that tanks are now basically super-dps is very funny to me

it does however sound much more fun than the previous state of the game

Is that actually good? I hear positive things about it but it's counterbalanced with people saying the process to unlock Mechs is awful and slow

The fundamentals are very strong but every criticism you've heard of gundam's monetization is true; there's some bafflingly bad decisions in there.

Which is a shame because it turns out that making a class-based shooter where every class is a DPS on roughly even ground with each other works really well. And every suit has a boost dash on a short cooldown so the gameplay always feels fast.

(I do mean roughly when I say that, however.)

Got carried hard by DPS moira last game. She was also the saltiest player in the lobby.

i wish every single hero in the game had a mobility skill. zenyatta and ana feel like they don't belong in the same game as moira and sojourn. at least give them wall run or let zenyatta levitate a bit or something

yeah gundam has the right idea there, imo. everybody can dash, sprint, and hover. some suits can do more than that. you can still get caught out if you run out of your mobility resource but it always feels like you have an escape option if your reflexes are fast enough.

"nobody even cares about the PvE campaign mode" (cancels mode)

I know I mentioned this elsewhere, but there's actually a large but quietly passionate contingent of CoD fans who play for the campaigns. There's even fans of the characters. They're a different kind of fan from the sort of person who only cares about getting their sweat out for Warzone but they exist, they still spend money, and they stay engaged for as long if not moreso.

Just because they're not aggressively targeted for monetization by people trying to please shareholders doesn't mean they don't exist, and in fact the people who don't believe they exist are falling into the same short-sighted fallacies the suits are.

It's definitely not hyper over-analysis when they're doing it. It's just an honest read from the perspective of people who used to play at a serious level.

Yo I hate to break this to you man but only chronically online people think this way. I know lots of people who play OW, casually but regularly. In a rotation of games with friends. Most peoples reaction to the PvE news was indifference or mild disappointment. They all just keep playing, and having fun. People don't buy cosmetics expecting that to fund some amazing future product, they buy them because they go "oh, I play a lot of Kiriko, and that Kiriko skin looks awsome!". To most people $15-20 is perfectly normal and acceptable for a skin. If a game bothers you this much maybe you should just move on? Lots of us out here just play the game regularly and have fun doing it. When I get tired of it, I play other games for a bit, then I come back when I feel like playing it again. That's how like 99% of people interact with Overwatch.

Yo I hate to break this to you but this is survivor bias in action, OW2 numbers are a pale shadow of what OW once was and you're just hanging it with people who kept playing.

Not saying your experiences aren't valid, just that they're definitely not common, much less universal.

I remember years ago when some kid got in trouble at school for calling another kid a "hanzo main"

Like the faculty didn't know what it meant but knew from context it was severe enough insult to warrant putting the kid in detention
