oh wow another one who thinks Twitch Viewers = better game than the ones below well keep living in your dellusional world

Right, the game that just came out is more popular than the games which have been out for years, who would have guessed.

Indicating that this is something that always happens for new games? Pretty sure Borderlands 2 has more peak players than Battleborn does at the moment (on PC at least), so whats your argument there?

That maybe it'll die down soon when people come to realize their bored of it already?

Overwatch didn't do anything close to amazing on twitch back when it was in beta.

I'm still shocked that the tickrate is 20, its fucking appalling.

It was #1 because it was just released, it's already fallen back behind a few other games, hovering around 3 or 4.



You can buy "booster packs" containing up to 50 of the level-up loot crates, allowing you to try your luck at a rare cosmetic item faster.

Note that what you get from the boxes is still random, and everything is obtainable through in-game play.

Try to look at decent times. It doesn't go below 2-3 until late hours when people start going to bed, it's nearly always 1-2. If it was just because of it being new, then it wouldn't have been on the same place during beta. Overwatch isn't going anywhere for a while.

you can set it higher in custom games aparantly, and the client to server is 60, but server to client is 20 for no reason that makes any sense at all.

Well to be fair, it was Blizzard's first attempt at an FPS, so you can't blame them for coming up short. They tried to do things their own way, like competitive play, despite the competitive crowd happy with that way it was. Given that and the current balancing mechanic I don't see Overwatch succeeding as much as their previous IPs.

Thats not excuse.

It is not about better, it is about popular. Then ask yourself WHY is it popular ... because many people like it and so watch it played.

Simple.

Overwatch is extremely popular in Korea, there are many e-sport teams that play the game already, and some tournaments, the game is way better balanced than i'd have thought and has a steep learning curve, even though it's pretty easy to get hands on it, i'm pretty sure the game will be one of the most viewed games on Twitch for several years.

That's what i was wondering, if they have means to take apart console players from PC players, put them on different servers, why won't they make PC servers with 60 tickrate, and console servers with 20 tickrate?

Hearthstone was a massive success doe...
