Let's talk about Seagull's recent video

For those of you who don’t know who Seagull is, though I am pretty sure most of your know him, Seagull is a full-time Overwatch streamer and a retired pro player. Today, Seagull made a Youtube video about the current state of overwatch Video here. In the video, he discussed some major factors that ruin the experience of playing Overwatch including: Hard-counters issue, the design of the heroes, and few other issues.

Of course everyone will have his or her opinion about the points demonstrated in video, but I think we can all agree that a fundamental change needs to be made to the game. The reason why I mentioned this particular video is that he doesn’t talk about specific heroes (like the Brigitte debate). Instead, he talked about the idea behind the design of the heroes making the game frustrating.

So my suggestion is restricting the PTR server for testing fundamental changes in the game; we often don’t know where the real problem is until we test all our options. Of course my idea may sound like fantasy but I think it’s worth trying because it’s a common interest between the game and the players that Overwatch becomes fun again.

You created this thread earlier, but a discussion has already been started on another thread with the same topic: https://eu.forums.blizzard.com/en/overwatch/t/please-watch-seagulls-video/11465

It would be nice to keep it on a single thread.

When quickplay is such bad state players just move on to competitive and treat it as quickplay, making the competitive experience even worse, first of all we need role queue already and role based sr so alt accounts are not as neccesary anymore, anyway lets not forgot quickplay is mostly 5 dps all the time sometimes 6 if you cant bring yourself to tank or heal, this is why role queue would do quickplay probably more justice then competitive, they could least start testing role queue in quickplay as an aditional queue option.

If a mod could merge those threads that be nice instead of just locking this one.
