I'm going to be absolutely slaughtered for this, but I wish that Blizzard took all of the resources that they put into PVE into The Workshop and a map editor instead. There is quite literally endless potential to be found in this engine if players were given more of the tools they needed to create more modes and add new features and mechanics. And seeing what the team did with Talantis in Season 4 only made me wish I could create my own custom map even more. Combine that with fixing and adding to the incentives for playing Custom Games and it could be so much more than it is now, it's not even funny. There's still a lot that we can do with the current Workshop we have today, but I sincerely hope we get a much more flushed out Custom Game experience eventually.
The issues I have with the workshop are: The menu is always filled with 1 dad vs 11 kids, 18+ friendly or widow hs only. Its the same boring stuff copy and pasted. Blizzard need to promote/feature new popular modes on the arcade at least once a month. Finally the tools creators have to work with look so unpolished, everything is just a different coloured orb or circle.
also not to mention a better report system for this game mode. bc saying "18+" does not stop kids from joining. like the way ppl need to keep freaky ahh shi in private messages (with another adult ofc)
Thank you for bringing this up. I myself is a workshop content creator and I pretty much have given up on making new workshops due to the reasons you mentioned. I've mostly just been updating workshops nowadays. As I didn't feel as motivated to make new workshop content nowadays The recent 4 map reworks also broke many of the parkour maps. Just wished they Devs at least kept the old version of the maps so we don't have to update anything.
The fact that Halo Infinite has so much less players than Overwatch and their custom games is more popular in their community than custom games in the Overwatch community is crazy
I'm too stupid to use the Workshop :( I wanna make stuff like Ramattra boxing and Sigma dodgeball, but I can't do much beyond low cooldowns and low gravity. I even had the idea of combining movesets--like a mobile Roadhog or a character with multiple guns to swap between--but I have no idea how to anything like that. Custom maps would be AMAZING. Limitless potential. I would do nothing but make custom maps if they brought that into the Workshop. You remember that underwater Talon base they made on stream and allowed us to play for a little bit?? We could be getting a constant influx of fan-made maps that the devs like enough to actually put into the official rotation!!!
Like an arcade mode where players get to play on the most popular fan made maps cycled every month or something like that? That would be a dream come true for me, and I'm sure many others too.
8:59 I agree with this, right now the only game I can think of is Overwatch's "Sharks & Middles" game where the Reins (sharks) chase the targets. I hate how countless creators tend to make certain heros broken, most infamously Tracer with unlimited blinks, recalls and higher speed but with less hp to """BaLaNcE""" her, and other characters mainly Lucio with higher speed and jumps, Sombra with unlimited cloak and lastly a Doom with unlimited ultimate. This also didn't help that Blizzard never bother to add any "friendly fire disable/ friendly collison disable" to prevent infighting cause I seen a lot of Reins infighting. (It was mainly because they're too much of a baby to fault themselves getting caught). My other terrible experience is Hide & Seek, where mainly lot's of makers made the characters small and didn't bother to disable certain characters, like Echo, since she was small and can fly, I've saw a lot of Echo that will abusive the out of bounds holes then fly to unreachable spots that the seekers couldn't reach.
i wouldnt even be mad if they monetized the workshop somehow to make it worth putting dev time into. itd suck, but itd be better than no workshop updates at all
for me, it died because it stopped getting updates. I used to spend a lot of my playtime making workshop modes for fun, but I eventually tried all ideas, and couldn’t easily expand without new features. ever since season 4, the last season in which the workshop received an update, I have been begging for pathfinding for dummy bots - it’s literally the only thing I need to get back into messing around. there are also other things I’d like to see as new features of course, but bot pathfinding is the be-all end-all
wasn't there only 2 people or something working on workshop at the end of overwatch 1? Also Iirc some of these people left after overwatch 2 release. The team had very few people dedicated to the mode.
To give some boomer overwatch history the old aim trainer before was custom games vs all bot ana head shot only the ana couldn't head shot you so you took zero damage it wasn't perfect but its all we really had.
You're videos are great and everything but I had to come to your channel to see if you uploaded anything, not sure if its because you havent uploaded in a few days so you got buried or what. Just something I wanted to say because Id love to see you make more content
Idea: reward creators legacy credits for the amount of people playing Their custom games, that way blizzard doesn’t lose out on micro transactions and creators are rewarded
I was always wondering why people stopped talking about Workshop stuff once OW2 started.

Still sad about the day they got rid of "s3xual harrasment simulator" also known as "blizzard employee simulator" :(
What we lost: A passionate side project keeping the community updated with many fresh and new things to do
What we gained: another Kiriko skin

Thank you bro ❤
Earned a sub

you forgot to mention they worked with workshop devs to create that one Medieval mode where you fight a Evil demon rein
great vid, i think all the new mercy pakour maps are helping new players browse through custom games :)
You can say im WATCHING OVER your growth big man
As a dedicated player for both games, seeing the difference between Overwatch & Fortnite's custom games and how they're treated is really depressing.

My first fresh video since binging your content. Keep being amazing!
Doom Parkour between comp matches >
Good luck with your youtube journey!

I launch overwatch to play random ability’s for like 2 hours(or some other fun game mode if there are no servers)
