Overwatch
| I have only been playing the game every once in a while typically around events. Most of the time i'd rather play Warframe, LoL or any number od other titles.That said to answer yoir question fully when I was playing before I stopped I was stagnating. Overwarch's characters are fun to play but each has a skill ceiling far lower than the classes in TF2 for comparison. And each game felt more or less the same sense i was opting to play tank or support. Havent played ranked since s3.
| I play overwatch quite frequently, though I've not really been in competitive. I still enjoy dicking around in QP or Arcade, but I can't be bothered with comp.
| I've been getting much better at lucio and rein, but seldom do I find good times to use them (though that will change when the mercy meta dies)
| I've always wanted to try overwatch, but whenever I look into it it seems like the community is just a circle jerk of idiocy and abuse. So I decided to spare myself that kind of experience.

The community is really nice, actually, at least outside of competitive play, and compared to other online games. I can only team up with strangers and most of them are fun plays anyway
| I play Overwath casually every now and then. I don't have the luxury to play games often, so it's nice that OW matches only last five minutes or so. I
I also really appreciate that every characters play differently, even though the skill ceiling is low. I can just play whoever I like when I feel like it
| Mercy deserves better everything
| I don't play anymore but the SFM porn still sees use
| >>113060 well, you're right and wrong. The competitive scene is toxic as fuck, but the casual scene is really fun, especially in Quick Play and custom games. But for the love of all that is holy, stay the FUCK away from the fandom.
| the competitive scene might be toxic but it'll never been as toxic as the left 4 dead 2 versus community on PC. stay far away from that.
| It doesn't hold my interest.
And my most recent experience involved being placed against the same team five times in a row, being stomped five times by that team, winning one match, and then being placed with another team of premades five times in a row, and being stomped five times in a row.
This level of imbalance from a AAA company and a game that used to brag about having millions of players is beyond unacceptable, and has turned me off from returning, even to dick around.
| Note: It wasn't even ranked/competitive, either. This was casual.
So... you know.
On the bright side, at least the other team weren't being dicks about it.
| >>114904 unpopular opinion here: junkrat is mostly balanced, but his tactics make him difficult to beat in lower ranks. I do think his remote mines deserve the incoming nerf, but he isn't all that unbalanced (unlike mercy or Hanzo).
| >>114955 his ult just seems really good specially on defense in lower ranks there is a 80% chance the team will stay staggerd for the rest of the round
| >>114866
That's weird. I never fought the same team in a row like that. Try versus AI maybe? It's easier than versus people, but fun enough
Tho I can totally understand if you don't like the game. It's just a shame if it's just because of this moment
| >>113774 I think her upcoming nerf is sad. I think if they just removed her chain beam in Valk, it should be fine tbh.
| >>115418 I actually think the Valk nerf is very necessary. Having two rez on hand can save an awful team fight, which makes the game more about who gets the Valk first instead of who is doing better in the team fights. It's no wonder Mercy has a 100% pick rate in the OWL, it's impossible to beat a mercy team without a mercy.
| As well, when OWL players were asked which character they wanted removed, nearly all said mercy.
| >>115423 I do think they need to rethink her nerf. The movement speed reduction and valk duration reduction doesn't make much sense, at least to me. I will concede the rez nerf is sensible. I do still think the chain beam heal/boost is op as well.
| Never got higher than mid plat. Realised i need low sense but my mouse 144g is heavy as fuck for it. Skipped last season.
| >>115440 oh I definitely don't think they'll remove her, and I don't want them to either. The point being made is that Valk currently carries the advantage of 3-4 ults at a time (especially with extra rez), and badly needs nerf. Movement speed didn't need a nerf, but Valk badly did. I'm glad the mercy meta is going to fall out, but at the same time Jeff has been calling hero 27 "meta changing" so idk why they're changing the meta before he/she releases anyway.

| Are you still playing since there is no decent fps game with a stable playerbase? Has your skill stagnated or do you feel that you are still improving.
Personally started to mainly play zen and having lots of fun again.
