Lets be honest… Every event we get voice lines for every hero regradless if they get say a skin or not but this event only a select few heroes got voice lines…
On top of that we only got a handful of Highlight intros and a single Emote… There is some heroes who haven’t got emotes in a long time and you had a chance to give them some… Heck it’s summer games you could of gave ana and widow a clay pigeon shooting emote or highlight intro…
The Skins are very just under whelming you pretty much had a chance to give more skins to every hero you have a year between every event we should atleast get one thing for every hero in the roaster…
As for lucio ball why can’t we finally get a new actual game mode for the event you did it for the winter wonderland and gave us a new game mode… Why can’t we get a new one for Summer games… Lucio Ball was fun but it’s old and it’s just not fun anymore… For long term players seeing the same thing over and over again in Overwatch…
It feels like Blizzard has finally just said pardon for lack of the better word… Screw it we have Overwatch league and Contenders people wont care if we rehash things and create them as long as are cash grab called OWL and OWC are still relevant

This event proves that OWL is killing this game. The devs are getting lazy and are just trying to cash in on OWL. And i know that Activision are the ones behind this crap. They have been pushing for e-sports so hard since CoD4. Now they have their Greedy hands on OW. Activision is scum.

The best part of this event is that some future skins were leaked

Pretty much but even this that’s no excuse the Blizzard i grew up with and many other long time players know that this isn’t the same Blizzard they don’t seem to care about the player base at all anymore

I completely agree. Look at the quality of the Lucio owl emote that isn’t even owl related and look at what we got this event. If they pull this crap for Halloween I’m gone. There’s other games dropping around then.

I second that atleast with other games we seem to get more active content… Like I hate to name it but Fortnite they are every changing the map and almost always updating the games content and pipeline and for lack of a better option almost always optimizing it …
Heck even realm royal is a better option then Overwatch and it’s a free game with a horribly buggy engine…
This just proves on many factors Blizzard has no idea what they community wants and people like Jeff Kaplan and others are for lack of a better word lying to the community when they say we listen to the community…
On top of that Jeff Kaplan lied about saying animals are far fetched in Overwatch and thats why we didn’t get Jet Packcat but yet we get a hamster…
Blizzard doesn’t care

this is a very low effort event. reinhardt and winston legendaries are horrible and so are the epics. also ive noticed that not all heroes got additional voice lines. excuse me if im wrong but didnt every hero get atleast one new voice line? like always?

They have stated that I think it was actually Jeff Kaplan who stated that… But clearly he can’t keep his word to the community regrading the game

Last event we got loads of good stuff and OWL was in full swing, but OWL is off and your blaming it? Nice try bro, this event is the worst yet but not because of OWL.

Summer Games, 2016
6 legendary skins
6 epic skins
3 highlight intros
3 emotes
1 mediocre gamemode
Summer Games, 2017
7 Legendary skins
0 Epic skins
2 Highlight intros
1 emote
The same mediocre gamemode, but competitive this time, so it takes up two Arcade slots instead of just one.
Summer Games, 2018
6 legendary skins
3 epic skins (nothing but recolors)
1 emote
2 highlight intros
NO NEW VOICELINES FOR OVER 75% OF THE ROSTER
A 90 MINUTE PERIOD IN WHICH NOBODY CAN EVEN LOGIN AFTER THE EVENT STARTED
THE EXACT SAME MEDIOCRE GAMEMODE TAKING UP TWO SLOTS IN THE ARCADE

To be fair, year 1 literally made you grind or pay for boxes, and year 2 at least on PS4 we were locked out of playing the entire first day because 250,000 people were queued.
This event is still atrociously weak but the first 2 were also not exactly picture perfect.
It actually is because of OWL and OWC they spend more money on that then taking the time to look at problems in the game and refuse to take the large community feed back regrading the game and it’s current state… You have a year between events to make new content for that event… there is no way it takes say a 2-3 months for a single skin unless your legit just blowing money on something else…
I like OWL don’t get me wrong I watch it from time to time but I have been on OW since early beta and notice the quality of the game deep insanely harsh after the launch of OWL

Jelly is disappointed as well, this event proves there is no reason for me to come back to Overwatch.
This is supposed to draw people in, not drive them away.
It’s almost cringeworthy, the lack of content this event, smallest and most disappointing yet😭

TBH there are only 2 things which come to my mind of reasons.
-
They are only caring of spending all their resources on Overwatch League. Which actually I doubt will succeed since MOBAs and Counter are still top on Esports.

Some big announcement for Blizzcon. But I doubt about this one because if is big probably they will make something that you will have to buy. And pretty sure 90% of this community will go “Muh money, I paid for this game, all must be free”
Yes we were but it was resolved and hasn’t happened since year 1 was also before OWL which goes to show that Blizzard actually was putting time aside to address these bugs in a timely manner
Still no speedo skin for Hog or Rein or baewatch Mercy or Mei.

I happen to love the new Winston skin
I dunno, I really like the skins. Especially the Zen one, it’s right up there with Winged Goddess Mercy.
What? Anniversary? You mean the content they ALREADY MADE 2 YEARS BEFORE and just slapped it into the game because “Anniversary”?
Yeah, totally not an lazy thing to do.
