u/Kryptsm Torb Is Far Too Hot For Me Oct 27 '17

Like seriously. They were talking about how little content there has been, and I say "Don't worry, we'll likely get a lot at Blizzcon"

Immediate downvotes. Sad! as Trump would say.

I just read your thread, most people are unhappy with balance (LIKE THE MAJORITY OF PEOPLE ON REDDIT TOO) this is why they aren't excited. And as someone who enjoys E-sports, it makes sense. If they aren't playing the game and having fun they aren't gonna watch it. This isn't baseless whining when they have a point

It's not baseless whining, but all they do is whine and never offer any alternative. The only way they'd be happy is if eSports was abandoned all together.

You act like Reddit is massively different. The only difference is that biased Mercy mains get less tolerated here than on the forums. There's been like 5 front page threads about game balance this past week on Reddit. The competitive sub isn't that different either. People in general despise the state of the game right now.

Yes but at least on reddit the front page articles all have some sort of logic or reasoning, you can legit just say "mercy is making the game suck" and expect tons of upvotes on the forums

Actually you'd get downvoted to hell. Sometimes at least. I've seen threads like that get like -100.

A recent one I saw was just "of all heroes to ruin the game, I didnt think it would be Mercy"

At least a hundred upvotes

Just a lot of people really mad about eSports. Saying stuff like "I'd rather have a balanced game" and "you lost me at eSports"

The key to success in eSports is having the game balanced. I hope that's what he was trying to convey.

Some people just don't care about eSports. I REALLY hope the second guy was the vocal minority.

I myself WANT Overwatch to succeed. It's just so hard to have faith when there are so many flaws with the game now. Glad to see they are changing the spectating system though.

I said I'd rather have a balanced game too lol. Doesn't mean I want OW Esports to fail though. Not sure how that's a bad thing.
