>first week of Overwatch's release they mass perma ban cheaters
>cheaters make a new account to rebuy the game
>get banned again
>meanwhile, valve took years to deal with LMAOBOX and did a shit job at it
>those banned can just make a new account easily and rebuy the game

I hate how cheap and shit Valve is.

THEY
FIXED
LITERALLY
EVERYTHING
!!!!!!!!

You're not wrong, user. Blizzard tackles botters n shit because it's more profitable to fix the issue knowing those degenerates will just buy their shit again. As opposed to Valve being unable to combat their Russian/Chinese problem because they have their own virtual market.

>get bored and reinstall tf2
>cheaters, memers, and bronies everywhere
>be 100 hours into Overwatch
>haven't seen a single cheater
>most people are quite and use the default voice coms to communicate and almost every team of pubs I've been on was able to coordinate without issues

What the fuck is valve doing?

>makes great games

Where? I don't see them?

How would you spin cheaters getting banned on their new accounts within days, even if they don't repeat the offense?

High prize poooool!!!! :D

If you really think about what you said, you would realise you sound batshit insane!

If you actually visited forums where they sell botting tools you would know they do repeat purchases to find out what triggers a ban so they can circumvent and exploit. Rebuying and using old/new hardware, rebuy and using phresh OS, rebuy and new ip/credit card, it goes on. Don't be stupid.

Purging chaos

>tfw cheaters on gay fortress 2 doesn't have to rebuy anything because it's now f2p
>unlimited cheat all the time

vomit

What type of person buys a $40 game, cheats, gets banned, then spends hundreds of dollars and loads of time trying to circumvent the ban all to likely be banned again?

>try to get into Overwatch
>so far no cheaters
>first game is literally half the team staring at Widowmaker character because they're horny 12 year olds
>mic spammers
>team wins somehow
>say gg ez
>next day met with a ban

Into the trash it goes!

People who figure they can resell the exploit to the masses?

you also forgot

blizzard isn't ruining the artstyle of his game with community update

or fucking the balance of the game with 1 billions HIV tier unlocks

or using a 100 years old unoptimized piece of shit engine

>blizzard isn't ruining the artstyle of his game with community update
It never had an artstyle to begin with. It's just random garbage thrown together into a mishmash that makes neon green scout cosmetics look subtle. Not to mention the disgusting sex fanservice that they push at you to try and attract the horny kids.

>implying they don't steal credit cards to fund this

>It never had an artstyle to begin with. It's just random garbage thrown together into a mishmash that makes neon green scout cosmetics look subtle.

>valvefag trying to compare the nuclear disaster that tf2 is now and overwatch

even the ugliest legendary in overwatch look fine in front of any tf2 player

This is fake, isn't it

At the end of the day, they're still mercenaries wearing funny cosmetics. There's still common ground.

Meanwhile, in Overwatch

>le wacky magic ninjas and cowboys fighting le jimmy rustle monkey and robots
>supposedly lighthearted characters working with evil edgelord villains who outright murder people

It makes no sense.

>blizz is a shareholded company with 50.000 employees
>Valve indie dev with a few more than 200 emps counting cleaner and security.

I really hope thats not photoshopped

Oh, I see. I don't understand why people spend so much effort on shady to illegal shit. If they put as much effort in a legitimate job or business they'd probably not only be better off financially but wouldn't run the risk of prison time either.

>At the end of the day, they're still mercenaries wearing funny cosmetics. There's still common ground.
sure

Even if it still cost money, you can get around bans like that by enabling Family Share then creating a new account, make the new account a Family member and share the game with it.

It's how I got around Dark Souls 2 softbans.

>actually bans cheaters
Is that why there are more bots in wow than players?

Is that why even high end riders bot their rotation and the only thing they actually do is moving their characters?

Is that why there are literally russians flying every 2 arenas and 4 people out of 5 kick botting?

All that says is that the premise was infinitely better than OW ever could be, and it started out as one of the greatest FPS's ever. It didn't need disgusting sex fanservice, or wacky memes, or stupid pandering.

