@Cumies_R_chunky @DeadByBHVR Not gonna lie but no. It would start the same problem star wars battlefront had. Sure the overwatch boxes are fine but really..the game is complicated enough for new player. Tho a need game mode would be interesting

hey zag can I borrow $10

@thefuckistevvs @bolooooohhhhh I’ve spent hundreds of dollars on overwatch loot boxes alone before realizing it was a problem. And then cookie run was doing the same to me too. Loot boxes are a serious gambling issue and they shouldn’t exist.

Hot take: No one asked for a 5v5 Overwatch experience nor did we need it The devs literally haven't played their game if they don't see the current issues that everyone has with the game.

My only issue with overwatch going 5v5 is actual pro teams. Every single team has to sacrifice a tank player out. What are they gonna do? Find another team with even lower earnings?

New Overwatch 2 changes's Opinion 5v5: ❌ It does not convince me too much. The main problem is that they are going to eliminate a pool tank and not a dps quota. Maps: GOOD all of them✅ (Especially Rome and New York) Torb Design: Its ok 👏✅ (1/2)

Here is my peace on Overwatch as a 5v5 game. 1. So many tank players at Pro level are gonna lose jobs. From Tier 1 - 3, it will happen. 2. Instead of solving the overall problem of tanks not bring fun to play, its just been removed instead.

@codecbot @PVPX_ However, I don’t think there is a clear solution to that problem. When I think of other games in ranked, such as CSGO, LoL, Siege, Halo, Overwatch, etc., they all have that same issue. 2/4

@danteh The overwatch dev team is not very notoriously good at balancing, also hitscan is going to be broken asf, it doesn't matter if you have flank routes because hanzo can delete you with storm arrow or 1 shot you, mccree has flash, ashes dynamite can pressure u out and widows grapple

Changing Topics off Overwatch, @Ford released the F150 Lightning an all electric full size truck. My first take, is that while it's innovative and has some unique features, it's still a waste of money like every other EV since the problems all EVs have have not been addressed.

@DB_Stand I still enjoy it and play almost daily. It just has a lot of issues that it looks like they're addressing in Overwatch 2 so I have hopes for it

This was a fun game aside from the broken MM, terrible changes, and no path to pro. Overwatch 2 might be all the changes that makes the game better.

Overwatch making a MASSIVE change to the game after FIVE years to "fix" their game and trying to play it down by saying "oh we've done this before with 2-2-2 and not letting you pick 6 Winston's" is a huge testament to how incompetent the balancing team at ow is. 5v5 isn't ow.

(@mentalstuck) reported
I swear bro destiny 1 and destiny 2 severs are the best severs I have ever seen in any game. If I'm lagging in any other game like overwatch or csgo and my internet is trash I hop on destiny and I get no lag what so ever where as if i hop on overwatch I lag a ton.

I strongly feel that Jeff Kaplan did not choose to leave on his own and that he only did “willingly” bc a higher up told him to leave bc he didn’t agree with changes. Dude loves Overwatch. He was the only one standing up for us that hated certain changes, to fix them.

Now my problems with Destiny have infected Overwatch. I might just give up on the whole PC thing. Not my luck it seems.

People have been crying over @PlayOverwatch for 5 years that its broken. Blizzard has a solution, the people find another problem. Blizzard: offers us Overwatch 2 to start from scratch, create new metas, and please everyone. Everyone: "i dOnT LIkE cHAngE, GaMe iS bAD"

The first two justifications for 1-2-2 were that 6v6 is "too chaotic" and that "two mains tanks is too oppressive." Chaos is what made Overwatch Overwatch. Quick thinking and problem solving. I'm sorry your 40+ yr old minds and casuals you have play testing can't keep up.

@PlayOverwatch (4) Dive, Rush, Halt Hook, Double Bubble IS #overwatch; removing a character changes the core of the game please don't even try to tell me otherwise. And then we have the issue of the long queue times, where do you think those players will go to? I expect longer queues.

Dear nyakii12, I would like to apologise for playing Torbjörn. It was a poor decision I made in my youth, and now that I have had time to reflect and grow, I understand the error of my ways. In the future, I will refrain from trolling on Overwatch by playing the hero (1/?)

@PoMoTV_ @CSGO I have the same issue. Never killed a team mate, doing 10-12 overwatch per day. Helping others. getting positive coms. Never cheated. Never left a game, never got kicked. Just one disconnect due to internet several weeks back. And 50% of matches have at least 1 spinbot...

@RhynO_OW What a ridiculous take. The problem with Overwatch 1 was that they tried to market the game to 2 different audiences; the casual players, and the competitive players. As long as they cater the game to ONE of those groups, the game will turn out fine. You're clearly showing bias.

really don’t know what to think about overwatch becoming 5v5. i feel like this is only a temporary fix for the queuing issues.

Many people in this community want Overwatch to stay exactly as it is, but also explode and become a huge game again. That's impossible. Just F2P wouldn't fix it. Tanks have to be more fun, and queues have to be shorter. This might not accomplish that but at least it's an attempt

@Kaleigh1103 @RatchetRivet @THQNordic It's probably the same "technical issues" that's keeping Rocket League, Overwatch, and COD from running the enhanced versions on ps5. Which is the way PS implemented Back compact for cross gen games they would have to make new ps5 only versions.

@RealGermanPeter The harsh truth is toxicity is everywhere you go. Yeah tf2 has some bigotry, so does Overwatch, League, Call of Duty, hell, Minecraft youtubers being diddlers is a meme at this point. Doesn’t mean you jump ship on a 10+ year old game a ton of good people have love for. You fix it

Still solves q times, visual clutter and carry potential issues. Balance would be a nightmare, just like 1-2-2 would be either way but soft lock would allow for original Overwatch promise of diverse comps and matchups, would add more depth to the game. (3/3)
