>Overwatch is, by nearly all metrics, a successful game. It has made a massive cultural impact, inspired people outside of the usual first-person shooter demographic, and made Blizzard a lot of money.
>But Overwatch feels dated when I compare it to other, more recent competitive online games in 2019. A big part of the problem is that Blizzard can’t seem to keep up with the pace at which games like Fortnite, Apex Legends, or even Destiny 2 are updated with new content.
>Overwatch’s biggest benefit over these titles has been that it offers a competitive, ongoing game and a rich world of lore, but it doesn’t matter: All aspects of Overwatch are updated at a similarly glacial pace.
- THE STORY IS GOING NOWHERE SLOWLY - THE BRIGITTE ISSUE - FRACTURED FAN BASE
>No new modes >Characters and maps come slow af >Not even map creator Sad OW cant even kill free to play games like Paladins and Realm Royale and shit
Jeremiah Scott
>Characters and maps come slow af Does it need these things more often than it is currently getting them? Maps maybe but not every game needs to be league with 200 champions.
Team Fortress 2 felt less stagnant than Overwatch with more limited roster, even before all the loadout changes.
Connor Diaz
>Team Fortress 2 felt less stagnant than Overwatch with more limited roster Thats why I suggested map creator desu- community has nothing to do if blizz wont release more content.
Also yes a game like OW needs a lot of characters- especially if they want hero bans in the future.
Bentley White
>older game feels more dated than newer games stop the fucking presses

Even if a new map was released every week, it would just be "hide at this corner and lets all use our ults at once and whichever team out-ults the other wins"
Cameron Taylor
No one's even asking you to read the title, just read the snippets OP nicely provided you fucking idiot.
Mason Wood
based super brigito putting the final hole in the sinking ship that is overbotch
I'll only bump this because your smart enough to use the archive.
Thomas Cooper
>THE STORY IS GOING NOWHERE SLOWLY More PVE COOP could save this game- the Archive events are actually good- hard to believe this game didnt have a story mode to begin with.
ho my god, journalism is so stupid lol. Incan't believe that this still matters! it's 2019... just text a fag if you are curious about the status of a game. your shitty ass friends probably know more about the games then the "professionals" who write about them
Aaron Gonzalez
Well they do have a point. When your only offering to the game is to point to a random character in it and say he/she is gay. It is no wonder they are losing out to fortnite. I personally think SFM porn is what made Overwatch stand out at first.
Brody Reyes
THIS GAME WOULD BE PERFECT FOR THE SWITCH :OOOOOO
Jason Perry
its fine if its not shoehorned into the game a great example is tf2
Noah Sullivan
>implying the Switch could even run OW decently, especially with all the new shit they've added
Colton Clark
How about you go choke on your dragon dildo fuckwad?
Benjamin Allen
Overwatch's problem is that they crafted the story in such a way that this was bound to happen. TF2's stories don't have this issue because for the most part they are self contained, and the major ones are tied to events.
Camden Ross
And TF2 went a long way with custom maps and servers. Some people even made Overwatch maps in TF2.
Elijah Roberts
>Overwatch's problem is that they crafted the story in such a way that this was bound to happen. Basically this: imagine a story that only goes backwards from where you begin. No forward progression-all flashbacks.
David Gray
That, and all the fun stuff in the lore? NOT FUCKING RELEVANT TO THE GAME.
Hell, even the gay shit is irrelevant and pointless.
Really? Stunning? That’s how you PLAY Brigitte. That’s her edge in battle to compensate for lack of ranged attacks.
Counter with a good snipe from the side, ricochet bombs with Junkrat, surround with Sym turrets, etc. You can counter every hero with any hero, you just need to be creative.
People who die and bitch online are the same people who keep feeding without switching up tactics.
Easton Perry
Soon.
Nolan Gomez
God this was a good fucking comic. Something overwatch can never do.
Caleb Ward
Overwatch built its entire game around the "waiting for a medic uber" and shield meta. Would maps fix that?
Blake Garcia
>It has made a massive cultural impact More like a massive cultural impact on my dick. No other game produced that much of r34. And I didn't even play the game.
David Martin
Having the option to create some content other might enjoy is enough to satisfy people. Or they just want to play on their own map they think superior to Blizzard. Who knows, something else to do involving the OW world is needed though.
Joseph Cox
Overwatch went for the lofty ideal that 6 strangers on the internet could come together and play a video game strategically and logically.
it's a nice dream. even though the game sucks, I still kind of admire them for trying
WTF is wrong whit journalist those 2 games are totally different except for the fact that they both sucks ass one is a team based arena shooter the other is a battle royal game yet he treat them the same is the same shit every time genre get popular lucky developer made billons others developers copy the hell out of them people get tried of the genre new genre get popular rise and repeat those devs expect people to play the same game for all eternity?
Isaac Cruz
What is the one universal constant of multiplayer video games?
Eventually you grow to hate the game.
Aiden Bailey
are they still running that four tank two support meta
Angel Morris
>FACTS! Oh shit! I'm sorry user! I didn't mean to scare you with your Boogeyman!
It’s 3 tanks and 3 supports now. They call it “GOATS”
Nolan Cruz
M-MOMMY
John Wilson
I miss the time when a game was released and that was the end of it
Jaxon Evans
It's not like people just liked the game for porn anyway.
Liam Price
They completely fucked the game when they added Brigitte, it's not a solvable problem other than removing her. She's not even overpowered on her own she just allows for certain playstyle that has no real counterplay other than mirroring because of how passive it is. Even the highest level of the game is playing literally the lamest possible games imaginable.
The game was already shittily balanced with stuff like Widowmaker being able to instakill every hero that should be able to challenge her in a not shit game.
Logan Fisher
RIP
Mason Brooks
Overwatch more like changes all the fucking time watch.
I assume the meta and half the characters are still regularly upheaved every 2 months
Logan Edwards
she is a fucking staple of the 3-3 meta that has plagued top level play since last July. do some research and you will realize that none of your "counters" will work when she is properly utilized in a good comp.
Noah Lee
>reduce brig's shield health to 250-300 >reduce D.va health to 500 >increase lucio boop CD
That will effectively kill goats.
Wyatt Hernandez
>brainlets think Brigitte is the problem with the 3 healer 3 tank meta
It's 100% on the tanks. If they dragged Brigitte out in the street and shot her she'd just be replaced with one of the other healers. Tanks just do too much damage while being able to take 2-3x as much as an actual DPS.
Either nerf tank DPS, or add sharply diminishing returns to healing beyond the first person healing someone.
Juan Carter
Brig is basically a tank user. With her shield up she has 750 HP to chew through, more than Zarya with bubble.
You put her on the point and she can't be easily dislodged, and on the flipside will stun and push away characters that try and contest.
Goats is an issue because of healing and shields, she has both.
