Why are people playing the most casual FPS of the past 10 years ? Why are people tryharding on something meant to be as casual as possible ? Why is this garbage popular ? When did everything went to shit with FPS ?

i enjoy it.

dunno around 2006 when old school fps died for real.

Because it's fun and I like fun things.

I can see why people play it but the tryhard nature is killing it for me. People get so mad in this game over nothing that I just don't get it. I even see people raging in arcade mode. It's insane. I blame blizzard for trying to make it an esport because esport type players are the biggest ragers you can find online.

>watching higher ranked matches
>zaryas only grav when the other zarya gravs

This is the lamest shit I've ever seen.

Because they ARE casuals
They suck at video games like they suck at most things
That's why that game is such a magnet for shit tier memes, it's that crowd

Counter Strike killed the FPS genre so blame that.

Hell, CS turned every online multiplayer game into a shitfest because it turned everyone into a giant annoying obnoxious faggot.

CS ruined so much goddamn.

>CS turned every online multiplayer game into a shitfest because it turned everyone into a giant annoying obnoxious faggot.

Oh yea, it's CS that "made" this people shit, it wasn't the people who were actually shit to begin with.

>Why are people playing the most casual FPS
That's such a non-complaint. Seriously, are you so insecure that every game you play must be "1337 hardcorez"? What are you trying to prove even.

Yeah it's casual as fuck. Not everything needs to be Ostfront 41-45 or something along those lines.

Now, the tryharding, yeah thats fucking stupid. But you gotta analyze the whole multiplayer game paradigm right now.

E-sports are getting big and little kids think they're gonna be the next ones to make it big in the scene, couple that with the amazing job Blizzard did at marketing OW and you have a recipe for disaster.

Really, the thing that makes the community extra toxic is the competitive mode. It's just as meaningless as the Arcade or Quick play, but people take that shit seriously because of the ranking system.

The game itself is fine and is quite fun for the occasional casual romp.

>it's can't be competitive because it's casual

Do you mean competitive as in having a competitive gaming scene/ working as an e-sport or competitive in the normal sense of the word?

>play QP
>Genji, Widowmaker, McCree, Roadhog, Soldier 76
>I'm forced to play a tank (that actually worth a damn. Roadhog is a fat DPS character) or Healer or we lose
>play Ranked
>The same meme meta heros every game
>tank, healer, and 76 are the only options
I'm sick of playing Rein,Lucio, and Ana and I'm sick of this playerbase.
Pick another fucking character you little niggers.

>Why are people playing the most casual FPS of the past 10 years?

Yeah, we all know casual games are not popular at all.

I play it because my IRL friends only play Smash games, MOBAs, and Overwatch.

I have played shooters all of my life, starting with Quake 3 when I was 10 with my dad, and I LOVE TF2. Love it to death, played it since '08 on PS3 because we were too poor to get a pc that could run it on launch and I finally got a pc for it in '12. My friends hate it and won't touch it unless it's my birthday.

When Overwatch was being betastreamed in '15, I was all over it because it was finally an FPS that my friends would play with me.

Most games are meant to be played for fun and entertainment, if that's something that angers you I suggest maybe avoiding Sup Forums for a while.

People have fun with it.
Challenge not always means fun, and ease doesn't always mean bore either.

I find anything other than ranked a complete borefest though, people get mad all the same but they at least try to work together in ranked and that makes for much more interesting matches.

This game doesn't have the TF2 fun potential for fucking around and chilling, it's only good when played seriously.

>This game doesn't have the TF2 fun potential for fucking around and chilling
Good, it will kill off a huge amount of cancer.

Oh, don't get me wrong. I'm not saying it shouldn't be played as it's meant to. I agree that's where the fun is.

Thing is, people tend to go full autism on competitive, at least in my experience. And your team will get seriously fucked if any cry baby decides to leave and that just kinda kills it.

If people decide to work with each other, any game mode is great and there will be no difference between quick and comp. And this goes back to the whole "shitty player base" syndrome any game with a big player base suffers.

And comparing present day TF2 is a bit unfair, since it's almost 10 years old and thats a lot of updates and shit added to the game. OW is still pretty void of content right now.

>Why are people playing the most casual FPS of the past 10 years ?
Because TF2 is stale and mismanaged, Paladins doesn't interest me, and lol Battleborn.

It's alright. The balancing is trash and the the maps waste a lot of space, but I get enough enjoyment out of Pharah and D.Va to farm a loot box or two every other day.

>And comparing present day TF2 is a bit unfair
I wasn't saying a more focused game design is a bad thing, I grew bored of TF2 a long time ago after all.
It's just that people tend to compare the two which isn't only unfair but completely dumb, TF2 was never competitive in design which isn't necessarily a bad thing.

> Why do people like what I don't like?
It's ok user, when you'll grow older you'll realize people can and do have different opinion from you. Feel free to label them as casuals or morons if it helps maintain your self esteem (and let's be honest, it does)

>The game itself is fine and is quite fun
>playing the same heroes every time in small and primitive maps are fun

the map sizes work for the teams' size
as for the meta, fuck it
play QP or arcade and have fun

>the map sizes work for the teams' size
Nope, it work for console babies, who cannot into Valve shooters.
>play QP or arcade and have fun
The game claming to be esport, so fuck off.

You'll never reach that level user, why care about a meta that only makes sense for players you'll never play with or against?

>OW
>level
Blizz, pls

Same with Paladins, this genre is shit

Why don't people accept that this game will forever be an inferior esport game to csgo?

>play QP or arcade and have fun
Arcade is shit.

>6v6 No Limits
There's too many people sticking to the meta, and a few of those who don't will bog your team down with TF2-tier stupidity(team has two Widowmakers on attack, we lose, they blame the tank for not "protecting" them). D.Va rushing wins. Three Symmetras on defense wins.

>3v3 Deathmatch
Roadhog breaks this shit so badly. He can one-shot almost everyone AND heal himself.

>1v1
See: Roadhog

>Whatever mode it is with the Doomfist icon
It's always the Lucio and Reinhardt clusterfuck.

Playing this crap for the weekly boxes is a complete chore.

Blizzard needs to replace leavers with a bot for fucks sake.
Bots may suck, but it's a better bandaid than literally nothing.

>Whatever mode it is with the Doomfist icon
>It's always the Lucio and Reinhardt clusterfuck.
>not Pharmercy

This game is shit. My cousins play this shitfest because it's from Blizzard.

They're WoW fanatics.

This game reminds me of TF2 without hats.

Porn, sex sells and blizzard knows it.

They also did one of the oldest marketing tricks there is "here is a cake" "you cannot have this cake" = pretending to crack down on porn.

>This game reminds me of TF2 without hats.

What's this pic supposed to be showing?

Your image is bullshit. You're comparing a 3-stage payload map and a 1-stage 2-point CP map. There's also quite a bit of area pictured around the borders of Goldrush that's walled-off background scenery. To top it all off, those birds-eye views aren't even in scale with each other.

>immature little shits like babyqueer games like overwatch
nobody is suprised except the parents who expected more from their son

Boy, Nintendo must've put some fear in you for you to spam this trash.
