I have 80 hours in it. I'm not bored, but I'm really tired of shitty teammates so I tend to play an hour a day if my friends are busy instead of 3-4 hours a day when it launched regardless of my friends were busy.
Looking forward to competitive though.

You have zero reason to play it on PC when TF2 exists. It's a casual game that SHOULD have been a console game first, but for some reason it's not. Makes no sense at all.
Also I can't fucking stand the game. Everyone just wants to play it as a TDM instead of objectives and I'm sick of just losing all day just to get one loot crate of Mei sprays and a dupe.

There was literally a PC tournament last night that alone had 45K viewers watching it.
This isn't counting the tons of of other PC and Console streams that were on last night during the tournament.
ive gone down to like an hour every other night. its a good casual distraction.
with the steam sale other games have my attention.

Nah. I think I stick with TF2, matchmaking is bretty gud.
>>342952335
I think a massive chunk of people who played pre-F2P quit as soon as that change happened. The community had already been going downhill since the introduction of trading, but it jumped off a cliff the second the game went F2P.
>>342949985
Nope. When I find myself getting worn out I switch to my character with the lowest playtime.

>>342949985
You know, I thought I would play this game with friends exclusively, however, seeing the fact that they're just mediocre I've decided to solo queue, improve and try to carry as much as possible.
So far the results have been astonishing and I've actually managed to improve my Zenyatta play quite well.
So to be honest with you, I'd not play this game with friends that are mediocre or are using the same ol' "I p-p-play f-for fun" (whatever the fuck that means) excuse when doing fuck all.
>>342952568
What kind of new and original modes would you have liked to see?
>>342952224
CSGO gets 120k viewers
smash 4 got like 50k viewers last night
>>342952651
the amount of salt that comes from those people being killed repeatedly is worth taking the 20 seconds to find a new server
>>342952618
sure mate.
>>342952657
torbjorn is supposedly legitimately a problem on console because players can't turn/aim fast enough
>>342952568
Other modes aren't optimized for the hero system, e.g. Tracer and Genji would dominate CTF, and these are the problems you have to work around. I think we'll be getting a wave survival mode against omnic AIs soon though.

Sounds like you didn't play before it went F2P. Back then there were few enough that they just got votekicked if they were being annoying.
Me and a friend who I used to play with reinstalled TF2 a year or so ago to see what it was like. Between getting a 15-kill streak as a solo heavy standing by myself on a KotH point and sapping an engineer's sentry, disguised as that engineer, WHILE HE WATCHED, then stabbing him in the back before he reacted, we were done playing in about half an hour.
>>342952738
He wasn't lying mate. I watched it too.
Chat and commentators were basically sucking off Seagull and Tailspin and the game was shown almost exclusively from their POV.
It was pretty boring to watch because of this. But they totally had 45K viewers at one point in grand finals. I didn't watch any of the previous matches before that.
>>342952724
Then they go to make salty sfm videos.

Also, new players are in every game. They need to learn somehow. If you get annoyed by bad players, play on community servers/lobbies/join a comp league.

Exactly. Just like everyone else who tries to convince people that the community didn't change when it went F2P.
>>342951921
Competitive Overwatch makes TF2 look like Quake in comparison. Go figure.
>>342953596

i have an acquaintance that literally spends all their time hacking in tf2 and cs:go and beyond a brief 5 minute laugh at people i really can't see the appeal
>>342953615
The game barely reaches 20k let alone 40k. Maybe in your dream blizz shill.
Can anyone explain to me why we care about how many people ware watching a game on Twitch? Are people claiming it's an indicator of the number of people playing or something? I hope not, because that would be silly.

