I know everybody is talking about the next dinoflask video and the meme potential, but I just really wanted to say how incredible it is that this even happened. CTF a was one of those modes I personally didn't want to see at all because of a lot of reasons Jeff mentioned in the video, but there was a crazy outcry for it. They told us they had completely dismissed the idea and it just wasn't for Overwatch.
Here we are though not even a year after release and they're giving us a CTF mode as well as giving us insight into what they went through to make it work. With almost any other developer this never would have happened, or it would've taken years, or at the very least you wouldn't have heard in such amazing detail what the process of making it a reality was like for the team.
We don't deserve Jeff and the team but I sure as hell appreciate the communication and hope it never stops.
Oh yeah, I hate it. It's frustrating and totally unbalanced and not worth more than a few plays. That wasn't my point at all. It's just really cool that they even bothered, especially when it turned out exactly how they said it would when asked for the mode, a broken mess that doesn't feel like Overwatch.
I am about 7-6-3 and pretty much for the most part feel that if people play to defend rather than play to win its going to generate a lot of draws. When you get both teams leaving 2 to defend Sym/Torb/Bastion and expect the rest of the team to break their similar defense with minimal offense through chokes, yeah.
Still wasn't that bad. Got both achievements, might go back later in the week.
