Why does the majority of Sup Forums Hate Overwatch?

Why does the majority of Sup Forums Hate Overwatch?

I have been playing it since June and I love it, maybe didn't deserve GOTY though.

As a side note.

I main this qt

gets boring after a month

Personally, I don't hate it, but I find it to be extremely overrated, similar to Nier, Dark Souls, Persona series, etc. All those are enjoyable games, of course, just like OW.

Why though?

Popular =/= Overrated

It gets boring fast and it's clearly designed with a focus on getting people hooked and spending money to unlock the skins.. also the game isn't deep at all and there's only like 4 modes to play.

It's casual mobashit.

Because it's popular and casuals like it, so automatically Sup Forums hates it. It's not very deep, but it's not like Sup Forums actually plays "skill" games either, this morning there has been like 5 OW bitching threads, but zero Quake threads.

Wait, what? I refer to countless threads here and everywhere claiming that, say, Dark Souls is the epitome of RPG genre, and Nier is GOTY, and Overwatch redefined FPS. This is called overrated. I do not question their popularity, in fact, I think that it's mostly warranted.

I swear, Sup Forums has becoming less and less thoughtful.

the scum of the game

Because it's a simplified FPS made by a shit company with no experience with this type of games, the characters are all annoying and made to pander to mentally ill groups of people and it's a team based online game, so it's automatically trash.

This.

It's so easy to troll people who play Overwatch, that everyone thinks Sup Forums hates it.

Sup Forums is just lazy when it comes to trolling now, so they obviously go for the low-hanging fruit.

Like how both threads use the Moba argument, tell me HOW is overwatch a classic Moba/Dotalike when its clearly an FPS has no creeps no items and no throne to destroy?

He is the best hero

For me, the lack of a single player campaign really demonstrates how shallow Overwatch is. I don't like the animations for the reloading of the guns, the weight feels off too. I dislike Superheroes using guns mostly. I played Overwatch for about half an hour but it just was so boring and a chore to play because of the cartoonish physics and character models, etc.With the exception of one or two minor aspects of one or two costumes the designs are mostly shitty uninspired 2nd rate garbage.

It's TF2 but worse. Well worse than TF2 when TF2 was good. I feel like they should have gone more MOBA and had pick bans. Instead everyone just plays the same 6 dudes every game.

If you wanted to play a single player campaign why don't you play a single player game?

Because I am deeply disappointed my my lovely, little anons having such horrible taste.
I only get angry because I love you and care about you.

It's too simple.

Tried it for about 2 hours on the free weekend. Its just an uninspired team fortress where everybody has a kill everything is sight button. Also, the ult charge being preserved upon death is a really bad decision.

he says, before returning to his handheld waifu game

pick any game ever and there is somebody at some point who will say it is the epitome of RPG and GOTY and redefined FPS

it just happens more with popular games because they're discussed more in general

Stop making jew cosmetics and put more gametypes in. I also feel that its kind of gimmicky in a way. Also you get bored of it super quick.

It's too popular

played beta , finally got an invite from some lucky fucker like last minute, immediately fucking hated everything about it, knew in my bones it was complete shit and absolute trash

but then everyone praising it for fucking MONTHS i finally caved, its still fucking trash.

trying to get backl into it and give it another chance but fuck man, its so awful.

theres like 1 game mode
the new classes are badly designed, look ugly, and all the new shit is SJW as fuck with muslim talking about how she's on a watch list in dialog on a map


there are a FEW redeeming qualities, some of the heroes core mechanics are fun and rewarding

but the core game of 24/7 push maps is asinine basic and made for casual plebs who tunnel vision
theres a reason why ctf isnt a core game mode

this

you play the SAME FUCKING MAPS over and fucking OVER and its SUPER FUCKING BORING.

that being said:

if they fucking added a MAP MAKER, then we wouldn't have this fucking issue. but that is something that only 90s FPS can do, so it ain't happening now.

