Man, Overwatch ranked is miserable with this meta. I would say that I hope they fix it next patch, but seeing their response and "priorities" for the season 2 patch, I feel like they're gonna run this game into the ground and say we're wrong about the way we feel about it

Think I'm done with Overwatch until they sort it out. It's just a money grabbing scheme now and ranked is just absolutely broken.

@elmaxo_swag I admire the history and fanbase of this game with all the funny animations and such. Did Valve fix the bots problem? If they did I have no problem choosing it over Overwatch 2.

Overwatch as a franchise has not had a lot of pre-launch development time. A lot of the systems in place are antiquated and, frankly, obsolete and the Design Structure across the entire game is in desperate need of an overhaul to address a lot of these issues.

@Larkee_ @pls0056 @WarnTV No they shouldn’t, that’s the biggest problem with overwatch. Instead of nerfing everything maybe actually make other characters better Lmaooo. His flash/stun was fine as it was

There’s a lot of good and bad takes (imo) when it comes to balancing overwatch. The blinding problem is that we need more frequent balance patches or experimental cards to be able to text changes more often so the game can feel good. Not this once or twice a season BS

@imAVRL Agreed with the take. That's why I started unfollowing and unsubscribing to every content creator that thinks they see Soujourn as the #1 issue in Competitive Overwatch. Maybe if they used their brains they'd run dive into the Soujourn and Mercy like Seoul did against MN3.

@JWantedL The only issue with no role lock is that tanks will run the game but I do agree we did lose a lot of what Overwatch was when role lock was introduced

@FrozenCientist "No I don't plan to cause trouble" he didn't seem to get the hint. He was a new member of the Overwatch Team, he looked shy but intimidating...you wonder about him.

@SkyeTheNeko @OWAnonymous_ I feel as though “skill issue” is just the argument everyone pulls out their *** when they just disagree with someone Overwatch is a chaotic game. Their team exists that u gotta watch out for. The distance is a factor. And her hit box is tiny af

Listen I might hate the **** out of blizzard and Overwatch as a whole but who am I to take away my SLIVER of happiness by not playing the game. I have a problem. I’m aware. I’m disappointed in myself. I will not stop unfortunately.

@tafokints Totally agree and of course the scaling of the demands for a service like Slippi are going to be different than the demands needed to run LoL. I personally dislike f2p games but I've also seen SO many games struggle if they're not in that system (like Overwatch for example).

I think saying that overwatch 2 players want lootboxes is misleading..The problem is that at least in overwatch you'd get free stuff just for playing it

@MDuncan1992 @FroggerOW No one will ever be happy, but that's because this is Overwatch and there's always SOMETHING that can be made better. Hog is the most broken thing rn, so he's complained about. People don't really complain about stupid **** in this game unless they're <Silver, in my experience.

Like, actually wtf. I payed to play Overwatch 1. I played for 700+ hours of it and because Overwatch 2 is a broken train-wreck, I feel like I've wasted that money on a game I can't even play anymore. Shame on you Blizzard, shame.

Why ******** am I getting disconnected from the server in Overwatch and getting 8 hour long penalties because it keeps DC'ing me but every other game stays connected the entire time i'm playing??? Blizzard fix your ******* servers.

@PlayOverwatch the state of Overwatch 2 is just unacceptable. It doesn't even work, it crashes every time I try to play (Overwatch 1 worked fine without any problems), its now not even letting me check anything. "Your rendering device has been lost. Closing application" Bullshit

5. Overwatch. it's just not that fun to me. I feel like there's a huge skill gap between me and everyone else who plays the game. Not to mention characters are broken all the time. It also makes my eyes hurt
