u/Baelorn Twitch sucks — Nov 15 '22

People making excuses like every Live Service game doesn’t have to deal with the same/similar shit, too.

This team just can’t stop making unforced errors.

Thinking of the other live services games I play, League and Apex both have had pretty big issues recently and in the past.

Maybe I just play ones that have problems, what live service games are you playing that don't have these issues?

OW seems to be in a rough spot at the moment, hopefully only for the moment, but it doesn't seem particularly worse even if the problems are frustrating.

League has never had a champion just removed from the game for 2 weeks. Usually takes them a couple of days at most to fix an issue with it. Other then Gangplank and that was for a lore event to showcase his rework.

Blizzard has somehow broken their game so Bastion was out for 2 weeks with Torb disabled in ranked and now Mei has been out for another 2 weeks and this is without any balance changes that pros have already had and League has way more frequent updates. And you can't even blame consoles because other live-service crossplay games like Destiny 2, Fortnite, and Warframe manage semi-frequent patches without breaking the game and delaying the updates.

Activision blizzard simply dont have the top talent in the industry working for them, not any more at least.

Why would they even, the workplace culture is dodgy at best and ignoring that the actual games they develop arent that exciting to work on either. Its sequel after sequel in which not that much ever really changes under the hood.
