This honestly should be brought up in every thread. Blizzard should never let this albatross off their neck.Did they add to the score for Blizzard bending the knee to China?

I think the game is far worse now than it was at its peak?
rght?
You may be on to something regarding debuffs. Right now, the only debuffs in the game are Ana's grenade & Zen's discord orb. On top of being able to better counter supports without directly nerfing their healing potential, various kinds of debuffs could be the way to weaken tanks to prevent GOATS as well as a form of crowd control without needing to resort to stuns or freezing. Someone actually brought it up as an idea for Mei (Chilled being an ability to reduce the damage of opponents hit by her primary fire) with regards to reworking her into a tank.There are other ways to beat GOATS, but Blizz would have to look to other games, which they won't do. League of Legends for example doesn't have this issue. If you picked a GOATS comp there, I'd just pick Trundle (whose unblockable ult steals resistances, making a tank into a useless squishy) and nuke them. But Overwatch doesn't really do that kind of interaction.
I don't think so, because it would destroy a lot of games that get really sneaky post-launch.Do any outlets re-review games that get worse? Or only if they are better? Honest questions.
I think the only time this has ever happened was Polygon's re-review of SimCity 2013, which was right around the time that re-reviews as a concept started to emerge. They initially gave it a 9.5 based purely on a preview build, then dropped it to 8, then to 4.Do any outlets re-review games that get worse? Or only if they are better? Honest questions.
9.4 was an insult to the masterpiece that is Overwatch. There is no other game that deserves 10/10 more.

You are.
I swear this place keeps geeking worse and worse. All this about paid reviews and wrong opinions it feels like fucking gamefaqs. It's embarrassing.
why does it hurt you people that in their opinion overwatch is now a 10/10 game ffs?
The funny part is that when Competitive Open Queue was introduced, GOATS returned.
While the DPS queue times are unfortunate & should be addressed (maybe with 3-2-1 in OW2), Role Queue is the only thing keeping GOATS from coming back.
I think no matter what Blizzard does to balance overwatch, ults will always be the largest issue. The moment to moment gameplay is only a vehicle to the most important goal in Overwatch, which is winning ult economy and deploying them more effectively than your opponent.
And that frustrates a lot of people.
IGN needing to keep the lights on due to lack of E3, and Covid. This will generate clicks. Nothing more...nothing less. Overwatch is still Overwatch. For better for worse. How this shakes out for Overwatch 2 will be the real story. Nothing to debate or see here...move along.
How do you justify this game not being a 10? It's pretty perfect and its continued support is pretty remarkable. Still play it to this day (since launch).

Continued support? Let's not pretend this is anything but business. This was full price at launch on top of what people are paying for MTX. That's why it's still supported. They are not doing a favor here.
Witcher 3 had better support and that's a single player game only without additional revenue.
OW has always had an identity crisis. As a casual TF2 replacement, it's perfect. As a competitive game, it's always had serious issues.How do you justify this game not being a 10? It's pretty perfect and its continued support is pretty remarkable. Still play it to this day (since launch).
I'm not sure about that, the problem I had (and the reason my top 4 played are healers) is because nobody would heal when there wasn't role queues most of the time. It could be anecdotal (4 years worth though...) but I'm thankful I can play a game where there's going to be a tank or a healer guaranteed if I wanted to play damage.
Though it's something I only expected for public qp not competitive, in competitive you'd assume teams would build their composition out appropriately even without role queues but nope, guess not hah!
My biggest peeve really are some of the map designs with horrible choke points, or the spawn room distancing on some maps.
Who thought it was a good idea having the first spawn of a map also being the same location as the last spawn of the map?!
Also good widowmakers, but I hate snipers in every game to be honest ;D
The main issue that facilitated role queue was not really solvable without essentially deleting the GOATS cast from existence (would never happen) or adding more tanks and supports to the roster (would take years).
