Man I was really naive in thinking that overwatch is going to improve to challenge marvel rivals. But nah they are just trying to squeeze as much money from this game as possible before they abandon it
Dev: Boss we have a competition in the market and we are losing players. Boss: then I guess we have no choice but to take risks. Do a shop update and offer them a discount but make sure to write 500% in value on every item 🤣
For me, the stopping factor for playing Overwatch was matchmaking. I have been playing this game for 5 years and matchmaking has never been so terrible. 8 out of 10 matches are steamrolls. It is absolutely not interesting when you destroy the entire enemy team with a score of 20-0 and when they destroy you in the same way. Opponents either seem like bots or an impassable wall. Playing Marvel Rivals does not have this. Steamrolls happen, but very rarely. I would even say that 8 out of 10 matches are matches with a good balance and you overcome to win or lose in an equal fight. Now that's fun! This is gameplay, you are playing a game. And also the search of 1-30 seconds is heaven and earth compared to 5-10 minutes of searching in Overwatch, considering that matchmaking will still find you a match after which you will want to delete this game.
Balancing of teams has been a very prevalent issue since the start of OW2, so it’s rough to see Rivals nail it ok their first try when it took Overwatch years to master it and then throw it away with OW2
Praying this next competitive update brings in some exciting stuff because competitive is all I play in OW2 The addition of hero bans would be a big win for me if they add it in because it's implementation in Rivals is really well done and makes the matches a lot more interesting.
I used to be the biggest OW2 defender but genuinely this season + marbel rivals genuinely being so fun and having so much good content- i might not touch thus game again unfortunately.
It feels awful to see Marvel Rivals show up and show that Blizzard hasn't even been doing anything at all accept update the shop. Yeah Overwatch has had balance changes, but after Marvel Rivals I can't help to think that they were purely performative.
I think mythic weapons are way better than skins in general cause of the sound/kill effects and the inspect feature but they did a really mediocre job with ashe's ana mythic weapon will always be the better example of how a mythic skin should look like
I can definitely see the value in mythic weapons now thinking about it more. Being able to use it on multiple skins and all. However it’s still an absolute bummer that inspects are locked to mythics.
I played when they had 222 it was so fun but then they got rid of it so I stopped playing. I think the next season will be better because we will get a new competitive skin.
People complain about the prices and they lower the prices, but they’re just trying to take your money? We need to stop with the disingenuous criticisms. I hope the shop gets expanded so we can get more skins.
I believe the major issue isn’t the amount of skins, because we’ve been roughly getting new bundles of skins every other week. The issue lies where skins is a large majority of the “content”. I’d rather a fun new arcade mode than Kiriko skin #529.
@ I meant buy more skins. I don’t buy cosmetics because they’re too expensive and not worth the price most of the time. The discounts are spot on 10-15 bucks for a legendary under 10 for everything else. We also got the beach bundles for hella cheap at the end of last year. I can agree that new modes are more fun than a kiri skin but I’ll take my toph venture skin over most arcade modes they’ve added. They’ve said that new modes are wasted time especially with low rewards. It’s also disingenuous to say skins aren’t content. People love skins and people make them. Skins are a big part of content and if they’re not good/we don’t get them (event skins) people get mad.
@@WestonMac OW2 6v6 isn't getting the main focus. It's getting open queue levels of upkeep. Imagine if 6v6 was balanced as the main mode, it would be phenomenal. I know I'm stretching to 'imagine', but OW2 has a really good set of devs who make good changes, despite the limitation of 5v5. If you just want a solid 6v6 shooter now, I get Rivals. But I'm looking towards the future, and I think OW2 will come back. After a much needed wake up call.
@ I’m not sure what the balance team has in store or where they’re priorities lie but if a OW2 balanced around 6v6 AND 5v5 is possible that would be great. However as of right now they haven’t been able to prove they can handle that yet. It’s yet to be seen but right now Rivals stands as the best place to go for 6v6 until Overwatch starts doing literally anything.
What would you want OW to do right now? They’ve got 2 6v6 tests and an ow classic happening . We had an avatar collab and a custom shop that gives discounts. There’s nothing that OW could do to stomp on marvel rivals release they have 4 fucking heroes in their first season. Even the mid season patch people complained for no reason when it was one of the best we’ve gotten. I think people have been mad at OW for a while myself included, and they found a new toy to play with. But we just can’t look at what they’ve been doing and not give them the proper credit. They’re doing all they can to prepare for season 15, and goddammit I’m loving it. I haven’t played OW especially qp and arcade in my entire ow career than what I spent playing the 6v6 tests. I’m on every day game after game because of how fun 6v6 is. I’ve yet to get tired of it. I’m really excited for season 15 I really want to know what they’ve learned this past year and see how they’ll implement it.
I’ve been trying to figure out what I’d want from OW and it’s not copying or taking from Rivals. I’d rather Blizzard look backwards to what promises or teases they’ve made before and making good on that. 2 major things I believe would help OW a lot would be PvE being revived and Comp having new additions, whether that’s game modes, rewards, etc. OW2 is been in a rough position for a while but the spotlight is on them now that Rivals has show what years of development can do for a game. OW2’s flaws are out in the open right now, I just find the game disappointing compared to what we could have when it comes to a multi million dollar company.
@ we’ve gotta be realistic. The team that promised PVE is not the team that we have rn. It would also be a Herculean task. We know that team 4 has had massive layoffs and might have more. What OW needs is to regain that classic game feel. Tons of choice, tons of wackiness, tons of fun. This past year has shown us already their plans for season 15 and beyond. First is 6v6 tests. 6v6 role q was fun but it has my issues with role q being stuck in one role. Min 1 max 3 is my vision for the end state of ow1. Min 1 Max 3 6v6 should replace open q 5v5 in qp and comp. This would be much healthier on q times, replace the mode with a more balanced one, and makes a place for 6v6 and 5v5 to coexist. People love role q especially one tricks but even it the 6v6 tests q times could reach 10+ min especially in the arcade, off hours, and towards the end. 5v5 role lock was the right decision for q times. 5v5 just needs something to differentiate it from 6v6, and that should be hero talents. Hero specific talents brings that new freshness and wackiness that was missing from 5v5. I know it sucks but we’ve just gotta let the chefs cook. They’ve cooked for the last year. We got free heroes. We got cheaper cosmetics. We got 6v6. We got most of what we’ve asked for and all they’re asking of us is to help them make a good game. Season 15 will be the biggest shift in OW’s history even bigger than OW2. I’m honestly so excited and I’ve just been happy playing the game tbh.
@@AnimeOtaku56. The Devs dont play their own game and they dont know wtf they are doing. Goes to show with the buff on tracer recently. The only thing that Blizzard wants is money money money and i hope the game dies even though i loved OW1 back in the day.
I belive they will shut down ow2 the end of this year. Atleast rumors ive heard. Its a bit sad though if they shut it down. Its nit the best but atleast to me there is no other games like ow. If it happens i guess there will be other games.
I very seriously doubt that lol. OW was Blizzard’s second most profitable game of 2024 behind Diablo Immortal, it’s more likely they would make OW3 before ever shutting down OW
Got reported and banned for my accent during a match. Somehow my “teammate” convinced the enemy to report me as well. Best thing ever happened to me. Deleted the game right after.
Man I was really naive in thinking that overwatch is going to improve to challenge marvel rivals.
But nah they are just trying to squeeze as much money from this game as possible before they abandon it
dont worry, OW3 otw rn!!
@GraeveGlow If they add PVE I will give it a chance
I feel like eventually they’ll lock in, but who knows if it’ll be too late to recapture their audience.
Sad to see a game I loved so turn to this.
This felt too real
Dev: Boss we have a competition in the market and we are losing players.
Boss: then I guess we have no choice but to take risks. Do a shop update and offer them a discount but make sure to write 500% in value on every item 🤣
How did you get access to an official blizzard meeting…
Yesterday I waited 25 minutes as dps and it didn't find me a match
Sad times 😞

