I guess they finally did "Nerf this". They nerfed Overwatch completely. A farewell to a game that I used to know until greed completely destroyed it.

You have a point, but no need to strawman counter arguments. Overwatch doesent need to be free to play, but it cant exist under the old box model. 60 dollar one time purchase, no extra purchases available in game. If you want a multiplayer game that frequently receives new content, it needs to be monetized more than once. The question is how. Most gamers have decided that battle passes are better than lootboxes. Multiple countries banned lootboxes because of the outrage. So that's why we're here now. It's not just because big mega corp bad and people defending battle pass shill

In defense of people playing more kiriko and moira, I've heard the argument that since there are fewer tanks and everything hyperoffensive now, that means that most healers need to both be in Line of Sight to heal and also stay out of Line of Sight to avoid the snipers and Sojourn railguns that will end them very quickly. Moira and Kiriko have teleports which allow them both to reach their teammates safely and also to try and bail when things inevitably go south.

@km-js7ws Год назад

@@mightyhendo9828 you said you love to play Tank and Support but in the same stroke you say you don't on OW2 because everything is more offensive now if I understood that right... if you'd be good at OW you wouldn't have these kind of complains, in fact the way your are complaining you sound like a lazy support who gets carried 90% of the time and rein shield spammers, which of course would give you a hard time playing OW2 since you are a bot essentially, I mean the fact you said that the stuns are gone already shows that you have no clue what you are talking about, reins shatter, junkrats trap, meis Ult, anas sleep dart, roadhogs hook, they all count ... so either you never even bothered looking at the kits of the heroes and merely jumped onto the hate bandwagon or you have srsly no reason to be complaining whatsoever since you probably never even touched the game. if you get actually get behind it and aren't some bronze 5 scrub then the 5v5 makes sense and feels way more rewarding as a support because you actively helped with kills/assists and objectives instead of spamming heals like a bot, tbh if you can't 1v1 any close range dps (except sombra because she is a cheap bitch with her hacks) with a bap or lucio, then you don't belong anywhere near silver anyways. if there is ANYTHING to complain about it's the matchmaking and the ranking system in comp, the reason why dps aint peeling is because you get paired with a bunch of bots or quitters in the first place whilst the refill is either slow or never happens like in comp :) .... also yes of course new heroes are OP, how the fuck are you marketing a new character that is mediocre?

@logeyperogi1805 Год назад

My thing with Moira is that I don’t really care that she can teleport, I agree with that, and I also have no problem with Kiriko You’ll find I like each and every support because playing Support, IS NOT EASY But my thing I hate about Moira is that not only does her attack heal her as she deals damage, but it practically locks on to its target, unless you can duck behind a wall between shots (which she can easily teleport behind as well) you’re gonna have a rough time dealing with her I’ve been using Hanzo lately because I’ve been wanting to hone my skills, if I can hit someone with a tiny hit box like Moira’s or Kiriko, with an arrow that takes time to travel a distance and not a bullet that just zips straight to its target, I shouldn’t struggle too much against her when I play heroes like Bastion, Cassidy or Soldier

@@valeoncat13 Then we have games that go the free to play route. Unlike Already Paid Games, Free to Play Service games can potentially earn way more money than paid ones. A good example is Fortnite, Save the World was good but not many people played it because it cost money. When Epic Games experimented with the Battle Royale Genre starting up at the time, The hit a goldmine of popularity and profits. I think Fortnite BR's Monetization is really fair, even if you don't buy V-Bucks stuff like the battle pass give 300 V-bucks every season, give it a few months and Youll earn enough for the battle pass. Fortnite's Influence is a Blessing and a Curse. As other games have tried implementing this Battle Pass system. Games like Fall Guys and Rocket League in my opinion do it just fine in my opinion But then we have games that sort of misused this concept for profit. Our example here. Overwatch 2, It cost 10 dollars as I see most BPs do but this battle pass doesn't give any of the currency back its clear Acti-Blizz is trying to earn more profit by making people pay 10 dollars each time they want the battle pass. Fortnite, the game that sort of invented/Popularized the Battle Pass, gives you more than enough currency (1500 V-bucks) to get Next Season's Battle Pass. But clearly Acti-Blizz isn't as Generous as Epic Games as they don't give shit.

I've heard that the reason for removing things like the end cards and the medals was a sort of toxic prevention. Like they're trying to stop people from using those things to put themselves above the rest of the team and shit on them as bad players or something. But if that's the case, then this new scoreboard of everyone's stats make this 10 times worse. Think about it, it's easier then ever for a toxic player to single out a teammate who is "underperforming" and get on their case about it. now all they have to do is press tab, look at the numbers, and boom. a one-way ticket to 'Uninstall game you trash 1IQ noob' station.

@laurtheonly4980 Год назад

I think this was specifically to prevent people from using the medal as leverage. Like some here so do more damage than others, but if you’re gold medal damage as Moira and everyone on your team is dying over and over that medal means nothing. The numbers at least could show that the team mate is totally fine. Like if the dps are calling no heals and both supports have big numbers or high deaths or both the whole team can see that. Idk if it’s working that way, but I think that’s what they’re going for.

I especially love how the Halloween event (one of my favorite parts of overwatch seasonal stuff) has turned into something that I played twice, felt like I got nothing out of it, and never played it again. I would play those for a fun change of pace to get me new cosmetics (at least the loot boxes gave me a little bit of something and could get them for free), and would still at least let me level up my account.

