> As of today, MultiClick, a tracking site, has Overwatch at first place at 30.84 percent, while League of Legends is at 29.74 percent.
What the actual fuck? You shits told me Overwatch was a meme that would die off in a few weeks. Now all my friends play it and it's even overthrowing LoL as the most popular game in the world. Now I have to start from ground zero whilst everyone else has weeks more experience than me.
>>342225621
You have shit taste for playing either of those games
kill yourself and stop posting forever
>>342225621
Don't worry; it's no Q3A. You'll catch up in about a week.
That's absolutely not what the term 'ground zero' means, OP.
Also your thread is shit, kill yourself.

Shouldn't South Korea be worried about other things? Shouldn't they be worried about being nuked all the time?
Then again, this is the same country that puts their capital city right at the border of the most dangerous place in the world, so maybe they're just dumb.

Actually this article must be mistaken because I read on /v/ recently that FPS games will never be popular in the Korean competitive scene. Sounds like this "Brian Ashcroft" guy needs to to a better job checking his sources.

>>342225621
LoL works via microtransactions, right?
If it dips in popularity too much, are we gonna see a huge swarm of players upset that their invested money was wasted, and start demanding refunds?
Overwatch? More like Overrated amirite?
don't worry, you can master overwatch in a week so you're fine
>>342225980

League was already dying before Overwatch is a thing. People are barely talking about it anymore.

Rightfully so. Once overwatch came out my friends and I realized how awful it is. Being paired with a bunch a retards you have to play with for 30 minutes at the least is so much worse than 3-5 like overwatch. I'm planning on selling my lol account but I'm not sure how much for.

So did DOTA win? It has pretty stable population. Autists keep playing it since WC3 to this day, not giving a shit about other games that get released
>>342226642

>>342226778
I would say Dota 2 "won" in the sense that it will outlast League and any of its competitors.
>>342227030
Dota 2 won't outlast League.
Even Warcraft 3 DotA is more popular than Dota 2 in China

I wonder if there will be shitloads of OverWatch merch over there.
>>342226778
Dota2 doesn't fuck up their game constantly with weird ass changes that streamlines everything like LoL does. I think it's definitely more stable then LeL, at least for now.
It's entirely possible that people start to get tired of the MOBA genre.
how is a 60 dollar game beating a free to play game in Asia of all places?
No shit. all my friends moved from LoL and DOTA 2 to Overwatch. it's literally the same community playing.
>>342227230
All games are free in PC bangs/PC cafes. You just pay what it equivalent to $1 per hour of gameplay time
>>342225621
The same cancers who played lol and fucked up with the roleplaying brazilian community are hyped for this shit. I wish it was banned from /v/ now, we have /vg/ for a reason.
>>342227271

I bought the game yesterday and it's fairly underwhelming
Bad maps and half the classes are braindead
>yfw it overtakes CSGO
>>342227230
one day you'll learn how things work outside of your small town.
>>342225621
I do not understand the popularity of Overwatch.
Having ignored all the marketing before the launch and the onslaught of user made content that followed its release, I had a chance of playing it at a friends house. It was nothing special. Some classes were fun to play: dude with burning hair, Egyptian chick to name a few. But otherwise, to me at least, it look like a an unremarkable class shooter.
Then again, I never got why mobas are so popular.
>>342227328
csgo is way smaller than League
of course it has overtaken cs go ages ago
>>342226118
Korea has a population of 50 million, they aren't worth shit.
China has a population of 1.3 billion, and they fucking love Blizzard.
>>342227271
you need to own the game to play on your account

>>342227758
>Being this retarded
>>342227681
Because people are playing it. Honestly overwatch isn't much fun to watch because its fast paced and the streamer kind of had to pay attention when they play. Hearthstone is slow and the streamer can entertain their viewers.
>>342227694
Really haven't sought any out in Seoul. Doesn't mean they aren't there but I have a decent one in my city. PC Bangs are just so fucking big here that unless they're playing Tekken I don't think they care much about them.
>>342226126

>>342227372
Don't ask me. I played the beta and found it to be a nice little game, hardly worthy of a cult following or even the price they were asking. I think it's the league of legends effect, where a genre that already existed is suddenly the second coming of Christ largely thanks to marketing and the fact that it's an easily accessible game mode.
>>342227872
Yeah all I hear about is Tekken when doing searches, goddamnit.

