I love this time line where white girls started getting beautiful plump asses

Yep the situation is dire. Activison’s financial troubles have led to Overwatch’s marketing budget being cut. Without that, there are no more Shills. And without the Shills, no one is talking about Overwatch.

The Overwatch Team has reported in meetings that SPLATOON 2 has maintained more of a playerbase than Overwatch has, even after the controversial NSO. Overwatch is simply not a success.

DIVERSITY IS OUR STRENGTH!

I mean I don't find bob the builder night that engaging to watch either, even more so when the most exciting fights are more or less "Spam stairs and walls, get above guy, shoot guy with shotgun." But it still has a metric tone of viewers.

about fucking time, that overhyped game was EVERYWHERE

it is and always was a bugman game.

Ok listen I am a realist the game is dying because it's the same shit for 3 years now but your comment screams double digits IQ. This game is more about strategy than aim. The game is about ult economy , use x ult after y ability/ult, focus this guy instead of that guy because he's out of position most times , if they go Goatz (and u have pure dps comp) poke untill u get ult or break rein shield/waste moira's heal juice that means giving them the point for some time because if u win the fight n have good usage the next one it's practically a snowball but yeah u rly just don't understand the game at all

>the game has literally 0 strategic depth
Blame shitty map design and ultimate abilities trivialising fights. Replace every ultimate ability with minor utility. Remove every hero designed after Ana. Create a dozen maps that actually encourage flanking instead of having braindead 1 choke point brawls for 2 minutes until someone charges an ultimate every single game. Improve everyones movement speed by 20%. Game is fixed.

>tf2 killer

user, it's no where on the list, by the "is it popular on twitch" logic, it's buried already, not just "dead"

>tfw it's gonna make a come back and survive because vanilla faggots are happy shelling out a monthly subscription to play a OBJECTIVELY garbage game

Just scrolling through, but that's not depth, retard. It would be like if chess had 2 rooks on each side, and that was it.
>you just gotta wait for their rook to be out of position and then put your rook in position
yada yada
it's pure drek game
ironically, heroes actually had potential as an esport, but they fucked up everything imaginable regarding unlocks/matchmaking/progression in and out of game. and it didn't even run properly.

The off spring of drooling retards who think soccer is interesting to watch.

all the gayest shit in the game was in vanilla tho.

junkrat is a character that is somehow both bad and incredibly annoying,
zarya is one of the most broken characters ever made that went unchecked for like two years
6 man rez, 100% movement speed increase from lucio amp.
one hit kill body shots
scatter arrow
roadhog WHIRRRR

I haven't played comp on the most recent patch so I can't really say what the game is like now. but goddamn there was some trash ass shit in OW on release.

Maybe it was replaced by the next batch of 15-20, in an endless cycle, or you know, maybe a few friends is not a solid enough demographic

Junkrat now has TWO explosive charges and he's immune to his own explosive damage. Completely trivialising a hero that was otherwise clearly made to bust shields.
Zarya was busted yes. She was my main tank. was pretty epic when you were able to chuck a shield on Reinhardts being shot at and just get FREE charge because everyone would be shooting at them and then you could go around fucking annihilating everyone with turbo damage

honestly surprised

this, just look at the way they market the fucking game with all these high effort trailers that dont match the ingame art style whatsoever

I don't think they will, no. Modern games have stopped giving people mod tools but it would be cool if they did it for OW. Thorough mod support to make dumb gameplay types like that soccer event or just a map maker

He’s saying since Overwatch doesn’t release player numbers, you can’t make statements like “TF2 has more players”

Nice reading comprehension

christ can you imagine wasting your education to become a pro player only to have your game fucking die

>trusting blizzard to nurture a competitive scene
>ever
They got what was coming to them. Even Valve games at least try to make pro scenes sustainable. Valve games are fucking trash though.

Not surprised honestly, it outlived about 5 other games before Overshit that were touted as "tf2 killers" (brink, battlefield heroes, loadout, smnc, that other one)

>smnc
They had such a good thing going with MNC, too. Then they shat out that garbage, poured oil on themselves, and lit themselves up. I will never get why they did.

Despite all of this OWL will still get 6 digit viewers when its on. I don't know who these hundreds of thousands of people are who are dying to ONLY watch tournament OW but whatever.

>I don't even know anyone who still plays that shit
People like this.

Pretty simple user. Blizzard are paying Twitch to artificially heighten the numbers. I mean, Blizzard paid Google to alter likes/dislikes on their Diablo announcement video. would you honestly put it past them?

la creatura. the only people I know that like to watch this stupid fucking monkey are LITERAL autismos.

side note, overwatch seriously plagiarized MNC's Cheston with Winston
viewer bots aren't hard to do honestly

>first MMORPG for the last decade
>garbage

Blizzard doesn’t care. They already made their money. Twitch/Amazon payed something fucking dumb like 90 million for streaming rights.

I doubt I'll get a real answer but why are TF2 guys in here boasting about Twitch numbers when their game right now doesnt even have 100 viewers?

