Oh lord, I never heard that about Chu but it sounds right. What a moron.
It's because the heroes are intentionally made with a very low skill ceiling - so they all perform within existing parameters and are forced into specific playstyles.
Apparently he has ties to a crazy shipper on Twitter called @cleartogether. If you remember, she's the one who cried about "anti homeless benches" or whatever the fuck and created such a hissy fit devs fucking took the time to changed the model of a useless bench on a map 99.9% of players wouldn't even notice. (I guess it's easier to score woke points by removing a few vertices than actually fixing the problems with your entire game)
And moicy shippers are somehow the horniest and most based
It is utter sacrilege that you compare Left 4 Dead to Overwatch. Take that back.
that would've inevitably happened anyway. OW is basically some smoothbrains going "what if took competitive TF and combine it with LoL heroes for marketing and "content"", after wasting years trying to get project titan going only for bunghole do destiny and eat their lunch. and in notorious blizzard fashion they were huffing their own farts, ignoring what a retarded idea it as in the first place (comp tf failed for a reason, even waifus wouldn't have saved it) and then behaved like they always do and be lazy af with content and balancing that makes less sense than some drugged hobo.
This people need to be bullied more and harder same for the crazy shipper account
But they missed the key ingredient for good/"good" character design: shortstacks. Y'know, since the only lasting thing Overwatch has contributed to the world is a staggering amount SFM porn.
The thing I never understood is that three classes gameplay. Like, why not just make different characters of varying utility instead of three very specific types that are extremely limiting future designs?
Because they wanted to prevent the skill ceiling from getting too high - leaving newer players in the dust. Looking at TF2 there's a huge, nearly insurmountable gap between a "bad player" and a "great player" that will absolutely swing games in basically every single class. OW stripped down the design so having a bad player won't be instantly noticeable and that bad player can still win games.
This is a thing I never understood, OW wanted both to have a low skill ceiling and low complexity to attract newcomers, but also tried to become an esport where people want to see the skill ceiling because that's what's cool about high level players, not shiny attack animations.
Even in high level play - the skill ceiling is stripped out. There aren't a huge number of individual plays available outside of Ultimate usage.
It sounds like the other end of the scale, things are so samey, why even watch?
That gap isnt really unsurmountable, you just need autistic dedication to TF2. By the time you hit 700 hours you're already decent enough to carry most casual lobbies. Compared to TF2 for the little time I played OW2 it really felt like everything was out of my control, and the damage thresholds were nearly random. I know exactly how many rockets it takes to kill a Scout, I never knew how many rockets the egyptian whore needed to shoot someone.
I don't know about that. I can't tell what's going on half the time with the amount of lightshow clutter bullshit the game has. I can tell what's going on in CS:GO, Fortnite, or even TF2.
