What went so fucking right?
waifu pandering
It's casual enough for normies to get into it

All three responses above me
Blizzards marketing? Because the game is hot dogshit.
>>343461391
Insult Blizzard all you want, but always bet on them to do well. They know how to make mainstream games that the majority like.
>>343461391
> Blizzard-brand recognition. (muh WoW and Diablo!)
> Waifu/husbando characters to appeal to the horny teens
> Pixar-like art design to appeal to the cosplayers
> Simplified TF2 mechanics to remove skill and appeal to a more casual market
> Activision/Blizzard money to throw into marketing
> Following Valve's example by making "Meet the" videos to build lore for a game that has none.
The question isn't how did it get so popular so fast. The question is: Will it even last past the summer when school starts?
They appealed to everyone.
There are waifus and husbandos for all of the 137 gender options that exist. All minorities are also included.
>>343462230
Yeah dude bigtime mainstream successes like HotS
>>343462259
The game has been out for more than a month and it doesn't seem to slow down. I don't think Overwatch is going anywhere.
>>343461391
The shills did a good job of spamming this game all over /v/ and social media for weeks from the very first open beta up until release.
Same way LoL got popular.
>>343462483
>it doesn't seem to slow down
It definitely has. many including myself have already gone back to TF2 after realising how little depth there is to overwatch
>>343462351
There's always a blip. That was more bad timing. It's equal to LoL, even though it's inferior to Dota2.
People got bored of TF2 and wanted to play TF2 again
>>343462259

Ah, lame.
They need to put more maps in if it's to retain massive amounts of popularity. There is only so many times you can replay king's row before you get bored of it.
Regardless of what they do, they already made a massive profit on this game.

>>343462686
This. I also wonder when normies will get bored of OW. Casuals don't tend to be loyal or, let's say, dedicated to their games. Can't imagine people playing OW for years like DOTA2 simply because of how shallow OW is.
>>343462529
Blizzard spent millions on its marketing, and advertised the shit out of it during the NBA finals (which was one of the most viewed sports series ever).
Free advertising didn't do shit.
>>343463564
If Lirik or sodapoppin plays Super Mario 64 he can get it to the top of twitch as well, doesn't mean the game is actually popular or good.
>>343463564
That doesn't mean other people haven't stopped playing it.

TF2 got regular updates pretty quickly after release.
I don't play the game myself, but apparently it's really popular in Korea, even more than LOL(?) I think. So Overwatch is probably going to stay here for 5 years or so I think.
>>343461391
marketing
thats literally all
>>343463660
It's already starting to happen, it might plateau eventually though.
Looks like it has potential to be the new LoL though, I see lots and lots of lolcucks moving over. Doesn't surprise me, it's the kinda game that appeals to that audience.
>>343463660
You think the majority of the people who play dota does so because it's neck deep in mechanics? Because thats wrong
>>343462483
Yes. A month. The first month of the summer.
The key is what happens when summer's over and more games have come out or established games like LoL, Dota 2, etc, have had new updates, content, and/or tournies to draw attention back to them.
A game popular after a month? You really think that's a good metric for showing longevity? Titanfall was still popular over 3 months after release, yet it was all but dead a year later.
Overwatch needs a capture the flag mode.
>>343463495
TF2 actually has really good maps, and lots of them, as opposed to OW which has 2-3 good maps and the rest are hallway chokecity.
>>343464006
Awful idea, everyone would just pick Tracer
>>343463961
You say that as if they aren't planning on putting out updates for Overwatch
>>343463660
Doesn't matter when it fades out, they already made their money.
There are only two problems with Overwatch, and they are 20tick and shit map design.
Both of these are 100% fixable, and eventually will be. Blizzard is usually stubborn but even they eventually give in.
Anything else are memes or nonissues.
>>343463495
TF2 has more than two game types
>>343464081It's a Weekly Brawl. You can only BE Tracer
Blizzard should hire me and you, I feel like we make a good ping pong idea team
The game is normie central. The kind of shit you hear people talking about on mic on Friday nights is crazy. It has nothing to do with the game. It's just their personal conversations about work and whatnot.
>>343464105
Yeah no they haven't.
Titan has been in development for ages, and OW was just assembled from scraps. They've lost lots of money on the extremely aggressive and prevalent marketing and the failure of Titan.
>>343463865
>>343464047
>>343464175
Oh just kidding.

