Let’s be real, I don’t need to say more but holy absolute bananas this patch and the rank resets have absolutely destroyed competitive play. I realize blizzard doesn’t give 2 craps about anyone but they’re shareholders but I can say unequivocally that this game sucks so hard that I don’t even want to play it.
“we realize everyone worked hard for their ranks so we decided the best way to go from season to season is to de-rank everyone and see if they can do it again” suck a fat one. I’m done with your stupid freaking games. This company makes the worst decisions I’ve ever seen.
$10 says Diablo 4 sucks as well.

Well, it actually is. Regarding gameplay you don’t have to pay a single penny to experience it all if you’re willing to put in the hours.
But the game fails miserably at keeping the playerbase engaged and coming back for more. Never seen anything like it before.
I mean, when you can earn WAY more coins by playing WoW or abusing Bing Rewards than by actually playing OW you know something is definitely wrong. They implemented all the bad things about F2P titles but none of the good ones (like being able to earn premium currency consistently and a fair amount of cosmetics if you’re willing to grind for them).
The result is an unmotivated community growing angry slowly until our patience runs out.

thats basically it
a free game needs to have the players hooked
making them play 9 months non stop for a single skin is NOT how you hook players
game is unrewarding and unfun to grind

I get called an apologist a lot on these forums but I mostly agree. It feels like Blizzard is not only failing to listen but actively listening and doing the opposite in many cases.
Keeping the underlying rank for season 1 was a mistake but de-ranking players in season 2 was also a mistake. It’s made games wildly unbalanced even before the balancing issues brought in with this patch.
Doom, Sojourn and Tracer are broken. Supports feel ignored and I’ve ended up against people with top 500 titles in gold rank matches after the de-rank…
I get some changes take time but top players warned them about Doomfist before he went live and they ignored it.
Players reading patch notes saw the problem before playing and predicted the results…
It’s hard to defend that when Devs appear to be flying blind.

I hope to christ blizzard one day goes bankrupt and we never have to see any god awful game ever made by them again. It’ll be the happiest day of my life and I’ll be laughing so hard at them when that day comes and hopefully it’ll be soon.

Why? I love this game, I’d rather they got it together than failed.
They have had 6 soon to be 7 year’s to get it together but almost everything they have done so far just makes the game worse. They don’t care about any of us to them we are lower than dirt to them.

I don’t think that’s true. Sure it varies patch to patch, sure sometimes it feels bad but that’s the process. This current patch is terrible imo but it’s a blip in a larger picture. I hope the next patch is better but why would I want my favorite game to die?
I apologise I didn’t realise it was your favourite game. I hope I wasen’t comming off as rude to you. What I said above are my personal opinions from my own experience. Sorry once again.
I thought we were battling for Olympus you can’t leave 
It’s fine. I didn’t find it rude or upsetting.

Yeah they droped the ball when they had the asinine idea to buff doom… let’s add even more stupid mobility and stuns and f this feces coverd game straight to the ground… blizz and devs are not more than thumb dwindling and sucking clowns… would hope to smack them and shake them till they feel the pain and anger they bring into the game with their stupid decisions and secrecy.
Show us the loss at the first screen when the matchmaker screws up… introduce hero bans again so that we can ban heroes which sucks the fun right out of this mess.
why are we even battling for olympus? - the game has a rich universe - where is the damn pve? - this whole seasonal theme garbage just seems like a stretch to sell random cosmetics without furthering the overwatch experience in any meaningful way.
I feel like overwatch has been taken over by the fortnite team and instead of making more overwatch they are throwing fortnite stuff on top of it and seeing what sticks.
