The patch is (mostly) good

Once again, population density doesn’t matter. If 1000 people play for 2-4 hours at the weekend, they have no real incentive to drop any money on the game, not even the BP.

The 1 player who plays 40 hours a week, and buys every BP contributes more than the 1000.

Is the mostly good patch in the room with us?

Oh wait… DVA profile Pic of course you’d say this now that DVA gets to kill the other DPS and Supports for free

The patch is fun for tanks but miserable for the other two roles and the counter swapping tanks issue has been increased.

I had a game where the tanks were playing musical chairs

Tank picks DVA other tank picks Zar
DVA goes Rein, Zar goes Mauga.
Cycle continues

Yawn.

Ye is good to see soldier buffed, like he didn’t do way too much

Ok, all these doomers you think drop giga money on this game.

I see these guys on here e begging everyone else to boycott and not spend a dime.

Then I see them act entitled to a life time of free content because they paid 60 dollars 8 years ago.

I get on here and say I bought a skin doomers turn around and call me a bootlicker.

If you owned a business would you cater to people bragging about review bombing you on steam telling other people to not buy your game and boycott?

Or …

Would you cater to people like me who do buy the battlepass and don’t mind kicking a few dollars to support the devs cause we like the product.

Be honest.

But I still see multiple people in high ranks buying skins, and even paying out every BP level on day 1.

The anti shop people are just very loud, and monetisation has no effect on gameplay. Experimenting with moving away from top down balancing has had an awful effect on gameplay, and you’re in a minority thinking differently. No set of patches has ever united the community in hate as much as S9 to now.

Dva is already meta. Always has been like that, but Zarya exists.

Well yes, but no.

Stale metas are how we got here.

Sojourn, Tracer, Kiriko, insert tank that was king/queen for a season.

Which is also the problem with 5v5. There’s only so many variations of 5 that can be on top in role lock.

That’s also why I ain’t a fan of 6v6 role lock.

And look further that the problem of the competitive nature of this game.

You can be the greatest at Hog but you not doing anything against your counter even with team work it’s an uphill battle.

Kinda the biggest point of that was launch Life Weaver where even bronze to GM jabronis struggled.

But that’s just an example to show you a symptom of the ow patch change after patch change.

As well as one of the reasons this game struggles to grow. If your Junkrat fans can’t do anything no matter how many hours they sink practicing against hitscan they may leave.

These types of players are definitely leaving competitive.

And in saying Junkrat. I’m saying many of the fans of non meta hard countered heroes and the tank role ain’t gonna return to such a bad experience.

Numbers speak for themselves. Top 500 ain’t like ow 1 top 500.

Real talk ow 1 competitive was in the decline back then too.

Nothing wrong with being optimistic. But if you subtract being realistic it is just wishful thinking. Whether you want the game to thrive or die, everyone should have a grounded look at things

I don’t talk to anyone that commented on Styalosa’s or other streamers videos. I have no meetings with these forum members.

A great many of them don’t like this patch.

It’s a red flag that things aren’t good. Customer satisfaction is lacking which doesn’t help your game

So is it D.Va or Zarya then?

Lmao.

No it’s not a good patch. Every change they continue to make is just ruining this game.

I don’t know what the fk happened but 90% of my matches as tank or healer i have both widow and hanzo as dps which has been an automatic lost each time. So I’m basically “force” to play dps if i wanna chance of winning and I’m insanely bad as dps.

Ever get tired, saying this on repeat year after year?

I am definitely having fun, no need to concern yourself with any of that. It’s great.

:muscle::triumph:

You’re just plain wrong. It’s horrendous. The complete opposite direction than what should have been taken. Tanks do not need to be beefier.
