I’ve played a lot of hours in Overwath, I’ve gone through all the updates, up to the three year pause in the game. And I don’t understand the general anti-hype. Next, I’ll tell you what everyone didn’t pay attention to.
Distribution model
The game has become free! Previously, you paid money to play it and you could say you don’t like this or don’t like that. But now it’s free; anyone who hasn’t joined it before can finally do so!
– but we paid for it. 2k or 1k or cheaper
Answer: that’s how you played it! For a huge number of years, developers have been making great content, but they clearly did not receive enough attention and approval from their superiors. I repeat once again, they balanced the game, they made cards, skins, events. And they made almost no money from it. I’ll explain for those who don’t understand at all, if the bosses don’t get money, then this product makes no sense!
The sacredness of monetization
Battle pass, I haven’t heard such anti-hype about changing the distribution model at all. Russian YouTube – you’re shooting yourself in the foot. Pseudo-experts from class 8B gathered and began to criticize this change. Guys, the game has become free and like pubg and warzone and other free games, the game should earn money differently, see the answer in point 1.
– but I used to get loot containers for each level, but now they force me to buy a pass
Answer: no one is forcing you to do this! The game is free and it’s a different game! Guys, this is a different game! With a different monetization model (very soft for me), with different gameplay and everything else!(more on this later)
Gameplay changes
5 on 5, it radically changed the game. Now there is no dominance of shields that need to be broken through; some tanks have had their shield taken away altogether! The game looks new, plays new! New modes, new characters, changes to old ones. These are very big changes and many thanks to the development team for such a radical change in gameplay.
– but the game has not changed at all, those who played it before will not notice the change!
Answer: you notice changes in Kalda, in Dotka, in Volorant, in XC, in my opinion everyone is hooked. The gameplay does not change radically in these games and it’s good that you don’t need to get acquainted with the basic mechanics! And in Overwath 2 he changed beyond recognition. Now you can’t stand and hold the shield behind Reina, 2 fireball shots, extended acceleration, decreased amount of shield and increased HP + role change, since he is a tank and has his own perks. And so all the tanks have changed! Many DDs have changed more accurately, I can’t say for the healers
Skins
Maybe I’m the only one who noticed, but you were given one skin for each character, they are called Overwath 2. And the decrease in the number of skins, and changes in the model for obtaining them, is only a consequence of the poor and outdated previous distribution model
Conclusion
Overwath 2 is a cool game, and it doesn’t deserve the hate that is pouring on YouTube, next year the story will be released, new characters and the game will finally live again!
The developers even transferred old skins, which is rarely done in games. The game evolves and changes and I love the movement! I hope everything works out for the dilutions and the new game will bring in enough money for its long existence!
And for YouTube haters, play Call of Duty, there are constant changes, new characters, new maps, transfer of progress, general plot. In general, everything is like with people. Bye everyone!
Best comments
From a cool company whose games are polished to a shine, they turned into shit-makers. This is not normal, this is sad.
In LoLa, the game is different, where the absence of some characters will not have any direct impact during the game.
About the content, it is there! https://big-casino.co.uk/bonus/ The changes radically change the tactical aspect of the game! Please give an example when a change in the game was delayed to the second part?
Diablo 2. =)
But seriously, I like this about the last major company that still focuses on users. KS does not have a second part, there were 1 patches.3=>1.6, then switching to another Source engine, and finally adding cosmetics to GO. Now let’s go back to Diablo, if we added several heroes, locations, items, skills… then this is an addon, but if our game has completely changed, then this is really the second/third part. =)
Exactly what? The over has essentially not changed since the first part, it is mediocre even compared to seasonal events, where at least the promised PVE? =)
I don’t understand what kind of complaints about Blizzard as a cool company? Well, it was, well, it stopped, so what?? Nowadays, the coolness of a company determines how many players will pre-order at the start and that’s it.
What’s not so cool is how many people will pre-order your next game, even if it’s Cyberpunk. =)
That’s when it will be then and defend it, but now you’re talking about a game that doesn’t exist yet.
The fact of the matter is that what has come out now is not even worthy of a major update. And in 3 years it should be simply huge.
Citizen, you are confused in your testimony.
Is this a different game, or not a different game??
Monetization, a separate issue. And in any case, the time required to open anything in any FTP is set above the average time that a player spends in the game, so they pay according to any.
Tolsto.
If this isn’t funny, then I feel sorry for you, guy.
Even if the developer makes free play, this does not mean that you can create a bestial system. It is obvious that they raked in and continued to rake in the money on the first part, but did not find the moral right to demand much more. I would like to remind you that
1) New heroes will be available only through BP (what nonsense?)
2) After 3 years of bread and salt in the first over they couldn’t even roll out a PVE
3) Now without donating you have to come to the over as if it were a second job. Yes, even with a donation to have time to open everything.
Well, the most important thing is that nothing prevented you from making these changes (adding BP, PVE, 5v5 and switching to a shareware model) in the original overwatch. So the old people would be more or less happy, and they would gain a new audience. It’s just that all the time it was a question of money, not the opinions of the players, that’s all. Look at what Blizzard has done in recent years and everything will become clear. It’s probably unpleasant when your favorite game gets trashed, but I don’t recommend living in a vacuum either.

In Overwath 2, the absence or presence of characters also does not affect the game, especially the absence of one out of 35! Looks like you haven’t launched Overwath 2. Nowadays, team interaction is more important than characters countering other characters
About Diablo 2… well, it’s seriously a matter of digital?
Pve will be next year, I don’t understand what changes you are talking about? Kolda, FIFA, Pubg, Sims, etc.d. The games have not changed since the first part and the same Fortnite, the game changes, the monetization model changes, but the number 2 does not appear. You don’t need to buy it.
Therefore, I consider the claims to be unfounded!
-The number has changed, let’s start a new game.
-But this is just a big update, with a change in the overall structure of the game. And adding in future PVE
-No, you changed the number, but you could not have changed it. So let’s start a new game
This is what I hear from every YouTuber, including you. Seriously, new number?
Can I then refund/return the first one, I then paid for a paid game with all the consequences and all the available heroes in the future. I wasn’t happy with this transition to a free model back in TF2. Saying this is F2P or “if you don’t like it, don’t play” is the last thing. I like it and play it, but I just think that I can express that I don’t like the direction of the game’s development.
I don’t know what “anti-hype” we’re talking about, but criticism of the boarding school is quite justified.
Here reputation plays against them. These are Bliz, and they supported Diablo 2 servers for free and did not turn off them for more than 20 years. So comparing them with the annual Koldas is nonsense. =)
This is where it’s very important not to add game content to the BP, but these idiots immediately shoved heroes there.
Compared to the transition of the first part to 2-2-2, there is no. =)
Over 2 may not be a bad game, but what came out now was not worth the 3 years of waiting. And then under Kitty’s wing it will only get worse. Although it is unknown what will happen after Phil purchases the company. =)
Here you could write a long comment about which you are wrong, but considering that in the title, post and tags the name of the game that you defend so vehemently is written with an error, then somehow even the point of arguing is lost.
Shouldn’t, 3 years, new number… It’s hard for me to try to explain something when a person doesn’t understand. Y’all don’t pay money for the second part!
Reputation changes and that’s normal,
In BP, the hero is free, and he was given to everyone who had the first part, but in LOL it’s not the same model?
About the content, it is there! The changes radically change the tactical aspect of the game! Please give an example when a change in the game was delayed to the second part? Kolda, CS and other games.