>>342950726
>>342950848
>it's this guy again
Holy shit, I remember you, you posted in the Overwatch general a couple of weeks back
High skill floor means it's difficult to learn the basics of the character, we told you back then too. You're looking for the word low skill floor.
Visualize it like a platform, one that is close to the ground is easy to get on top of, one that is high above the ground is difficult.
>>342949985
The individual skill ceiling is literally too low.
The only thing you can keep improving after like 100 hours is the team skill.
And honestly i am not much of a team player i admit that.
>>342954495
>it's hardly designed for high-level competitive play.
Yet Blizzard tries to pretend like it is.
>>342954285
yeah all those mercy players killing people with headshots are really ruining the game
>>342949985
i never played the beta and i dont intend on picking it up, but i did get a chance to play it recently and i can see where a lot of the hate comes from.
that being said, it has a lot going for it too. specifically its attention to vertical play/combat. all the stages take it into account and some of the heroes feel like they have a lot of options when it comes to mobility, and i can appreciate that. they definitely designed the game with "less is more" in mind and while i think its pretty elegant, i can see why the more hardcore players would get bored easily. i'm an old quake/unreal fan, so i don't think i would get much of it in the long term, but i think that for the general audience overwatch is brilliantly designed.
tldr, its a great normie game. shit for comp play though.

Except the quality of the game did go down valve shill. Your focus on releasing more cosmetic products than actually keeping the game fresh with new weapons and to an extent, new maps, has stagnated the game and allowed other games to rise past it because tf2 had become more of the same and you relied on it being propped up by community modern more than your own effort.

I have played on every decent map, every decent gamemode, and as every single class repeatedly
there is nothing left to do in that game for me, it's old and stale and beyond playing 30 minutes every few months, i can't stomach it anymore for my team arena shooter fix
Yeah the game is just too poorly designed.
Too many balance issues
Maps get stale quick
Terrible tickrate and laughable hitboxes
I do enjoy OW but it has too many balance and technical issues for me to let it slide anymore
>>342950562
There's this one option called Avoid/Frecuent
People have been adding players to their avoid list like crazy so the match macking system is having a hard time finding games where people that are avoided don't get paired.
It's got so retarded, a pro takes as much as 10 minutes to find a game because people avoided him for being too good.
Originally the feature was intended to avoid shitters and toxic players but sore losers have been abusing it to avoid players of higher skills.

I think the game is fun. Being casual doesn't inherently make it a bad game.
Rather I think not having to worry about Optimal setups, matchups, and shit like that makes the game more enjoyable for me, because even though its not hyper intense, there is an competitive feel which drives me to play better on characters that I like and my gameplay in general.

