@SYACVG nowadays I don't play overwatch that much, but I'd like to login and play with the hero I want or at list unlock them with ingame coins, like in paladins or league of legends. I don't wanna have to do a battle pass to get any hero

@DeusWombat @aicotwit I mean LoL, Paladins, and HOTS did it and people had no problems with that. Just for the record they did that solely because they are F2P which is exactly why Blizzard has decided to do it with Overwatch 2 because its gonna be F2P.

@captaintaco2345 @SYACVG I think the issue comes from the fact that Overwatch's install base isn't used to that style of unlock system.

@MelancholyOw @SvetlinTotev @Surefour That is a Blizzard problem. The Overwatch community want new content yet won't accept to get that content things have to change like I said a lot of people have spewed hate at the OW devs do you really think they are going to listen to that?

@kelosaurusTTV I like the idea, but it would have its problems. As Unite isn’t as big of a game as Overwatch is, if they initiated role queue, we would have insanely long queues for attackers and all rounders, and fear the game would force each role, which would have no room for flexibility

@DeShawnThomas11 @Slamarchy @OWAnonymous_ sorry if i came off that way, that wasn’t my intention! i only played val/apex a few times but i definitely agree that picks are important, *especially* since you can’t swap. if you’re getting destroyed by the enemy’s comp in overwatch, there’s an easy fix- which is why i’m -

@icyvalleygirl @MiniWhiteRabbit @RogueCompany Completely agree, and it's another reason why games like Overwatch are so successful. People care about the heros. But tbh, as much as I would like something like voicelines fixed, I think RoCo has much bigger problems right now, unfortunately

@MelancholyOw @SvetlinTotev @Surefour Actually it is I just play the game if a hero is OP not my problem to fix is it? Geez no wonder Overwatch has such a bad name and the community is seen as whiny and toxic. Like dam

(@viridi_xx) reported
@DeShawnThomas11 @Slamarchy @OWAnonymous_ kind of frustrated with new heroes being locked behind a pass. if overwatch didn’t have free swapping, i’d have no issue whatsoever! they’re just totally different games and overwatch isn’t built for that kind of process.

@Spex_J This is such a terrible decision. I am heart broken and disappointed in the absurd levels of greed and predatory practices you are trying to put into Overwatch. Disgusting.

@SirZemmy @SeanPC407 @Halo Exactly not in ranked, and exactly they need to be banned for the rest of the season after leaving a certain amount of times from rage quitting. Kind of like overwatch. Such a broken game, even mobile cod is better, AND ITS A MOBILE GAME LOL

@_38mb @DUSKdev @joshua_k98 yes, the "ranks" are for bragging rights and do not effect matchmaking. people want to brag and will cheat to get the top rank. in my experience about 5 out of 6 "howling alpha"s blatantly wall and often aimhack which is a real problem given that there isn't overwatch in DZ...

I think my biggest issue with splatoon is honestly the others I get teamed with tbh. This isn't overwatch. Why are you dying and jumping right back to the fight when there's huge unguarded areas to paint. like

i know that people have severely mixed reactions about overwatch 2 but personally I'm genuinely excited, this may be a hot take but i think the change to 5v5 was an elegant way to fix the tank queue issue

@SkyeTheNeko Then you’re not paying attention to reasonable arguments and making sweeping judgements about the situation. There are multiple large content creators like Stylosa, Your Overwatch, and Samito who made full videos talking about the issue and barely mention hero swapping.

Ok, so Overwatch having a battlepass isn't a terrible thing, devs make the game and devs need to eat, no problem. Skins being in the battle pass? Perfect, I think that's how it should be if we're going to have a F2P model at all. However... 🧵

just everything about this game works so well, even if it can be frustrating at times. you cant say that about most other online fps's nowadays, what with cod vanguard being horrible, apex being good but with UNCOUNTABLE technical issues, lol overwatch, ect.

Im sorry but, overwatch league is not fun if all you see is the same team composition, and everyone is counting on a genji ult to do any advances... But then again its a problem with the balance #Overwatchleague

To be fair to us Overwatch players too, we have pretty good reason to be mad. All of us have abandonment issues. So like, thats a thing, but come on guys, at least wait for the official announcement before getting mad
