It's obvious that OW2 is NOT for the original players, and they are actively screwing over new players because they don't know what it used to be like. They can offer less, because we aren't the target demographic anymore.
Paladins continues to dunk on them in terms of offers for free by the way. Yes not ignoring its own set of issues but damn at least with that game, I can actually earn a skin for free if I grind during the patches cycles with trials.
The game is going on Life support, i wasn't expecting much and i am still disappointed. I understand why they do it, but i honestly don't think new players represent more than 50% of the playerbase, and the new players aren't blind, they will end - up realizing what Blizzard is doing, especially since almost every content creator is a veteran.
Sty, please keep making these videos. You love this game so much and you've poured your life into it, it only makes sense that you're so disappointed in the state of the game. Keep going, it's the only way things could possibly change. You're the voice for a discouraged community. 🧡
Please do not stop making these videos. As someone who has played and supported this game since the jump these past few events and twitch drops have got me feeling absolutely insulted and dejected. It gives me some solace to know there is at least one person speaking out and standing up for us.
I've been playing for 6 years and I recently stopped playing. I hit a breaking point, I just can't play a game where a Dev is this bad. I may come back, but it just wasn't worth getting frustrated every time I played. Blizzard lacks so much self awareness it's unreal
I miss how old challenges were "Win 3 games and get an icon, win 6 games and get a spray, win 9 games and get a skin" and now it's "Get 300 killing blows in a game mode that only gives you 20 kills a match to get a title"
Blizz corporate: "OK Johnson, you were put in charge of rewards for the 20-hour grind we set up for this event. What do you have for us?" Johnson, after completely forgetting the assignment: "We'll give them... very cool... strings of text." *jazz hands* Blizz corporate: LOVE IT, SHIP IT!
Being someone who has played Overwatch as my primary game ever since Alpha, I feel sad to say that I haven't been playing it over the last few weeks, and the more time that passes the less likely I am to ever go back. The greed is outrageous. I feel for Sty, at some point I expect I won't even want to watch streaming coverage of Overwatch because all the care factor will be lost. That has to affect his view count. For now, I will keep watching his vids, I really like them. With luck, Blizzard will fix this mess of a game whilst I am still watching Stylosa's coverage...
@@robertzehm That’s matchmaking, not really gameplay. No other game on the market really plays like overwatch, and that’s why there’s a dedicated following for the game that has been there through thick and thin. (Even through the 3 year content drought.)
As a new player when I saw the event being advertised on insta I thought _"wow, this seems pretty cool!"_ Though now learning what is _was_ .... it is absolutely insane. Why do they keep doing below the bare minimum.
As a new player in competitive... I find it heartbreaking to see the same rank every replacement... Very unmotivated to grind. I would rather seeing the SR or MRR whatever going up and down. At least I know it is moving
They are basically targeting players like you because they all think this is cool. Maybe in a year time they are gonna put in more effort when new players discover all things are recycled
The less effort, the less cost to them - so when they charge for anything the margins are sky high. Those $10 skins? They've not had to pay anyone, in the current or prior fiscal year, to create that. The wages for those folks came from OW1 back when the skin was created. Now it's just pure profit less the minimal amount to have a skeleton crew on the game doing the bare minimum. Thelatter days of OW1 when there were no updates were better than this!
@@leventeberdock355 That's a shitty excuse and you know that. They weren't doing much in OW1 either, the same game modes each event. The only thing that kept coming were skins and that's artist department - completely different team than programmers. Artists don't create game modes or balance things out, they just make art and make animations. So they had whole time in the world. They have whole time in the world right now. They doing NOTHING. Absolutely nothing. Now even artists were ditched, probably fired to cut the costs. White knighting such crap must stop.
I've been a player since 2016, Luna New Year used to be my favourite event in OW1 (not because of CTF), but because I absolutely loved the LNY skins, they always looked so cool. This is so disheartening, there is absolutely no reason for a player like me to even bother with this event :/
I think most of the players would disagree with you that this is the best event, because I know a lot of people who don't like the game modes and prefer such events like archives but skins do look nice. Also it's fine that you have your own opinion.
Wouldn't surprise me if they tried adding a "Premium Shop + Deluxe Rare Edition" button to unlock in the BP to take you to the shop, whilst you're already in the shop, for full shop-inception. I genuinely mean I would not be surprised if they did that. It's 100% the sort of thing the new Acti-Blizz will do. Custom UI glittery crap.
Sty you’re giving everybody else both the courage and motivate to also speak all of our minds about how poorly they are trying to make this game fun right now so please keep doing this cuz if you stop making these videos everyone will slowly and don’t worry although it’s negative talk we all agree and laugh with you about it throughout the video so thank you :)
I love Stylosa because he isnt going optimistic on the chaos of Overwatch. Highlighting the horrible decisions and missing content is just what the content creators should do. Not asslicking Blizzard but stating the needs of players to them. Common Stylosa W
This is not clickbait, it is absolutely truth, you must keep making these videos Sty, your are influential, Blizzard are aware of you, they read the comments on the videos. Keep saying it how it is if it's bad or if it's good, they need real feedback and we as a community need a place to come together to echo these views.
Sty, I need you to promises that you WILL keep making these types of videos. You are one of the most vocal people when it comes to calling our the disappointment that this game has become. Me and a couple close friends have been playing since the beginning, and even got a hand full of new people to join the game just before OW2, and honestly havent really played much S2. It feels like they have taken the game we love and stripped it of everything that we enjoyed about it, and then either deleted it or put it behind a pay wall. I am still hopeful for the PVE and cant wait to play it, but I think you put it very well.... Do they even play their own game?
Thing is, this reaction is probably what blizzard wants, they know every previous player doesn't like the changes but they have so many people already defending the system with *Well they have to make money *SOMEHOW* " ignoring fortnite making billions yearly with a less scummy system, the "Well if you don't like it just don't buy it" nonsense, the "Well level 45 isn't that high just play more" etc *coughyouroverwatchcough* Why change a system making them so much money when they can just wait out the people who care? For every older player that quits due to the new system being worse in basically every way they most likely get a replacement far more willing to spend what they're asking price because it's all they know from other F2P games
Not everyone wants content creators to moan about things - it doesn't change things other than the nature of their content. People that just complain endlessly get unfollowed. If it's that important to you, make your own content.
No dude you MUST create videos like this You are the voice we wanna hear and man this is just unbelievably horrible I’m telling you ever since i have upgraded my overwatch 1 to Overwatch 2 I haven’t been able to buy a single thing just because I’m not willing to give them cash with these horrible services Anyway man thanks for the video Keep it up brother
it breaks my heart to see how much Sty has had to complain about this game over the past few months. We all know how much he loves this game. The recent trend really does feel like watching your child slowly make every single bad decision possible to ruin their own life, and being too far away to actually do something about it.
@@cjknight6354 game has shit matchmaking..u are delusional if u think matchmaking is fine..game is fun yes but when mm is that bad, there is no fun. Winning games and every game being a stomp is not fun even when u win... maybe for you but not for normal people.
