>Second for Mercy
Aaron Keller ending year long /owg/ debates in one memo
>>574124087does Mercy look like this in the game?
>>574124120I play nothing but quick play and have never touched stadium I am literally the model Overwatch player.
where's the gency farewell tearjerker scene god I despise the new lore people from the bottom of my heart
>>574124227She used to, in that skin her teeth were super small for some reason
>>574124316Isn't that kind of shit exactly what the webtoon was made for.
stadium funeral thread
>>574124259what about her skin then?actually i think she got flatter O_O
>You’ve told us the Tank role often plays too big of a factor in determining the outcome of a standard 5v5 match. Single Tanks feel that responsibility and can stress or counter swap on respawn, causing mismatches in team compositions. Tanks can also be fairly overpowered in 1v1 situations with other roles and that can be difficult for us to balance. With the potential of two active tanks per team, we see an opportunity to test different balance tuning that might soften these rough points.This game is populated by such subhuman faggots even when it isn’t pride month.
>>574123832juno is fucking adorable
>>574124889Adorable? That's me.
>>574124504Stadium can be fun but makes you actively worse at the game.
>>574124882We've been discussing for months about how the tank role is arguably the worst experience in live service games right now and the only thing you can think about is pride month?
5v5 won6v6 lost
Rip Stadium, shame because i actually liked playing mercy in it, let me be something more than a healbot.

