It's popular

With jews, you lose.

And everything stays the same. Good job.

How much of an angry neckbeard can you be.

>There are shill and antishill force in this board
wew who knew.
Just ignore them.

Just looks like the general consensus my man.

>it goes back to April
Man, Overwatch's sales must have given him a stroke.

How to make a blizzard game
>think of a genre
>think how to make it as casual as possible
>mask lack of depth by pretending there's more going on than there is

Sounds like every Triple A game ever made.

Triple A games at least look good.

yeah u right nig

It's not Paladins.

funny how many of these doomsday threads are popping up since paladins was released

...

This is a triple A game.

The game was designed like MMOs, so that even the poorest of the poor can run it.

they were here weeks after overwatch was released retard

>died a few months after release

Where can I see player numbers/statistics etc?

>what went wrong

Blizz doesn't release them anymore, I wonder why.

Exactly, no source.
The only one is the people who were desperate as fuck to see it fail due to being a Blizzard game.

horrible balance and lack of content
in terms of gameplay, in the last 4 months they've only added two pieces of content: Ana and Eichenwalde
that's fucking it
comp mode doesn't count since that should've been in at the start
we need more characters and more game modes. otherwise this shit will be dead by christmas

Paladins is literally no better, except that it's free so you faggots can't regret your purchase as much
They're both shit and they'll all go the same way as Battleborn soon enough because these games simply aren't very fun.

Wrong?

Not at all
It's a great financial success
That's what businesses and industries do, isn't it?

They make money. If you want a great product you're going to have to get a refined taste in a niche and then find someone who does this specific game you've grown to like really well.
And then when the fanbase grows and they get delusions of grandeur, they will simplify their games to attract the casuals, and the cycle goes on.

Blizzard's name is attached to it
it was destined to fail from the beginning

Youre acting like hundreds of thousands of people dont still play it, i cant not get into a full game under 5 seconds

>more characters
Fuck no, it has 22, that's good.
TF2 has lived for a decade with 9.
What we need is maps and game modes.

They removed his shield.

Same thing that happens to all games with this longevity, lack of content. But I don't necessarily think it's a bad thing. I would rather have content drops throughout the year instead of a constant adding of new characters,modes, maps that are half-baked, ruin the balance, and ultimately put me off the game.

Also in regards to Paladins, it is fun, so I will play both and other games in between content droughts to keep things fresh, but overwatch is just better mechanically IMO.

A fucking card game is one of the biggest e-sports around just because blizzard made it, dont bullshit yourself faggot

Jokes on you, I've never even played it.

>WoW healer + tank gameplay
>moba style ults (uh oh you died someone pressed Q haha)

hardly even a shooter. All about reddit metagaming and VOIP crap

At least Paladins has some of the fun with a progression and relevant unlocks, and builds.
Builds are fun, period.
Overwatch feels bland.

>hearthstone
>"e-sport"

don't delude yourself faggot

No stuff to do
3 boring abilities per character to repeat ad nauseum
chance-based unlocks which are still tied to level OR purchase i.e. it's a fucking slot machine. so leveling up means literally nothing other than how many christmas gifts you've opened
Ults are retarded. you get a powerful ability for being afk

TF2 lived for a decade because it had no competition

>it has 22, that's good
I want 6 of each role. One more tank and one more support.
But maps and modes are definitely a larger priority right now.

>Builds are fun
Not they are not, they are the equivalent of Cowadooty perks.

These games should rely purely on your weapon, that's it.
Everything else is pointless and should be deleted from the game.

Everything. Everything went so wrong that Blizzard had to cancel their 10th convention because they are such failures.

Does having turnoments and actual teams not qualify as an e-sport? I hate the word e-sport, but thousands flock to stadiums to watch people play this shitty game on the big screen, people actually pay to watch these events

Not that guy, but an 'e-sport' is anything people want to be one. And anyone who considers a casual game an 'e-sport' is an idiot

And yes, people do consider heartstone to be an e-sport, for some reason. But then there's also people who feel like Cred Forums is a quality board with quality content so opinions vary

Fuck you v i like it. i didnt get it on initial release, so i might not be as jaded. the abilities and different things are a fun spin on your typival shooter. the only thing it needs is a way to tell if someone has an ult charged, because using your ult as pharah to surprise a roadhog only to have then hog your dumb ass is really disappointing. its fun and if i stop enjoying it as much, i try to learn a new character. you niggas just hate it because of blizzard, even though a good half of this board plays wow. fuck off. also, notice how none of the complaints in this thread are specific or game related. its either people saying the game is blanket unbalanced or people just saying WAHH IT WAS OVERHYPED I CANT LIKE POPULAR THINGS

10th convention?

>At least Paladins has some of the fun with a progression
Which is no different from the comp mode.

>relevant unlocks
Because they lock up characters.

>builds
The card system is absolute cancer.
And no, stat percentage changes are not fun.
Would be fun changing weapons, but that would make the entire point of a character based game pointless and suffer the fate of Black Ops 3, where classes are pretty much irrelevant.

They wanted the moba community

This upcoming Blizzcon is the 10th one.

Damn man, im sad now

>not his first post in this thread
lmao so mad

Doesn't have this guy.

then dont post in this thread dumbass

Why would they cancel it though, overwatch was a huge financial succes?

If the game is still so successful, surely they wouldn't mind releasing those statistics, right?

Make me.

Almost no one releases those kind of statistics.
Wonder how many games on Steam would release them if Steam didn't show them in the first place.

