[@depthcharge5091]

I think what people don’t understand when people say overwatch is a dead is that they mean the soul of the game is dead. Overwatch generates no hype at all and the player base is in a war fighting over what format of the game is better because the devs are terrible at decision making. The only reason people still like overwatch is because people are attached to these characters and the story of the game not the gameplay itself, but even then they have not done anything with these characters in months. Overwatch is a stain among the gaming community as a whole and is considered dead by many. Marvel Rivals is just better

[@Saintphish]

And the more people keep buying the more blizzard stays the same

[@ABF_x]

Just as a correction. You CAN buy all skins with credits, with the exception of shop ones. The reason it says the gold premium coins is you dont have enough credits and can't buy more of those, and so you could, theoretically, always have enough (if you buy more gold ones)

[@KingOfKazoos]

[@f687sNFM]

It died when the "2" was added. Ive seen groups of people talking about how they can barely able to afford the skins, but when asked why buy them when it will hurt them financially, their response is "i cant help it, I gotta have it"

[@Erickhetfield]

They are dumb and the reason why the gaming Industry turned into this mess.

[@karman9585]

OW night was very common with my family. We'd get on our respective devices and kick some ass. When it became free, I was so excited to play OW2 with my bf, only to find out you have to grind to get a majority of the characters. Not new heros that come out, but old preexisting ones such as Junkrat. It's hard because I know his general play style, I know which character he'd connect the most with, but we have to grind through 100 or so matches as Genji if he wants it, and the community is not very gentle to new players who are figuring out how to play. The hate we'd receive was atrocious at best.

[@karman9585]

It breaks my heart that I'll never get the "OW?" text from my family again or hear my mom go, "Good luck with that," as she resed us in the middle of a battle. Maybe we'll find a new game to fill that hole and we can all play, but still.

[@angzarrpsyco]

I find it still absurd that game companies are effectively able to promise something massive, like a large-scale game mode, and just, never really release it

[@blightadee]

To be fair, blaming the devs for the scrapped PvE or the skin prices is just wrong. It was an upper management issue from the very beginning. Since the cancellation multiple people who have worked on OW2 mentioned how they barely got any resources for the additional content, got weird requests from management that they sometimes just changed their mind on AFTER the team has finalized it. And amidst all of this, they had meet, at times, absurd profit quotas.

[@VayreenaVulpera]

On the monetization: dont forget the battle pass doesn't even reward enough coins to buy it again... like pretty much every other game does it

[@cyfertea8707]

I mean I can save coins to buy one battlepass for free for maybe 2 battlepasses. Literally now I saved enough to buy 2 battlepass for free. That's better than most battlepass systsems where the only means to get it is to buy it with real money

[@VayreenaVulpera]

@cyfertea8707 most games with battlepasses will award you enough ingame currency to buy the next one and even have more left over or ave ways to earn the currency ingame. In OW2 you can save up the currency from 2 passes yes, but its a 3 for the price of 2 model, esspecially since they removed coins from weekly challenges

[@Erickhetfield]

Destiny doesn't even have the option.

[@vaylevr]

Credits can actually be used for higher tier skins, But it doesn't show the option UNTIL you have enough.

[@KingOfKazoos]

Yeah that was a mistake on my part, although bit of an odd design choice by them

[@axios4702]

​​@@KingOfKazoos It's not an odd design choice, it's purpose is to make you think you have to buy those skins so you will cave in and open your wallet. By the time you complain about it they've already gotten at least 20 quid out of you and your argument about it being unfair that they can only be bought with real money becomes invalidated when a fan points this out to defend them. It's all psychological warfare and deception with Live Service games.

[@supershotgun6921]

I knew about OW1 but got into it when it became free and started playing for the sole reason to play with my friends. I got super into it and they left mostly around season 5 to 6. Within the first couple seasons I got more hours on Ow2 than my friends did who started Ow1. Now I really want to quit (I havent touched the game in like half a month) because the balance sucks and 5v5 is so much worse than 6v6 (especially for tanks) Watching Ow1 gameplay shows a night and day difference especially when it comes to how content creators enjoyed it. A lot of the content creators I watch now are really depressed and not having fun with the game, while in overwatch 1 even during double shield meta, they still had the possibility of being happy while playing the game seriously. Now half of the time they either play quickplay, mindlessly grind ranked with a it is what it is mentality, or play other games.

[@AGenericTakodachiW4H]

My main problem with overwacth, is that in every game i play the damage characters deal something around 5k or even 7k if they have the most Kills, but the tanks almost everytime they have over 15k of damage dealth, the only reason they dont get the kills is because they hit slower than the damage characters so they just get the last shot to steal the kill

[@nm3k511]

13:08 statement is partly true, but mainly due to the balance team back then failed to adhere to the advice the community was trying to give. Like Brigitte for example, she wasn't too crazy except for the level of sustain she can provide with the AoE passive healing and the armor packs. Community tried to say Brigitte's sustain is too powerful, blizzard decided to nerf everything except the sustain. Same with double shield, blizzard nerfed pretty much everything EXCEPT THAT. Usually the community advice, especially the good advice tends to fall on deaf ears.

[@dualeclipse7963]

The white credits can be used to acquire rarer skins but it takes more credits than what is the listed gold credit price. I.E. 1000 gold credit skin needs 1500 white credits to unlock. Unfortunately there are a number of skins that are exempt.

