Just when I thought they couldn't fuck Overmeme anymore, they decide to tie a fucking story mode to a seasonal event. It started last year with that Uprising bullshit, and now they added a new mission, and it seems they'll add a new story mission each year, that can only be played in April.

Blizzard will timelock whatever they can. It started with WoW obviously, to milk subscription times. That's why raids have a weekly lock on loot, and every fucking single piece of end game content from drops to quests to even professions (can't have you farming in an MMO, can we?) is locked on a daily timer.
They know it works, so now they need a way to try to rope in as many stupid fucks as they can to their other stuff too. People will stick to Overwatch because of the nature of the game, but now they'll have some big yearly hype (probably spread by shills for the most part) around a "huge story event" to try to get the extra-casuals to get back into it and hopefully drop some shekels while they're there.

They did the same with the entire legion expansion for WoW. You'd hit max level, go through the max level zones story, then it would suddenly just stop. No quests, no hint at anything, no grind to unlock the new quests, it would just randomly stop and just unlock the new quests every few weeks. I quit quickly after that but apparently they did the same with the big ""content"" patches after that with awkward time gating of quest lines for no real reason.

The idea behind weekly lockouts for raids was actually not designed to be a time waster believe it or not. If you've ever raided in vanilla you would know that if you had to do those instances more than once a week your life would be fucking miserable. In order to make those runs as smooth as possible everyone in the raid needs to spend many hours farming consumables. In total each player probably dedicates 6+ hours a week for consumables and 4-6 hours for the raids a week. It's an awful experience just with the weekly lockout because of how tedious and boring MC and BWL are.
Plus the problem you have is solved with ZG and AQ20 being on a 3 day lockout. Those instances are also some of the only fun raids in all of vanilla. 40 man was a mistake.

Blizzard hasn't had a decent game since Warcraft 3 and it's expansion.
WoW was never good, it simply had the potential to be good. And until Wrath, they actually were improving it, but they began cucking all other content for raids and lockouts over and over rather than actually develop the game.

AV was pretty much the only place that approached passable in design. Largely because while unbalanced as fuck one on one, class balance as part of a group was actually done well. Largely because even with a few players you could actually target a weakness in their structure and try to exploit it.
However, that was largely simply be chance. Aside from raid functionality, not a single thing has been improved since Vanilla in any meaningful way.

AV is awful. The concept is nice but what I mean by large scale PvP is ganking guilds that have just finished getting world buffs on their way to BWL. That is some of the most hilarious shit you'll do in any game ever. And there's a lot of strategy and mind games that go into if you're doing it to the same guild week after week. World bosses are kind of fun as well, but they lean more towards the full blown autism side of things after awhile.
There really aren't any good MMORPG's at all. Vanilla/TBC are probably the best, but they are just the best smelling garbage in the dumpster. If early WoW expansions had their source code leaked we could easily see some of the best MMORPG's ever made within a few years. There's so much solid ground work there that competent developers could build on. There's one private server where you drop your gear on death and everyone can kill each other regardless of faction. That shit is actually interesting and. A bit of a clusterfuck since it's just a dinky little WoW private server project, but a window into the possibilities.

The problem is, is that the so-called community is a very loud and outspoken minority; and what the very loud and the outspoken minority unironically think Tracer is the most balanced hero in the game; think that Roadhog and Bastion were broken at launch and would like to know if there is some nonbinary gender fluid furry rabbitkin manbot in the lore more than THE LITERAL GOAL OF THE MAIN ANTAGONIST FACTION thats fucking right; blizz wants you to know that Tracer is gay and that Symm is acoustic more than what the bad guys actually want . It is real fucking achievement for the pleb and pro meta to be more balanced at launch than at 2 years in.
The content is slower than a drip feed, maps are mostly broken; and the good ones get random tweaks for no fucking reason (devs even apparently said that they know how to fix a few but actively refuse to because they like the aesthetics of a map) and certain character clearly get more attention/cosmetics than other because favouritism.

