Overwatch is a prime example of what happens when you focus all the dev time on the competitive scene/esports when the game isn't designed for it clearly and then you wonder why half of your playerbase leaves.

I understand the 2-2-2 shit in comp but enforcing it in qp boggles my fucking mind.

You'll get no sympathy from me dps scum.

I'm not telling people what to pick. I keep my mouth shut cause it is only a game. I just get salty that i can't switch up to adapt to the enemy comp. Also D.va and Hammond are still strong and the only possible way to attack on paris when they have an orisa+bast

The issue is, if DPS is what someone enjoys playing, then they will play DPS. If tank and support aren't fun for someone then there is 0 point in playing. Many people have forgotten this, but games are actually meant to be fun

You can always pick the now permanent square of "quick play classic" under arcade. Surprise, you're not "forced" to play 222 in quick play anymore.

Is this permanent though? I always thought all arcade shit switched out

why the hell do people still talk about this game?

The funny thing is that map is actually being too generous. In Overwatch there are literally pathways to dead-ends and useless rooms for no reason.

this image is perfect, it could be literally any map in the game

So no one wants to play

>lose rates in competitive 100% since the role locks
Game is dead

Echo when

Come on, I know some of you have it installed, we could have fun

I stopped playing this game for more than a year now. The only thing it has is the porn. Its the only thing its good for.

Really nobody plays overwatch huh.
I thought it was a meme but it's sad to see that it's true

chateau deathmatch is still fun, too bad it's literally the only good mode anymore, but it's solid enough to stand alone

sigma's also the first interesting and decently balanced hero they've put out post-launch, who knew a tank with mostly defensive abilities would become a must pick, fucking retards

if they're like me everybody logs in once a week to get their arcade loot boxes and moves on

Yea Forums has said it's been dead since launch
I am beginning to doubt it hmmmmmmm

It’s boring because they removed all the original qualities of overwatch, it went especially downhill when they ran out of creativity and started adding badly designed boring characters that don’t fit the feeling of the game at all

This game is only fun if you don't take it too seriously. Fuck all the MLG esports shit, just play the arcade modes every once and while and forget about it when you have better stuff to play.

This.
Main reason Mystery Heroes is the best mode.

Then instead of waiting 10 minutes you have to wait 20.

Honestly loved playing it for the first five seasons (skipping S1, didn't own it yet). Grinded from literal garbage gold to high diamond, close to masters seasons 3, 4, and 5 as a tracer main d.va flex. I loved it.

And I'm not sure what happened. At some point, I just realized I wasn't having fun anymore. Like, it wasn't stressful or something, I just felt like I was playing out of compulsion. I only wanted to play KOTH and remember actually groaning every fucking time "TRAVELING TO... TEMPLE OF ANUBIS" happened again and when a map finally came on that I wanted to play, 9/10 times people would just start shitting on each other and complaining about comps and hero picks and whatever the fuck. I actually loved working as a team and tryharding, but that game just brought out the worst in everyone.

I mainly quit when finished doomfist came out and now haven't played it at all in a year or so, but fuck I actually miss it sometimes

dps players are braindead unless you play genji tracer sombra and maybe doomfist
t. 4.2k ana main

Have you tried making friends and rolling with a squad of 6? No, I didn't think so because you're a little bitter virgin incel loser.

A big problem is both the community and seemingly Blizz themselves treat QP as a "training mode" for Comp.

I've been telling people forever who still play this garbage game, it was only fun because majority of the characters were broken as fuck when it launched. It was only a matter of time before they would start listening to people crying and try to "balance" it. Then they pushed esports and made retarded changes and that was it.

this game is fun to troll in lol
you don't even have to try to make some sperg scream and cream in voice chat in this game, I literally just go tank and stand behind dps and it makes them fume steam out of their ears

That version of the game wasn't fun either doofus. You just liked it because stomping others is fun but, at its core overwatch is a bunch of slow characters waiting for cooldowns getting oneshot by characters that didn't have cooldowns.

>Play masochist in competitive games and try to make the broken shit or unpopular work
>Used to top 8 T.Hawk in SF4
>Hear JR is trash so take him to GM
>Hear DF is unpopular post-nerf and take him to GM
>GM has the same couple of cliques and their smurfs
>One of them talks on a OW discord with devs and other league competitors
The game died when they let competitive (players) actually influence their design.

It definitely was fun. Did you even play it at launch? Shit was literally crack. My group of friends and I couldn't stop playing it for 2 weeks straight.

>at its core overwatch is a bunch of slow characters waiting for cooldowns getting oneshot by characters that didn't have cooldowns.
Thats why abilities and everything had to do a fuck ton of damage, it was fun.

>>I'm DPS role locked and our tanks refuse to play D.Va or Hammond
You're the problem

You don't remember mccrees 400+ damage fan the hammer? He used to slay tanks. Now he feels like shit to play.

Your still playing a slow character that has to wait for cooldowns.
You're literally playing a worse arena shooter but you probably won't like those games because actual good players play those games.

The fundamental problem is the game's sense of balance. At any given moment during combat, you either have full control over the situation or none at all. No fight ever truly feels back and forth; it's either stomp or get stomped. It's been this way for THREE FUCKING YEARS, and I can guarantee that it will remain this way until the game finally dies. All we can really hope for is a decent PvE installment, but knowing Blizzard's writing staff is actually retarded, I wouldn't expect it.

It's really a shame too because I WANT to like this game. I've poured over 900 hours into it and I can't for the life of me figure out why I continued to do so despite hating a good majority of it.

A worse arena shooter.
That is what the game is at the core. DMing is the most fun but the defs make you do an objective. Abilities are cool but you have to wait for CD. Movement is simple because otherwise the game would be to hard.
