I’m gonna say couple stuff and problably get -1mil downvote but here ı go.

I downloaded ow2 just because ı didnt want to play hunt anymore. I was very suspicious about the game because of the ruckus around it and ı wanted to see how it’s goin’. But ı’m very f’ing surprised that all that stuff was for nothing.

-OW2 is full of players. It’s overwatch 1 with 5 players and ı wanna say that it’s actually fun (did play the first one only 100 hours or so) . What you gonna play ? paladins ? ı don’t think so.

-Uh, if 280K+ people gave it negative on steam, why am ı finding game in 20 seconds at most ?

-If people were sooooo angry about they lied why in my EVERY GAME there is at least 1 battlepass unlocked skin ?

-“New heroes locked on behind battlepass or challanges” and that challenges are “win 10-20 games all role” which is, practically 1 day.

I’M NOT SAYING BLIZZARD WAS RIGHT ABOUT LYING TO YOUR FACE OR ANYTHING BUT WHAT HAPPENED TO YOUR RAGE ?

If u really not gonna really take action by not playing the game or AT LEAST not buying stuff what’s gonna happen ? EA and Blizzard are the same. They gonna throw shit on their players and they are gnna just eat it. Wow.

    15-20 hours is still insane. I’m a college student taking 18 credits hours, working two jobs and a club sport, I get maybe 7-9 hours to game per week and I don’t spend it all on Overwatch. It took me 2 weeks to get Illari cause I really wanted her (I didn’t care about LW or Ram when they first came out and didn’t even complete it.)

    20 hours is an insane amount of time to grind out for a character especially compared to other hero shooter games. In paladins you can get a brand new champ easily. You can spend free in game currency and unlock them in seconds. If you play the game enough then you have an over abundance of this currency. If you’re brand new and want the new character then you can grind for the in game currency in like maybe 3 hours. And say you somehow don’t want to wait you can buy the character with money for like a third of the price Overwatch has you pay. Even in TF2 they let you grind out the new items in their final update faster than you could in OW2.

    OW’s monetary system is hugely predatory and it’s bad for F2P players. They make it a 15-20 hour grind to get people who want to play as the new character to say “fuck it” and pay for the entire battle pass. Because you can’t buy the characters individually, you have to pay for the entire thing. All the while you have the F2P player sitting in each game while they grind and get to see other people having fun with the new champ. It’s predatory and fucked up but I guess you don’t become a billion dollar company by being nice to your consumers.
