However there's no progression system (nothing to unlock/upgrade except for the appearance of the heroes) which makes earning experience points and “levelling up” very ungratifying. Furthermore despite the various maps and game modes, all games seem to play out the same with all the action focused around a given objective point - it's a frantic run-and-gun experience which soon gets v.repetitive. After only a few hours I felt I'd done it all and there was little point forcing myself to continuing to playing. I've returned my copy for a refund.… Expand

    It plays fine, and the characters are taken from every video game trope, making sure every taste is represented, but the minute to minute game play never grabbed me, and without a meta game to drive progression, i saw no reason to play again after my initial session.

    Overwatch is for a particular type of gamer. A niche that has been filled in the past with less flashy but just as competent titles like Team Fortress 2. If you like that specific experience, you will like Overwatch. Otherwise, its merely a distraction in a year of many more interesting games in all genres.

    I suggest borrowing it for a weekend or renting it before you buy it.

Having put in a good chunk of hours I'm starting to think this was a flash in the pan, and the extent to which people no-longer post about it would seem to confirm that.

    Overwatch is a class based ("Hero") shooter a-la Team Fortress 2, colorful graphics, large and varied roster, allegedly a dozen or so maps, all good. The problem is there is basically 1 game mode "go stand by the thing" with an implied "don't let the enemy stand by the thing." The maps are functionally identical and so easy to navigate you get the impression that they have been committee designed so as to meet some sort of balance criteria that makes them all equally boring.

    The matchmaking is skittish and will frequently drop you on the "defeat" screen and then kick you from the game. It would appear that a single person leaving the match can be enough for the system to decide it's no longer worth bothering. Equally frustrating is the claim that you'll be playing with people of a similar skill level doesn't seem to pan out, matches are almost always a complete pushover for one team or the other. The best matches are of course when it goes right down to the wire, with the "overtime" mechanic apparently intended to encourage this sort of play, however as I said this seldom happens. Matches can be over in as little as 2 minutes, combine this with the excessive pre-match wait and the twitchy matchmaking and you've got a situation where you can end up spending most of your time twiddling your thumbs.

    I'd like to suggest there are also some balance issues, especially if the enemy team is running 2 or more of the same hero, however any complaint will immediately be met by the community with "hero X is a hard counter to Y" lest blizzard ever be exposed to criticism of their game mechanics.

    All in all considering how colorful and varied it is the whole experience ends up bland and repetitive and I've got a serious case of buyers remorse over paying full whack for what feels like a F2P game.    … Expand

    Blizzard did a lot right with this game, but they were apparently not interested in making a game that is fun to play solo. I assume that eventually players will learn what to do and cooperate (similar to WOW), but for now most battles are a disorganized mess.

You can gain levels, but so what. Leveling has no impact on your abilities/stats. Without the ability to improve your character, I think this game will get boring pretty quickly. There is just no feeling of progression at all. This game is probably a blast to play with a group of friends but we don't all have 5 friends standing by when we feel like playing.… Expand

    As of this moment this game is literally like the Beta if you played it. You didn't miss anything. There's nothing pass the Beta. I put in hours on this game, and I mean hours.

I put in hours on this game, and I mean hours. Whenever I get a new game, I play only that until I'm tired of it. That's exactly what I did. I got tired of the game pretty quickly because of one thing: 2 modes and that it. I will be technical as it is only 2 modes but if you expand it there's 7 modes if you really want to lie about something:

    1) Practice mode: basics
    2) practice mode: training
    3) PvP: KotH (king of the hill)
    4) PvP: escort
    5) PvE: KotH
    6) PvE: escort
    7) weeklies

    ^all of these is basically 2 modes since practice mode doesn't count and the pvp and pve does the same modes.

    Now, I expected a lot from a triple A title, especially since I'm a multiplayer type of person. I played CoD, BF, Halo, Destiny, Borderlands, Gears of War, and Division. Each of those titles I had something to complain about since I'm skeptic on what "should" be in the game besides what in their future dlc. At this very moment though that I'm writing this review, this game is not worth the price on the label. This game should either be half the retail or even free.

