That tank tip about identifying what damage you can and cannot deal with genuinely feels like it's opened my mind. I get it now.

This is why duo queue is so strong on tank at the moment. Tank isn't in a great spot, so the fastest way to climb is to have someone that can cover your hero's weakness every game.

13:25 Blizzard shooting themselves in the foot and ruined there own competive scene cause of greed is the most unsurprising thing ever. The fun part of all this is that they never learn, they go like au my foot , I'm an idiot and the next day, hmm how the hell is there a hole in my foot.

I mean it's also that their entire city system was just weird. Cloud9, Faze, Astralis all feel like real teams to root for. But wtf is London Spitfire? Also I always hated how they changed the colors in pro matches, not having the game in red and blue makes it so much harder for me to understand, abilities being grey all of the sudden instead of a normal color is just weird.

[@Tailstraw_xD]

I wish it wasn't like this, but it's true. I've been a Blizz fan since Warcraft II came out. I played wow for almost 14 years straight. It's been like watching an old trusty buddy start doing meth and turn into a fiend. You wanna root for them but they never stop making the same mistakes

[@SophSophSoph298]

Killing 3rd party tournaments is a death knell for any competitive game honestly. The longest running comp games are build and held by the community and any attempt the original devs had to steal it was met horribly. Removing 3rd party tournaments just meant less tourneys which meant less people willing to risk a tourney (players spectators and funders)

[@carlbot2]

I've never understood how a company can disallow people running their own tournaments. What legal authority do they hold over that? I'm sure they have some, but it's ridiculous that they can have any.

Bro, I feel that. "What if my team doesn't deal with them comment." I've lost so many games recently to dive. Not even full dive or good dive. Genji winton, and I'm watching the ashe or soj with two supports pocketing them and my team is crying for me to turn around. I guess I just lose and go next? The only issue is that it's not like a one game experience. It's been almost everytime, hell I lost that same scenario. I was hog vs ball tracer ashe. My team all died to a ball even when I'd hook and kill ashe. It is just next level infuriating.

I started playing in a team and with a coach because I wanted to rank up, even started dreaming about tournaments, went and checked out and there was barely anything, hard to find and pretty much no way into "bigger leagues". There should be a pro scene and it should have multiple tiers, mutiple tournaments, I would take a look at CS and how successful that is, Valve chooses tournament orgs to host Majors, that is the creme de la creme, with open and close qualifiers. I think there is a chance, just let people who know the deal host them to begin with. AND NO FRANCHISING.

Bringing OWL back would be a terrible idea. It hemorrhaged money, everyone pretended to watch it but the audience wasn't their, and players would force teammates to use strategies and comps that were impossible to imitate successfully in their rank. Owl also used resources that could of went to smaller departments. Overall The support for league was absent and ppl just want it back cause it's gone.

[@Tiptronics]

The problem with a pro scene for overwatch, is that they haven’t sorted the competitive mode or community team features (like a clan system) So players can’t take the game seriously anyway. That and the inorganic nature of OWL, was a recipe for disaster, how was anyone supposed to care about their “local” teams, when teams weren’t selected from their cities, they were all just Koreans? Not racisim but koreans are kinda rare here in the UK, even in london it’s a slim amount. So when all the teams were entirely korean it’s hard to feel like “oh that’s my team” you know? One of the few instances a little representation matters. The lack of grassroots tournaments is also what killed it. They wanted a premier league, but forgot to enable any divisions underneath that 🤷‍♂️ To this day we are lacking clans/teams, clan/team tournaments, clan/team events, a competitive system that doesn’t feel biased or broken. There needs to be an emphasis on playing BEYOND qp/comp and encouraging community. (Maybe a streamer event, where a selection of streamers get a team, you pick who you want to support and your wins go to the creators’ tallies’. and the winning team gets currency, and the winning creator gets a week or a few days of exclusive drops (ontop of support a streamer)) There needs to be financial incentives (better ways to earn gold currency, such as tournaments or limited time events) to improve the grind of the game and repair the relationship with the community. Enable the ability to purchase old battlepasses and play through at your own pace - or at least allow those who have bought the premium pass to do so (as we know you intend to put old pass items in the shop on rotation) There is so much to FIX that a competitive scene needs to be last on their mind - that scene will come. Speaking as a community and marketing strategist, Esports is a function of it’s community and is marketing not for profit - which is why OWL failed so miserably. You cannot expect much back from a community when all you do is take value rather than add it.

[@ultrahotwings9738]

To be honest, looking back at Blizzard killing the third party tournaments.. .. i know it's popular and fashionable to just say "fuck Kotick, he ruined the game", but i genuinely wonder how much of OWL's downfall was tired to his influence and policies and attitude.. AND if he really was responsible for a big portion of it's failure, could the new Blizzard, under Microsoft, basically succeed where Kotick Blizzard failed? Just food for thought. It also would be nice to have a league again like UGC was. Disregarding what happened at the end with the sponsor thing.. it was healthy for the Overwatch community to have one (or two, with GGNA back then) tournaments that everyone mentally defaults to when asked "where could we go to sign up for a tournament?". I remember my first time participating in UGC (as a coach) and facing Gonzaga in one of our matches. Speaking of Gonzaga, i wonder how the OW leagues are doing in the collegiate scene...

sombra/hog rework kinda marked an unhealthy age for OW2 imo. We've all complained about hack and hook and how it makes the hero either absolutely busted or worthless but instead of a full rework we got a low effort small scale rework that didnt actually fix what we complained about. Now that mauga is out and he basically is the same exact way, people have noticed an unhealthy pattern.

Being a newcomer to OW2, these videos finally make me understand why Blizzard is the most hated game company.

Maybe it’s just me as a support player, but most of the problems of OW2 come from 5v5. The reason I think this is true is because with the lack of that second tank to peel for the supports in the back line so blizzard needed to make it so that supports wouldn’t just constantly get killed by DPS. Maybe someone has said this before and my opinion may be wrong as well. -gold support player

most of OW2's problems aren't specific to 5v5, although the game feeling less fun definitely is a part of that.
