What went wrong?

Somehow still not dead with Fortnite running the scene.

Isn't OW still mega popular in Asia?

Nerfs and a stagnant meta made for an exhausting game to play long term, and they didn’t do anything with that story they were supposedly setting up.

R they gonna remove all the gold gun skins and costumes people spent 1000s of hours getting in the sequel?

I dunno, which Asia? Because I'd assume Fortnite would be popular since it's made by chinks.

I thought China/Korea. I'm trying to find game popularity by region/country, but not having much luck

No content aside skins, the game needed a Map Creator or modding tools after their first year

Rock paper scissors gameplay.

Cooldowns don't belong in FPS.

Probably. They are retarded and there's no skin economy like in CS or tf2

Pick one

Also the game is WAAAAAAAAAY too fast paced because it's too reliant on teamwork. In proper FPS games, you can hide for cover and catch your breath/think up a new strategy, but in this game it just makes you lose.

Went so wrong its about to get a PVE sequel

Stay SEETHING nerds.

All maps focused on shitty chokepoints combined with very low movement speed creates this boring static gameplay that is only broken by everyone pressing Q at once. Despite the game's retardedly low skill ceiling Blizzard has the gall to shill it as a competitive esports focused game so you don't feel like you're playing a game designed for two digit IQ retards.

Bullshit

GAMEPLAY AND MAP DESIGN ARE OBJECTIVELY FLAWED

TOO MUCH FOCUS ON ESPORTS, COMPETITIVE, AND BALANCE

NOT ENOUGH FOCUS ON ACTUAL CONTENT

ALL THREE OF THESE COMBINED MAKE A NOT VERY FUN GAME

Shit balance, shit maps, focus on esport because MONEYZ so any barely new content for 3 years.

Excessively unbalanced.

Also, the free games will obviously draw greater support.

Blizzard's design philosophy is probably THE shittiest in the industry, but the fact that their games are still continue to be popular is evidence that we live in a world where god is dead

Bliz fanbase was pretty chill, realized the games where mostly bad but liked them enough to keep playing despite Yea Forums shitposting
Overwatch panders to lowest common denominator of representation fags.
Fanbase is 90% people that play the game of that 70% don't even care about the story they just a *insert faux under represented group that "deserves" a character*
Instead of working with the lore people actually liked (omnics as a general concept that is pretty underused in scifi/cyberpunk, world with inate super powers like dead eye, shimada dragons, talon bio tech) they focused on joke lore that went trending on twitter (space apes, uninspired gay shoehorning)

Who keeps making these almost daily threads calling OW dead?

If I could just elaborate on the balancing issues

When people say “Overwatch has bad balancing that they still haven’t fixed” they don’t mean that the game is so wildly unbalanced that it isn’t fun. They mean that Overwatch’s balance updates are what’s CAUSING the lack of fun due to them trying to cater to a specific crowd of people complaining about balance,

In essence, Overwatch wants to be a completely fair game that has distinct characters and playstyles, but also a game that makes nobody mad. I’m going to say it outright.

Take the classic fighting game balance archetype of Rushdown vs Zoner. A Rushdown character specializes in getting in close and dealing massive damage, while the Zoner specializes in keeping the foe away to deal massive damage by controlling space. Both archetypes are completely at odds playstyle wise, but balance is maintained because both characters specialize in the other’s weakness; if a rushdown cant get in, they can’t do damage, but if a zoner fails to zone properly, they’ll be all but defenseless against the rushdown. When one side loses, of course, they get salty, because there wasn’t anything they could do to stop them; but they rarely get major nerfs or entire reworks because the winner used their character in the exact way they were supposed to in order to win, and effectively. Moreover, it’s very rewarding to play a character to the best of one’s ability, especially if that character happens to be somewhat unique due to instilling the player with a sense of accomplishment.
1/2

Overwatch doesn’t seem to understand this.
For example let’s look at an old nerf back in the early days that, all things considered, was necessary.
McCree’s headshot deals massive damage, and it had across-the-map accuracy. McCrees we’re running around headshotting scoped widowmakers like it was nothing.

The question here is “How do we nerf this character in a fair way that still makes him rewarding to play?”. To me, the answer is clear. While McCree shouldn’t be able to get Sniper-tier headshots, he should still be a force to be reckoned with in headshot range. So make it that his bullets stop being accurate enough for consistent headshots after a set distance. This makes the encounter of McCree vs any sniper more fair and exciting, because while he can’t kill the sniper before he gets killed, he does have a few skills that allow him to close distance and deal with being attacked while occupied that he still has a fighting chance of winning the matchup.
The Overwatch team didn’t have the same sentiment. Instead, they chose to flat out nerf his headshot damage at all ranges, significantly lowering his overall dps and how dangerous he was across the board. This fixed the Widowmaker problem, but now, hardly anyone has problems dealing with McCree unless they get flashbanged.

youtu.be/bsC8io4w1sY has a pretty good video for it. You shouldn’t buff and nerf to make a game that’s completely “balanced”, but one that’s fun to play, but has no egregious power differences, because then the game becomes boring.

At least that’s how I see it
I haven’t played in a while(years) so I’m not sure if that still holds true for OW

Nice pasta

Nothing.

I'm playing right now and it's pretty fun. I'll admit I'm only really getting into it cause I want that Mei anniversary skin.

TF2 is free

>So make it that his bullets stop being accurate enough for consistent headshots after a set distance.
And you know why they didn't do this? Because of catering to esports, who would throw a fit if any extra elements of RNG were introduced. Trying to do esports right out of the gate screwed the game in ways like you mentioned

have you seen who works at blizzard. there is no hope for them

>overwatch 2

Basically this.

Also, hasn't Overwatch had an increase in console playership? Not that anyone cares about console...

Still no FUCKING SOUTHERN EUROPEAN CHARACTER. The devs are racist.

>let's nerf a character that requires skill
>meanwhile brigitte still has that op shield and a pyro phlogistinator "philosophy"

kill yourself delusional blizz fags still defending overwatch and claiming its not dead and that owl isn't failing

Thanks I cooked it myself

Yeah, exactly.
Could you tell me more about the E-sports? I kind of fell off with the game after a while

heavy.com/games/2019/06/blizzard-overwatch-2-fans-angry/

inb4 overwatch 1 goes free to play once overwatch 2 is released

nothing, it's a really good porn game.

IDK why faggots meme about the "shooting" or "multiplayer". the intended experience is obviously about jacking off to cute girls or guys and OW delivers perfectly in that front.

and so much more

I have over 500 hours in OW and have spent every second either masturbating, getting ready to masturbate, or cleaning up after masturbating. that's what the game is for. When I want to play an FPS I play Painkiller, DOOM4, TF2... you know, games with shooter/action gameplay.

do you faggots seriously believe anyone would pay $60 just to play some repetative, slow, horribly-balanced, uninteresting, online-multiplayer only, forced Esports first-person MOBA? no. it exists for porn. Same as Skullgirls

They haven’t added any beautiful Nubian queens yet

Pharah is part Egyptian and Nubians ruled Egypt one time for like 30 minutes, shouldn't she count?

black niggers

the game is so bad but the name caught traction so they are making throwaway overshit games lol

She is half native american, doesn’t count. I’m talking a full blooded gorgeous chocolate woman

im not sjw..

Competitive rather than casual focus. Landing hits in OW is unsatisfying compared to boomer fortress 2. Forcing 6s forces meta to develop faster (if you forced 6s in 5cp, tf2 would be dead as comp is actual shit). Also people just don’t die in overwatch. Healing is insane.

But at least it gives me dva art.

I like how they made this hamster because it was easier to animate and make skins for
