They just kept adding more healing, more shields, more stuns, more autoaim,etc Everything annoying about the game

This is what talking out of your ass sounds like

It will go F2P soon

Making heroes so easy and basic that anybody can play them but their tool kit is so shallow that it relies on stuns and healing while giving no thought or ignoring the repercussions it would have on balancing

>Nothing, playercount is in the several hundreds of thousands
Haha, no. It used to be there, but now it's 50k top online.

>We want the competitive scene

It's too casual, people get bored pretty fast

Shit balance and a dipshit community where a majority of the playerbase doesn't understand the concept of changing characters to play around a team comp and/or enemy counters.
If you're getting blown the fuck out as a certain damage dealer then you should change.
If the enemy team is countering your grav+dragon combos because you're too stupid to kill the Zenyatta or you don't have an Ana to disable the heal then you should change.
This is usually a problem with the damage dealing characters, but tanks and healers need to learn to fuck off and press H when their strategy isn't working.
>but muh ult
if it's under 50% then it doesn't fucking matter just switch we all know you're not going to make a play with it in the first place.

Characters that don't require aim combined with shields that have too short of a cool down reducing the need to not get hit, combined with healers that do all of these things. At this point even if they delete briggete, Baptiste will just take her place. It can't be undone.

Fortnite

Characters that are meant to make the casuals happy which give an extreme advantage to any player with two brain cells.

Feel free to refute my point, instead of posting some low effort non-argument.

I've never seen it as packed as it is now. Great game.

>50k top
That's a very generous estimate, it usually sits at around 20k players.

What do you mean "what killed Overwatch"? That's a loaded question that implies Overwatch is dead.

It's not at the peak of its popularity and it's not Fortnite levels of popular, but it's still a very popular game with the fourth biggest esport in the world.

Yea Forums has been saying that OW is dead since before it even released.

Too much focus on being an e sport than being a video game

Slow and underwhelming updates

Removal of the ability to play multiple of the same character per team.

>with the fourth biggest esport in the world
It's behind Fortnite, LoL, Dota 2, CS:GO, Siege and probably a good amount of other games.

It's not 2016 anymore

Fortnite

Should have went F2P when it was gaining ground.

The workshop update just brought a huge breath of fresh air to the game.

Not a comp player but fucking around with a arcade and quick play is still great

Ults. It doesn't work for a game with no downtime.

That and chokepoints.

Remove these two and the game gets 100% better.

This is what did it for me. It never felt like it was going anywhere and the whole "change characters to counter the enemy team" is pointless when everyone wants to run a main.

Nothing, cause it's not dead. It's just not as popular because the balance sucks.

I bet fortnite

90% of Blizzard's efforts were concentrated on making fap bait characters for every fetish out there and not on the actual game

>worst maps to budget ratio ever in a video game
Probably because every map tries to have a unique look to it. Instead of just reusing a bunch of assets and slapping them into a new map, they create a bunch of bullshit so it can look like another region. The only exception I can think of are the maps made for arcade.

At its peak, during a marshmello concert, the game hit 10.8 million concurrent players.

not making it a porn game

tanks and healers being so strong that they invalidate almost all dps and making the game a boring heal and shield slog fest. Also ultimates are 100% unnecessary, they punish you for switching characters and they aren't fun to play against since all of them are insta kill or immortality buttons

Extreme team-reliance (even compared to TF2) while the community is based on one-tricks and random matchmaking, and even good performance in losing match does not feel rewarding, esp. as a tank or healer, which are usually 2/3 team in most compositions.
Playing with a good team is a joy, while being harassed as a main tank while your team is playing with their extra chromosomes is enjoyable only for masochists.

Having the average composition be built around having at least two tanks and two healers kills this game for me. It was more fun in the really early days when having just one healer and one tank was enough for most team comps.

This. I miss the days when you could go ham with Tracer and carry a game. Now, if you don't have at least 2 shield characters, your team comp is destined to fail.

Stop samefagging

Lack of sexy skins and private profiles.

Devs don't listen to the community.
Community wants less bottleneck maps = Next 3 maps are bottlenecks
Community don't want 1-shot heroes = They release Doomfist
Community doesn't want abilities that halt the flow of the game = They release a hero that has a device that makes everyone in the area immortal, and it isn't even an ult. Its a low cooldown ability.

Whats bottleneck mean?

Based, seething subie journoshit responses

It's not behind siege or any other games. The first four you listed are the only ones that are bigger. Overwatch has bigger viewership and bigger money involved than siege.

