I absolutely love Overwatch it’s an amazing game even with its up’s and down’s its still enjoyable. I really love and believe in this company and their team. I’m doing research on why people hate, dislike, want to stop playing, left this game.
This is not the place to talk bad about the company or anyone in the company I just want to hear:
Just 3 things you dislike about the game and why?
If you only have 1 that’s fine.
Like one of Blizzards missions statements says, “Every voice matters.”
Please it will really help my research.
Thanks for your time!
The thing I dislike the most and it infuriates me to no end is the matchmaking.
I don’t care what rank I’m in as long as the people I’m matched with have the same knowledge of the game as me.
Having, for example, Genji players deflecting Zarya’s or Symmetra’s left click or people using ults when half of your team is dead while the enemy team still has 5 or 6 people up and all of that is happening while you’re at the top ~5% of the playerbase, it discourages you a lot.
There’s also the reverse, people in low ranks being actually good and you wonder how can that guy be so low ranked especially when his profile isn’t fishy.
Huge wait times. These were a problem even before they released 2 2 2. Now dps are waiting longer than a normal game. I queued as dps with two friends we got into a game after 20 minutes. We played with the same tank randomer we had the game before but they were able to play a comp match while we waited. It nice we can chill in custom dm while we wait though but its still crap so much of the community is waiting so long, even as support i am waiting 10 mins. God knows what its like in gm.
How negative the community is. All the time it feels like my team is in civil war with themselves there is such verbal abuse. Everyone is whining and screaming over a game. Constant finger pointing. People dont realise that when people are thinking about how unfair the abuse they just had is or about how its their teammates fault for ‘being crap’ they are not going to be playing as well because their brain is no longer 100% focused on just playing. If you look at the forums and scroll down 99% of everything in general and compet is complaining or people giving their ideas on how to ‘fix the game’. Forums are often torture to browse through because of this. Where is the positivity??? Games are meant to be fun and i am just not seeing anybody having fun or being happy anymore.
Lack of training. Inbuilt training is terrible. You have to play to learn and play to train. A lot of screaming is apparently teammates not playing well but how are they going to learn sat 20 mins waiting for a game and with a tutorial that you learn nothing from. It would be nice if there were a lot of in depth tutorials people can access in game and a much better training ground/grounds. Head size of the robots is just not actual training. But having heroes running around a shooting range for you to shoot at and learn heroes would be so much more beneficial. This would give players something to do while waiting that helps them progress and should reduce negativity in the game and also maybe promote helpfulness, people pointing out certain tutorials or helpful ways to train. Because atm we just dont have it.
People “boosting” others/playing with lower rank friends. Example: a diam playing with a gold. Why do I dislike it? Because the simple presence of a gold or a diam in a game that should be constituted of plat only (well, ideally lol) disrupts entirely the matchmaking for TWO teams. If the diam player could play on a gold/low plat side account it would cause no real problem for me because: the lower rank could learn the game at their pace more easily. They will not be a possibly “weaker” element in the team = teammates happier and player happier cause less risk of being flamed. The MM would be fairer so the game experience should be more enjoyable for everybody. (NB: I know sometimes people don’t deserve their ranks though so I’m speaking about people in a rank they do deserve.)
The queue time for DPS. As a main support playing main tank too I would love to be able to play with my DPS lovers friends without waiting 15mn (because of them only ) to find a game. Also, when I play DPS I hate this queue time making you lose your “flow”/mindset. I’m quite sure it has an impact on DPS performances in a way AND on tank/supports ones too because of people wanting to play but not willing to wait so much so picking these roles by default, not really desirous to play them = players less or too much implicated risking to pass a bad game.
For more than 2 years now I’m waiting for an Orisa Unicorn skin sparkling rainbow glitter when using the Dust emote. WHAT ARE YOU DOING BLIZZARD!! Love your playeeeeeeers!!
You’ve set the bar so low we have to look up to see the bottom.
It’s a company, their bottom line is money. it will always be money.
You thow your love and trust around like its confetti and you will end up being a giant doormat for people and companies alike.
Just lighten up dude, this isn’t reddit its ok…you dont have to act like a drone anymore you can think for yourself.
I am sneaking in a 4 crosshairs… the customisation is so basic. Lack of colours, most people agree thickness 1 is too thin and thickness 2 is too thick. Would be awesome if we could have a lot more customisation with any colour we want example having a orange crosshair with a pink outline. Cant do it with what we have
I left after they nerfed Mercy to the ground, and then i realised Dva, Brigitte and Moira would be next.
So the 3 things i hated the most:
Balance patches that make no sense.
Matchmaking. It’s not only that it wasn’t able to provide fair games but i also found very discouraging when i was placed in a match with 4-6 premades. Anything beyond duo-q should have a separated queue imo.
Lack of replayability. Not enough content/changes to keep the game fresh.
Except people in Hong Kong. For real tho, I just came back to the game after a break for a year, and I mainly left because I felt like the game was just boring. I couldn’t play it for more than an hr or 2 without getting extremely bored
this 100% I hate how I have to play healer or tank if I actually want to play the game I paid for
but its still crap so much of the community is waiting so long, even as support i am waiting 10 mins. God knows what its like in gm.
