Did Blizzard finally fix Overwatch? Was this the fix it needed for rank to finally be enjoyable...

WHAT ABOUT ADDING NEW CONTENT

WHAT ABOUT ACTUAL GAMEPLAY ENHANCEMENTS

WHAT ABOUT ACTUAL UPDATES THAT AREN'T SKINS AND BALANCE CHANGES

WHAT ABOUT ADDING ACTUAL NEW SHIT INSTEAD OF APPLYING BAND-AIDS ON TOP OF BAND-AIDS OVER PROBLEMS THAT SHOULD'VE BEEN SOLVED YEARS AGO

FUCK ESPORTS AND FUCK COMPETITIVE SCENES, LITERALLY STUNTED OVERWATCH'S GROWTH AS A GAME

For high level ranked play it's expected because diamond players are like the top 5% of ow players (I think) so its hard to find an even skilled match.
Now that it's even further segmented into role que's it's going to be even fucking longer because there are less high level support players than there are dps and tanks.

>by forced locking out characters
Im not sure if anyone here will literally remember. but when OW first came out, YOU COULD ONLY CHOOSE 1 CHARACTER per game.

When are they going to add in good maps? Almost every map in that game is terrible.

Remember when it was an unbalanced piece of shit to the point that only third of the pool was useful and OW cucks were crying how difficult it is to balance the game with THAT many heroes?

I distinctly remember going all one character with my friends in the beta and at release. Not sure what you're talking about.

Are you retarded? When Overwatch launched it was just meme teams of 6 winstons every game.

My word

no you could pick literally 6 of the same heroes on one team dumbass

>still no singleplayer overwatch 2
Wake me when

Eh, the only way to balance goats ia take out Brigitta or whatever her name is. And we are back to dive comp or triple DPS now.
Not saying 2-2-2 is better but any meta will stick and people will only play that.

When Overwatch first came out it was actually fun

>things that didn't happened
you could always swap a character mid match, you lying snake
When it was full Torb meme Blizzard told everyone that they don't plan on fixing it since "swapping characters to adapt is the core of Overwatch".

"my bike is broken, please fix it"
"Okay, we fixed it by banning bikes so now everybody needs to only walk"

Blizzard didn't fix anything, they just forced everybody to use something inferior

>overwatch
hahahha
>blizzard
hahahahhahahahahaahahahahah

>tank healer dps
>most people playing boring characters just so they can grind rank faster
cringe at this garbage normie game

More people are playing DPS though. That's why their queue time is higher.

swapping characters to adapt was always a bad choice because of the way ultimate charges work.

They're patching her apparently but it probably won't do enough.

Wow who would have thought trying to force MOBA shit into a different genre would end in failure.

It's actually the opposite, though. The problem is that playing DPS is not viable and the characters that just hold up shields or heal for the whole game are unbeatable.

>overwatch is made by retards
what else is new

Remember when they were absolutely furiously adamant they would NOT do this? Lmao

overwatch would instantly be 10 times better as a game if they made Ult charge carry over when you changed class and they removed all stuns and disables from the the game.

Sometimes part of balancing is admitting that you fucked up. Way back when the game first came out, they realized they had fucked up by not limiting the number of each individual character, now they've realized they fucked up by allowing freeform comps with any number of any class.

>Adding new content
They got your money. If rumors are accurate the sequel development is underway and it's going to be a team vs hoarde game.

Congratulations all those holiday events like Halloween? Beta testing

You've just made a terrible idea. Try working at blizzard, they might even make you a balance man.

>10 times better as a game if they made Ult charge carry over when you changed class and they removed all stuns and disables from the the game
>Get ult as mercy
>Switch to genji and blade
>No stuns or disables so no way to counter ults like that
>Repeat
>As a result the game becomes even worse
Shut the fuck up retard

What's the problem with carrying ults between classes? It would even allow for novel strategies like playing a character that builds ult more quickly and then switching to a character with a strong ult.

I fucking miss being able to make your own maps, I wish games had that more. I don't understand why newer games are so hesitant to add mapping tools and shit. Even Doom 2016 has a bare bones map maker. Playing Valve games with custom maps was great. One TF2 server I played on constantly put out new custom maps for people to test and try out.