    You're thinking, I'm probably being hard the game. Well, let's compare to what you're missing in a triple A title that all other titles have done: Campaign, horde mode, and more than 2 modes of multiplayer. Is that so hard? You are paying $60 for literally a fraction of that. One would argue that you're getting all these characters. CoD4 multiplayer split screen local does somewhat a similar job. It has classes you can't create yourself that everyone can only play. You are playing an updated version of CoD4 local with only 2 modes: HQ and Safeguard. You get nothing else. If CoD did that to us, we'd expect the game to be beta or free. Everyone that's a fan of blizzard gaming has turned a blindeye to this since they are playing their favorite characters from league of legends.

    I actually wish this game came with more; in fact, I hope the DLCs come free. Where this game stands from gaming review seems paid off and fake. Although I seem negative about this review there's a reason why I'm giving this game a 4 out of 10.

    Campaign: 0/10
    PvE: 4/10 (terrible AI)
    PvP: 9/10

    ^if you average this it become 4.3/10. You can have an incredible multiplayer, but if that's all you have I'd even be more specific as the multiplayer isn't that amazing since there's only 2 modes. I'm being lenient when giving multiplayer pvp a 9/10. It should technically be 5/10 since there's no tdm or any other modes.    … Expand

    Team Fortress 2 launched bundled with the content rich Orange Box and it was an amazing deal. Why Blizzard didn't follow TF2's launch example is disappointing. Overwatch should've launched at a $29.99 or $19.99 price for the amount of game content on offer. Overwatch could've even gone free to play as TF2 did.

    There is a fun game here, but unless Blizzard adds in some form of single player or actual story in multiplayer? I recommend waiting for a big price drop or used copy. The game already dropped $10 on Amazon, so, in a month or so it will drop even more.

    I've never left a review for a game on Metacritic, but I felt like I just had to say something about Overwatch.

    First off, this game has so much potential, but in it's current state it's totally not worth it. If this were a Free-To-Play game, I would say "Wow," great job, but $60 for what is essentially a game with a few maps and no story is absolutely ridiculous. Let me break it down    I've never left a review for a game on Metacritic, but I felt like I just had to say something about Overwatch.

    First off, this game has so much potential, but in it's current state it's totally not worth it. If this were a Free-To-Play game, I would say "Wow," great job, but $60 for what is essentially a game with a few maps and no story is absolutely ridiculous. Let me break it down with you starting with the pros.

    Pros:
    1. Fluid Gameplay
    2. Fun Characters
    3. Action Packed, Small Maps
    4. Brings back memories of Q3 Arean

    Cons
    1. I'm not sure how the PC version plays but in the PS4 version you have only 2 game modes. "Quick Match" or "Arcade".... WTF. You can't select maps, you can't select playstyle... And if you select "Quick Match" it's pretty much always the same "escort the cargo" mission or "Hold point A for X amount of time."

    Sorry, but that gets old, and if you don't like the randomly chosen map you are SOL

    2. No character progression. Sure, you level up but it doesn't mean anything. You don't get stronger, you don't get new weapons. All you get with a level is a "loot box" that will give you meaningless stuff like skins. So you never feel like you're working towards something ever. A Victory or Defeat means nothing.

    3. Annoying load times... Often you will have a quick match that ends in 10 minutes, then you're stuck watching the Play of the Game, voting for the MVP, then waiting for the match to load, then waiting for the countdown for the match to start. Sometimes it feels like you are WAITING FOR THE GAME TO START more than you're actually playing the **** game.

    4. NO FFA mode, No FFA Teams mode.

    5. Some characters are clearly unbalanced. Any noob can use the character who transforms into a turret/tank and just camp around a corner and wait for someone to round it and maul them down. The autoaiming characters almost guarantee you 3-5 kills. The precision characters are soooo bad on the PS4 version because the controller makes it too hard to aim them. They aren't bad, but it's clealry unbalanced.

    6. Play of the game is meaningless. It's always just whoever killed a few people in a short of amount of time... Usually through a cheap ult. MVP is also meaningless as most people just vote for somebody random, even if it's someone on the losing team

    7. No Single Player Mode, No offline play

    Anyway, I enjoyed Overwatch for a couple days and it's already played out. You quickly realize that you're fighting for nothing and there is no where to progress to. It feels so impersonal and you never feel connected to your team or the other team despite it being a team based game.

