My initial reaction, from alpha until earlier today was very harsh. It has some very very very serious flaws. Like literal bugs, bad game play decisions, etcetera.
But if it’s viewed as kinda what it really is, which is basically an alpha release of overwatch 2 (what we have is not overwatch 2), it has a lot of promise. It’s very enjoyable at its gameplay core. It just feels very very rushed. I know they said they have been working on it for years, but in developer talk that means ideas that made it to this were as old as a few years. You can very much tell it is not polished. This was likely a small team. But the bones of it themselves are great.
Basically I can call it what it is, an unfinished mess with bad rulesets, or I can call it what I think it could be if it is given time, and that is a great sequel to overwatch.
I am not going to lie, it was pretty fun at first, but 5v5 role lock is just so lame. If you are going to rip off Mahvel, at least do it properly. 6v6 open, please.
See I’m kinda glad they don’t but I can’t stand rivals lol.
But yeah it’s definitely meant to be treated like an arcade mode in development, then pretending it’s a brand new fleshed out thing is it’s biggest issue.
If it was like “here is this thing we are working on play with it” I bet it would do a lot better. Putting it in a “competitive” queue was so dumb too. Not only is it not finished it isn’t even competitive lol. It’s just a ladder lol. I get wanting 15 minute bans for quitters or whatever but that’s no reason for it to not be cross play or having rank rewards instead of playtime rewards. I think it’s an attempt at a “beat of both worlds” situation trying to get comp pilled players willing to try it. But at the same time that scares away the casuals the game is more for.
I do think the mode is fun. But the hero selections is kidna lackluster. (where is zen >:( )
Plus 15-20 mins queue for a half an hour unwinnable game is the reason why I stop playing.
Yeah was gonna say longest queue I’ve ever had is 8 minutes and that was the week before it was released when there were very few of us allowed to play.
Ye same feeling, don’t care about the 5v5 there but I’m sick to see the ‘‘tactic’’ Mercy that dmg boost 2 hitscans and you can’t focus a single thing with any other hero , is a 6v5 if you play vs a Mercy btw XD
Lol, what? Illari are broken for last six months in my opinion and the the whole year or more in opinion of other players thanks to damage nerfs. And devs even didn’t reverted any nerf to fix her. They fully ignore her. Skins don’t fix heroes, blizzard, so it doesn’t count. Well, forget about her in stadium also