>>343463901
Amaizing how DOTA2 gave zero cucks about OW accoring to Galoyonkin/SteamSpy.
>>343463945
You don't need to be pro to feel DOTA2 complexity and rich gameplay detail.
When I played OW at beta I knew everything about the game in a day. I mean, really? It took me months to become competent in LoL (2010) and at least a year in DOTA2. I don't main anything, yet still there's many characters I don't know well.

>>343463660
I'm still wondering why there are people playing Dota2 and tf2
It's like they are autistic and can't stop defending valve for making kiddy games
>>343464093
Updates doesn't naturally equate to retaining players. If players lost interest in the core of the core of the game, or they lose the free time to devote hours of time to the game (as would happen when school starts), then no amount of updates will save the game.
The lack of complexity and progression in Overwatch could be its Achilles Heel. We'll see in two months.

Self-respect. Blizzard sold last bits they had to Bobby 9 years ago.
>>343464469
give me the statistics then you retard
I guarantee you they had a marketing budget of at least $100 million dollars with ads on literally every site, billboards and even TV, that shit doesn't happen free
fuck off shill
>>343464486
Why do people think OW requires literally no skill? It's a bit more casual than other games but seemingly everyone on this side of the argument thinks that the game just lets you win for picking the right characters.
I'd say the game is only shallow in comparison because characters are relativley simple and there isn't any kind of advanced movement like in TF2.
>xboxhueg hitboxes on everything and everyone
This is a problem though, mainly with the heads. Hanzo in particular can just lob in shots and get kills instantly.
>>343461391
Blizzard hit that perfect marketing strategy of catering to Frozen and anime waifu autists, and the regular move from their playbook of misleading commercials that show nothing but flashy CG, and not a split second of their bare bones gameplay.
>>343464486
Counterplay goes both ways

The depth comes from team comp and synergy, not comparing it to chess or anything, but it's there.
Counterpicks can only get you so far, a good Phara doesn'thave to worry about her picks if she stays aware of her surroundings.
I agree.
This isn't an issue for me, one less thread about corrupt admins is all I hear.
But:

>>343464970
>Which has already paid off, if their statistics about unique accounts mean sales, which I think they are
Even generously assuming they do, and assuming every copy was 50€, that's only $56 million dollars

Wasted money is wasted money, doesn't matter where it came from
>>343465196

They sold over 10 million
Even with 50% to retailers and logistics it would be over 100 mil already

Fucking this. I thought I could hardcarry in Overwatch like I do in Counter-Strike because I have good aim. Turns out I can't unless I play Widowmaker but oh wait, Reinhardt has a fucking shield. Oh wait, Zarya has two shields. The list goes on.
I'm not surprised that lolfags love the game because of all the abilities.

how would you balance it differently
>>343464384

Is this why LoL is still one of the most popular PC games?
>>343465417
nigga if there was no defense against an infinite range hitscan weapon dealing up to 300 damage a shot there would be no reason to pick anything else.
for reference, Quake Live's railgun deals 80 damage, and there are no headshots in that game. and it's still a really good gun.
Does the Payload/KOTH weighting issue have an effect on placement matches?