    This should have been a F2P game with skins and "loot box" BS as purchasable items. There is no content here to justify a $60 price tag, and if I could take the game back now, I would.    … Expand

However after investing several hours in this game I am still taken aback by how empty it truly is. The maps are gorgeous and offer multiple options to players to adapt and develop strategies however the game is limited to a stock few game modes that once dealt with a few times offer little variation. The character roster can not be faulted however beyond mastering the different play styles each, there is little to aim for witch each being unlocked from the start. I can see the draw of a well worked team game with each player playing to a strength and building a balanced team however far too often you are placed in a game lacking coordination and nothing is more frustrating than loosing an objective based game because everyone on your team is gunning for that solo killing streak.

    My other bug bear that again personally cuts the game re-playabilty in half is the lack of unloackables or character development. You unlock new character features, poses and sprays through earning 'loot boxes'. These boxes take no stock of your play style, character choices or skill. Equally they do not pop in relation to player achievements, these loot boxes will appear once every time you level up, or if you succumb to the fee-to-play ethos of blizzard and buy yourself some. This for me gives you no real motivation beyond mastering the characters available and certainly no stock that you have. The two specific trophies/achievements that you can earn after painstaking play with your specific character merely unlock different 'sprays' that can be declared onto walls in front of you in-game for absolutely none else to look at...
    There just isn't any reason for you to keep going hoping that one of the loot boxes will drop a skin for a character that you maybe play as now and again.

    I truly can't grasp the reason behind the hype surround this game. I think the user reviews speak for themselves and wish I'd paid more of attention to them instead of being blinded by the hype surrounding a sub stellar game marketed at a AAA price.    … Expand

However, it just starts to feel after a few hours that every match is the same. This wouldnt be too much of a problem if the game was priced reasonably. But for being charged around 60 USD for a game that has not an iota of single player, or a coop campaign mode, the absurd amount of mid match disconnects, and the lack of real depth in game play (unless playing at competitive level) makes it hard to give this a score of anything above average.

A few hours later however, after seeing some flaws, like the tracking speed of the engineers turret, and the damage of some non-ultimate abilties, I started to see why this game is broken from the start.

    This is a blizzard game, and if you have played world of war craft for any period of time, you would know that balance is a big issue in pvp, it always has been and always will be. How is blizzard supposed to keep 21 diverse characters balanced when they can't keep 8 classes balanced?

    This game with basically 1 game mode costs $60 on consoles. I got bored fast. Team fortress on the other hand was $20 on release, had many game modes and a modding community.

    If you have read this far and are still wondering if you should buy this game, just ask yourself "is an unfinished game with very little content worth $60 to me?"
    If you think unfinished games are worth your money, then by all means, you might get an hour or two of fun out of this, otherwise, just pass.

    And lastly, to the people who gave this a 9 or 10, please come back and fix your review in a couple of weeks when you get bored and stop playing it. It would really help put an end to these companies selling half finished products.    … Expand

    its an interesting first person shooter with rich characters and design. But competitive play requires you have five friends available to form a team that works well together. The rating system gives individual ratings based on the teams result. If you dont have a team that all work together, you will lose. Period. And when you lose, you lose 50 rating points.

It doesnt take a mathemetician to realize even if you win 50% of the games, you rating will descend until you are paired with terrible teammates who have long given up and just want to sabotage your game.

    The game is great if you have five, high-level players to group up with, and its awful if you dont. Not sure why i care to learn 35 different heros and their abilities while being permanently stuck with the under 500 rated players. I easily earned 2300 rating in the placement matches, then most games after are a loss from there. I tried this twice and it happened twice. Huge loss in rating for a match loss, not so much gain at a win. The more you expect teamwork, the more they will passive aggressively not help you. Popularity contest rules apply to whether or not a player will help you. It helps if you are LGBT it seems. Strange to have sexual orientation based prejudices

    The quickplay is fun 1 in 3, or maybe 1 in 4 games, but the teamwork and discipline is even less in quickplay.

    I believe games with ratings should only reflect individual performance. Maybe future versions can fix this issue but i doubt it.    … Expand

    The game was practically abandoned, if you are in high ranks, it takes hours to find a match there's nothing to do in the game other than playing the same games with the same characters doing the same thing. The game was good at launch. And the simple price doesn't decrease even after many years

    Now lets talk about the player base 99% of them are idiots or they're in the age group of 6-12 and don't understand strategy. Let me give you a situation I'll be a tank with my whole team with me I initiate the fight low and behold my whole team ran off to hide somewhere with there thumbs up there asses not even close to the point that we need to capture or escort. Or we get people who insta-lock Widowmaker expecting to be a game changer and they completely suck as in 0 kills and 0 assists and 40 deaths.

