Is Overwatch dying?

Is Overwatch dying?

I remember when I would find a match within a couple seconds.

I usually get one in about 30s or so, even in the middle of the night, where do you live?

We're all dying, user.

Stop leaving midmatch ;)

Germany.
Not a rural area either.

As I said, I used to get a match in under 10 seconds.

there's a fucking skeleton behind her and he already killed her cat

its like time man, it just keeps on kickin our asses while we are busy living...its not fair. KNOCK IT OFF!

>you were forced to play for 3 weeks straight if you want all the skins & stuff from the Halloween event
>several tripple AAA games game out last week

Pretty obvious that people might want to take break. Come back next week for Sombra.

we need to save her

I came back for halloween and it seemed like I wasn't the only person who had stopped playing the game. I think everyone left after the halloween event because the game is shit.

you'd have to be a simpleton to enjoy playing this after S1

>little brother wants me to play Overwatch very badly
>Says I will like it
>Everyone's playing it
>Don't want to buy because Blizzard shill
>Eventually cave in on a precaution
>Know baby brother plays garbage games like LoL
>Make him play and beat HL2, HL2:ep1, HL2:ep2 and then and only if he beats all 3 I will play overwatch
>He does it confirmed
>Buy and play Overwatch
>He stops playing it along with my other friends
>I'm playing Overwatch alone
>Hit plat while all other friends unranked
>Still playing.

>get told to play overwatch by all my friends when it comes out
>we all play together and have fun for like a week
>we all literally stop playing 2 weeks after release because its shallow as fuck and has no content
It has no player retention. Yes, it's dying.
Blizzdrones eat this shit up though. It doesn't matter what gets put on their plate, they'll still fucking suck it up.

Pretty much. See you all on Christmas.

I've never had this problem. And last I played was last night

The game is having a hard time finding people as bad as you for a match

>i don't like X so everybody who likes it are fucking retards
>did i also mention i have friends who think the same so i'm clearly correct

It's the middle of the work week in the middle of the day in America. Kids are at school, people work. Only neets, night workers, or jobless people can play right now.

There's a reason Blizzard doesn't want to release their numbers, user.

>9AM PST/12PM EST Wednesday
>woooow why can't i find a match instantly?

Reminder: people work and go to school

the game is anything but dead
it's not even dying, unless Sup Forums thinks not having the same amount of players online 24/7 as the launch day had is dying

>6 minute wait

Where and when? I've been on/off playing the last 4 hours and the longest I waited was probably just over 40 seconds.

But they keep releasing the numbers of overwatch though

>source: my colon

...

>source: my anus
post the article faggot

I've had the problem where sometimes I can go 1 minute+ without finding a match
But if you leave the queue and rejoin you can usually find one within 30s
Anything more just exit and restart it again

And before you bitch about it being polygon all of their sources come from the official twitter

Not him, but
pcgamesn.com/overwatch/overwatch-sales-numbers

Blizzard are releasing Overwatch numbers, but not WoW numbers

...

It was like this from day one. I sometimes had to wait 3 minutes to get into quickplay match just week after game's release on european server.

>registered players
well memed my man
registered =/= active

well you didn't specify active :^)

Nigger, just because you don't like it doesn't mean the thing is dying, infact this game is probably the only one still growing that blizzard still has

I still always find matches within 30 seconds

That's my fault, I should have specified.
But the takeaway from this is that Blizzard hasn't released their active player count for a reason.

youtube.com/watch?v=_aevlBm6R_M

No surprise, it's a cuck game

What reason, exactly?
Have they even done it before for any of their games?

but still it's not dying, even though you think so :^)

It doesn't mean inactive, either.

>quickplay still no one hero limit
>still cant disable one frame interval causing input lag twice the amount of csgo
>still cant disable blinding hdr/bloom effect
>physics engine is still broken, player-pushing is absolutely unpredicably random
>maps are still walled off kindergarden corridors, cant go anywhere where blizzard didnt specifically wanted you to go. See that ledge? Or that catwalk? See the balcony? Or that absolutely flat 2 foot wall surrounding the rooftop. No, you cant stand on any of that, nope, sorry, not intended, its just aesthetics.
>not a single hero rework when half the roster is literally "QUESTIONABLE DECISION"
>blizzard matchmaking, nuff said
>but hey, witch mercy, r-right? guys?

i only payed 40$ and im still disappointed i trusted blizzard yet again.

also

>competitive mode still has ultimates

>What reason, exactly?
Why wouldn't they? If the game was alive and well, wouldn't they be boasting about how lively and big their playerbase was?

Go to their twitter then and see how they continually interact with their fanbase

Why would they though? What do the player numbers give?
Also have they done it before for any other game?

piss off lol babby

I just can't understand what prevents Blizzard from creating good maps. It's not only Overwatch, take a look at HotS or SC2, literally everything from Blizzard is fucking shit in terms of actual gameplay value.

You're trying to hard and it shows.

Why do you think anyone should give a fuck about what you think?

I'm pretty sure they did it with WoW for a while, and then it went under and they stopped providing data on it.
It was either subscriptions or players, one of the two.
>lol who cares what u think
>still responds
What did he mean by this?

I dont see the point of making him play HL2 though.

4k+ hours in dota, 200 hours in lol, 3k hours in tf2, quit all three of them 2 years ago. Fuck off you goddam imbecile

>"20 million players have registered accounts"

This means nothing, it's just usual Blizzard skewing statistics for their investors just like they did with WoW where an "active subscriber" was anybody who had bought subscription time in the past 12 months even if it was just 1 month.

