You can argue that the game isn’t making you do challenges, and if you don’t like them just ignore them, but that’s also an argument against daily challenges. All of the XP or battle pass progress you earn by completing challenges could be accomplished easier and faster in ways that don’t exploit players’ time. The big studios like Blizzard and EA are going to have to use their unlimited talent and resources to create a better system than this soon, because the current daily challenge system everyone uses is lazy and predat
I think I speak for most Overwatch 2 players when I say that Zarya is a pain in the ass. Whether you’re against her or even playing as her, it’s frustrating just how essential she has become . If you want a chance at winning, you better make her your Tank, otherwise you’re just asking for trou
After almost a month of this, players are calling for change. Many are complaining that Zarya is the most overpowered Hero in the game, and the most in need of a nerf. And unlike with other heroes, it actually seems to be the Zarya mains themselves leading the charge, as they’re sick and tired of playing the same Hero every ma
Others in the replies agree, and feel that switching off chat doesn’t even put players at a disadvantage. “In my experience, only about 10% of comms in Gold and below are productive callouts,” says TallAfternoon2. “The other 90% is either toxicity, or someone telling people to switch characte
Sooner or later though, I’m going to get bored. Sooner, most likely. I’ll just be done with Overwatch and I’ll tap out. We have a huge swathe of massive games set to launch between now and the end of the year , and helping Ashe move a car around a city isn’t going to keep me away from Bayonetta , Kratos , or Sonic . I’m not sure I’ll be back. Nothing against the game personally, but it has become my go-to game to rewind, even overtaking FIFA . I’m just not sure how long it can hold that posit
Mei has recently been pulled from Overwatch 2 for two weeks because players were using her wall to reach places they weren’t meant to. Maybe this is too much to tolerate at the highest competitive levels, but mostly I just think ‘who cares?’. Didn’t they just nerf Mei out of existence anyway? Is it really that big a deal that you can mess around on some m
Does anyone actually enjoy doing daily challenges in games? I for one resent logging in to play and finding a list of chores to do. Even trivial challenges – something I would accomplish through normal play – rub me the wrong way. I don’t know what I’m more upset about: that someone invented such an anti-player progression system, or that every developer in the world took one look at it and said “Yep, that’s good enough for
This comes from one of the most active threads on the Overwatch subreddit, asking players what Heroes they think are most in need of a buff or nerf. While there are a few mentions of nerfing Mercy and Moira’s DPS abilities, the conversation quickly turned to Zarya, probably the most-played Tank in Competitive right
This is, of course, just a theory on how things have gotten so bad. It’s possible that the abuse will die down as Blizzard either puts stricter measures in place, or the attention dies down after the launch hype. In any case, it’s definitely tainting the game for many, and changing how it’s played all toget
Of course, the problem is ours as much as theirs. When I was a kid I tried to move the truck to get Mew. I can’t remember where I heard it. These days though, our access to the internet and sprawling growth of online communities means myths are never formed and secrets are always shared. The Mei bug is not just a gimmick a few kids found that slowly makes its way through groups of friends, but is instantly broadcast by the biggest Overwatch accounts, leading to everyone knowing it, everyone spamming Mei, and Blizzard feeling it has to step
Indeed, Overwatch 2 Walkthrough|Https://Overwatch2Tactics.Com/ 2 did make it a lot easier to communicate with your team without joining chat. Now, even on console, you can start countdowns, point to particular areas on the map, and single out which teammate you want to send the ping to. Ana players can even alert their team when they put an enemy to sleep, ensuring no one accidentally wakes them up. It’s not clear if Blizzard did this because it knows how toxic its community can get, but it sure makes things eas
Most of this frustration appears to come down to the fact that Overwatch 2 brought the team size down from six to five. This means there’s only one Tank per team, making their choice even more essential. So if there’s a clear winner in the category, there isn’t much room for experimentat
But it’s a problem in single-player games too. If I’m losing a game in Marvel Snap I can retreat and I won’t lose as much rank, but if I have a challenge to play cards in the last turn, I have to see it through to the end, even when I know I’m going to lose. In these instances I have two competing objectives – win the game or play a six-cost card. When you’re playing as though you’re trying to do something other than win, you’re engaging in deviant play. Games should not encourage this, yet almost all of them
