You know, I had typed up some 8 paragraphs of my experiences on this game so far, but I deleted it all just to say this:
Everyone knows what’s wrong with this game, and what’s been wrong with this game. You can choose to ignore it, defend it or demand a fix for it. At the end of the day Blizzard doesn’t care what you have to say about anything, if they did we wouldn’t see things like Mercy’s much anticipated nerf held on the PTR for 2-3 months. Look at the Blizz/Dev tracker columns, the ONLY replies you will see are to posts which talk nothing about feedback, unless of course it’s Blizzard locking the thread because it took a negative turn, while ignoring the hundreds of non-feedback threads which take negative turns. They’ve made their billions with a b from this game, now it’s all about occasional balance changes and cosmetic updates to look good on paper and bring some more income flowing into the company. The majority of the profits of this game have already been made.
Let me list concise versions of things wrong with this game.
-Updates take too long
-Balance is a joke (think of how long it takes for an OP hero to be nerfed)
-Supports are being completely ignored, Ana’s still unplayably bad especially against dive and Moira is still the most rewarding, lowest risk support
-Forums cater to hive-mind complaints
-OWL getting too much attention
-Dive still has no counter
-Half the heroes are unplayably out of meta
-Bugs
-D.Va and Mercy’s reworks (which were going to kill the heroes if you believed the forums) made them must picks, Mercy was nerfed from pressure from OWL being repetitive, D.Va is still OP
-Hanzo’s “update” has been announced something like 4 months ago but hasn’t hit the PTR yet, and on live almost half of all his shots are no-reg’s and scatter was silently changed a few months ago to be less reliable, but no one noticed unless they regularly play Hanzo
-Lore still barely makes sense and is progressing mind-numbingly slowly
-Blizzard encourages people to treat comp like QP
-Report penalties are solely based on quantity of reports not quality of reports and/or evidence (I reported a person for telling 4 people to kill themselves in chat, never got penalized, reported a guy who picked attack torbjorn once and he got punished within a day because of the amount of reports)
-Blizzard changes unimportant things about the game with literally broken logic
For example:
However, I replied with this over 2 weeks ago and got no response
Can’t link the thread but it’s easy enough to find. I should repeat that I am no expert, and it’s likely I’m overlooking something with my logic there, but for crying out loud at least TELL me that instead of ignoring it, Blizzard, I’m sure you can read it and reply to it if you can post stuff like
every day.
Okay rant over, I’ll probably have my forums account suspended after this because god forbid someone’s honest on these forums.
