6v6 Overwatch is better than Marvel Rivals

General Discussion

Man, I’ve been playing Marvel Rivals and I’m having way more fun than I ever did with Overwatch lately. It’s honestly crazy how different it feels, even though on paper the games are super similar.

I keep telling my friends Marvel Rivals feels like Overwatch 1 back when it was actually good. And it’s not just because it’s something new. I’ve been playing hero shooters for years now. It’s more about how the game flows. Matches feel fairer one death doesn’t instantly throw the whole match anymore. You can actually recover if someone messes up or has a bad game, instead of feeling like you’re doomed the second something goes wrong in 5v5. It’s just less frustrating overall.

Queue times are faster too, so you’re actually playing more and waiting less, which helps a ton. Plus, the matches are way more dynamic there’s always something happening that keeps you locked in and wanting to play better. The game just feels right. Like, this is the way hero shooters were supposed to be played. Honestly, if they bring back two-point capture maps, it would be damn near perfect.

It also blows my mind that I’m already Diamond in Marvel Rivals but I’m stuck Gold 1 in Overwatch. Same player, same skills just a better game structure that actually lets you shine instead of getting dragged down by weird matchmaking or one bad fight ruining everything.

I just hope the devs and the community realize that sometimes the old ways were better and it’s okay to admit that. It’s how you actually make games fun again.

6v6 OW2 is the Peak Experience, either RQ or OQ. Theres nothing that can change my mind about that :pray: :ok_hand: :raised_hands:

Rivals is different and I will say that the early years of OW were mainly so godly, because it was a completely new concept for many people and Blizzard was a great company back then.

I still think that currently Rivals is much more fun (personal preference), because I dont really care about the “pure blood shooter” aspect. Main point that I still dont like about OW is the balance and how some heroes just utterly ruin games.

Spiderman is becoming one of the biggest hated heroes in Rivals, but nothing can even compare to play against a good Widow, Mauga, Sombra, Ana, Hanzo and some other trashy heroes, who just reduce the fun in the game to zero, no matter how strong or weak the heroes are.

Balance is OW main problem and they can bring out as many good new things as they want, but ever since the Widow Mythic released, the game quality is so poor that I was glad that I have Rivals.

I would come back to OW and will play S16, but as long as the game is in such a state, I dont think that OW can be fun for more than maybe 3 games a day…