I'm glad you keep making those videos Sty, not because i like to watch Overwatch, a game i loved and still love, being brought to the grown like this, but because as you said : you can't let what's happening become the standard, and i'm glad you're still pointing it out after everything they already did. It's hard, but i'm glad you still are in the fight. There is something that Overwatch brought us all through its stories, lore and spirit it had back in the days : hope. And i'm glad you still have hope. Ty Sty.
Honestly...please keep making these. As a new overwatch player, its been rough to look at all these skins blizz are selling. I vaguely kept up with OW1, enough to know that this...whatever it is they are trying to achieve...won't do their game any favours.
As an old player, you have no idea.. it's insufferable to see not only just how much is being monetized but also how expensive it is. It's horrible, we use to play the game because we had fun earning things. What's to earn now outside of battle pass XP, IF you have the battle pass? Nothing done to hog, sojourn/mercy still running wild and here we are monetizing the hell out of a new event. 🤦🏻 Blizzard has gone down a hole that they need to get out of instead of digging it deeper.
@@johnsonspark171 No one is crying, we're pointing out bad business practices. Feel safe to buy all you want, there's plenty of others who want nothing to do with it. 🤷🏻
@@johnsonspark171 That is a really simple-minded way of analyzing the situation. Some of us remember how good this game was and don't like how Blizzard has made an effort to destroy it. Keep your head buried firmly up Blizzards behind and maybe you'll find a few more truffles.
I completely agree with you!! I have been a huge Overwatch fan and have been playing it for many years. It truly hurts to see how the game has changed for the worse. It also fired me up and I want to post my own complaint video. I would prefer the old way and pay $60.00 for the game up front and have fun earning skins, emotes and sprays. There is a lot less drive to play the events now or at all, besides the fact that I have an attachment to the games characters and game play. So so sad.
@@emma6648 In its info videos before the launch it showed team skins like pretty standart skins for the mission they would probably be availablr and if they do follow a Fortnite Save the World path we could earn coins but its Ow so I doubt it.
It’s the most underwhelming event ever. There is literally no Lunar Year event for old players this year. I’m glad you made this video because you are voicing exactly how I feel.
Hope you also noticed the winged sandal charm says it’s earned from the battlepass but it’s not there, which further supports the theory that they ripped skins and stuff out the battlepass to sell in the shop last minute
Yep, completely agree. In the old days you could earn and/or buy skins, sprays, voice lines, etc, and somewhat show them off in the lobby while waiting for the game to start. It was fun and engaging. Some sprays, like Moira and Mercy's signet, were designed to be more interactive. In OW2, none of that happens. I hardly ever see sprays or hear voice lines. I have a couple I use once in a while...If I am playing Ashe and I kill Hammond, I'll say, "No one likes a squealer" cuz I think it's funny. Or, say "Bullseye" if I make a basket with Ashe. Or, I'll put up a spray and "sit" under it, while waiting in the lobby. But, overall, it's become pretty boring. For Christmas, they did the same boring stuff. Why not "winterize" other maps? It's the year of the rabbit....have some rabbits hopping around on some maps - it would be hilarious. Did they keep the fireworks on some stages? I haven't even noticed. It just seems lazy, uncreative and focusing only on $'s.
My experience of CTF so far has been. One team stacks tanks and supports. They roll the other team. When it's 2/3 then the losing teams quits. Not enough players in lobby. Kicks everyone out
Sty, I gotta say, I hope you don’t stop making videos like this. We little players are ignored on the forums, on Twitter, everywhere else, it feels so good to hear big voices like you go to bat for all of us. I was so excited for overwatch 2 for years and now we’re not even out of season 2 and every single person I know has quit the game. I have a series s with limited space and I’ve uninstalled it. I haven’t uninstalled OW since I bought it back when Ana released. I can’t justify this game taking up my hard drive space anymore and it makes me so sad. I wish they would give me a reason to come back, but I’m afraid it’s not gonna happen.
I remember in OW1 when people would get annoyed with Stylosa because of how optimistic he was about Overwatch & how he found stuff to talk about when the game was effectively dying. He stuck with the game & continued to cover it because he loved it. There are many of us who did the same. For Blizzard to make these sorts of decisions when many of us stuck with them feels like a slap in the face. At this rate, I'd have preferred that F2P didn't happen & I hate that I'm saying that.
Please keep making these videos. If you and other content creators stop they will think that the can get away with it if they wait it out. I played this game since the beta and I love it, but it really makes me sad the way things are going and I’m hoping that changes can by made.
When the game came out, my friends convinced me to stop playing Apex and try Overwatch, I instantly fell in love with the game play and the characters. But between how difficult and confusing it is to rank up in, and the terrible servers and the horrible predatory skins I have been completely turned off from this game. Everyone complains about the skins and content in Apex, but Overwatch2 is far worse and it made me appreciate Apex and EA quite a bit. Whenever someone complains in Apex, I suggest they see what Blizzard is doing...
This kind of content is one of the few things that may lead to change. If a large percent of videos on overwatch 2 are like this, it will hurt blizzard or force them into making a change. Keep up the great work!
Genshin impact made back production costs in a week despite being f2p because people are willing to pay ridiculous amounts for content. Until people stop paying, Blizzard will keep prices high because the only people leaving the game weren't paying those prices anyway
I will always agree with everything you say Sty. You should keep making these kind of videos. That way hopefully someone from Blizzard watches your videos & do something about Overwatch 2!🥺
Keep making these man! Your love for the game is so clear that I can hear the sadness in your voice but you have all the right for all this. I don't know what is going on at Blizzard HQ but clearly people there aren't gamers who understand how to attract new players while keeping their old player base happy which I don't think is hard while also making good profit.
Ty for speaking out and making this video. I have played this games for years, and I didn't even look at the event skins / shop knowing it was only going to be maybe 1 or 2 new overpriced skins, and the rest recycled. It is so sad.
PLEASE keep making these videos, please continue being the voice for all of us with no voice, they won’t listen to us, maybe they will listen to you & other creators, I’m so close to walking away from this game & I’ve played since OW1 launch day 😔
Don’t quit. These are great videos. It is my favorite Overwatch mode now. It is crazy that they call this anemic thing a sequel, but what makes it even worse is that by releasing it they took away the game I paid money for and actually enjoyed. I would rather go back and play 6v6 OW1 than this dumpster fire. The company better wake up and fire some leadership. Otherwise, someone needs to put down this walking zombie that is a mockery of what used to be one of the top game companies.
Another echo in the chorus: keep making these vids Sty. You’ve been one of the only OG content creators that’s been screaming this since the betas. But you can’t be the only one anymore, god speed
When jeff left, deep down we all knew this was coming. The only hope i have left is that they are working furiously on the pVe mode, and it will release and it will be glorious... forgive me for not holding my breath though.
Absolutely depressing what they did to OW. I'm a day one player and I had to give it up. Its just not enjoyable anymore. I don't want to pay for the right to unlock something and then be obligated to play so I didn't waste my money.
Yep. I like flats(if you know who that is) but listening to him rant about the bundles when there was those complaints with the kiriko bundle. then I just see him with the kiriko skin, just leaves a bitter taste.
