They’re mostly not leaving it for competition in the same genre, because there isn’t that much to choose from. But people aren’t leaving it because it’s a fading fad, or no longer trending.
The niche that OW(1) sought to fulfill better than anyone else in this nascent genre, is still sparsely populated. Those decisions you cite did cost them a lot of business and shrunk the game down.Īnd as for the game being dead? The devs feel the current game isn’t viable anymore, to such an extent that they’re trying a “grand re-opening” with a radical change and reformatting of the entire thing.īut go right ahead and tell me all about how they were totally right because – shock of shocks – after 6 years the game has less players than it did during the peak of its popularityīecause the lifespan of games is longer than that. And despite Blizz’ tepid approach to talking about it, players in the game knew for a long time that numbers were plummeting. Large swaths of players have left the game every time. But your assertion here seems to be equally wrong. In the broad strokes it looks like you would agree with that position. Look, OP is on a tear and I feel he’s completely wrong. Tanks like Ball can’t hold ground, but can contest (and more importantly) completely disrupt the enemy team with his boops.įolks are always talking about how various changes over the course of the games development were totally going to make players quit the game, yet here we are 6 years later, and the game still appears to have players in spite of the aforementioned multitude of changes which folks have asserted time after time would be the death of the game. D.Va can kinda hold ground, kinda contest, kinda dive and kinda peel… she’s stuck in a weird spot where she’s a jack of all trades, but a master of none. Zarya can also hold ground relatively well. Tanks like Roadhog absolutely can hold ground as long as they aren’t being hard-countered by Ana.
Off-tanks can’t hold ground and can’t contest? You have 4 tanks that cannot contest and cannot hold ground - and with easy focus they are eliminated. All of them can survive one as long as they’re positioned well and have a good amount of health left.ĭiscord is a bit of a problem sure, and I can see them tuning it back slightly. Quite a few tanks have an ability to stop anti-nades. Most tanks have an ability to stop sleep. Good ones are jumping around and tearing up the backline.īoth zen’s discord and ana’s nade and sleep this game will end up in a worse condition that it is before. It sounds like you’ve only ever seen bad Doomfists. I’m enjoying tanking much more in OW2.ĭoomfist just jumps around most of the game doing nothing useful. They have much more individual impact and are encouraged to be more active rather than passive. It’s clearly a fairly popular role… only slightly behind dps. Even if you divide their times by half (since there’s only one tank), that’s 4 minutes vs 5 minutes for dps and 2 minutes for supports. 5 minutes for dps and 2 minutes for supports. Tanks now have the longest queue times by far at 8 minutes vs. With Roadhog and D.Va being the only real exceptions. What? Tanking feel a lot better in OW2 than OW1.
