Why did Overwatch fail?

Not when the round is going on but during the queue when the players start entering. Leader will look at your stats before the game starts and decide to kick you or not you fucking mongloid.

Compare it with TF2 going strong for over a decade, TF2 make several times more than Overwatch for sure, and even though we can't see the player count I am certain there is more TF2 players playing right now than Overwatch

They tried too hard to control the experience, and to turn it into exactly what they wanted it to be. Valve ended up doing this with TF2 as well, but only after it had years to build up a community to work around it and do what they wanted anyway. Overwatch has nothing. It's a soulless corporate cash cow for e-sports bux, nothing more. Every other issue with it, balancing fuckups, political agenda, overzealous moderation, stems from their desire to make the game as appealing as possible for esports. It's pure corporatism

It didn't fail.
It made Blizzard a huge profit, and it defiantly still has just as many if not more average players than TF2. Only reason it's slowing down is because it still hasn't gone F2P. Moment it goes F2P it will stick around forever until Blizzard stops updating it or if OW2 replaces it.

can you guys please speaking English when you're playing, I'm sick of the chat being filled with Cyrillic characters and hearing gibberish in the mic

My problem with Overwatch was never Blizzard or the community (not that they aren't problems for various reasons) but the fact that the game itself was just not that interesting or compelling, always felt like it lacked some kind of depth that would make the formula more interesting.

>why yes I am a corporate cuck which estimates product value based on how much profit it makes instead of how good product is

have you tried playing on community servers

if you voted republican you cant complain about corporations

Remember OWL? The league they spent billions on, viewbotted both with paid bots on twitch and blizzdrones with promise of ingame drops? Which despite all dirty tricks barely achieved 200k viewers compared to Dotas international 1.5k+ million viewers?

Now thats a failure of unprecedented scale.

I am not even american, you mutts should really stop bringing politics into everything

dota's ti didnt reach 1 million this year

That seems to be a lot of people's problem with it.
They made a moba-FPS. But it doesn't have the customization and build depth of a MOBA, and it doesn't have the mobility depth of similar FPS. Then pair that up with being able to pick any character whenever you want with no limitation outside of being only able to have one per team, and lack of counter play to healing, CC, and barriers(which also makes it borderline impossible to carry) and you get the shit show that is OW.
Paladins came close to being the perfect moba-FPS but they ruined it by watering down base kits and customization options, and removing most of the hyper-mobility from the game. It's still my preferred FPS atm, but it's a husk of what it once was.

I have around 2.7k hours in Tf2. I have no memories of being annoyed by voice lines so much that I quit the game. I have many such memories with overwatch with like 1/10 of the time played. Can't really explain why but I am glad it's a reportable offense. Since you can't mute voice lines to my knowledge.

Despite intentionally crippling the one thing that kept it alive, it still maintained a playerbase for THREE YEARS.
And that's with them actively making the core game worse for a whole year

Because it's not a fun game

>TF2 going strong for over a decade
user, the only people who still play TF2 are third-worlders, poorfags, and retards who don't know any better. The game went to shit in 2009 and only got worse.

Do you want to actually claim that point or are you going to dance around it by having a sped fit, because actually acknowledging the update that did fuck up tf2 is a direct argument against shit like overwatch

I didn't say anything about Overwatch, you clown.

God what clusterfucks

If you're claiming updates ruined tf2, you'd have to be talking about the Competitive "Balancing" updates, or Matchmaking demonstrably making the game worse.
Saying otherwise is essentially an admission you aren't aware of the status of the full community from back then.

Are vanilla servers a thing?
I played a lot from beta to Medic update, but once they started adding weapons it started to lose me.
I just want to play where there is no cosmetics, and every character is the same loadout, or at least the same 2 loadouts to choose from.

At some point they added the same weapons with different stats, I dont even recognize the game anymore, let alone all the hat stuff.

I just want my tf2 back

basically failed because poor balancing and the mere fact you can get banned for shittalking or spamming emotes.

You're a retard. TF2 wen't to shit LOOOOOOONG before those. Hats were the first sign of trouble, the Mannconomy fucked everything over and put Valve into the position they find themselves today where they can release half-baked shit like CS:GO and Dota 2 and they'll be successes as long as you give people cosmetics they can purchase chances for, and then finally the F2P update killed the game for good because it meant that VAC bans were meaningless and there was zero incentive to actually care about playing the game properly since you can just make a new account.

The F2P update also brought a bunch of fucking third-worlders into the game that shit up the servers and would have otherwise been kept out if the game still cost money.

I heard you can't pick a character and have a [insert character] rush like you can in tf2.

Heavy rushes are great and always big fun for me on payload maps,

I saw a dunkey video where the beta allowed you to do that and I would've bought the game if they didn't remove that option

I like how there are 2 sides of this debate on whether this is canon tf2 history or soldier insane delusions.

Nope, it's 1 of a character per team max. It's really retarded, especially now that roles are required as well. You can't just pick a total meme character and fuck around.

