>overwatch is casual trash

Where did this meme come from?
-No regenerating health
-21 different characters each with 3 abilities and some with alt-fires too.
-Requires teamwork
-Competitive mode with ranking system.
-Rewarded for headshots with almost all weapons.

Is it just the art style? Really faggots?

where do people get your overwatch memes and arts, tho
>>
>>343186005
people's main dig is at the shit tickrate (20hz) and ridiculously large hitboxes.

i heard competitive mode uses 60tick but I forgot to check when I was playing earlier

in its current state everything moves so fast hitboxes kinda need to be that large or you'd be basically be forced to play hitscan only.
>>
>>343186386
This. There are too many people here, and an overwhelming amount that jump on bandwagons, look at how many play overwatch.

How to balance Overwatch

>Pharah
Slightly increase air time
Ammo count increased to 8 before reloading

>Reaper
Can cancel wraith mode early by pressing shift again

>Tracer
Max damage per round reduced from 6 to 4, drop off starts at 6 meters instead of 11

>Mei
Icicle damage reduced from 75 to 50.
Cryo-freeze no longer heals Mei and can no longer contest while frozen.

>Torbjorn
Increase ult charge time by 10%
Turret now has small delay when turning at an angle over 180 degrees
Turret range reduced from 40 to 25 meters

>D.Va
Damage drop off range extended to 10 meters.
Critbox size reduced by 50%
Current ultimate removed and replaced with temporary altfire mode that doubles DPS and enables pinpoint accuracy for its duration with no damage drop off.

>Winston
Add 100 armor.
Barrier health increased to 1500
Damage increased from 45 to 60.

>Zarya
Shields can be triggered when stunned and remove debuffs.
Shields no longer prevent debuffs if already active (Can cancel Reinhardt's stun if used after being hit, but will still be stunned if barrier is active when he ults)

>Lucio
Wallride now has a 4 second cooldown
Line of sight healing reduced to proximity healing within a 10 meter AOE
HPS increased to 20 to compensate

>Mercy
Ultimate charge time increased by 20%

>Symmetra
All Symmetra turrets now require two hits to kill from any weapon.

>Zenyatta
50HP replaced with 50 armor since robots can't be healthy
Orb of Discord now deals 5 damage per second to its target as long as it remains on them

It's not casual but it is very simplistic and many of its maps are narrow corridors with one side path and one upstairs path.

The hate stems from its popularity.
>>
It's not really trash, but it does have a lot of casual aspects

>aimbots
>wallhacks
>auto-aim weapons (winston/sym)
>turrets
>stuns/slows (not as casual as above but still)

I don't mind it, but it can gather a lot of hate.

>no regenerating health
yeah because you either get 1-shot by someone pressing Q or take 1 damage per decade from someone using a peashooter, and then walk 2 steps to pick up one of the 6,000 health pickups per map.

Honestly it would actually be more skill based if there was regenerating health and not FULL HEALTH PICKUPS ALL AROUND THE FUCKING MAP.

nice bait though

This game is literally made to make normies feel good about themselves.

I wouldn't even call it a FPS, it's some casual hybrid game you can play with your little brother and girlfriend.

>stuns

>turrets

Games where you actually have to put your crosshair on someone and pull the trigger are dead.
>>
>Requires teamwork

this is literally a hallmark of casual trash games
>>
>>343187479
most characters, unless multiple people focus you, you can just run to a health pickup and completely negate all the damage they did chasing you through half the map, and by then they're in enemy territory so you and your butt buddies can just gank them.

It's just a match of peak-n-shoot until an ult gets a few kills then one team can move up a bit.
>>
>>343187475
>frige hitboxes
The hitboxes are pretty accurate... At most 1-5% bigger than the in game model.

>>343187687
All the biggest competitive games require teamwork (other than starcraft)
>>
>>343187748
Name some of these characters. I can't think of any other than non mech D.VA And Mercy

It is really casual, but casual does not always mean bad.
I don't want to play super hardcore games all the time, quake and stuff is great but if I get trashed too much then it's not too fun.

