What an odd person and post.

[Soul Reaver]

OW2 vs Mobile Rivals quality

OW: real PC game with a high level of polish and quality

MR: cheap unoptimized mobile phone game with many characters having janky movesets

winner? probably none of them for me, waiting for the next REAL game.

Ok and?.

divide rivals player count by 10 and you will get around the actual number, which is similar to overwatch, since Netease love to inflate their numbers with bot accounts and traffic coming from China, i mean when you have 1.5 billion people, it is easy to tell few Chinese to log in their game and boost the number so it creates the illusion that the game does well. Neatease were doing this with Naraka, they do this with Rivals. Nothing new.

nope, ow is still dying

[TastyPillows]

Marvel Rivals players shouldn't want Overwatch to die.

Remember what happened when Overwatch had no competition? The biggest fall from grace I think I've ever seen in a game.

OW's is definitely more rigged. I have had many Rivals matches that were really close, like right down to the wire of the payload being an inch from the destination and the defenders making a comeback. I have never, NEVER seen a close game in Overwatch 2. Either the point never gets captured because the grandmaster level players are defending against the silvers and golds, or the point never slows down even for a second because the grandmasters are attacking against silvers and golds.

Not a single player in OW has ever played against another player anywhere near their own skill level. Not. One.

none of the matches in both game are rigged

Read Activisions patent on Engagement Optimized Matchmaking (the matchmaking system that has been in every one of their games since 2013) then try and say that again.

not rigged there just said it

"Purely on Steam." Useless comparison.

Most of Overwatch 2's players aren't on Steam.