No, not like it happened with Dark Souls. Mock "media" outlets as much as you want, but DS was consistently getting praised beyond imagination in terms of all RPG aspects attributable and non-attributable to DS. You might not care about "gaming" ""journos"", but it shapes the industry, the perception of the investors, the understanding of the casual gamers.

No discussion, as you might imply, lead to basically cementing the redefined vision of RPGs. Same shit happened with "open world", it got a completely different and distorted meaning. And here you will be arguing that "pick any design structure ever and there is somebody at some point.. "

Ults and healers were a mistake
6v6 is too small. Need some 10v10 and 12v12 servers with appropriate maps
No server browsers
Too many heroes that only do 1 thing well
Counterpicks

Except there's literally nothing wrong with this, since handhelds and handheld games are designed to be played casually and on the go.
They also don't have you grinding for lootboxes or acting like a raging autist for not being able to control your butthurt. Please think before you post for once, user.

>be tracer
>recall
>Go back in time right into his trap
It's like junkmains can look exactly into the past sometimes.

just like any mobashit game
there is nothing new about the game because they would rather shit out cosmetics
they could just release a map maker but then that would take away an excuse to stop making maps of their own
a full year and they released less content than an indie dev does

the community is shit its either a bunch of cry babies that have to play their main hero and don't reason or some reddit memer that spouts memes in chat

why is it so flat? the asses look like fucking 2d
if youre gonna spend 9000 hours in ms paint, atleast learn how to shade

Because it's popular

>ctf isn't core

because its ALREADY broken with a character that can translocate across the map WITH the fucking flag

that shit didn't happen in fucking Unreal Tournament. you tried to TP you drop the flag.

Why do people almost never pick healers?

because they can't show off their cool cosmetics in play of the game as a healer

>takes away an excuse
i meant gives them an excuse

Sup Forums just has some irrational hateboner for blizzard, you can tell all of them are just buttdevastated their shitty $500 collections of WH40K models will never be as mainstream or successful as blizzard has been.

the people saying its too easy or too casual are probably lying through their teeth too. The game is certainly easy to pick up, but every cunt that I've played with from here one way or another has been absolute garbage.

There's a few kinds of people, OP.

1. People who hate anything popular.
2. People who played it and are now dissatisfied with the direction it's taking.
3. Butthurt TF babbies.
4. Old school UT/Quake vets who think it's just another casual shooter in a long line of casual shooters cheapening the genre.

I did, that's why I only played Overwatch for half an hour and it sucked for the reasons I already mentioned not just lack of single player.

I appreciate that answer because thats pretty fucking accurate user

5. People who enjoy actually good video games and disagree with blatant casualization and MOBA-ization of every single new game that comes out

that sounds like #3

>MOBA-ization of every single new game that comes out
Like what?

2, i guess i expect too much from a moba shit

h a n d h e l d w a i f u g a m e

Sorry, kiddo, but I also hate TF2 since they jumped the shark with their memetastic cosmetics.

It's too casual, there's very little that separates the god-tier players from the merely decent.

I get that that's something someone might want but that shit just ain't for me.

It's not a moba. I'm convinced that people who say that are either baiting or don't play video games.

The combination of slow as fuck move speed and lack of content made me drop it.

The retarded children that populate the community was icing on the cake. You get people that
>Wont risk a death to contest or make an important kill whatsoever
>Don't chase Mercy down or kill healers in general
>Attempt to boss around their teammates or wont at least try to keep team morale neutral

And it's to a worse degree than games of the past.

But sometimes I wanna play a non healer just because it's fun. But no. Everyone's too good for healslut

I played it for the first time during the recent free weekend.

It was literally trash tier

S-so what? It's not like those so-called 'handheld waifu games' are the only ones I enjoy. Please stop hurting my feelings or I might have to resort to calling you a casual mobashitter.

I think you are trolling

buy it for me and i'll tell you why i hate it

This. Senran PBS is still better.

