Overwatch is SHIIIEEEET

rank 70 overwatch player's little blog
>two heroes with absolute braindead lowest skill ceiling and skill floor possible in an already low skill game - lucio and reinhardt
>both are mandatory in every team on almost every map

>time to kill already low as fuck
>now with ana ult and zen's "buff" who only exists for spamming E throughout the whole match even tanks melt in less than a second

>high level gameplay consists of clumping with your teammates and shooting at another 6man clump untill all of you are ready to press Q
>try to do some advanced shit like causing ruckus with wallriding speedboosted lucio - get instakilled
>forces stall gameplay with no variety where every hero is a one-dimensional single playstyle garbage.

>from technical standpoint game is an insult to every one who played multiplayer fps games in the past.
>mouse input is gimped by forced one frame buffer, meaning overwatch's input is always one frame behind in comparison to other fps games like csgo/tf2/unreal/quake/cod/bf
>maximum fov of "103" is still lower than 90 fov in csgo/tf2/quake/etc
>hud is utter flashy garbage that is simply there to be pretty, its easy to not notice that you are taking damage or you are at half hp or you are just about to reload because information is tucked away in corners and isnt highlighted enough ( picrelated is what proper hud looks like )
>tf2 players: "fuck your viewmodels we want "cl_drawviewmodel 0" back you shitheads"
>overwatch players: "nonono viewmodels are a must you cant disable them or change them, they provide so much needed immersion for this game! I like having zenyattas balls in my face all the time, or zaryas gun blocking half my screen - its immersive!"

and then you have shit like 20 tick, shots not registering, missed shots registering, shitty map/gamemode balance ( payloads always ending with coinflips ), shitty heroes balance, shitty matchmaking, shitty heroes in general, shitty humor, shitty everything

if after this post you are going to continiue playing this game - go fucking kill yourself immediately

also general hero design points out that the game was made from ground up for consoles ( mouse autoaim through gamepad spoof during beta anyone? ), so if you are playing overwatch on a console - gz, hf. If you are playing on PC - see the last sentence of the previous post

ITT: "i haven't realised the game is made for a casual audience"

it was advertised as competitive esports "back to the roots" fast paced next big thing shooter

Yeah these are all true, if you play the game competitively.

I don't play it competitively, I play it with friends for fun, just like all the shooters you mentioned.

>high level gameplay consists of clumping with your teammates and shooting at another 6man clump untill all of you are ready to press Q
>I've never played a competitive match or watched a tournament.
The game is a success, and TF2 is a cancerous hat simulator. Get over yourself.

Every game is going to be advertised as a competitive esport from now on man lmao

esports is literally marketing and has nothing to do with gameplay

What every company is going to do now is make a babby shit game and call it an esport so they can double dip on casuals and hardcore players

i still have fun playing it. it does have issues, and I hope they fix them, but it doesn't mean I have literally 0 fun playing it

>it was advertised as competitive esports "back to the roots" fast paced next big thing shooter

it literally wasn't

Came here to post this desu

user it doesnt take a genius to realize that blizzard is buying this game into esports

It really makes you think...

>rank 70
>>high level gameplay consists of clumping with your teammates and shooting at another 6man clump untill all of you are ready to press Q
You're lying.

>Rank 70
>thinks reinhardt is easy

see this

OFC He's fucking lying, he's probably around 40 and frustrated he can't win shit, I mean, you can tell a shitty Lucio from a good one miles away, same for Rein

>Solo as Lucio
>we cap a point, speed bost them so we can get right to the next point
>they fucking flank even though the whole other team is dead

>20 tick
Oops, you just proved you've got no idea what the fuck you're talking about.

Tick is not command rate. Command rate is not update rate. Update rate is not tick. These things are connected but are not the same thing.

Overwatch servers have a tick rate of 60Hz. They have a command rate (or the rate at which the client updates the server with its actions) of 60Hz.
They have an update rate (or the rate at which the client receives updates from the server) of 20Hz.

semantics.

Point still stands that the server favors the shooter at all times and will register hits when you are out of line of sight.

>THIS GAME IS SHIT AND YOU SHOULD STOP HAVING FUN

I played 69 dollars for my game and I'm gonna enjoy it fuck you faggots

Part of the problem is map design

...

tf2 fags on suicide watch because their hat collection has become worthless overnight

>if after this post you are going to continiue playing this game - go fucking kill yourself immediately
But I'm going to boot it up in about 30 minutes because it's fun, and lol what kind of fucking sperglord plays competitive games anyway.

>can't compete in life
>gotta compete in a game designed to be casual and fun

You're like the beer league kickball champ.

>57 fps
>playing on stupid high settings
This is your fault

Play it on low and get the 150-300fps.

Fixes everything.

And that's why you play quick play if you actually want to have FUN.
