Shame it has an egregious monetisation system
I wonder how many players already deinstalled it.
25 Million players speak very little as the game is currently in a very bad position with extremely unbalanced heroes, not to mention majority of the tanks outperform every damage dealer in the game so far.Hopefully Blizzard can fix the damage before the players run away because majority of my friends so far played few games and decided it was not worth it to continue playing.
Been booted from the server a few times in comp thus losing some rank so kinda miffed about that but eh, Enjoying playing with friends in QP and custom 5v5's when enough people are around. It's good fun.
25millions aka "we count every player that logged once per 4 months for 10 seconds". Queues are faster but still nowhere near the first year of OW
and still it takes 10 minutes queue for a single ranked
Aaaand yep.. people still only complain in the comment section. π Thanks Blizz for all the amazing games you develop for us, this one even for free.. take it or leave it but spare us the runt.
It's a really good game. The changes they made to pvp don't seem that big but they actually make the game even more fun than before and it's only gonna get better when pve gets added. Also I like it's finally f2p, it should have always been f2p imo, so many new players finally giving it a try.
They're not fooling most of the players with these announcements, though.It's the same with when they added the Mercenary Mode to Hearthstone and made a big deal about players being able to get a WoW rat-mount for playing the bare minimum, or more recently when they added that WoW Retail mount for doing the DK intro questline on Wrath Classic.They get to say "we got X millions of players!" but they don't say "however a huge percent of these players aren't going to stay long term, we only tricked them to come to artificially bump our stats for the investors".Overwatch 2 has been in development-hell for years. Most people were immediately able to tell it looked like a big 2.0 patch instead of a sequel. Then there's the monetization schemes...I'm personally going to stay as far as I can from Overwatch 2, and I'm not hearing anything both good and honest about that game. Everybody I know who played it are like "nope, I don't like it, I'm uninstalling".
well its a f2p game so anyone who mihgt want to test it will login ! The question is how many stick around not how many logged in !
And how much was the peak number of accounts while the game existed? What is the point of comparing the launch of a new B2P game with what is effectively the update of an existing and fairly well known game? What I'd consider reasonable is to see what % of existing accounts the new launch managed to get to log back in and how many new accounts were created.
I jumped in, saw how a 1 tank system makes support way worse to play (my fav hero Zen in particular) and I uninstalledSo that's - 1 for startersIf ppl love it cool, but the change is a big negative in my book
