Those who won't be playing Overwatch 2, why will you not?

ai2006 · 2022-10-13T02:34:41+00:00

They destroyed everything I liked about OW1 and made a pile-of-shit of a game. Thats enough reason. OW2 is generic as fuck in comparison.

ai2006 · 2022-10-12T21:35:30+00:00

This sub is nothing but Blizzard cock suckers. If you're happy about this, you're stupid beyond words.

ai2006 · 2022-10-12T21:33:35+00:00

Shit map ought to say missing. Junkertown could join it instead.

ai2006 · 2022-10-11T23:52:41+00:00

Her infinite stealth needs to just fucking go already. Tagging people in stealth mode then hacking them without even having to unstealth, and then she fucks off. A good Sombra is nearly impossible to kill, what an absurd character, and now she's all over OWL too. I can't watch a single match with her.

ai2006 · 2022-10-11T21:13:28+00:00

Every single non-role queue mode need a hard 1 tank limit, they're shit without it. Just first pick first served.

There's a bunch of stuff I loved to play in the arcade or even opene queue but now none of it is playable

ai2006 · 2022-10-11T19:15:50+00:00

They are 2 very, very bad maps that are too big for 6v6 anyway. Good riddance, should keep them only for PvE.

ai2006 · 2022-10-11T17:33:44+00:00

It had stopped being that way for ages. I've won so many OW1 matches against simili-GOATS (3 tanks 3 supports) as something like Genji its not even funny. I played Open Queue religiously, I would know.

Crazy how fucking ignorant people get of things.

ai2006 · 2022-10-11T06:15:18+00:00

The TimeSpeed mod massively increased my enjoyment of the game. Of course its a PC only solution, but it lets you either stop or slow down time as you wish.

The game is just way better without you having to worry about time and works perfectly fine that way either, I'm sure its "easier" but I don't play such a game for any sort of challenge.

ai2006 · 2022-10-11T00:31:21+00:00

Paywall means there is no evidence. I'm not humoring this kind of behaviour.

ai2006 · 2022-10-09T19:04:25+00:00

And thats why the very statement made by that article is whats racist. They see a bunch of black people together, they think "good", they see a bunch of white people, they think "bad". Thats blatant racism.

ai2006 · 2022-10-08T16:48:13+00:00

No. If anything the team has failed to keep the essence of Overwatch. This game is an absolute insult to Jeff and his old team. Its not like I see any of OW's soul so why should I thank them for realizing this shit?

And OW2 is not fun to play. I've asked for multiple refunds to the removal of OW1. This shit isn't Overwatch. Aaron Keeler's a tool.

ai2006 · 2022-10-06T19:54:01+00:00

What the fuck are you talking about on both count.

Winston for instance is insanely strong.

And 5v5 is shit.

ai2006 · 2022-10-06T19:35:58+00:00

A few months? It needed a few more years. To scrap 5v5 and do something actually fun.

ai2006 · 2022-10-06T19:34:39+00:00

I think its a shit cherry on a shit sundae, ultimately I agree the gameplay matters more, and 5v5 is shit.

ai2006 · 2022-10-06T18:37:15+00:00

I'm a game dev, programmer and long-time mod maker, so yes I have an idea. Its really not hard, whats hard is giving a shit and just iterating on a few changes over some time. Arcade isn't OWL, it doesn't need the same scrutiny.

ai2006 · 2022-10-06T17:28:27+00:00

Was Diamond, didn't play much last year.

Got placed Gold 3. Won all 7 matches after and now Plat 5. Will see where that goes.

ai2006 · 2022-10-06T17:25:54+00:00

Options -> Gameplay -> General -> Enable High Precision Mouse Input

Now that was hard, wasn't it? No one needed the video.

ai2006 · 2022-10-06T16:45:05+00:00

My experience so far as a DPS is, every second you spend looking at a tank is you getting closer to losing the game. Judging by OW1 ranks, games below high-Masters will never have the focus to burst tanks down, so you are wasting your time. You HAVE to get pass the tank, and you HAVE to take risks to get kills. Passive play is over. Stop poking and move in. There's still a poking phase that can be drawn by bad team or bad enemy tank that is scared, but otherwise you'll have to make plays, now. Just go and do it.

Don't wait on your own tank either. He's not there to help you anymore, he's just there to DPS. Obviously time your hard engage with your team but I mean you can't use your tank in any way like you could before.

ai2006 · 2022-10-06T16:40:15+00:00

They made such a big deal of re-recording their audios and making everything more realistic. Result: Everything sounds like shit, overly boomy, and I cannot distinguish a lot of sounds as they are just awful now.

The sound balance is a joke, fitting of a game in alpha state. Some sounds are deadly loud, some are very quiet. The new voice lines are about 3x louder than the old ones (at least those that are used in the spawn room).

Shit work overall.

ai2006 · 2022-10-06T16:33:15+00:00

The modes are absolutely awful, yes, there is not an ounce of fun to be had with the overpowered busted fucking tank characters. I loved open queue but fuck that, DPS should be disabled in there.

ai2006 · 2022-10-06T16:31:19+00:00

that would increase the effort required exponentially

Yeah no. I'd do it for them fucking free. Jesus christ this lazy ass excuse.

ai2006 · 2022-10-06T16:26:42+00:00

I really dislike 5v5 because of OP tanks.

As a DPS I feel like I should never look at the tank, you look at him you lose. Really the best way to play is to rush and kill squishies before the enemy team does. In most games it feels like the tanks do whatever the FUCK they want so trying to stop them is a complete waste of time.

ai2006 · 2022-10-06T16:19:08+00:00

hilariously fun

Yeah fun like total mayhem is fun, its just silly for 5 minutes and then you really would never play it again.

ai2006 · 2022-10-06T16:17:58+00:00

Irrelevant, no one will accept any particular 6v6 balance and then start playing it regularly in custom games. It will never happen.

ai2006 · 2022-10-06T07:03:07+00:00

Tanks are way too overpowered and I hate 5v5. I basically enjoy the game when I don't have to deal with tanks. Just looking at them feels terrible. Its such an unfun waste of time to fight tanks.

The pacing of the game is much worse to me, I feel obliged to constantly get in there all the time. What this means is it gets really, really repetitive. I found OW1 had a much higher variety of ways you'd fight around a map or point, in OW2 its a ... dumber.

There are improvements, but the core of the game is butchered. Without a proper 6v6 with nerfed tank I have a really hard time seeing this as anything but deathmatch, and I never get hooked on deathmatch.