Is there a way to confirm Overcuck's player count? I keep hearing blizz talking about how they have a blazinga active players, but as far as I can tell there's no way to verify that.
The reason I ask is because of fishy shit like timelocked game modes. It doesn't make sense, wouldn't blizz want all of the content to be available at all times to attract new players? The only reason I can think of that you'd timelock and restrict the number of game modes available would be to keep from splitting your playerbase too much, so here's my theory: Overcuck has a really, really small player base. So small that having more than a couple game modes available at any time will split it to the point that it'll be really obvious how few people are playing.
I think blizz correctly assumes that a small player base is more off-putting to potential buyers than limited selection of modes. Blizz needs people to buy into the hype, and not just to push copies but also to keep people interested in their god awful competitive scene.

It's got a mildly interesting lore and a few characters that are neat. If they had been consistently doing story stuff starting from launch, it might have actually kept me invested enough to keep playing the game, but without that added story autism you realize pretty quickly that the base gameplay can be pretty dull. The only fun in the game really comes from trying out whatever new character they released, figuring out all the things you can do with that one guy, and then not booting up the game for another 4 months.

Arena.net did it first with Guild Wars 2. They spent about 2? years doing a living world story crap where the content was only accessible for a few weeks and then would become inaccessible. Permanently. Remember that GW2 was a MMO with a lateral progression system, meaning that content was meant to stay relevant in the future since you'd never really outgear it or outlevel it like in treadmill MMOs such as WoW.

Guild Wars 2 did this on a much larger/more disastrous scale.
For the first couple years after launch, when the game was already horribly starved for content and dev attention in general, they poured the majority of their work hours into their initial "living story" concept, where events happen and reshape the in-game world - except these events, which were often six months or more in the making, were completely removed within 2-4 weeks of implementation.
What's even worse is that the inevitable expansive and experimental dungeon that came along with each major release was often actually quite good, mechanically, art- and reward-wise; but once removed, you were left with only the launch dungeons, which were so buggy and broken that about half of the dungeon content in the game was unplayable and the other half a boring, ugly mess with no worthwhile rewards.

Blizz is responding to a demand for PVE modes in their formerly PVP-only "cant into esports" initiative. This is what it looks like when fans try to reign in a company instead of abandoning it. They'll give in to just about anything their blizzcucks demand as long as the demand is loud and sustained.

Tracer is the balancing anchor of the game. She won't ever be directly nerfed or buffed because the game's balance revolves around her.
Roadhog was imbalanced at launch as there wasn't a reason not to play a 600hp dps with a hook that is hitscan that combos for a one-shot with an immensely lower level of skill required than any other comparable utility in the game.
Bastion is good against bad people.

I don't know of any "press x to kill" ability in the game. The closest thing is Deadeye and that's a fucking garbage ult.
If you don't play it then how would you have any righteous opinion of the game regarding balance?
There is: Payload, hybrid, capture, control, DM, elimination, and the event game modes.
The game modes are time locked because they are to saturate the game mode. The same problem that happens with other games when you leave an obscure mode around for too long, nobody plays it and the people who do want to play it can't without going through hoops. If you actually played multiplayer games with several game modes you'd know this.
The game is designed for that and the devs express extreme concern about it. It's 2018 and we live in a time when people are punished for expressing opinions. Fuck, i'm afraid to speak to women because if I do happen to score with them they might just regret it 9 months later and press rape charges. I don't really blame them but I understand your opinion on that. We're allowed to speak freely here but the rest of the internet and world isn't like that. Don't forget the freedom you're allowed here.

Dance emotes are unlocked through loot boxes you earn through playing, and with enough of the in game currency you can buy the ones you want yourself. getting loot boxes is incredibly easy if you can win. Tracer isn't OP, you're just bad.

Nigger, almost every character has an ultimate that guarantees a kill as long as you aren't a braindead retard. If you ult and don't get at least one kill your team will fucking mock you until matchmaking disbands.

