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.

Mei and Doomfist are the most ergregious examples of this. For Mei they pretty much took away her only gimmick outside of her ult. She can't stop people like she is supposed to and with all the characters and abilities her ice wall is now either situational or made to annoy the team you're on.

Doomfist just doesn't feel like a tank they mashed the square peg into the circle slot and what we got is a "tank?". I attributed this to just the new team not understanding the game they are designing at all because most of the new characters only a few kind of do what they need to and the rest seem like they were given a random role like for instance Junker Queen she is my prime example of "I am a tank because i have a lot of health"

Winter Wonderland started today. ❄️

It's like trying to celebrate the holiday season after a beloved family member has passed away, a lot of nice things are there but...

I actually miss loot boxes with Winter Wonderland. At least then, you'd never know what you'd get. Actually, it fits the Christmas theme well.

was thinking of playing today but then a thought., "why even bother?". lootboxes, for as shity as they are, atleast encouraged you to play an hour or so every few days to get the chance of getting a skin you want during the holiday seasons.

i dont know what's with blizzard trying to make their games feel like having a second job. they trying so hard to get you hooked into the game, it just makes you not wanting to play in the end. it worked for world of Warcraft but thats beacuse wow was actually fun to play. once.

At least WoW has a sense of progression to encourage people to keep playing due to its design as an MMORPG. In Overwatch 2 I imagine the whole rank system gets boring at some point when you get your next pointless filler award to make sure you don't get the good stuff too fast.

Do they even give any free stuff on Christmas Day, like how you'd get free Loot Boxes in past events?

During seasonal events, loot boxes would get converted in respect to their associated events. Junkenstein's Revenge would have Halloween themed loot boxes with even cosmetics; Winter Wonderland would have Christmas themed loot boxes with its cosmetics, vice versa.

It wasn't perfect, but it gave incentive to play through the events for a CHANCE to get a cool skin or emote. Now they're overpriced and therefore less valuable. I remember I would want to participate in each event for the aesthetic and variety. Now, I barely have the energy to deal with OW2 because something is always broken and void of character.

Apparently some streamer - wanna say Flats - showed off the latest Patch Notes. Dunno how official they are, but whatever.
5043933A-D8B7-4DA8-BCAB-B4373F302BDB.jpeg

In case the picture compresses to be blurry as Fuck

Doomfist
-Punch Cooldown changed from 3s to 4s
-Block needs 100 damage to charge Punch instead of 80
-Temp HP Passive has been tuned down

Orisa
-Terra Surge now goes through Barriers
-Her Primary Fire’s damage falloff starts further out

Ram Boi
-Nemesis Form moves 20% Faster, now gains 225 Armour instead of 150
-Shield Cooldown reduced to 13 seconds. People reeing about shooting shields goes here.

Sojourn
-Primary Fire Spread increased by 28%
-Disrupter no longer Slows
-Slide Cooldown increased to 7s.

Tracer
-Damage Reduced. By like, half a point. With how quickly she shoots, you probably wouldn’t even notice.

Anna
-Healing and Damage from her primary increased by 5
-Grenade Effect lasts 1s Longer

Kiriko
-Invulnerability from her Suzu now lasts 0.85 seconds. This one got cut off by the ad.

I get this feeling the current Devs have no idea what they’re doing, and are just hoping the PvE team doesn’t shit the bed.

Double Posting, but fuck it, more Patch News. Per the Devs, come the January Mid Season Patch, we know at least 2 characters that’re getting changed

-Junker Queen, they haven’t specified but they’re saying the changes will be “spicy”. So they’re either going to do very little, or be absolutely overtuned.

-Roadhog is apparently getting a “soft rework”. Apparently enough fags cried about him being able to yoink and one shot anyone not a Tank, so that’s getting changed. If one shots are the problem, I feel obligated to point out that Widowmaker exists, and does the same from across the map, because god forbid we have Shield to break LoS.

It’s almost like ripping out a Tank from each team has completely fucked the games balance, and the dev team is too incompetent to right the ship. Either they should admit they fucked up and revert to 6v6, or swap another Character Slot to make a Main Tank/Off Tank system.

LCharity Mercy was, what, $15?
Click to expand...
The Pink cancer awareness Mercy skin? It was $15 when it came out for OW1.
OWL skins were $10. Where does Blizzard get off charging $20 for a skin that should be free in loot boxes?
Click to expand...
The regular non time limited OWL skins were originally $5 for one, but something during the first OWL season it became $5 for a home and away team skin and a rando skin. The away skins were given to those who already brought the OWL before the change.
The OWL expansion kept the home and away skins for $5 but got rid of the rando third skin.

The time limited OWL skins were the $10 ones. The the Grey OWL D.Va skin was the most expensive as it required giving iirc 250 bits to each OWL team. But there's was no tracker to help keep track or a warning telling anyone it was on a timer.

OWL is so unnatural and cheap. Nobody wants or cares about it. The only reason it's a thing it's because Blizzfags heavily push it.

I haven't heard anyone talk about it or try to form a team. People play OW casually and that's all it's ever gonna be. How is OW PvE gonna fit into all of this? I'm pretty sure they will half ass/ditch PvE in favor of a stronger push for OWL.

And 20$ for a recolor of a skin with a team logo on it? Fuck off, blizzfags.

So I opened Overwatch to look at something and the main screen was some genderbent lighting god thingy. In the bottom right of the screen was a snowflake and words informing me that the Winter Wonderland event ends in 15 days.

No winter themed music.
No winter scene.
No What's New button announcing items.
No heart.
No soul.
No seasonal fun.

Just one little snowflake.

❄️

I’m legitimately curious just how low OWL’s watch time would be if it wasn’t for them basically bribing people to watch (and by watch I mean have it muted in another tab, which per the Reddit Fags of all people is what they even do).

But, because Blizzard are retarded, they’ve balanced this entire game around the autists in their propped up E-Sport. And that was before the OW2 team threw 6 years of Balance off a fucking cliff by doing down to 5v5. I uninstalled the other day - the fun is mostly gone, especially with how much they fucked matchmaking where every game is a stomp one way or the other.

The Porn of Overwatch will outlive Overwatch.
