      Game is already too far gone. Most of the team that made it is has moved on to other things, among them the ones that actually cared about delivering a fun/interesting product and not just a money making machine (Kaplan, Chu, etc.). I want to believe Aaron Keller wants to do this too, but with the absolute fiasco that was Blizzard at the time of the scandal, he's basically working with an entirely new team that is nowhere nearly as invested in the game. And we already know Activision/Blizzard's management and its now parent company, Microsoft, only care about the bottom line. If he really cares, he's fighting a war on his own, and we might as well just call it a "last stand" then. Even if they reverted everything back to what Overwatch was in its first 2 years. People have already lost interest and their trust in the company. And like Flats said towards the end of the video, it would be just a PR nightmare, like when they announced the story mode was scrapped.

  • @torgishness

    People are complaining about overpriced skins when the real problem is that those overpriced skins are all we get, like as a F2P player what do you really get? What is there to do? Play a map I see every thirty games? Events that only last 3 weeks? It’s not new content if it’s gone by the time you get to it yknow, and even if it isn’t it’s not like I can do anything with it but look pretty. Plus all the challenges are always just “play some games”, like you can’t come up with anything more creative? New modes are cool but those are temporary too. What are you left with after all the temporary stuff is over? Overwatch 2. Is that really what you want? New heroes are the only thing I’m even slightly interested in, but seeing how the Venture launch went it doesn’t seem like Blizzard is putting much backing into what is arguably their most cared about content. Like holy hell Blizzard, you said you needed some time but it’s been years at this point. You’re one of the biggest gaming companies on the planet, and are now owned by one of the biggest tech companies on the planet, and yet you can barely compete with indie studios in terms of both effort and output. Pathetic. Wasn’t meant to be a rant but MAN I just wish this game could be good. End rant.

    • @SnivyTries
      @SnivyTries 5 дней назад +15

      That's...actually a really good point. There's nothing for people to go for when you refuse to spend money on the game. Every season it's just "here's like 1 blue skin in the free battle pass, but it's for a hero you don't play", the collabs and events are all paid skins only, and we still don't have a fixed, permanent mode that awards anything aside from comp, and we can't play comp because balance is FUCKED.
      You know what would have fixed everything, Blizzard? PvE.

    It truly is a dark age in OW right now. My main account was banned for mass report for falsely using hacks. Meanwhile, the game is filled with real Hackers/Cheaters.
    The game doesn't really progress in any direction. No new content, no new lore, no real balance, it's just a "who is broken this season" roulette, and that's it. And be honest, skins are always a 6 out of 10 at best. And people here who have played from OW1, know the real potential. We know how big this game can be and how well this can do, but it just isn't, it's stale and it's been rotting for a while till it really becomes TF2 for real this time.

    Flats becoming a variety streamer is what I've wanted for him since OW2 got the decapitating news about PvE. Not to be too hyperbolic, but EVERYONE I played OW with (including myself) was so excited for OW2 PvE and when they announced the scrapping of it, we all just stopped playing. I honestly think PvE was what kept a decent amount of OW1 players in OW2. When it went away, so did we. Hope the best for the future of your channel and career flats.

      Overwatch is like an immortal being who keeps dying for fun, but all it would take is someone coming along and actually disposing of the remains so it doesnt reanimated, and that's what is finally happening, we have legit games with the same gameplay loops coming in as the games dying again, and all it would take is concord having that same feel where you have holistic kits rather than swappable weps like valorant, or marvel rivals having that same chaotic feel to finally put a nail in that coffin, I mean were all sitting here laughing at more ow killers but how many times can you look death in the face and survive? Everything has its limits and theres legitimate reason to be concerned on this ow death cycle.
      I mean concord is litterally appealing to the LGBTQ community just like overwatch, its driving home that'll have lore drops alot in game, it legitimately could be the game to finally leave ow in the dust.

