Dear Blizzard,
I would like to start this topic by saying this is my personal opinion. I’ve played every competitive season and I have experienced all the “meta’s”, solo queuing, duo queueing, 5-6 stacking, etc. The game is experiencing several problems, which are all being discussed in other topics. Now, my biggest concern is; how can Overwatch still be categorised as FPS (FIRST PERSON SHOOTER)?
The game is in current development with new maps and new heroes. The main thoughts are to provide the player base with new content, changing the meta with other heroes, trying to counter everything. However, many “new” heroes have been released with CC (CROWD CONTROL) and stun abilities. These abilities seriously hurt the FPS element of a shooter game. If you are constantly being stunlocked, thrown up from the ground with your aim going to crap and just rolling in and out of fights, that just doesn’t work in an FPS environment.
I have always loved the gameplay of Overwatch with several objectives and team play to counter and overthrow your opponent. Though, these hero developments are just not fun anymore. I agree that toxic communities, insta locking heroes, smurfs and all those problems hurt the game and the way it is experienced, however, I feel that all the environmental impact abilities hurt the game so much, that it takes away the basic element of the game, which should be FIRST PERSON SHOOTER. I have uninstalled Overwatch twice the last 2 competitive seasons and I never even considered doing this anytime before.
Looking forward to replies from our community and from Blizz.
