overwatch doesnt need more heroes... it needs more hero balance.

I would love to be mildly interested but all I see is another hero that is OP at launch to sell more battle passes and another support character that no one wants to play. Meanwhile, the 5v5 gameplay is still no good for tanks and we have no word on the PvE that was supposed to have been the real draw of Overwatch 2.

I was going to comment but this pretty much sums up my feelings on the state of the game and new hero.

It's pretty obvious the devs are only interested in pushing sales of the battle pass and not balancing the existing roster or adding more free content like maps.

Whaaa, permanent avoid. Goodbye all the trolls and idle MF ruining matches for people

Does Overwatch have a tier based ranking system? I could see some spiteful players simply avoiding players who are better than themselves.

blackblades32d ago

There is a limit to how many though. 1st it was avoid 3 players for like 7 days now thats permanent. Whole avoiding others for a week then you'll have to we add them and its like 15 slots I remember

too little too late
should have done this in the first place instead of of 2 players for a short time

blackblades32d ago

Its not to late, when people are still playing it.

isarai32d ago

You mean like a block list? 🤔

blackblades32d ago

Na, there is a block list but that just basically a mute for them but still able to play with them. Avoid is just avoiding but they did say you'll still end up playing with them if queue time is long which is never long these days

isarai32d ago

Ive never once experienced a block function that only muted them, then again i haven't really played pvp mp regularly since bf1. But every time I have blocked someone i never matchmake with them again.

This is a different system because modern gaming

What ultimately killed the game for me is not the cancer-tier monetization or broken promises, it's 5v5. As a former tank player the game got insanely boring to me so I quit. If they bring back 6v6 then I might be willing to cope with all the garbage and give the game another go. If I'd keep playing is another question ofc.

It's kinda funny tho, if they go back to 6v6 then what even will still be left from the original promise? Besides the cancerous monetization change I mean. 2 gamemodes? Lol.

PRIMORDUS86d ago

I don't play this shit and don't care about Blizzard (they shouldn't exist), but Paladins is 5v5 and it works fine.

redrum0686d ago

Bringing back 6v6 would be good, it's what I miss the most from OW 1.