The dev's have never said such outright but the game's design just implies it.
1. Most headshots other than snipers (and Mei for some fucking reason) do less than 150 damage and usually 140. Nothing deals over 150 damage without being a headshot or some kind of telegraphed cooldown ability with the exception of scatter arrow (which is being removed because they decided they'll actually do something with the scraps of a character that is Hanzo) This meaning that Tracer is squishy but the game is specifically designed for her NOT to be one shot by most things in the game. Some notable examples of them removing one shots that would only kill tracer would be:
Genji animation cancel, widow and hanzo 150 damage body shot, reduced zen and mercy damage boosting potential, junkrat mine nerf, pharah self damage buff, and they're just about to nerf zen's ability to alt-fire so his ability to merc tracer is about to drop dramatically. (see graphic provided)
2. When they want to change tracer's presence they will touch EVERYTHING but Tracer herself. This means taking away hero stacking, making a minimum of .75 seconds on point before you can contest, making projectile ults disappear if the caster dies before it resolves, buffing CC abilities like Grav Surge so Tracer is one of the heroes that can't escape it, adding supports that have options against Tracer like Moira and Brigitte.
The only thing they've ever done to tracer is increase her ult cooldown when they were increasing everyone's. That's not really anything specific to her.
3. Tracer is the poster child for the game and was a character created before the game we know as Overwatch was even conceived. In some development commentary of Overwatch they mentioned they were making a game where everyone played a character similar to tracer.
>>14617539
"braindead retard" There are very little braindead retards in the world compared to the amount of people who function normally. Do not speak as if someone is retarded just because they cannot do what you can. You're not making any valid point by exaggerating the stupidity of others. Nothing will be accomplished.
They also changed the way ults work in regards to netcode and added more variables to interrupt and shut down ults. This is also not to mention that ults were slowed down in general and people have learned how to counter play.
If you fuck up Graviton surge people might flame you. Not getting a pick with Deadeye and nobody is gonna be upset. it's a shit ult and the closest thing in the game to "Press X to kill"

McCree's ult is one of the worst because it's almost the only ultimate that doesn't get guaranteed kills out of it, and might even get you killed in the process. 76, Rein, Hanzo, and most of the characters in the game have no excuse at all for not getting at least a single kill when they ult.
>You don't know what you're talking about
I literally played it three days ago for my monthly, "Maybe this game isn't boring anymore" attempt to enjoy my purchase I made forever ago. Spoiler alert, it's the same dull fucking game it was at launch.

most of the dps based ults are easily shut down-id actually argue that playing them is harder than not because you have a giant glowing target on you and anybody who isnt a FNG will shut you down-good example is genji, sure you can get a double kill potentially but if you want to get a team wipe you need to coordinate, time it, and combine it with an ana or something
the toons that are braindead are the left click lock on characters like moira/symmetra/mei/mercy but most of those can be shut down with skill shots or a long range ult (granted sym/mei/moira/mercy have escapes but that furthers the support of the "press X to kill' being invalid)

hanzo's ult is so easily dodged its comical imo
rein's doesnt necessarily give a kill imo because you can shield with any character, stun him if youre half decent, or just not be right infront of him…but to your point if he gets you and his team is with him it could hit you hard (or if he has an ana ulting him)
9962d2 No.14617678
>>14617592
Also, to add to those numbers. Most primary fire abilities in the game are also JUST SHORT of being able to 2-4 shot tracer as well.
Ex: Ana, McCree, Torb do 70 damage per body shot. This is enough to 3 shot every 200 HP hero but low enough to not 2 shot tracer at 150 HP. The numbers for damage in the game are almost universally designed to be JUST short of killing Tracer and being JUST enough to kill her and other squishies with the same amount of hits. Tracer is squishy, but she's perfectly placed in this point of effectively taking just as many hits as other characters despite having 25% less HP.

It actually takes longer to kill someone with 76's ult than it does without. You can't get headshots with the ult, you still have to reload, and you do all of this while you glow and announcing your presence.
Rein's ult got nerfed HARD and is extremely bad now. Earthshatter is now rivaling Deadeye for being the most useless ult.
Hanzo's ult? lol. You're lucky if you get a single kill with it much less multiple without a combo ult.

Once again you dumb nigger you missed the point. PvE is just as important as PvP. If it wasn't, then Mann vs Machine wouldn't be as popular as it was, or Terrorist Hunt, or Firefight, or any other PvE mode.

