I think Overwatch has finally lost its charm for me. Before launch the character designs and playstyle seemed very fun considering I'd gotten tired of TF2 after many years as well as traditional shooters

But after playing it since launch its just grating and fucking lame to play sometimes, even with groups of friends. I'm only good at a handful of heroes (none of them are offense heroes) and even still I don't want to play them all the time. On top of that, the competitive mode is the precise reason why I quit DOTA and keep CS:GO at an arms length; Your personal ranking and measurement of how "good" you are is barely based on how well you as an individual play, and have to work closely with/rely on 5 others who don't always pull their weight. Its all fucking random what idiots you can get.

t. rank 2700

just git gud lol

Why don't you play with 5 friends instead of randoms?

You do have 5 friends right?

Overwatch was meant for Quickplay. Ranked was a mistake.

This. Ranked ruins games.

I haven't played in months.

The game stagnated real fast, as they didn't release enough new content to keep it fresh.

Sounds like you burned out from playing too much, friendo. Not the game's fault; play something else and then come back. Never depend on one single game to give you all of your entertainment.

i dont even have 1 friend

>Play Quickplay for a while
>enjoy it
>Eventually give in and try ranked
>After having a fuckton of shitters I start getting decent competent players
>stop raging hard at losing because of one bad player
>start relaxing and enjoying it a lot more
>go back to quick play
>find it boring, less coordinated and less interesting than ranked

QP is alright for fucking around/playing with shit characters but ranked just feels better when you have a team of people who are willing to switch and don't bitch piss and moan when they can't play the one hero they enjoy. That and QP Bastion is hella fun. Had some poor Lucio get really assblasted after I sat on the point and gunned him down while he was wall riding.

As long as you're trying and picking smart characters (like not going in with only Zenyatta as a healer) then we're fine. The only thing that really annoys me now is people flocking to damage dealers and doing fucking nothing or people who refuse to switch when asked to switch.

the game itself is terrible, terribly balanced and every retard could kill the world champ, i am a kinda high rank and too many times you can't avoid getting killed due to token free kills ults or hardcounters, shit gets boring real fast this way

The day I play again is the day they do something about Zarya

She's in every ranked game and that character's only purpose is to be a fun vacuum

It's how most class based games work (Mobas and the like specifically). Evidently casuals feel less bad when they die to a counter than they do when they die to someone who outplayed them.

I don't understand the mindset myself but whatever. It is annoying when a Genji ults you and then talks shit like he did something amazing.

>t. rank 2700
Is that your MMR friendo or Overwatch-ranking?

Zarya becomes stronger the more coordinated the enemy team is. She can constantly be at high energy and get her ults fairly fast the more the enemy focuses fire on her. I really don't see a way to balance her out without making her useless as fuck.

At least make it so that shields are consistent in this game

it's fucking stupid that some things can penetrate Rein and Winston's shields, but NOTHING can pierce Zarya's bubble

Overwatch had charm to begin with?

That would be good. It's dumb that Zayra gets a fuckton of charge from Reinhardt after he swings twice on her. Plus that would help cement Mei as more of an anti tank character.

That would actually be a really good step into balancing her out.

make the bubble on yourself and the bubble on ally a shared cd, it's way too strong

I think the problem with Zarya is that she doesn't have a specific counter to her bullshit, whereas every other character has counter-characters that will almost always win against you in an encounter

I'm done with overwatch with just around 25 hours or active playtime clocked in.
It was a dissapintpent for me.
It feels like it lacks depth and nuance to keep me interested.

This, I stopped playing recently because they have hardly released anything since launch. 1 new hero, ranked and 1 map? come on man....

Watch Sombra have a shield and health shield sapping ability. Honestly that would be really cool.

That would make her really boring. She should just have a longer cooldown on her self shield and have it so it functions like any other shield.
