Blizzard forcing an esport was what killed OW for good. If they just let that side of the community naturally happen and focus on balance, content, and updates it would of been so much better.

I dont anymore, not after they shit they've been pulling. I was dumb as fuck to even give them a chance

Hey, welcome to the hell that us 15 people that still play Diablo 3 get to deal with every couple months.

How is OW doing worse updates than CS:GO lmfao what faggots are you that bought this game

About a year ago I started writing a fanfiction out of spite because I figured even a reptile-brained autist like me could do better than Blizzard.

I have yet to be proven wrong despite how shit it is, but the negative effort they put into their supposed moneymaker makes me think it's not worth my worthless time.

The first sentence is not wrong, the rest is fucking delusion.

All the Activision money in the world and they still can't be bothered to offer the player what so many other smaller developers have offered with such smaller projects for years. It's so bad that the fans literally use how shit the game modes are as an excuse for what would traditionally crucify a developer for anti-consumer practices.
Almost as puzzling is the fact that so many didn't get off the Overwatch train until well after the clusterfuck that was all of 2017. Pic related.

>tfw when you spent half your waking hours dreaming up headcanon for everyone you've ever been fond of or respected at one point because you're sick and tired and bored of them letting you down IRL

Attached: 1514684234188.png (538x538, 98K)

If your storytelling is better than making random heroes fags or trannies then you're already a better writer

The fact is simply this, If it wasn't for The developers absolute devotion to OWL. It likely would have been different than the road its going. The absolute content in this update was honestly pretty shit, of course the "main guys who spend nothing of their waking day playing overwatch" are gonna say its "amazing" when really the event was garbage, re-using enemies from the retribution mode is just down right lazy. I'm glad i stopped playing this game since last year. My biggest issue with overwatch wasn't the "political bullshit" or the "Blatant Forcing of Gay on Soldier 76" Its the fact that the developers try to mess with the Heroes, and by doing that. They buff ones that were fine by their own, and nerf others that needed buffs. The new hero thats a healer looked like absolute shit to me, Healing should be about healing, Not just DPS. If you want a DPS Healer just go to Zen or Moira. Fucking hell

Oh and BTW, that was an Old post of mine from last year. Funny to see it again. I was a 90 hour junkrat main, and after the buff it kinda put a sour taste in my mouth. I later switched to Doomfist, and still feel like his Punch does a shit ton of damage desu. But with his nerfs ive felt more of a challenge with personally, But i gave up on the game so it really doesn't matter anymore to me.

This
OW is such a shitty esport. I guess it's still fairly popular though.

Its mostly just people afking in twitch chat to get tokens for emotes/skins locked behind a paywall

Pretty much, esports is a cancer that has been killing gaming for quite some time, and blizzard has been the biggest fall from grace chasing the esports money.

Story doesn't matter, people watching OWL and buying loot boxes is their #1 priority.

SC2 sucked because it was a gook clicker rather then a good RTS, D3 was fucked over by its RMAH and was designed around arena combat that was scrapped just before released, and overwatch is the first full price blizzard game with NO CAMPAIGN, how could they fuck that up so fucking hard, they released a full retail price TF2 cart pushing clone.

I'm actually okay with Junkrat not doing damage to himself with his explosives
But giving him two mines was what the fuck
At least they gave it a damage radius nerf but jesus

What kind of updates is CS:GO doing that's better than Overwatch?

his mines should have to prime on the ground before they become useful

But this is overwatch, people complained that torbjorn's turret was too good when its shitter then a t1 engineer turret from TF2

Thats the joke

>The new hero thats a healer looked like absolute shit to me, Healing should be about healing, Not just DPS.
> Healing should be about healing, Not just DPS.
Kind of confused what your point is here
The new hero can also heal and do damage just like any other healer can. There's one healer in this game that feels like a "true" heal slut and that's Mercy. With everyone else I feel I can do damage and heal.