So the dev has to indefinitely host the particular game mode you want for free despite it taking assets away from other goals?
I'm sorry, why do you deserve to have a server dedicated to your favorite game mode at all times despite not having the developer and community majority support?
Grifball didn't use to be permanent until other gr that were less popular temporary modes got knocked off the totem pole. You're probably a fucking newfag though and don't know where it came from. It was something the devs implemented in matchmaking from time to time but it was something the community could implement with the all purpose servers.
You're equating something done in a relatively sandbox environment to an class based FPS game that has more in common with a MOBA than it's predecessors.
PvE is not just as important as PvP. PvE is pinning a single person against limited AI while PvP is pinning two people against the most sophisticated opponent able to be provided in mass. This LITERALLY doubles the needed requirement of players to engage in the game while simultaneously adding great depth to the game.
You want a PVE Overwatch and that's not what Overwatch is. That's your desire, not the game being bad.
And you are right about the dance emotes. I didn't realize as I have them all but one. I'm not even a completionist or anything I didn't realize. I just win a lot i guess :^) The anniversary will come back around though, just like the others did.
You get 3 guaranteed boxes for the first 3 arcade wins you get each week. You'll level about once or twice doing that so that's about 5 boxes a week. The event is out for about 4 weeks so that's about 20 boxes if you literally just log on to do the arcade boxes. Idk why you'd care about that though if you don't care to play the game enough during the event to get them. I work 40-50 hours a week while commuting and I still have enough time to play it while watching anime too.

Overwatch costs 40 dollars, and that isn't even the cash cow, also, why do you think the little rocket league knockoff is going to take so much money away from the biggest publisher in the business that it would hurt their bottom line in any significant way? They're Activision/Blizzard, like it or not, the money this game makes probably goes in the same pile as Call of Duty's.

Hybrid is just payload but with the added frustration of having to capture a control point before you can escort the payload.
DM and elimination are both imbalanced messes that are unfun to play.
Lucioball and Mei's snowball fight are alright gamemodes because everyone's on equal footing in those, but the CTF mode is absolute cancer, it's extremely imbalanced and encourages a campy tactics, I don't know why the retarded devs decided to go with 2 flag CTF instead of 1 flag CTF.

See the problem is, most of your examples for the press X to kill have a counter thats usually a single ability or just simple awareness
you're also forgetting a pretty key point-these abilities have very long cooldown timers that require you to use them correctly or have the penalty of waiting
another flaw behind your point is that if so many characters have high damage abilities with easy shut downs, its no longer something thats "press X to kill" simply because you know its coming and youre used to it-adjusting your tactics is some pretty 101 fps shit
the only real example of an instant kill low cool down ability is the environmental hazards

She isn't the fucking anchor numbnuts, they legitimately think she is balanced and that a generalist DPS is in any way affected by other heroes balance. Even if she was the anchor for balance, it makes no fucking sense since she is abjectly overpowered; thus trying to balance every hero in the game to her level would make the game a shit TTKfest of 0.01 seconds where every hero has hypermobility, tiny hitboxes and self sustain along with a fast charging instakill ult-and if not that something equally broken to 'balance them to her level'
>Roadhog was imbalanced at launch as there wasn't a reason not to play a 600hp dps with a hook that is hitscan that combos for a one-shot with an immensely lower level of skill required than any other comparable utility in the game
Roadhog's hook was Roadhog. His entire role was to get one kill every 8(?) seconds and be a useless fucking ult charge battery for the other 8.
Couldn't land a hook (especially later on when it became non-shooter sided with fucked interactions instead of just a smaller hitbox)? Fuck you.
Landed it on the half of the cast that could survive it? Fuck you.
Landed it on Ana, Reaper or Mei? Lol ur ded.
Hog's entire role was to punish out of position flankers and believe it or not; when he got snapped in two, Dive immediately assumed control ever since (a meta whose entire plan is to not to care about team positioning and basically just jump on an enemy and burst the enemy down). Shitters whining singlehandedly killed the balance at Masters and above because Tracer, Genji, Winston and DVa now have no direct counters.

If you're saying that roadhog wasn't imbalanced with 600hp and an instant kill potential every 8 seconds and that tracer is, you're just fucking bad and can't use anything to it's effective potential. Roadhog wasn't useless without hook. You're just bad. Here I'll give you the best example of why Roadhog had to be nerfed.
Tracer isn't overpowered. Even statistically she isn't overpowered. She's so used in the highest tier because all mobile heroes are overused there. Tracer, Genji, Winston, and D.va are all picked for mobility and the ability coordinate picks and routes. You wouldn't know that though because you probably don't play even at Masters. Even the pros agree that Dive comp is only used because it synergizes with how the game is designed and not because they're over adjusted.
The only time people deviate from dive comp at this point is if there is a character that is SO OVERTLY OVERADJUSTED that you'd be an idiot not to play them. The most recent example of this would Sombra. They buffed Sombra for about 2 weeks before all of the pros cried "Please, please do not let Sombra come to OWL like this. She will be worse than Mercy." Sombra being a very niche hero, would have to be picked in almost every single game in every single comp because she was so overpowered that not having her when the enemy does is almost a guaranteed loss. THAT is an example of an overpowered hero.
Also, Hog could kill: Ana, Lucio, Mei, Zarya, Reaper, Widow, Symmetra, Reaper, and Sombra is you knew the 90 degree turn tech to bring them closer. Again you probably don't know this.

