that's not how you make these threads OP

Yeah

Overwatch died one of the most violent deaths in modern gaming. Playerbase dwindled, pro scenen ever took off, people don't care about watching it either - even Rainbow Six Siege has more twitch viewers.

It's dead as fuck and anyone that tells you otherwise is there only because of sunk-cost fallacy.

I find myself coming back to it less and less frequently and balance seems to get worse with each patch.

It's dead to me atleast because I got fed up with Blizzard's retarded balancing and the shit community.

hopefully

It's alive and well with normies. Remember how long it took for TF2 to die? Blizzard can increase the game's lifespan by adding more normieshit like pub lobbies, achievement maps, new gamemodes easily

I play Paladins, don't really give a shit about OW

>the shit community.
Community made up of crybabies that need to be constantly coddled and protected from online "bullying" turns out to be shit. What a surprise.

It will never die.

As long as the porn gif and vids keep coming no.

It's the type of game that gets less fun the better you get at it of course it'll die.

I got burnt out on it in less than a week. The entire game revolves around close quarters gun play. This can be fun in doses but you can't have an entire game like that.

this

the game has over 30 million concurrent players at anytime battleborn shills

Absolutely, yes

this is so fucking true

???

Compared to the first 6 months? Yes, it's bleeding players so quickly hence why Blizzard never release more indepth statistics about number of people playing

I personally got tired of the constant rubber banding on balancing and how repetitive the game is. New maps are supposed to stop that but all the new maps are shit along with the new heroes

I fucking hope so

That's why they made the medal system instead of an actual scoreboard, so shitters can feel good about themselves and not get bullied by others.

Also the fact that characters like Mercy exist who can be played effectively even by brainlets and is so good that not having one on your team is just asking to lose.

who cares? PUBG is the new trend

>Mercy
actually, ever since the new update, all the "mercy main btw" fags got exposed for being carried.

There are no battleborn shills because that game never had any playerbase. Overwatch on the other hand was madly popular in it's first months and sold 30M copies and now no one plays it, no one watches it and esport never took off.

hello chinese bot

>esports never took off
I can agree with this

>no one plays it
>no one watches it
That's a pretty big statement

False.
It has 30 million total accounts that have played it at least once. They have never released statistics on active players.

based fucking lirik

>play competitive
>Every match is people bitching constantly at each other and someone always gets reported for being "bad" at the game

explain?

Yeah, Blizzard is slowly killing it with all these shitty reworks and retarded balance changes.

They've already ruined 2/3 of my favorite heroes.

It has all the pros and cons of TF2: it's ridiculously fun and accessible, but after a while, playing with randoms becomes more infuriating than fun. If you have friends to regularly team up with, it's great. Otherwise, it gets a bit repetitive.

Well, they've always had free weekends for as long as I can remember.

The price drop is justifiably. The game is over a year old, and although it gets frequent updates, charging full price for an aging game is bollocks.

cite your sources please
pretty sure they dont release any of that info

It's been dead for months, kid

All of my friends bought it on release, we always had 6 man group and still got bored faster than expected. We played about 300 hours and stopped playing in November. We never really came back. Before that all of us played csgo for like 2 years straight. They all now play pubg and I'm too jaded to buy it.

>30 million people
>out of the 7.4-8.0 billion living today
>1 in every 250 people
>Are all playing overwatch at the same time

W E W

>One single sale in it's entire year and a half life span for one single week
>LOL THE GAME IS DYING!

>Make the least fun to watch game ever
>Push it as an esport

>hate neo-blizzard and activision
>haven't bought anything from them since wotlk
>downloaded tons of overwatch lewds
i have lost nothing and gained so much

That is debatable that nobody watches it. There's about 20,000 people on Twitch watching it right now. It's also debatable though that the game sold 30 million, it definitely did good but 30 million registered users could just mean a few million that bought the game and a few million that played the free trial. We also dont have something like the amount of users playing at the moment, something that fucking Halo 3 proudly boasted on the 360.

I really hope the industry rebels against Blizzard after the clear jew tricks they used to sell Overwatch. Lawbreakers and Battleborn suffered heavily from Blizzard's hivemind tactics.

>Encouraging more smurfing.
Fucking hell

That would be Hearthstone.

>Let's take Magic the Gathering
>Remove Instants and Activated Abilities
>Add more RNG elements on top of card draw luck
>And add in Blizzard's top-notch balancing

Nice client, though.

>one single sale
lol, no

I played it once on a free weekend, as did several of my friends, we are counted in that metric despite never playing it since

it's easy to learn and pro league of legends reddit gamers loves it for being easy
i mean did you see that hitbox ?

This.

