Who the fuck cares if it's competitive viable?

Why does this new generation of gaymers judge a game's success by the size of its prize pools and Twitch viewer numbers?
>>
I really do think it's too chaotic to be able to be properly read and reacted to. It's just really messy a lot of the time. Counter strike has a kind off chess like readability to it that makes it skillful to read and react to. That and the idea that you have to counter pick is fucking gay.

Busted

But yes, I do think Overwatch can be "competitive". Simply because Blizzard will pour money into the scene, which will attract pros and then twitch viewers.

The twitch viewership will incentivize tournaments due to advertising revenue, and then off it goes! If viewership drops, the game will drop into the toilet.

Tf2 should have been what cs:go is now. tf2 is both easier to pick up and play and mechanically more complex than csgo. In competitive tf2, they even turn OFF the random spread on shotguns, which they dont do in cs:go unfortunately.

(Pistols are accurate for the first shot but then have deviation for 1.25 seconds or something. This is so scout cant snipe sentries)

>Is this game supposed to play like a complete clusterfuck of confusion, or am I doing something wrong?

Yes, play with friends and it won't be a cluster fuck. If you already do and think it's a cluster fuck, maybe you should think about actually planning how to move in, who to kill first, which heroes to play as, who to counter, who will switch, where to flank.

It's not suppose to be deep but at the same time it can be a cluster fuck, yet "strategic" with some planning.
>>
>>337059358
Well, there's two ways to be the guy that shoots the other, instead of the reverse. One is be NG faster and better at aiming - the other is to see your opponent but not be seen. Roughly speaking at least. This means out thinking your opponents and predicting, if not baiting, their movements and positions. Expand this to 5v5, and you've got your chess analogy. It's imprecise as fuck, but the gist of what that anon said is true enough.
>>
>>337060742
Playing with public groups might be what's causing it. Seems the gameplay relies on synergy and coordination between classes moreso than other FPS games.

It isn't competitive despite how hard blizzard is trying to make it competitive. There's too many heroes to balance. It will inevitably end up like smash bros or wow, where only a couple choices are competitively viable and over half the characters are unused in competitive play.

I was really hoping blizz would just make overwatch a casual thing like hearthstone, but in this day and age, with all the CS:GO MLG kids, etc, making a competitive fps is the only way to get it hyped.

And unfortunately there won't be a big team game mode, which is what I'm really missing from TF2. Big team game modes are necessary to play an FPS game casually. If it's not a big team, there's too much personalization and pressure to do good. You can just blend in with the crowd and chill out when it's a big team. Big teams would really suit a casual game like overwatch well. We have consoles to blame for the limitation to 12 players per match.

Doesn't matter. If a game has a huge following it will get "e-sports". Doesn't help that Blizzard runs it and will fund it.

The only reason why starcraft failed is because League and DOTA2 swooped up and beat them because MOBA games are more simplistic and easier to get into.

Overwatch is simple, it looks like it will be immensely popular, and it's a multiplayer game that requires teamwork. That's enough to become an esport game.

I don't think you understand. Games are always riddled with hackers, when you see multiple "top level" teams in Counter Strike tournaments get banned for the entire team using an aim asst toolkit, you know something is wrong with the industry.

It will be no different with Overwatch, considering how these supposed "pros" are already cheating.

No, all the overwatch heroes are in a group called overwatch. They fought in a war against the omnics. A majority of them has injuries from the war.

For example, Genji got raped anally by his brother Hanzo. Mercy saves the day by healing him and turning him into a cyborg ninja. Before he despised omnics and robotics, but after becoming a cyborg ninja and learning under Zenyatta has he become more accepting of omnics.

if he can do that in 1 round he must be able to do it a lot too? but it's obvious when he has his hacked turned off his aim is just good instead of insane, https://youtu.be/pLrC75XyBNs?t=6m45s

6 min 45seconds his hacks are clearly off and his aim isn't even close or same style
the webm he obviously has widow walls so he can see him but he can somehow control the recoil of fanhammer perfectly snapping to the target without decelerating until he's exactly on Reinhardt's head then it stops. he tried to prove himself on stream but he couldn't even do it again under no pressure in the spawn room, he failed to control the Fanhammer recoil which he did perfectly on a target clearly behind the wall and payload why did he even bother to aim there?

It's even mentioned that Pharrah's mother used to be in the overwatch team.

I think the only option this game would have for competetive is class restrictions such as 2 offense 2 defense 1 tank and 1 support.

>hurrrr it didn't happen in my personal experience so it never happens
I've been bitched at quite a few times simply because it says "too many snipers" on the team tips section, and then they will blame everything bad that happens on there being 2 snipers even if you're on fire. It usually happens when there's a high level player with a mic. That's the sign of a tryhard.

why wouldn't you be able to play it with your friends if some people play it competitively?

Overwatch is mediocre at best and I can in no way see it being competitive, TF2 is and will always be better than overwatch, just being 2-3 of your friends say it doesn't mean it's a majority outcome.

Most mercs have interactions at the 30 second mark of setup. Sometimes Junkrat asks if he can see one of Tracer's bombs and she tells him to fuck off.

>>
>>337062901
True to an extent. The defense heroes have tools for area denial, offense is relatively fast heroes to get in and get out to get kills. Support is obviously straight support.

Restricting the amount of heroes from a class would make the game more balanced though which you can't deny. Rein will probably always be picked, mercy as well except maybe a switch to Lucio or zen to push a last point on payload. Probably pharah for mercy mobility, junkrat for the sheer amount of damage he can pump out. See what I mean?

his game is so utterly devoid of personality, intrigue or any genuine, human emotion. I feel sick after about 30 minutes of playing it.

Something feels so wrong about this game, it reminds me of League of Legends. It's too syrupy sweet, as if it's rotting my brain just running on my computer.

Is this another unfortunate example of the shiny AAA nu-videogame (see: MOBA) that exists solely to pry open the gentrified middle class 12 year old's parents' wallets with cosmetics and waifu bait?

I like the interactions in the spawn room, but I wish there was more in-game banter like in TF2. For example I once saw a video of Tracer killing Reaper and going "Deaaath cooomes" in a mocking voice. But I never hear anything like that in-game. I dunno if it's removed or just very rare.

The only Lucio ones I've seen are between him and Bastion, and between him and Tracer. The Bastion one he says "Hey Bastion, check this out 'beep beep beep boop beep beep'" and Bastion beeps back, the Tracer one they say something about going fast that I can't remember.
>>
>>337064678
So basically they did 'sort of' actually bother to record banter but it's such extremely rare situational conditions almost nobody will ever hear it?

though i'm also pretty sure Junkrat just makes an annoy noise if his ult doesn't kill anyone regardless.

Speaking of i really get sick of it almost always being the same audio clips, like anytime your in the britbong map it will ALWAYS prioritize that stupid widow maker line, or how they think that Reinhardt likes hasslehoff music joke was evidently so good it has to be two entirely different characters only conversation with hem. at least genji and hanzo had an actual conversation.

>>337067089
Can you describe the situation?

Some characters are tanks, and just have a shitton of health. And some of those tanks have armor (yellow health) that reduces every instance of damage received by 5 points, making them highly resistant to automatic weapons.

And on top of that, one of the tanks (Reinhardt) has 200 armor, 300 health, AND a 2000 health front facing shield he can activate. Emptying magazines into him while he's blocking you won't do any good at all.

I don't think it's a very competitive game either but it sounds like you just had a rough game where you didn't understand the enemy characters.