>Giving a shit about Mei
Spotted the noob.
>>343465525
Hey time traveller. How's 2013 going for you?
>>343465567
Already fixed.
The only reason this game sold well is because it has the Blizzard brand on it, if Blizzard didn't make this game none would even give a shit about it.
The game offers nearly no content at all, all you can do in this game is playing quick matches, there's nothing else. And with Blizzard we can expect maybe a content patch once a year if we're happy, and that will probably just be like 1 hero and a map.
They're trying to push one of the most casual and shallow games as a competitive skill based game with ranking system when it's just a chaotic shooter.
Game is already dying , as people realize skill ceiling is extremely low and the game offers no content or variety.
>>343465567
1) bug that was fixed last patch, never intended design
2) literally a non-issue with zero actual gameplay impact
overhaters grasping at straws
>>343463901
Eh, the thing about LoL is that it's free so it's the first (and many times only) game normies play.

Just tried competitive on the ps4 as a level 27 on my neighbor's account and got matched with all 80-100s. I thought console players were supposed to be bad. I'm rank 54 on PC and didn't stand a chance against these guys. I'm good with a controller, too, fuck me.

Stopped reading there.
>>343465496
People act like TF2 is some deep game, when in reality it relies on positioning and aiming. And I have thousands of hours in tf2. Which is just like Overwatch, except you have to manage cooldown timers, watch for flankers, zone, manage ultimates, and master more classes before you can play at a high level.
>>343464645
Because it's fucking stupid?
The TF2 cast is a bunch of crazy 1960's mercenaries wearing Halloween costumes as they murder each other, not a bunch of chicks to appeal to the anime loving waifu shitters.
>>343464783
Egyption, and she's hot.
>>343465956
Anon, question. Does the "losing the payload makes me lose a rank" issue still happen on PC or PS4?
And does it have an effect even on placement matches?
Its getting alarmingly popular. I've never seen such strange phenomena in an online multiplayer game before in all my years. Its as if its being played by people completely new to video games in general.
>players hopping in one spot at the spawn point, moving back and forth, left then right, slowly progressing to shooting (this continues throughout the entire match until they suddenly quit)
>groups of players huddled in one small room. They all wait for enemies to pass the open door, then fire on all cylinders

As a Bastion, constantly switching position throughout maps, I've....seen things.

>>343466046
>They are women are hot
>>343465464
Probably by not having a cast of 2 dozen+ characters in a class based FPS?
Overwatch is literally just Titan assets crammed into a shootan to make the money they wasted on development back, and the balance, being literally impossible, comes from a "this beats this" style of combat because there's no other way to do it.
>>343466228
>Playing Bastion
No wonder you see all the retarded low MMR shitters
Why do people say this game is casual?
Does anyone here think some shitter could play anywhere near as well as Seagull? No? Because the game has a fucking high skill ceiling and requires more technical skill than CSGO by far.
>>343466216

>>343466381
While there is some overuse of "stun" effects as well as vulnerable "channeled" ultimates, (moba terminology is too usable here) I feel like they dodged the rock-paper-scissor bullet pretty well. any character have at least a chance to win a 1v1 against any other character.

>>343467343
You are retarded. Winston has a huge range leap that is both longer than Genjis and on a 3 times lower CD. Genji can't run away.
And his "weapon with no max range" is impossible to hit anyone with at that long range, and deals 28 damage per projectile, subject to damage fall-off. Which does nothing to Winston.
Goddamn you are stupid as fuck.
>>343467345
lol
They ditched the MMO for a team based shooter
They introduced competitive early
They have skins and leveling which encourages you to keep playing
They pushed the marketing pretty hard which meant there was product loyalty before the game even came out
What remains to be seen is how the updates will affect the game. People keep demanding new classes but if class balance is disturbed it could raise problems. I think skins and new maps should suffice.