Mechanical skill is half the battle

[@afterthought9538]

Masters-GM player (all roles) here. The reason why tanking is so miserable has nothing to do with their lack of impact. It is a VERY powerful role. Tanks were designed with synergies in 6v6 being in mind, so they were made to have very clear strengths and weaknesses. They could cover each other's weaknesses by splitting ability usage and damage between them as there were 2 of them. Because of their unique strengths and weaknesses plus the fact they are very powerful, counter-swapping is often the only option you have. This would exist with or without the additions to the tank roster. Giga-buffing them in S11 made counter-swapping even more valuable and important. There are a myriad of issues with this game beside that, like the destruction of hero identities in the DPS role since S9 (the worst patch in OW history) but you didn't cover that. Good video, regardless.

[@ogonplayzgames7823]

As a overwatch 1 player I honestly agree with a lot of points made during this video. I am mainly angry at the whole company and the development team: Not only did they decide to base ow2 mainly on the PvE, they downright lied or should I say "Cancelled due to unforeseen consequences" (my arse) they also ruined everything that the game had going for it in the first game! I remember very vividly that the ow1 team was actually one of the best teams in it's time, it became my favourite development team because they actually CARED, Jeff Kaplan was by far the best developer, I remember very well that he engaged with players on twitter and other platforms. He genuinely seemed like he liked his game, which is a trait that the new team does not have whatsoever for some goddamn reason???? They refuse to listen to anybody but the 'pro' players who just seem to complain about everything, if they can't find a problem in the game they just decide to nerf/buff a hero that DEFINETLY DOES NOT NEED??? They keep locking everything behind a pay wall?? They ruin every part of the game and yet they do not stop and think for just a second: "Hm maybe the fans are right? Maybe we are doing something wrong?" NO! They keep ignoring the fans need I need to remind that they promised ow1 players 'compensation' for deleting ow1 and making the new one free to play, they made it seem like the players would actually get something good that would basically give the players from ow1 money's worth... The moment I realised I only received 2 crappy skins and a weapon charm for literally having the hero edition base game bought was literally soul shattering and I'm sure I speak for so many other ow1 players that just realised they got crapped on. The main issue with the game now is the development team, the faster they realise that THEY REALLY ARE THE BIGGEST PROBLEM OF THE GAME, the faster they can make changes and become semi-respected than they are. But if I'm being honest? No matter what they do not everyone will forgive them, they have been acting immature for far to long and I'm sure many fans will not comeback ever. The only thing that keeps the game alive is it being free to play. Remember when we used to say Paladins was a direct copy of ow1? I'd rather play that game now than this forsaken new game. THAT'S how bad it is right now.

Yeah little miss fox is a good support But have you ever considered role playing as Swedish meatball with a bonk stick

[@Underwearscares]

Brig is best ❤

[@EvilXero359]

It went downhill when fukkavision took control over Blizzard. The only thing I had a problem with was/is that the devs wouldn't add kbm input for the console versions

[@MegaMijit]

holy shit i knew the monetization was awful, but i never knew just how bad with that rein weapon. you have to pay $45 for it, then pay to upgrade it??? thats insane

[@migueljuarez6788]

35$

They saw that Valorant gets away with it, so they did it too because humans love to be abused.

[@TheSixteen60]

At least they put it on Steam. Valorant isn’t because Riot just thinks they’re too different from Valve.

[@TheHiScoreShow]

I always thought the timing was strange, didn’t Blizzard announce Overwatch 2 during those China allegations?

[@MantaAnimatedProductions]

3:36 the day overwatch 2 died *resurrections starts playing*

[@GilRivera-co7rh]

"What can I say you welcome" mauga

[@JackL.Carlos]

[@desk_fan_chan]

i was never a ow fan but i got pissed when they announced the pve mode got cancelled.

[@autofigure00]

If only Jeff Kaplan was still there, felt like they actually addressed issues and were actively invested in working on the game, seems like it went downhill after he left? I dont remember the timing.

[@Amalgam03]

I bought the watchpoint pack when the game was in open beta cuz I was excited for the story missions. You know what, it’s my fault for paying 60 dollars for a free game I already paid for 8 years ago

[@zealwarriorgaming5315]

Don’t forget that Overwatch 2 scrapped a lot of features from Overwatch 1 like the endorsement system and levels.

[@jaym2267]

I think Overwatch's biggest downfall was its unfortunate timing, aka releasing with the paid 60$ AAA standard before Fortnite came and redesigned the entire live-service multiplayer economy. I feel like had Overwatch released as a Free-To-Play game with its current microtransaction model it would've fared way better. Converting a player-base from one monetary model to another, especially after they already had paid 60$ for the game was pretty much their death sentence. The microtransaction system in Overwatch 2 is pretty bad right now mainly because the game is still using architecture from their old previous cosmetic system while trying to squeeze this newer one in, and Blizzard is more desperate for profits with a game that doesn't have as many players as it did in its prime. I know many people especially here aren't fans of the Fortnite F2P microtransaction model, but it is very successful and funds Epic more than enough to be able to add a lot of content. Had Overwatch had a similar model on launch and been generating way more sustainable profit, they would've been able to invest that capital back into way more content and potentially the PVE stuff without having to sell it as a separate paid project. PVE failed because the devs were working on it without any increasing profits and were relying on shipping this product out to try to save them.

[@zehlan2100]

1:55 Has always had SINCE introducing role queue which was i direct result of them not knowing how to balance GOATS

[@justinandeei866]

what killed over watch for me is lifewevers life grip as i hate being grabed when im just about to kill someone

[@jaetherogue562]

The characters dont feel as versatile and mostly can only be played one way for instance sombra cant properly silence anymore and now needs to use two abilities to get one effect. They force you to play a certain way.