They got a singular map, and oooh man were they happy about it. It's not even a new map, just a remake, and a new money system no one likes

Yeah they really did, But i also feel fucking retarded to follow this game for 3 years
Shit ive still been playing TF2, and ever since i stopped overwatch. It feels like a fucking hallelujah
Yeah, i dont think he should do damage to himself looking back at it. But your right the two mines not only shifted the Junkrat mains, it also brought a sense of less skill for sure. And thats a good idea change, if a timer system was implemented it would be more like a Trap instead of just a easy damage thrower

Attached: ouch.jpg (300x300, 12K)

>torbjorn's turret was too good
I'm not gonna say it was too good, but the instant lock on aimbot was really annoying
I think game balancing should also take into account a fun factor and not just "is it busted or is it underpowered"
But despite hating Torb and never playing him, I hate that they reworked him into some one who feels more "I gotta go in!" orientated than his previous sit down and chill form. Made him feel less like an engineer class and made him lose identity.

Well, again i haven't played in a year so i cant exactly say if hes any different from the short video i saw so your gonna have to take my best idea ive got from him. Is his Ultimate any good and is the invincibility broken?

They really made him appear to have an emphasis on damage but at the end of the day he's a support, and just like many Overwatch healers, he can dish some damage out too. I don't play religiously anymore and stopped playing ranked as a result so my opinions are kind of moot in terms of credibility, but I think his ult is really great but is much better with a premade team than solo, because the wall isn't huge and the use you might get out of it could be heavily hindered by the positioning of the wall or your teammates. The damage boost is crazy good, but there's multiple ways to avoid/block damage already. The invincibility isn't broken because you can destroy the machine that causes it soon as it's put down, so if your team has a brain then they will focus it and push on. Of course if he times it perfectly then you probably won't have a chance to destroy it so that can be annoying, but one could argue that timing the deployment is a skill.
His grenade launcher only heals and doesn't do damage.

>ERP custom games
At least they got that going for them

I really wish I could queue into FFA with friends
I know they don't let you because of people who would abuse the system and gang up on others (even though FFA already feels like that) but surely there's some kind of solution

Ah that makes more sense, I figured the Invincibility was just a timed ability that couldn't be shot down. I might have to download overwatch sometime just to try him. Sounds interesting. Thanks for the info tho. I likely would have still had that mentality if i didn't know

Attached: bazinga.jpg (300x300, 8K)

>. I might have to download overwatch sometime just to try him

I used to play this game a shit ton and made masters before
but I just couldn't agree with the balance changes in terms of "fun" so I dropped the game and occasionally play it once in a blue moon
be careful user, you may not like what you see

Invincibility is fucking broken the thing has like 250 hp and everyone in it can't die. It's basically a Zen ult every 20 seconds

Hey its fine by me. Im not coming back to this piece of shit after grinding for Masters back in the day and ive realized the game just wont be the same enjoyment as i had back in season 1.
and i'll have to see this too when i download the game again. I'll take both you and the other Anons opinions based on what i see.

Attached: PIMP JR.jpg (161x300, 8K)

It's more annoying than anything and just slows everything down it's not necessarily broken as I said before but it just straight up cancels ults and with how tanks and healing are now it just causes the gameplay to grind to a halt.

Oh God, this is how I feel with Symmetra's ult that's just a giant shield wall
That has to be one of the worst decisions this game has ever made in my opinion

The only way to I thought about improving FFA is to make the score based in the on-fire meter instead of who dealt the final blow.

Anyways, thanks for all the discussions ive had tonight. Glad to see something i said a year ago actually pop up in a Thread like this. Adios amigos.
Well it sounds like a Good and Bad thing. it shouldn't cancels ults, instead Ults should affect the health of the Ability, that way you could survive One ult, but it would cost you the Entire Ability
and I have the same thoughts too. Oh well good night everyone.

God hers is awful as well. Such awful decisions and dps characters feel worthless now

Holy shit

I might be a shit writer and edgy fuck but at least I'm trying, that's more than I can say for anything Blizzard's written since like 2003

The closest thing to that I had planned was a reveal that a character had jewish ancestry which we would learn when an omnic trick him into committing assault and succeeds.
I think the sentence; "Shifty-eyed yid was probably trying to cop a feel or flinch my wallet, probably both since he’s a Hollywood heeb.” might be on the bad side of edgy, but the whole point is to piss a character off.


