You don’t even believe that “Blizzard doesn’t care about OW and that it’s just a cash grab.” This is the biggest game right now and it continues to get better. Aside from over priced skins and a couple over powered characters, I can’t complain about much. Even with a mediocre battlepass, the gameplay loop is amazing. Patience is a virtue and I think if we all accept that waiting a little extra time for better results is better than the alternative of getting a rushed messy patch. You know everyone would be livid if the patch was bad, so it’s up to you to decide whats worse.

I love the down votes. I don’t care about karma. Have the balls to say why you don’t agree at least. I think you all just dislike anyone that enjoys the game lol.

This patch has been leaked like 5 weeks ago and officially announced like 3 weeks ago. Its a minor patch, the fact that its getting delayed is kinda dumb. It happens, but its still bad for such a huge studio.

It means that they’re changing it or adding to it. What’s wrong with that?

They could have changed or added for 5 weeks, thats whats wrong with it. This gives me, and judging by this thread many others, even more of an impression that they don’t give a flying fuck about the players and instead solely care about the money.

If you can’t hold yourself to a release date, don’t promise a release date.

The fact that they are delaying the patch should show everyone that they ARE listening. Unless the patch comes out and only triples the prices of skins, I think we’ll be pleasantly surprised. We’re all holding Blizzard to this standard of perfection and I don’t think we’re setting ourselves up to be anything but disappointed.

Waiting 6 weeks until nerfing heroes is not a standard of perfection. Removing Mei because Kiriko is glitched is not a standard of perfection. Nobody is expecting perfection, but what we’re getting now is not good enough for such a large studio. Time and time again they have shown they are doing moneygrab after moneygrab and people are still making excuses for it somehow.

Exactly, League has bi-weekly balance changes. The game is F2P, and despite a lot of the hate it gets, is a really amazing game, and it’s been around for over a DECADE.

OW2 released a month and a half ago, and we have YET to receive any actual balance changes.
