The Psychology of Role Swapping in Overwatch
Something you may have noticed in your games, whether it's your own gameplay or others is how differently the roles end up being played depending on the main role of the person playing them. I was curious about this and there's a LOT of psychology behind it, so why not take a dive?

Storm Striker: A FUN Game isn't a GOOD Game
Переглядів 16 тис.14 годин тому
Storm Striker is a 5v5 Third Person Hero Shooter that I came across randomly while scrolling through Steam and it hooked me... within hours? Yeah it's hard to judge a game when you can't queue into a match for about 4 hours. Storm Striker is incredibly fun, yet I find myself unable to recommend it as an actually good game.

    Thanks for making a video on SS! I fear that, with the future releases of other hero-based games, Storm Striker will die.

Nevertheless, I'll keep on having fun with it, just like you did!

    2:06 Oh shit, that me Although, that's only as DPS for me. I think I just don't know how to play DPS, because I play Support differently than I play Tank. I have to make a lot more conscious decisions as Support though, because I have to fight the urge to be in the front line defending my team lol

    • @BandannaBread
      @BandannaBread 22 години тому

      Lowkey though, I have sort of noticed that I tend to play into whatever the Tank is doing a lot, because I generally know what they'd want. I have to play basically every Tank, or at least know what they do, so it helps me figure out when they'd want something, who I'd want to have on my team as that character, or even when to use certain abilities like pulling back a Brawl or Dive Tank that got a little too in over their head. For the last point, a lot of the Tanks I play with notice that I'll pull them out of bad situations as Lifeweaver, and end up playing more aggressive because of it, for better or worse. My pulls for Brawl and Dive Tanks are generally okay, but I still have times were I end up screwing the Tank out of a play. Just need to learn more lol One more thing is that I'm not in Masters+, so it's expected that everyone is going to be making some mistakes. Having the comfort from feeling like someone's got your back in case things go poorly helps a lot of less experienced Tanks play better (Mainly because they're not always questioning themselves and being too nervous to take space). It feels like sort of a safety net, and it's nice for me to help people have fun with it. Also Tank is miserable 90% of the time, so I don't really feel like shitting on the Tank is going to really help anyone lol. They put up with enough as is

    The only reason I was happy they implemented super jump tech was because it became easier for controller. On PC, I’d be able to do it fine, but when it came to controller it was slightly more difficult, at least for me. I do miss the old ga cooldown from ow1 though, mercy really does feel more sluggish to compared how smooth she felt in like 2018.

As time went on and I eventually found my playstyle, today I main Sig on tank, Sombra/Symm/Pharah/Venture on dps, and Moira/Mercy/Ana as supports. You can for sure see the pattern on my playstyle based on the characters I enjoy playing now.

Maybe they could have given her team heck ability some healing overtime effect in addition to the shield buff.

  • @Skunkcommentary
    @Skunkcommentary 2 дні тому

    I primarily play support (Ana main since 2018) and I believe that what made Ana such a great support is that she is fun to play as, is not the absolute hardest to pick up, but is one of the hardest heroes in the game to master and has two powerful abilities that you need to be really smart with using. What makes Ana well designed is that her abilities either wins a fight or leaves her to the sharks. Kiri on the other hand is always super powerful. She never has a point of weakness and there is no counterplay to her. With Anas nade. You can either hard push Ana once she has used it or back off. Also, making an Ana use it defensively is not too hard to do. Sleep dart is one of the hardest abilities in the game to master and it is so easy to miss it. It also has a super long cooldown and leaves Ana vunerable for the entire duration of the cooldown, but it can set up huge plays for your team. Suzu on the other hand has everything and no counterplay. It also does not leave an open window to kill Kiri. Same with swift step. No counterplay and no skill needed for it. The only skill with Kiris abilities is mastering the timing of Suzu, which is not too hard to do. I rarely play her but I usually manage to land big Suzus. In my opinion. I think making swift step into a smoke bomb that makes Kiri invisible while she is inside of it would be a better and more "character fitting" thing to do (considering she is supposed to be some sort of ninja I guess). And make the suzu only two of the things it is. In my humble opinion, make it cleanse ability ccs but not ults and make it so you can still deal knockback to suzu-ed targets. Also, nerf her projectile size, aka Hanzo-logs Jr.

    if you think a game isnt good then its because its more unfun than its fun, the whole point of a game is to be fun (whether that fun means anything from interesting action to conveying an important theme/message to the player and even to harmful addictive mechanics like gacha, if any of that appeals to a gamer its because its fun to them), so in this case theyre not succeeding with that if its more unfun than fun

