@thiiinkiing LMAOOOOOO I played overwatch every single day for 5+ years before finally stepping away. but the fact is, yall are so focused on one part of my tweet instead of the actual issue. bc yall don’t wanna take accountability for being toxic, nasty and horrible to sup players.

@unbound_joy I don’t get marvel rivals players cognitive obsession with thinking overwatch is the source of all your problems or that its players are the devil incarnate, maybe you need to come to terms with the fact that OUR game right now is flourishing, maybe do something different idk

You're right! Overwatch 2 started circling the drain when Activision stepped in and monetized the hell out of it. That was the breaking point. Players complained, but the industry didn’t back off—they just got sneakier. And here’s the real issue: $20+ for a skin, a voice line, or a bundle? That’s a third of a full AAA game’s price. For what, pixels and sound files? That’s not value. That’s exploitation. Cosmetics, sound packs, bundles, none of it should ever break the $20 ceiling. If it does, it’s not about player choice anymore. It’s about squeezing whales and normalizing greed. As for us? We're building something different. You’ll see. But this industry needs to stop pretending that $80 skin bundles are harmless just because they’re “optional.” #CashgrabCulture #MonetizationMadness #PlayerRespect

@sama_zenny I think Capcom not wanting to stray from SF2's roster is an issue for the game that comes after SF3. Too many SF2 reps in base game and then one DLC rep per season is insane. Even the Overwatch 2 collab that was marketed as an SF6 collab had 7 SF2 reps and 0 SF6 reps.

From what I heard from my community it was bad from day 1 and sadly, it's most likely worse. Not to mention before it's release, I even made the prediction on my stream, it will be more toxic than Valorant, Apex, CoD, Fortnite, Overwatch, etc. Sadly it's probably true. There is nothing wrong with the game in principal. But when you have the elitist toxic (hero) shooter players hop into the game, and then you have some Marvel fans, and trust me. I love Marvel and DC but you can get some real toxic people from those comic bases. Then if you combine Marvel toxic players who are also elitist shooter players. Well you're asking for trouble, and honestly. SS:KTJL had the same toxic crap to an extent but I soloed all the content so.

@Greenpig117 i mean besides that one guy i got in an ow match a few nights ago calling everyone the n word and couldn’t take me calling him out, rivals has had a lot of issues since the devs started making dumb patches, while overwatch got more chill as time went on. ninja was also toxic lol

@galadps my only problem for flashpoint is the lack of actual team play in overwatch, you always have 1-2 people trying to cap or walk to the point while the rest of the team is off in Narnia trying to fight the other team

@FleoVT Yeah I agree. Same thing happened to me with overwatch back in the day. played starting with the beta and had to quit around s7 of ranked because of toxicity and a few other issues I had with the game.

@Daisy_Demonic @dvakisser i dont hate it and dont think the age gap is the issue, i just don't feel like it could rlly be endgame since i dont rlly think mercy would be the type to seek a relationship within overwatch + pharah caused a **** ton of destruction within helix which i cant imagine mercy likes

@b0gur The problem with the Overwatch player mindset, Can’t have a massive gaming community that isn’t not toxic some of you guys fail to realize it’s more than just in game toxicity. It’s like you watched a minute of @Ninja talking and said “stop whining.” He gets harassed daily online

That U.S. Marshal Service Bus rated a lead, follow and blocking Suburban with a Helo overwatch. Remember when the less than committed protested against LEO/FLEOs utilizing MIL Kit?

@M1das_OW2 @DeitiesAct4 @adifying S/V for 60 dollars and being broken as **** doesn't justify it's pricetag, it's a horrible price. Overwatch 2 selling Collab skins for 30+ dollars is also a horrible price tag.

I’m seeing this issue at every game news expo where half the games look the same. trailer looks cool and then they show gameplay and boom it’s either another team shooter or a roguelike. not everyone can make overwatch or tarkov or hollow knight or hades dear lord

Because all the losers from overwatch came over and intruded after saying the game would fall off and started with their bs! Not to mention instead of people actually enjoying the game for what it is they take comp wayyyy too serious. The game is fun but the sore losers playing are the problem.

@brianmmdev Yeah I get for sure. The story telling x looter shooter x mmo/live service combo was really good. Marathon is for sure flopping. The stories I’m seeing about it are a mess. Strong art direction but is that enough? Unlikely. How do you feel about hero shooters? Overwatch/MR?

@Slaptrix_Game @charlieINTEL I dunno man it was a problem in Overwatch 2 I believe, and people did complain, but I don't recall a huge step back. IK Rivals has some skins that technically are 22$ but you can earn that currency for free so its different.

@kayjii Imo it’s hardstuck gm3/dia1 problem. It’s basically filled by plat and low diamond players from overwatch.

Overwatch needs to fix the ******* screen where you choose your currency when purchasing something in the hero gallery because I just wasted 500 PAID coins on something that could’ve been bought for free credits because the selection screen bugged tf out.

@humplings Rivals community is NOWHERE NEAR as bad as COD or Overwatch stop the f'ing cap. If you truly played COD than you'd know better, majority of the issues we hear about players being "Toxic" are the low level players from OW but even then, they aren't by enlarge

Supports 3 tapping DPS heroes is the same issue Overwatch garnered but sure, lets go for round 2 on making one of these team shooters poorly balanced and unfun
