Basically, F u Blizzard >:(
So, let me see if I've got this straight.
When Overwatch 2 launched last October, it was framed by Blizzard as a PvP-only early access preview of a game which would eventually include a substantial PvE campaign, to be added in a later patch.
Today, Blizzard's representatives admitted not only that the PvE campaign mode has been scrapped, but that the internal decision to do so was made in late 2021 – meaning they'd been knowingly lying about the game's planned feature set for nearly a year at the time of the October 2022 early access launch.
Is that about the size of it?
I was so confused when everyone appeared on my platform, but it doesn't show on the clip 😂
Ok, so a few games ago I had this really good Mercy/Ana game. It's usually pretty standard for me to play attack Mercy and defence Ana or Kiriko, and like normal I played Mercy on attack and picked Ana for defence. Then this little message pops into chat,
And I'm thinking oh boy, what kind of situation is this? I don't know about any of you lot, but I really hate being asked or told what character to play. Although the message didn't, you know, feel demanding it still rubbed the wrong way and I didn't switch until we were at the last point and needed Mercy.
Then he puts this in at the start of the third round. I don't really know what to say at this point, but it's really pissing me off that he's implying that I have to play Mercy 24/7. Plus he literally had half my healing at this point in the game, and if there was a lack in healing it was down to him. I think I had 16k at this point and he had 8k.
Also his excuse that he 'dies' a lot is so rubbish, because it's obviously his fault for being out of position and trying to dps and get kills so much. This sc is from a little later in the game, but as you can see the difference between our heals is just getting bigger. Also, here's an example of what I mean when he's out of position. Watch the Illari:
Completely out of position as Illair lol, then blames his lack of heals on his number of deaths. Like, hm, I wander why. I just couldn't be assed to type out 'stay in position then' in chat because they're obviously not gonna listen.
The rest of the game was pretty close so I stayed on Mercy for round 4 as well, and my guy has the audacity to say GG Mercy at the end of the game. Like bro,
I got 11k more heals than you, it's a bit more than GG.
Anyway, there isn't really a point to this post, just me complaining and being confused on how to feel because it felt like he was complementing my Mercy gameplay but also complaining at me all at once.
The like of a Mercy main :,)
Assult Maps/2 CP
2 CP is now in the arcade and I couldn't be happier (that's a lie put them in comp and I'd be happier) because they're so much fun! It makes me miss Ow1 though 💔
Honestly, I've heard a lot of mixed opinions concerning the flash point maps. Personally, me and my duo partner severally dislike them and would instead like 2cp back. The maps are too large and the spawn points too far from the points, in my opinion at least. The momentum of the games is lopsided as well. You can be stomping the enemy team one moment, and then the next they're destroying you somehow. There's too many directions to be attacked from and not enough defence without a second tank, and there's no one or two chokes to work with. They're so unlike the rest of the maps, I often find myself turning in circles trying to figure out which door the enemy is going to come out of. The whole flash aspect is badly implement as well, you could be at 99%/99% each and the map will suddenly move on, and then it's a mad rush to get to the point. Plus, if you're not moving as a team, it's highly likely stranglers will be picked off and only half the team makes it. It doesn't have the familiar structure that I'm used to with the rest of the maps, and it throws me off. It feels more like a battle royal than an overwatch game.
Plus why are these maps already in competitive before people have learned them!?
Again, this is just my opinion and my experience with them.
Healer Gripe -
When a Tank or DPS runs around a corner, away from you or out of your line of sight, and you desperately try to keep up with them and not die. Then when they inevitably die, they SPAM THANKS.
Like sir, please use your brain and stop blaming me...
There's a time and there's a place for certain things
Just played a round of legendary death from above underworld and our soldier decides that he wants to get the lore achievement on legendary mode?
Like there's a time and a place my dude, and that's normal mode not legendary.
I've played Overwatch for six years and I need mental help. 21. She/Her.
