I miss the Overwatch hysteria of 2016/2017 back when literally everyone was playing this shit.

This franchise's fate was sealed as soon as hero stacking was banned in casual matches.

I never realized how so many cosplayers are manlets. The proportions of these people are kinda yikes.

I like how the 2 Mei cosplayers kneeling are just fat chicks wearing normal blue clothes

>>716176463
>he cant win without using OP team builds

Blizz fumbled the bag so hard. Imagine if they spent $100 mil on making a TV series instead of ultimately losing money with esports

Yeah but what about esports? Don't you think we should balance the game around esports?
Surely games should be designed around the 0.5% of people who autisticly find the most optimized way to play, right?

>back when literally everyone was playing this shit.
i never played this shit, and a lot of other people never played it either

>>716176489
The one on the left can get it.

>What's that, a popular game played by tens of millions of people?
>heh... I'm pretty different. I actually NEVER played that normie trash.

>>716176642
Yeah, would have been a great show

>>716176710
I didn't play it either. I liked the shorts and porn though. Would have loved it if they made a movie. But all that esports stuff made the game look too serious.

>>716176463
This. That open beta and the first few months after launch were incredible. Then everything became gay, you werent allowed to run whatever team you wanted, Kaplan left. That heyday of open/launch Overwatch is never coming back. Probably the greatest online gaming experience of the past 10 years, RIP. i havent fired up the game since like 2018. Absolutely stellar porn at least.

>>716176642
This. Overwatch looks like some Walt Disney animation shite, that normies eat up, so it’d do well

Need those two Mei cosplayers to report to my room IMMEDIATELY.

I went to a con in 2018 where there was this conslut cosplaying as witch mercy. I can still vividly picture her asscheeks sticking out from underneath her definitely not game accurate outfit. I followed her around the floor for a bit and just watched her ass jiggle then went to a bathroom and jerked off. I regret not taking a creepshot to this day.

>>716176340 (OP)
the only way to bring back overwatch's success even beyond this peak is if they turn it in a dating sim h-game.

>>716176691
Surely.

as someone who is autistic can someone explain the appeal of cosplaying and then meeting up socially with strangers?

>>716178418
At best, it's a way to meet up with fellow fans and demonstrate your collective passion. At worst, it's a socially acceptable way to dress like a slut in public.

>>716178418
This >>716178683 and the after orgies/gangbangs are fun.

>>716176691
god i fucking hate esports. killed every fun multiplayer.

>>716178418
Ex-cosplayer here. A lot of them have varying levels of histrionic personality disorder. It’s the same reason a lot of people get into streaming/vtubing. Cosplay is one of those things that can give you a ticket to instant fame if your cosplay goes viral. Like that one faggot Joker cosplayer. Or Jessica Nigri’s pikachu cosplay. Basically one photo can turn you into an internet celebrity and you can springboard that into other online ventures, some that can make money. Or at the very least get you internet famous.

>>716178418
Cosplayers are also typically very autistic. They're the type of autists who are very loud and don't understand social norms, which can make them come across as confident when in reality they're just as clueless as any other aspie. They still struggle with socializing and striking up conversations with new people. Cosplay serves to bridge that social gap letting you walk around essentially wearing a giant sign that says "I LIKE THIS GAME/MOVIE/ANIME, PLEASE TALK TO ME IF YOU ALSO LIKE IT".

>>716178683
You forgot in the modern age half the people are trying to sell themselves as models, influencers, or onlyfans. I got so many cosplayer cards the last con I went to.

>>716178953
I don't get why people want fame, is it so fun to constantly have to stop to talk with people because they recognize you? I already fucking hate it when I run into a person i know from high school or some shit in the grocery store.

>>716178953
>Cosplay is one of those things that can give you a ticket to instant fame if your cosplay goes viral
Not really true anymore. Cosplay has become too widespread and it's become virtually inseparable from porn at this point. The majority of "famous" cosplayers online are just onlyfans girls wearing spandex from china printed with something that loosely resembles a character's costume.
>Or Jessica Nigri’s pikachu cosplay
Case in point, remember when Jessica Nigri used to be the biggest name in cosplay? It's because she was the most prolific fab bait cosplayer. If you wanted to jerk off to a specific character you had to hope that either A) there was actually decent hand drawn porn of that character online and not weird DeviantArt fetish shit, or B) that someone (likely Jessica Nigri) had done a photoshoot as that character. Nowadays you can google virtually any remotely popular female character from any series and find at least a handful of girls cosplaying her and probably a porn video too.

It adds to your value as a human being. Look at a guy like Ed Sheeran. If it wasn’t for his musical abilities and the fame and money that comes with it women would probably roll their eyes and call him a chubby incel. But because he’s rich and famous most women would kill to date him. Fame is like social currency. It gets you shit you normally wouldn’t have access to.

>>716179051
>caring about social norms
Oh look, its npc, just like in my vidogames.

>>716176340 (OP)
overwatch was never good. All it had was the novelty of being new and porn

>>716176340 (OP)
People got tryhard and then it turned out that the game isn't fun when you're playing it with tryhards, and since Blizzard can't balance for shit, it never recovered.

>>716176340 (OP)
Overwatch? More like Overweight.

>>716176340 (OP)
>got hooked on release
>had to stop playing for a month due to business travel
>genji got his extra jump removed during my travel
>lost all interest
Glad I quit when I did because they ended up pozzing the fuck out of the game.

>>716176340 (OP)
I don't. I've hated Blizzard since the WoW days.

>>716177539
lel

I'd love to know which alien or what kind of demon hell entity started making everything bad after 2017 cause he needs to stop