>Attempt to boss around their teammates or wont at least try to keep team morale neutral
That's why i stopped playing it, i always find that the people who do the most bossing around are generally the worst in the team. I had enough of retards telling me who i can and cannot use when they're running around with a DPS with no kills.

I don't pay for lootboxes, I don't really grind (I play a few games of competitive with my friends every night) and I don't rage (I try to pump up the team in chat with positive remarks only).

But I think people pretending to be an anime character on the internet are pathetic. Turn your life around, user.

It gets boring after 10-20 matches and all the maps and gamemodes are unbalanced garbage.

>The retarded children that populate the community was icing on the cake

>doing 1v1 on the arcade
>really tough fighting with the other guy
>end up losing, but the matches were so good i'm about to hit the gg
>before i manage to type anything, his "gg ez" gets filtered
>immediately starts spamming "ez" like 20 times
>then yells something in some 3rd world language
>mfw

This is when I realized I might be getting too old for video games.

Simple. They suck at the game.

call of duty one of the most casual shooters has more content and more fluent gameplay than this game and people still eat it up because its blizzard classes in shooters was a mistake

Your problem is using Sup Forums as any sort of control group or reference for anything. It is the same grouup of jaded, cynic, sour and self-centered pricks shitposting every single time.

You should only be here for the banter and shitposting, not to be informed or make poll the industry.

Fluid. The word you're looking for is fluid.

they're insanely triggered that it's popular and made by activision blizzard

>playing a game for retards like you mean it
>bragging about being better than the other retards
user, this is not an accomplishment.

I wouldn't even feel bad about saying Cowadoody has more skill based gameplay than Overwatch.

Whatever helps you sleep at night scrub.

>It's too casual, there's very little that separates the god-tier players from the merely decent

Found the guy who never went below 2000 or beyond 3700 SR.

I don't even play this moba.

I play this game just as a time dump, nothing more. Competitively, this game is absolute trash. Anyone taking this game seriously is an absolute retard. This game is one word and one word only: cancer.

Every single character in the game is cancer, some more so than others obviously (*COUGH* ROADHOG *COUGH*) along with Junkrat and Hanzo.

It's sorta fun to just fuck around in, but I find it very funny how all the esports orgs are pretty much just staying away from it. Like they know that blizz can't balance for shit even though they have been in this sorta crap for plenty of time.

It's just cancer and barely amounts to anything more as just another time dump. And the casualization is so fucking obvious with everyone having their get-out-of-jail-free cards (looking at you Tracer you fucking dyke.)

It's just basically ass with more and more ass on top of it.

>thinks he is good with below 3900 SR
3900 is where the real competition is.

>i-it's not casual, i-i swear
Nigga even the pros have been saying it's extremely casual, stop deluding yourself.

Real competition doesn't start until 4k pleb

Because its cashcow lootbox simulator that is inherently flawed due to gameplay revolving around ultimates, abilities with cooldowns and having hard CC's. Not to mention the community is shit and overwatch is Inferior to TF2 in every conceivable way (except as a waifusimulator).

Plus this:
Personally i havent touched TF2 in years and to be honest the only worthwhile FPS on the market with good tactical depth is Rainbow 6: Siege. Its the only modern FPS with ACTUAL long-term potential and it could become an amazing game if ubishit delivers with the operation health.

>here and everywhere
Not just Sup Forums or even Sup Forums, I mean local forums of RPG aficionados, reddit, RPGWatch, even fucking Codex of all places! And I also monitored the comments to articles and youtube videos, it is not as an unsubstantiated claim as you might think.

How long has Sup Forums been this stupid?

>r6 siege
>tactical depth

Maybe if you're new to the game. High elo consists of rushing to get spawn peeks as 3 speed 1 armor chars, or rushing in as ash with 3 speed 1 armor and getting peeks with glaz.

Whoever takes advantage of the ridiculous peeker's advantage wins. People changing regions, intentionally lagging. Siege is so riddled with bugs "esports ready" is a popular meme.

Even cawaduty search and destroy takes more skill than siege.

