They literally just buffed 4 heroes who needed buffs, fixed some bugs, and gave us an update on a new feature coming sometime soonish. What was ruined?
You’re not obligated to play the game. If you don’t enjoy it,don’t play it.
It’s a simple concept and yet…

I wouldn’t say the forums is a majority of the player base. You are right though they do have access to lots of data and the for them to not respond to post such as these would indicate it not being a problem at all.
That’s what they claim, but we don’t really know. We know there’s millions of copies sold (and it’s likely a good percentage of that are smurfs/alt accounts anyway).
Last patch was one of the better in awhile
Get rekt, its a you problem
Noone is alone here, a single voice in the forum might accidentally speak for a big number of people. So I personally think it’s quite concerning seeing so many post about leavers lately.
And I have to agree that balancing is really bad. Some of you might like the changes, but only because you finally are able to climb. That isn’t an indicator for balance, it’s just a personal preference. I used to be diamond for a long while, now I simply stopped playing, I didn’t even care to rank in. I play like once a month just to realize that the game has totally shifted into a cc fest and terrible balancing or rework failures.
Some of the issues are so obvious I fail to believe a single person cannot see it. Here is an example:
Brigitte’s shield bash does 50 dmg. Why? It’s a stun ability, it shouldn’t do 1/4 of a squishy or even 1/3 for Tracer. Reduce it to 25 like McCrees flash.
Whip shot does 70 dmg. This one is even more mind boggling. This ability is supposed to gain a gap between you and the enemy. It’s a displacing ability, a defensive ability. Yet it does 70 dmg? It’s just stupid.
That’s just an example, I could talk about DF or some other heroes as well, but I know it’s useless. OW is out for quite some time now and it has gotten absolutely terrible, they had time enough to do fix it.

Hurr durr things that I wanted didnt happen hurr durr my mains are off meta and im triggered hurr durr
Have a nice life. We won’t miss you I promise.
There is no point in making suggestions as the devs never listen.
Yeah…I know the feeling…
Me: I campaigned for a year and a half and over 5000 total posts to give Pharah survivability, give her a better ult that isn’t a suicide bombing meme, let her not be so dependent on Mercy to survive, SHE NEEDS SURVIVABILITY BUFF
Blizz: Ok Pharah now has a weaker splash damage and weaker splash knockback so its even easier for her counters to fight her. There’s a ton of hitscan buffs on top of this. One of three healers (Mercy) that can even heal Pharah properly now gets a direct healing nerf. Oh but Pharah can shoot 7 rockets in the time it took to shoot 6, enjoy!
Merle, I appreciate your passion for Overwatch. We may view the developers differently, but we both appreciate and love this game. The devs shouldn’t waste their time responding to threads here. That’s what the developer update videos are for. They respond by making changes that the community has asked for. And they have made changes. Sure, it isn’t always what we expected or suggested (e.g. Mercy and Pharah changes) but that doesn’t mean they are ignoring us.
I hate that rhetoric ‘blizzard doesn’t listen’. It’s complete bull, and Baja’s thread already proved it. A growing number of forumgoers here already know its bull. Blizzard will make changes to Overwatch based on more than just this forum.
I don’t really care about the events, I play mostly competitive. I would like more lore content, but I hardly think people are leaving because there aren’t enough Overwatch shorts or comics. I agree balance is driving some people away, but that is simply the case of ‘you can’t please everyone’. Every balance change they make will inevitably upset someone.
I personally believe a majority of the changes has pushed Overwatch to a more balanced state. But I also think this game will never be balanced. It’s too complex for it to ever be balanced.
I would love more transparency, but it ultimately comes at a cost. Delivery.
If Blizzard shared a balance roadmap, and if even the smallest part wasn’t delivered, I guarantee this forum would burst into flames, literally. Look at 2 weeks ago when Jeff replied to a post about Hog
When it wasn’t delivered in that week, dozens of people posted demanding answers. So they aren’t transparent because they don’t want to say something they aren’t 100% sure they can’t deliver. And I appreciate that. When they have something important to tell us, they will.
Ranked, MMR, and matchmaking I agree isn’t perfect but they already acknowledged it.
I’m not sure why its so apparent
the Devs have been pulling overtime for the OWL expansion teams
I need proof of that statement, because to me it isn’t apparent.
And again you have no proof it drives more people away. In fact, I have anecdotal proof it did the opposite. It engaged more people to play more.
I went to the recent unveiling of Toronto Defiant and I met a few passionate players. One was a 15 year old kid that started playing Overwatch on console. He had no clue about OWL up until it went into stage 4, but when he learned about it he became super engaged.
He got a new PC and an Overwatch PC version just so he can aspire to go pro. He knew about every single player trade, and watched a lot of Contenders.
He went from a casual console player, to an aspiring pro player. It’s anecdotal so take it with a grain of salt, but I also saw dozens of other kids at the Toronto Defiant event. OWL is going to get bigger, and that is good for the game.
If you’re a Rein main you’ll probably won’t like that POTG…
(Notice how quickly the enemy Rein dies)
Yes, people need to accept the fact that their suggestion might not be implemented but your comment serves no purpose to further the discussion.
If you can’t respond respectfully and not belittle others, please keep it to yourself. It only furthers toxicity and fuels this response:
from others.
I’m just mocking them for sounding like a crybaby lol
This is verra sad :’(
Chill mate, dont put so much pressure on a small indie company, im pretty sure they are trying their best
Care to elaborate? Or is this supposed to be just another useless complaint thread that offers nothing actually constructive or even worth reading?