TOTAL DOMINA LOVETOTAL DOMINA LOVETOTAL DOMINA LOVE
I can fix her.
>when you rank out of plat and can no longer play the fun characters
Mei's ass is my favourite character.
>>574124484no it's for juno and wuyang to go on whacky adventures
>queue>alt tab>it's a backfill and the game doesn't warn me>suspended for being afkI love how after 30 years they still haven't fixed this shit
>>574125068It’s indicative of the state of the player base. The more integral faggot shit is to the game, the more subhumanly retarded they will be. Overwatch is about as bad as it gets in that regard. Average player is a low functioning fail spinning subhuman that would be euthanized in a functional hygienic society.
>>574125582Are you just projecting?
>>574125582
>>574124214Kissing Hana's ass for employment as MEKA
>>574124786would be pure kino also> Yuffie Kiriko> Jetpack cait sith> Vincent Mcree
>>574125556We don't play that crap here
>>574126007I googled "kiriko yuffie" to see if someone made a concept art, and this was the first result.
>>574125378>>574124120I play mystery heroes all the time and frequently see the same name or two multiple games in a row. The queue times are fine though so it's all good with me, don't call it dead until you've suffered being a player of a truly dead game
>>574125825>>574125703He's right the "le miserable tanking experience" people are all weaklings
>>574124120I wonder if the looming layoffs played a role in putting Stadium on life support or if they were going to do this regardless
reindaddy bwc
>People giving a shit about skins Skins>In a FPS game????????
>>574126730It's just not worth putting resources into an unpopular mode. It's not like they didn't give it enough attention; it's been getting new content every season for a year and a half, to the detriment of the core game even.
i'm a mercy main :3
>>574126412I still feel like things got worse for the mode when they changed it and that makes me mad. with them pushing even more 6v6 stuff now my hopes of it being changed back fade away
I wouldn't believe in forced 50 if my losses weren't typically totally unwinnable stomps.
So Anran is pretty much the worst DPS in the game huh?
>>574127073I'm a 5v5 guy but honestly I think 6v6 is perfect for MH
If I were higher rank, I know diving a Widowmaker as Shion would be a death sentence However, I will rev my bike 3 yards away from them and still catch them off guard
>>574123832who is this cute girl? i don't play this game
>>574127176No, she's doing well in all ranks
>>574127045stuck in an awful game.
>>574127307Juno the retarded martian
>>574127363You don't play Anran because by your argument Kiriko is extremely weak
>>574127429thanks anon
>effectively nobody plays stadium which makes sense given it has fuckass long queues>practically nobody plays 6v6 either>vast majority of people are casuals playing 5v5 unranked only>after that it's 5v5 rankedlmao
>>574127045This is your game. We’re just queuing in it.
>>574127459Pathetic
>>574127429It's not fair to insult her she couldn't help it.
>>574127668>5v5 qp has the majority of players by a landslide>people here will still tell you qp doesn't matter
Brigitte feels unkillable now. Go play her, go.
I would be playing QP if the match quality was so terrible this season. It's my preferred mode.
>>574127987unless of course you face sigma winston rammatra junkrat sojourn dva phara mauga reinhardt
>>574128072For real. Is it really just summer fags? I don't remember any summer being this bad before.I'd have multiple games back to back with more than 5 people leaving, and people just sitting at spawn doing nothing, sometimes multiple.Feels like there might be some network issue at play.
How in the hell Le Gookarim collab turned up so good? https://youtu.be/UnzNMIWdYnY?is=DPcpEnKH0NqN86e8
>>574128392Brig is the pick for dive.
Brigitte is legit good now.
I like the Shion/Mizuki interaction where she tells him to stay close whenever I play her, makes me feel like he's my puppy
>>574128435I think there's a really severe issue with the pool of tank players that they're trying to cover up. Hence why Keller is suddenly talking about trying to alleviate pressure on tank players and giving 6v6 testing a genuine, fair try for the first time since the switch happened.I'm convinced they widened the MMR range for tanks in QP to prevent queue times from becoming an issue. If I'm remembering correctly, long QP queue times are the most significant repellent for players.
>>574127987I'm on my climb out of gold dps arc
I would pay ultra prices for a master chief emre
>>574128987You and the 3 other Halo fans left
why haven't they done a Forza collab yet?
>>574125378I used to play MH almost exclusively but I haven't touched it since they've made it 6v6.
>>574123832Came back to this game after like 7 years and jesus some of these new skins can't compare to some of the OG legendaries. At least there are new asian women semen demons. Anyway can I just go queue McCree and mindlessly click heads to master like the good ol' days or do the new heroes require more IQ to battle
The more people hate on Anran, the more I like her.
>>574128594>queue up a game to try new brig>its gibraltarmaybe next game I guess
>>574129410>Anyway can I just go queue McCreeNo, you can't.
>>574127987>what's that?>mizuki is overtuned and shits on every dive character in the game plus some?>He's stepping on brig's job>should we nerf him?>nah just buff another support>also don't forget to nerf doomWhat are these devs smokin
>mcc*eeits cassidy now unc
>>574128840All I play is 5v5 ranked, but wouldn’t 5v5 open queue be the move? The option to play 6v6 open in unranked and ranked already exists and no one gives a fuck.How is 6v6 role going to fix that?9v9 with 2 tanks, 4 dps and 3 supports is the answer imo. But if you look at queue times, the real answer would probably be something like a 0:1:3 ratio or some other support weighted mix.
>>574129482>>574129550Fine fine Cole "Don't Rape Women" Cassidy whatever just tell me if this game's fundamentally different with 5v5 and shit. I stopped around Ashe or ball I think
>>574129410McCree is still good, but he is the highest ban rate dps hero in masters and up.
>>574129323I have 2 alts
>>574129410Cass is incredibly good with high carry potential.
>>574127208on paper maybe, but in practice I'm not feeling. when the changes were fresh I would ask about it in chat and the people that did respond leaned towards 5v5 more often than not. but of course there is a bias to speak up when you're unhappy, so that has to be taken with a pound of salt. this ~4% reveal though that's concrete proof of a low playrate for the mode now. what I'd really like to know is if it was this low before the changes
>>574129671he has not played in 7 years, he is not going to be masters and up
>>574129724>>574129671There's bans now? Jeez alright. Any of the new ones play hitscan similarly to him? I just want to click heads
>>574129642Ignore them you absolutely can mindlessly click heads to master, and then get hardstuck apparently.
>>574129774 I can't imagine changing it to 6v6 or adding perks could have made it less popular, but maybe there's something I don't get
>>574129432Who wants to play anran? Seems like a cool concept that shat out and squeezed into a shitty little chink box for the games mechanical and checkbox “needs”
>>574129879Is Soldier bad now or something?
>>574129945she has a fun kit but suffers from having to commit it entirely just to make a play
>>574129642He's viable you just have to adapt to the fact that his flashbang is no longer a full stun and there's crazy as fuck mobility creep these days with all these new heroes that have no downsides so he can feel a bit clunky and helpless sometimes. "Click heads" still solves most problems.
>>574090567>>574090689>>574090851What Sojourn should look like.
>>574129843There's like 10 million characters that just click heads. Pick whichever one.
>>574130029The play style isn’t what I meant, nor will I argue it, since the point was having to play anran is cheap knockoff Chinese torture to the senses.
>>574130103>>574130169Thanks for the quick rundown anons. Guess I'll go spend a couple hours in the range and see wtf everyone does
>>574123832The Eye
>>574129567It's just about proven that Overwatch requires role queue. People want to be able to decide what they're playing, not be forced into flexing every other match. Many people who prefer 6v6 are open about how they would return if Blizzard implemented role queue in 6v6. The issue is that once you implement roles you recreate the issue with queue times that led to 5v5's inception in the first place. I don't disagree that larger teams and maps is probably what this game actually needs. Such drastic changes to the game's format will unfortunately never be given any consideration.>>574129410Cass is probably the easiest DPS in the game right now. He's extremely strong and doesn't really have any disadvantageous matchups. If you have adequate aim and feel for timing, he's extremely easy to carry with.
>>574129906the mode actually had perks for like a whole year before that patch. removing them was something that came with 6v6, then after a couple weeks they backtracked on it and gave it perks back
they'll add third person to unranked now that stadium is kill
>the juno beach skindamn she built like a 14 year old
>>574130592Yeah, killing the normal mode too sounds like a Blizzard thing to do.
>>574130810is she?
>>5741305046v6 “people” aren’t. I literally don’t know anything about open queues, but if flex is the issue, then remove it, let people play what they want. It isn’t ranked anyway, let a full team of dps play against a full team of supports. “Balance” it around that. Literally who gives a fuck, it’s just another casual option, which is what the player base wants, on top of their roles fantasy. Let them spam it to the detriment of everyone else like they do already, to the maxxx as their spiritual leader would say.
>>574124432Marzia...
>>574130962I regret taking you seriously and putting time into my response.
>>574130508Oh okay I thought you were thinking all the way that far back regarding a theoretical decline in mystery heroes. Personally I haven't noticed it get less popular
>>574130504I see what you mean. Funny that he seems basically unchanged from way back then. Losing the old flash is a bummer but I guess it's fine for blocking escape skills if I'm hunting an enemy DPS down
>>574131142That’s fair, I don’t really care about this question desu, since unranked and pve modes are made up and their players don’t matter, while 6v6 shills should be mass euthanized.
>>574130952holy...
>>574130592hope so, being able to hop on stadium and see the skins I bought was half of the reason for playing itI am glad we'll never have to deal with hog/mauga/mizu in that mode at least.
What the actual fuck is going on? Every teammate I have the past few days is legit braindead, this is legit a first for me.

