You know that supports rarely get potg (unless they focus only on killing or in very specific cases), so I thought of something to help with that, without making most potgs boring to watch, but still, showing that support helped you to (or someone else) win POTG.
Why isn’t there a mechanic to show 2 people on the potg screen? let’s say I’m playing soldier, I use my ultimate and my Ana gives me Nano, and so I kill 4 people, in the end of the match I would get potg, but would that happen without nano? it was Ana’s ult that made me kill the 4 people and win the POTG (yes, maybe I still killed some without the nano but would I win the POTG?), would it be fair for her to also receive an indication on the screen at the end of the match (The potg), in this case, there would be a diagonal cut on the screen and both soldier and ana appear, each with their own highlight animations (or simply the highlight animation with the soldier’s name appears, and later then Ana’s) , and of course the gameplay they would show would be Soldier 76 (no one would want to see a Ana just healing and etc), that would be good, everyone would know that Ana and Soldier did this POTG together.
That way a Kiriko with Kitsune Rush, Mercy with Damage Boost, Baptiste with his ult, and several other skills that can help an ally get more kills would participate in the potg
Indie company. Give them time, money & resources. We will get Blizzard Quality Experience. Maybe in Overwatch 3.
Multi-dollar company. Please understand.
yes literally anyone that is not blind can see who gave the nano boost. and I dont want to watch a cilp where a player press Q on somebody. and nothing happened afterwards
Yet another thing scrapped… They didn’t promise it, and I forgot who mentioned it, but I thought they were working on something like a Duo Potg system.
And maybe a PotG counter? That way you can show off how bad you are with only 10 potgs on a hero! Yay! (You can hide it as well…)
I think it would help the PvP scene not be so toxic, but then again I don’t play so I don’t know. I disabled all forms of communication besides group chat back at the start of OW2.
Why is there no 2 person potg?
Because they cant sell you it.
The ONLY thing this company prioritizes now, is retaining a player long enough for them to buy something and feeding as many new players as they can into this sales funnel.
Maybe they could add two tiers of POTGs or show a POTG for each role
In nearly all Blizzard games they cater exclusively to DPS players. This causes an imbalance where everyone wants to dps for preferential treatment.
Then they start to overpower healers, tanks and supports and try to bribe them into playing more or making it more enticing for dps players to switch to.
Which fails.
How many decades has it been?
They fostered games to have these atmospheres where they apply cares about what the ‘bros’ making the game likes to play. Usually mage, and typically leave the other roles in the dirt until they have to make them OP.
Imagine if blizzard had treated all three roles in this game equally when it launched? Had they not created two roles for dps. Had they thought about balance before hand.
Now they are so desperate they aren’t going to be releasing a new dps until sometime next year maybe.
They do not care if supports get play or the game. They only care the dps felt coddled for pressing q