Implying the game is skill-based
It's the most casual piece of shit no skill game out there, that's why it's so damn popular.
>>342225621
You don't need to buy the game to play in a net cafe in Korea. I heard the cafes there basically have a special deal with Blizzard. It's the only reason why it can match up with a free to play title.
>>342228254
but you said it wouldn't be popular, but now it's overtaken League in the land where League is worshiped the most
really makes you think, huh? :)
all these white 16 year olds sucking korean dick when it comes to esports. koreans are fucking garbage outside of your shitty autism moba and sc1.

>>342228789
The language blizzard used is very deliberate.
Note;
they use players instead of sales.
10 million "activated" players whatever the hell that means. Blizzard is just really good at obfuscating numbers that are otherwise easy to tell people
>>342228789
but it doesn't represent
the only true thing is http://finance.yahoo.com/echarts?s=ATVI+Interactive#symbol=ATVI;range=my
that the company is literally living its glory days in terms of market cap and profits.
I still remember when guys on /v/ where calling a few years ago that activision blizzard will shut down any moment.
>>342228878
Wasn't talking about the stream you idiot that's the total number of daily players
>>342227372
You expect good games to be popular, but that's a bit off.
First and foremost, you need a playerbase to spread the game. My guess would be more, that no one played class based shooter anymore, so whichever half decent game can fill the hole can potentially grab a lot of customers.
Overwatch only has competition from tf2. It still has a playerbase, but not big enough to hinder a big success.
Sometimes I wish /v/ wasn't raging retarded autism 24/7.
>>342229087
I think the only number they care about is the 28.59 billion $ market cap they have.
>>342229225
only (You) can start the change
>>342228231
Both Twitch and Steamspy have commented on how Dota's viewers and playerbase react to other games and trends. They don't pay much attention to other games.

Lol is slowly but surely dying because its niche is losing its purpose.
If people want casual fun, Overwatch is more casual than Lol will ever be, if people want an arts game with actual depth they will go to Dota.
LoL is now in this weird awkward niche that makes it not really marketable at all
>>342230070
Did you misquote hard?
>>342225621
/v/ has never been right with anything like this. Never.
All /v/ does is shit on any game that is/going to be popular.
>>342230158
Pretty much this. If I want to play a casual team based game, Overwatch and even Heroes of the Storm do a better job at providing a similar yet way more streamlined/short experience. And if I'm in the mood for ~1hr long matches in a difficult but rewarding MOBA, Dota does it better.
>>342230158
Honestly, LoL is not dying. It's just that right now, they royally pissed of their playerbase badly.
>>342230489
riot has been doing that uninterruptedly for like 5 years and nothing ever happened, not even a dip in viewership
I think this is the end, anon
>>342230659
Tencent is too big. Right now the fact that the Riot staff think they are not doing anything wrong speaks so much of how much they think of themselves.
I dunno man, the latest issue made a dent for sure, but right now I still just see it as a dent that is easily repairable.
>>342228181
CSGO tended to be the 3rd most watched on twitch, besides that, Steam says theres nearly the x2 people that play Dota over CSGO. So yeah, it's not accurate you moron

>that your game is less popular
What game is this "your game" you speak of? Are you so slow that you can't comprehend context?
You're still ignoring how big of a baby you are for wanting to play the big pop-pee-lar title.

>>342230489
This guy is correct. Riot has been a bitch the past years, but NOW its getting absurd. Stuff like not listening to fans, worse matchmaking for high elo players and overpriced, bad quality skins (go search the Luchador skins recently released. Fucking awful).
Overwatch is getting populat because matched are short so it doesnt feel too bad for losing unlike most mobas, and being part of a fun genre (hero based fps) that only had TF2 in it until now.
>>342225621
>implying the gooks don't eat everything Blizzard throws at them
>>342227902
Except COD and Minecraft even if the type of games without a huge competitive scene compared with the casual demographic, manage to stay consistently on top 15 on twitch at all times.

And Korea is a nation of blizzard drones.

>>342236215
What the fuck? I'm surprised Tencent is actually a thing, never heard of them
>>342236031
Not him, but its a pretty common for autists to be really fixated on something for irrational reasons.
>>342236215
iirc Tencent only owns 20% of ActivisionBlizzard. It's still a significant chunk but they don't have full control of the company
>>342225621
It helps that League has been imploding itself for the past ~6 months.
>>342225621
Give it a year. Casuals stop playing meme games until the next meme game comes out.
>>342236215