Even though you didn’t get anything from it, it at least gave you a sense of progression. I also hate the new comp system and not being able to see the points I get after a match.

@VapeZk Год назад

This. What bothers me the most is that I really don't see ANY reason to put that system to rest. Like why? Keep the system and also give people rewards for leveling up. For old players who are about to or have already reached the max level raise the level cap and introduce new interesting looking borders to optain. Ain't that sort of expension of progression something a sequel should thrive to introduce? So sad about this tbh

Because they want the only sense of progression to be from the endlessly-resetting battle pass that you have to pay for.

I maintain that Overwatch's art design has always been bad. It's always been far too cluttered with detail for its own good. Team Fortress 2's art design has gotten worse over time as well, I think. But TF2 started out with perfect art design, then transitioned to "okay" over time. TF2 at its worst is still better than Overwatch at its best. Hell, Overwatch actually had one really great design in Tracer. In OW1 she had just the right balance of detail and negative space, that she felt genuinely iconic. Then in OW2 they stripped away so much that made her design work, broke up her negative space with pointless extra detail, and just made her whole design worse for no good reason.

@ADreamingTraveler Год назад

The devs themselves were actually good people but sadly worked for something as evil as Activision. They actually had to fight them to make characters not be dlc in OW1. That was back in 2016 when Blizzard still had room to argue against Activision's intrusions. Sadly that's gone because Acti is deeply rooted inside Blizzard now

@WarrickRanger Год назад

You're not wrong about it just being Deathmatch. Supports are just Damage characters who could heal, if they wanted to, but time to kill is so quick it's better off to just get kills yourself. Tanks are just Damage characters with high hit points and attacks that deal more damage than actual Damage heroes (guess that's why they're limited to one per team).

@sanguin3 Год назад

I wonder which support character you're referring to that has quicker TTK that it's better to get the kill yourself?

@ni9274 Год назад

Tanks don’t do more damage than dps lol. And healer are extremely important cause without them the tank will die instantly. OW2 gameplay is far better than ow1 gameplay, literally everyone agree on this. Casual need to stop thinking the game should always be for them and not for the people playing competitive.

I recall a review of Overwatch when it was still new. They said "It's a Blizzard game, and Blizzard's known for supporting its products for an extremely long time. So there's no need to worry about them shutting the servers down for a very, very long time." I guess that line didn't age very well.

@Charisma8987 Год назад

When you talk about Objective time, one thing you notice the higher you go up the ranks is that the game isn’t even about the objective itself, it’s about winning the team fight. Yes the game sells itself as a objective based game but you should always be looking to set up your positions and gain adavantages to win the team fight and the objective will follow suit. It’s simply a perspective lacking competitive knowledge above gold rank

@josephjoseph-xh9oj Год назад

yeah its about killing the other team in order to get the objective. Basically an objective based shooter, you shoot, you kill, you get the objective, you win, basically

@jammyman7085 Год назад

Honestly your comment on splatoon 1 severs still be around kinda made me realise how much splatoon 3 as a sequel runs circles around overwatch 2 sequel status. Espcially since both are iteration focused shooter sequels designed to take the core gameplay to it's best state yet. Most noabtably comparing the progression system of splat 3 adds tons of new reasons to keep on playing and engaging with the game adding on to what worked about preivious instalments, compared to overwatch 2 which took away elements of progression such as borders. And it also just the little things as well. Such as splat 3 introducing medals in conjunction with a scoreboard to offer both positive reinforcement and game statistics, the Ui changes that make the game so much easier to read the game state, having a training range to screw around in while waiting for games and I could go on and on. And it does all this all while keeping the same style and personality the series is known for. It really does highlight how limp of a sequel overwatch 2 really is. Who knows mabey the Pve stuff will really bring the experience together but I'm not super hopeful.

@cappy4753 Год назад

I couldn't find a video that summed up my thoughts so perfectly as you have done here. So many support the 5v5 change but as a healer/tank player I also felt that loss in dynamic when working with another tank and how playing support is a game of "can I keep the sole tank alive".

@Firecast_ Год назад

Tanks don’t feel fun anymore. Having one tank means everyone focuses you, supporters die faster, and dps ultimates are way more effective, easily leading to team kills. Instead of removing one of tanks they should have reworked the ones they needed to rework(like Orisa being a brawler and Reinhardt with his two fire strikes), reduce the health of their shields(like rein’s and sigma’s) and give them the crowd control abilities. This would have not only made the tanks fun to play but also make support not an overwhelming role to play And the reworks are great, having less shields is a good change, but doomfist wouldn’t be so bad if there was another tank to protect the team.

@Nile9063 Год назад

Brilliant video! You managed to shine light on every little issue I have with Overwatch 2. I also really am not sold on 5V5, ist just feels chaotic, no interesting synergies anymore, also like between a Rein/Zarya combo or something.

@nokayart612 Год назад

Overwatch 2 felt very void of personality unlike overwatch 1. It’s very evident the second you get to the home screen a few times. On the main home screen, heroes would change out on random so you’re not stuck looking at kiriko for the 100th time or Genji’s new skin. The only slight motivation to be found to keep playing is in the battle pass. Looking at the BP has served me very little for playing long hours of the game.