It came out more than a decade ago. There's been decent MMOs since. Just because NuWoW isn't an MMO doesn't mean this is the only MMORPG that's come out in the past decade.

I dont think you even udnerstand what strategic depth means

its now what you must do or do with good timing, but the choice of different things to do and outplay based on these choices

for example, It might helped tremendously if there are two routes in a typical Overwatch map so ppl can start develop their meta and strategy, and counter strategy and such,
rather than your brain dead, ult chain

you might as well set an alarm beside the pc during tournament, and ask the players to press a certain button, the team taht pressed the fastest and at the same time wins,

Because I'm not OP claiming that Twitch numbers make or break a game, but on the other hand all other signs point to Overwatch's playerbase declining rapidly, so I'm happy to agree with it being dead even if I don't accept his method

>twitch

TF2 is old and was never that popular on Twitch but still has at least like 30-60,000 concurrent players daily. Twitch metrics aren't everything but for a more modern multiplayer game like OW, declining numbers are probably a sign of declining playerbase.

they give away boxes and currency, so people mute and minimze the stream to farm

as an overwatch player, this was the worst thing to happen to this game

>There's been decent MMOs since. Just because NuWoW isn't an MMO doesn't mean this is the only MMORPG that's come out in the past decade.
And the other MMO copying NuWoW

it's propably an addiction by now

also this, why are devs so anal about giving the community some power?
>inb4 IT'S NOT HOW WE INTENDED THE GAME
porcellain wasn't intended too, suck a dick shitlord

i bet u have 1000 stds

>overwatch
AHAHAHHAHAHAHHAHA. I seriously hope nobody here plays this trash

OW died the second they released the ranked mode.
It killed the normal playlists and the arcade completely because everyone went there to troll, and turned the game into a no fun allowed coin toss in competitive.
It would be in a massively better state if they never released ranked mode, despite the drip fed content, massively wrong balancing decisions, waste of resources on shit like endorsements, chat filters and LFG that no one uses.
Also Mercy should have never been in the game.

Not to defent Overtrash but you can't judge game's success based on their viewers. Some games are simply more watchable than others.

>more people watch fucking Tropico than Overwatch
What in the actual fuck.

surge in GTA5 number was due to some random big streamer decided to play GTA5 for the first time, pulling in all players that had played GTA5 before to see how he does

which caused some other minor streamers to follow to get some exposure

As for dota2 you will have to also count Auto Chess numbers

for games outside of steam and without paying heavily for stats companies, twitch is an info source better than none or mere player impressions

Yeah just the tradeoff in this timeline is marriage rates are falling, relationships have an average lifespan shorter than 5 years, and white women kill their own offspring for more hedonism from 20-35. Sucks my man, but you gotta look at the plus side, and that is a nice ass.

>10 hours of gameplay
Of course it had no strategy shitlord you were babby rank playing pub matches with other babby rank. You probably never even unlocked competitive mode.

But then again, a brainlet like you probably considers the excessive indirect splash damage, w+m1 and Crocket/sticky bomb spam of TF2 to be remotely skillful.

Eh. I'd rather ride this disaster of a society out with nice asses than worry about the complete destruction of the nuclear family at the hands of boomers. It's already too late to fix it, anyway. It was entire generations too late, but that's what happens when a generation decides to put all their burdens in the hands of future mankind than deal with their own shit themselves in the now.

Sometimes I like to go into really low count games, find a low view count streamer and say something nice to them

>30-60,000 concurrent players daily.
That’s not a lot of players for what’s essentially steam’s staple, casual FPS.

CS:GO, DOTA, PUBG, Fortnite, Apex: Legends literally have 100,000/200,000+ players almost constantly. Overwatch probably does too.

The fandom of people who play TF2 seriously really needs to realize a majority of TF2 players simply want to kill an hour or two of time on a relatively undemanding, casual, easy game.

Autochess has had its own category for a while now. The only stream that maters for dota players is esports. The couple who do pander to little shits by spouting twitch memes constantly barely break 10k viewers. On the other hand, qualifiers for a minor can exceed 10k easily.

I'm pretty tame in regards to language in multi-player games, but I do speak my mind often. I was just permabanned from the game for "abusive chat". I'm sure there are many others like me. It's no wonder the game is dying a swift death.

Say what you will about Fortnite, but you can at least keep track of what's happening.
Also, the hamster ball + grappling hook vehicle they added in Fortnite is the best thing since sliced bread. Too bad they'll vault it next Tuesday.

Finto sounds like a bean. Also, me thinks the problem Overwatch had was its priorities. It wanted to go full MOBA. People wanted more maps, better match making, a map editor, single player campaign, even split-screen. But it's about adding more characters every month and combating toxicity.

PS: Those out of the loop. The game still doesn't have vote to kick. And competitive is more or less quick play with better match making. Without autofill.

>toxicity
i haven't played dota in a while, but not playing because of this reason is fucking retarded. if someone is an asshole
just mute them, it's as simple as that.
