Honestly I know there are a lot of people who like this mode and will argue with me about this, but I’m still going to say my thoughts about the mode.
In all honesty, I think the Deathmatch mode is the worst in the game. The only reason being that the game isn’t suited for this kind of mode. I’m not talking about getting kills, the Team Deathmatch mode is fine in my opinion. It’s just that Overwatch is a team-based game and shoving 8 players into a small map where only 8 heroes (The offense catagory) are able to be effective at getting towards the gamemodes win condition doesn’t work in my opinion.
This is why I think instead of Competitive SOLO Deathmatch it should be Competitive TEAM Deathmatch. This is mainly because it is a more fitting gamemode for the Competitive matchmaking in Overwatch as it can work how it is meant too. As a TEAM based Hero shooter where having a good team of heroes rewards you and the rest of your team. The 8 player fight to death just doesn’t work where as 4v4 teams fight for most kills does in a competitive environment.
When the next anniversary arrives, I don’t want a Competitive Deathmatch unless it’s team based.