I made use of it being free this weekend and after two matches of learning how the game works, two more to get to know a few characters I already became bored with it. It was fun for some reason but the charm wears off really quickly.

>I don't eat shit, I just eat shit
lmao

Proof or GTFO.

It's being crushed by it's meta

Only fighting games can sustain such over analysis of the meta

>at least 1.2 billion dollars from game sales alone


really gets my noggin joggin blizzard

They included all free to play accounts from beta and other such periods, even those who made multiple free accounts. If anything the sales are maybe half that.

Got a source on that?

>tf2
>die

you know how is this you need unsourced charts, graphs of doubtful origin and numbers that mean nothing

Literally everything about their '30million players', mentions registered accounts, its a google away. They have not once cited active players, or monthly players, or concurrent.

So according to you retards Blizzard isn't allowed to do sales anymore.

Well its over a year old. Blizzard more than got their moneys worth out of it. It amazingly, somehow requires as much if not, at times, MORE teamwork than a game like LoL, which seems like the opposite of what they were shooting for. A lot of people have given up on it because of that.

Ok so cite the sources for your numbers?

You'd have to pay me to play that shit

>paladin
>talking shit about other game's hitbox
Hilarious.

I wish

The 30million registered accounts? Does that need sourcing when its literally everywhere through blizzard marketing?

I said the sales are maybe half that, I never claimed it as fact. The game still is worth a billion with micro-transactions according to blizzard themselves, so who cares about game-sales anyway.

I hope.

But dude Nu Sup Forums tried to tell me the future was multiplayer, single player games do not matter and multiplayer will last forever they even used Overwatch as an example.

Every game is dying according to Sup Forums.

I think it's leveling out. How many people have it? They're trying to entice the poorfags now

So Blizzard has a number and you don't. Sorry, I'll believe Blizzard.

Try pubg. It's fun

>play comp for points
>season nears the end
>play badly on purpose without alluding to it, destroying everyone's ranking
>lavish in the tears

i hope, so i can stop playing it

1000~ hours in already

Blizzard never said sales, and you'll be damned lucky to find a stat on their actual sales. So go right ahead friendo.

You don't need play game to enjoy porn. Surely you wont fap during match. R-right?

Instead of having a free weekend, why don't they have a lite version?

Like you can have only 3 characters for free, and you can only play quickplay and arcade, but not ranked, and maybe exp is a bit nerfed, but it's saved when you buy the full game.

You could give people Genji, Widow, and Hanzo for free, or some other combination you think it's better.

>Quick Play and Arcade filled with tens of millions of shitter BRs playing the worst characters in the entire game

TF2 might as well be dead compared to Overwatch LOL.

Daily reminder that Sup Forums is a vocal minority echo chamber and that literally everyone else is still enjoying the shit out of Overwatch.

I'm finding games faster in titanfall 2, the game thar has been """dead""" since it's release so go figure

this desu. Most of the overwatch haters are just butthurt that their favorite game isn't as popular or they just love being contrarian and hate on anything that is mainstream (see: pubg). It's best to ignore them and enjoy your game.

shit, wrong image

it has a lot of twitch viewers. the fuck are you talking about?

if they start introducing white male characters and bikini / skimpy outfits for their female characters like they did with Heroes of the Storm then you know it´s almost dead.

don't forget
>replace colors with classes, so you can't splash colors into your deck to make up for a weakness
>and you can't buy singles

What did (s)he mean by this?

>Muh 30 million players
dotesports.com/overwatch/overwatch-free-for-china-in-may-14348

In before 15 million of these are chink bots.

>30 million players
i downloaded and played for one couple hour session once during a free weekend, and i am included in this total
i have absolutely zero interest in the game, and will never buy it ever, and wouldn't play it if it was free
your metric is worthless garbage

This thread

user it's right here. 30million accounts, not active players. They refuse to release information on active players.

So what is your number for active players?

yes.

any game with the jewish league of legends system that forces you to keep playing is dying out.

what's yours?

blizz suspends and locks accounts liberally because they expect you to buy another account

>we have no problem with people having two accounts
>we will ban toxic players entirely, we don't want those people in our games
>btw did you know a new account will cost you $20 less this week? there's a fun fact, haha

So like cardstone?

sounds like a fag

>want to make a brand new multimedia franchise built around a positive message that can be enjoyed by anybody
>end up with the most cancerous playerbase in gaming and millions of petabytes of porn

Nah, it's still fucking popular you yutz

except overwatch numbers are total number of accounts. Want to guess how many TF2 buyers/people that have played it once are?

I'd be very surprised if it was full-on dying, but it's probably not unreasonable to say that after the initial hype some people are going to drop off.
Maybe Blizzard has some unrealistic expectations about their game's ability to retain players.
