I hope that Overwatch 2 adds something to fix this problem because it is literally happening every other game at least and its basically ruined the game for me since it is so unfun and has been a problem for ages.

blizzard has too many problems but overwatch was a huge part of my life for so long and changed me a lot. seeing it retire is a soft sort of sadness but all things must end. i might just have to log in and play a match or two for the sake of nostalgia when this fever breaks

@shrekcher like my problem with overwatch for the longest time has been that they have these really fun events that only last like 3 weeks and then there's these *** periods of downtime where the game just feels super stale

@Hellboy_Hades @jamelxthomas @toe__sucka Ya'll, stop throwing the word "karen around". This is really an annoying *** culture. This woman in the video CLEARLY has issues she needs to work on, plus trauma and to me what looks like neurodivergence (she also has an hyperfixation on overwatch). Both people were at fault

@texxx78 I noticed a little bit of lag but I installed a few new mods all at once and I think it’s either overwatch or errortrap because the lag occurs usually before the popup comes that some stuff was cleaned. It happens once in a Sim day. I don’t think tagger is at fault.

@OneSmugCat1 @GreatCheshire Multiplayer communities can find broken stuff real quick nowadays. That was part of the fun, finding and adopting new broken stuff. I do think Overwatch's balancing ideology was insane though. It really felt like they were throwing stuff to the wall to see what stuck.

@GreatCheshire I’m pretty sure how bad they fumbled Overwatch is the reason Overwatch 2 exists, figuring it’s better to restart from the ground up than try and fix the bloated monster the original game has become.

@trippy_124 @ZenofyMedia Engine, reliability, hardware support, quality of actual tickrate inside the server although source engine does 100 tick which ow does not do. The fact overwatch is 6 years old and doesn’t crash out (apart from nvidia caused issues) and just works. Can run on a potato. So yeah.

@lunasinclair I think the overwatch reference is a joke? Or I am missing why this person is a "gamer". This person clearly has issues, but I don't understand why then "the gaming community (is) completely devoid of empathy'???

The problem is, many people still don't understand what Overwatch 2 even is. I still get DMs from players who ask me if cosmetics will get carried over or some ask me how much OW2 cost. The marketing of this game was one of the worst ones in gaming history.

Gundam Evolution feels super fun, but its got a lot of issues that I don't know if it can survive past. A F2P overwatch clone shouldn't lock part of its roster behind a paywall.

@squicklinb @CaitlinKoiYT @NiceO_spl honestly the shitflinging between casual and comp players is obscuring the actual problem: splatoon’s overwatch-tier matchmaking system and its chronic need to keep everyone at an even w/l ratio, regardless of skill level, is hot garbage lol

@thethiccswed @UrTeethFairy @Metro_OW hog isn’t a team hero do you not understand he has no synergy like any other tanks do, I’m not in a low rank so I don’t struggle against them but when I’m smurfing they are a problem hog gets rewarded when he plays solo and it’s not with overwatch s core values

It’s kinda funny and kinda sad to me that all the things they’ve tried to do to fix the issues with role balance in Overwatch has served to make the game gradually worse and less fun over time than it was at launch, to me at least

Idk man, I've been playing Overwatch since release and knowing they are literally immediately shutting the servers down is... disheartening and sad

@Jesse_Twinsalty I feel like experience from a hectic game like overwatch can translate well to valorant, as the most common issue I have with some valorant casters is that they get distracted or lost in the chaos during fast takes or util trades

Now that there seems to be no problem at all putting a Call of Duty game again on Steam, maybe Blizzard should also put Overwatch 2 in it.

@MrTLexify if u own overwatch 1 u get the new hero free its only a problem for literally any body else. the only ones who complain about the new hero being in the battle pass r the ones that will get it on release lol

(@GreatCheshire) reported
There are a lot of valid reasons to no longer player Overwatch, especially with the Blizzard stuff, and a lot of issues with its development over time, but I always think about just how much more restrictive it feels now versus the loose fun team game I originally played

@SourceRabbit1 @RetroDubsVA Not to mention they're corny as **** with their dogshit jokes "haha furries bad", "haha trans people bad!1!1" "hurrrdurrr overwatch bad" it's like people are projecting their own problems at people through haye and resentment