Post-cosmetics TF2 is now on par with Overwatch since it's a mishmash of ugly colors that don't mesh well with eachother.

>stop bullying poor indie devs like valve who do this for free because they love videogames

Bungie used to be bro-tier in the Halo days.

>All that says is that the premise was infinitely better than OW ever could be, and it started out as one of the greatest FPS's ever
and now it's only history with the tsunami of shitty cosmetics, updates, unlocks, brazilians, kids, russians, hackers, brony, friendly players n' shit.

> It didn't need disgusting sex fanservice, or wacky memes, or stupid pandering.

and overwatch didn't need all of this too to be fun , unlike lame fortress 2 in 2016.

>shareholded company

Jesus Christ, user. Every company has at least one shareholder. You mean that Activision Blizzard is a publicly traded company. At least that means they have to release their financials each quarter unlike Valve who is probably cutting every corner possibly and distributing all their profits instead of reinvesting them into the company.

>Bought WoD
>Enjoyed it for the first 2 weeks.
>Eventually dropped it because all my mates are Horde and I really want to play my Night Elves, but playing solo is shitty so I'm always on my Horde.

>Really fucking worried

I don't know what to do.
Do I give it another shot, lads?

How can Blizzard be a based company when they literally rig their MM to frustrate players and deter them from unboxing too many free boxes?

>purchase these new cards now, in Heartstone™!
>purchase our new 9th WoW™ expansion!
>purchase our shitty Diablo 3™ game, featuring amazing marketplace features!

>and now it's only history with the tsunami of shitty cosmetics, updates, unlocks, brazilians, kids, russians, hackers, brony, friendly players n' shit.
And guess what? Overwatch has that exact same problem. Almost every single one of those people inhabit the game, since Blizzard refuses to permaban anyone who isn't over the age of 18.

>and overwatch didn't need all of this too to be fun
Where's the fun though? Certainly isn't on the servers which prevent having fun by being more restrictive than denuvo DRM, or the characters who are wildly unbalanced.

>oh baby come back to us we treat you like this time we swear

tell me when those money milking cock sucking faggots start pumping out a million dollars worth of content each month for the game that makes them a billion dollars and I'll believe them. The whole fucking point of subscriptions in the first plce was to make the game better, not to be a jew kike cunt and sell you updates once every 6 months that add jack shit to your game.

I love Blizzard best company ever. Please pre-order Legion.

What's wrong with your faaaace

Are you retarded enough to fall for shills?

It happens literally every expansions literraly every single one and you people are fucking stupid enough to fall for it.

" And guess what? Overwatch has that exact same problem. Almost every single one of those people inhabit the game, since Blizzard refuses to permaban anyone who isn't over the age of 18. "

rank50 shitter talking about balance in a perfectly balanced game
and only griefing faggot, afk cunt and autistic friendly turd cry about restriction on the server.

They also have the deepest pockets paying your marketing firm, right OP?

Shame you are still only getting minimum wage.

If the only thing you can say against something is "omg shill pls," you're already lost your foothold.

>You're already

God dammit.

Post the ban email or fuck off.

>Bought WoD
>Enjoyed it for the first 2 weeks.

>but wod is gud best expansion ever to be released xDDD more content than any other xpacs :D

You are clearly braindead, please buy legion, you deserve it.

>poorfags buying overwatch
You do know they can rent the game from Redbox at 1 dollar, right? So yes, it's probably cheaper to get the full experience than even TF2 which requires 5 bucks for premium accounts.

>implying blizzard doesn't perma ban cheater
Banning cheaters isn't good enough. As TF2 demonstrates, all problematic players have to be banned for the game to be good. That means children, idlers, griefers, and anyone who isn't playing how they're supposed to. That means someone who plays Trobjorn on a map where a strong offensive class is needed. Until Blizzard bans all of them the game is unplayable.

