Are there other hobbyists that literally go out of their way to shoot themselves in the foot every chance they get? It's legit baffling.

    That's fucking glorious. Overwatch really was something special and somehow blizzard is incompetent enough to have completely killed it.

      God imagine how good Overwatch mechanics would go with Left 4 Dead -style campaigns. Since balance doesn't matter as much in PvE they could go hog wild with character abilities and make something truly special, but alas that wouldn't print money the way endless skins for PvP does.

          Deep rock is good but man I'd appreciate a similar game that isn't completely dark. I basically only play scout because the other classes flares annoy me so much lol

                  Imagine killing enemies instead of just getting every resource needed in the game with your trusty ol grapple

                      There used to be a time where scout was the best offensive class but now they don't feel as good tbh. Maybe if I lucked into more overclocks for them

                        Oh they're fantastic at single-target even now, if not the best then very competitive with gunner.

                        I just can't turn down the offer of big flashy DoT + terrain destruction

            Apparently Left for Dead still have a huge daily player count. I'm trying to think of other horde shooters that aren't really dark but they're kinda all really dark - Darktide, Aliens:Fireteam Elite, GTFO, all take place in dark environemnts.

            Warframe can be pretty colorful and fun, but it's also monetization hell and extremely grindy.

            You could try Helldivers. It's old, but it's in a good place. THe playerbase is small but it's there, and the gameplay is excellent. It really rewards thinking on your toes and cooperating with your team.

              I played Helldivers when it came out I'm very surprised it actually seems to have blown up.

          Yeah there are a few games that have done that idea, but it sure would be nice if Overwatch 2 was one of them :shrug-outta-hecks:
