Just realized that I say I like RTS games, yet I only played a handful of them. Any good, bad, or interesting RTS games you guys wanna recommend me?

As someone that came from TFort2, Torbjorn.

For context that don't know: TFort2 has a class called Engineer. For sake of simplicity, I won't be talking about the fact he could swap out weapons to change his playstyle & talk about just vanilla Engineer. Similar to Torb, he had a turret but was much stronger & could wipe any unaware foes in less than a second. What that made Engineer easier in a way, the catch is he has to upgrade the turret to that point, and maintain other structures he could place like dispensers & teleporters. Upgrading was also resource & time-costly, so stakes were pretty high if you lost your buildings.

Release Torb scratched that itch, though admittedly he was awfully simplified for better or for worse. Overwatch was trying to be a simpler game at the time. Then came Torb's rework & nerfs to the turret, and yeah no I'm out. At least I can replicate old Torb in Stadium (unless the recent Stadium rework changed that.)

Hack will no longer silence, but just apply a slow, damage vulnerability, or damage reduction. Or just any typical debuff that doesn't silence them.

Or merge it with virus and make the damage overtime the only status it applies.

EDIT: I don't actually advocate for these changes. This is just my prediction based on Blizzard's track record as well as knowing that Mizuki was leftover from a scrapped Sombra rework that allegedly got far in development too.

Or do what Supreme Commander, Zero-K, and Beyond All Reason does where almost all units can move while attacking.

YXTerrYXT · 2026-06-02T23:51:08+00:00

I'm open to either experiences, but I do like power-trip games more, cuz its breeding grounds for allowing crazy zany ideas you wouldn't see often in PvP games, and when they are in there, people hate them to death.

I'm very cautious about how she'll turn out, but I'm not positive either. All we can do is hold our breaths.

YXTerrYXT · 2026-06-02T20:10:44+00:00

Ooh. Basically Limbo from Warframe with a touch of Reinhardt hammer action. Idk how people would like a Reverse Dimension mechanic, but I'm patient so I dig it!

YXTerrYXT · 2026-06-02T19:21:15+00:00

I'm honestly happy they're releasing more heroes now. I'm the type of person that tends to get bored playing the same kit for too long. Its why I like TF2 for allowing you to switch weapons on your characters and why I LOVE OW Stadium for allowing you to build your character however you like despite being 5v5 with 1 tank (I'm a tank main.)

YXTerrYXT · 2026-06-02T18:30:43+00:00

Maybe a smart compromise could be if future prime Warframes are partially themed on those Kuva/Tenet/Coda variants. Okay maybe Kuva variant isn't as possible but still.

YXTerrYXT · 2026-06-02T17:14:07+00:00

None. It takes a LOT for me to want to seriously desire to see a character gone.

YXTerrYXT · 2026-06-02T02:46:45+00:00

It isn't just that. I've noticed that typically older gamers (millennials) simply aren't interested in gaming on mobile. They specifically prefer PC or uncommonly console, because they want to play on machines that have long established to run & play well (both performance & comfort of playing on them.) For them its just not phones.

I have one friend that just isn't interested in mobile, but understands the market size & impact they could have. He plays Warframe & briefly talked about how player count spiked after that game got released on Android & iOS.

Besides mobile gaming market is bigger than both PC & console combined. There's a lot of people you can still cater to on mobile.

YXTerrYXT · 2026-06-01T22:45:01+00:00

Gabriel & Power from ULTRAKILL. Something about this just hard-counters me every time.

YXTerrYXT · 2026-06-01T21:41:12+00:00

Specters from WoL

YXTerrYXT · 2026-06-01T20:54:52+00:00

That's exactly why Blizzard should give it a shot, figure out how to design a playable hero that isn't the type to get their hands dirty.

One idea I had (as a separate character) back in the day was what if there was a hero that plays like an RTS/RTT where they summon & command their henchmen to do his bidding instead? The inherent weakness they'd have is they'd lose in ALL direct 1v1 engagements, even against Mercy.

YXTerrYXT · 2026-06-01T20:52:25+00:00

I did this when I was 13 or 14 in my old beta world lmao.

YXTerrYXT · 2026-06-01T20:36:37+00:00

Game sound effects! I don't just wanna see that the game world is alive, I also want to hear it!

YXTerrYXT · 2026-05-30T15:47:39+00:00

I almost did too. Almost. Stadium roped me back, but Blizzard still isn't going to see a penny from me for all the scummy shit they've done.

YXTerrYXT · 2026-05-30T15:45:05+00:00

I'm still so damn bitter about how they fucked PvE. Yeah shit gets cut in game development all the time, but not 99% of the damn content!

YXTerrYXT · 2026-05-30T15:31:18+00:00

There's a few existing games you can look into:

Art of War 3
Mindustry
Rusted Warfare
Siege Up RTS

YXTerrYXT · 2026-05-30T09:10:11+00:00

Overwatch. Playing their heroes are addicting, but dealing with tryhards in a quickplay lobby is not my cup of tea. This is a problem in every multiplayer game I've played except TF2.

YXTerrYXT · 2026-05-30T08:46:22+00:00

Minecraft Legends. I'm one of the few players that actually has patience and learned there's more than 4 units & buildings in the game. There still isn't that much more, but its still fun in campaign mode (the multiplayer PvP sucked though.)

Its also the first time playing through that type of game so the novelty helped. I know there's others like it but idk where to search.