It almost makes me as an OW1 player feel like I shouldn’t be wearing all the skins I earned, because it almost feels like I’m a part of the advertising towards new players - look what I got and you don’t kinda vibe, and they shouldn’t be spending $20+ dollars to feel included…
The challenges are so much work for a single skin. Getting 8 wins is so much for one echo skin. You having to play the shitty unbalanced ctf or bounty hunter is so much work and it’s unfun.
@@BrofUJu its not impossibole, its just super annoing because 10 win in deatmatch were evryone pick reaper/roadog its not fun, and the flag mood hare also unbalanced unfun modes
@@marcoflorian5182 I see what you're saying. Fair. The old system you could just play comp and win. I don't care about skins as much but I hate that there's these modes. If I'm gonna play I'm just playing comp and trying hard lol
@@BrofUJu people complain about how everything cost money in this game, a free game btw but when they let you play for a skin, they complain about having to play lol Just like how people crying about season end derank, they think they should be put into matches with lower ranks so they can move back faster. Hello stupids, rank wouldn't mean anything if is free. That and the only ones to to benefit from that system would be GMs. Like they wanna smash on lower ranks but who do you think wants to smash you! smh
@@BrofUJu 9 games was extremely easy before ow2..Now its tedious like gacha games on mobile. This is legit just a gacha game like challenge. I have played enough gacha games to know a tedious event challenge when i see one. They have destroyed the game using this kind of event.
I stopped playing for almost 3 months. Popped on to see the Christmas event, and the Olympus one, and that was it. So disappointing. I used to get loot boxes and items from the challenge events. Now, I have to play a stupid game mode I don't like, with characters I don't play, over and over just to get a shitty spray or a weapon charm you don't even see. At this point, I refuse to buy the battle pass. I've not dropped any money on it so far and I can't see myself even bothering.
Overwatch having 3 free weekly epic skins per event is a dead concept now. But they’re still going to charge new players and old players for skins they could’ve earned for free if they were playing OW1. Never has a live service game seemed to spit in the face of its player base… and then asked you to pay them £20 for it.
Can you even call it a live service? The shop gets more updates then the gameplay, overwatch is just a store at this point with an arcade game in the corner, the game isnt the main attraction
I think they should rework the rewards if you already have a skin from OW1. A friend and I said if you complete all the challenges for the skin they should either give you 500-1000 (if it was up to me I’d say 2000 since it’s work $20) coins back since you own it. Or a token to get a free legendary of your choice
Blizzard has become so disgusting with their overwhelming greed that I'm thinking of quitting the game. Even though I occasionally still enjoy some matches (when I'm not joining a push map or joining a push map mid game, already losing)
We should all just… stop playing. Someone make a similar Overwatch (unlike Paladins please 🙄) and launch it with everything Overwatch 1 had but, better with more sense lol
I know that feeling Stylosa. Once halo infinite came out and within a month people already knew how bad the game was. It makes you crazy when you have so much passion for a game and the devs make 2 steps forward and 7steps backwards. It really makes you question who’s in charge
this is how I feel currently about Rogue Company. so much wasted potential, there's not a single big pvp game I know that's actually high quality, everything has matchmaking issues suddenly or some other issue
Sty you have to keep making these videos. Even though everything you said, I already felt and see myself, I still always listen to your takes on it. Hopefully they start to listen, it was teased in twitter than more rewards are coming and they are looking into trying to do better
I’ve been subscribed to you since 2019, as I can remember. I appreciate that you’re speaking up about this ongoing issue of overwatch 2. The devs really need to step up and fix the monetization before it goes down hill again. They’re probably sleeping rn honestly because these events are showing laziness.
I miss that... I miss playing the modes to earn a skin for either a hero I play a lot or one that I like. I hate that they changed the amount of xp earned for completing daily challenges from 5000 to 3000. That’s how I was earning my levels in season one, just logging on at the right times since I’m EST and OW is on PST so it was like twice as faster. I don’t even think anyone has mentioned it, content creators or the dev team in the last update
@@missmikad0 Right, I was so annoyed when I seen it in season 2 and was like “What the heck, that’s a rip off don’t make it half a battle pass level per challenge one season and then change it with no explanation or reason the next.”
@@ePotaito It's hilarious to me that they did this..they pretended to listen and put the new hero in a lower battle pass level, but actually they made it much harder to level up so nothing really changed. Or they might actually have made it worse. Especially people who don't want to pay for the battle pass but still want to unlock the new hero have a much harder time now..I don't have words for this any more.......
I'll keep saying it, Blizzard has annihilated my care for collectibility with the skins, and it's saved me a bunch of money! :D I saw, for the first time, a bought skin (Widowmaker Medusa skin) in a game yesterday, and instead of thinking 'wow, I would love that', I thought 'what a waste of money' and 'imagine supporting a financial model that bad' - you don't win either way when paying (what I consider to be) high prices for electronic items.
Quit a long time ago, sometimes watch your vids just to see how it's going. Despite hundreds of hours invested in OW1 I have 0 regrets for leaving OW2.
I don't know where you get the impression that people are annoyed by you calling out blizzard because it's a necessary thing that needs to be done. Like others have said, other content creators are more accepting of it because they don't want to piss them off. You are super real and I watched you since overwatch 1 so great stuff Sty, and please do not get discouraged ❤️
Thanks for calling this out. I knew something felt lack luster about the event, but hadn't put my finger on it till now. The PVE had better be getting all the resources and be worth the wait.
These events just don’t feel like the old ones. Just to have one or two new event skins instead of like 5. And to give out free rewards that we all most likely have too and to get nothing for older players because we already have these items. Sad 😢
Honestly I uninstalled the game the second I saw the Olympus event. I didn't know this game could die this fast after being given a second chance, but here we are.
I played OW1 since 2017 and honestly the way they've done OW2 has taken most of the joy out of it for me. These days all I do is log in, do 3 unranked matches as Moira in order to get my daily challenge xp and then log out again so I don't feel like I wasted money on the BP. I don't think I'll even bother with Battle Passes anymore except for the ones that have a new hero included, if I even continue playing. I didn't even do a single match in the Battle for Olympus event.
I haven't played this game since mid December when I got banned for 15 days because I called a 4 stack, that was trolling me and intentionally losing the comp game, a group of special needs R***rds. Not a chat ban or silence, a GAME BAN for 15 days. So glad I haven't come back.
I really like the Ramattra biohazard skin. I think it looks rad. But I'm sure as sh!t not going to buy it for $20/£20. I've actually decided that even though I like the Poseidon Ramattra and the bug hero soldier skins, and would quite like a queen skin that isn't the default, I'm not paying for ANYTHING in OW2 until they overhaul the battle pass and events. The season pass is ok value but everything else is just complete rubbish so I don't want to give them any money. If they add skin tokens I might change this policy but otherwise I'll remain a free player until I get sick of the game again (which has already happened this season.)
The passion is gone from blizzard for this game. They have become a cash grab. We and our friends haven't played since Ramatra was released because there is nothing to play towards. The game is boring now to play and even to watch. They have betrayed their original audience who made them what they were for this cash grab garbage. Doubt they will even ever actually put PVE in which was what the point of all this was for if this is the best they can do. It's disappointing and sad to see. I won't be playing again, I would rather go back to OW 1 and play.