i tried taking a pic of the scoreboard but messed up and got this pic instead
As a returning new player, this is my non-biased and objective truth-opinion on all the champions.
Am I mathing wrong or do retards genuinely believe that a quarter of the playerbase regularly playing open queue 6v6 is somehow a grim number
>>574124120>my most played modes right now are MH and stadiums
>>574131295I think the fact that so much of his effectiveness is riding on your mechanics makes him not too easy, but what's easy about him is he is the most flexible hero in the game with positioning. Most characters have to be deliberate about their rotations and cover usage so that they're within the preferable effective range of their gun, which can be really tricky on some parts of the map combined with their character. But cree can almost just move cover to cover and be in decently effective positions by default because of the flexibility of his effective range. Combine that with flashbang and as long as you have a good sense of timing he's one of the easiest characters to avoid getting "caught out" as
>>574131597First time playing Overwatch?
>>574132002I can fix her.
Will Freja ever be allowed to be good? Her ttk is attrocious.
>>574132002She can fix me.
>>574132153hopefully not. cancerous hero
>>574132012It's true, Kiriko is iconic.
>>574132017Its grim when retards were spamming that its the most played mode yeah
>>574132017How is 19% a quarter?
>>574131606I think JPC would've been better if they had used just generic cat noise voice samples.
>>574132153Her ttk is fine if they just give her more HP instead of forcing her to be another quasi sniper
>>574132017It’s only grim from the perspective of 6v6 being the pre-eminent game mode.Going from that to this is a painful audit. 5v5 becoming flex and vice versa may be enough to shove it back down the modern player bases throats
>>574132247I don’t remember many people doing that.I remember people saying that 5v5 is worse, not that it’s less popular.>>57413225719 + 8.
>>574132363>19 + 8.These are not independent numbers, the whole list sums to 128%.
>>574132012>juno>bland
>>574132501The porn baiting is too obvious.
>>574132247>>574132257>>574132363kek. guy is trying to sneak in 6v6
>>574132430Then what are people even arguing about them for
>>574132604>trying to sneak in… the subject of the discussionYou might have brain damage
>>574132247Don't forget the fact that the devs previously said that there were no significant changes to the percentage of people playing 6v6 OQ compared to when it was 5v5 OQ which suggests that real 6v6ers are just OQ players.(5v5 OQ was better, imo, because tanks were weaker)
>>574132012horrid fucking post
>people were apparently spamming about 6v6 open queue being the most popular mode (nobody actually believed this)I feel like I’m being gaslit.
>I'm just saying, whoever shot Mondatta might have had the right idea...
>>574132012IMO Tracer, Winston, Mercy, Reinhardt, McCree, Soldier, Lucio, Widow, Genji should all be in their own tier of THE OVERWATCH heroes though>>574132501I agree Juno is iconic because she barely got added to the game 2 years ago but she feels like a part of the game and not like one of the new characters.
what's the best shion major perk
>>574132025Stadium is based because it gives a sense that the devs care about the characters enough to make expounded content of them, someday. It getting axed sucks but I don’t play it enough to be able to cry for it. Didn’t even know ranked was an option for it.
Is there anyone who prefers playing 6v6 Zarya to 5v5 Zarya?
>support threw the game because two teammates had an israel flag

they're going to add the stadium maps to the regular game right?
>>574124120I honestly thought the percentage for mystery heroes would be a hell of a lot bigger, like 10%. Glad it's beating stadium though so at least it's not on the chopping block

I see alot of streamers playing 6v6 at the beginning of the season while the queue times are faster and there are more players playing at the start of a new patch.
>>574138790>playing open queueyou did that to yourself
>>5741387903 supports isn't bad, so I don't blame them, especially because support mains are the most inflexible people in the playerbase
>>574138790Somehow none of them are healing either.

>>574145450I was the one seething because I always hated the huge waste that is stadium-exclusive maps. I WANT MORE MAPS NOT MORE HEROES
Now that Stadium has been canned, can we have a 3rd person camera toggle for normal overwatch?
>>574145506I mean that's why they canceled them; people didn't play em. Proof of the pudding and all that.

>>574144424It's not complicated. 30+ year old launch Overwatch players have an emotional rather than rational attachment to the launch payload maps. The new age players have no pre-conceived notions and thus enjoy the new better game modes.

>>574146187Stadium is taking up dev resources, we had this exact problem with the PvE shit. They keep insisting on wanting to branch away from just providing for hte core gameplay. They need to focus on purely just maps and the occasional special experiment mode.

It's going to be 50-60% potentionally 100% when it is forced as the main mode again. Cope.
>>574147225It's the most played because it's presented as the default game mode. >>574147362They wouldn't be doing experimental 6v6s modes and writing lengthy blog posts asking people to try it if 6v6 was remotely on the chopping block. They are clearly interested in doing something with it
isn't 6v6 literally like 1/3rd of the playerbaselike it's not the most popular, obviously, no one is saying thatbut to say that it's effectively dead is intentionally disingenuous and acting in bad faith
>>574147225Unironically because eos soon. The team is being cut. Back to the dark ages and player base of PRIME 6v6. Need to save as much money as they can by cutting the player base down to the lolcows who buy mercy skins and nothing else to reduce server requirements.
>>574147814Try 1/5th, if that. 80% of the 6v6 player base is support mains so just nuke it.
>>574147742>They wouldn't be doing experimental 6v6s modes and writing lengthy blog posts asking people to try it if 6v6 was remotely on the chopping blockits very clearly being considered otherwise they wouldnt be desperately trying to push people into it at this stage
Aspen is playing 6v6 rn sisters.
>>574147671That’s unironically the plan. They will make 5v5 open queue and Indiana jones it with 6v6. This will coincide with the layoffs and overwatch will get the hots treatment. They know they can keep milking the types of animals who stuck with old Overwatch through another endless purgatory humiliation ritual like last time.RETVRN /OWG/
You know this is as much role vs open queue as it is 5v5 vs 6v6 you disingenuous faggots.
Kirikotranny getting mad again.
>>574147936>desperatelywhat is desperate about it retard?Aaron Keller literally says 6v6 is growing in popularity so they are going to run experiments on role queue for it. I really hope you're being this obtuse on purpose