    Overwatch 2 lacks skill expression. In Overwatch skill was rewarded, in Overwatch a plat dps could jump on his friend's gold account and get him up to plat in a matter of hours, wiping the floor with 90 percent of the games he played in gold, in overwatch 2 a plat dps can jump on a friend's gold account and do a little more damage.
    In Overwatch skill expression was not making mistakes, spotting the enemy's mistakes and then having the mechanics to punish their errors, in Overwatch 2 skill expression is doing your role's job with efficiency.
    Mistakes in this game are not punishable in the same way they were in Overwatch 1.
    In Overwatch a moira pops ult and pushes forward too far, she's dead.
    In Overwatch 2 a moira pops ult and pushes forward too far, she fades out.
    Almost every hero in the game has had their kit in some way dumbed down to allow them to get themselves or others out of their own mistakes.
    This is why the game doesn't feel rewarding to play.
    Blizzard has hard focused on this idea that humans feel negatives more than they feel positives and decided the best way to take the negative emotions out of the game is to remove dying, remove numbered sr, remove showing other people's ranks in games, remove player borders. They've sanitised the game to the point where it is numb to play.

      i don't think it's right to apply this single-player sequel releases logic to a live service / only-multiplayer game, and even if someone did pick it up, it'd be just 20$ and probably quite a bit of disappointment. Making a sequel was a pr stunt, and it worked in the sense that it spread the information to a wider audience, many have tried it after the release of 2, and got experience with an actually updating game instead of what it was in late 2019 - early 2022. Which, with all of it's downfalls, means at least they're getting fresh stuff into the player's hands and minds, and that keeps a lot of folks coming back to it from time to time.

    I think it’s pretty obvious blizzard (and Microsoft as the boss) really doesn’t care about this game. They don’t put in the resources needed to fix the game and the only effort they put in is what they can monetize (skins and emotes and battle passes.) The game is being abandoned just like ow1 but the only difference is blizzard can just BARELY keep the game alive because a store exists. This entire sequel was nothing but a swindle to justify a store page. They have an excuse to abandon the game because they can just farm skins and event passes and not really put in any effort to fix the game. It’s exactly like OW1, just with a store page. Legitimate scam.

    Overwatch is that toxic "friend" that you've had for so long that you don't want to dump them because you remember how good things used to be. They drip feed you hope to keep you around just for things to never change, at some point we got to wake up and realize things have been bad for a lot longer than they were good.
    Also just do 6v6 at this point, a lot of the new maps are pretty open and have less chokepoints so it wouldn't be as oppressive, on top of that just slowly rework the older maps so they are more open which would also just be refreshing in general.

And Mauga his change is simpler than you think. (Obviously all tanks would get a health nerf) Mauga's overdrive wouldn't work on allys, only for himself and maybe tone down the numbers. Unfortunately all we can do is talk in hypotheticals because we can't change the game. Regarding game balance, I do think Samito is very spot on with his balance takes. Zarya was always a balanced character in OW1, same with Reinhardt, Winston, Dva, but only now they started struggling against eachother (E.g. Dva into Zarya, or Winston into Dva). Tanks need to have counterplay, but in OW2 it forces tanks to need to do everything or they get left behind.

      6v6, better hero balancing, more creative designs for maps and heroes, more battlepass XP or a loot box system return, less expensive skins because a bundle of blue skins costs $20, remove flashpoint, add more special event modes back to back, more hero mastery challenges, and better matchmaking would all be nice to have.

    The game feels like an "AFK" type mobile game. It plays itself basically and is just a deathmatch where the abilities battle it out, not the players. I don't know the last time I got killed by something and thought "sht, they got me fffff ahh nice shot tho". I remember in OW 1 when I got killed by something it was almost always because of a deliberate decision by the enemy player and almost always something I looked at and then thought "damn, I should have seen that coming" or "should have looked for that fckk". I don't ever feel like I get beaten by other players and their decisionmaking or plays, but just by the heroes and their abilities and that's just frustratingly stupid.

    I started playing OW2 about 6 months ago and so far I’ve been having a great time with it. I struggle watching videos like these because no one (neither in the video itself or the comments) is ever specific on why the game is “dying”. I don’t have that perspective because I’m so new. It’s disheartening to hear everyone bashing it (while still continuing to play) without giving specific reasons why. In fact I find it quite frustrating. Outside looking in, all I see is a bunch of people stuck in the past unwilling to accept change.

