      Ian! I actually know for a fact that these skins were going to be in the shop! Because day 1 the shop was majorly bugged.
      After I purchased the cardboard mega bundle it disappeared from the shop and the Norse mega bundle took its place. I was able to purchase the Norse mythology mega bundle and when I purchased that the widow cas mega bundle showed up in the shop I didn't purchase it cause I dont play cass and widow but it was on my page. The very next day my shop was supper bugged the widow cass skins disappeared from my shop and every time I tried to scroll down it would force me to the bottom. And I know others had the same issue. Blizzard refused to talk about it and no content creator has talked about the shop bug. But I was there I saw it and I am using Loki Sombra as my forever skin right now.

      Venture was supposed to get their legendary skin last season but it got pushed to this season. Probably wanted ATLA to come out after Rivals. Plus it coincided with 6v6 to pull in old players/people enjoying 6v6 in Rivals

      ​@@nurikkulanbaev3628Marvel rivals are giving away free skins, made the battle pass 5 dollars, have 0 loot boxes or predatory monetization practices such as: Locking heroes behind a harsh grind to unlock/payable currencies, loot boxes, impossible to unlock skins without paying money for a specific currency and temporary battle passes which forces people to grind and play a specific game to unlock each tier.
      How is this not "caring" about the fan base?
      They're literally losing money for not being predatory (similar to Apex, Call of duty, Overwatch, Dead by daylight, Valorant etc)
      These games basically force you to pay money for the bare minimum. Literally half the game is LOCKED behind a fake grind to "unlock" characters.
      Marval rivals threw that ideology out and decided to give the people what they want. A game. No grind necessary! That's sick!

    This video made me realize that I had fallen out of love with overwatch. It really feels like a toxic relationship where im being treated terribly but stick around because of familiarity and the bare minimum amount of attention. Marvel rivals though is so different.
    It’s got familiar characters so it isn’t completely foreign to me, it’s got skins you can actually see that they know they’re fan base would love, it’s got easy to learn heroes with high skill ceilings so it’s fun to play at all skill levels, a battlepass system that allows you to come back and complete them even after a season ends, and they have amazing potential (one that I don’t see in overwatch anymore).
    I do hope this lights a fire under overwatch so they start actually listening to the community and GENUINELY improving the game, sticking to promises. But as of right now, I have been let down far too many times by overwatch since really the release of echo. That was almost five years ago, and still i waited for them to do better. But after content droughts, pre selling a PvE mode that never got released, releasing a watered down (one time only apparently) PvE event that was similar to other PvE events in the past yet charging for it, blizzard scandals, and frankly just being bored of the same thing over and over, I think it’s time for me to be done with overwatch. At least until they can find some way to make the game better, but I doubt it, ive gotten my hopes up too many time for that game

    I can say that so far, 6v6 has definitely been more fun than 5v5, straight up. My problem is I'm tired of waiting, it feels like everything with OW moves in slow motion, promises made seasons before they will be realized. 6v6 is being treated as an "experimental" LTM, which means it has an end date, then what? How long after the test run until we just get 6v6 back for good?
    I think Blizzard underestimated Rivals upon its launch, and only months before its release did they finally start budging on the 6v6 conundrum. Thing is Rivals is already here and it's kicking ass, quite frankly Blizzard need to drop 5v5 and commit to 6v6, the quicker the better. OW's identity crisis is at an all time high, is it a purely competitive game or casual, is it 5v5 or 6v6? For me I'm done settling for something I feel could and SHOULD be so much more fun, Marvel Rivals currently knows what kind of game it is and until OW figures out what it is, I just don't see much point in playing it anymore.

    Skins will not be enough to bring back their old player base. Even watching this gameplay in the video it’s just so boring compared to marvel rivals. I think it is the nail in the coffin. Marvel rivals has so much more to offer.

    I don't think Overwatch will fall off but they need to make a lot of good long term decisions in order to win back trust. They've broken player trust over and over again over the years and they need to course correct. Ultimately I'm one of those people that felt slighted by them and will stick with Marvel Rivals for the forseeable future, but I'm willing to give them a chance in a year or two if they truly change for the better

    Having been a fan of Overwatch 1, it’s disappointing to see how the game has changed. Playing Overwatch 2 feels like being in a toxic relationship-promised happiness and excitement, only to be let down and hurt. It’s as if they expect gratitude despite the frustration they cause. Honestly, at this point, I’d rather side with the competition than keep dealing with the disappointment. Of course, that’s just one person’s perspective.

    this guy hella glazing the skins in the winter wonderland were asswater, the best ones are in bundles you have to pay 44$+ dollars for, the battlepass was trash with only 2 ok skins with tier 70 clearly set up for the mauga skin that they changed last second to that plain cassidy skin, the avatar bundle has some of the worst pricing to come out 57$ with 3 of the skins being so basic it hurts and all that topped off by yet another use rereleasing old overwatch 1 skins at sky high prices if this is there panic mod they just went from lvl 10 greed to lvl 9 lets not praise a horse who can run when most can.

    oh this is without a doubt them responding to marvel rivals and how they are allowing players to earn character's skins and stuff like that from playing. if blizzard really cared about their player base, they would give us the option to use our overly stocked ow1 credits on older shop skins like the cyberpunk hanzo and widowmaker. but, they don't really care about the player base or what we really want. so, yeah. ... this is them in panic mode and i love it. maybe it will make them wise up and start going back to this every new event or new season.

  • @Latoko
    @Latoko 2 วันที่ผ่านมา +1

    The problem with what Overwatch is doing is that free skins cannot patch the problems with the game. They won't make people want to stay with a game just because they're model is different. Blizzard really needs to begin updating the game and listening to the community in order to be able to compete with Marvel Rivals.