>stadium actually fucking diedI won. the hours of freakouts on /owg/ were worth it.
>>574148218There’s a reason one is and the other isn’t. 6v6 leans heavily subhuman. And that’s in a game that largely that to begin with.Swapping them will kill 5v5 and leave the sandbag that is 6v6 lol.
Cutting into this discussion to post that Domina should've received a summer skin instead of Anran. Thank you for your attention to this matter.
>>574148304>what is desperate about it retard?the experimental changes scream desperate to me
>>574148547I mean, you just saw what they did to Stadium. They clearly don't feel the need to seem desperate about saving game modes, they just cut what isn't working.
>haven't played in about a year>come back>kill someone from across the map with right-clicki'm glad some things never change
They didn't attempt anything to improve the tank situation in the past year. Maybe don't buff all the braindead anti tank dps and abilities? Maybe nerf pokeslop so tanks can breathe? Maybe release more fun tank heroes?But no, release more sierras and mizukis. That will make people want to queue tank.
>>574129358What the hell would that even be? More Porsche skins?
>>574148735they know stadium players arent diehard weirdos like 6v6 fagswhen they kill 6v6 at least now they will have the "at least we tried" excuse

how the hell does someone manage to turn 6v6 vs 5v5 into a culture warwe're just talking about what format we think would be better for the game and you unironically think that people are more or less human for having an opinion about a videogamehow does someone become this mentally ill? what are they putting in the water?

This got overlooked, but they'll be showing off season 4 content at the OWCS event in two weeks. Since they'll have both hero and map devs there, I'm guessing they will be showing off reworks and not D.mon.
>>574149749I think mystery heroes having a higher percentage of the player base than the two stadium modes was about the only spiritual victory you're going to get

Honestly they need to prioritize slimming down the game. Binning Stadium is a good start.>cancel stadium>rework arcade into three modes; FFA, mystery heroes, and a queue that rotates all arcade variants like a minigame queue>finally give 6v6 and 5v5 a chance to hash it out, giving both honest and genuine role queues with real balancing for an entire season; keep the more popular mode>finally remove pve missions from the menu and toss everyone a 500 coin apology refund>deliver every single arcade and deleted mode as custom game presets, allowing people to play and workshop things like stadium or the loser core format if they want to>create a real social space/over world with portals for queueing
it's over...it's a downward spiral from here on out
I do like the impact frame they put in here.
>>574150145This. It’s the 3% stadium players from /v/ brigading us sister. Think anti dysphoric thoughts.
>MAMA? MAMA LUIGI?

>queue for dps>but actually you have to play tank or you are throwingsurely this won't lead to any toxicity
>>574150912lets all point at juno and laugh
It's always worth getting those boxes when you can.
>>574150721Agreed. Consolidating the excessive amount of queues down to a few high quality matchmaking modes + a more in-your-face server browser is the right path to go with. I like both 5v5 and 6v6 and dont' care too much which one dominates as long as queue times aren't too bad. FFA and Mystery heroes are the best modes other than the main mode and with just those 3 as the matchmaking modes they should make the server browser for custom games more front and center for all the fun stuff like movement/parkour maps, 1v1 modes, Widow headshot, Ana paintball etc.
How long will these summer skins be in the shop for?

>>574151071Social dynamic shift. Instead of having 4v1 against the tank have the dps tear into each other in front of the supports.Really really funny but>balance?
the playerbase is very small so getting rid of niche gamemodes is very importantplease understand
>>574151129That was one of my recent legendary gets also
>>574146958people always make this argument but they never actually state how the core gameplay could even benefit from those resources
>>574151334Getting rid of ranked and or casual 6v6 would do wonders. be it draft, flex, open or whatever other pronouns it prefers.Theoretically they would all shift to the single remaining mode and improve queue times. Getting rid of mystery doesn’t really do anything except clean up the mess that is the game interface a bit since the play numbers are so minimal. Plus few probably play just mystery, surely.
>>5741512713 weeks usually.
>>574151762Probably because it's self-evident such that they don't need to bother? There are multiple stadium-exclusive maps, the base game has been getting like 1 new map a year

>>574151965The maps can be reused for other content, either cycled into the main game or recycled into assets or some pve mode down the line.R-right? Wasn’t that the point of Overwatch to begin with!?
>>574152104Oh hardee har har *rolls eyes*
>these last postsFucking hell. Bitter ass mother fuckers really going hard today,huh? lol
>>574152285I know, right?Overwatch players should be used to Blizzard canceling stuff at this point.
>ana swaps to mercy commits to pocketing the ashe that's 4 and 5 after our attack round>last fight of the game and they watch our rein die on cart to force the pocketI can't fucking handle this
Actually it's selfish to want these gimmick modes like stadium developed. The data says people like escorts maps and yet Blizzard hasn't added a new one since 2022. Thank god It's dead. They need to start making stuff for the majority.
>>574152747The data says people like escort maps and don't like tank. The people are wrong in both cases. I agree it's good stadium is dead though.
>>574151176The menu is a fucking mess. I played with a friend that hadn't been around since ~2018 and he had no idea what the fuck was going on. There's three options on each game mode window. It makes no sense at all.

waiting for deadlock to officially release so I can jump ship from this sinking boat
>>574153403Ask the chinese sweatshop modelers that made it.
1-3-2 with a flex DPS/Tank spot seems like a massive win for people who only want to tank if there's 2 tanks. I'll just queue as DPS, pick a tank, and will have 2 tanks guaranteed but with a shorter queue time than 2-2-2. Can't wait to see how it works in practice
You were stealing resources from the primary game mode 97% of players enjoy. Go fuck yourself, no one feels bad your shit mode is done and dusted. In fact, everyone is celebrating.