  • @robertbrittliff5939
    @robertbrittliff5939 5 дней назад +3

    The issue is that early overwatch characters were defined by their key weakness. This meant you needed to build a team that worked and then play around the weaknesses to succeed. This made the game interesting and engaging. Then they tried to make each character “viable” in all comps and on all maps and ended up making hero’s / reworking hero’s with no (or at least less distinguishable) weaknesses. The result is that instead of interesting matchups where the counter is to the way you want your play it has become a stats arms race. This impacts the tank role most heavily because there is only 1, so they all needed a to be reworked and have either been reworked and joined the arms race or are left behind. Then to deal with the giga tanks the dps switch to tank busters…. Misery ensues

      I think the whole "tank can't have fun" stuff is really only relevant if you're in the highly optimized lobbies or if you are consistently queuing at your peak skill. Otherwise, you might just be bad. I used to get deleted and it'd be a bit frustrating but that was when I was very new (ow2 was the first fps that clicked with me so I'm new to the genre) and had less control of cooldowns, cover, and general awareness. I've gotten better at that stuff so I get to do more now. I also learned a lot about tank from playing other roles. My Sigma play became way better when I was learning kiriko and getting to see good vs bad Sigma play.
      Edit: this is just my experience. If you like paladins, that's cool. You just asked why people play he game and I'm providing my input. The game is fun and while tank could be more fun, it's usually not a bad experience for me and when it is, there are way more things at play than "tank role sucks".

    Personally overwatch is still stimulating for me, thought it can get boring after a few hours. I’m a casual player and haven’t played the game that much so part of it is just me getting the chances to learn and see more a less a new game each time. I enjoy being able to switch up the play style between support dps and tank every game, and if I get more bored I can play an arcade game, but I still enjoy it a lot. I play it because I’m not great at fps games, and I’ve already learned a lot about the games strategy and stuff so I don’t want to switch. Plus most other games feel a little more dull ironically. Since I’ve seen flats talk about (and I agree) that overwatch rarely has as many changes, and should if it wants to keep up the retention of the players. (This was on that podcast.

      in fairness, that's literally any company. there are a few truly community-first companies but those also tend not to last very long or tend to be smaller in scope. I've said this a lot but the best decision for the people who are unhappy is to just stop engaging with the game all together. Stop playing. Stop engaging with the content. Stop bringing it up. It's the only way to make your voice heard and it's probably best for your mental health.
      If enough people show apathy and the player base is actually harmed, blizzard either just takes the game out back or they do more drastic changes (like ow1 to ow2). Whinging in comment sections does little. just remove the game from your life and make blizzard earn its place back in.

      @@Lee-fw5bd Kind of a backwards attitude though, but that's common in the younger generations.
      Silence solves nothing, and by staying silent we're simply giving them the impression that everything is fine and that we agree with everything they do.
      Companies want to make money, but when their managers are destroying the franchise, they won't be making much money out of it in the end, especially long term. As a F2P game, they rely far more on the cash shop than people actually playing the game, buying loot boxes every now and then.
      I sometimes wish the game had a subscription service, like i wish most FPS titles would have.
      They need to fire the current managers and hire people who are actually passionate about gaming and listening to the majority of the community, because these managers, are not listening to the actual community whatsoever. They use numbers and raw data to decide, which is just a terrible way of doing things. A mix of both is good but strictly sticking to numbers is just bad for the game and bad for us as players.

      @@Splashbang_OW This isn't a generation thing. It's literally the only way capitalism works. Silence is different than what i suggested. Silence is continuing to play the game and just not doing anything. I told you to stop playing and engaging. that isn't silence. that's voting with your wallet.
      you seem to have fallen for the trap of "awareness". Lots of people have but it's a trap. Being loud does little since you're still giving blizzard what they want: a player base that will continue to keep their IP in the zeitgeist. It doesn't matter if you're loud and upset. They still win because your outrage continues to alert people that the game exists. They still win because you continue to play. If you want your voice heard, stop playing and stop engaging. Like I said, if you keep trying to beg Blizzard to listen to you but do nothing to indicate that you're not going to leave, they won't listen. Make them work for your attention.
      That isn't silence and it's crazy that someone managed to trick you into thinking that constantly feeding a company what it wants, attention and players, but just being annoying about it is good consumer behavior. A responsible consumer votes with their wallet. In the live service ecosystem, your wallet includes your time and effort. Stop giving it to them if you don't like the game.

    Im bronze, and ive seen so many smurfs and cheaters, queued up today got a soft aimbot? (Not sure bout that one) and a wall hacking bad soldier on the enemy team and my team got mad at me saying "maybe they just know what their doing" no no they dont they run till a corner and then directly shoots you cause he follows where you are through the wall. Not to mention my dps continued played sombra and tracer against a soldier, mercy, bastion and hog/rein (pretty sure sombra noticed they stayed with team after dieing on first flank immediately) ...ive also been told by a mauga on my team at the end that "mercy wins games", after i had to switch off mercy to do more healing and be able to defend myself cause getting dived while he ran in everytime and took no cover 😂