The avoid list has been disabled since last update. The option does nothing as of now and will be removed in the future. Read the patch notes.
>>342956286
Can you give me a reason that a game not catering to hyper autists is a bad thing?
Other than you not liking it because you're autistic.
>>342955703
>but sore losers have been abusing it to avoid players of higher skills.
Fucking kek
I don't think i've ever ignored anyone in any video game. holy fuck
The game is fun, but that's where it ends in terms of depth.
There's not really enough versatility in the game for the kind of longevity you'd want.
Each hero has a very narrow playstyle, you can't really say 'OH I'M GONNA PLAY THEM THIS WAY THIS GAME!' as if it's different to how you always play them.
In a MOBA you have a bunch of different skill / item builds and even in TF2 you have a bunch of different equip combinations to try out.
I'm also burnt out on several maps, they definitely need an injection of meaningful content like heroes, maps and game modes. If the first major content release is skins I'm gonna be fucking pissed.
>>342955703
I get salty against good players, but never enough to block them like that.
Now meifags on the other hand, that's a guarantee.
What does the "rate this match" buttons do? Does it affect your elo?
>>342955382
Most people consider scout as the best class in TF2.
Also, that's the point of it. Scout/soldier/demo/medic are powerful because they have a higher skill ceiling than the other classes. They are also viable in most situations.
Pyro/heavy/engineer/sniper/spy are situational. They have a much lower skill ceiling than the other classes, due to their limited movement options. They are still used if the situation warrants it. A heavy/engineer will be better at defending last than a scout.
Now imagine if ALL classes in TF2 were balanced perfectly, with identical skill ceilings. The game would become slow, cheesey and frustrating.
It would become Overwatch.
I enjoy it. That being said, I don't play it that much. Just for an hour or two a day. I am still getting a feel for what characters I like.
It is casual but I like it, I am just not that good at video games like I was in middle/high school.
It definitely needs more maps, game modes, ranked, and maybe more skins (possibly for weapons) and maybe heroes.
Seems like Blizzard will be updating it pretty consistently to keep it alive though, they kind of need to if they want people to keep playing it.
Yknow these threads make me wonder, who is actnually behind the anti-OW shitposting? It isn't tf2 fans because theyre all in /tf2g/ shitting their pants over the new update never happening and shitposting over how dead the game is. We know the game is dead and to be honest i don't see why any realistic tf2 fan would go out of their way to shit on OW considering it's leagues better looking and optimized and is still fresh. All the tf2 old fags stopped playing in 2011 and all the newer players are too busy playing lobbies or trying to do something to try get some original fun out of the game. (T. 1.2k hours in tf2)
So who the fuck is doing all the shitposting?
>>342956637
Yes, if you vote "high" it'll give you an elo penalty, however if you rate every match as "low", the system will take you for a jaded veteran and give you extra elo.
>>342951921
Tf2 had simplicity of gun variety, movement speed, and health. These basic variables let you play as you wanted, with very obvious basic strengths and weaknesses that could be overcome with skill in many circumstances.
Overwatch has a bit more out in place via the ultimate move system, while it seems useful, it pigeon holes many play styles to only work in the situations best fit for them and lead to a lack of overall variety in play style for some heroes. Also not a lot of map variety, no custom games no custom maps no custom anything, everything is on blizzards terms and if they don't start churning out some new content quick itl die before next summer.
>big whoop a year of active playtime is still good
Sure, though compared to the behemoth of tf2 and its what, 8 years and still counting it's nothing to applaud nor is it doing any dethroning. I do love the art style of overwatch but if blizzard doesn't open up the game or develop some new shit for it then it will remain a meme game
>>342954294
This is always the case. Most reviewers don't even play the games they review for more than a couple of hours and the rest are paid to give high scores. If you seriously still look at critic scores at all you are a chump.
>>342956332
It's still in place. How about YOU read the patch notes?
The option got removed from the PTR but not from the main game.
Once the PTR is done then it will be removed.
If you notice they also added a WEAPON section in the hero gallery. But if you go to the gallery there's no such option.
Again, because those changes are for the PTR only right now.
Stop playing alot. I mean im only lvl 40 since launch.
Other than that, I'm glad I only spent $40.
I bought it today and having fun with it for now
Roadhog is pretty fun, I don't play games for waifus. Though, that is always a plus

There's also the conventional "block" option which just pretty much mutes the player in your end.
But the Avoid option is to never get paired with them ever again. Not even if the player is the enemy.
All this game does is make me miss tf2.
The heroes are all gay, ultimates are cancer, the map design is horribly unbalanced, the gunplay is atrocious and I'm sick to the fucking back teeth of getting partied with retards.
You could carry a mediocre team in TF2. Not so here.

>>342949985
I dunno I played during the beta and it was alright but it could use a lot more fucking modes. I'll consider buying it when and if it gets more content updates. I don't give a shit about competitive play or ranked modes, just add some more fucking variety.
>>342955453
>I really see this game losing it's players or probably it will become 90% a kids game.
Despite what I said though, I severely fucking doubt that. They went after those modes precisely because everyone is used to them. That's Blizzard for you. They're not going to lose players over that.
>>342957062
And modern TF2 makes me miss classic TF2.
I prefer ults as they can be avoided or countered.
Crits in TF2? Fuck that shit.
>>342956704
>It would become Overwatch.
Except that's the exact format Overwatch has. There are low-ceiling character such as Reaper and Soldier 76 and there high-ceiling offense like Genji, Tracer. Every category they have has a high and low ceiling character.
no, I still play it every day or every other day.

Also, Overwatch isn't slow. Movement is slower, but you're almost constantly in combat. The only downtime is when you died, and even that is only long enough for your team to regroup and reorganize. Even that may not work out if the other team has a flanker and is constantly harassing returning teammates.

