i recently joined an overwatch team. i have been playing great for the most part but lately i started playing so bad losing concentration.
i started started having dreams of me playing overwatch and not the nice ones but frustrating ones where i keep going to the objective to take it i die and my team mates die. i always try to win but the team is overwhelming us.
i thought it’s time for me to take a break. at first i thought because i didn’t have enough sleep that’s why my game play started becoming crappy. but i think it’s because of too much playing.
how many days do i take break? i have a game on Saturday tournament game and im taking a break form today. i haven’t played today and i will play on Saturday.
is three days break enough? should i play different fps game while waiting or just don’t play any game? i do have world of warcraft and i want to catch up a little bit with my guildies do i jump on wow while im on a break from overwatch? thanks guys
For as long as you want.
No seriously, you decide when to come back. Some people only takes a couple of days while other need months. For me, I have taken multiple breaks from the game, sometimes it was 2 weeks, other times it was months (i think). In the end, you decide.
In your break time, you can play other games, that doesn’t remind you of the frustration in Overwatch, and again, of your own choosing. I would recommend any single player games that you enjoy, or any multiplayer game that is not too heavy on competition. And ask some friends to play those game with you as well.
I’m on an extended break, and will return when the thought of playing seems fun, rather than filling me with dread at the thought of what new horror Blizz has unleashed upon an unsuspecting world.

I usually only play during events now. Inbetween I move on to other games. Playing one game all the time will lead to burn out and disgust for the game.
Right now crushing the new season on Diablo.

Pretty much this… I’ve been without OW for over 3 weeks now (granted I’ve played like 5 games on PTR with a buddy) but yeah, I just burnt out, didn’t find it very fun… Intend to come back when the LFG stuff hits live.
I’ve taken multiple breaks from OW, I always just do other stuff/play something else until I get “an itch” to play OW.
thanks man i will take only three days. it seems it works for me to take three to four days. if i take 10 days i forget how to play lol

Honestly, after a long break, getting back on track takes maybe 1 or 2 hours.
It ain’t too bad.
Personally, if I don’t feel like playing something, I don’t play it… I have done it tho.
I was so into Overwatch at one point that I’d play it even when I honestly had 0 interest to play it… Almost felt like I was obliged to play it because of my friends… Which definitely wasn’t the case.
My breaks are usually a week or two.
Sometimes month+ if I’m really into another game.
I mostly play during events.
If you don’t enjoy playing just stop until you feel an urge to play again. You are not missing anything outside the event times.
