@Bparthun Sawnan is a fkng hard man. He did all that. What's the problem? He's built a new rifle, that's probably going to be purchased by a DOD blank check, or as an SF operators personal weapon. And providing overwatch for our young people, in harms way. DEVGRU guy. War junkies.

Playing support in Overwatch 2 feels basically impossible. You are squishy as hell. Healing feels slow. And now you're expected to also dps. It's weird to play a game that has been so refined over time and yet still feels fundamentally broken.

@Kookieoce @inviqTT @tokibbi the real big issue with this, is this is the start of a rabbit hole that becomes Overwatch with slightly more difficult shooting mechanics. i think all he really needs is, 1. Longer flash duration, 2. Cancelable ult, and maybe a burn status over time from his wall and molly

@PlayOverwatch @Blizzard_Ent #Overwatch Just finished a QP match. Silver/Gold level I’d expect, but what in the $&@# is a TOP 500 player doing in this level? They post EZ in chat. So sick of this. Fix your matchmaking to block them from playing low levels.

@Mr_InfernoX0Psx @sherwin1v2 Or games that preachy about social issues. Like miles morales with the blm. Or adding things just for the sake of being diverse and not genuine. Like what overwatch did making characters gay just for the sake of it to come off PC.

@Grummz Overwatch is a diseased game anyway. I'd fix the models if I though it served the community but I hate Blizzard and they would patch it anyway.

@Stylosa @vgdunkey I agree Blizz slapped themselves in the face with how they tried to market the "OW2 PvP portion Closed Beta" but let's not pretend every content creator calling it OVERWATCH TWO!!! every 30 secs and in every title/thumbnail did not contribute to the issue

Paladins definitely has issues but genuinely to me right now it is a way more fun game then current overwatch. It just isn’t as polished I guess is how you would say that

This led to Blizzard buffing their already OVERTUNED supports and subsequently making every support a disgusting jack of all trades dps, healing, tanking monster. What overwatch needs is more tank and support variety and to fix the support gameplay loop

@NathanEdmonds This was a massive issue in the Overwatch community with social media and graphics a few years ago. People were constantly harassing staff and basically saying "I'm better hire me wtf" while ignoring just how much goes into building a campaign's worth of assets/copy.

Overwatch 2 looks like some ***. It doesn’t even address core issues with the first game

@medster101 They have that in arcade in overwatch 1. Role Queue is ok but matchmaking is a joke as a result. The bigger problem with the game was always the balance though.

@JokerDPS_OW @YouTubeGaming Obvious of why the game should have just stayed buried. Adding a new hero, changing a name of one, and adding what 2 new maps? Isn’t going to fix the issues that made overwatch 1 an awful game in the first place. Hypothetically speaking if you took a **** and put a bow on it

Overwatch 2 is an embarrassment it has the exact same problems as 1 down to queue, they removed a tank instead of just taking brigette out and admitting triple tank was bullshit, the supports are still dogshit. All while charging $60 for mobile game style pve.

This is going to be Overwatch on drugs. Big launch, followed by a collapse, just instead of it happening over the course of two years, it will be six months. Fine for a lot of other studios and publishers, but a disaster for a live service game

Same in #Overwatch: If I am in the main menu or play against bots - the sound is normal. But as soon as I join an actual match, the sound quality goes to ****. I bought a new computer with Windows 11. Ever since then, I have this problem. I never had this problem. What to do?

@RoonKolos @Vulturfakes you really wanna say Paladins has higher quality than Overwatch? A character having a flat *** from an angle isn't a "problem"

I hate getting passionate about game balance but I will say this as I've always said in the past. Overwatch's main issue is that Supports are objectively broken BUT from the support player perspective you don't get any feedback which FEELS BAD and is not a good gameplay loop.

Overwatch is dead and Overwatch 2 can't fix that when it's 99% still the exact same game, just with 1 less character and the same balancing issues and idiotic queue times as always. Rest in peace #Overwatch2

@M0LA3 Also OW2 seems to be more story focused, which is not a bad thing. The actual problem is that the Overwatch story suckkkssss

@HPDynasty_ Flash fan was always fairly unfun, but flash was definitely a problem on its own for tanks. Generally, if I got flash fanned in Overwatch, it was my mistake that caused it.

Thinking about all the zero-sum video games I've invested in over the years, and I can honestly only think of 3. Super Smash Bros. Melee, Overwatch, and most recently, Yu-Gi-Oh Master Duel. The problem I have with zero-sum video games is I tend to get burnt out on them.
