

Bad BP
Bad shop skins
no creator event rewards
New map isnāt interesting and you only see it maybe once a session
Meta is near identical if not more annoying
I mean they were so starved for content theyāre bringing back pink mercy this season is 99% filler

Because it offers nothingā¦?
Itās a minor patch and one map for a mode many people donāt like, what did you expect to happen?

I mean, is there reason to even login?
With how trash the OW2 content has been, it is surprising it is even getting that many.

Not that Iām doubting the info, this season doesnāt feel like enough changes were made while also introducing a BP that a lot of people donāt like, but where are you finding the info for player count?
Probably the same Steam playercount weāve spent the past 2 or so seasons being told doesnāt mean anything.

It would take more than 1 map and a fairly conservative set of balance changes to draw a spike in attention. I donāt think itās too surprising. The content creator stuff they threw in doesnāt have a lot of heavy presence in the game menus (notably, no event rewards related to playing it), and sounded underwhelming enough that I donāt want to touch it.
The situation is made worse by the Battle Pass skin quality being optimistically divisive (I think most of them look pretty bad except Ashe, and some of it is definitely due to coloring choices. I really hate all the red highlights they keep shoving on them).
Isnāt it obvious? Lol. 11 is a filler season, the only real new thing is Runasapi. Not many people really care about Ashe or her mythic. Everything else is mostly the same aside from balance changes
Next season when the new support comes out ā¦ that should have a spike

Elden Ring DLC dropped scant hours before season eleven. Thereās only one reason Iām not playing ER DLC like everyone else is, and thatās because someone wanted to watch me play through it. I promised them Iād wait for them to be around like some kind of idiot.
Although the Hog nerf alone has made this season feel miles better than the last one if Iām being honest.

I would be supremely disappointed if no one connected the gigantic dots to the new Elden Ring DLC dropping.
Per the usual, potatoadās got it

That was my guess too, but I am honestly always curious when others post stuff like the OP without actually telling you where it came from.

Where else it could be from?

-Rather boring theme (or at least only appealing to a niche audience)
-Less skins than ever, and only follow 2 themesā¦life guard and season theme.
-New map is push, which many players donāt care for
-No new hero
-No new mode
-āEventā isnāt interesting (although I do look forward to lucioball)
-MORE monetization with 2 different kind of mythics now probably (which, surprise, people hateā¦especially if you got that FOMO)
Did I miss anything? I probably did.

Nothing remotely reliable. Iāve seen people try to use third party sites for MMOs like WoW or FFXIV before that donāt reasonably have any way of knowing the actual player count but people pass stuff off as if itās gospel anyways. I wouldnāt be shocked if people did that for OW too, whether to try and frame it in a positive or negative light.
I just like knowing peopleās sources.

Prepare to not be shocked: They did and they do. Seen it several dozen times by now 
Itās better now that we have decent trends on Steam, though.

It is reliable because it can be checked from multiple different sources.
And even if try to argue that steam doesnāt show the full picture, there is no reason for the bnet numbers to be affected in a different way. The season is the same there as well without any bnet specific benefits anyway.
Well, that one is actually the unreliable one.

Cool, then Iād like if the OP were transparent about what source theyāre using rather than us assuming since it could be something like;
As Lucky mentioned.
Edit: To be clear, Iām not arguing that steam is unreliable. Iām arguing that a some people do use bad sources and Iād rather just know rather than have guesswork as to what source theyāre using. Thereās no good reason for a lack of transparency since if what they say is true can be fact checked.