It's a bad bait from this 4channel board.
Their argument is if the game is not Fortnite level of popular then it is dead.

This basically. Its usually a corridor or gate, and there aren't many other ways around. So 5 minutes are usually spent with a team on either side exchanging fire, mostly shooting at shields.

I have less of a problem with Brigitte because I got to master rank by spamming her when she was unbelievably broken.

Sniper dominance and the introduction of Doomfist, the worst character ever created in any video game.

It starts with a Y sound, you intolerable faggot. An hero yourself.

The Doomfist release is especially hilarious, because very shortly before they released him, they actually said "the one shot combo wasn't okay with our community" as an explanation for Roadhog's hook nerf.

>stop turning overwatch characters into cops
They turn their characters into anything from business men to scientists to greek goddesses, but somehow the law enforcement costumes trigger the freaks.

Imagine a one shit combo existing in any form in an fps other than a high skill sniper shot

None shitposting I'd say it was a combination of them not striking while the iron is hot for the story when people where engaged and interested and also the eroding of that themselves by releasing mostly just skins to push their loot boxes, events where mostly just about having a really limited time to get exclusive skins and it just killed hype after a while.
Back in the day tf2 had substantive updates where classes would get new weapons, we'd get new modes and maps and they really did some serious world building with it. Much more engaging than "holiday event with limited time skins" and that being it.
Like we STILL don't know shit about a lot of overwatch world and lore and they've killed engagement and people don't care anymore I don't think they could get people excited again desu

Don't worry, Chu will retcon the rest of Overwatch's puddle of lore to be about nothing but his self-insert Genji fan-fiction soon enough.

Sniping isn't even high skill in OW since all the 'sniper' characters have high mobility so they're not punished for bad positioning and the walk speed is pathetically fucking slow so you're shooting at slow moving targets.

Yes

Still not dead and I think your meme just made it worse, you guys sound like fucking idiots.

If I recall you need to charge to about 50%, which is about half a second, to one shot the average 200 HP character. And you can spam them over and over and over.

Its developers and their lack of community support, the fact that they took years to introduce a map creator that is just messing around with the maps they created and nothing else should be enough to tell you why its dying

Probably also a shareholders thing. If Lootboxes sells, you make more, time limited, lootboxes. Even if they game were to die tomorrow they made so much money out of it that it doesn't matter anymore.

It's okay. Those are TF2 numbers.

Overwatch is too artificially planned out. It works in the short run, but the lack of organic longevity really hurts it because you slow trickle content that's keeping less and less interest for less and less people.

They went all in with the esports garbage hoping to make an even bigger bank on that, but too bad Overwatch is a mess to watch and not that exciting. Not to mention nobody wants to see other people play the same frustrating maps and gameplay that they themselves already experience.

after 2 years it became what tf2 is after 10, fucking hell this was the "tf2 killer"? jesus christ.

Don't you think it's kind of antisocial to put that rubbish where I can see it?

but it's not making nearly as much money as say LoL. They are dumping money into it and it's questionable whether or not they are getting more out of it

This is honestly probably the problem. Economically, it's likely better to farm a few 'whales' than constantly bust your ass trying to retain a fickle player base. Whales will spend hundreds on stupid shit and become too invested in their misspent bullshit to abandon the game. You'd have to really try to piss them off. Other players will spend a few bucks over time and require constant content updates to retain.

I doubt they have any reason to change their approach.

That winking face on her apron is literally what I look at when I think about what's behind it.

boring gameplay

Knowing who and when to heal on top of when and who to use other moveset you posses as a healer (like Lucio's speed boost) can be the difference between pushing a choke point or not.
I unironically enjoy overwatch. I got into it late last year and it's fun to play with my bros. I dont take it seriously but I know enough about it to be in platinum. I dont know why other people stopped playing it. I guess because it came out 3 years ago and theres so many other games being churned out. As a 30 year old boomer, I only have time for so much gaming.

It's ironic that most "tf2 killers" usually end up killing themselves instead.

I'm not sure the healers are the problem. TF2 does just fine having a heal beam, and he's so potent that even one on your team, when the enemy team has none, can decide a whole match.

Now imagine TF2 if everyone had a get out of jail free card. You press a button and you can just walk away from your own mistakes. That is what keeps the game from feeling active cause doing well means the other guy can still fuck off at a moment's notice. That's Overwatch.

healing is a problem in tf2 but is also a necessary evil because defending is inherently stronger than attacking. What overwatch does is exasperate the problem by adding in even more healing, shields, and other bullshit to the point where you can only break a hold with a minimum of 3-4 coordinated ultimates
