Just me complaining about shit because I get mad at the state of Overwatch

General Discussion
1

Note: I was a Genji and Ashe main while I was making this. I have over a thousand hours in the PC and PS4 versions.

Overwatch has gotten to a point where I can’t seem to play the game anymore without feeling like I have made a mistake in buying the game, And ever since Brigette and Doomfist were added, the game has been one hell of a game not to get infuriated with it.

Reasons:

#1: They made a counter to dive comp when there was already a counter by adding Brigette and Doomfist.

#2: The design of Brigette is seriously broken. Either make it so she throws armor and health but she can’t heal passively, or make it so she only heals when ulting. She is more of a dps than a support.

#3: I believe that whoever designed Brigette either needs to be taught how to make a hero who doesn’t wreck the fun meta back in early 2017.

#4: any time I pick heroes who are fun (Ashe, Genji, Tracer, etc.) I get yelled at for either not being good or them not being in the meta. This game used to be about who could win a fight rather than the counterpicking meta we’re in right now.

#5: I just think this game needs to go back to the way it was back in early 2017
when the game was still new and actually fun to play. This game was ruined when DF and Brig were added. Either re-work them where they aren’t broken as all hell, or make a counter to them in the future.

#6: ^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^

Now OW team, I understand you can make good hero designs and concepts, but if the next hero is anything like Brigette <— (Absolutely broken and not even close to fun to fight) or Doomfist <------- (The bane of my ****ing existence), I’m never touching this game ever again.

Thanks for reading - Cyber

Edit: Most of what I said was me just getting off of an anger high and most of it is indeed some garbage I said to blow off steam. Sorry I was going absolutely insane on the forums where I can make myself look like an ass.

you just want to make genji meta again tard.

Whats the problem with Brig? Just go range like Phara or Widow and kill her?
And most important is the attack Brig as team and split her from teammates and you easy win.

What do you mean? Brig has a passive:
" When Brigitte strikes an enemy with her flail, all allies within range are healed over time."

How can you be an ashe main? She isnt even available in CP, seems like you added a high aim hero to deflect the hate you would receive for saying Genji alone.

Unless you only play QP… Which just lol, balance will never be based on QP.

This thread could be summed up into:

I play Genji and I don’t like Brigg and Doomfist. I’m quitting.

Fixed it for you.
And to get to 20 characters: people who can’t flex have no right to complain about “oppressive comps”. Just pick up Pharah instead and you counter Brig and Doom yourself.

Dive had counters ? i guess thats why it ran rampant for 1 and half year :thinking:

its almost like they want dive back because only certain heroes they consider “fun” are in the comp :thinking: :thinking::thinking::thinking::thinking:

So you are basically saying that you want:1)Doomfist and Brig to be nerfed to hell or removed because they counter fast moving heroes like genji and tracer(for doomfist im not a 100% sure but you get the point)
2)You want dive back because reasons??.Oh wait,i now remembered that genji and tracer where in dive
3)You cant understand that you can SWITCH heroes in the spawn or when you die
4)Instead of adding more content to the game(Im talking about Blizz here),they are forced to either overbuff or overnerf a hero just because ppl like you refuse to play other heroes and adapt

However you did make a good point when you said that instead of nerfing certain heroes Blizz should add counters to them(like Ashe counters Brig now)

I don’t find them fun. That just your opinion.
Genji and Tracer are broken for far to long. Way more then Mercy “moth meta” or Brig.

So, yeah, don’t forget to close the door behind you.

12

So you’re basically just venting, not quitting :grin:

We all feel your frustrations my man. We love this game and it’s hard to see it go through these challenging times, but I have a feeling everything will be okay in the end.

Blizzard seem to have realized the mistake they made, releasing Brig so overtuned. But then again, they wanted to change up dive meta, and in that respect, they definitely did.

I’m glad she’s been changed to be more heal centric rather than the front line head basher.

Why can’t these people just go quietly?

It’s because they love the game. The gamers who visit games forums are already more passionate than your casual gamer. just us being around here shows how much we like this game and want to be around others who also enjoy it. So when one quits, it’s like they have to let their frustrations out in the hope that others might listen and something might be done about it.

It was more of a vent, yes. I changed the title of the thread to better suit the subject and I can understand why most of you think of me in a negative manner, I would like to consider myself not necessarily a one-trick by any means, but I now that I look at it there are people who make statements like this, and I guess that mine got some backlash which is understandable. But I do regret most of that because I was just getting off an anger high so I blew off steam on the forums which is why most of what I said is just “Genji one trick so bad lmfao xdddd”. Mainly speaking, I feel kinda bad for the people who have to listen to me whine and complain but then again, this is the OW community we’re talking about lmao

I get it, I totally get it. I was being facetious and I wasn’t in the best frame of mind last night, I’m much nicer today so please accept my humble apologies for snarking. It was uncalled for. :+1:t3:

Everything is better in the morning!! :kissing_heart:

Also, I have a lot to moan about in this game too and I do so I was being hypocritical last night and just feeling off as something had happened prior and you got the brunt of it :joy:

Playing Ana during dive was really a pain, and if went from Ana main to dive main to flex tank main to flex tank support dps to Brigitte one trick, call me biased but even if i did not one trick Brigitte i would be against nerfing her, as Ana is finally playable, before she was victim of meta and believed to be weak just cos of the meta she was not buffed, it was only after dive died down that became obvious that Ana was not as strong as she used to be thus buffed, but she would still fall over if dive returned no change there, her weaknesses are not addressed at all, she is a little more forgiving to play now if you are good, with her but nowhere near as good as Mercy / Moira for example in dive, outside dive tho Ana is in very good spot, anyway thats why i am against nerfing Brigitte cos dive will surely destroy Ana, Brigitte can single handely stop that, i wish they never nerfed Roadhog, heck they should buff other anti dive heroes before taking a look at Brigitte honestly.

Brigitte is clearly the only hero that works well against dive, instead of taking that away they should look at why other anti dive heroes aren’t on similar level.

Anyway if dive would return now like before, Mercy be played the most again and this time not because she is strong but because her kit just makes her very good in dive without getting punished as much as Ana/Moira.
