Overwatch

[Snake of Diamond]

The industry is full of morons with loud voices so people for some reason defend faceless companies that don't care about them that fling partially created products to them. Even if OW2 is free they shutdown the first game for what is a glorified update to the point where i wanted them to actually charge money for it so people can be more angry because they should.

I don't know if I'm just having bad luck or the game just became imbalanced because there's a greater mix of people who never stopped playing with a smaller pool of newbs or people who quit early on in the game's life. I'd say at least 70% of my games, it's obvious one team is far more familiar with how shit works compared to the other, and the only time a game goes down to the wire; it's because both teams are so fucking incompetent the game eventually calls a winner. But it feels like it's back in 2016 with the amount of do nothing Genji and Hanzos I'm seeing, the Lucio's who won't turn their HP aura on, and an overall meekness in groups who don't want to be aggressive and push, even on a payload mission that needs to move or if someone uses their ult and breaks the enemy line... no one fucking pushes.

A bit late to respond for this but i notice this way more in this game than OW1. Mid OW1 people kind of knew what they were doing and part of this is because the 6th player can pick up the slack if a mouthbreather is on the team. Multiple people hear have pointed this out that the 5v5 only made the game worse because it is not making people who need to play the game play the game instead of hoping the other players pick them up while they sheepishly stay in the background. Push accentuates every problem in the game right now because most people who play this game let's be fair don't have a clue what they are doing and Blizz made a mode where people need to cooperate or at least kill shit otherwise prepare for the constant steamrolls

Don't be stupid.

They're all paid shills, shilling for the highest bidder.

I miss that. It left room for a little more versatility in teams.

IMO the problem with OW was that healers were OP and were able to diss out sustained healing with no downside. This caused tanks to be unstoppable and DPS couldn't keep up.

The hero limit didn't fix anything. The problems were still there. Removing one tank broke it.

Dumbfuck wishful thinking i know but if only. I know the reality is most of gaming is ran by people who sold their integrity years ago or mouthbreathers who can't figure out how to click buttons.

It has been said here too but all of these changes just invited anti fun in the game because Blizz only cares about their forced esports mentality and hope everyone else just lives with it. It is really fun because the scrambling they did to change things weren't good but in OW2 this new team is fucking clueless the changes they made and decisions make no sense. The one that specifically caught my eye before playing the game was taking out Mei for a reason that wasn't her fault specifically. Once again anything the community finds is immediately dealt with faster than actually updating the game with meaningful content.

As players we can't find our own fun in the game.

Stole the above image, and the following synopsis of Ram boy, from Reddit of all places

Spoiler: Ramattra Summary

Ramattra has some abilities that sound broken on paper, but he doesn't seem overwhelmingly strong when you put them all together. He has a snare ability which slows and pulls flying heroes to the ground, a block ability to reduce damage to himself, and a barrier ability which is on a cooldown (not a resource meter). His ultimate sounds scary with the potentially infinite duration but it will probably only be scary on point in overtime, it seems relatively easy to disengage and get away from otherwise (but he does have that snare to help with chasing targets). Although I wonder if his ultimate is designed to outlast a Zen's Trance if Ramattra is still doing damage during the support ultimate.

But he has no mobility, no stun, no eat ability, and his barrier is on a cooldown so I would imagine that a tank like Roadhog that can hook him out of position and pretty easily kill him counters Rama pretty hard. His ultimate is blocked by barrier abilities like Transcendence is which limits its applications. And the snare ability which seems designed to target flying enemies needs to be aimed at the ground...where flying enemies typically are not going to be located - which also means that going for environmental kills over pits does not seem possible.

Tl;Dr - Ram Boi, while apparently busted on paper, is apparently Mid in practice.

He isn't OP idk where people have gotten this he is strong when people play with him as he is a tank. I feel the people who claim he is OP try to 1v1 him or don't know how to pressure him at all.

Ramattra isn’t OP at all, he’s a fairly standard tank and his slowing ability is basically just an altered version of Sojourn’s. His ult is the worst of it but he isn’t anywhere as annoying to deal with as Orisa or Doomfist.

 

[Kier Starmer]

Played him for 10 minutes if that, pretty meh Orisa is still funner and more useful. I think the community is chomping at the bit so much for any kind of positive news. I admit I spent the last of my credits I had and this season pass is even worse than last years.

The same shit again! Theme Greek Gods, where are they all in the store and 2 in battle pass. The skins this time are even fucking worse. Another awful Pharrah skin and a shit Ana skin and a shit tracer skin.

Utter trash

Trust me, I lurk the Reddit for shits and giggles - you have people throating Blizzards boot, saying that putting all the Greek Skins on the BP would be boring. This is the same sub that had a mod deleting anything about Blizzard potentially breaking the law Fallout 76 style (re: fake discounts), so take that fir what you will for the average person there.

Frankly, I’m more amused that some shitheel at Blizzard put RamBoi at the same tier on the BP as the Salt Shaker Weapon Charm. Someone there knows what their doing.

 

[Gravityqueen4life]

do they really expect me to pay money to play a midcore tank? lol. get out of here. DVA and Zarya still break the game.

Take that back. The ana one is cute

I can barely tell what his ult is even doing it seems like a "do more damage while in Nemesis mode" and that is it

Seems like how it was mid and near the first game where people were hyping up every little thing and when it came out it is just at best mediocre.

 

[Airbrushed Van Art]

I like playing Open quick play because no one gives a shit about anything and you can pick whoever you want. It’s a filthy casual paradise.

You suck at sniping? Who cares! Have fun. It’s a blast.

 

[Stab You in the Back]

Literally the only one I would want is the Widow skin, and that skin is locked behind a $20 store purchase. Charity Mercy was, what, $15? OWL skins were $10. Where does Blizzard get off charging $20 for a skin that should be free in loot boxes?

 

[Leaf Wage Slave Jr]

Welp, new map, new Sombra exploit,

Turns out you can throw her Translocator at some sets of stairs and TP to clip underneath the map. From where you can freely move, shoot, and hack enemies, because these devs are that fucking incompetent and don’t know how to put an out of bounds kill barrier into the game.

Did ActiBlizz fire all their QA guys to pay off their lawsuits?

 

[Kier Starmer]

Jesus fucking christ and that is a new map too. That is embarrassing.

Also, the people designing Ram did a shit job because he just feels really off like his moves are so poorly explained along with a badly textured firing arc. Like look at how he fires and it looks like something from the PS1. It's why I did not play with him much because his moves feel clunky and not fluid at all.

Guess they will have to take Sombra out of the game to fix it huh.....

His ult is really reliant on the rest of the team even more so than other characters. It can be made useless real quick.

Considering how it seems every other map has ways for her to abuse her TP to get out of bounds, I’m legitimately surprised they haven’t just reworked her Translocator.

Considering how often Hack’s been tampered with, a full Sombra rework isn’t fully out of the question - I miss her silence lasting longer than 1.5 seconds, but I liked being an annoying little shit to my opponents. Less likely to eat a ban too.

The point of her kit was to be annoying so that makes since considering how she was made to flank and disrupt by hacking a key target and prevent them from doing their needed abilities. It's one of my problems with this new team they wanna make every hero "fair" to fight when that shouldn't be the case considering the game is built on hard countering.

LoL tried doing this where they made every champion "fair to play against". What resulted was every hero felt the same and theyall succeeded in the same things.

The game became very dull and most of the heroes felt useless, except for a few who never got nerfed because they were high prixe/had expensive skins.

I think the Christmas event is coming up on the 13th.

Christmas in Overwatch. No loot boxes.

I am sad in advance.