Worked on day 1.
Optimised.
Doesn't have some weird annoying headache inducing issue.
seriously can't tell you how rare this is.
>>343467809
1. Shoot Zarya to bait her shield.
2. Wait for Zarya's shield to go away.
3. Resume shooting.
So easy even a retard like you can do it.
>>343465464
Better hitboxes, corrected damage values for several characters as well as Ultimate changes and charge speed alterations.
Also, find someone capable of running it properly without their shit refresh rate.
>>343467770
Then you have 4 shots that you need to reload 1 by 1 as you fuck off to an ammo box that gives anyone paying attention the time to saunter over and kick you out of your position, or just kill your ass.
>>343467732
shut the fuck up you retard
RMB is 50-60 damage, Shift is 50 damage and melee is 30 damage.
Meanwhile Winston has 400 hp and is constantly firing his auto-aim gun at you, by the time you do anything you're dead.
I honestly have no fucking clue why I love playing this game.
>>343467904
I have a question. What do I do with the massive laser strap-on she plunged deep in my ass while I was waiting for her shield to go away?
>>343467826
>meme skins

Can you name them?
>>343467563
>Genji can't run on walls
>Genji can't double jump
>Leap matters when Genji can dash in the opposite direction, the moment winston starts leaping
If you genuinely believe Genji is in any way disadvantaged in 1v1 against Winston you are quite possibly the worst Overwatch player on /v/ right now.
>And his "weapon with no max range" is impossible to hit anyone with at that long range
>He can't hit Winston at any range
Never mind: you definitely are.
>>343467904
>Sheilds a Reaper
>Just sit there and take the hot Reaper dick dude
Nice friend
>>343468008
You laugh at her because her laser does no fucking damage at low charge. And she should have low charge all the time unless you and your retarded team keeps shooting at her shield.
>>343467926
Oh and fixed maps.
>>343466861
>Placement starts again each season
Just play.
>>343468009
Literally all of them?
>>343467997
I'm kinda with you but it's starting to wear off.
>>343468023
Stop pretending to be retarded
>>343468136
So you can't name them.
>>343465404
Yes because the post-apocalyptic Australians with a fixation on car parts is an original concept donut steel
ITT: I spent thousands on hats! Please come back, you just fell for blizzard marketing
>mfw i don't play overwatch but keep shitposting and arguing with fags about it just so that it keeps getting talked about on 4chan
Honestly? It needs a new map or new weapon update.
Like, holy shit am I bored with 12 maps I just hate playing them OVER AND OVER again. With no map queue preferences I want to play maps and just can't due to this.
TL:DR I'm bored as fuck after 24 hours of playing and can barely play it anymore.
>>343468395
y tho
>>343461391
Pretty much everything. It's just about perfect.
>>343468460
>new weapon update
How would that work?
>tfw you just played TF2 for a week or 2 when you got the urge to play OW
>Don't wanna buy it anymore
>New TF2 update coming now that you got back into playing a little
I would probably care more about OW if it didn't rely almost entirely on bothering 5 other people to play with me all the time, and didn't have all the hallmarks of a game that's set to die 6-12 months after release.
>>343468472
unloved in life
>>343468584
I dunno, tf2 like stats.
Tracer using a shotgun, reinhardt using an SMG but gets no shield, pharah can use a rocket launcher pistol with sacrificing her flight.
Simple shit that would add replayability to the game.
>>343468395
That's a genuine kind of retarded anon.
I dont care what anyone says I know Blizzard used porn to market this game
>>343461391
Marketing.
>>343468738
>>343468584
>>343468460
>New weapons for characters
Fuck off TF2 huehuehuehuehuehues. Stay in your containment F2P game.
>>343461391
It's a MOBA in 3D with a low skill floor.
>>343468612
>a game that's set to die 6-12 months after release.
That timeframe keeps shifting... How strange.
>>343468738
I think it's safe to assume that something like that will never happen.
They had sidegrades in TF2 because the entire games was designed around 9 classes. Overwatch isn't designed around 20 heroes, they'll just keep adding new ones and rebalancing the old ones.
>>343464253
Also the ranking system right now is broken, only takes account DPS, not tanks or healers, why even bother going into comp if i can't get a good rank for my performance?
>>343468612
Blizzard aren't exactly known for abandoning their games. Even the trainwreck that is Hots is being updated regularly.
>>343462483
The game noticeably slowed down and only came back up with the introduction of ranked mode.
>>343469621
7 million users is slow as fuk cuzz.
games basically dead t b h fampai.
>>343469813
You're slightly retarded.
Slowed down and slow is not the same meaning.
>>343469621
>game has a decrease in players a couple of weeks after launch
wew lad
thinking of trying ranked tonight
I heard there are more people who use their mic, so hopefully the team isn't just all over the place
they really need to start beefing the game up with content or people are gonna straight up drop it
>>343467710
This so much. First time since 2011 that they've played a non-ASSFAGGOTS. Nice to play with friends again.
This game is fucking great, and as a bonus, bitter neckbeards can't handle the fact that the game is successful. Feels good m8
>>343470567
I have played this game on PC 30 hours and only three times have encountered players on their mics, is this a console thing or am I playing during the wrong time?
>>343469574
That doesn't mean it's going to be a good or active game, it just means that more shit will be crammed into it, but the base gameplay requires a team of friends to play with or you're gonna have a bad time because pubs are shit and private servers are NEVER EVER tier, and good luck keeping enough people interested for that beyond the first few months of release.
>>343469056
Yeah bro you got me whoa good eyes shoulda deleted my post history so I didn't get caught in this pickle oh man what a blunder gosh oh geez
Needs a not terrible match making system and I might put more time into it.
>>343471291
Competitive works fine
I love this game, I just wait for my turn to press Q and I make HUGE plays!
>>343468237
None of the children here have even seen the original Mad Max.
>>343469964
it's D E A D G A M E
>>343470749
you'll find the majority of people aren't solo playing ya fukn loser.
get friends, get voip, get killed irl my niga.
LOOK AT MY CANCEROUS BRIT CUNT FILLED WITH FUCKING FISH AND CHIPS, I'LL FUCKING SPAZ FUCKING EVERYWHERE LIKE AN AUTISTIC 12 YEAR OLD WHO SHOULD HAVE BEEN ABORTED. YOU CAN'T FUCKING HIT ME AS IF I'M SOME SPOILED ASSHOLE CRIPPLED SPECIAL NEEDS PIECE OF SHIT. YOU HIT ME? I'LL JUST FUCKING HEAL WHILE BREXITING AWAY FASTER THAN YOU CAN SAY NIGEL FARAGE
>>343470749
I've encountered a handful of people on PCand consolewho did have a mic. Unfortunately they happened to be brainless, mouth breathing, fat fucks who forget that it's set to open instead of push to talk.
With the occasional kids screaming/random shit going off in the background.
>>343461391
art style and characters
also sfm porn.
Also fan art.