I agree that the new Ramattra skin (and any other skin) isn't worth $20 but saying the skin is just worse quality then the BP skin and that the new skin was added just to sell more BP's is kinda strange imo. If both Ramattra skins were in the BP I would 100% use the new one. I agree with everything in the video except for his take on the Ramattra skin, but maybe I'm alone in that.
Im fully with you mate, i havent played ow1 as long as u have, but i played it enough to know what it was used to be and the 💩 they are currently doing so it. Events, matchmaking, ranking, lack of rewards, cutting away the fun, removing possibility to communicate at the end of games and make friends to play the game with, even preventing u from squadding with friends in certain modes an the list is long. Dont stop making this kind of video, we need people like you talking about what happens :)
No Mr. Stylosa... Don't stop making these type of videos. I can't tell Blizzard how I feel about the horrendous decisions they make for this game but thanks to your videos, I feel I can, in a way. I am a new player to Overwatch and I can tell you for a fact, this is probably one of the worst events I have seen in gaming. I am not even interested in playing any of the ltm to unlock the free skin because I hate the fact the Overwatch veterans have nothing to gain from this event and the monetization is very predatory. My disappointment as a new player is immeasurable😒
Blizzard would make so much more money say if legendary was $5 and epics $2.50 as a hell of alot of people would buy it but blizzard would never do it as its corporate greed
I have since quit overwatch. I see literally zero reason to play. No rewards. Gameplay isn't fun. Toxicity has remained the same. Basically. This is worst than overwatch 1 by leaps. I think if the devs cared about their players. None of this would be happening. It's time to let go everyone.
my thing is like why did they take away all the free grind..... you can have free grind and also skins to buy... like i wouldnt mind spending the extra 10-20 on a skin that looks awesome if i had like 3-5 skins to freely unlock.... like whats their issue. honestly getting disgusted
I'm amazed that a relatively new game can run out of steam so fast. Especially when it's a sequel and this is how they ruined the first one. It's just bizar..
Seriously, this is the only game I play consistently. So I’m no longer a gamer anymore because this game is just terrible now. Hope they lose investors and their stock goes down the toilet and they go under. I wanted them to succeed but they’ve shown their true colors with how they’ve put no effort into making a good sequel.
I use to play ALL the time Nearly every day Now I barely place once or twice a month I’ve no want to play I refuse to pay for shitty things, especially when it was free ans if you played you earned it Being forced to play for like 40 hours to get the new hero for free is utter bs I’ve 0 want to play anymore and this was the only game I played for like 6 years STRAIGHT
Let's also talk about the same old events every single years they get millions in skins and can't come up with fresh new ideas for events it gets old quick
What's even worse is that Mae already got a Lunar New Year skin years back. There are so many heroes who don't have a Lunar New Year skin and they just give Mae a hat. What exactly are the OW devs doing? They want to sell skins but they don't want to actually make any real skins.
"There's no world I pay you 20 dollars for this skin Blizzard." I paid 40 dollars for the whole game 6 years ago and they think I'll pay 20 bucks for one skin I can't even see when I'm playing?
After 1400 hours and 6+ years of playing Overwatch 1, i uninstalled last month. But still keep coming back to watch OW2 videos from Stylosa. Thanks for the work!
I just uninstalled this game. I'm not supporting greedy companies making millions off of gamers who don't question the half assed products we see these days. We need to stop supporting these companies.
As an old player there is not reason to keep playing especially with the events, and it just so sad the way the shop works it keep getting worse and worse my friends don't even play ow2 we all just so fed up with the store the skins is just so dry and disappointing
It's obvious that OW2 is NOT for the original players, and they are actively screwing over new players because they don't know what it used to be like. They can offer less, because we aren't the target demographic anymore.
Hi I Talk
DING DING DING!
Paladins continues to dunk on them in terms of offers for free by the way. Yes not ignoring its own set of issues but damn at least with that game, I can actually earn a skin for free if I grind during the patches cycles with trials.
Still keep shouting off the rooftops what Blizz is doing though. We need to educate the new people what Blizz is doing.
The game is going on Life support, i wasn't expecting much and i am still disappointed.
I understand why they do it, but i honestly don't think new players represent more than 50% of the playerbase, and the new players aren't blind, they will end - up realizing what Blizzard is doing, especially since almost every content creator is a veteran.
Sty, please keep making these videos. You love this game so much and you've poured your life into it, it only makes sense that you're so disappointed in the state of the game. Keep going, it's the only way things could possibly change. You're the voice for a discouraged community. 🧡
I agree, stylosa is doing a brilliant job, keep it up ... and I envy your optimism. Bliz never heard its community, not since many decades now ^^
Facts i didnt really play overwatch 1 that much and i have these skins without even remembering that i got them so easily and so frequently.
Please do not stop making these videos. As someone who has played and supported this game since the jump these past few events and twitch drops have got me feeling absolutely insulted and dejected. It gives me some solace to know there is at least one person speaking out and standing up for us.
I've been playing for 6 years and I recently stopped playing. I hit a breaking point, I just can't play a game where a Dev is this bad. I may come back, but it just wasn't worth getting frustrated every time I played. Blizzard lacks so much self awareness it's unreal
I just hit the breakpoint today, I uninstalled the game. I just can't anymore...
AH, I had misread read that! My apologies.
I feel the same way.. Unfun and scummy is a horrible mix
@@firingallcylinders2949 same situation here, I just miss ow1 but I know it's not coming back so I had to stop playing
Seeing Sty go more insane as each event passes is wild
Litereally, I was about comment how more and more pissed and livid he is by every 'rant' video
I miss how old challenges were "Win 3 games and get an icon, win 6 games and get a spray, win 9 games and get a skin" and now it's "Get 300 killing blows in a game mode that only gives you 20 kills a match to get a title"
The Titels yea, but you get the Skin rlly quick.
If you win all of them it will only take you 15 games /s
Also head trauma from slamming your head into a wall after fighting a group of lucios
Blizz corporate: "OK Johnson, you were put in charge of rewards for the 20-hour grind we set up for this event. What do you have for us?"
Johnson, after completely forgetting the assignment: "We'll give them... very cool... strings of text." *jazz hands*
Blizz corporate: LOVE IT, SHIP IT!
@@BenutzernameXY a skin that came out in 2017
sounds better to me
Being someone who has played Overwatch as my primary game ever since Alpha, I feel sad to say that I haven't been playing it over the last few weeks, and the more time that passes the less likely I am to ever go back. The greed is outrageous. I feel for Sty, at some point I expect I won't even want to watch streaming coverage of Overwatch because all the care factor will be lost. That has to affect his view count. For now, I will keep watching his vids, I really like them. With luck, Blizzard will fix this mess of a game whilst I am still watching Stylosa's coverage...
It breaks my heart watching stylosa lose it when he loves this game so much
It breaks the heart of every vet that shares his sentiment. Gameplay wise I love OW2 but everything else, my god.
@@ElainaMaruyamahow is the gameplay good? You either roll the other team or get rolled every game.