You guys can check it out if you want, I do my best to make it not read like the text equivalent of Montezuma's Revenge, but again, Reptile-brain: fanfiction.net/s/12804755/1/Hero

Basic story is the blue hoodie kid from the first trailer goes on his own little adventure trying to be a hero. It doesn't go well.

Fanfiction.net is real shitty, by the way, they don't let you format text in a way humans find convenient.

The only thing that will save Overwatch is a new dev team

>just let that side of the community naturally happen
Haha, nope. If you let a community foster itself, you don't control it because at any time they can tell you to go fuck yourselves because they can survive without your help. Building something from the ground up means you can build in dependency. With dependency, you can wring every last red cent out of a competitive scene before discarding it like the used cum-rag it is. And that's exactly what Blizzard is doing.

An organic scene is much harder to make profitable. Just look at how long it took to transform the fighting game community into E-sport toadies. Years of careful subversion, years of leading players and organizers to their dooms with the siren call of money and fame. Even then the control isn't complete, and when people leave the scene out of disgust they love to talk shit, and that damages the all important brand. With dependency, you don't have to worry about that. Just get some sucker that's got nothing outside of your E-sport, so even if he does quit, he keeps his mouth shut or gets blacklisted.

Fighting game communities can be pretty tight knit and small so the ripples in that pond are a lot more noticeable than with normie filled Overwatch
Some pro players have definitely left their mark in opinion or streamers in general
they distanced themselves from Overwatch

I'm still mad they franchised or whatever and now the team orgs have those retarded city tied names

So to get this straight they made Mccree a founding member of the gang but wouldn't that make him older then he should be?

Uhhh time is convoluted!

How come fucking lazy valve can make a great mvm mode and mega corporation actiblizzard can't barely release one pve map once per year.

I don't give a rat's ass about the narrative or whatever the fuck.

I would only consider coming back if they improved the gamefeel and the map design.

I guess overwatch is really dead.

>No talon campaign with Baptiste, Doomfist, Widowmaker and Sombra

Is this another psyop by the rich on the working class?

Suicidal Junkrat is how he was meant to be played. He drops bombs when he fucking dies.

Just play Paladins

I guess they think that because you bought game for 40$ 3 years ago you are not entitled to get new free content.

That still doesn't mean you're entitled to new free content.

Yes you are. You play blizzard's shitty game so they can show good player numbers to their shareholders. Same with OWL, they need numbers.
I don't mind season pass, you can basically crowd found update, and still get content without paying.

there are 3 supports than do damage buffs

I'm talking about an actual main damage buffs support two of them are ults and two of them are single target buffs one of which prevents them from healing they need an actual damage buffs support whose main role is damage

If you signed a contract with Blizzard that said "If I play your game, you must provide new free content X times a year", then you are entitled to new free content. If you didn't, tough shit.

Did they do anything to my boy Reaper?

God damn it.

Shadow Step (E ability) is now faster and can be used in the air. Plus you're invisible during the exit animation. It's usable now, rather than a throwaway ability that you can maybe use for flanking sometimes.

Cringe

He has been getting bigger and bigger and even made him invisible when using his tp. He's the strongest he's ever been.

The amount of money they had to blow convincing people overwatch was popular is insane.
You have to wonder if they even made that much money, yeah each guy bought a $60 dollar game but they literally financed and forced an entire Overwatch esports league basically as a marketing stunt. Yeah Valve hosts the invitational for Dota 2 but the entirety of Overwatch esports, every single team, every single player, is bankrolled by Blizzard. There would be no scene without that money

Ah, well that's good. The biggest thing holding him back was how noticeable he was, which made it more difficult to get into range.

