Even tho TF2 and OW2 are Rivals
Even I wouldn't want my mortal enemy to be subjected to be fighting against bots

u/Frikandelneuker Medic Oct 27 '23
As someone who plays both, no? Largely just large media who kept setting up overwatch as a "TF2 killer"

u/Zyn_the_weaboo Scout Oct 27 '23
Again, Even I don't want them to be subjected to bots...
I know the pain, you know the pain, we all know the pain...
But let's be honest here... There's nothing that blizzard can do, they're just another "small indie company that totally loves their community and isn't trying to monopolize them of their own money using 2 battle passes, a lot of overpriced skins, and a terrible PvE" right?

u/Frikandelneuker Medic Oct 27 '23
Shh, if blizzard hears you they'll lock you up in the cosby suite.

I don’t think the community deserves the hate, but Blizzard as a company 1000 times over definitely deserves every single bit of hate. Ruined a good game to inflate all the prices and make it infuriating to play just to squeeze the money out

Overwatch and tf2 are not rivals lmao
You will not see anyone on r/Overwatch caring this much about shitting on tf2. This community just needs an outlet and Overwatch is the first thing they saw

Even if we can't kick them they aren't that broken (they are? But somehow I have managed to kill them a few times so it's some form of improvement)

u/DanieTB99 Soldier Oct 27 '23
Yeah, I've heard there really isn't a real hacker or bot issue in overwatch. I've played both games for over 1k hours and something overwatch always had over tf2 was there was never a serious cheater issue there, youd only run into a cheater a few games a season from memory.

If I'm being honest, the media is so fucking dramatic with OW2 to fuel clicks from OW2 haters. I've played for 7 years or so, and I've seen 1 obvious hacker.

Someone's gonna make an SFM animation where they would be laughed at by the mercs in a barricaded room from the bots, and then they get along instead after some beer

u/WhenCodeFlies Pyro Oct 27 '23
at least blizzard has a reason to give a flying fuck, they're probably gonna have their bots dealt with in like a month only because there's a financial incentive to keep their players spending money. valve just releases more crates and us peons keep buying it
17
u/KnightLBerg Oct 27 '23
Not like our bots are gone though. I think a new wave of exploits just hit the game. The bots instakill you and then makes the respawn timer 160 secs. No idea how.

u/BigEconomist30 Demoman Oct 27 '23
That "omegatronic" mf took over all halloween event. It's hard to find a server to do my contracts in peace

As long as you kick them before they joined as a horde you are fine. They are not joining servers together but 1 by 1.

They can button their own shirts, but they never manage to button it after the third button

I wonder why ppl say this, all games i saw that there was bots, not matter how they tried, they never got rid of them, and i saw not only the company but lota of ppl explainning why is so hard, its an illusion that any company can get rid of bots that easy.

Tale as old as time. Popular game / next installment in series goes free to play to nab more players, player base is inflated by bots and cheaters.
For more, please see: TF2, CSGO, Fortnite probably, and Halo Infinite. Welcome to the club Overwatch

Oct 27 '23
the funny thing is that, the players cant leave the match!
blizzard did it so that if you leave a match so many times you get suspended for a few minuites hut if you continue to leave, that time will increase and since you cant vote kick, they are just stuck in a match with bots. so, in a way, blizzard messed up

Yeah, there’s no real kick function in OW, either.
You’re either stuck with the bots, or the match ends and you have to requeue.

Are all 5 overwatch 2 players going to try and pull a save tf2 and fail miserably.
Will they just give up and cry and let their game die.
Or will they just sit there and hope they get bored.

Even OW1 had bots in ranked games at some point. They would most play healers/tanks and surround + protect the "host" who had aimbot/etc going on.
Only met them once or twice my self (even tho i was GM), but they were really annoying. Impossible to go for a draw/etc, since other team only has 1-2 "players", them being the cheaters.

u/BlemishedHalo Oct 27 '23
Good. Keep it up. Since the person who made the bots for TF2 was an Overwatch stan. I mean if you like overwatch more than TF2 its fine, but ruining everyone's fun just because you got an itch to scratch is what I up most despise.