@@robertzehm Its fun just to shoot people when you play a game or 2 a week, but if you play this game alot it gets on your nerves
@@robertzehm That’s matchmaking, not really gameplay. No other game on the market really plays like overwatch, and that’s why there’s a dedicated following for the game that has been there through thick and thin. (Even through the 3 year content drought.)
and if he stops talking about it, unfortunately no one will hear our frustrations. It's a lose lose situation.
Bro keep making these...dont stop vent your frustration. You are our mouthpiece.
As a new player when I saw the event being advertised on insta I thought _"wow, this seems pretty cool!"_ Though now learning what is _was_ .... it is absolutely insane. Why do they keep doing below the bare minimum.
As a new player in competitive... I find it heartbreaking to see the same rank every replacement... Very unmotivated to grind. I would rather seeing the SR or MRR whatever going up and down. At least I know it is moving
@@leventeberdock355 ...but is that relevant to the lunar new year event?
They are basically targeting players like you because they all think this is cool. Maybe in a year time they are gonna put in more effort when new players discover all things are recycled
The less effort, the less cost to them - so when they charge for anything the margins are sky high. Those $10 skins? They've not had to pay anyone, in the current or prior fiscal year, to create that. The wages for those folks came from OW1 back when the skin was created. Now it's just pure profit less the minimal amount to have a skeleton crew on the game doing the bare minimum. Thelatter days of OW1 when there were no updates were better than this!
@@leventeberdock355 That's a shitty excuse and you know that. They weren't doing much in OW1 either, the same game modes each event. The only thing that kept coming were skins and that's artist department - completely different team than programmers. Artists don't create game modes or balance things out, they just make art and make animations.
So they had whole time in the world. They have whole time in the world right now. They doing NOTHING. Absolutely nothing. Now even artists were ditched, probably fired to cut the costs.
White knighting such crap must stop.
I've been a player since 2016, Luna New Year used to be my favourite event in OW1 (not because of CTF), but because I absolutely loved the LNY skins, they always looked so cool. This is so disheartening, there is absolutely no reason for a player like me to even bother with this event :/
I think most of the players would disagree with you that this is the best event, because I know a lot of people who don't like the game modes and prefer such events like archives but skins do look nice. Also it's fine that you have your own opinion.
I preferred the archives, but there were only 2 of those
I'm surprised they didn't add a third shop button to the main menu for the event.
Wouldn't surprise me if they tried adding a "Premium Shop + Deluxe Rare Edition" button to unlock in the BP to take you to the shop, whilst you're already in the shop, for full shop-inception. I genuinely mean I would not be surprised if they did that. It's 100% the sort of thing the new Acti-Blizz will do. Custom UI glittery crap.
Sty you’re giving everybody else both the courage and motivate to also speak all of our minds about how poorly they are trying to make this game fun right now so please keep doing this cuz if you stop making these videos everyone will slowly and don’t worry although it’s negative talk we all agree and laugh with you about it throughout the video so thank you :)
I love Stylosa because he isnt going optimistic on the chaos of Overwatch. Highlighting the horrible decisions and missing content is just what the content creators should do. Not asslicking Blizzard but stating the needs of players to them. Common Stylosa W
The game is fine, very fun to play at its core. People just love to complain.
@@tj9287 yeah i love either steamrolling or getting steamrolled the game is shit
That's what most content creators that cover Overwatch are doing, from what I've seen. Even the subreddit is up in arms over this shit.
@@tj9287 Found the Blizzard bootlicker
@@tj9287 yeah the core game is fun (besides push needs to be looked at) but the complaints about the shop and all that stuff is horribly garbage.
This is not clickbait, it is absolutely truth, you must keep making these videos Sty, your are influential, Blizzard are aware of you, they read the comments on the videos. Keep saying it how it is if it's bad or if it's good, they need real feedback and we as a community need a place to come together to echo these views.
Sty, I need you to promises that you WILL keep making these types of videos. You are one of the most vocal people when it comes to calling our the disappointment that this game has become. Me and a couple close friends have been playing since the beginning, and even got a hand full of new people to join the game just before OW2, and honestly havent really played much S2. It feels like they have taken the game we love and stripped it of everything that we enjoyed about it, and then either deleted it or put it behind a pay wall. I am still hopeful for the PVE and cant wait to play it, but I think you put it very well.... Do they even play their own game?
Thing is, this reaction is probably what blizzard wants, they know every previous player doesn't like the changes but they have so many people already defending the system with *Well they have to make money *SOMEHOW* " ignoring fortnite making billions yearly with a less scummy system, the "Well if you don't like it just don't buy it" nonsense, the "Well level 45 isn't that high just play more" etc *coughyouroverwatchcough*
Why change a system making them so much money when they can just wait out the people who care? For every older player that quits due to the new system being worse in basically every way they most likely get a replacement far more willing to spend what they're asking price because it's all they know from other F2P games
@@SweeneyII big agree. But youroverwatch doesn’t do the shilling anymore.
Stylosa doesn't owe you anything
@@questionablelifechoices7501 dude sucks and speaks in pauses
Not everyone wants content creators to moan about things - it doesn't change things other than the nature of their content. People that just complain endlessly get unfollowed.
If it's that important to you, make your own content.
No dude you MUST create videos like this
You are the voice we wanna hear and man this is just unbelievably horrible
I’m telling you ever since i have upgraded my overwatch 1 to Overwatch 2 I haven’t been able to buy a single thing just because I’m not willing to give them cash with these horrible services
Anyway man thanks for the video
Keep it up brother
it breaks my heart to see how much Sty has had to complain about this game over the past few months. We all know how much he loves this game. The recent trend really does feel like watching your child slowly make every single bad decision possible to ruin their own life, and being too far away to actually do something about it.
yeah it's terribly sad
then he should stop complainig like the cry baby he is
nah, I'm pretty sure he's making these videos because hating on overwatch 2 is a hot topic right now and just trying to get views.
@@cjknight6354 game has shit matchmaking..u are delusional if u think matchmaking is fine..game is fun yes but when mm is that bad, there is no fun. Winning games and every game being a stomp is not fun even when u win... maybe for you but not for normal people.
@@cjknight6354 maybe because ow2 is actually stale and trash rn 💀
L bozo
I'm glad you keep making those videos Sty, not because i like to watch Overwatch, a game i loved and still love, being brought to the grown like this, but because as you said : you can't let what's happening become the standard, and i'm glad you're still pointing it out after everything they already did. It's hard, but i'm glad you still are in the fight. There is something that Overwatch brought us all through its stories, lore and spirit it had back in the days : hope. And i'm glad you still have hope. Ty Sty.
Honestly...please keep making these. As a new overwatch player, its been rough to look at all these skins blizz are selling. I vaguely kept up with OW1, enough to know that this...whatever it is they are trying to achieve...won't do their game any favours.
As an old player, you have no idea.. it's insufferable to see not only just how much is being monetized but also how expensive it is. It's horrible, we use to play the game because we had fun earning things. What's to earn now outside of battle pass XP, IF you have the battle pass? Nothing done to hog, sojourn/mercy still running wild and here we are monetizing the hell out of a new event. 🤦🏻 Blizzard has gone down a hole that they need to get out of instead of digging it deeper.