Didn't know about the teleport speed but he was getting 50% of damage he dealt back in instant health made him damn near unkillable

If this was a singleplayer game that's pretty much one and done with occasional DLC, not a big deal
but multiplayers games like this are essentially a service at this point
I may not be entitled by definition or law to the best they can offer, but they should offer the best they can as a large and profitable company if they want to compete with other games.

You definitely felt like you were baiting though

There are people here complaining about lore continuity when we know Time Travel exists in-universe.
Like, I know Blizzard doesn't remember this fact when they do their writing but you know they're going to pretend it was all according to keikaku once they do remember.

What if they don't ever remember they have time-travel and keep making bullshit for the lore

It's pretty reasonable to try and limit a character's ability to get in range when they do insane damage up close
But I'm afraid the fact that he's invisible as he exits shadow step my make him real problematic against a good reaper
Don't think it will though

>time travel in universe
Technically no. Tracer can only reverse her own time and only by a couple seconds and this doesn't keep her from aging or anything stupid shit. There is no massive scale time travel unless they decide to pull that out of their asses which actually would be retarded.

>Update drops, 25 gigs
why do you lie, user?

I expected the event to have a second part after the cutscene, but nope, that was it. This kind of cements why I don't play the game anymore. There's been no new events asides from archives last year, then this drops and is the most underwhelming shit ever done, even the skins are bad.

>yeah each guy bought a $60 dollar game
I think they might've lowered the base price permanently ( I can't remember) but on release the standard Overwatch edition as $40 and the special edition was $60

It was only for consoles, aka OP is a faggot console fag.

Then that's about Blizzard standard.

Only half-true. She can control short time hops because of the machine but otherwise her powers go out of control and makes crazy time jumps.

That isn't Time Crisis. Therefore it is wrong.

Sounds like tf2 dodged an esport bullet.
Spending 50 million on owl arena will surely improve my experience playing overwatch.

I was honestly expecting a boss as soon as you blow up the door. I'm amazed how little blizzard do to keep this game afloat outside of OWL.

No, not crazy time jumps. She's jumping between dimensions. This was actually clarified in his intro story when she was first announced. Compared to the other early shit that got retconned because of the rushed release of the game that's stayed consistent. To her it's like staying in place but people can't see her. She is constantly shifting out of her reality and into other ones. Only for very small periods of time though.

I agree completely, this event has been an immense lackluster shitshow.

The game is still a lot of fun to this day.
I don't care about the opinions of seething thirdworld TF2 poorfags or virgin incels mad about the big bad Blizzard boogeyman.
Sure, the game is absolutely not perfect and it has a million flaws, but it's still fun.

Yeah I hate these event lore missions after the first time because it feels so samey
When it ended I was thinking "that's it?"
In both other archive events the ending felt appropriate but that one just didn't feel right. I was hoping the mission would continue to where Doomfist was at, and maybe you and your crew would get a chance at fighting a custom Doomfist.

>Storm Rising took about 6 months to be developed, including the map.
That's just sad.

Where was this confirmed? A dev update video?

What they need to do is get rid of Jeff 'Tigole Bitties' Kaplan and replace him with someone who actually listens to the players and wants to move forward with the lore. It's hilarious and sad how a man who single-handedly destroyed MMOs by demanding nonstop content now tells us that we must wait forever for every new thing.

>Anniversary Event will include a D.Va skin that will "break the internet"
It better be a nude skin, also, fuck off shill.

It's going to be a Hybrid map, isn't it.

I'm really curious on what took so long, whether it was because of communications and A-OKs or focusing work power on something else

I don't know which word you faggots love throwing around more, shill or tranny. They seem to be your favorite go-to knee-jerk insults and that's really sad.

I think that's because blizzard creates new assets for every map. should've went tf2 rout, and make 2-3 maps in same aesthetic.

So they HAVEN'T shown the reunion yet?

No, and they never show forward pushing narrative, as that would alter the current whatever-the-fuck limbo land of the lore where Tracer can team up with the Sniper who killed Mondatta, and Reaper can blow the heads off of all of his agents heads

They will only ever do fucking atrocious flashbacks and "guess who's gay"

Fortnite Man is so forgettable that OP didn't even mention him.

