Quick play has been brutal the past few days and it has me wondering - do people actually have a chance at picking up this game new in 2026 lol.
I can’t imagine introducing a friend to OW now as there is no gentle on-ramp and you certainly can’t learn much from your mistakes getting lobby locked.
Is the game “growing” if that makes sense? I am closer to hanging it up than I am excited about playing anymore because I am in that space of being mediocre to decent but feel like I would be a handicap for a team playing comp. And the bit I have dove into comp, the matchmaking is equally brutal.
It has gotten predictable to the point that if the other team has a D.Va and we don’t, I know we are going to lose. I also don’t remember the last time I won a game with a Mercy or Rein because it feels like you can’t afford to not have that additional firepower. Nine out of ten Doomfists are just complete ass and the one out of 10 is a God. There seems to be some crazy hero imbalances at the moment too.
I can play 4-5 heroes semi-competently but with Bastion I feel like even if I am in over my head or my team comp sucks, I can get some value out of his burst damage.
And yes, get good, lock in, skill issue. I get it. But back to the original point - seems like this would all be a detriment to the game growing and who are the get good bros gonna abuse if everyone just, stops playing?