Not taking away assets if the modes are already done. It’s not hard, just fucking let the options in Custom Games stay instead of removing them from the game after the event ends.
>I'm sorry, why do you deserve to have a server dedicated to your favorite game mode at all times despite not having the developer and community majority support?
Nigger what? Have you seen the amount of Redditors demanding PvE?
>Grifball didn't use to be permanent until other gr that were less popular temporary modes got knocked off the totem pole. You're probably a fucking newfag though and don't know where it came from. It was something the devs implemented in matchmaking from time to time but it was something the community could implement with the all purpose servers.
The Overcuck fanboy has never played Halo 3 it seems. Grifball was a community made gamemode made by Roosterteeth, makers of the Red vs Blue Machinima series. The mode was so popular Bungie decided to make it official. Another popular community gamemode was Infection. Bungie did add it to Halo 3, but it was timelocked to Double XP weekends. But then in Halo Reach it was made permanent, given its own playlist, and had different varients made of it.
>You're equating something done in a relatively sandbox environment to an class based FPS game that has more in common with a MOBA than it's predecessors.
Well, I mean, Team Fortress 2 is class based and doesn’t have a sandbox, yet still has more variety then Overwatch does.
>PvE is not just as important as PvP. PvE is pinning a single person against limited AI while PvP is pinning two people against the most sophisticated opponent able to be provided in mass. This LITERALLY doubles the needed requirement of players to engage in the game while simultaneously adding great depth to the game.
Here’s a list of several big name primarily PvP games that have successful PvE modes
<Halo: Firefight
<Splatoon: Salmon Run
<Team Fortress 2: Mann vs Machine
<Call of Duty: Zombies
<Titanfall: Frontier Defense
<Rainbow Six Siege: Terrorist Hunt
All these games are primarily PvP, yet have just as successful PvE modes for people who don’t wanna play multiplayer all the time.
>You want a PVE Overwatch and that's not what Overwatch is. That's your desire, not the game being bad.
Well, the sheer amount of Reddit cucks that want the Archive missions to be made permanent disagree with you. People have also been glitching vs AI to have more then six AI enemies spawn to give a PvE like feel. Blizztard saw how popular that was so they’re making it a feature. The demand for PvE is there, yet you’re so hellbent on making sure that doesn’t happen. Why? Why do you not want people to have fun?
5dc31e No.14621373
Non-timelocked PvE is not going to happen because the real story mode is going to be a standalone game that you will obviously have to purchase separately.
That's why the graphic novel that was supposed to be a prequel story ended up being cancelled. Same reason why they started hiring devs for a new game immediately after that. also because they realized they are walking on eggshells in regards to their intended character relationships vs. the fandom shipping faggotry, but that's a minor concern in their moneygrubbing scheme