    As somebody who got into ow bc of lucio and I still main him, he isn’t in a bad spot, it’s everyone else. Overwatch rewards low skilled heroes. Sym getting a health buff. Sombra being in every. Freaking. Match. Moira literally has auto aim. Lifeweaver is extremely hard to kill, and his thorns are way more effective in a 1v1. Pharahs are everywhere. And you can somehow boop a rein charge but can’t boop a mauga one. It’s just so frustrating to play against so many different hero’s and then somehow they just get BUFFED even more. Like this season has been miserable. Part of last season was so horrible I temporarily uninstalled the game. Sad times

  • @ihavecrabs56
    @ihavecrabs56 2 дні тому

    one thing that turns me off from all these "hero" based games is... quite honestly the characters themselves. why should i care about these characters? itsn ot like league of legends where these characters have been out for over a decade. or like overwatch where theres a million or more dollars behind the characterization and lore. i have ZERO reason to gaf about any of these characters. they might as well be grey hitboxes for all i care. another issue is why should i learn another hero shooter thats just as difficult if not more than a preexisting one? im still waiting for a "Casual" shooter. overwatch really is the closest with heroes like winston, moira, and mercy. but if i want to play long range artillery, i have to actually have the technical prowess of aiming on widowmaker. that requires HUNDREDS of hours of training your aim which imo is a MAJOR turn off for casuals. i already know games like these are a balance nightmare. its a never ending cycle. characters need buffs or nerfs and the community cries and then the devs reworks or characters become forgotten. it happens every game. from shooters to fighters to mobas and everything inbetween. so what can a hero shooter do to differentiate itself and make it worth investing in? for one, get rid of hero concept as a whole and instead have roguelike options during each match to pick abilities. and 2 make it EASY. make bullets like 30x larger. add aim assist. one thing youll find is that gamers HATE when games become "Easier" for casuals. its because they think theyre actually better than they really are or could be better and want to increase the skill gap between them and worse players to make themselves seem better. its self detrimental. the dunning kruger effect lol. so devs lower the ceiling and even if the change is beneficial for the majority of players, they HATE changes like that lol. its quite funny! i never understood why shooters require such a high skill to begin with. you really ahve to be GOOD at aiming in order to enjoy games like overwatch ,apex, cod, u name it. its sad. i dont want to sit in an aim trainer for 10+ hours just to get headshot for peaking an angle by someone whose been aiming for 10 years. if thats going to be the gameplay, why not just make it so your gun automatically one taps as soon as you see the enemy? then EVERYONE can enjoy the gameplay. not just those that are proficient aimers. when everyone is on the same level in terms of micro capabilities, then the players with the best MACRO will win. instead, all these shooters just reward aim. if u have good aim, you can brute force yourself through pretty much any shooter since theyre all reliant on that one skill (aim). and of course theres different types of aiming like flicks or tracking, but at the end of the day theyre all just glorified aim trainers with a pretty skin and the person with the best aim wins! i think thats why people hate rats in apex. because the one skill that should carry them to pred (aim) isnt the sole factor for winning a match. the person with the best aim doesnt win a match of apex, the last to die is the winner! if they could, gamers would make it so the person with the most kills wins. at that point, why even play br? just play tdm XD

