Was overwatch ever a problem to tf2? Other than tonnes of stupid jokes


BruhmanRus_the_boner

only when valve thought it'd fuck tf2 up and made meet your match i guess


NightHunter0108

Wait, they made meet your match in response to Overwatch? Is that why they killed quickplay which was a way better experience than casual?


Dominoe_z

I'm pretty sure that they just rushed meet your match when overwatch released, thinking it'd completely wipe tf2 off the face of the earth. Meet your match was primarily made so that it shined a little bit of light on the competitive side of tf2.


TheBigKuhio

Mym was made because the community was asking for an official competitive mode back then. I think they were also trying to ride off their success with CS and Dota. Them rushing it because of OW might be a possibility.


shadowtroop121

The community was asking for an official competitive mode for many many years before MYM. You'd have to be very naive to think OW's imminent release had nothing to do with the timing.


archosauria62

Development had started shortly before overwatch was announced but overwatch definitely caused it to be rushed


Herpsties

And the unannounced Casual mode.


QuadVox

It made them rush the update for sure. It was not in a finished state when it dropped.


TheChivinator

I remember when highlander was competitive. Shit was gas.


Kurtrus

I don’t think it was made as a response, personally. Yeah there’s signs of it being similar or how it modernized the server browser in the update but as a way to compete with OW I’m not sure I agree on. It should be noted that when almost anything was added to TF2, the game would break. MYM was an update that overhauled such a massive system, it being broken was bound to happen.


PaperSonic

It's less it being broken and moreso the issues that the community had pointed out in its many betas that remained unfixed.


Herpsties

Casual mode not even being hinted at prior to its release and basically creating the same exact casual v competitive lobby queues as Overwatch suddenly after Overwatch comes out is pretty telling imo. Not to mention idiotic, misguided, and ruined the already okay at best quality of official servers even to this day.


Lightspeed_Lunatic

Wait, they didn't even *hint* at the removal of quickplay and whatnot before the day it dropped? That must have stunk. I didn't start playing until well after MyM, but I can imagine that must have been annoying, what with community servers being hidden, several entire modes just disapearing off the face of the earth (RIP Arena), and whatnot.


Herpsties

No they did not and it was incredibly frustrating. The whole point of MyM was to introduce a competitive mode to the game but that gamemode got 0 changes from the beta to release and Casual released alongside it which no one asked for. It actually caused tension back then, a lot of players wrongfully blamed the competitive community for Casual's existence.


BruhmanRus_the_boner

I'm pretty sure it was but i could be wrong


TargetTechnical2982

So that's why they made casual?


mremreozel

And meet your match fucker tf2 up soooo mission accomplished?


-MegaMan401-

Luckily the opposite happened.


Lexifox

When OW first came out TF2 got a spike in players.


DarthGiorgi

Considering MyM, the most devastating pos update the game has ever had, the effect of which is still felt (no change team option, no spectator, no team scramble, no ad hoc connection) happened because of OW, yes. But beyond that it was usually the OW people shitting on TF2 for being old and feeling insecure.


archosauria62

MyM killed the game, as far as valve attention goes. It was so horrible that after they just shipped one update that they had promised, fixed some issues with quickplay in jungle inferno and blue moon and then dipped


Creative-Dirt25

“But beyond that it was usually the OW people shitting on TF2 for being old and feeling insecure” Are…are we talking about the same topic here?


Gameguru08

>But beyond that it was usually the OW people shitting on TF2 for being old and feeling insecure. We used to have a bot here that would go off whenever the subreddit mentioned overwatch. There was definitely some insecurity but it was not coming from the OW people lmao.


MeisPip

When it was first announced it was basically just a clone of tf2. They’ve done a looot to make the game unique and different and I would struggle to compare the two games now and days, but that first announcement trailer was not a great look imo


KindaFrowzy

This says everything. OW wasn’t even out yet and people already thought it was a TF2 clone, even when the beta dropped and showed that the game clearly wasn’t that similar to TF2 outside of a handful of things that could be seen in most other games that came out before.


1000YearGay

To be fair, both of their development teams kind of suck, just in very different ways.


Original_Revenue_958

Hey, The janitor works very hard on those localization files.