    Now another issue they have is ranked and I shouldn't get to much into this but lets say last season you placed gold. The next season comes around you do your placements and win every single one guess what rank you are oh right your gold! Cause there MMR system for placements are so abysmal that it actually ruins the game the only ranking system that does this. In any game I've ever played.

Lets take maps for instance - I played some road map (route some numbers). This was just plain dumb, when I was defending convoy my whole team had hard time to simply leave the base, we were crushed, two matches later when I was attacking the convoy we just pummeled enemies.
    And it's no accident, its not the first blizzard game that suffers ballance issues.

    Besides, the graphics are just average, amount of content is nice, but beside the ballance issue game suffers from lack of true goal. When I was on my way to work after playing another 20 or so matches I was wondering why Id waste so much time on something so unrewarding. There is no cool story Youl uncover. No sense of acomplishement after winning a match, because You wonder why You had won - because of Your skill or enemies just had worst champs/unfavorable map goal - and thats the nail in the coffin for Overwatch.

Colorful graphics, unique characters, tight art design, oozes style from every crevice. Glance at it and it's an incredibly well put together game. Put it under the microscope and the illusion fades.

    The number one issue on console is the aiming mechanic. It's one of the worst of this generation. The max turn speed is too slow to handle the quickness of movement for some of these characters. Couple the insane amount of input lag with timed acceleration and there is no consistency to crosshair movement. It's no surprise than that the more precision a character requires to do well the more worthless they are and the less they are used online. Tanks, grenadiers, and shotgunners dominate.

    Outside of gameplay the experience isn't much better. Whether there is no community left or SBMM is too stringent, the game takes too long to find a match, often more than a minute. Often as not it will place you in a match that's nearly over leaving you waiting more than playing. This is further aggrevated by the half a minute team composition time and then the minute long wait before the match begins.

    They try to rectify this by, on occasion, putting you in a pre-battle non objective ffa skirmish with the playes that have been matched already while finding the rest. These usually last seconds and you often get kicked back into menu to search for a new lobby. Why they couldn't let you stay in training with bots while the search for players commences is beyond me.

    Overwatch is one of those games that you really, really, really, want to be good because it has a lot of great qualities but it falls apart where it matters most. If it ever gets its aiming and matchmaking fixed it will be something special.    … Expand

    This game and games like this are destroying the gaming industry. Developers pander to the stupidest people with no coordination or skill and their games reflect that in shallow, pointless, buggy messes like Overwatch. Blizzard is treating you like your an idiot and you prove them right by buying this garbage. This game is meant for the lowest commen denominator. Not gamers. This game is meant for people who think games on your phone are real video games. If you buy this, you are supporting the destruction of the gaming industry.

    No one will play this game in a month. No ones even playing it anymore now. Now that the new fresh smell is gone, this game will wither like it shouldve before it was released. Save your 60 bucks. This game should be a free to play game on your iphone.

    Overwatch boils down to a repetitive, bland, pointless, uninspired TF2 clone that costs $60 with microtransactions included day one.    … Expand

    OverHYPED. Why are the heroes fighting each other? The world needs less generic online FPS games that severely lack content. No horde survival mode? No option to even vote for the game type? And only 2 game types at that... attack and defend! LOL what a scam.

    This game is nowhere near a 10. It's a 6/10, but I gave it a 0 for all of the lying, paid off, BS hype. I had all the 12 maps memorized in 2 days. Unless you have a group of friends to play with constantly it's a waste of money. The matchmaking does not even come close to pairing you up with appropriate competition.

So I just play versus the AI it's an absolute snooze fest because if your team are not morons and just make sure that someone heals then you'll smoke the AI, but if you have 58 snipers then you may as well just back out of the game. As a kicker I just switched from Playstation to XBox. Not only did the game cost me $100 CAN, now I have to pay $10 a month for the rest of my life to play the game? Good thing it got boring as hell after 3 days.… Expand

    Blizzard . Stop releasing 60 dollar Games with no content. Excellent mechanics, etc. but no Story, no maps, unless you spend another 60+ dll's . then sell a complete game in 120 dlls if that is the real price that you want to sell it

    It is absolutely impossible to perceive such a game design - seriously.
    Okay, so game design, but this cardboard animation and physics, just cry, that this game should be - f2p.

