Why is the player count dropping so quickly?
Could be that gamers have had their fill?

Death to class role 6v6 games. 12v12 mostly combat classes with supplemental support, at minimum.

It's original player count was entirely due to it being the biggest media franchise of the last 20 years and F2P allowing every marvel fan aka almost literally every zoomer on the planet to check out the game on launch.

It had an overinflated number of normies. At the end of the day it's still a hero shooter and normies still chase every new FOMO trend.

did they ever nerf Luna's ult in any way? support ults are what made me hate the game after getting to higher ranks. Nearly a full minute of no one dying.

The plan to release a new character each month will bite them in the ass, they should have opted for skins like Injustice 2 for characters with similar skillsets/powers

Personally I got bored of it. It has a way better aesthetic than Overshart, but the gameplay also twice as shallow. When coupled with the absolutely garbage 3 healer meta and cheap shit like Spiderman, it becomes a chore to play.

It was like that in the beta too. If you had played overwatch for a long time you could see they were repeating every single core issue OW ever had all at once with no sign of changing trajectory.

I get Netease has access to the OW source code and felt confident since they were able to steal animations and stuff but they don't know how to actually design a game so they copied things beyond their comprehension. If they were smart they would have gone with an OW clone but completely ditched the tank/dps/support roles and had no dedicated healers or healing/support ults.

Hero shooters are not fun. There's always some dude that complains that you gotta switch heroes or you're not doing good enough because you have 0-1 kills compared to everyone's 3-4 kills.

This is just like the crash of '83 when there were too many slop consoles on the market. This time there are too many slop games. The market will even itself out when the corporations and posers check out.

There has to be a way to design a hero shooter to not be designed around cooldowns, and be designed around ammo/a resource instead. Hiding healthbars and increasing movement speed would also be a plus.

it's still pretty aids. I think the only one they nerfed significantly is invisible woman's and even then it's still difficult to kill through

CDs aren't the problem it's the length of them, how much skill they take to use, if they require good positioning and how strong they are. In OW if you get Ana to use sleep dart or Kiriko use suzu you have like 14 fucking seconds to kill them. In Rivals there's like 2 seconds of opportunity to kill supports.

It's not satisfying to play a game that clearly demands so much teamwork in an environment with total strangers who don't even coordinate over voice chat. It's even more unsatisfying to have to fill in for a role that nobody else wants to fill in a game that's ostensibly marketed around playing your favorite characters.

It needs an openly futanari character. It's 2025 for god's sake. It would attract normies' attention too, because they don't really know what a futa is.

Yeah it was called Dirty Bomb. Heroes had their own loadouts but it was a 12v12 game like Battlefield without vehicles. It only had one healer and the other supports just gave utility

Shit like this makes me know players a majority retarded dps shitters.
>duurr is always a stalemate until sup ult
maybe if you asked your tanks to do their jobs and actually push then you wouldn't have this problem.
>t.diamond tank who carries matches hard
the real problem is that they keep nerfing tanks into the ground and leaving dps untouched, and dps do a such an absurd amount of damage that leaves only c&d viable because she can spam heal like no other. I'm still reeling that wolv is getting a buff and fucking life steal of all things. that kind of shit makes me want to drop the game out of spite

Dont forget the Healers are about 10 pixels wide when youre at the safe distance to target them because theyre all the smallest units in the game plus they have CC and insane mobility so the second theyre threatened they can dash, wallrun, double jump, or fly away.

I know someone that has put 600 hours into it post-launch. But... they're a chink. The simple answer is: Non-Chinks have gotten tired of ASSFAGGOTS-F/TPS's. It's a stale genre that flattens the Shooter genre by turduckening ASSFAGGOTS bullshit into it.
