@LegaronCork @lts_Toko @FroggerOW Okay so anothet game pretty similar to overwatch: paladins it also has the hero be buyable, However hero swapping isn't a thing no issues arize The issue is because overwatch's cast internally aren't all that complex and instead can be swapped Issue arises from the hero swapping

@_AstralTraveler @theMoneyFolder They will be in Overwatch 2, yeah. They couldnt figure put any of the many easy ways to fix double shield, so they just removed a tank and called it an upgrade.

@ConnahDC_ @SkillUpYT Facts, if PlayStation has such an issue with Cod becoming an exclusive then they should create their own competitor. Games like Overwatch, Valorant, Apex and Splatoon have proven there is still room for new shooters to breakthrough.

@HVyper_ Overwatch isn’t valo. I play valo I understand how it works. The issue is why they are doing it now when it has been free since launch of OW 1. If your idea is stop the saturation at lower ranks you do what Valo does and lock it from comp. Choring your player base now is stupid

Shoutout to @Stylosa for always being skeptical of monetization and the cost to reward scale in Overwatch. One of the few streamers who didn’t blame players for simply wanting cosmetics (never a real argument) and keeps discussing the issue of greed and pay to win.

@JustMuffler @yoonsfairee @OverwatchNaeri Yeah you see in 2020 I only played overwatch a little bit bcs that was the year where I obsessed over other games and then 2021 my pc broke so I couldn't play that's why I first said one year bcs I was only thinking abt my pc being broken

@AshamanX @Spex_J @Dorwulf I can hear the raging kids being like "pick character x" because character x is totally op but alas, i didn't have time to play and don't have it so now i have a disadvantage. But oh wait, that will never happen, i mean overwatch never had any balancing issues whatsoever.

@ReaperII7 @JayWood2010 Well not really after all COD isn't really all that. I mean COD only became popular because of BO zombies. Spyro and Crash haven't been that relevant in years, Diablo should've just stopped at 2, and Overwatch is okay. WOW is probably the biggest IP and most relevant AB even has.

@Javion_OW So since no one can freely swap its a non issue. But in overwatch when the game was fundamentally created around counter play and freely swapping. Why would you lock a hero behind any type of wall. It means **** all if it’s on “free track” tons of people don’t play the game 24/7

@ActualCastle He clearly said the new Overwatch heroes will be unlocked through the battle pass, not the old ones. Plus, the new heroes are still free so I don’t see the problem

@Stylosa I understand what you mean but come on Overwatch 1 was essentially a failure as a live service. The Lootbox model was atrocious and they need some kinda way to monetize the game as long as the base game and all the characters are free there’s no issue.

@ChristalRaine Overwatch is not a battle royal. Counter pick is how you win games. If they come out with a new broken hero that is meta and you can't swap you lose the game. It breaks overwatch, literally.

Blue 💚 They/Them
(@BlueFurhn) reported
Neither Valorant, Paladins or Apex have you swapping hero's mid match, two of them have universal guns and paladins has pick bans to make up for a lack of free champions. It IS an issue in overwatch because you might straight up just not own the counter needed to win

@Seren1tynow !!!! How can people compare Overwatch to Apex and Valorant for that LMAO "Oh look they have a freshie on their team, lemme just lock (new broken af hero) and they cant mirror to counter!!" Also the fact its in the battlepass meaning you prob can pay to insta unlock is just scummy

@remeweds Yes, you're right. It does have balancing problems. That is a big part of the problem. Overwatch likes releasing new heroes ridiculously over powered, and people will lose because they dont have them.

@sam1tron At least in overwatch 1 if a new hero was broken as **** everyone could use them but now it's fork over like 30 bucks and now you get the power

Overwatch design is self-defeating because of one simple thing; You can change heroes. Simply forcing people to lock in their hero would remedy so many of the issues it has. Don’t even get me started on their ults [Push Ult to win fight!]

@Phage___ No way man in a game like overwatch you need to have all the characters available 😭 you are constantly switching mid game it’s not like valorant or league where you pick a char and stick it out I am not playing ow 2 if this becomes a problem

Common sense.
(@Mgarcia_100) reported
@_J117_ @STAGEBLOQ @JoeyPWilliams The problem is Microsoft now has a **** ton of activision and Bethesda games. Overwatch, Skyrim, fallout, doom, crash, Spyro, etc.... All of those franchise's were multiplat and now they can be taken away from PlayStation players. That just sucks..

(@JumpCannon) reported
@RoadRunner_ow @Spex_J The issue is that there are hero swaps mid-game in Overwatch that are absolutely crucial. In other games, such as Valorant, Apex, etc. there are no hero swaps. Playing/switching counters is imperative and putting one potential counter behind a lock is bad.

@trans_gurl666 @Skestina @Spex_J That don't matter. For Overwatch that model just doesn't work because unlike Paladins, Rainbow Six, and Valorant, you can change your hero mid game. Look at WarZone. Every season the new weapon is broken, and doesn't become well known for a month or two because not many people

@OverwatchNaeri i don’t think the devs thought about this. i think they were trying to take the apex approach but the problem with that is overwatch is a meta, team based game unlinke apex which is pure skill.

(@sirmattington24) reported
@theMoneyFolder Cosmetics behind battlepass is fine, overwatch relies on counters and hero switching, if the roster was bigger and more balanced I wouldn't mind (dota & lol) but its not so it's going to cause balance problems in competitive mode down the road

@SkyDeadBolt @SirT0rtuga @FroggerOW No. Just, no. The characters being free isn't the issue. Having to grind to get the characters in the first place is. This isn't Valorant or Apex. You shoudn't have to grind to get the character in the first place. That works for other games, but not Overwatch.