Im a diamond battlemercy that placed 1600 in low silver because my "mercy stats are bad" even though my winrate is high because I got picks and ult charge. Ive gontten to 2300 in 2 days but its impossible to climb now because everyone is trash in gold and Im just standing around watching them fuck up literally everything possible.

I even switched to zen and my dmg and stats are way beyond the average player but I cant win because everyone else is a fuck up.
On top of that my attacks do like 100dmg a second and they have 2 shields with 2,000 hp and they are up every second which completely nullifies my skill level from being a part of the game and I just end up sitting there contributing nothing because that fuckhuge wall of fuck completely stops me from being able to do anything but sit in my chair and wait like And since its a forced role queue, I cant even dps my way back into my higher rank so that I can then go back to healing and have fun.

Instead im just some sort of baby sitter tard wrangler where I just hold LMB on someone and tell them to walk forward but they dont so they die and I just awkwardly walk back to spawn and its completely ruined all "competitive" aspects of the game.

It didn't fail, it's just stale.

Lack of content, balancing around esports, and Blizzard having to focus on multiple IPs.

At least in TF2's timeframe around 3ish years it was still getting content, mostly because Valve had (and still has) no other IPs to produce content for, so they could focus on one game.

no. no you cannot see you can just sit there and do fuck all and stare at endless shield walls or you wait for 10min dps queue but then you have to play as dps and you can never play tank or support if thats what you like to do since rank and even quickplay forces you into a locked role.

You just sit and watch your two dps teammates swing baseball bats at a bird 200feet in the sky FOR TWENTY FUCKING MINUTES.

and on top of that silvers-plats all queue together.

What the fuck, there's dps/tank/support queues? At that point I think I'd rather play an MMO instead, thanks for reminding me that I dodged a bullet.

People have been saying tf2 is dying for 11 years.

I wouldn't know, I reached diamond in season 2 and master in season 3 and never dropped until I quit in season 6 or 7, because that's what happens when you play mostly tank.

I believe you are confusing the concepts of "Rigid" and "Flexible"
Overwatch, while having elements to try to appeal to everyone, is unbelievably rigid and stiff, both by design and by goal.
This is directly contrary to something like say, Garrysmod the core of garrysmod might be incredibly basic, however. The game is flexible, intentionally. It comes with the expectation that people will want to play in different (often directly contrary) ways, and it gives people playing the game the tools to play how they would want.

it was for hldj spam comboing

Jesus fucking christ does Yea Forums have some shit where it'll randomly edit your post after you hit submit?

Only powerful class type is sniper. Healing is too important. In TF2 dedicated healing is a single character, pretty much every other character has some self-heal option and medpacks are in good spots. Only reason medic is important is uber. Maps are too corridor/linear, you are always fighting in a choke so spam and sniper dominate. Simply isn't fun and Blizzard's nannying of the remaining playerbase stifles everything.

>silver through platinum queue together
That's it, Overwatch is officially "fractally badly designed", or in other words no matter where or how deep you look into it it's badly designed

At least part of it is pandering to females and mentally ill males. There's no way that kind of culture and community doesn't rot a game from the inside out.

>Only reason medic is important is uber
uhhh user? are you suffering from a bout of mental retardation?

tank role close thread

It's still fun. I've got close to 1500 hours logged and I still enjoy it

There are 4 survivors to every killer and killer is very popular to play, not the same thing. OW forces 4/12 people per match to be dps so you are comparing 1/5 to 1/3. Overwatch is dead.

Same, but that's mostly because valve was at least smart enough to make the ambassador nerf a weapon attribute and leave ghost stun in which can be used to fix the awful state of the sandman

Also DBD has more strict matchmaking and mechanics that allow players to influence what map will be chosen, which presumably cause some friction

You don't need medics in pub games. The only thing you need medics for in pub games is breaking engie nests.

Sales numbers speak louder than a Yea Forums anons post, man.

i wonder where overwatch will be in 12 years

they'll probably revive it's corpse again like diablo except this time OW was never good so people won't care

The Wii will be remembered for a casual sports waggle game that literally everyone and their grandma played, and for its library's utter lack of quality control even compared to other Nintendo consoles.
Last gen will be remembered as one of worst gens that almost killed the console industry

>that almost killed the console industry
Dont be a hysterical faggot

Post Overmemes playercount then

>65k 24 hour peak
this is actually pretty good

Well, you know what they say, Get Woke Go Broke.

I miss that thread that had TF2 members with domination lines for the OW characters
>Dominated Hiroshima!

It didn't. Considering a rare game becomes a worldwide meme or gets forgotten in one week, it did pretty well.

>Focus on the gameplay of top 1%
>Don't tell the enemy team to suck your dick or you're banned forever
>Here is our new character this month Poochie!

The second they nerfed Roadhog because fags were complaining of not being good and dying to him, the game went to shit.

>Defending the interdimsional hook
The game is ruined, Hog has to have good positioning and team play now

>you could be actioned
actioned?

Game made by faggots for faggots inevitably succumbs to faggot fatigue as they seek other less fagged up games to complain about and start the process anew

Getting to potato SR honestly seems like a lot more fun than trying to reach diamond.

>millions

Try over $1 billion.
