If you’re thinking about getting overwatch, I implore you to play TF2 instead.
Is it just me or has there been a salty TF2fag spamming threads trying to get people to play TF2 instead of Overwatch?
it isn't just you, there are plenty of them spamming threads all for the wrong reasons. Overwatch is ok for what it is, but it's like any other Blizzard game these days.

you have to pay large sums of money for objectivley better weapons and for hats. you can craft them, if you play hundreds of hours.

Literally killed the game. Horrible piece of shit now.
Overwatch is pretty enjoyable. It still has the nice class based gameplay, even if there are too many, without the bullshit that infects TF2 now. It's also different enough to feel fresh.
I can't see why people are upset that someone would play a different game after 10 years. Especially when the vast majority if those were shite.

Stopped reading right there. Were you playing when cosmetics were introduced to TF2? This game turned into a joke post-hats
Which of these are you considering a moba and why?

can you fucking not?
the one that is literally ASSFAGGOTS
They are both literally not. Hence the question.
last time I checked, TF2 was still a shooter, not a MOBA

Of course it isn't as "LoL with guns" as Battleborn, but it's pretty fucking close.

How's that competitive matchmaking they recently announced coming along?
keep telling yourself that, one day it might be true and your MOBA's might not be terrible shit
a MOBA requires minions, bots as you will in order to progress on the "lane"
Please show me where in OW there are lanes or minions?
This is a Sup Forums meme circa 2010
I literally have no idea which one you're talking about. I don't play monad, and don't play either game, although I have done.
And this is a screenshot of Battleborn
It's 40 dollars u cuck
>fingerless glove meter
It will never get old for me.
MOBA abilities derived from WC3
just saying
I'd pay 19.99 for how barebones it is right now, but of course it's an overglorified game made by an overglorified company so they can get away with it
Jesus, who the fuck makes such trash GUI and believes it looks ok.
WC3 abilities derived from Dungeons and Dragons
just saying
I'd probably care more about overwatch if it was third person.
then the terrible gameplay would matter less cause I could jerk off to my character
>all backed by Valve, the best dev in the industry
Ooops, looks like you forgot about paid mods.
>If you’re thinking about getting overwatch
I preordered months ago
>I implore you to play TF2 instead. I implore you to play TF2 instead.
Boring as fuck
give me one good reason why visual customization is important for a videogame
Irrelevant my man
Jesus christ
it isn't.
it's an add-on that lets you make your character a bit more personal, and to try and stand out amongst the massive number of clones of your character.
it provides no additional gameplay
it provides no additional challenge
more often then not it actually hurts gameplay and the visual style of your game
but for some reason faggots want to fag up their characters with dildos and shit.
Both TF2 and Overwatch are trash and should be avoided at all costs.
it connects you more with your character, making it more personal i think.
either way. Overwatch has as much customization as TF2.
Skins that alter the model, voicelines and effects.
taunts, sprays, voicelines, highlight intros.
oh also customization options are a good unlockable thing to keep people playing, wouldn't want people to have to unlock gameplay relevant stuff.
I actually enjoy Battleborn when it's not putting me against three level 100's when i'm level 10. But that's almost never since hardly anyone plays
it's fun

corrected that for you
I dropped the moment I realised no dedicated server support. I can deal with not being able to see anything that's happening on the screen 99% of the time, but I can't deal with no dedicated server support.
Well, there's also Paragon which happens to be 3rd person but I doubt you enjoy playing Epic's Smite. Also it's fucking expensive.
For devs it's a decent source of income that takes advantage of good goyim. For players it's merely a way to boast about having useless digital goods.

thank god, no 249mb download of shitty sound effects, btw you should already kill yourself for being a pubber and not playing ranked
>backed by Blizzard, the worst and most money grubbing dev in the industry
every dev is kikey, blizzard/valve is no exception or worse than the other, though valve is arguably more kikey nowadays
what's wrong with that?
are you one of those guys that plays custom maps all the time?
or some shitty mods like prophunt zombie or surf?
i can understand if you like going to the same server every day meeting the same people
its still shit
what, you think this is any better?
It's been happening multiple times a day on Sup Forums recently.

Good job
Not him but you can really get a community of people going on dedicated servers, and playing with the same people every day is rather comforting and a better stress release than just playing with random people you have no connection with. On top of that you can apply various mods and such to the server for whatever you want at the time.
On a server I was a mod on for TF2, we played stock nearly all the time, until we got bored and decided to do random shit, maybe a racing map, or a game where the only way to kill people is to knock them off the map itself.
The idea of having to play with random people every game is just not appealing to me. I hated it in every other arcade shooter, and I doubt I'd like it in Overwatch, even if I liked what I saw in the videos.
Now you've got me wanting SMNC...
Jesus Christ, you can have entire groups of characters hiding behind those guns
You can form your own party in OW though.
Just Reaper things.

