Stadium Development Update in #Overwatch 🏟️ The mode will no longer be expanded with new heroes or maps after each settling at around 3% of daily players in both Ranked and Unranked. The developers will instead support future plans.

That kind of sucks. I mean, I never played it, but now my chance of playing is even less likely.

tbh I thought Stadium was going to die sooner

No point in celebrating this because the core game "suffered" due to new map distribution. "Suffering", as if the core game didn't get 7 new heroes in 3 seasons while Stadium has been eating scraps in terms of the hero pool.

Between the lack of heroes, diminishing update quality, and long queue times, of course the player count is going to be abysmal. Stadium didn't die because people didn't love it enough. Stadium died due to mismanagement.

For those complaining about the lack of new maps, perhaps point the finger at Microsoft's layoffs to Team 4 over the past few years, including environmental artists, instead of Stadium's existence. overwatch.fandom.com/wiki/Team_4#...

Team 4Team 4 is the Blizzard Entertainment team in charge of developing Overwatch and Overwatch 2. As of September 2, 2016, there were roughly 100 developers in Team 4, with five disciplines: Audio, Art, En...overwatch.fandom.com

Never liked Stadium but seeing it cut off so abruptly like this is a bummer for the community. It feels like splitting it between QP & comp, and not removing other queues like arcade first, did a lot of damage.

This is great news for non stadium players. So much of the map design team was taken for a game mode that is really small. I'm hoping we get more maps into the main modes thanks to this. I'll miss the fun moments the mode had... But honestly, i haven't touch it in a while.

Ответ для Glaxsar

iirc stadium had its own team so no resources were being taken from base game. but totally agree and hope that this means that labor will go to the places it needs

Ответ для frogge

I'm hoping they will use the stadium only map and do something to bring them to us. Would love to play the university of Anran and her brother.

Ответ для frogge

They had the same ressources for the maps, which explains why the main mode only got one last year.

Ответ для Cece Heaumeaux

ok that makes sense! in that case i am super happy about this change then!!!

i hope said future plan is adding the stadium map to regular pool i want to play them but i don't want to play a worse version of deadlock to do that

I really dislike this I didn't get my main in stadium, instead we got Freya :/ I really hoped that stadium could have been more. Maybe in the future they'll un-pause it

I for one am shocked that snowball: the mode didn't manage to attract a stable playerbase.

👏👏👏👏👏👏 finally some good fucking news

This is really tragic. I hope if nothing else they make the stadium exclusive maps accessible in skirmish for custom games. Lots of really beautiful maps that might become wholly inaccessible if stadium gets fully sunsetted

I only played this mode once. In South America servers almost nobody is playing Stadium…

this is so damn upsetting. i was looking forward to them adding more heroes, just to see how differently they could be played, or trying to think of powers i'd give each hero. i'm beyond disappointed, & since i don't enjoy regular modes, why keep the game? sucks to be in that 3% 😭

Ответ для Fried

Seriously. It truly felt like a real "Overwatch 2" moment that actually spiced things up. I mostly stopped playing when they changed the icons to the current (imo) abominations and was hoping they'd revert them.......my plan backfired bigly.

Not always, becasue it is quite a time consuming mode, but from time-to-time I liked to jump in, and have something different, more complex then the base game. And not just becasue of the double count for completed games.

I admit, that Stadium is a hardcore mode for players, who know already the basics. And I know, that it is a huge work to balance all the abilities in that mode. But letting it obsolate, not getting any content update, is not good.

Why is it always the stuff I like. 😭 Rocket Racing & Ballistic in Fortnite, now Stadium in Overwatch... 😭😭

Ответ для BakaKuma // Robsi!

I swear players always want something new but when they get it, they rather play with the old

Ответ для BakaKuma // Robsi!

Because the new thing doesn’t meet their unrealistic standards

Ответ для BakaKuma // Robsi!

yeah, my favorite game was battleborn. and my favorite mode in overwatch is stadium.

Ответ для Marxism no Jutsu

Omg battleborn Good old times

Glad all the teams can focus on the main mode now.

Ответ для GreenZombie

selfish.

Ответ для Marxism no Jutsu

Main mode has suffered. 1 new map well stadium got more new maps.

Ответ для GreenZombie

Stadium is better, so it makes more sense

we scrapped pve for this???

Ответ для FranckyFox

No???

Ответ для Glaxsar

Yes. When they scrapped PVE they said they would be focusing on stadiums and other extra content so the game still had something different than OW1. Again they lied to us and prove they only forced us to a "new" game to sell overpriced transactions that cost more than the base game ever did.

Ответ для FranckyFox

It's been a decade, let it go

Ответ для Sky Leite

5 years actually. and they spend 2-3 years having that as a selling point and made an engine change that made all ow1 pve stuff unplayable and have no intention of changing this either. So you know what?

Rip, there goes the best mode Ow had

Ответ для Monrar 📯

They aren’t getting rid of it, they just aren’t updating it anymore

LAME, this news is only going to damage the player count even more

Ответ для Sir

yeah I'm done playing overwatch.

welp

Resources are better used elsewhere.

Ответ для VinylJet57

it was my favorite mode. thanks for that great post.

I love Stadium, but the queue times are so long

I had this idea that I feel like the overwatch devs should’ve done instead just releasing heroes & adding more where instead of adding more heroes they should’ve done a rotation each season of stadium so a set of characters are in one season & then they switch those characters out for the others.

I really don't like Stadium. Wish more time spent on core game. Many things in Stadium should be in basic kit.

I swear them listening to everyone whining about no mirror heroes in the comp mode was such a dumb decision and they should have just stuck to it. It’s partially what killed the mode for me. All for the mode to die anyway. What a bummer.

Fucking L Blizzard!!! I want my mains in Stadium!!!!

i felt so robbed

This is the worst news I’ve heard this year…

Ответ для CodeOwl2e4

I mean, I pay attention to global politics, and genocide and neverending war are much worse news than this. but it is the worst news I've heard in overwatch ever.

if anyone wants to see the blurb about it

Ответ для cyncerely sinical

They really shouldn't have split the mode between casual and competitive and instead focused on the casual aspect of the mode. This game was designed for goofy builds where you can cause mayhem without stressing over meta and optimal builds. I'm still gonna miss 3rd person perspective :(

Disappointing to see it go, but perhaps most of all, to see them throwing things at the wall and coming up with genuinely cool ideas- only to then miss the mark and mismanage them in the months after release They’re great ideas people, but execution on SO much of OW2 has been clumsy at best

This is kinda sad, I really enjoy stadium and was hoping too see more hero’s in it.

So many people dropping in ranked in early rounds makes it frustrating game experience. I do hope some of the powers get transferred as perks in the regular gameplay

I would have played it more if they added characters that I played. A genuinely great gamemode that you could escape to after suffering in normal playlists.

There goes the best mode OW had
