Now add in hero bans

now tell me when they remove ults from the game so games don't revolve around uber pushes

dead game

Not touching the game until they restore my body Lucio. Legit the only reason I still played the game post launch and he feels like shit because they couldn't admit they broke the fucking game.

DPS confirmed for literally ruining everything. No more excuses. If you play a DOS role in any game, you’re literally not human and exist to leech off people actually trying to play the game

Yeah, but the change didn't hurt his basic gameplay at all. The nerf to his speed boost actually caused him to lose options since blizzard is shit.

He's just slower overall.

Goats sure was a diverse strat...

>When your game is so stale and boring that you have to drastically fuck the game's meta to forcibly stop the dominant strategies from filling all of competitive play

90% sure they did it because comp meta was refusing to move away from triple tank triple support

sure shows that the game has nothing to offer in the first place

Yes, DPS players are retarded as well

Is role queue also in quick play? I dont care much for autistic competitive play but i also dont enjoy a full DPS team in quickplay

Yup. In the arcade there will also be QuickPlayClassic which allows you to play the old version.

They just should have nerfed shield bitch into the ground and kicked mercy again for good measure.

I wonder why

>multiplayer FPS
Was Overwatch ever one, though? Not that I agree with their decision to add more heroes that require little aim, but still wasn't the game mostly about abilities from the beginning?

So basically. 80% of players in all games ever, without exception?

Everyone wants to play DPS in every game
DPS gets all the glory

Thing is people did play tank and supports before.
90% of the Reinhardt mains jumped ship after they took Rein's animation cancels and let bring keep hers, that made that already infuriating fight even more annoying. All the non-Mercy main support players quit because Blizzard wouldn't reign the bitch in for a year and a half. Zen gets fucked by most of the changes they do and Lucio mains are dying because they gutted everything that made him fun because they refused to acknowledge the fact that Briggitte simply existing in the game was enough to prevent people from running certain comps.

Current Overwatch is objectively better than current TF2.
People actually turn Overwatch on to play a game.
Past TF2 is better than current Overwatch though.

Outside of Medic the entire TF2 lineup is DPS.

i agree he should be completely reversed on that, or maybe even given his huge range back, with forced 2/2/2 he doesnt make 3 tanks powerful now

Blizzard are TRYING to drive their IP into the ground. You fucking idiots need to understand this, they have been told by activision to do this shit because they can make 3 times the cash with 50% of the effort by heading into the mobile industry.

There is no fucking reason at all why a profit orientated company would continue making shit like Overwatch or WoW.

His ults pulls every enemy in the air. A bunker won't save them.

Post bleached edits

If you want to believe on that number you pulled out of your ass go ahead

The nerfed his speed boost and said they gave him ore speed when wall riding and jumping off walls, but he's actually slower. After he was nerfed, Rein goats was gone, but they just built a new comp around Winstion and to no one's surprise: Briggitte, so rather than dealing with her and the problems she was meant to solve, they just forced 2-2-2 and didn't revert any of the shit changes they made to try and get GOATs in line.

All the things they should have done in 2017? Neat.

Not him but overwatch is pretty mongoloid mate. Hardstuck gold league player, got masters without even trying first season I played, maybe they nerfed reaper since then and things are different but comparing it to actual competitive titles is just dumb.

Make the game 12 v 12 and half the problems are fixed.

>when they removed duplicate heroes extremely early after the game's release
Ask me how I know you're just shitposting.

The game is just a shitty tank & supportfest

They are adding a 2-2-2 lock to hard-prevent you from playing without DPS characters, because that has been the meta for 2 years: using only supports & tanks. And you want to know something funny? They are buffing supports & tanks because of this 2-2-2 lock. The most useless characters in the game (DPS) are about to become even more useless, except you will be forced to have 2 of them per team as cannon fodder to get mulched by the ultra-high-damage brainless no-aim tanks getting a billion heals per second pumped into their backs.

By the way, the new tank is a special form of cancer.

- He deals 200 burst damage faster than 13 of the 16 DPS heroes are capable of
- He has higher sustained DPS than 5 of the 16 DPS heroes
- His damage is extremely easy to land, two GIGANTIC projectiles that suck enemies in
- He has two CC abilities, including a 6-man
- He has a 1500HP shield that he can arbitrarily move anywhere he wishes, near-instantly, and recall to him instantly
- He has no footstep noises
- He has an instant cast ability that eats ALL incoming damage, ultimates included, and converts it into shields. He can get +400 HP from this.

Currently he is being played with Zarya & Lucio as a "ultimate deathball" character. He just runs into your entire team, gets zarya shielded, nukes a DPS with 200HP instant damage, uses his damage-eating ability, regains all HP and then some, nukes another person, gets zarya shielded again, rinse repeat

Yea Forums will always be contrarian.

