Gets to high for every hero, where do the casual less skilled players go?

To a different game as the game will not be worth the effort and frustration to play casually

They go to the skill basement?

Where they have already been going too. Easier more casual multiplayer f2p games.

That’s why those games do way bigger numbers than ow 2.

Dont know about numbers, but I have been getting game in less than 30secs. so…

So?

Your game speed to find a match doesn’t change the fact that ow 2 is not the number 1

Nor the number 2,3,4,5

F2P game out.

2016, you can make that argument.

Today no. Its not a popular game.

Profitable yes.

But does it do bank like a League of Legends or a Genshin Impact?

I can’t even conceptualize a high skill Overwatch assuming we’re just discussing mechanics of course.

High skill floor isn’t that bad for the casual players. What’s important is skill diff against your enemy. You could play and have fun when the enemy has about the same skill level even though skill floor is very high.

The problem occurs when skill ceiling is too low and the skill level of many people are above the skill ceiling. There’ll be no meaningful skill diff and every match would be determined by luck.

This is what happened with EA knockout city or something, it was pretty successful and fun at first but soon everyone crossed the ceiling and it became samey