>rank50 shitter talking about balance in a perfectly balanced game
And yet /owg/ constantly complains about Widowmaker and Bastion and Reaper, and I don't have to get into how angry Junkrat and Hanzo make people with their abuse of ULTs and hitboxes.

its quite bad how obviously Blizzard shills here.

No.

Shilling here is reaching maximum heights like overwatch and this will be the same shit as overwatch a fat let down praised by shit eating retards.

Non shills who played the beta said its the same as WoD just 2.0

If you inevitably cave in just get it from a third party seller.

Fuck off shill

You're retarded and putting words in my mouth, pulling charts and shit to fit your hyperbole shitposting. I literally don't care about your opinion.

>Shilling here is reaching maximum heights
>this will be the same shit as overwatch
So it'll be a good game?

Is there a more bro-tier dev than Blizzard, Monsanto maybe?

>SHILL!
>NO, YOU'RE A SHILL
Sup Forumsideogames

Not him but
>/owg/
>Not shitters themselves
What's next? /fgg/ is good at fighting games? /lolg/ isn't shit? /d2g/ aren't mainly all 2k trash themselves?

I thought Overwatch didn't have "shitters"? The whole entire fanbase was perfect according to you. After all, the "complaining children were contained to TF2" weren't they?

I guess someone is fabricating a bit of a fib, aren't they?

>You're retarded and putting words in my mouth
I literally quoted you and those totally really excited players, but then again you are dumb, so it's likely you lack short span memory.

I'm not him, retard.

>I literally quoted you
And then literally quoted somebody else that doesn't exist, without differentiating the two. While also resorting to basic as fuck xDDDD-tier shitposting in the same post.

Really puts a damper on any point you're trying to make when you do the old
>I AM SILLY
type of post.

>meanwhile, valve took years to deal with LMAOBOX and did a shit job at it
I use lmaobox and still haven't been banned :^)

I'm addressing you AND him simultaneously.

How can a game have a better fanbase if they're both filled with the same "shitters"?

No fan of Starcraft or Hearthstone, but all their other games are literally the only games I enjoy nowadays, I used to enjoy Final Fantasy games but I just can't be assed to boot one of thos games anymore

>And then literally quoted somebody else that doesn't exist

So are you implying these are bots made to spam the board with "X xpac is going to be good"?

>I'm addressing you AND him simultaneously.
By responding only to me. Great job, retard.

I'm not debating you. I'm pointing out that you claimed people aren't shitters using /owg/ as an example when you were called a shitter.

Shitter.

Show me the post in this thread that said
>but wod is gud best expansion ever to be released xDDD more content than any other xpacs :D

im still mad about that tracer pose

>makes a great game
kek

You mean great Cash Shop

Nice strawman, of course kids and feminists have to love the things you hate :^)

Nevermind the reality that there's a bell curve around the age of 28 and a 80% male playerbase, both of which account for 96% of all microtransactions, it's definitely all women and kids' fault

I guess facts are offensive

Tracer is for hugs and saying cute words, not for butt

>Press Q to win
>Good

Good goy.

>Show me the post in this thread that said

There are better

>Dying to an easily counterable ultimate
I rest my, and that other guy's, case.

All I'm saying is this: if your game is good, it would have no "shitters" period. Those people popping up is a sign of a bad game.

>All I'm saying is this: if your game is good, it would have no "shitters" period.
This is the dumbest thing I've read all day.

>Your game is bad because people are bad at it.

You are one dumb ass nigga, my man.

>Make a positive thread about Blizzard
>Nostalrius shitters and steamonly fags proceed to shitpost, but they got no argument as to why Blizzard is bad and not bro's

>Someone says "This pose just exists to show ass, it's very out of character."
>Blizzard says "Yeah, you're right."
>Makes a more in-character pose that shows just as much ass

I'd say that was a plus for them.

A "shitter" isn't just characterized by being bad at the game. It also involves turning the game into your personal fetish wankbait, which usually means you'll spend entire matches doing nothing or masturbating to one of the characters in tight latex. Or something equally disruptive to the game and the team.