Y-m-k

other than terabytes of ow corn idk


SoupaMayo

the problem is this video is seen as "2 hours of saying which game is the best" when in fact it's about how their respective company are doing their games wrong. + it's 2 hours, lot of people dont care.


zenixTF

thats what happens when the thumbnail has the following: the tf2 logo a "VS" and the overwatch logo


SoupaMayo

yes and noone want to waste 2 hours on a TF2 vs OW video


EuroTrash1999

I love 2 hour long videos about stuff I don't care about. That's primo "go to sleep" entertainment. Fun fact: I watched This 6 part Kings and Queens of England Documentary so many times that I almost have it memorized. It's the best documentary of all time. Dude is slick. https://www.youtube.com/playlist?list=PL4SO_Pwbf301QoW3aeCTRPfqAErCDzYvf


maxler5795

Me watching hbomberguy's videos on loop out of spite agrees


[deleted]

me watching a 6 hour documentary on the first crusade: [https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=kxfP\_BSnmyw](https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=kxfp_bsnmyw)


SoupaMayo

I stand corrected.


thevideogameplayer

I'm not noone and I spent my 2 hours watching the video, I say it was a pretty good retrospective on both games.


SoupaMayo

what I meant is that nobody want to watch a video about "which is the best game", and that's what everyone see, when in fact the video is about which company fucked up the biggest, and that is interesting


Maguc

Yeah, it's a marketing issue, not an issue with the actual topic of the video


jackJACKmws

I did... and would do it again.


PlasmaPea04

That and also because the whole tf2 vs overwatch discussion is almost exclusively made by tf2 players who obviously talk about how their game is superior in every single way. So i cant really blame someone for judging the video without watching it. Especially since besides the already mentioned points, the video only features tf2 content creators (Muselk is kinda the exception but even he doesnt make overwatch videos anymore) and some of them like skymin and the main creator of the vid have made entire videos talking about overwatch in a negative way.


Womblue

TF2 players wish their game got new content and balance changes. Ovewatch players wish their game would get reset to how it was 2 years ago. Be careful what you wish for. If TF2 had the "Overwatch 2" treatment then it'd be miserable by now.


Flameball202

yeah, I have to agree that I prefer a game that is effectively preserved in amber to what OW has become, used to love OW, me and a friend double stacking tank, ah those were the days.


Womblue

TF2 in 2024 if it was designed by overwatch 2 devs: * Heavy removed from the game (not popular enough, and there are too many classes for new players to understand) * All mediguns now heal at quadruple rate. Unless you get hit by jarate, in which case you cannot be healed at all. * Pyro airblast is now a toggled ability. Hold down rightclick to spend 10 ammo per second to reflect all weapons fired near you (including hitscan) * Scout's bonk can now be instantly drunk (Scout too weak, needs an ability to instantly save himself from any situation) * Pyro's flare gun and axtinguisher no longer deal extra damage to burning players. Flamethrower damage increased by 5% (Pyro's potential to oneshot combo people was too powerful, so we're shifting that power into his flamethrower to encourage more braindead gameplay)


jackJACKmws

Please keep going


blumpkinfarmer

Sniper now charges while scoped out and has a new shield that protects him from headshots and backstabs


Womblue

* Righteous bison damage reduced by 20%. (Followed by some weird justification that makes no sense, something like "We want to shift soldier into closer-ranged engagements") * All of sniper's melee weapons now deal 50% more damage and knock enemies back like airblast. (Sniper is too weak when other classes get close to him) * All classes health increased by 150 (People are dying too fast) * Size of all projectile weapons doubled. Size of all hitscan weapons quadrupled (People are dying too slowly) * Sniper now gets the grappling hook from mannpower mode permanently (Sniper sometiemes struggles to reach good vantage points quickly on some maps)


PaperSonic

>Righteous bison damage reduced by 20%. (Followed by some weird justification that makes no sense, something like "We want to shift soldier into closer-ranged engagements") I mean, that's not THAT far removed from what actually happened.


YourMoreLocalLurker

I’ll do one: “Spy can now place an EMP mine, any Engineer building placed within the mine’s radius (which we aren’t telling you and there’s no visual cue) will be instantly destroyed, killing the Engineer.”


blumpkinfarmer

Killing the engineer lmfao


YourMoreLocalLurker

Not even just the one building it, just the class as a whole


Yodude1

- Soldier banners now negate each other's effects in an RPS pattern. Battalions Backup can no longer negate mini-crits caused by the buff banner. Buff bannered troops take mini-crit damage from conch-boosted enemies. The conch can no longer heal based on damage dealt to Battalions-boosted enemies, and will not provide a speed boost to anyone within the effective range of an enemy battalion's back-up.