    • @PixelRory
      @PixelRory 2 дні тому

      ...I've never used an aim trainer in my life and got to masters in Overwatch on DPS, with Overwatch being my first ever shooter. You don't need to "spend 10 hours in aim training". My "training" was literally just me playing the game and having a good time. In Overwatch, you don't even need to have good aim. Have you seen the roster?? Have you played the game???? This is an incredibly mal-informed view of the FPS genre as a whole tbh, the whole point of a shooter is to shoot. Why would you be mad that someone with better aim can kill you faster? That's like getting mad at the other player in soccer because their dribbling is better and you can't take the ball. You don't need hundreds of hours of training in order to play widow. If you want to play your long range artillery as a casual player, just play the game. Have fun. If you call yourself a casual, the outcome shouldn't matter. Just play the game? I was getting absolutely steam rolled in some of the matches I played on storm strikers but it was still a fun time to me, win or loss doesn't matter I was still playing the game. As for your point on *needing* to have good aim to enjoy an FPS. That's just you?. 2017, my first matches of Overwatch, my first matches of any shooter ever, I was playing whoever, Cassidy, Reaper, Tracer, Mercy, Rein, Soldier, Hanzo. You'll notice that at least 4 of those character require "good" aim. And I didn't care. The game was fun. I just played. It was a good time. Your proposal to "fix" the hero shooter genre which is "make it easier" isn't going to fix it. The roguelike suggestion is certainly a good one, I mean Paladins is an example of a game that lets you swap your abilities and augment yourself with the shop items. But just making it easier? A *lot* of players are drawn to challenge. Not competitiveness, but CHALLENGE. Why do you think League has been around for a decade? Why do you think fighting games like street fighter have been ongoing since the 1980s? Why do you think the Shooter genre, first or third person has been a mainstay since COD? Even outside of multiplayer, why do you think people adore Elden Ring? Outside of specific games, why do you think people adore speedrunning? There's a difference between making something easier and making something more accessible. If you make mario kart "easier" by having a setting that lets someone get bullet bills every item box because they're bad at steering, sure it's "easier" but now it's boring. Where's the challenge? it also doesn't change the fact that if you make the game easier, sure "casuals" as you're putting them can now do things that they may not have been able to, be it steering like in this example or just landing shots they previously wouldn't have. But consider, the players who are already good *also* get the easier game buff, meaning they do even better than before and the cycle repeats. Adding accessibility is the correct way to go about it. Aim assist for one, but there's a difference between aim assist and outright letting the game aim for you. Auto steering in MK8D to go back to my mario kart example, it helps out the younger players, the new players, even the players who may have a disability of some kind (auto accelerate helps here as well for anyone with motor issues) but it also limits them. In certain cases since they can't go for tight drifts or certain shortcuts. And also, a lot of these games you're complaining about are aimed at competitive players. At people who WANT to improve. People who WANT to win. People who WANT to do good at the game. So why are you complaining that you, the non target audience, isn't being accommodated for? And again, if you're truly a casual, these "overcompetitive players" shouldn't be an issue. These "difficult games" shouldn't be a problem. They're not made for you. If despite not being the target audience, you still wish to play, that's perfectly fine, go, do it. I was a casual in Overwatch until about 2018 where I thought I'd try being a bit more competitive, play more, try to improve (which I did, literally by just playing the game but thinking a little more while I did it). But when I was in that casual phase, nothing mattered. A win, a loss, they meant nothing. I was just playing a videogame. If you can't have fun because of someone being better than you, someone who put more effort into something getting better results than you, it's truly just your problem. Just go play some Mario, Pokemon, Persona or just any singleplayer game. Or if multiplayer is truly a must for you, maybe you just really want to play with friends, go try some Risk of Rain. Some Ultimate Chicken Horse. If you really, and I mean REALLY need PVP. I sincerely doubt you're "just a casual" since PVP is *inherently* competitive. You know minecraft servers have non mechanical skill requiring minigames right? They're just videogames. It doesn't change who you are if you lose. It doesn't change who you are if you die 20 times because the enemy team is just better. I guess the other team doesn't go outside and you have that on them? But considering you took the time to comment that I don't think you do. Learn to disconnect success in a game to your self worth. If you're arguing a game needs to be made easier to be fun, it is, honestly and truly, 100% skill issue. Whether it's literally a competitive multiplayer game that was designed to offer challenge to the players, or a singleplayer game like Elden Ring designed to be difficult, that was the intention of the developers. Difficulty is part of the experience. If you don't like it, there's other games, even other HOBBIES you can engage in. I'd say I'm sorry for the lecture, but reading that was like seeing someone put raw chicken in their sandwich and complaining about getting salmonella after eating it. (And if to care about a game with characters, you need a reason to care about said characters, have you considered that a lot of multiplayer games aren't going to be for you as their stories will never be complete? Go play Persona 3 Reload. It has some of the best written character arcs I've ever had the pleasure of seeing play out)

    There are some late game characters i really like Kali from smite being an example. Kali is kinda combo of a late game character and a snowballer. The snowball comes from her passive where an enemy is selected from the enemy team and if she kills them she gets a big heal and the next closest enemy is selected as her next target. She does not do much through the start but when she gets some build up she turns int a total woodchipper just absolutely slicing through enemies. It also doesnt help that her ultimate basically makes it so she cant die for a few seconds.

    Any game that's fun IS a good game. That's what a game is for. If a fun game isn't seen as a good game, then you're seeing games as something other than games.

    Every game has their favorites, mainly because of how much money that character makes. This is nothing new. No need to make a big deal out of this. As long as every character gets skins, there is no issue here.

    I played this game a while back. Stomped all the bot matches then got completely abused (in a way youtube censors) by a real player team. English translation horribe, grind horrible, janky hitboxes and map terrain. It's hard to tell if you can jump up the incline of a ramp or just have to walk all the way around so the ramp is facing you. All in all still 9/10 better then Overwatch. Blizzard just can't make good games. Send Storm Striker back into development and get it some real funding this game is not finished.
