Last week's Bombcast comments about Overwatch where they wondered if Overwatch sort of...dynamically balances...made me wonder too (I believe they referenced Mario Party).
The number of times a control point gets to 99% and then the momentum shifts (often in favor of the previously losing team) is suspicious. I mean, nearly impossible suspicious. I don't like getting stomped, nor is it fun to just dominate if your team is accidentally good, but it's just as frustrating to be winning and suddenly be like, "How did we get team wiped? Are they doing more damage? How are they getting ultimates so fast?"
I wonder if there is any reasonable way to define and track some of this stuff. I have fun playing, but the sheer quantity of "we're going to lose" or "we're going to win" followed by "what the hell is happening?" really makes me wonder. I've played a ton of shooters and I've never seen one where the balance shifted this fast, or this aggressively.