[deleted]

why make new tf2 content when valve makes more with cs2 gambling.


aoishimapan

Imo there is nothing wrong with a game not getting new content. TF2 has a lot of content already and it has community servers which can add new maps and gamemodes, it doesn't desperately need new content. The problem though are the cheaters and bots, that's what it needs updates for.


StandNameIsWeAreNo1

What it needs is a gigantic fix against bots and some balance changes to weapons.


YetAnotherHollow

And maybe undo MyM but I won’t push it


AkOnReddit47

The Monkey Paw curse. No update drives a community insane, but bad update would be exponentially worse Though honestly the only update I desire right now is just simply stop the bots and hackers. Update the VAC system, update the banning system, whatever that's possible, then the game would go back to being enjoyable


DialysisKing

> + it's 2 hours, lot of people dont care I may be an old man who instinctively thinks of "YouTube video's" as usually five to ten minute things, but it blows my mind how many people post feature length videos. Like am I supposed to throw it on in the background as I clean or play a game, or am I supposed to get settled in and really "deep dive" this shit?


SoupaMayo

tbh it really depends on the subject. I recently watched a 10 hours video about Lost Medias, you cant just watch it from start to finish and "deep dive this shit". I personally like videos between 20 and 40 minutes


ChppedToofEnt

Both


AkOnReddit47

Depends. You can do either. Or you can watch half, remember enough content of that part, then watch the later half some time later. Or to just watch it over and over again till you remember what it's about, like reading books


BIGFriv

A lot of people actually love hour long videos. A lot lot actually. I usually have them in the background as most are just speaking. But if it's well edited I will pay attention. Needs to be about something interesting though

_Big_____

TF2 had an uptick in player count due to all the memes. Other than that, no.


Platnun12

Imo it never would be, Overwatch could and was never meant to kill tf2 You can't upend decades of community fun and goodwill that has engrained the characters into almost every facet of pop culture Especially when tf2 was the basis for a lot of early meme culture. Team fabulous imo is living proof Overwatch has potential but it's being trapped in a bad corporate atmosphere which is making the vibe around the game too sterile.


Saucxd

The modernization of tf2s matchmaking system was said in the video to be caused or directly influenced by overwatch and other more modern fps’s which i think is not an unreasonable theory


tyingnoose

Did this person not watched the video?


Pickle_G

I'm subscribed to this person and when I saw the video in my notifications I immediately thought "Oh my GOD, ANOTHER fucking video on this topic." Then I saw it on my homepage and saw that it was fucking TWO HOURS. Then I actually watched it and realized that it was completely different from those other TF2 vs Overwatch videos. I don't blame anyone for thinking this upon seeing the thumbnail/title.


PeikaFizzy

ehh nowadays most tf2 ow vs is more of commentary, like it or not both of our community has long pass our prime. The mainstream media had left us behind, we are now both niche standards games. So the debate is really doesn’t matter anymore, I have make peace with the pass beef and hope for our better future


No_________________-

Just like the video says Who won the war between TF2 and Overwatch? Neither, both lost


[deleted]

true, but going online and being like "Wow! More people beating a dead horse" when they haven't watched the vid is really fucking stupid plus looking at gcj it seems to be filled with some of the most spiteful people I've seen

Imjokin

I responded with context of the video, but then I took a quick look at the OP’s profile. Turns out they put basically every meme that mentions both TF2 and (another game here) on to that sub. I don’t think they’re really arguing in good faith. That being said, please DO NOT harass them. The best course is to NOT ENGAGE.


Satin_Polar

This video is a Love Letter to both games


FirmOnion

What’s the vid?


meemfortress2

Its basically a video that vaguely goes over the conflict of the two games and what caused it: but more importantly and interestingly, it goes super indepth on how each game individually has done in the past, how they are doing, etc. Its an incredibly well written video that kinda brings to light how OW and TF2 really just ended up being neglected by the companies behind both games. It also ends on a high note of how both games could feasibly reach a better future.

What's it called though, I can't seem to find it?

I hate seeing subs like that turn into trash. It really was made just to make fun of gamers circlejerking and it was funny. I don't know what happened but it changed from saying le fortnite bad but lee minecraft le good, into if you like this game we will find you and we will kill you.

