Three things Overwatch could really use!
If you've played Overwatch then you know how frustrating the game can be sometimes, what's worse is that half of the time this could've been avoided if the game was just a bit different. I talk about three things I think that need to be improved or that could improve the game. But this is just my opinion, I'm not saying that these are facts or that this would make the game perfect.
1. No duplicate heroes on one team.
If there's one thing I hate it's a bunch of losers that need to double up, triple up and sometimes more than half of their team needs to be the same character. Wether that's Bastion, Torbjörn or Junkrat I don't care, it's sad when people have to rely on these characters and it only gets worse when they have more than one of these easy characters. Of course there's nothing wrong with playing as certain characters, eventhough some are seen as incredibly sad and pathetic (for example Torbjörn in a capture match or Bastion in an escort the payload match when you're on the side that attacks), but when you have more of the same character on the same team it just looks like a bunch of try hard babies trying to get a cheap victory.
How do you solve this?
Either there is no way you can have duplicate heroes on one team, so multiple people playing as the same character, or the more people that play as the same character the weaker that character becomes. So if let's say three people play as Bastion on one team then they all have less health, take more damage and do less damage to others. That should motivate people to play as different characters, at least I certainly hope so!
2. Create a ranked match system.
A lot of times I encounter teams that just roll over another team, when you're on the team of less experienced or skilled people then you're in trouble because the more experienced and skilled team will destroy you! This happens quite a lot and it really sucks that the matchmaking doesn't prevent this from happening, because sitting in a match where everyone in your team loses and you just have to wait until you see defeat on your screen isn't fun.
What can you do about this?
From what I've heard there is already something coming into the game to solve this, a new game mode for players that want to play ranked matches. So hopefully this keeps the more experienced and skilled players out of quick matches and keeps the fun in this mode. Unfortunately that doesn't mean that a team of assholes that want a lot of easy victories won't enter quick matches, but hopefully it keeps this to a minimum.
3. Keep teams out of random matches.
Let me explain this. Of course there's nothing wrong with a group of friends playing a game, but it really sucks when you're in a random team and you constantly face a team of friends that works better together and communicates while your team does none of that. Oh sure you can try to communicate with random players but most of them will ignore you and most times just do their own thing. This isn't always a problem when you play against another team of random players but against a solid team you're often screwed. So it would be nice if there's a game mode where there is no way to enter it as a team already but where everyone is randomly mixed into matches. Hopefully this keeps matches more balanced and it might help you make some new friends.
How would this work?
If you play with friends in a team you go into a different matchmaking system than someone who isn't in a team, so that keeps people that are already in a team away from random players and should put teams against eachother and random players against eachother. I think that's more fun for everyone and should make the matches better balanced. Of course certain teams are better than other teams but it's better than team of friends wrecks team of random players ten times in a row. Oh sure that might be fun for the team of friends but the team of random players is having a terrible time and I don't think that's the way to keep people in the game!
Does this solve everything?
Oh no, but hopefully these improvements should make Overwatch a bit more fun for players, wether you're already in a team or not. There are still issues with certain characters like Bastion that can melt anyone who gets in his line of sight. I know some people say you can counter him with other characters but often this still requires teamwork. For example a Genji can deflect the bullets but if a Bastion doesn't fire when you deflect you're still an easy target after the deflection and Phara might be able to shoot rockets from a distance but Bastion can almost snipe you with a high rate of fire. It's not a surprise you see certain characters in almost every match, not just because they're easy to play but also because it's easy killing for the person who plays as them when they face a random team. Because without teamwork certain characters can be a pain in the ass to beat on your own. Unless they're idiots, then it becomes a bit easier. Overwatch is a lot of fun to play but there are several things in the game, that I talked about here, that can be really annoying and frustrating. So if that could be fixed that would make the game almost legendary, well to me at least.