do it, it's legitimately more fun than quick match
>>343473685
This had been my entire experience.
I can't take your nerdy speech impediments seriously, anons. It's like the better at the game you are the more charisma you lack, it's almost laughable.
>>343461391
Marketing.
>>343467012
It matches you within 1-player of the amount in a group
groups are put against groups and solo players against solo
>>343474107
>solo players against solo
Strong doubt. This wouldn't be possible.
It'd be solo players put in with groups of up to 2-4, and some solo players leaking into groups of 5.
You could not just have solo queues and team queues, it would never work.
>>343474043
From what you're saying, you manage to get people who DO know their shit.Im jelly
>>343474308
You're right. He's dumb. Often times 1 or 2 pairs fight another set of pairs with solos filling the gap. Same with trios and quartets and quintets
>>343467609
I love her, but I'm too shit at aiming to kill shit reliably with her. I have gotten damn good at shielding though, and timing my ult, so I'm not totally useless. Kills me how annoying it is to keep her beam on a lot of heroes though. And her ammo capacity seems way too low. Meanwhile symmettra just has to face in their direction and beam for eternity.
>>343462623
only thing dota has is that it came first and the fact that it has a free pricing model.
Enjoy having Pitlord as a "Carrot on a Stick" for the rest of your life.
>>343475035
With some heroes it's actually better to use her alt fire onto where they are running as opposed to trying (and failing) to get a steady beam, for example Tracer.
>>343461391
Tracers ass

There are allot of things that went wrong but it's not a bad game