>Role climbing which puts you on your actuall skill level instead of the combined mmr of all your role

>drops fucking mic

that's actually not why they're doing it. They're doing it because the comp meta has been 3 tanks 3 supports for at least a year now and everyone absolutely hates it, but trying to play a DPS just gimps your team. DPSes are completely useless in Overwatch and will be forever because of the way the game is designed. Overwatch has the following as core tenets of its design philosophy:
>No one should be able to kill someone instantly, TTK should be high.
>Dedicated tanks exist and are meant to protect teammates and absorb large amounts of damage.
>Dedicated healers exist, but should not be completely vulnerable and should have some movement abilities and damage dealing potential
These tenets, combined, break the concept of the DPS. Because a DPS is not allowed to do enough damage to instakill another DPS or a healer, they must all have their damage outputs capped at a relatively low level. Having their damage capped there means that they are totally incapable of actually killing dedicated Tanks, because Tanks have massive health pools and barriers and are the focus of constant healing. The fact that Healers have enough damage output to defend themselves and DPSes have low damage means that some Healers do barely less damage than DPSes do, but can also heal, which means that a healer will always provide more effectiveness to the team than a DPS does. All of this combined lead to every match being 3 Tanks 3 Healers. But, as it turns out, most people want to play DPS, so this lead to everyone hating it.
Of course, forcing 2 DPSes on to every team doesn't actually solve the problem. DPS is an inherently useless role in Overwatch, and forcing 2 people per match into it just means 2 people are guaranteed to accomplish fucking nothing.

only faggots play lucio

That's a funny way to spell "DPS"

Yes but there are many ultimates that harm bunker team compositions. You should remember that bunker meta is not literally a "bunker" and therefore an ability that sounds like the antithesis of that word does not actually indicate that he will destroy the meta or even effectively counter it. There are plenty of ultimates that, on paper, work well or even better against bunker comps, such as hanzo ult, junkrat ult, sombra ult, dva ult somewhat to name a few off the top of my head, but these heros have never served as an effective direct response to a bunker comp. This is because overwatch heroes are comprised of more than just their ultimates, as powerful and decisive as those ultimates may be at times. You're welcome to revise your statement provide actual substantial details to support the claim that he can singlehandedly, or even semi efficiently, destroy the specific team composition who's one of many defining traits is the fact that they tend to position behind one heavily guarded spot or corridor.

I'm glad there are still games that balance around the top tier so they don't have to do stupid stuff like ban team compositions to make comp watchable.

Tekken 7 is straight up unbalanced at the low to mid tier of play but becomes extremely balanced at the top.

Overwatch tried to have their cake and eat it too and you just don't win like that.

That isn't a thing though.

You're so fucking wrong about this issue it's kind of bizarre; goats came about because both snipers would randomly oneshot a support or DPS in masters+ instantly deciding a push and the game was literally sniperwatch until borgoota was release and someone had the bright idea of just running 3-3, and the rest is history.

It has nothing to do with his abilities or his fit in the meta. They changed him because people on controllers couldn't control his wall ride efficiently. He will literally never revert back because of this fact.

You're thinking of an older change. This one just affects his movement speed, mostly on the ground and actually makes him harder to effectively control on walls.

Attached: Finger gun composite.png (1920x1920, 1.57M)

This is an officially stated design goal of the Overwatch team and they have made numerous changes to the game based on it. The fact that Hanzo and Widowmaker exist and could, in the absence of the giant energy barriers, kill squishy classes with one headshot does not actually change this. Nor does the fact that, before everyone realized that you could run 3 tanks 3 healers and win every time, people played them and did well.

I see. Well you should really miss the change to his actual mechanics. He feels significantly more glued to shit.

They never even tried, which is idiotic because they probably get at least half of their revenue from skins and shit. If Overwatch had League's business model they would be absolutely making bank instead of hemorrhaging players for two years.

Except widow of course

It is kind of impossible to make a sniper who doesn't oneshot people and it's bizarre to me that, despite saying "no oneshots" is a design goal and gutting Mcree, Hanzo, Roadhog and others as part of this they still let Widow do 300ish damage. Not that it matters when everyone is behind a giant shield at all times and there's a healer who can rez people on command, but still.

the "no oneshots" thing was an outright lie
they were saying that through gritted teeth after being pressured to nerf roadhog because they fucked up and made his hook way too consistent and easy
like they literally introduced doomfist IMMEDIATELY after saying this, and have not mentioned it since

widow oneshotting isnt really the problem with her anyway
its that the oneshot ability isnt treated as an ability, her charge time is instant and she has no downtime on her capability to delete 3/4 of the cast whenever she wants, there are no safe moments when an enemy widow is alive and there are no characters who can challenge her outright in 1v1 and be guaranteed to win or at the very least deny her the ability to kill your teammates

It's been a massive success, they've added triple the number of teams from first year.

