‘All roles are now hybrid dps and feel the same’
‘Every support and tank is now just a hybrid dps’
‘I enjoyed having super tanks, supports and dps’
‘Having 1 tank makes the game a deathmatch’
‘You have less control and the game is no longer as intricate and fun’
Shocker Not like the anti-5v5 people called this a year ago when it was first pitched
just seems blizzard continue to listen to the wrong demographic of players and continue to kill this franchise. People are already dropping this game hard. Even some of the most prolific members of the community are talking about taking a break from it. We are <2 months in to the game and people are already done
Not every game needs to be a fast paced, low ttk Cod/valorant clone. You can have slow methodical, strategic gameplay which is a major reason a lot of us played this game. The fact it wasnt all about just shooting each other, the fact you had heroes that had lower skill floors. Being able to accel at a game not because of pure mechanics but also game knowledge and awareness.
All of it out the window. For what? To chase clout? To try and recapture an audience that just sees your game as a joke? How’s that going for you?
How does it feel to have spent years developing a game, which you intended to appeal to a certain demographic, just for those players to not be interested and leave anyway? And in the meantime, you neglect the loyal community you had and pushed them to the side to chase money Classic blizzard trying to have their cake and eat it too. Every single time it has just made the game worse for everyone. When you dont pick a side and instead just try to sit in the middle, both sides just leave.
We have spent 6 years trying to balance simultaneously for both pros and casuals. How has that turned out? Years of absolute misery as you shed players year after year
We spent 6 years trying to combat toxicity and throwers whilst allowing smurf accounts to exist. Has anything improved? No arguably the situation has gotten worse.
Now we are in a situation where we are trying to appeal to the hard core shooter fps demographic whilst also trying to keep your old playerbase who played the game because of the role-based gameplay and strategy that came with it.
Pick a side! For once! Choose!
If you want this to be a low ttk fps, great. All of us that came to Overwatch for the role gameplay can all quit right now. Remove/rework tanks and supports and you can have your own valorant
If you want to be the strategic hero shooter the original game was, you are going the complete opposite direction.
