Overwatch Complaint Box
General complaints about the oh-so perfect Overwatch.

My main 2? Microtransactions and the obvious TF2 ripoffs. Both of these things annoy me to the point of sometimes actively avoiding playing the game because of how obnoxious they are. I know I'll catch a ton of heat for giving my honest opinion, but that's just the way it is. As a game in and of itself, it's pretty fun.

Well all maps and characters are going to always be free so the only possible way you would spend money in-game would be out of sheer laziness, OR somebody is just so bad at the game, that they can't possibly level up consistently and get free boxes.

Also only 2 characters in the game are even remotely TF2 based, the medic and the engineer, thats it *shrugs*

It's still psychological warfare on the player.

...and sniper, and huntsman sniper, and demoman, and demoknight.

The snipers are pushing it, literally every class based game has a sniper of some kind. Also who the heck is the demoknight?

Reinhardt. Basically fulfills the same purpose but with some defensive capability added on. But I mean, the sniper has charged shots based on scope time. C'mon.

Yes because only one game is ever allowed to use a certain mechanic.

Not saying that, it's just so blatant in so many areas and lazy.

Lazy?..... Ehhhh not really

The game that became Overwatch was being worked on for years and years secretly under the codename of a game that people thought was going to be Blizzards next big MMO. This knowledge had been know for almost 4 years. They didn't jerk this out over a single season like every COD

And on the other end, woopie 2-3 characters are kinda like TF2 ones, well you've got another like 19 that have nothing to do with TF2

Honestly if you are letting this bother you so much to the point of actively avoiding to play, then I'd recommend finding another game to play and to ignore it. Sorry that you wasted 40$

Also not every game can made up of completely original ideas that have never been seen before. It's a similar type of game so of course there is some overlap, But Overwatch has more different then it has the same.

I'm not saying that. I'm saying it's enough to the point that it's bothersome.
