Stadium is peak overwatch and that's a problem

lets be honest, overwatch is great, hero design, game play, sound, all top tier. balance, psh. whatever. what we play multiplayer games is for is other people. that’s why pve OW fails.

matchmaker has taken a dive since ow 1 to give us shorter queues. i’d say 1-3 out of 10 games are good matches. the rest are one sided snooze fests. yea. it’s fun to trounce a team, but the other half of the time ur getting pillaged… this is fine for a normal play session, i won’t go a whole night with all bad games. a few games of stadium can take HOURS. i’m not playing for HOURS without a good game. my battered dopamine system won’t allow me.

i know i say gg
they’re not all good

stadium is fun too, i love getting a build together, jq, kiri and juno are a blast. it’s great practice to have the game sped up. it makes normal OW seem slow. idk how to overcome the poor matchmaking / leaver curse.

It has actually nothing to do with how Overwatch was build. Stadium is nothing more that a april fools extended mode.

Back in overwatch 1 teamplay was the pillar of the gameplay. Now it is like “I’m so strong i run around the map were i want to go and don’t care about my teammates”. Teamplay has been removed from overwatch and it sucks.

You see it in this stadium mode and you can see it with the removal of 1 tank. I see it with the amount of tanks these days that don’t even have a clue how to tank.

Just run around the map and hope for the best. While with overwatch 1 you better work together with your second tank as you get spanked of you didn’t. And most of the time both tanks understand that they needed to work together.

That was peak overwatch.