Wow shills are evolving. They can use cool words like "faggot" now. Still no "nigger" though. That one soi hands can never type.

there is no way to make it right, if people follow the age of jack in the pic, then Reinhardt, McCree, Tracer and possibly Angela would not be in the pic due to age
If we go off reinhardt's age, then Reaper Ana and Jack should all be old, and Winston nowhere to be found, as he's a fucking baby gorilla on the moon

Zero effort (aka what they will release) would be a "it was a popular meme among the kids 10 years ago" skin, like nyan cat.

Medium effort would be a Disney princess skin from wreck it ralph 2.
High effort would be an extremely risky Dvadom skin with over the edge Meka and unique voice interactions, including a fitting intro and winning pose.

>>Blizzard shills and whales flock to their official forums, saying players should be grateful that they're getting a free event

I'd just like to point out that Blizzard isn't giving out this event for free, as loot crates are a constant source of income for them. On top of that, the event's main focus is on unlocking skins, which in turn encourages whales to buy more loot crates. This isn't a generous act on Blizzard and it most definitely isn't free, because someone paid for it.

Oh yeah he's a thing.

You aren't kidding about it being short, all the dialogue pads the mission out like crazy

Mein brother. I hate this so god damn much. Events are not some act of goodwill. It is a bare necessity nowadays. F2P does it better.

What? The statue. Hermaphroditus, son of Aphrodite and Hermes, fell in love with a water nymph and they wanted to be together forever or some such thing so a god merged them together, resulting in a woman, with a benis or some such thing.Unless you mean what I meant by that, which is that they'd reveal that D.Va is a guy through a nude skin.

Don't sweat it. Blizzard's fans are as devoted as Bioware's were when Mass Effect and Dragon Age were at their peaks.

They're not even worth paying attention to since they're so biased in favor of the company, any legit criticism is seen as an attack. That's the worst kind of fan.

By the design, no, probably not, might be a more modern recreation, where the creator felt like one godess with a benis wasn't enough to satisfy him. Since I've never heard of her having kids, or turning people in to herms.

Attached: Hermaphroditus.jpg (576x768, 38K)

Mmmm, ok. Thanks.

Scratch that, it's a bit worse than that. The original statue is called “The Three Graces” (Les Trois Graces) by James Pradier (born Jean-Jacques Pradier) in 1831 and this is what it actually looks like, apparently a trans activist added those to them, which is kinda funny, since hermaphroditus represents intersex people, not trans people. People naturally born with a reproductive or sexual anatomy that doesn't seem to fit the typical definitions of female or male, a defect that's as close to humans being "hermaphrodites" as possible, but I've never heard of a case where the penis and vagina are fully formed.

If it weren't for their shitty made up esports "league" Overwatch would be on maintenance mode like HotS now is.

There's really no other way to put other than that the only reason it's kept afloat is it's "successful" esports scene that keeps paying to win Best eSport at the VGAs every year.

What the fuck is wrong with Blizzard

God I miss this game, I used to have such fun playing as Japs

but timmy and casuals will be invalidated because they can't actually aim, so blizzard adds shitty crutch characters just for them

They have console market

But those two are only good at the bottom ranks where no one can aim

Overwatch was just a trend, it already faded away and people moved onto new things like Fortnite, Apex, Blackout, etc

Why are people still playing it AND expecting new content is beyond me, they already ripped millions of people off selling a multiplayer only game with only two modes (hybrid doesn't counts since it's just a combination of both) and like 5 maps for $60 at launch

Attached: 1454235355291.jpg (500x379, 46K)

lol, Blizzard have been phoning it in for a long time with Overwatch. How many times have we had fucking Lucioball, Junkensteins revenge and whatever the Christmas thing is called now? They'll kick the can down the road and tell us how many huge plans they have for Summer Games or whatever and just give us Lucio Ball again and a few more skins, I guarantee it.