I know how to save Overwatch
>Remove Hero limits from teams for more flexibility or creative team composition
>Remove Ultimate Abilities so that games aren’t decided by which team can overwhelm the other first
>Strike weapons with limited ammo that must be be replenished to impose consequences for missed shots and wasted ammo
>Revamp Hero abilities so that they are perform naturally by the player rather than with a button press so the gameplay isn’t centered around cooldown management
>Remove redundant characters that bloat the roster and thus rarely have a place in the meta, preferably down to a single digit number, instead introduce weapons that function differently from a Hero’s default weapon but allows for a play style to be altered
>Impose an entry fee to play Competitive mode to filter throwers and trolls
>Remove Pharah’s jetpack in favor of allowing her to fly through the air as she pleases at the cost of her ammo and health
>Replace Mercy’s resurrection ability with an alternative fire that renders her and one teammate invulnerable for a time
>Allow Torbjorns turret to be upgraded a third time to let it have a more formidable presence in a match
>Increase Tracer’s base speed and allow her to double jump for more creative approaches to battle
>Give Sombra’s melee an insta-kill attack when attacking from behind an enemy, letting her pick important targets off. Replace her SMG with a revolver to simultaneously make her more threatening in one on one combat while also making stealth kills seem more favorable
>Make Junkrat vulnerable to self damage, and grant him more land mines to set up more threatening traps
>Allow players access to tools that can let them create their own servers and custom maps/game modes to expand the community beyond just your official servers

Then that's all the game would be and they would have to nerf ult build up for everyone.
People would just wait until a push and switch to zarya, dva, or doomfist and ult.

Why not just make it so shooting shields charge your ult? Then shields aren't as good

GOATS is already dead, the best team in OWL used 2-2-2.

>Queue up as most demanded slot
>Still play whatever you want
:^)

I get it.

Strong tactics existing isn't a bad thing. Pulling off that theoretical technique would also be more difficult than it appears on paper since you would need to abandon the fight long enough to switch characters in order to do it, and you would need to coordinate with your team to change your composition at just the right time while still having a healer.

What IS inherently bad is stuns in a 1st person game. Stuns will always be a bad mechanic and if other aspects of the game break without stuns as a bandaid, then those aspects of the game should be changed.

>literally turn it into tf2
Also
>Remove Hero limits from teams for more flexibility or creative team
Congrats we now have 6v6 bridgette only.

Literally saw the same pasta but the other way around in tf2 thread

>stuns
A man of taste right here. But how do you feel about blinds and slows?

>Pulling off that theoretical technique would also be more difficult than it appears on paper since you would need to abandon the fight long enough to switch characters in order to do it,
>Be tracer
>Get ult
>Zip back to spawn and switch to doom fist
>Straight up ult or zip back to the fight and ult
Good thing most of the fast characters have near oneshot ults
>you would need to coordinate with your team to change your composition at just the right time while still having a healer.
This is already done and takes more coordination than going back to spawn really quickly
>What IS inherently bad is stuns in a 1st person game
agree and disagree because of how fast overwatch is and how some abilities cant be stopped by shooting.
Plus said stuns are stupidly easy to avoid

Holy shit, they are finally pulling the plug next month? I heard about the devs dropping the support for the game but i wasn't expecting it to die THAT fast.
Gonna reinstall it and play a few matches desu, thatvl game was literally the most fun I've had in a multiplayer FPS in a long-ass time

link?

>forced meta
>"fixed"
I'm so glad I never got into this shit normalfag game, it's the same thing as LoL now

Read the first few suggestions and I was like "this guy is onto something"
Then I read the rest

7/10

>words

you got it though right? like... don't tell me it went over your head...

>Good thing most of the fast characters have near oneshot ults

You're a complete fucking retard. The fast character ults are lucky if they can deal 1/2 of a tank's hp in damage.

brigitte doesn't have enough range to be viable like that
a more realistic composition would be brig brig widow widow hanzo orisa