Yeah no, TF2 is dead. Overwatch will be some fresh air.
Wouldn't Reinhardt be Demoknight?
I'm the opposite. TF2 suffers from unbalanced games very often just due to the fact that there is no MMR being tracked, and if someone amazing gets into a round the entire game becomes a steamroll faster than you can say shitfest.
Matchmaking mitigates this problem.
you forgot
TF2:
>bloated with horribly designed jew tier items
>terrible game balance
>unapproachable for new players
The answer is to have both MM and dedicated servers like CS:GO. I heard TF2 has implmented ranked MM but I also heard tons of problems with it.
At least the hud in that one is somewhat okay to look at.
That other one was nuts.
>clean, minimalist HUD
Yes, much nicer than that fucking neon clusterfuck
Yes. Way better except for the gigantic guns.
>TF2
>great customization
No.
It's a lot better. Maybe the top can be trimmed down a bit, but otherwise it tells you everything you need to know.
erotic role play i guess
The gigantic guns are only there because Reaper is an edgelord with 2 shotguns
>implying Overwatch hasn't already amassed the worst fucking player/fanbase
>"great" customization of TF2 is now a plus
Are you fucking serious
bait
but if its not, you just need to learn how to play classes
All of these people who never played custom multiplayer games in Age of Mythology/Empires, Unreal Tournament 2004, Starcraft and old source games (not the gimped shit we have)
Man what the fuck happened?
TF3 when?

Been playing since 2009, and while hats and F2P saved TF2's community from dying, it was definitely for the worst in the long run.
>TF2
Let the dead rest in piece.
I'm playing tf2 while waiting for overwatch
>Overwatch is 60$ meme
I know you are going for extreme cherrypicking here, as that is a few frames tops when reloading. And still the UI is way less jarring than the one from battleborn.
Seriously, just let battleborn die a dignified death and dont try to drag it trough the mud shoving its half dead body into everyones faces.
>all those tf2 cucks in suicide watch and posting why they not going to play overwatch but are going to after its launched aaahaha
>>lots of different play styles
>>push the cart to win
I know that feel, user.
okay. how about this?
>fucking toy gun taking up half of the right side of the screen
>fires green blinding bullshit everywhere cluttering up the UI even more
I played the open beta for five minutes at most and I couldn't tell what the fuck was happening because I was on the attacking side. as soon as the gates opened my UI was just filled the same rainbow colored particle effect bullshit that you guys badmouth battleborn for.
also atleast in attacking in TF2 you can actually fucking see where the enemy is right out the gates.
You would have some semblance of a coherent argument if that knockback was a spammable skill.
Too bad it's not.
Except you can only use Lucio's alt fire every 7 seconds or so. So no.
Bargaining. Only depression and acceptance remains.
Like?
Sorry OP but Overwatch was so good I'm having fucking withdrawal symptoms.
yes, stare at the image instead of the main body of my argument. It still doesn't change the fact that fights in the game are a visual clusterfuck of random colors and particle effects just like Battleborn. fucking look at this.
>bunch of mlp and erp servers
I've never seen one.
Not even ONE
Not a single furry server in all my time playing.
The only way i can see you finding some is if you went to the server browser and type "furry" as a tag. And in that case what are you doing my nigger?
If he does that then he's looking for furry servers. I'm no Sherlock Holmes, but even then it's pretty obvious.
Soon I hope
it could be so good
>alternate weapons that are concise and make sense and elegantly change the focus of the class, like getting a conc grenade instead of a pistol, instead of the current model of getting a fucking bottle of milk or soda that when used gives you +23% extra cromulence for the next 6 seconds at the cost of all critical hits or 33% damage or some other retarded MMO modifier
>no stupid ugly hats, all hats fit the characters because the characters were designed to be able to wear different outfits
>cool new mechanics like destructible terrain or something
>game less built around spamming explosives at chokepoints
>classes are balanced to have similar room for skill instead of having le rocketjumping 300 mph man of balance in the same game as "walk slowly and shoot your minigun in the general enemy direction"
but valve will never make it
valve will never make a game again
valve will not even port the final dota 2 hero in this year
Except it's very obvious that Zarya fired a blob at McRee which bounced off the van and hit the ground at an angle.
Nothing else is going on in the screen besides the fact that in a few seconds Zarya is about to get a face full of flashbang and hammer.
At the end of the day the emphasis on ults is what kills overwatch for me.
I have no interest in playing a game where everyone has a fucking uber meter and that uber meter is just an autowin button to kill everything on the screen.
I just want to play a shooter.
There's not much going on? It's a one on one skirmish. How are you able to play video games?
Since the tf2 economy has more wealth than several nations, i wouldnt bet on it