    This game started out great, then it became dull,
    It's not for everyone, and it can sometimes cause huge anger and frustration because of the matchmaking system.
    I don't regret buying it as it was great when it first came out, but I probably won't play it much anymore, I'd like to check out better games than wasting my time playing more Overwatch.

    The game is fun at first, but as the hours drag on you realize this game has no replay value at all. I enjoyed the first couple days, but never missed the game. After that I tried to play it intermittently but found myself wanting to play PvZ 2 or Battleborn instead. This game may have been worth $20, but no more.

    It's funny. The problem is that it takes only a little to finish the game. The rest is ****. It starts a little interesting ( many characters, few skills ) but after playing for hours you realize it's the same . That you have been playing the same **** for five hours.
    The same happened with star wars, the difference is that in this case is the god Blizzard , then you can not say anything.

    For the amount of content that it offers, the game does not worth the price. Further, it still has some technical issues as high latency if you are from Asia, Latin America. I wonder how much blizzard coerce Critic Reviews to be favorable, really unbelievable that this game gets a 10/10

    Hola esta es una critica en español y mi opinión de OW es de que es un fiasco y un total intento fallido de hacer un juego como el TF2 solo que los de Blizzard le agregan los poderes secundarios tipo moba y ya con eso según ellos tiene un juego la pura verdad este juego va dirigido al publico masculino y a niños por el echo de que trata del típico escuadrón de HÉROES y en TF2 no solo son 9Hola esta es una critica en español y mi opinión de OW es de que es un fiasco y un total intento fallido de hacer un juego como el TF2 solo que los de Blizzard le agregan los poderes secundarios tipo moba y ya con eso según ellos tiene un juego la pura verdad este juego va dirigido al publico masculino y a niños por el echo de que trata del típico escuadrón de HÉROES y en TF2 no solo son 9 mercenarios con mucho carisma, la gente que consocio el OW conoció primero al personaje femenino Tracer y luego ala WindowMaker gracias a paginas de arte o vídeos para adultos si saben de los que dijo y para mi es la primera ves que veo mucho de ese contenido para adultos y así ha pasado con todas las Mujeres del OW y hasta ahora la única que les interesa es la D´va por su estilo como chica Otaku Gamer.

    Y otro punto es de que el juego es puro OLINE y tiene los mismos modos de juego como captura la bandera, captura el punto de control, y la que mas me llamo la atención fue la de Carga explosiva como se dice en TF2 (que consiste de llevar por unas vías de tren un un carreta una bomba y llevarla su destino) pero a qui en ves de ser una bomba es una limusina blindada, la verdad es los mismos TF2 sin excepción solo con mujeres muy sexualizadas y el publico no ve las criticas reales que son las de los jugadores a mi en lo personal no me interesa una critica de un critico de Ahora por razones de corrupción, lo malo que el juego esta incompleto solo ONLINE en serio a pero eso si puedes comprar skins que para mi es como si el juego lo hubieran echo hace 6 meses no loan terminado por falta de dinero y como se lo gastaron mas en propaganda de todo tipo si hasta contenido para adultos por que esos artistas no cobran barato y debió ser un buen trato, pero volviendo al tema del Gaming es igualito al TF2 y el TF2 es gratis y la comunidad genial pero esto que esto no es un juego real esto es un juego reciclado y pagar como 999.00 pesos mexicanos no lo vale y creo que sera de esos juegos como TF2 que antes fue de paga y después Gratis y como deje antes ami se me hace un juego incompleto y que aparte sera terminada después de recaudar dinero con los skins .

    Personajes:
    Los personajes de OW para mi y en verdad 2 o mas hacen a uno del TF2 como un ejemplo: WindoWmaker+Hanzo=Sniper del TF2 pero por que miren para los que no han jugado TF2 el sniper tiene varias arnas pero se dividen en 2 Sniper y arco y tiene la misma jugabilidad hasta las dos armas de Window que son el sniper y rifle de asalto eso los tiene el mismos Sniper pero del TFClassic y así con todos Tracer+Lúcio=Scout, Spy=Genji+Reaper+McCree(El spy tambien depende de los disparos ala cabeza), Ingeniero=Torbjörn+Symmetra, este he visto en el juego de OW 4 Heavy=Roadhog+BASTION+WINSTON+Zarya, Medic=MERCY+Zenyatta, Pyro=Mei, Saldado=Soldado: 76+Pharah, y al final mi perosnaje favorito del TF2 que es DEMOMAN que se comforma 2 uno repetido que son: Demoman:REINHARDT+PHARAH(de nuevo)+JUNKRAT ere fianl es el mas copiado por si lanza bombas lapa y su famoso sticky jump, mismas mecánicas en todos los personajes y por favor antes de critica mal o bien un juego comparen los 2 tanto como OW y el TF2 que tiene suerte de ser gratis y no pierden nada

