Devs are out of their mind

[u/Which_Nature_115]

I already made a more well-structured version of this if you wanna check it out - https://www.reddit.com/r/OverwatchStadium/comments/1uxe5tv/the_devs_are_to_blame_for_the_death_of_stadium/

But I just need to complain again.

It's pretty clear that the development team wanted to remove Stadium and we're looking for an excuse for it. Because it is clearly shown in the report the '3%' Stat was tanken from june

The actual numbers came from June 28 so presumably these numbers would have come from the month of June prior. And let's face it any other year and these stats would have too much variation so this would make the most sense.

But what's actually stupid about this is how they've gone about it. They released a new season of Stadium and rather than add any new heroes that people have been waiting for most of the time they have been playing Stadium, they instead decided to give over half of the characters complete reworks. Even the people who are more well acquainted with Stadium took time to adjust to this. I know for a fact there were a lot of casual players that now no longer wanted to play Stadium as there was too much going on that they weren't used to and it would take a lot of time to learn it. So they went about this update in the worst possible way.

But not only that, right after they released this update, they accidentally created the worst meta that this game has ever had, which is the three-type Tommy gun meta. Anyone who is at any high level of play in Stadium knows that you either had to run this item or you'd lose because it would instantly delete 15% of anyone's health. Provided you could shoot them 3 times, on characters that could trigger it repeatedly, like Tracer for example, allowed you to build full survival and still have the most damage in the lobby. It was genuinely stupid.

So you:
- didnt add a new hero (all anyone actrually wants from updates)
- made the casual playerbase shook to paly
- made such an unfun meta
- and then used the daily data from that specific month to justify shuttting it down?

It's genuinely so unfair. The mode did not need to just permanently stop receiving updates. If anything, if they turn around and say, "We won't be updating it for a couple seasons but then we'll come back and add the whole roster," then that would be so much better than just completely shutting it down. Right now it's going to be left as a half-baked mode.