You get 10 bans in league and it's the same comps over and over with people throwing fits and dodging if you don't ban Ahri or whoever the FotM brain dead carry is. LCS is the exact same 2 team comps in like 80% of matches, bans change nothing.

That's a game with more than 100 options, in Overwatch masters+ Hanzo and Widow would be banned every match and that's that. Not complaining about it because the game would be far better but still, it doesn't give the game more variety.

>bans change nothing.
You're pretty retarded for saying that. Also using LoL as an example.

Bans (if properly implemented in a proper process, unlike LoL) can turn drafting into a game almost in and of itself. In Dota 2 for example there were people dedicated to drafting and there a science behind it.
This is because when you pick something and when you ban something
it can alter what the enemy picks and bans to react to you.
Combine this with certain players being better/worse with certain heroes, the current strong/weak heroes in the patch, certain synergies between heroes, etc. and you can massively change how a competitive match plays out from the picking stage.
In fact, a lot of matches in Dota 2 were lost at the picking stage because the drafter just wasn't very good.

If you can't comprehend how a properly implemented pick & ban system can greatly enhance competitive play and make matches more interesting then your grasp of game design isn't good at all.

great arguments

prove that it has a thriving competitive scene then

It's because Widowmaker only exists because the "sniper" had to be a thing before anyone actually thought if Overwatch even needed a sniper. Look at Ana and Ashe for a good look at how a sniper in OW should have been handled. Widowmaker adds nothing to the game but cancer.

see

only thing relevant to videogames is how fun they are, he didn't made the game funner, so it doesn't matter

how does that mean it's a thriving competitive scene? it's all controlled completely by blizzard who just want to pump it out and pretend it's the NFL

2-2-2 won't fix shit, you'll still find yourself in situations where all of your teammates are severely outclassed by everyone on the opposing team because Blizzard is retarded and thinks forcing the symptoms of well balanced games (i.e. 50% winrate) is the same as actually having a well balanced game. The only thing that'll change is that you won't be able to potentially save your ass in those situations with a meme comp.

>"bans change nothing."
That's not what I said. I'm not sure if you're illiterate or unable to address my post, I'll give you another shot before I make up my mind.
>Bans (if properly implemented in a proper process, unlike LoL) can turn drafting into a game almost in and of itself.
Feel free to point out a better ban system. As it stands, this is demonstrably untrue in professional play for popular esports. It's the same bans, over and over. Coaches calculate this shit before the season even starts and they rarely deviate from it. In solo Q it turns into either "I have to ban this because it's overpowered and nobody on my team plays it" or "I'm banning X because I main Y and can't play against it".

>If you can't comprehend how a properly implemented pick & ban system can greatly enhance competitive play
You're 5 steps ahead in an argument with an imaginary poster. This is a terrible habit to get into. Read the post, think about it and reply to the post, not to the voice in your head.

Bans is the most retarded idea ever. This game is about switching heroes to change your strategy. By banning certain heroes you can force a comp without counterplay.

Ults are fine, but making them into a resource that charges up passively and by doing shit is retarded.

If they hade designed their ults more similarly to a MOBA it would've been perfectly fine since then they could've been balanced in way more ways and be more interesting than just some big blow your load type shit.

Pictured are examples from Dota 2 that are varied and different because they don't have to be implemented in such a stupid way as in Overwatch.

I don't even follow OWL and I know more than this fucking shill does

Wow, I truly love him! I can't wait for the next meme reel with his speech being edited over! Haha!

>Feel free to point out a better ban system
You talk about illiteracy when I did so in the post you replied to. I also said that LoL is a terrible example to use.
So maybe practice what you preach and read before slamming the keyboard.

You seem to think that because it doesn't work in one game (LoL) it can't work in any game. Yet to fail to understand why it doesn't work in LoL and how it could work in other games. Which once again is telling of how limited your understanding of game design is.
Maybe you should read up a bit more on design, while you're at it. Practice your reading comprehension a bit.

Remember when they basically fucked over EVERYONE in the HotS scene and several faggots were like "We dropped out of college to git gud at HotS coz you promised our organisations the league wasn't being canned next year"?

That shit was fucking hilarious, hope the same thing happens here.

- It does 160 damage if you hit them directly, not 200
- His ability to eat everything is a cone in from of him, he can still get damaged from the side
- his weapon BARELY sucks people in ], it’s so minimal it barely counts
- he’s got no footsteps, but he is the tallest character in the game now, so not like he’s invisible
