So when and where is the funeral?

And Hanzo is still OP as fuck!

feedthereaper2601d ago

Tell me about it..... I was Bastian, and yet I was one-shot one-kill from half a map away, while full 300 health AND pressing my repair button at the time, in a hope any hit he made on me as I ran would be fixed quickly..... and it failed, instant kill by him!
The same guy Team Killed all of my team twice, single handed, within 2 minutes, just by being Hanzo, and I am talking against a D.Va and Roadhog in my team too!
I am not saying that the guy couldn't play because he clearly was very highly skilled and knew how to make full use of Hanzo, but the character, clearly in the right hands is ridiculously overpowered and can wipe out entire teams of players in a few seconds, and that is without using the Ultimate!

As for Ana, I think she is okay as she is..... none of the healers by themselves is particularly good either offensively or healing, but when paired up with a second healer they make the team a whole lot more unstoppable. If anything, I think the one thing Ana needs is slightly higher damage in her offensive shots. You should be able to feel you can do a solo kill against a player with most characters (Even Mercy, if switching to her pistol can just about take down a D.VA or Roadhog if you run and shoot enough!) but with Ana, its harder to get several shots in a row on a character like Roadhog...... and when you do, they are usually not enough damage in them to make a significant kill, which leaves Ana as simply the healer, and a nerfed one at that.
Increase her damage by 15% or so and see whether that balances her out.

kaizokuspy2601d ago

The problem with Ana is her time to kill another hero should not be on par or even better than mccree. She requires less precision to get 3 body shots on a squishy bc of her guns hitbox. In fact she did 80 dmg per body shot where as mccree and Reinhardt only do 75 respectively minus crits. She's a support, not supposed to be a dps with heals.

zaherdab2601d ago

Well bastion is still OP as fuck ... he wont even die from a Reinheart pin ... he's 3/4 a tank now

vickers5002601d ago

Bastion deserves to be one shotted while in turret mode.

...but she got her Nade reverted back. Only her damage was cut by 20.

I don't get it.

This was posted before Blizz reverted her changes.

I Miss the Original Overwatch

Blizzard's blending of the FPS and MOBA was a masterpiece of design that met its end too soon.

Tedakin331d ago

I miss 6v6, lootboxes and an actual player level. I used to look forward to Junkenstein's Revenge at Halloween and the Christmas event cause of all the cool cosmetics you could earn. I'd play it every day. Now you play it for an hour, earn some stupid charm, and you're done. No reason to play anymore.

ActualWhiteMan331d ago

RIP OW2 is trash. My friends stopped playing it like we used to the first one every Friday night.

smoothdude331d ago

this. loved overwatch 1. 2 is no fun. there is lots to play… find something you like.

Gardenia330d ago

I'd never thought I would say this but the loot boxes in Overwatch wasn't so bad compared to what it is now.

GoodGuy09331d ago

I remember those epic dreamworks-like CGIs. I wasn't a fan at all but man, I knew it was a rediculously huge game. OW2 I've seen...nothing, died maybe after a week.

moomoo319330d ago

OW2 is a disaster. All these years to make the game 5v5….? And they scrapped PvE? The game just sucks man zero fun.

Activision Shows Concerns Over The Call Of Duty And Overwatch League's Longevity

Activision has admitted that its Call of Duty and Overwatch eSport Leagues are facing challenges that the company might fail to address.

just_looken350d ago

Ha ha these have been in trouble fort awhile so now we talk about it/address it?

How about you explain why you make billions but always have layoff's.

S2Killinit350d ago

Activision:
Woe is me

These guys come off so disingenuous.

ModsDoBetter350d ago

The timing is strange but COD has been on a nosedive for several years & then followed by the backlash of Overwatch 2.

sadraiden349d ago

COD has literally never been more popular. Every single year it sells more and more copies than the previous year. Don't know what you mean by nosedive.

ModsDoBetter349d ago (Edited 349d ago )

@sadraiden

It has taken a nosedive in quality.
However, as you based your argument on sales numbers, let's take a dive, shall we?

"COD has literally never been more popular"
COD has literally been more popular.

See: MW2 sales numbers estimate to be at 8million copies sold at the end of 2022 (no official numbers released) yet Black Ops (2010) sits at a staggering 31million copies sold.

"Every single year it sells more and more copies than the previous year"
Again, not true.

(In release order)
Black Ops - 31 million copies
Modern Warfare 3 - 30 million copies
Black Ops 2 - 29 million copies
Ghosts - 28 million copies
Advanced Warfare - 21 million copies
Black Ops 3 - 26 million copies
Infinite Warfare - 13 million copies
WWII - 19 million copies
Black Ops 4 - 14 million copies
MW2019 - 30 million copies
Cold War - 30 million copies
Vanguard - Unreleased sales numbers
MW2022 - No solid numbers yet, though as above - 8 million estimated as of end of 2022

As you can see "every single year it sells more and more copies than the previous year" is an inaccurate statement with the sales numbers fluctuating, though I do feel MW2022 would sell well over the course of the year.

luckytrouble350d ago

This timing isn't that weird. eSports are notorious money sinks, and organizations have been failing one after another the past few months as funds dry up and popularity wavers. Critical who is one of the runners of his own eSports organization has been extremely candid about the fact that there's really no money to be made, and a lot of suits that had their companies throw money at the concept are just starting to give up and move on.

Profchaos350d ago

Just to coincide with the CMA appeal woe is us

smolinsk350d ago

Wow and they have totally done it to them Self with zero innovation.

shinoff2183350d ago

Exactly. Biggest game in gaming and they crying. Stfu acti

ModsDoBetter350d ago

They really dropped the ball with COD ever since WW2 I’d say.

Year after year it’s just disappointment after disappointment and it only got worse with Warzone and MW2019 - seasonal progression, battle pass, goofy skins, not listening to player feedback, you name it.

merlox350d ago

Call of duty was only good when they were WWII. Activision should go back to how they started. Also, they can make the single player stories longer. Not everyone plays the multiplayer.

porkChop350d ago

A lot of people here couldn't even read the headline. This isn't about the games themselves, it's about the esports leagues.

shinoff2183350d ago

Put the money into it. You have the biggest game in gaming.

porkChop350d ago

Agreed. They can obviously afford it.

ChasterMies349d ago

If people don’t like playing the games as much, then why would they want to watch other people play it?