>>574153624This. Pride months over. Time to put 6v6 back in the ground.>>574153850Not possible. 6v6 was never a good game mode. It’s always been a hACK job to cope with how subhuman the player base is.Best you can do is for a sufficient containment zone to exist so 6v6 tranny uppityness stays within levels that don’t disrupt the larger player base.
blizzard has launched overwatch 3 times with a coming 4th (we all know everything is being gutted to return to 6v6) and has failed everytime, except original launch in 2016. Part of me doesnt even care what they do because they will fumble it. But also, a big fuck you to the blizzard staff and that auto "take meds" blizzard bot whenever i said Overwatch was slowly reverting season 9, and priming for the return of 6v6 (dooms death as tank and being reworked to dps is just one breadcrumb) But we should blame everyone but dafran in the content creation seen for sucking their teeth and never critizing Blizzard. This experiment of 5v5 should have ended 3 years ago. The EOS poster is right, though not sure what it means, very common tactic in business, some call it enshitification. It will be a shell of itself to only service the remaining paypigs. Moneitzing more paypigs with a lower player count, can actually improve the department compared to 5 hero launches that bring no change, or meaningful increase to the playerbaseAaron, i appreciate your work, move on.Hearthstone guy, get fuckedmatchmaker guy, im sure what i want to say is illegal in a few nations

Games also live and die on their most vocal player base. Right now, tanks are focal point with no one wanting to play them and the subhuman player base scape goating them, while 6v6 lol cows from the games past are becoming louder if only because the game isn’t healthy enough to drown them out.

