Today i have uninstalled the Blizzard app and Overwatch. Not by rage quitting or anything (Im not the person to do such thing) but by annoyance from people in general.
Why did uninstall Overwatch?
Well, i uninstalled it not because of the game it self, i love the games concepts and its one of my most played PC games (And yes, i have 1000+ hours in Gmod), i will list the reasons here.
-
People not being able to tell the direction of sound at all.
Nothing makes me more annoyed when people cant hear something which is directly above them and im always the only one who hears it and ends up not being killed by the person ulting or something, there is no excuse to being so ignorant and not everything in the EU has hearing problems. I have brain damage which affects my hearing greatly yet i can still hear it all… There is no excuses at all. -
The inability to acknowledge that something went past and is going to flank.
The amount of times i have seen a team just stare at a reaper this year alone and ignore them is worrying, its like people dont want to win or something or they cant simply use their brain to go after the flanker and then be 5v6. -
The inability to acknowledge that said person is feeding and/or should switch from doing nothing.
Iv lost a few dozen games this year so far because of people continuously in denial that they are feeding the other team or doing absolutely nothing for the team. Competitive is not for hard practice, you shouldnt go a hero which you know nothing about… And you shouldnt go a hero if a hanzo can get an ultimate off you in less than 30 seconds… Which happens almost half the time… -
The inability to figure out who the biggest threats are.
Iv had about 2 dozen of these games now where people ALWAYS go for the smallest threat first instead of putting pressure on the biggest, then they get ult or own all of my team quickly and the push is over. Its like a broken record, they all do this on repeat and never learn from it. -
People saying im trolling although i seem to be the only one getting kills.
I rarely play DPS in competitive due to carpel tunnel in my wrist but the amount of times i get told im trolling although im the one getting the killing blows and im the one trying to deal with the biggest threat is demoralizing , it just reminds me of how stupid a lot of people in the community can be.
This list could go on but i dont wanna make it too long.
Why did i uninstall the blizzard app?
It removes the temptation to reinstall the game, it also gives ease of mind since the Overwatch community has tainted my view of the game it self and Blizzard.
Blizzard have left it way too long and they need to make the rules for the game much harsher, making report limits harsher is not good enough, people seem to be abusing everything that they have made reportable and nothing is being done about it, i doubt blizzard are acknowledging it since they are too focused on the Top 500 and the community behavior in OWL.
