…I will reinstall it when the next hero rotation comes, but I’d like to tell everyone why, I guess.
Competitive right now is extremely overwhelming, with the new hero bans especially mccree and reinhardt and echo being released in the game is a recipe for disaster.
my whole games recently have been “who does the most damage?” because orisa’s shield isn’t really doing much.
I’m actually really against the hero bans being the same as the OWL ones because… the competitive ladder isn’t really a 6 stack vs 6 stack, but I’m seeing a lot of people liking that, so be it.
think about it this way, if symmetra got banned, it wouldn’t matter as much in OWL but it will make enough difference in the ladder.
also I'm lowkey upset that Brigitte got banned but fair enough every support is eligible to be banned.

Alright, you literally asked me to guess so I’m going to guess right now before I finish reading it. I will edit my post when I’m done reading to see if my guess was right.
My guess:
You’re sick of hero bans banning your favorite heroes and how it’s ruining everything, and the current rotation bans a certain heroes counters and now they’re incredibly overpowered. You don’t hate the game, but you hate hero bans. You’ll reinstall once they’re gone.
Was I close? I’ll read it now.
Edit: Eh, I was kinda off. But I was close.
actually not at all, please read it lol.
not the type of person who would be upset if my favorite hero got banned, every hero is eligible to be banned.
it’s just that the combination of the heroes that got banned with the addition of Echo is what’s bothering me.

I’m reading it now, you asked for me to guess it so I guessed before I read it lol
Now that I’m done reading, I shall share my feedback.
but you asked me to guess why first so I did.
Anyway,
I completely agree, this isn’t going to go well. I wish they put echo in the game for two weeks before they put her in competitive. What a shame.
I get the “who’s doing the most damage” part, but what about Orisa’s shield?
Well, at least they changed hero bans- people had asked them to do so.
I was upset when Mercy got banned- don’t worry, everybody was.

let’s face ourselves, Reinhardt’s shield is better than sigma’s and orisa’s COMBINED. sure, you can argue that orisa/sigma have utility where reinhardt almost doesn’t. but eh, rein is always the must pick unless if you’re playing dive.
imo it makes no sense for OWL bans to be the same as the ladder, sure, its less confusing but less optimal as well.
I literally said I’ll be coming back in less than a week, this isnt a goodbye blizzard post… i play WoW anyways.

I don’t think they read your post at all. I didn’t read at first but that’s just cause you said to guess it. But, with that title, people are just going to leave troll comments.

i installed GTA5, and just when the installation completed i decided i want to play Doom 2016, so i deleted gta5 and installed Doom 2016, and after that i added Quake champions, den deleted that when it was at 50%, after that installed Doom 3, then Hard Reset, started Witcher 3…
i dont know why im telling you this, these lockdowns are killing me and bored as a pig in space
ok that has nothing to do with the post, but I’m sorry you’re really bored. There are a lot of overwatch “positive” chats that you can just chat with people if you want.

Don’t re-install. Let their players continue to drop off until they finally start to listen to what people want instead of what they think is right. Actual competitive Overwatch is not on par with OWL. It never will be. Waiting for the day they remove hero bans so the game actually becomes fun again, and the way it was supposed to be played to begin with: being able to counter heroes instead of just swapping to another op meta every week, that’s only op because there’s nothing you can do to counter it. An example of this is banning 6 hitscan characters, D.va, Bap, Widow, Cree, Soldier, and Sombra, and allowing Pharah mains to boost through the elo just because they’re simply untouchable. Hello? April fools is over, but the game is still a joke.

Hm. Maybe this is a signal that shields should get buffed agai-

I get why you are angry about what happened during the rotation but why uninstall just to reinstall it in 1 week? Thats just a waste of time.
Why would you uninstall when you are going to have to reinstall?
Just wait
Use that 
of yours
That’s like selling your car during covid shutdown because you arnt using it but you’ll buy it back when you need it
Rein wouldnt even be a counter to echo. Im sorry but you are a support, with no real idea of tanking.

All great against echo and with mcree currently banned, dive is more free to do as they please. Echo has been fine and doesnt dominate at all. She is just there.
Everyone honestly needs to get away from the “OMG REIN IS THE ONLY GOOD TANK” especially if they dont play tank. I can tell you most tanks hate playing rein and will tell you he is not mandatory to win.
Mcree also, ashe is so strong now plus echo is countered by non hitscans as well
I just don’t want to get tempted by playing the game again only to get tilted, its the best option for my mentality.
the only difference is nothing’s tempting about going outside during a pandemic, where… there’s nothing to do outside.

You know what I mean.
You arnt using your head by uninstalling just to reinstall.
Sorry but that’s literally stupid
…I just don’t want to be tempted to play the game during this week’s rotation, only to exhaust myself mentally, its basically a habit of logging in OW everyday.
its stupid if you do it, because maybe you don’t get tempted at all, but it isnt for me.
It would be good practice in will power… good life lesson.
Don’t take this as an attack or the wrong way but, if you can’t not play OW for a week while you actually don’t want to, you may have trouble controlling yourself later in life over something important like health issues etc.
