did we forget why hero shooters work

[@B0lletalpha]

We need server browsers back, dead games can sprout back when a small player base can easily locate each other, 1 discord server can be the one thing keeping a game from kicking the bucket. Matchmaking only works for multi-thousand player numbers, especially when trying to add skill based matchmaking in the mix. We’re now seeing the consequences of that structure.

Regarding Marvel Rivals, it seems to me that the lore is not particularly thought out, but this is not a problem since the lore of Overwatch stopped at 3 released missions. Yes, they tell the past of the new/old characters, but the main plot is literally stuck in one place. Therefore, I think for Marvel Rivals it will be enough to write down the dialogues.

1:21 The TTK in the vast majority arena shooters is definitely high, statistically speaking. The rest of what you said is fine.

The only thing I disagree with here is the idea that new players should be blocked from using more complex characters to start, but that may be personal bias. See, I almost universally wind up picking difficult or unusual characters as my first in a new game entirely by accident, it's a personal curse. League of Legends? Kassadin was my first. I played him toplane. Overwatch? Bastion. Paladins? Ruckus. Gigantic? Rutgar. I could keep going. The thing is, I didn't drop these games because I picked someone above my skill level. I would have been far less enthusiastic about Overwatch if I had to play 10 games as Soldier 76 before I could play the characters I actually wanted to play. Maybe I'm an outlier here, though.

ruckus not really that complex but i see ur point imo if u want complexity in kit its all about pip

[@kevingriffith6011]

@@exomoneylabel Funny, Pip was my second. That being said, Ruckus isn't that complex kit wise, but he pays for his high mobility by being really punishing for playing him badly... at least last I played.

Yeah, accessibility doesn't hinder new players like you said. Alot of the failed "hero shooters" were third person mobas falsely advertised as a hero shooter. Imagine if Smite was advertised as a hero shooter and you're all excited to play then surprise! the community finds out it's actually a different genre that they have no interest in.

Who is talking here? That's not you.

[@lukepower117]

Neat video, Links to the games aren't in the discription as of now

[@Fishnit]

Thanks for the reminder, fixed

[@Jkclone056]

You having footage of pip gameplay at the start when you were talking about a game or something "not getting the success it deserves" wasnt a coincidence was it? Lmao

[@TheGreatDanish]

Hero Shoters have a terminal issue and its TF2. Why play modern hero shooters when a game who's population is over 80% literal bots is just already better?

[@onionbrotm570]

Funny that you mention it, because they just had a ban wave on the bots in casual.

[@343ishill]

Because it's not on console...

[@jessavelane]

You forgot Star Wars Hunters

Deadlock is going to kill. That game is badass.

Overwatch players are tired of the game and Blizzard's god awful decisions and BEGGING for something different. Just the alpha alone had people saying a ton of good things about Marvel Rivals and asking for more. Honestly unless the devs mess it up with horrible monetization I can easily see Rivals threatening Overwatch. Competent devs and Marvel and as a brand will take it far. Just gonna have to wait and see how things get handled