>>574157267mizukilearn kiriko too because she's the "this isn't working I guess I'll go kiri" hero
>>574157370you are an angry little penis having man, whom, will be playing 6v6 within 6 months, cope, and go play your precious mode before its removed. Or if youre a low plat shitter support, wait 11 mins for a game LOL
6v6 is a bad idea specifically because of 2 tanks. Reason being I want to play whatever tank I want and having to worry about tank synergies/composition in general is fucking gay. 1-3-2 sounds fun if I got to be an op 5v5 tank, not if I'm a normal 6v6 solo tank against 2 6v6 tanks.
>>574157865Remember when Overwatch took all the hype of their rerelease and used to do push and pander absolute slop for literally years? Could you imagine a team that deserves the axe more than these niggers lol.
>>574158027as someone who was a tank main for all of ow1 it's the oppositetwo tanks lets you fuck aroundas long as you aren't pick something that's so atrociously mismatched you're finedon't forget that toronto defiant nearly made a run for the owl title forcing hog/zarya or that shanghai completely flipped the final 2-2-2 championship on its head by sandbagging and swapping to ball for the final match against the fuel, who were the meta setters with their winston rush>down comp2-2-2 lets you be creative5v5 forces you to play mid
my rolequeue 5v5 quickplay brothers and sisterswe remain the supreme race, Aaron Keller has to do anything to satisfy us6v6cucks, arcadechuds, stadiumtards kneels or gtfoeven the rankedlets cant compete
I hated how one note OW1 heroes could be. Cassidy is proof of how overpowered and boring he is. Guy is as exciting to play as a wet piece of white bread. I have more fun playing Illari than him.
>>574158027in 5v5 you still can't play whatever you want either unless you want absolutely miserable matches
i like playing as Shion
>>574158487TF2 boomers aren’t gonna like this one
>>574158487illari may have some of the worst gun play in the game, you definitely missed ow sound design for headshots and told on yourself
>esports slopthe true killer of all online games.I just wish I could multiqueue. I play both modes and wouldn't mind being able to queue for both at once.>>574158372>arcadechudsremember when arcade was fun and actually populated? I put an embarrassing amount of hours into CTF back in the day. now it's a random rotation of slop modes that no one ever plays.
>>574158487Illari is literally the same except she has a mercy in her pocket she can glue to the wall
>>574158626TF2 lets you differentiate with weapons which you had to buy keys to unlock. OW and TF2 satisfy complete different niches. Old OW is just too limited for my tastes.
>>574158626dont compare tf2 to ow please...
i miss the mystery hero chads, they had spark when they started
>>574158487extremely trans coded post
>>574155691top 3 from every role minus emrewagmi
>>574158372What were they trying to accomplish with Stadium? It seems to not attract either esports scum nor casual players.
>>574157267Kiri gets rewarded for good setups before the fight like Winston and Venture
>>574155691Old mains? Yes. Current main? No.Stadium let me experience the joy of running a lobby as Reinhardt again. I appreciated that. Their direction for balance and hero additions was horrible. The mode deserved to die.
>>574159136Make the game more moba-like I guess. They're too cowardly to go all in on a Paragon/Smite like mode though so they gave us Paladins-lite
>>574159136To give streamers content
>>574158626The scout with double jump, shotgun, pistol and source air control has more depth than nearly all OW characters, same with soldier and demoman
I'm the main Sigma and I'm not talking about the hero
>>5741591363rd person to sell more skins
>>574152065Juno in shorts and a I <3 Midtown shirt would sell like crazy
>>574159136it did attract a large amount of supports, mainly mercy mains because she is actually strong therestadium is a way to experiment power system for different heroes before releasing them into core
>>574159136My guess was literal pet project to share with the class. Testing out mechanics in a game mode slightly more serious then April foolsLove stuff like that but to be honest I never played it
>>574159136A lot of the OW devs aren't actually interested in the game or shooters in general. For example, Gavin Winter is the lead "systems engineer" and is a senior level dev for everything from matchmaking to balance. He doesn't play shooters, he hates shooters. He's a castaway from Hearthstone who wanted to work on Warcraft and Starcraft. He's literally in charge of everything related to the "numbers" of Overwatch and doesn't even play the game.The Stadium devs were the same thing. They started working on it because they didn't want to do their actual job and Blizzard is still run like they're a bunch of virgins in an extra bedroom. No one told them no.
>>574159423I love Valve for how mechanically in depth they are with their games because of better physics. Overwatch feels too stubborn and one note sometimes because of mobility issues, but that is changing for the worse with flyslop. I don't trust MMO directors to figure out a good system for their physics since it will take them a long time to figure out a viable game that isn't broken or washed up.
>>574159926The ones who play the game aren't any better and do shit like "bionade needs to do 90 damage/healing because we don't like the subrole we put her in"
>>574160120That's literally Gavin Winter's department.
>>574158372Based
>>574159976I think overwatch movement is fine, I just had to stick up for TF2 there because implying tf2 characters are all as basic ad mccree is just slander. The only time OW movement really bothers me is the lack of momentum/speed gain when rolling down hill as ball. There's no physics. But if they implemented those physics ball woukd struggle to roll uphill so it's probably for the best
>>574159976Movement is one of Overwatch's best features though. Many people find source to feel cheap and awkward. Personally I find it very floaty and unresponsive in comparison to Overwatch, which feels very one-to-one.
>>574160120Erm sorry sir but Ana needs to be an S rank hero at all times or the world will end
Unironically every single game mode would be improved immediately if they just deleted Ana and Roadhog.
>>574160414Overwatch's movement is just immediately more graspable because it cheats all rules to enable the player to go in whichever direction he is pressing keys while airborne, which results in erratic airborne targets but that makes for interesting aiming challenges at least, with the downside of projectile airshots being somewhat more luck influenced. TF2's feels better and more of an extension of your body once you appreciate it because everything logically flows from a physics system and you can do way cooler projectile airshots with rockets, grenades, arrows etc., but most people don't have what it takes to ever get it.
enough with the tranny sperging about movement already holy FUCK
suggestion:Anti-heal and team cleansing effects should be exclusive to ultimate abilities.
good night hana
>>574160814whatever you say bud
Why can't they just make Freja air Tracer where her bolts only hit close like a projectile instead of becoming a flying hitscan?
Why is Ana too strong every season? Is this Saudi rigging for that Egyptian granny?
>>574159136reuse pve mechanics and have something that could compete with rivals
ana's nade spotted flying to tel aviv
>>574160946Her and Aspen at the same time
>>574159423I agree, tf2 is such a well balanced game fun game full of charmoverwatch feels too much like a sanitized and safe corporate product in comparison
