Overwatch
- Thread starter Tejstar
- Start date
I love it when they rage quit, I was so happy that game. I had forgotten until you mentioned it. What do you think broke them? I like to think it was my shatters but could have been you with the phara ults.
Anyway today is off to a good start, first round, first game of the day, first time I pull the trigger was potg.
Edit: Today went well, I won every game, 100 points in like an hour. Not sure if I will be on any more today going to try out this new crackdown game.

I do always feel a bit sorry for the other team when a team mate quits.
I think it was mainly the shatters that done it! And the fact they thought the Sym was throwing the game..? I cant quite remember.
I wont be on tonight anyway, misses is grumpy so might spend a few nights with her..... I think I can still plat by the end of the season though, at least thats still the plan.
Let me know what you think of Crackdown. It looks ..... Interesting to say the least.

The overwatch league is live guys.
The new player pov viewer system is live. seems great for me being able to watch it from healer pov. the quality seems off though. I would sign up for it but not if it carries on like this with res and framerate keep dropping.
Every round so far has been 3 heal 3 tank. Every battle looks the same. You think they would just patch that out of the game so brig and lucio don't work together. Every game so far is brig+lucio.
edit:
wow so they just had 30 seconds where is wasn't goats vs goats. London went 4 dps 1 heal 1 tank vs goats and took first point then switched straight back to goats vs goats for second point.
next round is goats vs goats.
Got to see dps again, they ran, solo heal mercy with solo tank Hammond and 4 dps, tracer,phara,widow vs goats.
Still next map is back to goats vs goats.
finished now, all night phile Vs London was goats vs goats with every one having lucio+brig+zarya+zen. apart from 5 mins when london went 4 dps.
The new match viewer is great, you can learn so much. Also it's much more enjoyable watching from constant pov than camera spinning round everywhere. I might grab the pass.

So at least those Reaper buffs and armour nerfs that have royally ****** the game up for 90% of the playerbase have had their intended result... oh wait, no they haven't... Cheers for that Blizz
Honestly I think between Apex Legends coming out and showing what an actual well designed game feels like and Blizzard's complete apathy when it comes to actually making any kind of meaningful improvements to the game Overwatch could be on pretty shaky ground

They'll do reruns on twitch. There should be links in the battlenet client (top next to news) and I know there are links within the game, saying something like watch live, or watch now.
Edit - not sure if this link will work or not: https://www.twitch.tv/videos/380883671

Recommend watching it before bed, especially if you have trouble sleeping - it'll sort you right out 
I have to agree with you.
I watched the next set of matches after that and again it was goats vs goats brig,lucio,zen,zarya all the way through and this was different teams.
The game seems broken on an esports level to the point where only 4 characters are viable, all the way through twitch chat was just 1000s of people hard spamming bored face and some message to blizzard about dps not being in the game.
There was really no need for them to do the armour changes that hurt the game for much of the player base, it has shifted the meta so hard away from the tanks that many don't understand how to play now.
The sad thing is that in comp at gold and plat level most the time the best comp is now troll picks. Any team that tries to group up and run 222 gets normally gets shedded.

Exactly... it's incredible how out of touch the dev team are with their own game, and laughable that it's at both the esports level and the lower ranks that are equally suffering
I'd respect them more if they came out now and said - look, we're reversing the last set of buffs because they haven't had the effect we wanted, and have actually caused a lot of problems at the lower ranks... But they won't, they'll just come out with some extreme power-creep poorly thought out rubbish like "Rein and Orisa's Shields both now have 50% less health"... or "All weapons now deal + 50% damage against shields"... or "Objects/projectiles/non-bullet weapons now pass through shields"... that will perhaps make a tiny difference in OWL but will further ruin the game at lower ranks...

Last chance for the new year loot - grab it while you can if you want it.
Until the anniversary event (if they do that again) or next year.

Been toying with the idea of picking this up since I got my comp in August. Played overwatch hell of a lot on PS4, and would probably only play casually on pc now as all my friends have moved on from it. Just not sure I can be bothered with the grind up to level 20 to play ranked as QP was 99/100 times complete garbage.
I found this quite interesting...we've been discussing a lot in games how Brig is really struggling in the current meta at our level, but every OWL team was running Brig over the weekend. (She is good in CTF though!)
Yeah, those changes seem to have had zero impact on changing the meta at pro level.
The Overwatch League app offers reruns of every match.
Got everything except the new Torb skin
Can quite bring myself to pay for it.Do it

I forgot about it tbh... since Apex came out it's all I've played - give it a try if you fancy something a bit more fulfilling
I have downloaded it but haven't had played it yet. Not a huge fan of BR games. Luckily division 2 is out soon.
same - not touched overwatch at all since Apex came out - can't see me going back to it either. I've had plenty of time out of OW, some really fun times, but the last few seasons have just been a massive drag for me.