In this case it means every account that has or had access to Overwatch. Including beta players and people who haven't played since a year. In the same way, you could say that TF2 is still popular because it has 38 million registered accounts, eventhough everyone clearly knows it isn't popular anymore.
Blizzard and a lot of non-videogame corporations skew their statistics like that. For example, my country doesn't consider people who live on welfare as unemployed and everybody thinks we have the best unemployment rates because of it. It's not really true though.

not even him but literally the fuck would this matter at all
if i had 20 people who still played my shit game and i talked to a couple on twitter why would that make any difference

>>Know baby brother plays garbage games like LoL
>>Make him play and beat HL2, HL2:ep1, HL2:ep2 and then and only if he beats all 3 I will play overwatch

I'm tired of seeing my punk ass baby brother playing shit games like LoL and multiplayers.
>"I don't like single player games" ~Baby brother
Big bro's gotta show him the ropes man.

>I'll only play your game if you play my SUPERIOR game.

I hope you lie on the internet user. Otherwise I fear you may have severe autism.

>4k hours in dota
>quit in 2014

nice idling manchild

Is this the average blizzdrone?

Dude I'm trying to broaden his horizons. Wouldn't you do the same?

not the guy, but a lot of people have 4k hours in dota 2 and theres no point in idling in its main menu

I think he meant Blizzard. Go to their forums and twitter if you want to be heard.

>game's sole purpose is to be fun
>leave match because it isn't fun
>get penalized and put into matches where I'm at a greater risk of leaving due to no fun

Cancer

But if he does not like Single Player that's his problem though. I like both, but I know some people who hate multiplayer, or some people who hate single player. I can understand both.

nice greentext attempt shill.

>Being a rage-quitting faggot
>Complaining about cancer

Don't get baited

He is playing in PTR to make this thread. He cut out the part of the screens that would give him away.

>game's sole purpose is to be fun
>leave match because it isn't fun
>uninstall because the game clearly is a failure in terms of being fun
ftfy

>"broadening his horizons" by making him play valve garbage
lmao

>match isn't fun when the rest of the team isn't winning it for me ;_;

Kill yourself, you pathetic millennial.

very pretty.

How can you even play Overwatch for that long?

I got blackmailed into having Overwatch gifted to me for free and after a year I'm still rank 18.

They need to revamp competitive into 1 life per round with limited ammo and maybe then it will get any interesting for me.

>baiting on PTR

I'm amazed how many 'lets shit on Overwatch' threads there are. Whoever is so upset over this game is almost as annoying as Sonyggers are anti-Nintendo anytime they do something.

You're a fucking moron.

>Debatably one of the best PC games of all time next to DOOM
>Its shit.
>Sup Forums

Yes, all battle net games used to , Diablo 2, sc2 , sc1 and wc3. Just their new games don't, save sc2.

lol, so just dick around then. Lemme guess, it isn't fun because you're getting cremed by a better team? Get over it. watch what they do and try to emulate it on the mirror round, then watch how they react to their own tactics to develop skill, A.K.A GitGud N00b.

you actually posted this

Why pay $60 for this when the better game is free?

>1 day after halloween patch on overwatch
>takes 14 minutes for me to find a single game for the brawl

its dead

It's the opposite for me sometimes. I don't play overwatch but don't you have those games where you do super fucking amazing, and then your next team mate has 2 kills and 13 deaths ? It happens.

>le 5 hanzos "sake broteam"
>enemy is reinhardt, lucio, mcree, genji, zen, zarya
>start getting destroyed horribly
>leave game
>"HURR HOW DARE YOU RAGEQUIT YOU SHITTER STAY AND HAVE FUN BECAUSE ITS FUN IF I SAY SO, I REPEATED "ITS FUN" 10000 TIMES BEFORE AND NOW I MYSELF BELIEVE ITS FUN, NO WAY I TRICKED MYSELF INTO BLIZZ JEW LIES, ITS FUN SHIT ITS NOT WORKING ITS FUN FUN FUN FUN FUNFUNFUNFUNFUN"

>the game is shit
>but i play on holiday events to get cosmetics for the shit game

Please explain to me what is so fucking GREAT about half-life 2 other then muh good at the time tech-demo

Who is this semen demon

>Playing QM

MMR.

At low MMR's it finds a match instantly.

I don't have to explain anything to you. If you need someone to explain to you why HL2 is good you shouldn't be playing vidya.

All in the hopes of getting rare cosmetics that will make my account valuable in the future so I can sell it, user

Which game is that?

technically the only "rare" ones are the Summer Game skins because you couldnt buy them even during the event

Like a typical Valvedrone, you can't even explain why your over-rated shitcan of a game is good.

>germany
When will they learn? Nobody wants you nazis arround. Fuck off.

Depends if these same skins will be available next year, I imagine it would be similar to the limited skins that were sold during s1 and s2 of league of legends, but then again I think overwatch has already hit its peak in terms of active players.

Paladins

>Is Overwatch dying?
No, you just fell for a Sup Forums meme.

lmao, how about some actual player count like bf1stats

HL2 is a decade old tech demo with gimmicky Gravity gun gameplay, lackluster story, decent atmosphere and good soundtrack and level design. Gunplay is bad though, only redeemable weapons are the ones with rare ammo like crossbow, magnum or the ayylmao FAMAS.

it got boring, only good for the porn now.

You really have no grasp on how addicted some people got to DoTa

Yeah it's fading quick. It won't "die" for a few years but it will never be up to the population it was in May. It's made up of 95% staying comp players (quickplay had to add Skirmish while you search because it takes so long) and everyone who's wanted to try it already has.
