When did this game get so bad

General Discussion

I must have had close to maybe 5000-10000 hours played on this game, it was my go to game that I would play for hours on a daily basis but I quit day 1 of OW2 coming out as it just felt bad, like way worse than OW1 6v6 but then I came back after maybe 5 months when WOTLK turned to Cata and Cata has 0 appeal.
I enjoyed it at first but then it slowly took its toll, so I quit again. Marvel rivals came out and I completely moved over to that with over 4 months, having almost 500 hours into Marvel and 0 into Overwatch.

Yesterday I decided to install and try Overwatch again, after a 4-5 month gap, there was no new characters, no new maps, I go Ana as my main and I think I shot at Hazard tank about 15 times doing absolutely 0 damage.

My heals were almost 100% accurate and I was constantly shooting however I still couldn’t keep people alive due to them being one shot and after shooting Hazard about 15 times doing nothing to him, he looks at my direction, jumps on me and I die without being able to do anything about him, yes I slept him, yes I naded him, I ran out of buttons to press and I just thought “What in the actual crap, is this game about” Where it is so unbalanced.

In Marvel my main is Mantis and with good aim, hitting all headshots I can occasionally 2v1 2x Tanks, say Penni Parker and a Venom, so I am rewarded with playing well and feel good about the playstyle.
In Overwatch I just might as well put the keyboard down, anyway safe to say I didn’t even finish the match, I moaned in game about why the game is so bad, quit game and uninstalled.

I’m just so deflated as something I genuinely once loved, I had about 10 funko pop OW chars, I had the gaming light, the mouse pad, a hoodie and now I can’t even finish one Quickplay game because of how absolutely awful the game feels.

Anyway pointless post, just really sad to see something I cared so much about be absolutely dead to me now and it was all their own doing.

From GOTY 2016, to the lowest ever rated game on steam in 2022

I think some people mistake being burnt out and “over” a game for the game being “bad”.

The quality of the game hasn’t really changed in years. They’ve not really added or taken away anything that would have a significant impact on that.

However. If you play something for as long as you have, you can just become jaded with it, or your tastes change and you grow out of it.

A paid to be nominated award vs internet trolls… yeah, I wouldn’t take either that seriously. Reality, it probably in the middle. A totally fine game that is some times really fun.

Got bad since OW2 was introduced.

Legit question… how would you know. You don’t play the game.

Unless you’ve got other accounts and the attacks on others for having more accounts was just faux rage… then, fair enough.

Because I have played the game? And is the reason why I don’t care for it anymore? Kind of obvious.

Your presence here would suggest you do care. You “have” played the game… you gave this season about 46 minutes.

If you don’t play something, coming to the forum for that game you don’t play to tell others the game they do play is “bad” is just odd behaviour.

lol? Not at all. Not the brightest spark are ya champ. I “cared” about the game before they ruined it.

Get a clue. x

So if you don’t care… You’re just coming to a forum for a game you don’t play, don’t care about to tell people who do play it and do care about it that you think it’s bad.

That is just weird. I’d suggest finding a hobby.

The irony lmao. Not the weird one here buddy. I’d suggest you do the same.

At least I play the game and care about the game. Hence having something to talk about.

The only reason for you to be here is because you can’t stay away from someone.

Still here? I guess you don’t have anything else to be doing on a Saturday night.

Grab a beer and come play some Normalwatch. Need to win a couple more games.
