Overwatch

Ashe's skin is the only good one from the anniversary tbh. That and Carbon Fiber feet man Sigma. Everyone else is ok.

I like how the anniversary events rehashes older events from Overwatch's lifecycle to get players a chance to play them again. They are split up to avoid splitting the playerbase and variety's sake.

What's your favorite seasonal event from Overwatch?

The Winter Wonderland one was my favorite. Redesigning King's Row to be Christmasy was a highlight. Mei's Snowball Offensive was a great diversion. Reminds me of playing in the snow as a kid. Yeti Hunt was okay.

My favorite is probably Halloween Terror. Most of my favorite skins are from it and Junkenstein's Revenge is always fun, I love the interactions between the heroes.

I love halloween terror. Years later and I still never got witch mercy.

The game modes are fun, the maps are decorated well, and the skins usually are *Chef's Kiss*

I was never good at the PvE events that Overwatch had. I always had to crank the difficulty down.

Retribution I managed to complete on Hard. (The one with Reaper, Moira, Genji, and ... I think Solider 76). I liked that lore missions were playable.

For me its Competitive Capture the Flag which comes out during the Lunar New Year event. I love Capture the Flag, and comp CTF is on a completely different level from Arcade CTF.

Comp Lucioball is also bonkers in a totally fun way (goal tend a plat comp game. its unlike anything else in overwatch).

I've only been able to complete a couple of the PvE events on Legendary. Even with all heroes, that shit is hard.

 

[The Last Stand]

These seasonal events always started with game breaking glitches.

For Mei's Snowball Offensive, particularly with Ecopoint: Antartica, there was a glitch where you could use Mei's wall to go up to the ceiling. That would render you immune to enemy gunfire but they could shoot YOU; that would end matches in draws.

Another one was with Lucioball where you could spawn as any hero but Lucio. I encountered that once; somebody was Reaper.

Today I was reminded that the easiest mode of Junkenstein's Revenge can quickly become difficult if half the team fucks off, leaving a boozed up Torb and a low level Tracer to defend the castle door.

I'm shite at some PvEs but OW's are actually pretty damn hard bruh. The archives event is the hardest one imo- King's Row is the worst one of them all. Idk if it's because of all the OR-15 units at the end or the bastion units, but I cannot play that one with the actual heroes meant for that story. Jfc.

I wish they'd actually use the AI for those characters to beef up the bots for practice matches. I wouldn't feel like my Widow aim would get me somewhere with real people if the bots were better lmao.

Storm Rising on Legendary was the worst for me. Between the heavies, enforcers and snipers you have to be extremely careful with your positioning because they can instantly KO you, and you have barely any time to revive your teammates. Even with a team consisting of Winston, Orisa, Mercy and Symmetra we couldn’t win because of that last section. The tight corners don’t help.

Seriously though, fuck the heavies. I remember coming close a few times but getting screwed over by their charge attacks.

I grew to hate Junkenstein after the second time they released it. It was a fun break of pace from the start but quickly devolved into how many players are actually trying to play it correctly. You either get people who crowd the door which very quickly makes you lose when all the chaos is funneling into one location or you get people who want to try to solo everything, die and ends up snowballing the whole team because they didn't pay attention.

I think I've played this game for over 1k hours now and it's finally broken me. Fuck this game. The devs don't give a shit about it. The balancing is so beyond fucked that they're making a sequel to unfuck their first video game. Shit was supposed to be the next WoW and got BTFO by every other title to come out. They drove away their top influencers by treating them like shit and have the most forced eSports scene in history. They make heroes useless/overpowered at the flip of a switch, but move at a snail's pace to make any meaningful changes that anyone actually gives a shit about. Imagine releasing a flagship AAA title as one of the biggest video gaming companies in the world and barely managing to scrape 18k viewers on Twitch in 4 years. OMEGALUL.

Fuck Overwatch, fuck Jeff Kaplan, and fuck Blizzard.

What's your favorite seasonal event from Overwatch?

Lucioball is the most fun but incredibly rage inducing when you're constantly stacked with shit teams and desperately want the 3-win loot boxes.

Retribution is probably the one I appreciate the most in terms of grinding in order to get rewards; easy on everything but the hardest difficulty and seems to be over with in no time, compared to the boring slogfest that is the Kings Row event.

 

[goma]

I only pop in anymore to play in a night or two's binge, get all the event skins I want in F2P lootboxes or with accumulated Gold, and then peace out for months. If I weren't a sucker for FOMO and stupid cosmetics, I would have dropped the game years ago. It can be fun still, but I highly agree with @guffrey_. OW for years has been fun in the "fuck around while drunk, win a cool cosmetic maybe" sense, but not at all in the "actually try to play the game" way. I hardly think OW worked as a game you could play seriously and be evaluated+rewarded in fairly even in its first year of launch.

Playing Ashe like a hitscan Junkrat is the most fun I've had in this game for awhile, and I get unreasonably angry when people select Ashe and play her like a Widow.

Game suck. Get bored quick. Roll queue ruined my ability to spontaneously say "haha fuck you im bored of playing tank" which was an important way to not get bored

Competitive recently got split into 2-2-2 role queue and non-role queue, so that's technically back. Still can't be asked to play the game though.

In my opinion, a game should be a game first before establishing it as an eSport. Let the community decide.