>never played halo 3
I played that shit from it's release to Reach. I know what it is. There were other temporary game modes as well that were phased out because grifball was more popular. Things like Fiesta and Ranked Objective were phased out because they were hosting servers that weren't being used enough to justify them.
Are you unable to read? I said that you're comparing a sandbox environment to a game that's more like a MOBA than a Shooter. READ.
>Have had successful PvE modes
>Halo:Firefight
Im-fucking-plying
>Splatoon: Salmon Run
Time locked????
>Team Fortress 2:Mann vs Machine
it's a free to play game that's available for everyone since it runs like garbage and the game had no matchmaking. This is the kind of audience that wants PvE. They're bad at the game and/or don't have a machine good enough to play on a higher level.
Again, OW is a completely different approach to class based shooters. You have to pay for the game. Everything is on a dedicated server. I understand the comparison but you're saying "This orange isn't an apple so I don't like it." I know most of you guys want another TF2 but Overwatch is not TF2. Stop bitching at them for not making it such.
>Call of Duty: Zombies
This is probably the ONLY valid point you have about this. CoD Zombies are incredibly popular even to this day appealing to casuals and hardcore players alike. Also, probably the only good thing about CoD as well. OW doesn't have a mode that's comparable in depth or design to CoD Zombies though. They don't. CoD zombies is just a better PvE, FPS game mode and Blizzard doesn't have one to compare. That said
OVERWATCH IS A PVP GAME. It didn't start as a pve game.
Idk what those Titanfall or RSS modes are and I'd probably know what they are if they were that successful.
>Reddit wants it though
Um, ok?
I'm not hellbent on it not happening. You guys are hell bent on shitting on Blizzard for not implementing the mode, when it would be a heavy investment, in a game that is already successful for a completely different reason. I'm not against PvE modes or their permanence. I'm against you guys saying "THE DEVS ARE CUCKS AND THIS GAME IS SHIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIT" when you're the one complaining that the game just isn't what YOU like.
People will have fun with what they find to be fun. The idea that fun has to be provided by someone who creates content is retarded. That's the mentality of someone with an incredibly short attention span that contributes to destructive consumerism. Please, don't continue talking about this.
>>14621373
>>14621383
honestly these two are probably the most correct about the whole issue. The OW teams ambitions regarding the standalone aspects of the game were too grand and now they can't follow up on it. The money behind the game is saying "Hey, as long as you don't fuck up the immense community you created we don't give a shit about your game. Just keep selling it as an e-sport and we won't fire you"

Well obviously or they wouldn't even have the god damn Seasonal Events or the Custom Games browser. This isn't a small indie company, this is a multibillion dollar company that is also partners with Activision. PvE is not gonna fuck with the servers dumbass, just like the other modes don't.
>Splatoon: Salmon Run. Time locked????
Sort of. Yes there are times you can't play the mode, but they are only for about 12 hours. Then there's a 24 hour or more period where matchmaking comes back on. it's shitty, but still better then Overwatch locking popular modes to only three weeks per year. Not to mention, Salmon Run can be played anytime in the Shoal (Local play) while Overwatch event modes like Lucioball or the Archive missions can only be played during their events.
>OVERWATCH IS A PVP GAME. It didn't start as a pve game.
Neither did Halo, or Team Fortress, or Splatoon, or Titanfall, or any other FPSs with a PvE mode. Yet they all got them, and the PvE modes are as loved as PvP. PvE provides a break from multiplayer and is a nice change of pace to fight AI enemies instead of other people. So tell me, if Overwatch isn't a PvE game, then why does it have a PvE mode during Halloween, or an event that is straight up a story mode locked to three weeks? After all, it's not a PvE game, yet has so much investment for limited time PvE.
>I'm not hellbent on it not happening. You guys are hell bent on shitting on Blizzard for not implementing the mode, when it would be a heavy investment, in a game that is already successful for a completely different reason.
In other words, you're shilling. The PvE story mode is done. It just needs to be made permanent and not limited to three weeks. And yet, they refuse to just put a button for it in Custom Games, when there is NO REASON to timelock the story mode.
>I'm not against PvE modes or their permanence. I'm against you guys saying "THE DEVS ARE CUCKS AND THIS GAME IS SHIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIT" when you're the one complaining that the game just isn't what YOU like.
And you say I have shitty reading comprehension. If you looked at the posts, they aren't complaints that Blizzard is not focusing on PvE, the complaints are they are making these modes and what are essentially co-op story missions, and locking them to a limited time three week event that only appears every April. I have NEVER met a single game dev that does that.
So please, try to give any reasons at all that justify wasting all this development on story missions and modes that can only be played three weeks a year, instead of making them permanently accessible. Anything other then to push loot box sales.