They've done fucking nothing to fix competitive mode after like a year of widespread malaise - the only thing keeping this game afloat competitively is Overwatch League, which for all its bluster and marketing, has amounted to nothing more than a mid-size esports event, stuffed to the gills with branding opportunities and corporate-friendly content.

once owl succumbs to a tepid, forgettable death and overwatch languishes outside the top 20 on twitch, blizz will pull the plug just like they did with hots and we'll look back on overwatchs first year as one of the biggest missed opportunities in modern gaming

You can't compare OW to BRs, buddy.

Because people were used to blizzard games having lots of post launch support, specially for an online only game in the current year. But everything changed because of e-sports shit

Using insults and passive-aggressive beta male language just invalidates your entire post. Also why would you ever post this shit here?

Blizzard devs only browse their forums and maybe r*ddit.

this is nuBlizzard we're talking about, the old, based Blizzard is long gone

user there are custom games for that you can even launch the game mode without having a full loby (and yes u still get xp)

It's more like they try and capture new players cuz that means new copy sales I can't rly imagine what non OW player would think when he sees the pros playing but I'm guessing they will get interested since it's so flashy and fast

This is why it's so rare nowdays that you get developer tools/kits for multiplayer games. We can't have the goyim making their own content.

I'm not the poster but from personal experience I can tell you that I'm 99% sure they quit because of stress instead of getting bored from the game with some comps like Goatz where if played perfectly you can even survive grav dva combo your brain has to be hard focused like using all your concentration non stop for a couple of minutes at a time really fucks you up

Hmm I just thought about it and it sounds like a good thing , this company managed to enslave these humans just from a game

how do you play TF2 with the shit MM system? there weren't any good private vanila servers either

I bet they're still butthurt about missing out on those DOTA shekels. No way they're ever gonna provide similar modding tools for Overwatch.

Wouldn't be surprised to be perfectly honest. Overwatch reeks of that sort of thing.

I briefly worked for an indie game company that was like this. God what a fucking awful experience.

I think overwatch is the only game i know where personal skill doesn't matter. It's more about communication and bringing more people on point. If you're a solo player don't even bother playing ranked. Which is pretty retarded system, blizzard wants to be inclusive but they created a game that requires you to have 5 friends to play.

people seriously need to stop playing the shitty game if they want change to happen, they obviously arent gonna do jack shit if the player count isnt drastically dropping

It's a real shame about that since she was trying to get them to stop by reminding everyone that she was part of a large team that made it happen. But the media and feminists don't care, they're going to prop her up as the sole brain behind the entire thing to push their own narrative.

day after day paladins is getting better and better,thank you blizzard.

They would acknowledge the whole team if the whole team was female.

I am if you want me to keep playing your game and spending money

I know a dude that worked at blizzard and he gave me alpha access to overwatch. Right from the start I knew the game would be shit, it did help that my friend told me the game would have spartan content and he was REALLY sad that the real project titan died for this fucking trashcan of a game.

I said this shortly after the game released in a few threads but just got joke replies for obvious reasons I guess, yet here we are with fucking trash can level of content, and few game modes. The entire game was designed to try and steal the league of legends crowd with its focus on low content but heroes and attractively designed characters and skins. This is pretty much proven in the fact that many league players tried to play it after its release despite not being anything like league.

You can believe me or not I don't give a shit, just saying that everything my friend told me came to be true.

Overwatch has been shit since its inception. It was only remotely enjoyable when first learning the characters, but there's no excuse for playing the for more than 50 hours. It's an awful "competitive" game and an awful game in general.

Why don't suits understand that League is a fun game first and foremost, and that's the reason it's still alive and well?
OW suffers from the same problems, it's as if they balanced the whole thing with an unholy mix of inclusiveness, esports and autism in mind, putting fun aside

Overwatch has been a constant disappointment for me
when they started to hype it up like it was the "new TF2" I was hoping for big 18v18 servers and the ability to pick a fun character and just fuck around with friends for a good laugh
instead we got an FPS: MOBA edition and all the cancer kids from League switched over. forced 6v6 matchmaking was a mistake.

Someone cap this so we can laugh at him later
