It has the depth of a kiddie pool in terms of skill needed, so I can see it being extremely popular.

Overwatch feels like a game that should've come out at the dawn of the FPS genre, not this far into it. It's outclassed in every way by Battleborn and its competitors aside from character charisma.

No, it really isn't, because they've taken MOBA inspiration and thrown out the gameplay of it. It's essentially a watered down FPS with no individuality.

Only a few DotA characters were clones of Warcraft 3 characters. I'm pretty sure since long before either DotA 2 or LoL existed all heroes copied from WC3 characters were changed or remade.

the game has changed alot since the last beta I was in.

>>336648393

One thing I find disappointing as fuck is how bland some characters are and just how disproportionately designed some are compared to others.

Take Winston for example. He can shoot, jump, has a shield and his ult is basically he can melee people.
Now take Junkrat. He can shoot, place land mines and bear traps and remotely trigger the land mines. He can also rocket jump off of the land mines. If he dies he drops several grenades around him. His ult is a remotely controlled explosive.

Winston has 4 abilities with minimal alternative uses.
Junkrat has like 6 abilities and at least one has an alternative use (rocket jumping off of mines).

It's kind of dumb how some characters seem to have shoot, one other ability and an ult, while others seem to have 20 fucking abilities.

I haven't posted in this thread, nor do I have any special investment in the game. That being said, I think it'll probably be updated since it's blizzard we're talking about.
But by the same token, it IS Blizzard so I have no idea of the assurance of quality in content or in general business practices.
Nearly every IP that Blizzard is in charge of currently has been shitting the bed with content updates in the past few years. In fact I'm amazed that Overwatch is launching relatively scot free. HotS business model is fucking terrible and one of the more recent WoW patches simply added shit like "Twitter integration"

I'm not confident all the updates will be positive ones.

>>336648927
Mei Reinhardt Bastion and Junkrat all exist for a reason.

Also, it's like CS. The maps are designed to be played with each team playing as offense then switching to defense (or vice-versa), If you think it's unfair, you're just not sticking around for the second half of the game.

Because at the end of the day, there is very little to each character. One 5 minute long game is enough to see everything a character has to offer.

If it's taking you 5 minutes to fully experience a character, it can't have a lot of depth you know?

Tf2 released additional content very sparingly in the first few years and stuck around fine.

I mean we'll just have to see down the line. There's a mountain of evidence against them based on precedent, and as to the current state of the game, not much has actually been changed aside from a few balance tweaks and useless alteration to a pose because some dad got butthurt.
The general design of the game seems like it's more catering to casuals than it is "hardcore fps fans"
Still it's a refreshing change of pace from the average dudebro shooter at the moment.

And I never said those games have depth.

Take Tracer for example. When I played her I was left saying to myself "is that all?".
She has a shoot which has no depth at all. It's fast, but short range. You get close to people and shoot them with it. It has 1 use.
She has a dash with 3 uses that quickly recharge. You either use it to get close to people and shoot them, or to get away from people shooting at you. It has 2 uses.
She has a sticky bomb with tiny range but is almost a guaranteed 1 hit kill. This is another ability that has no depth. You get close to people and use it to kill them, it has 1 use.
She can also rewind time for herself slightly. This is her only ability with any kind of depth because it can heal damage and move you out of harms way. It has 2 uses, heal yourself or move out of the way of damage.

That is not depth. All of her abilities have 1 or 2 uses and she only has 4 abilities (of which two are very similar).

I disagree. Through a mix of strategy of picks/counters as well as the inherent skill ceiling of fps aiming to play this game optimally takes I'd say a notch less skill than Tf2 which has a very high ceiling competitively.

You're not wrong. It's impossible to follow Tracer on PS4.
It balances out though, because Tracer has just as much trouble turning to find you while teleporting.

Tf2 aint balanced, and Overwatch is already fairly balanced itself. IT's also not even out yet, now isn't the time to be complaining about balance issues.

>Overwatch will get boring below the 100 hour mark

They've added one game mode, and 3 maps for that game-mode.
As for future plans they've only explicitly stated that they would like to add more characters eventually.
If all we get is more characters and maps that's not necessarily bad, but it most likely won't add any extra depth to the game than what we've already got.
The maps are probably my biggest problem so far, pretty much all of them flow the exact same way, with nothing but visuals to distinguish them.

The depth is in how you use them.

Explain to me a character in a shooter who you think is complex and I'll be just as reductive as you're being.

You're being obtuse for the sake of argument.

How is this inherently a bad thing? The game isn't even trying to be a MOBA. Having 'hero's' with unique abilities doesn't make a game a MOBA, although it might appeal to that audience. Overwatch is a Tf2 successor. I'd go point by point with the rest if I weren't on mobile, but that's the main retardation in your logic.

It's fun but really unbalanced for example I think Hanzo does far too much damage and Torbjorns sentry is very overpowered.

I got in the open beta today and had a lot of fun playing it. Like, a lot, I should be studying for college but I spent my whole afternoon playing.

That said, I don't think there's much more to see in the game. I mean, 21 characters sound like a lot, but in a game you can change to whatever character every time you die, it loses the charm reeeally quick. In a few hours you've seem everything and knows about everything and can play decently on every character. I don't see myself buying this because as much fun as I had today, this can't last more than a week.

Also every game mode looks the same and feels that same. Gets really boring after a while. Maybe I'll revisit the game a few years from here and some major expansions are made down the road, also when it either goes f2p or the price drops.

I'l say I liked this a lot more I liked tf2 though.

If their health is getting to a point where they need to run away from an objective to restore their health, then you aren't playing healer right.

I agree with the sniper thing, though. You don't need snipers when attacking. Not a single one. If you're a CoD kid who can't handle learning new play styles, then play Soldier: 76 when attacking. He's piss-easy and within everyone's comfort zone.

I've never once seen a Winston "disrupt the backlines". He'll jump in and get obliterated in half a second.

Meanwhile, Reinhardt can put up his shield and just walk towards anyone to slap their shit. God help you if you're between him and a wall. And if his ult is up, you and half your team is disabled for like 5 fucking seconds (basically you're dead).

Winston is just an inferior Reinhardt. There are several other characters who are in a similar situation.

Why is D Va so bad? She's got a giant fucking hitbox including a giant fucking head, so she dies faster than all the other tanks, her shield sucks shit, and her guns might as well be melee weapons for how shitty they shoot past point blank, and her ult is one of the worst of all the characters. Her booster is cool but basically everything else about her is terrible.

Winston seems shit but is actually really good in the right hands. The bubble especially is way better than Reinhardt's shield in a lot of situations. The jump is also more useful in a lot of situations.

Reinhardt is a meme character (that I like) for stomping pubs, Winston is a tanks for using against teams who know what they're doing.

Also keep in mind that he just got nerfed.

Steal kills. That is pretty much the only time you'll ever get a kill as Genji.

Also if the enemy is dumb, use his Deflect to bait people into shooting you. 99% of the time this'll do nothing much, but that 1% of the time you might get a kill.
Just hope the enemy isn't smart enough to take someone who has attacks you can't deflect, otherwise it's suicide to even try.

Honestly, just repick him. I've yet to figure out how to make him work. Just seems weak all round and others do his job a lot better.