>>574160946Counter counter: there should be an armored mercy clone in the tank role whose passive is a constant heal amp affect, and a self cleanse whenever she receives damage.
Why can't they make all heroes real so i can have sex with them? Blizzard is getting too lazy
>>574160946Take cleanse off suzu and lifegrip and put it on Transcendence and Tidal Blast and Sound Barrier and Valkyrie. Then anti-heal becomes about JQ ult vs support ult instead of 14 second cooldown vs 14 second cooldown? But there's only one ult that antiheals..
>>574161509So D.Mon
>randomly seething about kiriko for no reasoncan you fags keep this on reddit, thanks
if tf2 is so good, why arent you playing right now? why is that game a zombie? gaben just forgot its existence and the only reason it survives is they cant find the plug for tf2 in their basement server roomno i dont want to hear excuses or reasons, I just want slanders
>>574161540weaken nano significantly and put it on a 15 second cooldownincrease radius of nade, increase duration, remove damage, and make it an ultsuzu heal amps instead of cleansing. kitsune applies a one time cleanse the first time it affects an ally instead of lowering cooldowns.give antiheal to a dps ult. either a new dps, or apply it to an existing one. reaper makes sense thematically.
>>574161897Valve and Gabe are the epitome of laziness. CSGO is all they have going for them now. Deadlock seems to lose steam atm and nobody really likes playing Dota2 besides Ivans who are dying in a drone war.
>>574161628She's super OP in their games they never post replay codes for
>>574161897even good things must come to an end
>>574161897I love Overwatch and play it more than TF2 nowadays. I'm just defending it when people who have no idea have things to say
I hope they give 6v6 a role queueI miss having an off tank, rein zarya combo etcand since they wont give JQ the bruiser sub role in 5v5, I'll just play her in 6v6
>>574161597How could you know this? She isn’t out yet, also doesn’t dmon use a sword?StarCraft mercy marine would zap people to the extreme.
>>574161897They don’t actually miss playing TF2. They just miss that era of their lives.
>>574162198I've played her in both and honestly I like her in 5v5. i just play her like a dps and the better heal and shout are great. still fun in 6v6 but feels a bit more team reliant which I dislike.
>>574162325I just played a match and had lots of funs. I dunno what you are talking about.
they don't play tf2 because the people who still play tf2 are just like themfucking miserable and annoying chuds
seeing people seethe about tf2 in overwatch threads is like seeing people seethe about overwatch in marvel rivals threadsthe cycle never ends
>>574162650league > dotafite me
>>574162559Unfortunately they're not chuds at all, it's mostly trannies like OW. I just witnessed someone getting votekicked for calling someone a hebrew in voicechat on one of the new maps the other day and the guy who initiated the votekick was seething for several minutes afterward and that's basically normal now.
>>574138562welp fell back to Bronze 5, was fun while it lasted.lost three in a row immediately
>>574162714I never see shit like this playing overwatch. Never.
>>574162826Bronze 1*
>>574162325Projecting.
>>574162880Yeah because it's just report spamming instead of votekicking which doesn't exist in OW, plus in TF2 people know nothing is bannable and votekick from one casual match is the worst that can happen. Meaning in OW everyone just stays silent so as not to be devoured by those piranhas who hold all the power.
I don't get why Amelie gets twice more results on R34 than Lena. Lena is much cuter.
>>574156726
>>574158626I have a confession. I didn’t even care about this >>574158487 post. I just wanted any excuse to shoehorn a post bringing up TF2 and to see what would happen here. Last few posts say a lot lol.
It's not a TF2 or OW thing, there are lots of trannies playing video games because it's a hobby that no has to look at their faces and judge them, it's the perfect escapism for theythem
>>574163176LolLMAO even
>>574163432this reads as projection
>>574163176True
>>574163432Yes mr. anon, everything's trannies.
>>574163176tall blue frenchie with a fat ass vs short skinny lesbian transman
>>574163432No it's just because both TF2 and OW are highly appealing to spergy males and trooning out is the same, so there's naturally overlap.
>>574162559>>574162714>>574163757Too be honest with you all, As a former ball n gun player, I had always viewed TF2 as the silly game with the weird MLP bronie rainbow fanbase. Don’t know when or what happened that its perceived fanbase was suddenly viewed as racist chuds.
>>574123832https://youtu.be/Igs18kb96Pk?t=47This guy is legit going to fucking cry about stadium lmaoeasy lil bro your cortisol is spiking>>573915116>>573915842>>573917468oh no no no no no the stadium faggot is on suicide watchYOUR SHITTY THIRD PERSON MODE IS DEAD, FAGGOT. BYYYYEE! BYE BYEEEE!
If my team is being a bunch of pussies and not even making an attempt at a push, I reserve the right to preserve my fun and abandon them. Leave penalties are gay.
>>574164762Well before MLP, TF2 was filled with based racist chuds. Its come full circle.
>>574164762pretty much all valve titles have a chud adjacent playerbase>I had always viewed TF2 as the silly game with the weird MLP bronie rainbow fanbasewho do you think became the chuds?
>>574164762its both, similar to deadlock nowsaday, the fanbase is weirdly half racist nazi maga chuds and half gay tranny furry lefties.
>>574164762It's because TF2 and Mordhau are the only remaining games that have 4chan levels of non-policing so it just becomes perceived that way by default to people who didn't play games back when that was the norm. And don't forget one of the most popular servers with constant waiting queues in NA was the 4chan party van
Overwatch?
>>574165470dead and burried
i love Ashe she is my favorite character of all time in any media
So now that stadium is kill what are they going to do with the freed up dev resources?
>>574165367>>574165326>>574165232Yes Valve is the "based" company and Valve multiplayer games are generally understood to be barely moderated at all if at all. You can call someone a subhuman nigger all day long on Dota2, you'll only be banned if you go 0/40 running it down while doing so. Because they have delusions of Deadlock becoming the next big thing, and because it's already such a "streamer game" (everything they balance around is based off streamer and fake pro-player input) we may see a change in its moderation to be more hands on and strict.Valve games have always had that audience. But they've also always had the tranny/tumblr audience. Since like Portal 2, 2014 TF2 etc. they've had that audience of tranny-adjacent/art people/fujo girls.Overwatch for example is much more normie in general. And with the female player base I'd argue OW girls are way closer to "normie" and less femcel/art fujo types than Deadlock/Valve games.
>>574164925this nigga really admitted to never playing stadium after crashing out about it being removed
Now that Stadium and PVE are dead the next years of Overwatch are going to just look the same. We are back to the stagnant 2019 era.
>>574165923>digital copy buyer pc steam gamers crashing out after sony decides to stop releasing physical discs
>>574165923... I stopped watching just before he admitted that, only just heard it by continuing. lmao his voice was cracking he was so angry earlier but he only played Stadium a little at launch
We welcome all Stadium players to Marvel Rivals. We also get PVE events.Join the winning team.
>>574166661>we welcome all retards to the retard clubgood riddance