Overwatch just smooths things over, as a good player you will still do well but you are more limited by external factors other than your personal skill, like teammates, abilities, counters.
>>
>>343187894
all tanks and supports except maybe zarya, roadhog, and reinhardt (though nobody besides roadhog would attempt a chase you)

torbjorn, junkrat, mccree, reaper, soldier, tracer

If only one (1) of them is chasing you from full health, you can most likely run away and be fine, unless you have low mobility, or they waste an ult on you.

With health regen, and no pickups you could more reliably chase a decent player and actually get a kill.

Instead, if they get a pickup, not only do you get ganked, but it was for nothing because they're right back at full instantly.
>>
>>343188680
I meant bastion not mccree, my bad
>>
>>343188680
>junkrat, mccree, reaper, soldier, tracer
These are all high damage, all of them besides junkrat will be able to chase another hero well.

Who? Reaper ult? If so then you need to flank then and any good team will just stun you before you kill them.

So how do we make the game uncasualized

>>343187748
Hell, even D.va and Mercy's pistols deal up to 120 damage per second, not including headshots. Nearly everyone in the cast can put out at least 100 damage per second at a minimum with few exceptions.

The weakest damage dealers in the game would be Winston's lightning gun (60 damage), Zarya's Particle cannon without any charge (90 damage), Lucio's blaster (64 damage with his four round burst or only 25 with his knockback) and Genji's shurikens (84 with three shurikens).

Lucio and Genji have low damage output with just their primary attack, however Genji performs combos with his attack > melee > Swift Strike to deal a lot more damage in an instant, and Lucio is a super evasive Support guy who can survive a lot just because he can heal himself at all times and go fast. Both of them are extremely mobile and hard to hit, so they can stick their heads out more than anyone else.

>>343188680
You have never played this game.
That entire second line of yours comprises nearly all of the HIGHEST damage dealing characters in the game.
Reaper's shotguns are second to only Bastion's Turret mode in potential damage output.
Tracer and 76 are just below that. 240 damage and 170 damage per second respectively, not including headshots.
McCree can kill anyone with 250 health in just over half a second with a flashbang and two headshots.
Torbjorn's rivet gun is among the more powerful projectile weapons in the game (70 per shot with no loss over distance) and it comes with a shotgun alt fire, capable of 150 to 300 damage if you hit dead on.
Junkrat shits out damage just by spamming everywhere. Wherever you run, he'll pump grenades down that way.

There is nothing casual about infinite ammo.
Nearly all the games that most purport to be the most hardcore challenging whatever games almost universally have unlimited ammo or the ability to carry so much ammo that you'd never need to worry about it anyway, it may as well be infinite.

Finite ammo just slows things down.

Health regen is tied to certain types of health, not a blanket for every character. Only shields regen on their own and support characters can regen their own health because it's part of their abilities. Otherwise, health regen is tied to picking up a health pack, a support healing you, or an ability.
>>
>>343186608
20 tuck rate is a little low but not even relevant most of the time
This isn't csgo

Also roadhogs hook needs to have it's hotbox nerfed

>dva: Current ultimate removed and replaced with temporary altfire mode that doubles DPS and enables pinpoint accuracy for its duration with no damage drop off.
do you have any idea on how much damage dva deals at close range? a lot.
yeah she's underpowered atm but that ult would be literal god mode

>winston: Barrier health increased to 1500
yeah, a 13 second cd barrier 3/4 as strong as reinhardt's but with 360° protection. what could go wrong.

>lucrio : wallride now has a 4 second cooldown
yeah nerf the most fun movement skill of the game so scrubs can no longer feel bad about not mastering it and getting outplayed by better players.
you should work for blizzard, it's totally in their mindset.

>>343186005
I'm one of the most casual players there is. Play most games on the easiest difficulty, use cheats/cheatengine a lot to just enjoy the things I like and skip the stuff I dislike.
Overwatch is the first multiplayer game that is so accessible and welcoming to shit players like myself, and does its best to make you feel like you're half decent at it.