Did you see when it released?
Game was offline for whooping 10 minutes and shitters were all over it making it as if the game had failed like Diablo 3 did for THAT much downtime.
>>342957527
It's not like you can effortlessly win every game you play in overwatch.
There's some depth, but it more game knowledge based and than charts and number crunching.
I'd rather have a base game have shallow depth to attract a larger fan base, but add more depth to increase the competitive value of the game.
Also, I've yet to see a valid argument that says a casual game is bad.
No greentexts are not arguments.
>>342957062
Agreed, although now that I played overwatch I would transfer a few things to tf2 and make a better game.
>>342957413
if it makes you feel better it's just shitposting. I actually think overwatch looks ok but I can't really afford it.
Why do you care so much though? If anything these fucking replies help keep your damn threads alive so chill.

Go and ask anyone you know that plays video games regularly if they think tf2 is a good competitive game and they will either look at you as if you are mad or laugh hysterically
>>342956975
okay I got the basics somewhat today, I guess
But I am yet to know if any other support than Mercy is as useful as her. Especially Symmetra
>>342958173
>>342957413
DUDE
CONTRARIANS
LMAO
My favorite buzzword! how did you guys know?!
>>342958440
Lucio can be even more useful
Symmetra isn't really a support, more like defense, and she can be useful if you're defending, especially with teleporter. Also her laser charges up and does big damage
Zenyatta is more like damage with additional heal than full healer
>>342958440
Mercy is better on defense, Lucio is better on offense and KotH
Symettra is only as useful as her teleporter, if you don't get much utility out of it (i.e. on the last point of capture) then swap her out for someone else. The bonus shields are nice, her sentries can be annoying (albeit easily dealt with) and her gun is deceptively powerful, but it's still all about the teleporter.
Zenyatta is a hybrid of healing and damage, the discord orb absolutely destroys heroes and his damage output is pretty damn good. His ult is also very good both offensively and defensively. He is the squishiest hero in the game without an escape though.
Eh. They REALLY need new maps and mode selection. Thats the only thing getting to me now is the map selection being so low. Give me a couple more maps and I'll be fine. For now however, I'm feeling the breaks on the fun bus start.
>>342949985
i can see how you might get bored if you're solo queueing and never play with friends
if you're part of an active group/community though, it's loads of fun, especially with competitive on the horizon.
>>342958440
Top Tier
Mercy best heals.
Lucio good heals + utility + some offense
Mid Tier
Zen better offense than any other utility, usable heals + debuffs + we push now ult, becomes way better in hands of some autists
Low Tier
Symemetra, meh damage, turrets not as good as Torbs, mostly useful for her teleporter as it may guarantee winning/defending a point
>>342951314
Stimated around 10 seconds. But if you have the game minimized it takes way longer. I think it's because it matches up with people with similar ping but having it minimized skyrockets your ping for whatever reason

There is nothing indicating that the avoid player option was disabled only for PTB. In fact, since this is posted in the general OW announcement area, I'm lead to believe you are full of shit.
>>342957062
One thing you have to consider about carrying an entire team is because of the way you can join a server in TF2.
The way matchmaking currently works in OW, it doesn't allow a single player to completely combat the entire team, especially since the name of the game is swapping to a counter.
The inclusion of ultimates is also as if each random player in TF2 had a free uber/kritz every minute or so, which by no means am I defending because it's why most CP maps are completely fucking broken.
Until they add a server browser with player-hosted maps, it's going to be a crapshoot on how well matches go.
>>342958048
>blizzard game
>not expecting it to be made for the lowest common denominator turbo casuals
How could you not see this coming? I knew from the beginning that this game will be turbo casual´.
And its actually good for casual play with some friends.
But i probably wont touch ranked because i will never be able to take this game seriously.
It just isnt made for competitive play.
>>342961125
>Until they add a server browser with player-hosted maps
Not going to happen.
>>342958252
That's what you consider a source?
>>342956765
Why is it so difficult to believe that people can dislike the game?
A lot of the anti-OW points are pretty valid.
I got bored of it after 60 or so games and haven't played it for almost two weeks.
I hope Ranked will make it better but the shitty hitboxes, gamemodes and maps aren't helping me at all.
I swear this thread gets made 2-3 times a week. Are you Battleborn fags that jealous?
>>342961171
>It just isnt made for competitive play.
Everyone who knows anything about video games knows that this is the case.
However, Blizzard says otherwise and so the casuals lap it up.