Except it's working. Ya'll will get over it cuz nothing is changing. Either keep crying or quit playing
@@johnsonspark171 No one is crying, we're pointing out bad business practices. Feel safe to buy all you want, there's plenty of others who want nothing to do with it. 🤷🏻
I have more skins than I can use. My friends that just started playing have like 1. It upsets them and pisses me off
@@johnsonspark171 That is a really simple-minded way of analyzing the situation. Some of us remember how good this game was and don't like how Blizzard has made an effort to destroy it. Keep your head buried firmly up Blizzards behind and maybe you'll find a few more truffles.
I completely agree with you!! I have been a huge Overwatch fan and have been playing it for many years. It truly hurts to see how the game has changed for the worse. It also fired me up and I want to post my own complaint video. I would prefer the old way and pay $60.00 for the game up front and have fun earning skins, emotes and sprays. There is a lot less drive to play the events now or at all, besides the fact that I have an attachment to the games characters and game play. So so sad.
Dude this pve event better be the most amazing thing ever… thats all im going to say jeez
Spoiler: it fucking sucks so bad
Spoiler alert: It will probably cost 45$ or smt.
@@Berke_West then you should be able to earn more currency or earn skins for free again if it does
@@emma6648 In its info videos before the launch it showed team skins like pretty standart skins for the mission they would probably be availablr and if they do follow a Fortnite Save the World path we could earn coins but its Ow so I doubt it.
@@Berke_West then I doubt it’ll sell all that well tbh, most people will prob just watch someone else play it
No please keep making these kinds of videos. You are honestly representing the feelings of the veteran Overwatch 1 players.
No, PLEASE KEEP MAKING these videos!! These opinions have to be shared, because we feel the same, too!
It’s the most underwhelming event ever. There is literally no Lunar Year event for old players this year. I’m glad you made this video because you are voicing exactly how I feel.
Hope you also noticed the winged sandal charm says it’s earned from the battlepass but it’s not there, which further supports the theory that they ripped skins and stuff out the battlepass to sell in the shop last minute
He made a whole video about that before..
Yep, completely agree. In the old days you could earn and/or buy skins, sprays, voice lines, etc, and somewhat show them off in the lobby while waiting for the game to start. It was fun and engaging. Some sprays, like Moira and Mercy's signet, were designed to be more interactive. In OW2, none of that happens. I hardly ever see sprays or hear voice lines. I have a couple I use once in a while...If I am playing Ashe and I kill Hammond, I'll say, "No one likes a squealer" cuz I think it's funny. Or, say "Bullseye" if I make a basket with Ashe. Or, I'll put up a spray and "sit" under it, while waiting in the lobby. But, overall, it's become pretty boring.
For Christmas, they did the same boring stuff. Why not "winterize" other maps? It's the year of the rabbit....have some rabbits hopping around on some maps - it would be hilarious. Did they keep the fireworks on some stages? I haven't even noticed.
It just seems lazy, uncreative and focusing only on $'s.
My experience of CTF so far has been. One team stacks tanks and supports. They roll the other team. When it's 2/3 then the losing teams quits. Not enough players in lobby. Kicks everyone out
Same
Yeah, I don't know why arcade modes don't have role limits, it's fucking awful to get arcade challenges done.
Sty, I gotta say, I hope you don’t stop making videos like this. We little players are ignored on the forums, on Twitter, everywhere else, it feels so good to hear big voices like you go to bat for all of us. I was so excited for overwatch 2 for years and now we’re not even out of season 2 and every single person I know has quit the game. I have a series s with limited space and I’ve uninstalled it. I haven’t uninstalled OW since I bought it back when Ana released. I can’t justify this game taking up my hard drive space anymore and it makes me so sad.
I wish they would give me a reason to come back, but I’m afraid it’s not gonna happen.
I remember in OW1 when people would get annoyed with Stylosa because of how optimistic he was about Overwatch & how he found stuff to talk about when the game was effectively dying. He stuck with the game & continued to cover it because he loved it. There are many of us who did the same. For Blizzard to make these sorts of decisions when many of us stuck with them feels like a slap in the face. At this rate, I'd have preferred that F2P didn't happen & I hate that I'm saying that.
I hate how I was right about F2P I rather pay full price again and still have the old systems. God what a mess they made and we have to pay for it.
@@bradyguy99 I still remember the dozens of hate coments i received for calling out all of this
These events have OUTRAGEOUS asks for the free stuff. Insane amounts of kills and challenges. I don’t even feel like grinding that much for that
Ngl I'm bored of this game already, I'm bored of dominating the other team or getting obliterated by the other team
Please keep making these videos. If you and other content creators stop they will think that the can get away with it if they wait it out.
I played this game since the beta and I love it, but it really makes me sad the way things are going and I’m hoping that changes can by made.
Dont make a promise to stop with these kinds of videos, KEEP GOING, ignoring the problem or settling for this BS wont change a thing
When the game came out, my friends convinced me to stop playing Apex and try Overwatch, I instantly fell in love with the game play and the characters. But between how difficult and confusing it is to rank up in, and the terrible servers and the horrible predatory skins I have been completely turned off from this game. Everyone complains about the skins and content in Apex, but Overwatch2 is far worse and it made me appreciate Apex and EA quite a bit. Whenever someone complains in Apex, I suggest they see what Blizzard is doing...
This kind of content is one of the few things that may lead to change. If a large percent of videos on overwatch 2 are like this, it will hurt blizzard or force them into making a change. Keep up the great work!
Genshin impact made back production costs in a week despite being f2p because people are willing to pay ridiculous amounts for content. Until people stop paying, Blizzard will keep prices high because the only people leaving the game weren't paying those prices anyway
No it wont because THEY DONT CARE about their playerbase or game.
@@matijaa124 agreed. They just obviously don't care about a lot of things.
@@stephenjennings555 genshin is good unlike current ow
I will always agree with everything you say Sty. You should keep making these kind of videos. That way hopefully someone from Blizzard watches your videos & do something about Overwatch 2!🥺
Keep making these man! Your love for the game is so clear that I can hear the sadness in your voice but you have all the right for all this. I don't know what is going on at Blizzard HQ but clearly people there aren't gamers who understand how to attract new players while keeping their old player base happy which I don't think is hard while also making good profit.
Ty for speaking out and making this video. I have played this games for years, and I didn't even look at the event skins / shop knowing it was only going to be maybe 1 or 2 new overpriced skins, and the rest recycled. It is so sad.
PLEASE keep making these videos, please continue being the voice for all of us with no voice, they won’t listen to us, maybe they will listen to you & other creators, I’m so close to walking away from this game & I’ve played since OW1 launch day 😔
Don’t quit. These are great videos. It is my favorite Overwatch mode now. It is crazy that they call this anemic thing a sequel, but what makes it even worse is that by releasing it they took away the game I paid money for and actually enjoyed. I would rather go back and play 6v6 OW1 than this dumpster fire. The company better wake up and fire some leadership. Otherwise, someone needs to put down this walking zombie that is a mockery of what used to be one of the top game companies.