>>574167037I think they're doing true 2-2-2 after the 1-3-2 test
Now they can allocate resources towards the Overwatch anime
>>574167841an overwatch anime would end up being more gay than arcane
>>574165861Overwatch has the whole spectrum of women. Valve only have millennial fujos who came for TF2 gay porn and don't play any other Valve game besides a few hours on L4D.
>>574168083I’ll be ok with this depending on which OW lesbians would be going 2nd knuckle deep into each other.

Can't be Overwatch without doing something new and then completely abandoning it afterwards!
>>574166661I just miss Paladins, desu. Kinda shat all over Rivals and Overwatch at its peak.
>>574168918Overwatch is so painfully american, holy shit.
>>574169739*Overwatch is so painfully californian, holy shit.
>>574169563Never played it but I checked out some footage recently, and the guns do look like they feel really good, instantly reminded me of Realm Royale, which felt really good to shoot in despite everything including the third-person.
>>574169825Yeah, and California is core USA in good and bad. Rest of the nation is just dead weight mooching off of their success with zero cultural or economic contributions.
>>574170131good? where?
>>574170131But that's wrong. Texas and NY are on par economically with California and despite the stereotypes even states like Alabama and Mississippi have higher standards of living than the UK and France.
>>574169825This. Most of the retarded decisions and dialogue sound like some retard from SoCal doing it. Texas writers sound smarter and down to earth than a LA or San Diego cuck.
>>574165859Good mythic skins
>>574170131The whole eastern coast mogs. New Orleans is more culturally relevant than a state that has more outsiders than natives. Hollywood is all that they have.
>>574165859Full-scale versions of Place Lacroix and Redwood Dam would make me cum. Imagine 50% more push maps in the rotation. Then also 2 more points to go with Gogadoro so that's a whole new control map. Then Powder Keg Mine and Thames District. Time to test payload race in the base game. WHY FUCKING NOT
>>574170736> Place Lacroix and Redwood DamI like Dam but it's a bit uninspiring visually. Lacroix mid would make all the poke kiddies cry>Then also 2 more points to go with Gogadoro honestly I assumed this map was a teaser for a full map at first because why would they make this shit just for stadium>Time to test payload race in the base gameI love it but I don't know how you could make it last more than 5 minutes without the carts getting too out of sync to function
>>574171189>Lacroix mid would make all the poke kiddies cryThat's fine, they get Circuit and Havana they can tolerate Place Lacroix and Lijiang Night Market.
I need some insight. you're a wuyang. your tank is a junker queen, vs a ball. you have a widow on your team. do you>A: stay with your tank and team, provide heal amp and damage and stay in range of queen's knife so she can shit on ball whenever he tries something>B: stick to the backline widow, do 0 damage, get farmed by ball all game
>>574171387what if the widow is my e-bf
Do you bother to queue up a custom game to compile your shaders? I'll sometimes get these freezes like the game is calculating shit with an abacus.
>>574171387You just have to play to your strengths and hope your insane spam damage overcomes your vulnerability to Wrecking Ball. Try to cycle yoru cooldowns so each Ball engage only forces out either your wave or your surf, that way you always have one to stay alive with each time, if at all possible. And definitely play next to Queen rather than Widow since shout incentivizes that anyway
>>574171387Last time I played wuyang the tank yelled at me because of my low healing stat then left
https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=TBwtv_6zqyo>watching this out of curiosity (on 2x naturally)>Rivals shilling>at 7:02 he refers to Mercy as "Mercy our racebending Wasian queen"... w-what the fuck is this nerd talking about?My mind first interpreted this as reference to raceMIXING as in the GenjixMercy bullshit but then a second after my brain reprocessed it correctly.nigger what the fuck are you sayingMercy is a racebending wasian???
for me, it's baroness
>>574171783She's had a few skins where they made her look asian recently
>>574169206>hetslop dont be sad that you got groomed, smile that it happened
Damn I'm seeing more and more Freja and it's been awful every time. Who's idea was it to give a character that has burst damage with huge range, hyper mobility? How are you supposed to close the gap and actually engage her with dive when she can move like that? This is just aids. The only gameplay is to play something just as poky and shoot her.
>>574171783>Mercy is a racebending wasian???yes
>>574171783The fact that people unironically watch this ragebaiting trash explains a lot about /owg/
>>574171608exactly.to expand it further, let's say you did stay with the queen once, and she wrecked the ball that was raping you all game and you held the point by staying with her. would you:>A: Recognize that this new approach worked a lot better than the previous one and that maybe you should continue hanging out with queen>B: Go back to the widow and continue getting farmed, now by both a ball and a sombra
>>574171992>ragebaiting trashhow is it ragebait?
>>574171783>battlepasses shouldnt expire and return like in rivalshes right but bootlicking /owg/trannies will say no because marvel rivals did it first
>>574171949They should have left her damage alone, reduce the noise, and made her a flexdps instead. Idk why they keep getting it wrong. She's like Ball or Doomfist where either buff or nerf would cause some problems.
>>574172179They did it with Wuyang too. Back when he had a 56+% winrate and they had to decide how to nerf him, I wanted them to nerf his damage instead of his HP but no they really love to make people stay back and poke.

They return in THE FINALS.OW and other game battlepasses: full FOMO, buy them when they're available or miss out forever, and if you do buy them but don't play the game while they're live, you have your money literally stolen.Rivals: only available when they're out (afaik? I'm pretty sure I can't ever buy the Season 6 pass, for example) but can be completed at any time as long as you bought themThe Finals: buy them when they're out, finish them whenever you want, and 4 seasons down the line from their release anyone can buy them at any time (only the ULTIMATE edition battlepasses are full fomo afaik)Obviously The Finals has the best BP format and should be the standard.

>>574176059The thing I don't like about open queue is that everyone can shoot because it's an FPS so DPS is just Sonic from sonic 3. Support is Tails (Sonic + can fly) and tank is Knuckles (Sonic + can climb and glide) but DPS is just Sonic (Sonic)
>>574175601She better stop letting Wuyang play with her and save her family now. The webcomics are getting more retarded than her day dreams.
>>574176181>couldn't get her hair color right and instead put her as a bimbo blondeNuke SoCal.
>>574177165That's not bimbo blonde that's dirty blonde at best.
