Dont compare ow2 with other games, compare it with ow1 instead. And as much as you guys love to say that ow1 was dead, it had overall more players than ow2 in 4 months even before they implemented crossplay.
This will no doubt bring about a new revolution in gameplay:
4v4.
Active Player IO has shown the exact same 1H number of players for like 3 months. I don’t know if they’re accurate at all.
This comment is dripping in racism. Sounds more like you just have a problem with asians.
They’re not, they have the same information we do. At best perhaps they’re looking at Twitch viewership, otherwise it’s all made up. That website is a hoax.

that site is completely made up and is as good as asking ChatGPT, your mom or Elon Musk about the player counts. they have no way to get this information for overwatch.
Are the West Taiwan servers back on? Because that might impact player count a bit.

Pretty sure LoL continues to be the most played game in the world.
This is what happened when you bring out suzus to the game with piss poor balancing and buffing heroes with no skill like moira brig. I called this out , game will go stale again in a few weeks and it’s happening.

Fortnite is 4M at all times.
Similar effect applies to all the rest.
It’s why I never take those sites for granted, nor I use them as reference.
But yes, Overwatch is not in good shape.
The game is bleeding active players by the minute, because of the Balance team, and the very same Matchmaking system that already killed Overwatch 1.
I have a problem with the Chinese government , censorship and the toxic parts of their culture. And no, that isn’t racism. Unless being against corrupt governments that hate black people, gay people and muslims is racist now.
I don’t care about people’s ethnicity, i just don’t like that the entire world is being forced to conform to the horrible cultural standards China has such as skeletons being taboo as well as black people,gay people, etc. being something unacceptable.
Unless you hate LGBT and black people you should be against the Chinese government and culture invading ours.

How many times do we have to do this? Those sites have no way of telling how many people are playing. Other games and companies (not all of them also), let the people see it. Blizz was never this kind of company. The only numbers we know are the WoW numbers.
Could we please stop with “the game is dying”? This is not how “dying” works. This is not how any of this works.

NVM checked your post history and you just ooze of “i look for issues where there are none” or trying to get under people’s skin. Won’t be replying to you any further, literally just look up the atrocities Tencent commits in China together with their government if you want more info, but you won’t get it from me.
Have a nice day!

Not enough to affect queue times.
So, I’m gonna go with “nah”
Imagine the depth a second tank would add
Like imagine zarya bubbling a winston who is diving or a Rein who is rushing
Or imagine 2 dive tanks diving
We could then make changes to tanks so they’re not overstated machines that play for themselves and make the armor be like, block 5 dmg per instance of incoming damage
This way the tanks wouldn’t be overstated, therefore seasonal meta abusers wouldn’t inflate their elo playing’em ; o
Oh and imagine reduction in supports power since there are 2 tanks to protect’em now
Maybe this could bring back the potential of solo plays from dps or even other tanks
Man I’d pay for OW1 2 times the price if I could
I mean, technically they are correct. But then Fortnite is dying (less players then on peak), LoL is dying, DotA is dying, CS:GO is dying, Valorant is dying, Apex is dying, Lost Ark is dying, FFXIV is dying… the list goes on. Basically every multiplayer game in existence is dying, they all reached their peak near launch and are now lower in player numbers than they were before.
Does it mean anything at that point? Not really. As long as I can find players to play with and against in a reasonable amount of time I don’t care one bit and will never understand why people do care.
I’m one of those extremists who believes that if a game is fun I’ll play it and if it’s not I’ll quit, regardless of player numbers.

Armor is 30% flat dmg reduction.
Also no, I like tanks to have a presence. 2 of them means Winston is weak and ignorable again. The only tank who would gain from these nerfs are ball. And he’s fine currently.

This is not presence, this is degeneracy
Every tank besides Doomfist and JQ cannot be realistically killed, before the backline is dead, which is disgusting. In OW1 every tank was similar to Doomfist because armor wasn’t as stupid as it currently is and lower healthpools.
And due to backline being the main target, this has led to cancerous additions to the support role
Zen kick, Kiriko as a whole, healling passive which literally negate the solo play potential from DPS.
Winston was like the healthiest tank is OW1, barely ever appearing in the patch notes
And his damage numbers were not really changed, it’s the damn armor
the matchmaker is a big piece of trash, i’m surprised they even have active players. some of the them play them once and uninstall because of the matchmaker i can bet
…my only issue with ‘personal accounts’ as evidence is that the people who give them never say things like:
- I tracked 100 games at this time of day on a sunday over 3 weeks and 65 of them had queue times over 5+ mins
…it’s always just ‘i get 5+ min queue times’ on role without providing any context which makes their experience difficult to draw any conclusions from…?