Nothing
No matter how many times you try to post this, it won't magically become true

holy shit you just gave me autism over the internet. that is some potent shit

It's still the anti-game character. Him and the dwarf dude.
Even the engineer from TF2 at least had the teleport so he had motivation to engage the game. The Paladins clone is a tank and fun to play because he delivers a pro-active gameplay with lots of strategies.

These 2 fucks from OW are simply the worst game design in the history of FPS.
Also, OW has less depth. Paladins has little things like the first 4 bullets from the solider guy dealing more damage, or the grenade that you cook and bounce off the wall and hit tank behind shields, or spread players around a payload, and with a build you can spam them as long the enemy team is turtling. These allow the better player to raise the skill ceilling. Overwatch abilities are usually bland and straightfoward, you just keep using them on cooldown, with very few room for smart choices.

You're welcome.

It was sarcasm but I fucked it by not putting a smug anime girl with it.

What if i KILLED YOU

Ah

What character is this game missing?
>cowboy
>edgy mexican
>hero german
>annoying brit
>doktor german
>bomb guy
>japanese guy
>japanese guy with sword
>engineer spread out over 3 characters
>a monkey

Balance needs work and the whole comp thing is a joke. Give the game a scoreboard, if I am doing objectively worse then I need to see it.

I'd appreciae that.

a game that relies on nothing but rng to decide who the winner is isn't an e-sport, since skill doesn't help you win

it's simply a casual game

...

ITT: Butthurt faggots that couldn't afford Overwatch or suck horribly at shooters. Keep sitting there with your nostalgia glasses you poor fags

>No custom servers or community maps
Well, that's fine I guess, I'm sure we'll get new maps on a regular -
>ONE map since release
>It's fucking shit
>Old maps will never be properly balanced or redesigned
>ONE new hero in months
>Next one won't be out for god knows how long
>No single player
>AI is fucking shit, so much for bot games
>Brawls are the "fun" mode, but there's virtually no reason to do them
>Cosmetics are RNG locked, have fun grinding or buying crates forever instead of getting that one thing you really like

for starters. If you don't like jacking off to your ranking, there's nothing to do. Even Splatoon had more new shit by now.

>Overwatch abilities are usually bland and straightfoward, you just keep using them on cooldown, with very few room for smart choices.

That's the point. That's literally how Blizzard operates. They simplify, streamline, and polish. That is what they're good at and that is what they do.
They don't create deep simulations
They don't create epic battles
They don't make highly skill based, fast paced gameplay or complex mechanics

They make games that are easily digestible for the casual crowd and people new to gaming.
This is their design and they have worked it with excellence.
Marketing then does the rest and hypes it up by promising everything and then delivering only distant memories of what they once said. You should know how this works by now, but even then a lot of people still got burned on No Man's Sky.

It's not the game you, or most of Cred Forums want. But it is the game Blizzard wanted to make and it is the one they are selling.
I don't like OW either, but I can see that they did exactly what they wanted to do.
It's shit by my standards. But it's not shit by little Billy's standards when he pops it into his console and runs around thinking he's awesome at games. And it's not shit by the standards of people who are not really into games and just want to feel like they're doing something.
The illusion of skill is easier to sell than a game with great potential skill

>No single player
What for?
It's a waste of money and time that should go towards the MP, not towards some linear shooter campaign that no one will play.

>Cosmetics are RNG locked
Thank god cosmetics in first person games are pointless.

>Even Splatoon had more new shit by now.

Porn doesn't count
Though we all like it

>They don't create deep simulations
>They don't create epic battles
>They don't make highly skill based, fast paced gameplay or complex mechanics
No one in the industry does this anymore.

I am sadly aware of this, yes

At least we have the old games. Maybe some day they'll be popular enough for a glorious reboot that isn't casual shit

total warhammer just came out...are you kidding me

>inb4 its casual or something

yeah no you can fuck off

>Check amomentincrime
>Only 73%

Whoever decides to incorporate a fucking "loading screen" into an ARG needs to get taken out behind a shed and shot. Don't fucking do that shit or you lose all interest.

Total War peaked and died with Shogun 2.

Custom maps would have made the game much more fun. Blizzard puts way too much effort into visuals of each map. 4 months since launch and its just 1 new character and 1 new map.

Total Warhammer has the epic battles, but they lack many things compared to the old Total War games

How can you ask us to be happy with what is essentially what we already had before, but with less of it and done worse?

>Yfw Pokemon is class as an e-sport.

Wanna make this game last forever?
Dedicated servers, server browser, mod tools and map editor.

Just keep releasing more characters are balancing.
Autists will keep buying cosmetics, so they can still get money from the idiots actually buying loot boxes.

Why does Cred Forums hate everything. I'm assuming what's left of this board is a bunch of 30 something year old "hardcore gamers" that only like le obscure le pc game.

why repost?

looks like a low poly character for a top view moba

Game is fine.

All it needs now are some more maps and game modes.

Haha hah ultimates worse then tf2 crits haha that's so tru

Every update makes the balance worse.
Reinheart has shit hit boxes, some charges vaccume you in, some dont pin when they should.
Roadhog is under tank and not DPS.
Zarya is almost needed in every comp team
Discord orb debuff is too strong.
They STILL cant get Mcree right.
Nobody plays tank like they should.

Working mostly as intended

Blizzard balances in cycles of giving fun to one class and then nerfing it when people abuse it or use it more than intended
With a rock-paper-scissors style of counter-picking heroes and counting those in turn, they will never get the balance right because their idea of balance is incompatible with their idea of counting a class with an other class.

>Its unbalanced because its fun.

Not my kind of fun. "Fun" used here as a 'Let these people have their fun being OP', much like they had in WoW

Blizzard is just plain shit at balance

Yeahhh, I've learned that now.
