The rise and fall of Overwatch 2022

mcree will always be mcree
My first time playing OW was when competitive play wasn’t a thing and the term “golden guns” was not very well known. This was also when Bastion was picked a lot bc of how op his gun was. Me being an absolute chad, picked genji and deflected their bullets 😂
Adding too many new heroes for the sake of just having them makes any game impossible to balance (OW, HoTS, DOTA, LoL) there's a reason why TF2 never changed the class line ups and at best you got side grade weapon choices.
I actually saw no issue with Brig or Orisa. I actually kept dying as her. What I did find broken was Baptist, the one with the immortality field.
I remember being in elementary playing overwatch on Xbox until it died down and got so bad I haven’t played since middle. I’m a junior in high school now
you know gaming has changed when microsoft is now the good guy.
i played semi professionally, in the goats meta times, as a flex dps player i burned myself out faster than a bum smokes a cigarette. i was mentally exhausted, forced to play zarya and dva when i really couldnt perform on them. sad times, had lots of fun with this game 2016 – brigs release
It felt like this came out yesterday
Man, I left OW right around the time Orisa was introduced and came back to it recently.
What I'm seeing in your video is shocking past news to me. Brig and Doom just man-handling a whole team is so absurd.
But yes, I originally left because of poor balancing and Blizzard being mute on the forums unless it was time to issue warnings and banhammers for heated arguments.
This helped me see just how similar tf2 and overwatch were
the coop pve gamemode was the only reason I bought the game but then realised it limited time gamemode.
You know what makes a Game die or al least make it less enjoyable to play ? The E-Sports or Competitive, because everytime someone of this make a Move or Say Something about the game, the game change, most of the changes for characters and ReBalance came because some dude in the E-Sports say Mercy wasn't fair, and people like us how doesn't give a dam about Competitive we just assume Mercy Rivive People, make a Competitive always start a tumor in this games, maybe doesn't kill it but is gonna be there making everything worst, because Competitive comes first instead of the other 80% of the community.
One of my biggest gaming regrets is sitting Overwatch out when it launched.
You just forgot that Overwatch was supposed to be free, but then it wasn't
Overwatch 2: we literally couldn't tell the difference between this and Overwatch 1.
The only thing overwatch is good for is the pron of the female characters lol
As a long standing Team fortress player. And being around at the time of the TF2vs Overwatch stuff that went down. Both communities seemed to forget that we both lost an amazing person around the same time for us. Rick may the voice of the solider. For overwatch the voice of solider 76. And then I saw some tf2 forms filled with overwatch players giving condolences. And overwatch forms being filled with condolences from tf2 players. For their lose. It was amazing but didn't last long. But to see both communities going through a bad time come together to mourn the lose of solider and solider 76. It was beautiful.
overwatch fell becuse bob was not the caracter they relesed
i have 8hrs on it and have had it for 5 years
its good rule34 stuff
hell, i would switch to roblox and even gacha life if i had to play GOATS every day without blizzard balancing it after months
I cried when they said "it's watching time."
I was 7 when overwatch was released so not sure why im even watching this and came in to my recommendation when i dont even play
This and r6 are just heartbreaking.
Bro frogot tf2
Its not just Overwatch they butchered diablo and it ended as diablow I loved the game when I was a Teenager and its probably my all time favorite Topdown dungeon crawler. Diablo 3 was meh Diablo 4 ehhhhhhh you were right that OG blizz had good PVE and it was known for it. But to be brutally honest? I don't think Blizzard can recover from this its like fixing a car that sunk to a river and got tossed to a cliff.

Bo Jackson will remember that.
Honestly, I still wish tf2 was brought back to what it once was. It really needs a major update to be amazing.
However, I still enjoy tf2 more than Overwarch.
Fuck Activision Blizzard.
GOATS was a fun time to be a Reinhardt main.
Man, And Paladins now had more champions than Overwatch cuz of the more than a year absence.
I started playing in 2016/17, I thought the game was much older than it was at that time because people were so good 😂
As a person that left overwatch in July of 2020 to play tf2 (last time played was 2016) this is interesting
It could be worse, you could have the same problem as TF2, game being over run with bots and no updates for 6 years.
This is basically Joseju's video but for the English community
Nobody said Overwatch was Blizzards Teamfortress 2 lol nobody. It was called FPS-dota if anything.
damn, as a TF2 player seeing Muselk name dropped as an Overwatch YouTuber hurts
I got into OW through ThatPunchKid's older content during his Apex exodus
while I dont understand stuff like wanting specific roles or competitive stuff, I can say OW feels like a shining gem held by bad circumstance
Odd1sout is that you!?
im kinda ashamed @ the fact that back when i was 13 i was extremely desperate 4 a job so i could get a better pc just 2 play overwatch. ah well, i can still enjoy all the r34 content of it
Overwatch: Aight time to unalive myself..
Porn: Not today buddy!
I was about to write a whole essay when you said OG Overwatch was the best FPS ever made. Then you quickly added before the DLC heroes were added LMAO. Okay you almost got me.
