i'd like to add to this a huge part of why role queue sucked in ow1 and had large disparity between DPS/healers/tanks, lack of options. u pick tank and u had to go shield defense or dive, or roadhog nothing else, yet blizzard is too fuckin braindead that they just see numbers and be like "heh we solved role queue problem by making it 5v5" not realizing fact that people play who they like so putting cool characters in any role incentives more players to play that role

@Pfish1000 Ай бұрын

@@solsensei6939 I'd like to see them rather than a only one of each hero and a forced 2-2-2 if they only limited the total number of tanks to no more than 3 and maybe no more than 2 or 3 of the same hero, that would solve a lot of the issue while still retaining that chaotic energy of release overwatch. Obviously, just as a game mode, at least to start, but I think that could legitimately balance Classic enough for a non oppressive casual play. Maybe not to a competitive level, but it could be something if they wish to make this a more long-term game mode.

My absolute favorite part about this is just seeing how much faster the time to kill was in OW1. Obviously there are no burst healers in this version, HOWEVER, you can actually punish people in OW1 because mobility and sustain was much more scarce. This is unlike OW2 where it takes 2k dmg to kill one target. Also tanks being able to die is wayyy more fun and interactive rather than shooting a brick wall of a tank in OW2 (with 700 health, dmg mitigation, shield, etc). They can take things from both games and create something truly fun and unique. Overall I really enjoyed this test and am looking forward to the last week where we get a more recent version of OW1.

Tanks actually had their defined roles, not as jack of all trades; 6. DPS were actually a huge threat; 7. Solo-carry was much more possible.. ; 8 .. while individual mistakes were actually less punishing. Idk. -- Change the whacko no limits to 1 hero limit -- Restore the best UI parts like post-game cards while keeping the good ones like the new scoreboard -- Remove the atrocious monetization (yeah not gonna happen) -- Keep what makes heroes fluid, like Genji's 1.0 movement while adding modern solutions to clunky stuff, like Hog's heals movement, new Lucio's ride and D.Va's charge DM -- Fix clearly broken stuff like hook 1.0 and FTH -- Fix the insane ult charge rate -- Restore new tech like hook turn and NOT add Ana and stuff that resulted in power/healing/CC creep (yeah, I like Sombra, but she kick-started the CC creep) -- Do not, do NOT, DO NOT try to balance it around GM. Sorry, GM - there isn't even an OWL now and GM is 0.something% of players. It was fun and popular when it was balanced around casual fun. You got a winner.

Yeah going back to launch overwatch has really solidified my opinion that supports and too much healing killed the game as time went on. Yes heroes were a bit broken in ways and I miss lots of QOL things, but things actually die, there is attrition through damage and characters have windows of vulnerability. Then I have a game of 5v5, have sojourn in my face with no fear because any damage I do to her is instantly healed by an impossible to kill mercy (despite her stupid ult she was rightly more vulnerable in classic) then next game our whole team gets stomped by a mauga smurf.

It's insane to see how much worse it's gotten over the years since I quit. Insanely long ttk, the game devolved into two clumps where no one strays from the hive, role lock means I lost my place as a player who would flex between dps and tank heroes as the team needed, it's been rough to see.

I actually like how squishy you are, how the healing isn't near infinite. One of the things that really turned me off from later OW and OW2 was how the healing was immense, fights took ages, and killing one person would take half a year, it was boring. OW as it was on launch feels both faster and slower, heros are slower, but the rounds feel faster, it feels like more is happening because the kill feed is having a fit, it's amazing. And every stupid OP thing you can do has an answer, even in no limits, which I missed a lot.

I don't know why there's so much hate for Open Queue. It's actively the better game mode in current OW2 5v5. Even in QP, role queue just feels bad overall unless you're T500.

@eckroattheeckroat4246 Ай бұрын

I like hero limits, but I don' tlike Role Queue. Role queue definitely gave a more consistent experience, but for me it just was also consistently less fun. Overwatch is messy and a little chaotic, and I think tha'ts a good thing. The objective based game play (control points, fixed spawn points and such) adds order. But for team comps? I say let players go a little crazy. I play open queue these days whenever possible, but it's kinda janky because the tanks just aren't tuned for it, even with the HP reduction.

I got my friend who didn't play overwatch 2 OR overwatch 1, and we kind of just kept going back and forth between the modes. Overwatch 1 feels noticeably clunkier and the balance is terrible, but it has that charm that even a brand new player can enjoy like how unique the characters are and how differently their gameplay feels, but overwatch 2 has the fluidity and balance, as well as the most uniform gameplay of role queue that he also enjoyed (He did not enjoy the 4 hanzo games or the 5 widow games). He also really liked playing Moira and the new tanks, which the classic version didn't have. One thing we both noticed, though, was that ow2 doesn't have the high highs classic has, while at the same time having much more depressive low-energy kind of lows. Like having a bad DPS player on OW2 made the game feel like we were kind of just waiting the game to be playable, constantly waiting for a respawn or someone to get even remotely low enough to take advantage of, whereas in classic you can make plays on your own time whenever you want due to how quickly things die, especially since so many games are 4-5 DPS per team. One thing I noticed in particular is that having a frustrating game on OW2 made me not want to do another and just hop off for something else, but in OW1 even if we got straight rolled and the game was super quick, I still had quite a bit of fun and was down to keep grinding.

I cannot believe THAT was the game that started it all and won game of the year. It's actually terrible. I go back and play classic versions of games I like a lot less than OW (old Halo's on MCC, old CODs) and they're better than the new ones, but OW has improved so much and the classic version is by far inferior. Every hero is horribly unbalanced and no-limits translates to 4 torbs, a zen, and a hog on my team every time.

@LordEpos Ай бұрын

Overwhelmingly wrong. I love launch overwatch, I am having the time of my life here, I love having the options to try weirder team comps, the option to do 6 soldiers or whatever alone is more fun than anything added in Overwatch 2, and when someone goes a hero I'm bad against, I can just actually swap to counter them instead of being stuck on a role with no options or hoping my teammate swaps off my character. I am the "there's nobody" you mention in this video, and this gamemode is doing numbers because I'm not alone. I would be playing more Overwatch and enjoying it more if they had never updated it once since 2016, and my biggest complaints are features from 2016 that aren't here like the end cards.
