What happened to Overwatch? Why did so many people quit the game? Was it the developers fault or people just got bored?

I quit when they nerfed bastion

I quit when they made it so you couldn't play as multiple of the same character even in casual matches.

They pushed competitive esports too hard and made it unfun to play casually.

>you couldn't play as multiple of the same character
unironically picked up

This, plus they broke the meta by adding too many tanky characters.

The game got boring. They balanced the game around the top 1% of the game which made some characters completely broken or busted at lower level play. Too many matches became very slow pushes forward to the objective that weren't all the much fun. Ranked play is also completely awful with people purposefully throwing games, cheating, and too many DCs.

I think enough people also realized that they don't need to play the game to enjoy the porn. Why play a boring game when you can just jerk off?

Role queue
Good goy points aren't enough to take away my fun

the game is shit

The game started out great with a real modern TF2 casual vibe, but blizzard wanted in on the 'epic esports xd' cash cow and started building the game around it. Stuff like forcing comps and role queueing just ruined it for me and I think many others

>90% of those sales are free weekenders! Just trust me!
>STOP FUCKING PLAYING OVERWATCH!
>FUCK YOU NU/V/! BLIZZDRONES!
>2-2-2 WILL KILL OW! MARK MY WORDS!
>It literally takes 20 minutes to find a game!
>Overwatch? More like Shieldwatch!
>Overwatch is not even an FPS!
>Overwatch 2 means Overwatch is dead!
>Overwatch is on its last legs!
>Valorant will kill OW!
>OW is practically non-existant!
>All of these statements are true!
>10/10 doesn't mean its perfect!
>TF2 has already outlived Overwatch!

>They balanced the game around the top 1% of the game
This is the pit in which blizzard falls every time with their games.
With WoW the advantage is that they have expansions which allow for them to completely revamp the balance, add abilities, gear or classes but with games like OW they're fucked. The audience isn't expecting constant change because they're FPS players.

This shit always comes up with blizzard games. I wonder why.

Valve drones, mostly.

Why would Valve drones be interested in defending the sinking ship that is blizzard?

They need someone to bitch about ever since TF2 died

Shield characters and map designs are fucking terrible. Also art style is shit.

I've stopped playing because they went from nod addressing problems with the characters to constant overbalancing in regards to competitive.

Then they start appeasing to anyone who complained, restricting stacking characters, just gave more shields shields shields to everything slowing the pace of everything down and just generally became unfun as a result.

For such a game they really try to force people into a very specific way to play and no one is allowed to have fun outside of that.

part community being so fucking toxic the devs have to actively try and make it so retards cant punish the team because they didnt get to pick a character before someone else, and other part devs and blizzard being retarded and not allowing fan content while trying to push esports
>when they made it so you couldn't play as multiple of the same character even in casual matches
???
no limits exists nigga

>i never played Overwatch
>now let me tell you why it is bad

I quit when they nerfed Lucios speed boost and health regeneration to a perimeter. If you were on screen view you would get healed or a speed boost. Rip

Wrecking Ball ruined the entire game.

OW is already a fraction of what it once was you absolute moron.

Got stale and fucking boring, no new characters, no new maps, no new modes. Every FPS that reaches the stage of no official or community support has to die.

role queue is the best thing to happen to the game
no more 5 dps mongoloid teams

Team games with randos are ass and always will be.

low skill ceiling but not necessarily in the aiming but more like... have you ever went fast and had the game ARTIFICALLY CRIPPLE SLOW you? that fucking sucks.

- Characters added like Brigitte and Wreaking Ball who are infuriating to fight
- Only 1-2 new maps added a year.
- Legendary shitty Blizzard re-balancing.
- One of the most miserable communities in game history.
- Blitzchung saga.
- The announcement of Overwatch 2, and the killing of any future updates until it's released.
- The fact the game mechanics and design are fucking awful.

It was never good and the hype was based on blizzards name, as blizzards reputation started to worsen the spell was lifted from the playerbase and they started to realize how bad what they had been wasting their time on was

Holy fucking shit, how the fuck could I forget this:
- Mandatory role queue.
- Forced 2-2-2 role structure, and the inability to switch to a different role in quick play or ranked.

Stopped playing around the time every team was basically forced to have a Mercy or they were at a huge disadvantage.

this, I fucking hate it that everyone and their mom is pushing for esports.

Everyone's coming up with reasons, but genuinely it just got boring because of the severe content drought. I'll play again when OW2 comes out

Also this though
Doomfist and Wrecking Ball were massive mistakes, and the number one way they could improve the game right now would be fucking deleting them both or adding a ban system that lets me do it

>Bad hero additions
>Bad maps
>Bad matchmaking
>Bad balancing
>Role queue
>Can't vote for game mode or map
>Stale content additions
>Power creep
