With how Blizzard is handling these issues, Overwatch 2 players are worried that their favourite Hero will be the next to get sidelined. Plenty are already theorising on who is next in line for the temporary chopping block, with Brigitte being the common consensus . She can create an invincible shield with the help of Kiriko – a major exploit that could potentially ruin ga
And of course, it must be said that loot boxes weren't simply disliked because they were annoying. A study in 2021 also stated that loot boxes are "structurally and psychologically akin to gambling", and suggested that a third of players buying loot boxes could be classed as "problem gamblers". However, with this many overwatch 2 Achievements|https://overwatch2tactics.com/ 2 players complaining about the new system put in place, the battle pass hardly seems to be an improvem
As well as missing sure shots, a bug has been discovered that lets Sombra players get inside the payload . This glitch allows you to teleport underneath and get all up inside it. You can still shoot at enemies outside but the payload acts as protective armour making you invincible. Just pop her locator on the track, wait for the payload to roll over it, and voila, push to your heart’s content. Granted, if you do this, you’ll probably end up with a
Blizzard revealed a new Tank class Hero for Overwatch 2 called Ramattra . Giving off Indian God vibes – thanks to the slight resemblance to Shiva and with 'Ram' in his name – his backstory revealed a close relationship with Zenyatta and the Omnic people. He comes with two different forms that can be changed on the fly – the offensive Nemesis form which gives him access to powerful punches, and the defensive Omnic form that gives him a barrier to protect his team. He’ll join the roster on Decembe
Of course, the problem is ours as much as theirs. When I was a kid I tried to move the truck to get Mew. I can’t remember where I heard it. These days though, our access to the internet and sprawling growth of online communities means myths are never formed and secrets are always shared. The Mei bug is not just a gimmick a few kids found that slowly makes its way through groups of friends, but is instantly broadcast by the biggest Overwatch accounts, leading to everyone knowing it, everyone spamming Mei, and Blizzard feeling it has to step
"Remember how fun it was to grind out loot boxes for holiday events?" says Reddit user Lord-Canti. "Like when the Christmas event was going on you'd see everyone running around showing off their new Christmas skins and emotes? It was great but now you just get a measly amount of credits for doing annoying weekly challenges. Overwatch 2 feels so unrewarding to pl
Blizzard has done the impossible - it's got gamers liking loot boxes . No, not because it improved upon the controversial microtransaction, but because it replaced them with something even worse: the Overwatch 2 battle pa
One thing that can happen with exclusively-multiplayer games with short matches is that they can sometimes get a bit repetitive. A good way to counter that is to give them events from time to time, spicing things up a bit and giving players new things to check out. Overwatch 2 is no exception, having quite a few seasonal events spread out throughout the
Mei mains felt a chill down their spines when they learnt that the Hero would be temporarily disabled in Overwatch 2 due to a glitch with her abilities. It seems players were using her Ice Wall ability to reach areas on the map which they shouldn't be able to, kind of like how Sombra players were glitching into the payload. This prompted the dev to disable Mei, but you can expect her back on November
The biggest annoyance for many players is the fact that the only way to earn currency without paying is to complete weekly challenges. One of which involves getting ten team kills - which is actually reduced from the original
Part of the tinkering feels like vanity too. In Horizon Forbidden West , Aloy was too chatty when she was alone , remarking that items will be sent back to storage (somehow?) and repeating the same few lines over and over. People said it was annoying, so it was taken out. But surely they knew it was annoying? Surely part of the point was to make Aloy endearing in this way? I’m sure people think Aloy shutting the hell up is an improvement, but mostly it just feels like fixing something for the sake of it. It doesn’t feel like developers have the license to be creative and eccentric if a few people joking around online is enough for the studio to mandate changing the game. Gaming is becoming more risk averse, not less, in the presence of a constant safety
"I feel like I'm missing out simply because I'm unable to pay up or grind it out with the little free time I have," says int0th3v0id. "It feels so scummy, unrewarding, and unfun. I find myself resentful towards OW for making the game so stressful. I've found myself becoming more toxic because I want to win to complete the challenges, when I used to not care about winni
