Arcade mode in Overwatch is hell on Earth?
Ok that might be a bit of exaggeration but honestly a lot of people I meet in arcade mode are some of the worst people you can meet in a game. This really makes getting nine wins for your three free loot boxes an unpleasant task that you sometimes would rather skip than go for. But Blizzard seems to think that everything is fine and that arcade mode is perfect this way. But I don't think it's fine at all!
What's so bad about arcade mode?
Do you have a moment? No forget that, if I have to list everything then I'll be typing for hours! Some of the worst things about arcade mode are the cheesers, people that try to get an easy win by using cheese tactics. Which often means they all go as the same character and try to overwhelm the other team. This surprisingly works a lot because a lot of people in arcade mode are people who aren't even ranked, not that this is bad thing but that sometimes means that they're not that good at the game. Which is fine but when you lose ten times in a row and earn no loot boxes for several hours then you get really tired of it. So the first thing that needs to change is the stupid nine wins system, I mentioned this before in a post that I would rather have a play five games for a loot box system. This way everyone can earn loot boxes and people can do whatever they want and not get frustrated with anything. Another thing I would like to see is more game modes because I feel like I'm often forced into the no limit game mode because the other game modes suck. Everytime when there is an event I dive into that game mode because it's often ten times better than anything the other game modes have to offer. Also make it so that rage quitters can't earn loot boxes, hopefully that keeps people in the game and prevents frustrating moments where a match is being cancelled because too many people have left. I think Blizzard tried to create a fun alternative to quick play but arcade mode is becoming a cesspool of sad sacks of shit and it's absolutely no fun to play in arcade mode at all!
Why do you play arcade mode if you hate it so much?
Remember those three free loot boxes? Yeah that's my only reason to dive into arcade mode and pretty much the only thing that keeps me going when I once again hit a losing streak because you keep facing cheesers or some sad douchebags that can only play with their friends while you have a team of randoms. I never rage quit but there are moments where I just want the match to be over, not just because there is no way I'm winning but because it's just so frustrating that spending one more minute in the game just makes you want to punch someone. I don't think this is what arcade mode should be. Arcade mode should be fun care free mode where you can try out new characters and it doesn't matter if you win or lose. But with the current loot box reward system it matters if you win or lose, which then adds the frustration and sad sacks of shit that need to win everything and don't care how they do it. Right now arcade mode isn't fun for people who aren't in a group and just want to earn loot boxes quickly, because there are too many obstacles that are in the way to make it a fun experience. Maybe this is how Blizzard likes to see it, people not making progress too quickly and just keep playing the game. That's fine, but I hope they realize that more and more people will hate the game for it and I would like to see what remains after a year if they keep things as they are. Games are meant to be fun, the moment games stop being fun then you really have to ask yourself why you're still playing that game.