OWfags literally have no argument why their game is good, that's why they always bring up the waifushit
when they bring up waifushit you know they got nothing else left

I said 3900 specifically because at 3900 you start getting multiple grandmasters on your matches frequently.

>(of speech, language, movement, or style) smoothly graceful and easy.
"his style of play was fast and fluent"

Who needs arguments when you have metrics. GOTY and extremely popular. Sucks to suck don't it.

>dotards calling other people cancer

I'm hearing a lot of misdirected anger on this board. I think Sup Forums is being overly contrarian here. I get it, it has nice colours, panders to SJWs with Tracer and shit being a lesbian and it's accessible, but it's good fun.

I've got back into it recently and have to tip my hat at the game. 3v3 is a quality game mode when you have friends - really tense, tactical and the addition of maps like the Black forest are excellent.

Also, there are a few extra maps adding diversity to the game modes on offer and it's really good. I like the chunky feel to the guns on people like Reaper, Hanzo is fun to play and Mei is just a cool and well constructed champion.

I dunno guys, I think you're being overly harsh somewhat. I myself hate Junktwat - cancerous.

But Roadhog has been nerfed and his hooks even if they hit dont always come off as successful.

>It's sorta fun to just fuck around in, but I find it very funny how all the esports orgs are pretty much just staying away from it. Like they know that blizz can't balance for shit even though they have been in this sorta crap for plenty of time.

This post was so bad it almost gave me cancer.

>shit waifus
>shit artstyle
>microtransactions out the ass
>updates consist of more microtransaction skins instead of actual content
>shoehorned moba features
>shoehorned esports cancer despite horrible balance issues
>zero skill required, the only "skill" needed is to know when to press q
>every character keeps spouting 9gag tier memes whenever you activate one of their abilities
It's not even a bad game, it's casual and fun. The 'people' who fell for the competitive meme, however, make the community seem really pathetic and laughable, propably rightfully so.

Matchmaking sucks fucking ass, forced 50 was a mistake.

I like it otherwise.

OW reminds me of all the bad things WoW PVP used to have, combined into one. All the nastiness that is battleground and arena. Now with lootboxes instead of deterministic rewards! Even if you get your High Warlord / Gladiator title of the season, you feel filthy having to dip yourself in that cesspool of dirt.

What a shitty post. I can't believe you wasted time writing this garbage.

you forgot the shitty story, how that story don't make sense in gameplay, and that they designed stereotypical one dimensional characters first and then tried to make a story revolving them and their quirk

forced 50 is a meme, it just means you stop trying to improve
i went from 3k to 5k in dota that wouldn't happen with forced 50

name 1 thing wrong with their post

Everything

>shitty story
I didn't even know there was a story, other than blatant sjw pandering in the form of making the characters canonically gay and transgender through some lazily done webcomic.

Because it's fun, and all the people that consistently play it agree.

But those people that concistently play it and agree are 14-15 year old kids who still go to school and can't afford many video games.

Ok let's be 100% honest here. It is a moba. It's a Mutilplayer Online Battle Arena game. It's 2 teams that go up against each other, filled with heros/classes/champions that all have Abilties and an Ultimate, and it follows a strict meta that's been established. Also there are skins for every champion/hero/class.

It has everything that mobas like Dota2 and League of Legends have. It's a moba.

>user in charge of reading comprehension

Lets try that again:
>it could become an amazing game if ubishit delivers with the operation health.
Got it this time?

And no, call of duty, battlefields and any other point-and-click adventure FPS's barely take any skill and have very low barrier of entry. I have 500h in siege and only plateauing around mid-plat with a group of friends and im still learning all the time. If operation health delivers on all accounts (which i doubt) most of the problems the game has will be gone.

Only other FPS's in recent years that have kept my interest for more than 100h have been Arma 2 and 3.

I don't know what's worse, the people who shit on it even though it's obvious they've never played it or the people who defend it like a fucking autist and refuse to admit that it has flaws.

Probably the latter, nothing more cancerous than a rabid fanboy.