The fact that they routinely remove the ability to buy a digital item always annoys me. Looks like Blizard met The Undertaker instead of thier Rival.
✨Modern Gaming✨ with the invention of the item shop will doom us all
8+ min waiting for games as flex (silver/gold) is crazy ... enemies were waiting for more than 20 so we can beat them in 5 lmao
Lmao normal OW matchmaking
Praying this next competitive update brings in some exciting stuff because competitive is all I play in OW2
The addition of hero bans would be a big win for me if they add it in because it's implementation in Rivals is really well done and makes the matches a lot more interesting.
Fingers crossed, it’ll be interesting as he’ll truly be their first swing towards taking back the crown from Rivals
I used to be the biggest OW2 defender but genuinely this season + marbel rivals genuinely being so fun and having so much good content- i might not touch thus game again unfortunately.
That’s the sentiment I’ve been hearing and feeling
It feels awful to see Marvel Rivals show up and show that Blizzard hasn't even been doing anything at all accept update the shop. Yeah Overwatch has had balance changes, but after Marvel Rivals I can't help to think that they were purely performative.
It’ll take them a while to recover since they’re having to right such a massive ship. However I do wish they would show any effort to fight back
Such a shame because Rivals is a good game but it doesn’t do nearly as much for me as Overwatch used to.
The hero shooter genre is just old, I’m hoping rivals and ow might be able to make it more alive
I got Hog, Lucio, Rein, Pharah and Tracer in my vault deals. I probably have less than 2 hours on 3 of those heroes!
Feels bad man 😞
smoking that blizzard pack
What does that mean
Day 1 2016 ow player fav game All time .this game was destroyed by devs greed and 5v5
Been watching this game since 2016 and greed is definitely apart of their downfall
@ I want to come back too but I just can’t with 5v5

50 doallrs for a skin bundle... what the actual fuck?
Ow and League having a fight for most overpriced cosmetics
the best overwatch can do to compete with marvel rivals is by copying the black market from valorant??????????
At least we got Maxamillion
You truly believe that Rivals is better balanced than the 6v6 mode?
Right now OW2 6v6 doesn’t feel great, even if Rivals balance is philosophy is geared towards making everyone strong. In my opinion OW1>MR>OW2.

Marvel rivals is nowhere near OW when it comes to balance. They literally said they’re trying not to do balance.
man sucks to see, aynway ima hop on marvel rivals
Oh no! Anyways…
imo this battle pass is better then orisas bp like last year T_T
