Update Regarding NTMR Overwatch Today, it is with an extremely heavy heart that we say goodbye to our Overwatch teams: NTMR and NTMR Academy. We thank them for their countless hours of practice and intense matches they gave to our community and esport. At this time, we will be reevaluating our future in Overwatch Esports. As part of this process, we will not field a team for the OWCS Qualifiers, instead dedicating our time and resources to determining whether a future exists for NTMR in the title. We want to thank everyone who has made every moment special, every win a statement, and every mission exciting. From the fans to the staff to the players, we truly enjoyed our time and are grateful for the hard work everyone put into our dream. Please stay tuned for further updates on NTMR's Overwatch division, and thank you for your support and understanding. #FearTheNTMR | #OWCS

Rivals is a horrible game. I'm a overwatch non-pro player and I have been top 5,000,000 since the game's release. I played rivals on initial release and in my mind rivals had always been the amazing game that I played back then as a adult. Going back to it now and trying to enjoy it is impossible. -The whole game is horribly balanced and tanks only exist to be a punching bag for everyone else to charge ultimates off. You have no real strength on tank, always disrespected by everyone, and despite being the weakest and least popular role - still constantly getting nerfed. -Supports are basically just healbots with the lowest skill requirements while having the biggest proportional impact. Their stat numbers are always insanely bloated and we've been in a triple support meta for over a year. -Most ultimates are stupidly overtuned and are either giant circles of healing or damage. Completely boring design with no skill requirement to use that charge up instantly, forcing the entire game to revolve around them and killing any possibility of a neutral game from occurring. Luna Snow ult still lasting 10 seconds in 2026 is a complete joke. -6v6 with no role queue or role lock. Where no one wants to play tank and people instalock 3-5 dps and would rather lose than swap to a second tank to help the team and then blame you as the solo tank anyway even though this is your Nth game in mag jail and all you want to do is just play dps for one game but you can't because no one else ever wants to tank. The reason for all of this is simply because the game is optimised for engagement instead of actually rewarding personal skill. Everything in the game is designed to get you to requeue as often as possible so that even if you go on a losing streak, the game throws in you a bot match to keep you happy. Everything is overtuned and optimised for dopamine spikes so that you don't put down the game, that's why dps deal insane damage, supports heal stupidly high amounts, and ultimates are both overpowered and charged way too fast - all to make low skilled players feel good so they keep playing at the cost of removing any opportunity of having a real neutral game exist. Rivals is horrible. Fix your game

Overwatch is a horrible game. I'm a marvel rivals pro player and I have been top 500 since the game's release. I played overwatch on initial release and in my mind overwatch had always been the amazing game that I played back then as a kid. Going back to it now and trying to enjoy it is impossible. -Tanks are horribly balanced they have some of the highest mobility and damage in the game while also being the hardest to kill which is the only part that I have no qualms with. -Supports are basically just DPS under the "support" category -Most ultimates feel boring to use. -5v5. The reason for all of this is simply because the game is 5v5 instead of 6v6, It is beyond me how the developers have forced themselves into a game mode where they have to make 14/50 heroes COMPLETELY OUTSTAT all the other heroes in order to balance 5v5. Overwatch is horrible. Fix your game.

OWCS PRE-SEASON BOOTCAMP CHAMPIONS 🥇🔥 نتوج بالبطولة التحضيرية لأوفرواتش في نسختها الأولى، مبروك أبطالنا مجرد بداية 🫡🧠 #TwistTheGame #OWCS

That's a wrap for Bootcamp. What an insane turnout in viewership over the weekend. Thank you to @Avast_o for holding it down with me and @AchiliosCasts for the classic duo reunion on cast. A very exciting week for Overwatch overall and a great tournament to top it all off.

@TwisMinds We have an English stream too 😭

Our backline is cleaning the point 🧹 #TwistTheGame

Rivals won't get a neutral because in order to do that you'd have to nerf just about everything across the board. All healing, damage, and ult charge would need a global nerf because it's all just insanely overtuned. But they know it's overtuned because its done that way on purpose. They chose to make the game that way because they know that maximising engagement means doing all the things with as big of the numbers as possible. Bigger more frequent ults that do more damage and win fights almost instantly that then require equally broken insane support ults to counter them so that everyone has their dopamine spiked by getting a new big flashy ult every 30-60 seconds.

The Marvel Rivals community starting to wake up… In the meantime guys there’s this game called Overwatch (not 2) that outside of tanks having 3-4x the HP with the same/more damage than everyone else is pretty peak rn 👀 Competition is key!

@Unsaltedsalt__ The 2 cakes ending is actually the best ending for everyone but people are just too short sighted and petty to see it. Modern gaming discourse is pure cancer unfortunately.

THE SECRET 3rd ENDING, who would’ve thought

Yea it was definitely the OW side that was talking shit at the start when OW was doing considerably worse than MR and not the other way around with MR players using the opportunity to endlessly post player numbers and praying for OW to die. You are so smart, truly the most intelligent person to ever reply to me.

@imAVRL Ready for peace from day 1 but posting about it immediately to cause the discourse makes a lot of sense.

What happened to all the Rivals loudmouths spamming Steam numbers?

@imperatorfps Keep coping. OW had MR beat long before the current patch. Stats from December 2025: newzoo.com/resources/rank…

People like this that are on Overwatch payroll (beating a dead horse) will try and post this screenshot and say HAH! We told you the tables would turn!! - OW Season 1 launch (5 new heroes) WITH drops - Marvel Rivals is at end of season, no more drops - Time: Late & Low viewership for Rivals & Fresh Launch for OW - Sponsored streamers for the launch of their shitty season Give it a week or two and these people will be quiet again ^_^

@ARIG04291991 Yea I tried doing that, then they decided to keep going for a full year non-stop. Gloves are off now, they don't deserve shit.

@imAVRL t's called being the better person tbh. Also, both games are doing good to great, be it you want to accept that or not; putting aside bad communities, which both have their bad apples, don't even try to say they don't. Doing so is pure delusion and, frankly, pure dumb bias.

@iskaaiskaaboc @Franchuutoo It is hilarious because you bozos have been calling OW dead since MR released and yet time and time again OW proves it's more alive than ever. Keep crying.

@Franchuutoo @imAVRL Hilarious

Hilarious

@dmrlotus1sa x.com/imAVRL/status/… This report is from December last year. OW was bigger than MR even before the huge update.

@imAVRL Overwatch has just launched a new season and 5 new hero's, of course its gonna be rivals. For a true comparison, show it again a month after the seasons release and see where we're at then

@AdamKotlyanski @ethanFES The Newzoo report is from DECEMBER 2025. Holyshit you are so dumb.

@imAVRL @ethanFES This is not what I asked bozo, give me a proof of 20%, no shit a game just got update and booming vs a game at the end of the season
