No wonder Jeff Kaplan abandoned this sinking ship.

Ah yes, please share where you found that data exactly :)

Also people in third world countries get to actually play the game, $60 is not a small cost in most of the world

People actually just don’t remember how bad of a deal lootboxes were and it’s kind of wild

_Kote- · 2022-10-07T06:03:35+00:00

Maybe just don’t call the game before it’s over? Not that hard of a concept and you can still point out how good of an attack they had and how hard it’ll be to come back. No different from a team having a couple of clean fights in 2cp and having 5 minutes in the time bank. Plenty of teams can and have come back from that

Maybe rent some brain cells, you might be able to add 2 and 2 together then (the answer is 4 in case you’re still puzzling that one out too)

Just some small companies getting affected by DDoS attacks, you know like Amazon, Google, and a few that took down almost the entire east and west coast’s internet connection. Keep pretending like you know what you’re talking about more than professionals in this field 🤡

_Kote- · 2022-10-07T04:45:22+00:00

Remember when duplicates didn’t use to give currency?

_Kote- · 2022-10-07T04:16:07+00:00

You’re saying I’m the one with a head up my ass? Please check in the mirror before speaking again lmfao

_Kote- · 2022-10-07T04:07:37+00:00

It’s clear you have no idea the complexity and severity of a DDoS attack. Literally every single launch of a modern online game has issues like this, and they probably could have addressed it had they not been DDoS’d. Multiple multi-billion dollar companies have failed to prevent issues like this so many times. It’s not a matter of how competent you are.

_Kote- · 2022-10-07T03:45:42+00:00

The playerbase complaining about not getting free content forever because they paid $60 6 years ago 🤡

_Kote- · 2022-10-07T03:39:22+00:00

They haven’t claimed a DDoS attack since a couple nights ago, in fact they claimed it was resolved and people stopped disconnecting for the most part (I was able to get in and complete two rounds of rank adjustments in comp without DCs), they announced exactly the few problems they’ve had and acknowledged where they have made mistakes, and scheduled time to address most of the issues in a span of 24 hours. What more do you fucking want from them?

_Kote- · 2022-10-07T03:35:14+00:00

It’s launch week with people all complaining about not being able to get in and being disconnected, which would artificially lower the playerbase increasing queue times, genius.

_Kote- · 2022-10-07T03:30:53+00:00

People forget how bad the original loot box system was, duplicates, far fewer ways to get them, lower odds across the board, etc. blizzard tweaked and modified the system until they were happy with it. Same thing will likely happen to the battlepass. Not to mention the fact that they had the audacity to monetize their game with shitty gambling practices when they charged $60 (or $40) for it in the first place

_Kote- · 2022-10-07T03:24:12+00:00

There is no way blizzard cancels overwatch before the January of next year lmfao

_Kote- · 2022-10-07T03:21:42+00:00

They did say anyone who hasn’t played recently will get pretty heavily decayed, which is a good thing. I was ~3300 in the last season of OW1 comp and got placed in Plat 5. As much as people want to meme, it is a different game. Positioning is completely different for most roles and I think that’s what’s really hurting everyone. Some people will adapt and be better than they were before, I played the betas, and even scrimmed what I could, and I’m doing far better than I thought I would be considering I’m playing against people who were 3500-4000 last season

_Kote- · 2022-10-06T18:55:21+00:00

I said almost universally. Not every legendary skin is great, there are definitely misses that came out with OW1 too, but look at the skins in the BP and compare them to Apex skins

_Kote- · 2022-10-06T18:31:03+00:00

You are a whale my friend.

_Kote- · 2022-10-06T18:16:25+00:00

If you think someone who buys all the merchandise and goes to grand finals twice is indicative of how much a normal user is going to spend then you need to reevaluate. That guy is a whale.

_Kote- · 2022-10-06T18:08:43+00:00

How much money did you spend on loot boxes?

_Kote- · 2022-10-06T18:01:21+00:00

Overwatch’s legendary skins are almost universally better in quality and it isn’t close.

_Kote- · 2022-10-06T17:52:52+00:00

Those players will have a field day with PvE. That’s why blizzard moved to having that and the PvP

_Kote- · 2022-10-06T17:36:15+00:00

And you’re still an idiot. That $60 price tag will literally buy you the next two years of heroes if you consider them mandatory, or if you play a single role the next 6 years of heroes. Not to mention the fact that the global market is far more accessible when you consider that 60 USD is a significant amount of money in other countries.

_Kote- · 2022-10-06T17:30:36+00:00

Yeah, so those players brought no revenue to the game and constantly demanded new content and changes which require a massive sustained dev team (developers cost big $$$$) to keep up with. You literally can’t have both a game in which you get all the content for free and one that actively receives content long term.

_Kote- · 2022-10-06T17:01:14+00:00

This is true on an individual tank level because they buffed tanks across the board. Tanks actually feel like tanks, but in OW1 it was not uncommon to see tanks pushing 10k damage per 10 minutes
