The thing that sets OW apart from the other games where you buy/unlock heroes is that Overwatch is built literally from the ground up around the premise that people switch heroes to counter other heroes mid game, which means that not having all the heroes unlocked is a huge competitive disadvantage for you and your team. before the issue was that your team mate would refuse to switch to (or was bad at) the appropriate counter, but now, potentially, your team mate might also be unable to switch to the appropriate counter. Other games that use a similar system are almost 100% games where you pick a character before the game starts and because characters need to be not auto-losses, are balanced to be more generally viable and to have fewer hard counters.

basically the issue is that overwatch is explicitly balanced and designed around each team having equal access to the hero pool. One team not having access to a bunch of the cast is a huge disadvantage relative to a team with full access. It's bizarre and I can't imagine the design team was on board with it.

Exactly. Heroes are the main way you kill people in that game. Locking a hero behind a battle pass in Overwatch is basically akin to locking the R301 behind a battle pass in Apex. Apex players would be as outraged if they did that as OW players are about heroes getting locked

If they are adding havoc to crafter, that fucker better come with turbocharger. Like when they added hammerpoint to the RE. I like the idea of adding hop ups to crafter weapons, makes them actually worth crafting

you should be able to equip both select fire and turbocharger to that gun. rework the single fire a bit if you have to, it used to be poo poo garbage anyway.

The havoc single fire was them being extremely wary of adding a hitscan gun to a BR. Then like the next season they added the charge rifle and lol lmao the rest is history.

Gun game is a lot of fun, probably more than control, but you are absolutely throwing if you don't run a vert mobility character like Valk/horizon/vantage/path

I got randomed in the gungame mode as Loba because someone picked my character, and her ult doesn't do anything. There's nothing in the shop. Not exactly the most balanced, character wise.

That said I did win that round, so

Gun Game owns and needs to replace arenas entirely. There's new animations for syringes/med kits/shield cells/etc and they look really nice.

What's this heirloom of which you speak?

I don't suppose the game will move to Unreal Engine 5 at any stage in the future? I love the gameplay but the graphics and especially the lighting are very much of the last gen era. Presumably when the Xbox One/PS4 era machines constitute a minute proportion of the systems out there they might switch over?

I think its unlikely due to TF stuff all being source. But honestly who knows

An engine switch is a tremendous amount of work. The only way Apex would ever be on UE5 would be if they made an entirely new game in it.

I was thinking since the mobile version is built in Unreal Engine it might be on the cards. Suppose they could just upgrade the Source engine in future though. As-is it really doesn't tax the new consoles at all.

they did port the entire game to unreal engine 4 for the mobile version :v: e;fb

that was to open up the game to a new market though, the port will pay for itself

The mobile version may as well be an entirely different game, and it was made by a different developer studio entirely.

Yeah not to be a whiner (i need to get gooder) but it feels like I'm constantly doing like 90% of the work only for someone else (Teammate or otherwise) to come along and lightly graze them for a kill.

If it's your teammate, that's the same progress. Even better if you have a good gun and you feed them past a poor one.

It should really speed up your shield Regen if you kill someone.

Kinda sucks getting a fight win and then knowing you're hosed because 8 enemies just heard you win and know you're a free upgrade.

I found it hilarious yesterday how long some teams spend not winning the game after getting to the knife, which is basically just a higher damage Bocek, but it's perhaps an acquired taste.

So this has only happened on Skulltown so far, but I've had it where I spawned in front of an enemy team, away from my own.

Unsurprisingly, that team gets a free level up.