One, just because a specific character can avoid or counter an instant death ability doesn't mean every character can and two, those specific characters won't always be playable because a teammate has already picked them or changing character would shit up your current team comp.
>you're also forgetting a pretty key point-these abilities have very long cooldown timers that require you to use them correctly or have the penalty of waiting
Hoadhog's hook, Reinhardt's charge, etc, don't have long cooldowns unless you consider below 10 seconds to be long, Mei's primary fire doesn't have a cooldown and ultimates are piss easy to get in this game since just hurting enemies and healing teammates charges them up and none of this ult charge is lost upon death.
>another flaw behind your point is that if so many characters have high damage abilities with easy shut downs, its no longer something thats "press X to kill"
See my first counterargument.
>simply because you know its coming and youre used to it-adjusting your tactics is some pretty 101 fps shit
Just because you know that it's coming doesn't always mean that you're going to be able to avoid it and further more a player with more than 1 braincell will know that they should use their insta-kill abilities when their enemy is most vulnerable.

Not sure if bait; well done if so.
Roadhog
As I previously stated, Hog had one job and was useless outside of it. If you couldn't land hooks, you couldn't play Hog because otherwise you were a standing 600hp battery. I couldn't care less if KunChowWokMan got a sikkk epik montage that one time, I'm sure the same could be done for Torb. Oversimplified descriptions also don't mean fuck shit because:
>Be widow
>Instant kill potential every 1.25 on literally all the cast bar the tanks

>Somehow one of the lowest pickrates at GM in the game until Mercy meta (See the meta report the one patch before Mercy overbuffs)
Tracer isn't statistically overpowered
The 3rd highest DPS in the game outside of standing next to Bastion/Reaper.
Easily the highest level of horizontal mobility (blink is twice as fast as the second fastest ability, Genjidash-then times it by 3) in the game, strong contender for best mobility in the game between Winston, Genji and Sombra.
Tied smallest hitbox in the game with D.Va.
Despite having 150hp, many of the attacks in the game will 3shot her, just like a 200hp hero.
Forgiving spread which allows her to operate easily at 20m before falloff really kicks in.
Has 2 get-out-of-jail-free abilities on constant cooldown, no negatives to usage.
Has an uncounterable ability (outside of hack) which gives her an average healthpool of 200-250hp, 299 if you can minmax it.
Second fastest charging ult in the game outside of Symm.
Ult is a guaranteed kill on anything that isn't a tank; unless you are Zarya or Orisa, inwhich case fuck you. Also has a nice little added blast radius on top.
But what can I say; statistically she is pretty below average. Now Torbjorn-that is one statistically broken hero. And Zen; (3rd most picked hero at GM) clearly known for his overaching mobility; to a lesser extent Rein Ana and McCree too. I mean as you said; mobility is the only reason they are picked so high.
Also, real adult with the >ad homniem.
You're right, I play at Grandmaster
>…would have to be picked in almost every single game in every single comp because she was so overpowered that not having her when the enemy does is almost a guaranteed loss. THAT is an example of an overpowered hero.
>Anything that isn't 90%+ isn't overpowered
>But it's OK for Tracer to have the second highest pickrate in GM
Tracer was a strong pick when she had OldHog and PreMcCree to deal with; and in every season has rose in pickrate as each of her counters were gutted one by one. If you don't think her current team usage of 60% in a cast of 25 heroes and competing in the largest role (DPS) is pretty fucking broke then I have nothing else to say to you. To further substantiate my initial point, at launch Tracer had a higher competitive pickrate at launch than Hog, therefore to imply Hog was broke at launch you would also have to say at minimum that Tracer, Junkrat, Rein and Zarya were even more broken.
Hog could kill x
Honestly speaking, that wasn't my screencap so I'm not going to defend all of it, but I know for a fact Ana was 50/50 immune to hook, Lucio and Reaper did definitely have strange interactions and Zarya was flat out immune to the oneshot. Just reminding you that I don't give a shit about Hook2, I'm talking about launch-state.
At the end of the day Bastion was the bronze shitter filter; Hog was the platinum shitter filter. Take that as an insult if you see fit.

I think the expansion, FROZEN THRONE, was even better. The blood elves and Lich King campaigns were good.
As for Rexxar's pseudo Orc campaign: this is a World of WarCraft prototype and the ending is a Defense of the Ancients map.
And there were so many interesting user-made maps and worlds and stuff made with FT editor.

So apparently there’s a way to grief the new Retribution mission. At the end of the mission enemies stop spawning and to finish the mission you gotta board a dropship. However, if one guy does not board the ship, it doesn’t end, and your teammates can’t do shit. Can’t kick you, can’t shoot you, can’t get out the ship to push you in. They’ll be stuck to the point they’ll have to leave, pissing them off to no end.