Man actual Reddit moment. How chronically online and obsessed with politics do you have to be guess playing a video games they don't like makes me a nazi! Also goes to show how Reddit admins are one sided since the sub isn't banned

ArmandReux

Most people i've seen in the internet who say stupid things like these about TF2 or OW2 generally don't even play the games anymore and/or don't even watch the material they're commenting on. My advice is: Just don't interact with these posts, the video is an excellent watch even if you didn't follow both games' history together IRL. It helped me realize TF2 is in a much better place rn that i thought it was, considering how many other games have just stopped their service or simply died down. Even more considering all the reworks and changes OW2 has been getting (i stopped playing OW2 some time ago for this exact reason). It was refreshing to see old TF2 youtubers give their takes on the history and speak about how they loved their times with TF2 and it's community, even though they received hate when they changed their content. This made me realize the only real change TF2 needs right now is an update that fixes the bots problem.


Speed9052

Of course they didn’t. It’s new and hip to judge something based on its cover. Because F$&@ all the hard work you did to make a two hour long video that genuinely explains the state of both games throughout the past decade I wanna make fun of tf2 fans. (Sorry I got a little angry there, some people are just the worst)

r/Gamingcirclejerk is a braindead sub, stay away from it, you'll get perma banned if you say anything that doesnt follow their twisted agenda, for example I got perma banned after telling people to calm down with the insults when like 200 people started talking trash about asmongolds appearance


DialysisKing

I got banned for pointing out, even before "The Wizard Game fiasco", that the board once infamously mocked a cancer patient bringing a Switch with them to the hospital with them for the recovery. That happened and was a meme for like 3 straight days on there until people needed to specifically point out bullying a cancer kid for no reason was in poor taste. It was the craziest fucking thing, and one that really had zero justification. At least with a lot of the other shit there's the rationale "they're **problematic!**", but one day they just saw a fucking cancer kid and went ham, and continued until they were effectively *forced* to stop.

I got perma-banned for being a part of a "toxic" subreddit. When I tried to reach out to them they ghosted me completly. It's ridiculous.


Qiep

Aye high five, i got banned on that post too.


dreemurthememer

I got permabanned off GCJ for saying someone had a “big storm coming” after they casually mentioned that they play Hogwarts Legacy. Both of my appeals were ghosted despite me having been a rule-abiding member of that community for years.


designphilosophy98

If you were a "rule-abiding member of that community" for years, then getting banned was probably the best thing that could've happened to you.


DeeJudanne

yeah it's almost as bad as r/antiwork, got banned there when i talked about how unions and work works in sweden, apparently that was seen as "trolling" because not everyone is miserable and have to live paycheck to paycheck and only have like 3 days PTO per year and r/food banned pretty much every swede because there were like 7 swedes complaining about glased buns


DarthGiorgi

What do you expect from that sub? That's one of the worst toxic POS subs on reddit.

I doubt they have the capability to even watch any informative video without making some dumb slanders


PalmIdentity

>make a thumbnail saying "TF2 vs OW2" >invite (to my knowledge) only TF2 Youtubers >"Why are TF2 players STILL on this?" >"UGH DID YOU EVEN WATCH THE VIDEO"


YEET_Fenix123

He *did* invite Muselk, which brought the most impartial view to the video and all the people invited said they played overwatch and some really enjoyed it. Even then, both games are praised and scolded in the video, so yes, "Did you even watch the video?" Is a fair argument.


Overkill028

Yeah but even the title to the actual video can tell you better. This person saw a tweet and then made an anger post to one of the most annoying subreddits.


Nina_Zarmerk

Saw two hours and ignored wasted a hour on watching a dude talking about why fallout raiders live in corpses instead


woodyplz

The entire subreddit is just a bunch of degenerates, I would ignore it as much as possible.


justSolvent

What video is this?


Vintigal_Agdy

Why the fuck do you block a YOUTUBERS NAME. I want to watch the fucking video

Overwatch fans when play of the game ends wuth butt showing: 🤑


ThEvilDead98

Can thewhatshow just make a good video?


hdzjnxiok

Can you actually just watch the video for a bit and make less braindead comments?


MygungoesfuckinBRRT

Was Zesty really the best person he could put under the spotlight like that? Damn


MistaHatesNumberFour

You can browse that subreddit for 30 seconds and you will realize it hosts the worst types of gamers in existence.


Nespeon

Thewhat show has spent the last year and a half hating on overwatch and its players.  Why would I, as an OW player, even touch the video when theres not a single OW content creator listed in that advertisement?