Another echo in the chorus: keep making these vids Sty. You’ve been one of the only OG content creators that’s been screaming this since the betas. But you can’t be the only one anymore, god speed
I used to be super heavy into ow 1, now I just complete the battlepass each season and move on to something else. Can’t even be bothered to play comp
A few minutes into the event and I thought: "Oh boy... Stylosa is gonna make a video about that crap."
Digging their own grave... I can't even feel bothered to finish the battle pass anymore.
Its just sad
When jeff left, deep down we all knew this was coming. The only hope i have left is that they are working furiously on the pVe mode, and it will release and it will be glorious... forgive me for not holding my breath though.
Absolutely depressing what they did to OW. I'm a day one player and I had to give it up. Its just not enjoyable anymore. I don't want to pay for the right to unlock something and then be obligated to play so I didn't waste my money.
I love stylosa for being honest and not giving in to buying everything. Other overwatch youtubers complain while also buying everything new
Yep. I like flats(if you know who that is) but listening to him rant about the bundles when there was those complaints with the kiriko bundle. then I just see him with the kiriko skin, just leaves a bitter taste.
@@SecureBirch410 that’s one of the specific examples of youtubers I was thinking about
@@SecureBirch410 Yea he pretends to be with us but he's got plenty of money. Stylosa doesn't actually fold for Blizzard.
It almost makes me as an OW1 player feel like I shouldn’t be wearing all the skins I earned, because it almost feels like I’m a part of the advertising towards new players - look what I got and you don’t kinda vibe, and they shouldn’t be spending $20+ dollars to feel included…
The challenges are so much work for a single skin. Getting 8 wins is so much for one echo skin. You having to play the shitty unbalanced ctf or bounty hunter is so much work and it’s unfun.
Huh? That's how many games it used to be. I think it was 9? Getting 8 wins in 2 weeks shouldnt be that hard.
@@BrofUJu its not impossibole, its just super annoing because 10 win in deatmatch were evryone pick reaper/roadog its not fun, and the flag mood hare also unbalanced unfun modes
@@marcoflorian5182 I see what you're saying. Fair. The old system you could just play comp and win. I don't care about skins as much but I hate that there's these modes. If I'm gonna play I'm just playing comp and trying hard lol
@@BrofUJu people complain about how everything cost money in this game, a free game btw but when they let you play for a skin, they complain about having to play lol Just like how people crying about season end derank, they think they should be put into matches with lower ranks so they can move back faster. Hello stupids, rank wouldn't mean anything if is free. That and the only ones to to benefit from that system would be GMs. Like they wanna smash on lower ranks but who do you think wants to smash you! smh
@@BrofUJu 9 games was extremely easy before ow2..Now its tedious like gacha games on mobile. This is legit just a gacha game like challenge. I have played enough gacha games to know a tedious event challenge when i see one. They have destroyed the game using this kind of event.
I stopped playing for almost 3 months. Popped on to see the Christmas event, and the Olympus one, and that was it. So disappointing. I used to get loot boxes and items from the challenge events. Now, I have to play a stupid game mode I don't like, with characters I don't play, over and over just to get a shitty spray or a weapon charm you don't even see.
At this point, I refuse to buy the battle pass. I've not dropped any money on it so far and I can't see myself even bothering.
Overwatch having 3 free weekly epic skins per event is a dead concept now.
But they’re still going to charge new players and old players for skins they could’ve earned for free if they were playing OW1.
Never has a live service game seemed to spit in the face of its player base… and then asked you to pay them £20 for it.
Redefining a sequel, more skins (*that you can pay $20 for*) than ever!
Can you even call it a live service? The shop gets more updates then the gameplay, overwatch is just a store at this point with an arcade game in the corner, the game isnt the main attraction
@@lruddy8820 Damn for real. “Overwatch is just a store”. That hurts to hear but it’s true.
I think they should rework the rewards if you already have a skin from OW1. A friend and I said if you complete all the challenges for the skin they should either give you 500-1000 (if it was up to me I’d say 2000 since it’s work $20) coins back since you own it. Or a token to get a free legendary of your choice
This video legit made me have a self discussion for about 10 minutes on how this could've been done so much better.
Blizzard has become so disgusting with their overwhelming greed that I'm thinking of quitting the game. Even though I occasionally still enjoy some matches (when I'm not joining a push map or joining a push map mid game, already losing)
thank u for everything u do stylosa and being the voice of the comunity calling blizzard out for this is important i just hope theyll listen
We should all just… stop playing. Someone make a similar Overwatch (unlike Paladins please 🙄) and launch it with everything Overwatch 1 had but, better with more sense lol
I know that feeling Stylosa. Once halo infinite came out and within a month people already knew how bad the game was. It makes you crazy when you have so much passion for a game and the devs make 2 steps forward and 7steps backwards. It really makes you question who’s in charge
this is how I feel currently about Rogue Company. so much wasted potential, there's not a single big pvp game I know that's actually high quality, everything has matchmaking issues suddenly or some other issue
as a new player i genuinely hate how everything that used to be free is now locked behind a paywall, i feel so left out
Sty you have to keep making these videos. Even though everything you said, I already felt and see myself, I still always listen to your takes on it. Hopefully they start to listen, it was teased in twitter than more rewards are coming and they are looking into trying to do better
I’ve been subscribed to you since 2019, as I can remember. I appreciate that you’re speaking up about this ongoing issue of overwatch 2. The devs really need to step up and fix the monetization before it goes down hill again. They’re probably sleeping rn honestly because these events are showing laziness.
I miss that... I miss playing the modes to earn a skin for either a hero I play a lot or one that I like. I hate that they changed the amount of xp earned for completing daily challenges from 5000 to 3000. That’s how I was earning my levels in season one, just logging on at the right times since I’m EST and OW is on PST so it was like twice as faster. I don’t even think anyone has mentioned it, content creators or the dev team in the last update
Ohhh that's why leveling takes so long...I'm actually disgusted..
@@missmikad0 Right, I was so annoyed when I seen it in season 2 and was like “What the heck, that’s a rip off don’t make it half a battle pass level per challenge one season and then change it with no explanation or reason the next.”
@@ePotaito It's hilarious to me that they did this..they pretended to listen and put the new hero in a lower battle pass level, but actually they made it much harder to level up so nothing really changed. Or they might actually have made it worse. Especially people who don't want to pay for the battle pass but still want to unlock the new hero have a much harder time now..I don't have words for this any more.......
I'll keep saying it, Blizzard has annihilated my care for collectibility with the skins, and it's saved me a bunch of money! :D I saw, for the first time, a bought skin (Widowmaker Medusa skin) in a game yesterday, and instead of thinking 'wow, I would love that', I thought 'what a waste of money' and 'imagine supporting a financial model that bad' - you don't win either way when paying (what I consider to be) high prices for electronic items.
Quit a long time ago, sometimes watch your vids just to see how it's going.
Despite hundreds of hours invested in OW1 I have 0 regrets for leaving OW2.