A good game would foster only a community of good people. Anyone bad at the game would be happy to learn how to improve, or gently acknowledge as such. See: any game that doesn't have a general on /vg/.

This is false and literally nothing but your own personal headcanon.

t. headcanon

Fine then. Compare the fans of Overwatch, Team Fortress 2 and Battleborn (inb4 literally who jokes) and compare them to the fans of Tribes: Ascend, or Quake, or Unreal Tournament. Notice how the latter fans have never once turned into a collection of disappointment and anger given form through imageboards? And as a result their games aren't littered with DLC or cosmetics and are ACTUALLY FUN.

I hold blizzard personally responsible for many games being shit

>Comparing new games to old games that get the "dindu nuffin wrong" treatment from the vidya community and that barely gets discussed and cherrypicking opinions

You're welcome to post the patches and updates that turned Quake into waifu bait with neon green paint schemes everywhere. I'll be patient.

>What are different themes

>Thinking about buying Overmeme
>Remember I have an old-as-fuck WOW account from 2008
>Create Bnet account, try to merge WOW account
>"This account has already been merged into a Battle.net account"
Wtf, did somebody seriously steal my low-lvl account?
Even though I do not plan on playing WoW again, I still don't want some chink goldfarmer to make a profit at my cost.

Oh, you're right. I forgot to factor that in.

>one is an arena shooter
>the other is an arena shooter

Wait a sec.....

>as a result their games aren't littered with DLC or cosmetics and are ACTUALLY FUN.
>Tribes: Ascend

Also compare:
Number of fans of Quake and Unreal Tournament to the fans of Overwatch alone.

Quake and UT are borderline LITERALLY WHO tier games nowadays, fag.

>Jumps literally to the "I like Quake I'm not a shitter" defense the second his headcanon is shit on

Don't you have some nerds to do some epic fragging™ on?

>You're welcome to post the patches and updates that turned Quake into waifu bait with neon green paint schemes everywhere.
This one:
youtube.com/watch?v=sa-6fQyNkZo

One is set 50ish years into the future with omnic scum and old and young elite mercenaries
The other one godknowswhen where you shoot monsters and explore levels like Doom, at least in singleplayer

>Number of fans of Quake and Unreal Tournament to the fans of Overwatch alone.
>popularity fallacy

Stopped reading there.

So what you're saying is that Unreal and Quake focus more on gameplay than trying to set up a plot? Interesting.

>Implying it was a popularity fallacy.
No, retard. I'm saying that it's more likely to find varying types of people because it literally has more fans than Quake and UT put together.

Dumbass.

>Overwatch
>Plot.

>same thing happened to me with old WoW account
>make a claim on bnet support
>get my shit back
>i have 2 copies of diablo 3 and all WoW expansions

its been 2 months now and they havent removed it so I think I get to keep this shit.

What I'm saying is you only took the multiplayer aspect of the game and didn't factor everything else from the game in, and there's a 18 year old difference between the games and the industry and expectations from people who buys games changes

Given what they is to Starcraft and Diablo, no.

Fuck them really.

Blame the community for Starcraft

Diablo 3 is fine, get's a week or two replay value every new season

>No, retard. I'm saying that it's more likely to find varying types of people because it literally has more fans than Quake and UT put together.
Yes, including children, BRs, griefers, and people don't even want to play the game. I'll always take the smaller fanbase over the worse one. Say I wanted to play some quake right now, for example. I call up a few of my buds, we set up a server, we enjoy ourselves.

Can't do that in Overwatch because Blizzard's servers are terrible and laggy. I don't even think their LAN support is up to date.

do you know what that means? The actual fun shooters aged like fine wine, while Overwatch is already aging like milk. OW doesn't even have a singleplayer, which is even worse.

>OW doesn't even have a singleplayer
So go play blunderborn then, a game musn't have single player for it to be enjoyable, if you don't like multiplayer arena shooters then just say so

>Blizzard's servers are terrible and laggy
Works on my end :)
