How did they ruin this game so fast

General Discussion

The new changes have totally destroyed any fun in this game, I used to love playing this game but now it’s totally void of any enjoyment at all, I’ve never seen a game go downhill so fast. Such a shame.

If you’re going to complain - at least complain about something specific. Your post is vague and has nothing going for it. You don’t make any attempt of describing which changes you find displeasing, or how they could be improved. There’s nothing to latch on to. What kind of conversation is anyone supposed to start from just that?

Kind of looks like you’re just asking for attention or trying to establish an echo chamber of negativity. If it’s the former, well…here you go.

We have so many threads like this. He could’ve continued one of them.

That’s a fair point and it is a pointless post written quickly and out of anger and everything I dislike has been written about already so no need for me to go into it, I will delete it

I remember beginning to dislike Overwatch after Christmas 2017 because it was then when everything started going wrong. Drastic hero changes were coming out left right and centre, we were still getting old events, not much new lore and barely any comics or animated shorts. Symmetra was when it all went down hill though, hugely preferred her old kit. But we all know that no matter how wrong the team are and how much we plead for the old Overwatch to return, there’s never any going back because they don’t want to admit their mistakes.

By rushing out reworks too fast, without asking our opinions on anything.

Stunwatch, Hackwatch, Oneshotwatch and Disablerwatch.

I find you die way too fast in this game, the pace is slow but the dying is fast.

Even with 6 months of opinions they do the opposite, OWL seems to dictate what is good or bad.

Lets be honest, the game is much worse than it was at the start.

Everyone will have their own perspective about where the game is at, but for me it’s been totally ruined. :yum:

exactly they are to narcissistic to admit their mistakes they think their game is perfection because 1 or 2 grandmasters liked it

What mistakes? You’re approaching it from the wrong angle. They have several indicators they’re doing good. And some of them are: money earned, people online, new players, lootboxes sold, etc. And none of them are players are extremelly happy with the game, players have no negative comments about the game, etc. They don’t care about that.

Like, another recent example … FIFA19, which is utter trash(excuse my french). Everyone hates it. Pro players hate it, streamers hate it, their viewers hate it … pretty much everybody hates it and complains about it(except those on EA’s pay check) … but they all still play everyday and a lot.
When someone from developer teams need to check how the game’s doing - they check earnings(incredible), people online(a lot more than FIFA18), packs sold(a lot more prob because they made regular cards total crap, even fewer decent cards than last year), and they conclude that game is loved, and there’s nothing to improve. Oh, and haters be haters, as well.
So, if you don’t like the game - don’t play. You’re not satisfied with new event? Don’t buy lootboxes, etc. That’s how you can let developers know you’re not happy with changes. Us talking about “how this game is crap” means nothing, we’re just haters in their book, nothing more.

Take Mercy as an example. They rework her (when she wasn’t THAT big of a problem), realise that they’ve just made her extremely powerful, start nerfing her and realise that they’ve gone too far to go back and nerf her into the ground. Now she is seen as pretty awful compared to other healers. What everyone says should happen is for them to say “Actually guys, we were wrong. We’re bringing Mercy back.” I feel like Mercy’s Ultimate wasn’t the biggest problem in the game at the time but that’s just me.

adding brigitte is what ruined it id say

19

It needs to be more RPG and less FPS.

They need to fix Doomfist before anyone I feel but I play on Xbox so maybe he isn’t so effective on PC

Brig put the nail in the coffin for a huge amount of the community i feel. Nobody asked for another low skill hero to add the the already growing list.

I feel like her addition was really unnecessary. Blizzard wanted a cheap and easy way for healers to deal with fast DPS mobility, like Tracer (who I main) and Genji, etc, so they introduce a paladin style tanky healer who just walks forward and holds m1. I mean it’s pretty dull gameplay, which is why everyone is so annoyed at how powerful she was upon launch. Now she’s somewhat bearable I guess and not that much of a nuisance.

I would have really preferred it if Blizz had released Junker Queen instead, and then in addition to the Tracer pulse bomb nerf (400<300), they could have buffed some of the DPS flankers counters, like McCree, Mei, Sombra, etc. Like have Mei freeze those two DPS a lil faster, etc.

I would lose zero sleep if Brigitte was removed tomorrow. But I know she’s here to stay so at least now she seems okay. Balance wise, I do like where the game is going now, things seem a lot more stable.

And no I don’t care that Doomfist is now strong for once, let the criers cry.
