Is Overwatch Dead?

Where is the community for this game?
I get lots of games where:
1.) No one speaks English
2.) No one uses the voice chat
3.) Text chat filled with spamming and irrelevant call outs like ultimate is ready from torbjorn
4.) SR gain is wildly inconsistent, I get +20-27 SR per win as Mercy and Lucio and Winston but only +10-18 SR per win as Pharah, McCree, D.VA, and Zarya
5.) Poor game balance, Blizzard buffing heroes that were already strong like Junkrat and nerfing heroes that are balanced like D.VA

Is it time to put the final nail in the coffin for Overwatch?

bump

No, fuck off

God finally this game is ded!
Played in the release and always said its gonna be one month before I quit playing it.

>Is Overwatch Dead?
No. Now fuck off.

>Blizzard buffing heroes that were already strong like Junkrat and nerfing heroes that are balanced like D.VA

No.

I get on Overwatch to have fun and dick around as a mobile robot turret, not to get serious. Perhaps most others feel the same?

>Blizzard buffing heroes that were already strong like Junkrat and nerfing heroes that are balanced like D.VA
Found the bait!

Isn't D.Va overly strong due to her special that lets her blow up the entire team at once with little effort?

They're all playing PUBG, far away from blizzard's retarded balancing schemes.

No, D.VA was "OP" because of her Defense Matrix, or so her detractors falsely claim. It is a skillful ability that negates all projectiles and enemy fire in a cone of about 10 metres in front of her. It has a limited duration and has to be used wisely, she can't just hold it down and permanently negate enemy fire. Skilled use of it involves "feathering" the key and managing the resource bar its tied to.

D.VA's special was never the problem its damage is high but you can hide behind walls, other players, or otherwise just run away from it as the damage decreases with distance. Its only an instakill up close.

I work at best buy and have stolen 15 copies of Overwatch.

>Friend asked me last night of Overwatch is unbalanced

I really don't understand, since release i've always had to wait atleast a minute to find a game in ANY mode. Fucking dead steam games with 1000 concurrent players are faster than that.

You sheeple should have realized by now, that you play with Ais that learned how to mimic average player behaviour with years of datamining.

>Is Overwatch Dead?
No but all the actually good multiplayer games are.

try to play it outside of a third world country, that solves 4/5 of your problems

Are you playing on console? Because nobody talks on PS4. But I get talkers in about 90% of my games on PC...

The game is attempting to give you a game with solid ping and a 50% chance to win. That's worth waiting a minute. I only have to wait longer than a minute if I'm I'm a 3 to 5-stack.

Overwatch isn't dead. Ask this question again in 5 years. Seriously

I support this game so the r34 community can keep up the good work.

I Know it's far from dead, still it's slower than the most games and it has so many players. Should be able to make it faster atleast in the casual modes

Comp is dead

Blame Blizzard's convoluted matchmaking algorythms. They want you to keep losing so you break down andmbuy that victory loot crate.

nice thread Randy

spotted the goldscrub

>skillful

I love how D.Va mains think that DM before the nerf was something that required any sort of resource management.
The up-time was crazy for what it does and as long as you weren't a complete retard, you were never without it.

The ability was overpowered. Get over it.

Where is the majority of the community consoles or pc?

1.) No one speaks English
2.) No one uses the voice chat
Stop playing in Europe my man.

It's all about battleborn

*2% chance if you're playing Arcade with a loot unlock

>Blizzard buffing heroes that were already strong like Junkrat and nerfing heroes that are balanced like D.VA

FUCK RIGHT OFF. No one wanted more brain less spam but D.Va was beyond cancer. Being able to shut down most of the cast with one fucking button was the most retarded character decision in the entire game. Unlike shooting a Rein shield, or breaking down Orisa's shit you can see your making a different, D.Va just outright negates everything and thats not fun to play into or as. Its fucking boring, shes fucking boring. Now its going to be even worse because now you can suicide facefuck while shitting out rockets and firing at the sametime.

Fuck D.Va.

I just think that matchmaking is garbage kinda. It tries too hard to give you a "perfect" match which ends up being bullshit anyway.

My problem with OW came about the time I realized just how central Ults were to every part of the game. In the first few months of the game it was a blast as people were still figuring shit out and battles were a terrifically unoptimized mess, but gradually everyone came to realize that if you go into a fight with 4 ultimates and the enemy team only has 3, your team is virtually guaranteed to win. Suddenly your whole strategy changes--the moment you start to lose a fight, you want to die as quickly as possible to deny the most ult charge you can. Force an enemy who already has full charge to kill you, or jump off a cliff if you have too--the only way to regain momentum for the next fight is to have more ult charge up for your team than for the enemy. It also means that ulting to save yourself or pick off one or two stray enemies is almost worthless because death timers are incredibly short and spawn gates are way too close to objectives, so if you're not wiping the enemy team on every engagement you're basically just wasting time.

Overwatch is a fun game if you don't know how to play it, but Blizzard shit the bed for players who want to be competitive and competent.

I can hear Jeff From The Overwatch team right now talking about how he wants the game to be "nonstop fun" and for ultimates to "make everyone feel like a superhero" when they press Q, but if Blizzard ever actually watched one of the Pixar films they're so clearly trying to ape, they'd know the most important rule of balance:

When everybody's super--nobody is.

I don't think Overwatch will ever truly die since its a Blizzard game
They'll always be a player base there but I do feel its definitely dropping.

>When everybody's super(except Orisa)--nobody is.

My main problem with the game is not really the game itself its more how seriously people take the game. OW is a complete fucking mess when it comes to balance and game modes. 2CP is fucked, the current season is a complete mess. The games simply does not work all that well as an exciting balanced competitive game.

Whats even worse is that theres not even anywhere within the game thats not infested with comp players taking everything to heart. Every game in QP has a golden gun Widow and Hanzo because neither would ever dare to attempt to play in Comp. The Arcade is half filled with people wanting to have fun with the different character and because of being tied to loot boxes that refresh every week 2-3 stacks of tryhards ruining it for everyone else.

Deathmatch is awful. Blizzard still have not and will not fix the fucked up SR gains and losses.

everything you said has nothing to do with the game being dead
get fucked in the ass fuccboi

Should Doomfist get a punch reset on an elim just like fuck face the ninja?

It would change his gameplay from punch, upper then fling yourself back to your team to hang around until all the cooldowns are off. When two of your offensive moves are mainly used to get you out of trouble things are not all that well put together.

I agree, we should move on into something more cool

This would be the case if ultimates were balanced which they aren't. Two Blizzards will beat seven Barrages any day.

I'd say it's way closer to 100,000 total active peak players than 35 gorillion. not dead, but dying, because it's devs are fucking retarded and keep catering to the FPS crowd for relevancy.

>breaking orisa shield
>making a difference
She'll just put it up again.

What? Didn't you hear that it has 30 MILLION PLAYERS DUDE?

No, genji should lose his dash reset

overwatch was the most fun during release since it wasn't full of tryhards
