    I played one match since the update. Not buying the battle pass so there's literally no reason to play. Trash maps on repeat, roll or get rolled, even if I carry 50 elims 2 deaths I lose anyhow. Not allowed to equip gold weapons so why even bother playing comp for the green ones. Funny character pressed one button despite me hitting the head. This is all before getting into the politics. Why can't I see how much damage my primary fire deals? I consume OW2 content and didn't even know when the update was available until the console prompt, imagine the casuals who Jared Neuss claims as their target audience. I said years ago the game has a terrible return on investment. Got some lovely games on the back burner deserving attention, respect my time, make me feel good even. Wake me up when Overwatch Classic comes out next Christmas.

    Can we also talk about the recent report system regarding text and voice chats? I recently got suspended for abusive chat when I was calling out players who weren't doing their job or feeding. When I got the logs of what I said, the most ridiculous one I saw listed was me joking around with someone with the name Starscream. It was nothing inappropriate, just me jokingly asking them how Megatron was and "closer than second in command then?" Yes swear words were used, but not to insult other players, but it's the fact that now they don't want to allow any swearing in game despite the characters using swears in the in game dialogue. It's ridiculous!

    Played OW alone last night, which I haven't done in months. Usually I q up with at least 2-3 friends if not a full stack and we play Total Mayhem, because despite it's own meta and struggles, we can usually manage to have FUN. I flex q'd for role q QP and got exclusively tank. If I didn't have good healers healing me almost 80% of the time, and my dps weren't killing things, it was miserable. I felt so alone. Not because I was playing solo, but because when I wasn't getting pocketed out of my ass, or cleaning up with a dps, I was the only tank with no one watching my back.
    I'd go in to try and make space, only for everyone else to split up and deal with something in the backline, or flank, or whatever. And then I'd be all alone trying to backpedal only to die with my team nowhere near me. Every time there was something in the back, I would have to turn around and turn my back to 3-4 enemies to peel for supports or whatever, and stop trying to make space, then once my back is turned to try and help my team instead of make space and push in, I'd get shot in the back and die.
    It just doesn't work.

    I’ve been saying this since people were whining about GOATS comp, that being, if double shield is such a nuisance to players, then either increase damage dealt to shield by DPS, or just make it so one tank can shield and the other has to play an enabler tank like Zarya. Like we didn’t have to up root everything. People stopped playing because of that, and it could’ve been a small update from the devs, but instead OW was left as it was for years, no updates. Then Blizzard got pissy and promised new big changes and the game is even more stale than it was. And it’s literally, solely because, Blizzard doesn’t listen to the actual players. They just attach a beer bong to their asses and sniff, or ask Flats, what he thinks they should do. And I love the guy, but he gives advice that keeps him “notable” or whatever.
    Like Holy shit. We had a game, a beloved and extremely popular game from 2016-2018. It needed a little polishing, but instead the devs just went fucking nuts with “tweaks” and “rebalances” and then the whole dev shift from SH/SA. Every update was worse and worse after 2018ish, then they stopped updating altogether. Then Blizzard trued figuring out how to monetize a beaten community and gave false promises. Now we have this. This abomination of too much health, damage and healing, with the exact same strat over and over again with no ability to solo carry.

    I don't play Overwatch, but I was interested in the franchise through its diverse character designs and its lore. The PVE with its story potential could have convinced me to play the game... AND THEN IT WAS CANCELED. Technically, it's worse than that, because it was never going to be fully released and Blizzard knew that months before launch. That little revelation that this wasn't really a sequel, just a monetization revamp, convinced me not to pick up this game.
    I still, however, lurk around to see what is being released as far as lore and characters. Even then, the newest characters Illari and Venture have no lore drops or intro videos accompanying them! It definitely shows me that Blizzard stopped putting in full effort a long time ago. The only thing players can look forward to is new cosmetics to buy in the shop.

    I love your content and have for years. I appreciate you and other overwatch creators for giving the community a voice for years. I’ve listened to you, emongg, super,, eskay etc.. talk about how Overwatch can improve as a game, but it seems yalls suggestions are not being heard by blizzard. As we all know this has been the case for a long time. So I have a proposal to force blizzard to make changes, boycott the item shop/all in game purchases. Here’s my full proposal: All Overwatch creators get together and create a “list of demands” for blizzard, until blizzards meets this list of demands each streamer will tell their communities to boycott all in game purchases of Overwatch. The only way to force blizzard to change is to hurt their profits and this would do that. Obviously creating a “list of demands” for blizzard will be the most challenging part and by no means will be easy to complete, but The only thing Overwatch streamers think they can do is bitch and moan abt blizzard(which is all they’ve been doing) STAND TF UP and do something about your dieing game.

    For the majority of OW2 Ball has been nearly unplayable for anyone not named Chazm. Beating the counterswaps in plat usnt even worth the headache anymore.... just pick meta tank, turn off brain and counterpick if you die to much.
    I shouldnt need to play at a high diamond/masters level to beat plats because the plat players picked the right heros.

    Overwatch 2 is such a downgrade from Overwatch 1 that no one noticed the non gameplay things they removed: where is the sound when someone joins your party? Why even remove that? The amount of times I'll invite a friend to my party, look down at my phone for 20 seconds and be like wtf is he doing is he going to join, look up and see he's in the party waiting to go... Why did they remove the sound?
    Rank icons in game... It doesn't effect toxicity, there's no reason why the other players even need to see it, but I want to see it in the corner of my screen, it makes me feel good about ranking up.
    Player borders... Why can't I have a level with a cool border?
    General chat... Honestly some of the weird, deep, crazy, stupid and completely random conversations I had with complete strangers in the general chat... Why take it away??? No one complained about it. Then again saying that, if general chat still existed it would be full of 6v6 vs 5v5 debates.
    SR Numbers... Obviously it was talked about a lot whilst we had the fucking awful ranked system that we used to have, but the system we have now, although good enough, is not as good as what we used to have. Top 500 players could actually compare their peaks, every montage would say the player's peak SR in the title, because it meant something.

    I’m tired of hearing this. There is a large segment of the community that prefers 6v6 and loves playing weaker tanks where you can synergize with your tank partner. We will keep asking for 6v6 until we no longer care about the game. We don’t want to stop people from playing and enjoying 5v5, but if we are told we can’t even have 6v6 in the arcade because it will split queue times, then the 5v5ers are the ones who have turned this into an either or discussion. People will passionately argue for what they believe is the superior format of the game to be reinstated and you can’t blame them. There is a way to make queue times work- it’s called making it fun. Something which Blizzard and 5v5ers seem to believe is impossible. They lack vision/imagination.

      Because Tanks are actually insanely strong in this game. So strong in fact that you get called for throwing when picking DPS in Open Queue Ranked. Its only Tanks and Healers.
      But playing Tank in Role Queue still feels terrible because of the Format. How much does Blizzard still want to buff Tanks? They are already op af but the format just sucks

Took another break, came back in early 2024 because friends wanted to try the game and convinced me to join. Played for a bit, really tried to like it since I wanted to play with my friends, but before long they said they didn't like how imbalanced it felt (tanks as one complaint) and quit, and then after playing a bit more, I admitted defeat as well and uninstalled in season 10. Just can't like it anymore, I'm not warming to 5v5 at all despite giving it many hours and my best attempt to get used to it and like it. This as a dps/supp main.