    Motivos por que su éxito:
    1.- Mucha publicidad de cual quier tipo sin perdonar.
    2.- Gaming reciclado de un FPS real que es el TF2 que lleva mas de 9 años apenas en este año.
    3.-Personajes femeninos muy sexualizadas tanto como en FanArt como en el Juego.
    4.-Mucha prensa Corrupta.
    5.-Una jugabilidad muy fácil como en PC y en consolas que la verdad lo puede jugar un niño que juega COD o Splatoon sin tanta experiencia.
    6.-El juego esta dirigido al publico masculino de 12 a 25 años.
    7.-Texturas muy infantiles y no tiene Gore.
    8.-Y personas que compran jugos pro moda.

    Gracia por ver este comentario y piensa lo 2 veces por que como dicen en steam no hay devoluciones Saludos :D!

    PD: Esté es un mensaje para todos los jugadores de OW o fanboys que dicen a los de TF22: juégalo antes de criticar al OW pues mira yo te dijo los mismo con TF2 juega primero TF2 compáralo con el OW y tu dime cuales mejor por que eso de decir que por que tu juegas al OW y muchos estén de acuerdo con eso argumento no se me hace una excusa ni aceptable por que el TF2 ya cumple en este 2016 sus 9 años desde su entrega y se me hace una tontería de decir eso pro que el OW es de paga y por que uno que no le gusta ese juego lo va comprar para hacer una critica buena pero en cambio los de OW puedes criticar al TF2 en total por que es un juego F2P y muchos jugadores le dan de User Score 9.1 t los críticos 9.2 en cambio el OW tiene miren que es raro decir esto un juego reciclado de un juego de VALVE que por los críticos: 9.1 en pc 9.1 en Xbox one y en Play Station 4 es de 9.0 he pero esperate esa son de los críticos pero la que en verdad importa es del consumidor osease el publico y mira que hay un cambio drástico: PC:7.0, y las mas fatales XboxOne:5.7 y Playe Station 4:6.2    … Expand

YOU BETTER READ THIS, I THINK IT'S PRETTY IMPORTANT: It has been confirmed that this game has rigged matchmaking, which works to keep every player at 50% winratio or slightly higher. After playing over 500 matches, i can confirm this is true first hand, my winratio HASN'T CHANGED AT ALL since i started playing. For further evidence check masteroverwatch site, virtually everyone is at 49-55% winrate (except competetive players from premade teams, and even then there's less than 100 players per platform with 70%+ winrate). But how do they do it? Well, for starters, the most obvious, they put you in bad teams so you're predestined to lose, that happens alot, and makes the game very frustrating. But that's not even all, the matchmaking resorts to much more disgusting methods to keep your winrate in check. For example, you are in a good team that won 2 or 3 matches in a row. Ohh so sorry, we have to disband it, because "there are not enough players", and you're back to lobby looking for a new game, even though there were 11/12 players in that match. After that you're probably put into a losing match 1 minute before it ends. Because f*ck you, you'r W/L is way too high! Sometimes they just don't care and straight out disconnect you out of a match, even though your internet works perfectly (and don't worry, you will never disconnect from a losing game, its always when you're about to win, especially if you're the MVP). Just so we are clear, disconnect = instant lose and no way to return to that match. Of course i've quit the game when learned about this, and i would never buy it to begin with. Only if someone warned me...

    Of course this is not a problem if you have 5 friends, who want to play the same game as you, at the same hours as you, and on the same platform... In other words, no. Stay away.    … Expand

    Gameplay (1/10) - heroes are unbalanced, there is zero reward for being a skilled player and zero punishment for trolling

Sometimes when I try to reload, the game will reload but it will sometimes stop in animation and just quickly doesn't continue to reload.