I loved overwatch, honestly but ever since overwatch 2 came the magic was not there anymore and I stopped playing
I don't know where you get the impression that people are annoyed by you calling out blizzard because it's a necessary thing that needs to be done. Like others have said, other content creators are more accepting of it because they don't want to piss them off. You are super real and I watched you since overwatch 1 so great stuff Sty, and please do not get discouraged ❤️
Thanks for calling this out. I knew something felt lack luster about the event, but hadn't put my finger on it till now. The PVE had better be getting all the resources and be worth the wait.
How and why do they keep disappointing us with each update
the thing I also love about bli$$ard putting old skins in challenges/twitch drops is that they literally put them in shop for full price before that
Remember people, this is where the money from these overpriced skins and BP goes to
It’s actually sad how much they’ve ruined seasonal events on Overwatch
These events just don’t feel like the old ones. Just to have one or two new event skins instead of like 5. And to give out free rewards that we all most likely have too and to get nothing for older players because we already have these items. Sad 😢
Can it be called an ”event” if all it is, is a chance to buy some skins?
Honestly I uninstalled the game the second I saw the Olympus event. I didn't know this game could die this fast after being given a second chance, but here we are.
Man I thought bungie was lazy with content lately but blizzard has actually made destiny look like its full of content lol.
I played OW1 since 2017 and honestly the way they've done OW2 has taken most of the joy out of it for me. These days all I do is log in, do 3 unranked matches as Moira in order to get my daily challenge xp and then log out again so I don't feel like I wasted money on the BP. I don't think I'll even bother with Battle Passes anymore except for the ones that have a new hero included, if I even continue playing. I didn't even do a single match in the Battle for Olympus event.
Man I'm so glad they're basically giving us that echo skin I busted my butt to get, thanks Blizzard! 😕
I haven't played this game since mid December when I got banned for 15 days because I called a 4 stack, that was trolling me and intentionally losing the comp game, a group of special needs R***rds. Not a chat ban or silence, a GAME BAN for 15 days. So glad I haven't come back.
I really like the Ramattra biohazard skin. I think it looks rad. But I'm sure as sh!t not going to buy it for $20/£20. I've actually decided that even though I like the Poseidon Ramattra and the bug hero soldier skins, and would quite like a queen skin that isn't the default, I'm not paying for ANYTHING in OW2 until they overhaul the battle pass and events. The season pass is ok value but everything else is just complete rubbish so I don't want to give them any money. If they add skin tokens I might change this policy but otherwise I'll remain a free player until I get sick of the game again (which has already happened this season.)
I appreciate these videos, Stye. Please do not stop making them. You bring the truth.
overwatch is like a marrigage where a lot of love was shared, but now the one partner has become crippled and all you can do is remember the old days
The passion is gone from blizzard for this game. They have become a cash grab. We and our friends haven't played since Ramatra was released because there is nothing to play towards. The game is boring now to play and even to watch. They have betrayed their original audience who made them what they were for this cash grab garbage. Doubt they will even ever actually put PVE in which was what the point of all this was for if this is the best they can do. It's disappointing and sad to see. I won't be playing again, I would rather go back to OW 1 and play.
I agree that the new Ramattra skin (and any other skin) isn't worth $20 but saying the skin is just worse quality then the BP skin and that the new skin was added just to sell more BP's is kinda strange imo. If both Ramattra skins were in the BP I would 100% use the new one. I agree with everything in the video except for his take on the Ramattra skin, but maybe I'm alone in that.
Im fully with you mate, i havent played ow1 as long as u have, but i played it enough to know what it was used to be and the 💩 they are currently doing so it.
Events, matchmaking, ranking, lack of rewards, cutting away the fun, removing possibility to communicate at the end of games and make friends to play the game with, even preventing u from squadding with friends in certain modes an the list is long.
Dont stop making this kind of video, we need people like you talking about what happens :)
I seen your 💀 reply tweet to the event and said well stylosa is gonna have a field day with this one lol
I'm not even excited for events anymore with overwatch now
well... there has to be a reason why Jeff Kaplan left the team :P just saying....
Oh bet
No Mr. Stylosa... Don't stop making these type of videos. I can't tell Blizzard how I feel about the horrendous decisions they make for this game but thanks to your videos, I feel I can, in a way. I am a new player to Overwatch and I can tell you for a fact, this is probably one of the worst events I have seen in gaming. I am not even interested in playing any of the ltm to unlock the free skin because I hate the fact the Overwatch veterans have nothing to gain from this event and the monetization is very predatory. My disappointment as a new player is immeasurable😒
Blizzard would make so much more money say if legendary was $5 and epics $2.50 as a hell of alot of people would buy it but blizzard would never do it as its corporate greed
I have since quit overwatch. I see literally zero reason to play. No rewards. Gameplay isn't fun. Toxicity has remained the same. Basically. This is worst than overwatch 1 by leaps. I think if the devs cared about their players. None of this would be happening. It's time to let go everyone.
my thing is like why did they take away all the free grind..... you can have free grind and also skins to buy... like i wouldnt mind spending the extra 10-20 on a skin that looks awesome if i had like 3-5 skins to freely unlock.... like whats their issue. honestly getting disgusted
I'm amazed that a relatively new game can run out of steam so fast. Especially when it's a sequel and this is how they ruined the first one. It's just bizar..
This game is officially in the toilet.
It literally hurts me as this is the only game I have played consistently over the years.
Seriously, this is the only game I play consistently. So I’m no longer a gamer anymore because this game is just terrible now. Hope they lose investors and their stock goes down the toilet and they go under. I wanted them to succeed but they’ve shown their true colors with how they’ve put no effort into making a good sequel.
Not to mention that player title that we earn, that is absolutely lazy, it's literally just named "Year of the Rabbit", lmao 😂
I use to play ALL the time
Nearly every day
Now I barely place once or twice a month
I’ve no want to play
I refuse to pay for shitty things, especially when it was free ans if you played you earned it
Being forced to play for like 40 hours to get the new hero for free is utter bs
I’ve 0 want to play anymore and this was the only game I played for like 6 years STRAIGHT
Let's also talk about the same old events every single years they get millions in skins and can't come up with fresh new ideas for events it gets old quick
What's even worse is that Mae already got a Lunar New Year skin years back. There are so many heroes who don't have a Lunar New Year skin and they just give Mae a hat. What exactly are the OW devs doing? They want to sell skins but they don't want to actually make any real skins.
"There's no world I pay you 20 dollars for this skin Blizzard." I paid 40 dollars for the whole game 6 years ago and they think I'll pay 20 bucks for one skin I can't even see when I'm playing?
Really appreciate you still making bids about this Sty, you give a voice to the OW1 players who have been abandoned in the move to 2
After 1400 hours and 6+ years of playing Overwatch 1, i uninstalled last month.
But still keep coming back to watch OW2 videos from Stylosa. Thanks for the work!
I just uninstalled this game. I'm not supporting greedy companies making millions off of gamers who don't question the half assed products we see these days. We need to stop supporting these companies.
As an old player there is not reason to keep playing especially with the events, and it just so sad the way the shop works it keep getting worse and worse my friends don't even play ow2 we all just so fed up with the store the skins is just so dry and disappointing
