>play Overwatch a decent amount when it comes out >have a lot of fun, but just get burned out and my friends and I moved on to other stuff >remember how much fun I had and reinstall >it's one of the worst games I've ever played now How did this flawed yet pretty decent successor to TF2 become this absolute dogshit clusterfuck of particle affects and CC abilities?
It's so fucking hard to see what's going on, and you just get constantly stunned, knocked around, and stunned again until you die by all the new fucking horribly designed new heroes. I could smear peanut butter on my keyboard and let my dog lick out more balanced and interesting characters than this.
No one on staff knew how to make an FPS, so they turned it into a First Person Moba
Carson Mitchell
Yeah, this is the thing I immediately noticed.
When I first played OW, it was just a FPS TF2 clone and did an admirable job of it with a lot of potential. Now it's ALL and I mean ALL about ult timings and hero pairings. There's literally no skill involved anymore.
Jonathan Adams
They catered to the e-sports crowd but failed to understand that 80% of their playerbase is the casual crowd.
Jayden Reyes
What went wrong? >Characters have a glacial speed of getting released >Shit balancing decisions >Said shit balance changes also come at a extremely slow pace >It turned from a game based around fluid counter picks and having fun into a heavily meta centric game Countless more issues.
Aiden Walker
Other then the simple answer of >blizzard I'd say a lot of it came from changing the game to fit it's audience, which was different then what it was during development and during the new game honeymoon phase. Current game playerbase is people who want to play a team shooter game where precision shooting and movement wasn't the focus, and due to that the games balance, characters, and metagame have been worked to fit that. So I guess short answer is you're not the target audience anymore. Did they ever add support for picking the maps and gamemodes you'd want to play? I know they had an excuse at launch, but this was always something I thought was fucking retarded. And any time I've rarely had a passing thought to fuck around in the game again shit like that is what keeps me from reinstalling it.
Xavier Cook
Oh, this thread again.
Christian Lee
Long as we're here, let's pretend to be constructive: What would you do to save Overwatch as a game/franchise? Far as I can see, the game itself is fucked beyond repair, but the lore being under cooked gives us the advantage of anything being fair game for spin offs like: >X-Com clone about the Omnic Crisis and the early days of Overwatch >Singularity sequel with a coat of Overwatch paint about Tracer getting more time powers. >The Overwatch 2 we should have got i.e. a Republic Commando knockoff >DMC/MGRR ripoff starring Genji with Hanzo as the Vergil >On the absolute fringe, a T-rated Postal 2 type game about the Blue Hoodie Kid with Bully style humor.
Zachary Peterson
Not wanting to be sound sour, but the lore of Overwatch is just trash. It's a nothing burguer with a side of bullshit. I'd like to see a game with similar character designs set in another world entirely. Not written by Blizzard if that's possible.
Nathaniel Adams
>What would you do to save Overwatch as a game/franchise? Remove every hero released after Ana. It's really that simple.
John Ross
> lore of Overwatch is just trash Exactly, which is why them doing nothing with it is a blessing. The basic framework of world that had a robot war that ended in a peace treaty is an interesting starting point, but they did fuck all with it. The most fun I ever had with the game is making up my own shit lore with blackjack and hookers.
>What would you do to save Overwatch as a game/franchise? >nerf healing from all supports but lucio and zen >change all shield abilities that recharge to wait 2 seconds before recharging >reduce every shield in the game so the highest is rein's wall at 1500 >change sym ult to something that isnt a fucking shield >10% of total ult charge is lost on death
done
Charles Bell
Hey this is good and all but let me help you >remove every shield in the game besides Rein because the game is fucking unplayable and anti-fun against 2+ shields >remove Moria from the game because why the fuck is there a character that heals as well as Mercy, does some of the most DPS in the game, and also has THE BEST escape ability in the game There, OW is fixed. I'd say Blizzard should hire me but I'm not a black transgendered disabled Filipino so I know they won't.
Jordan Morris
This. Overwatch is not an FPS, it's a MOBA with an FPS coat of paint.
Carter Williams
bruh, you really gonna cry about fucking Moira?
Landon White
Why the fuck wouldn't you. She's absolutely fucking retarded and has no place in a FPS game. >throw Orb >literally every single person it passes by is now half HP >all this from a fucking HEALER There's a reason every pro OW game is the exact same lineup fighting the exact same lineup every time and Moira is always a part of it.
Isaiah Rodriguez
keep the characters and lore and world, make it an mmo-lite like destiny or anthem, all the current characters can be in game npcs and quest givers and stuff, focus on pve and group content, character creation and development can be similar to city of heroes, like you pick a basic archetype and just pick from a huge pool of abilities and stuff to make whatever kind of character you want
keep the current game as the side pvp, just to have fun, don't take it seriously
Lucas Mitchell
The game has been unbalanced from the beginning
Kayden Campbell
>not playing mystery heroes This game is a lot more fun when you play non-competitive game modes. Only faggots try hard in this Overwatch.
David Jones
Looks shitty either way
Samuel Robinson
Is this game even casual anymore? I tried doing a few in casual mode coming back since release and holy shit every game is so salty. Devolving into meta picks and stomps, no fluid switching or stratergy just pick the fotm hero and win. You can't even stack heroes anymore wtf happened.
Juan Lopez
Bump that TTK way fucking up
Easton Lopez
You play overwatch? ahhahaha YOU FUCKING NERD
Josiah Richardson
I disagree
Owen Cook
Fuck that I'm tired of retards not playing to win making me look bad because they throw games.
Jason Sanders
So Project titan before blizzard got lazy
Nolan Cruz
Nothing
Kevin Fisher
Blizzard went wrong. They somehow have this way of taking a really good game and then absolutely fucking it up beyond recognition.
Lucas Hill
Overwatch lives rent free
Liam Nguyen
>Le reddit vs >Le tumblr Both faggot autistic shit
