I dont mean to sound aggressive with my title, but I’m genuinely curious for the people who still play the game on a near day-by-day basis.
What keeps you coming back to the game? What gives you the drive to keep playing the game?

It’s fun, I don’t get tilted by mundane things so i don’t really have a reason to dislike the game. It’s literally just fun. Guns feel amazing gameplay is amazing. Losing doesn’t feel as bad as in other games if i’m performing well for my standards.
Bottom line, the game is fun and good.

Overwatch has kind of devolved to a thing I mainly do with friends. We log in, goof around in QP/arcade for some time (Attack Bastion? Heck yeah!) and call it a day. Although sometimes, I do enjoy trying to climb in comp. It’s fun to watch myself improve.

I haven’t “beaten” it.
Most of my gaming is driven by completionist ideals and story intrigue. OW can’t be completed and has a story that isn’t really addressed, let alone concluded, in game so I have a harder time truly abandoning it unlike say HZD. HZD was objectively something I enjoyed more, but after beating the story, beating the Frozen Wilds DLC, finding most of the collectibles, and aquiring every armor set I just have less drive to play it and most other non-OW games I own.

I enjoy gaming with my friends, and OW is one of the games that we all own

when its fun, its actually freaking fun… but when its not which is 85% of the time it’s just annoying, down right bullcrap what the dev’s are putting the players through and the fact that they refuse absolutely refuse to put in role que which would save this games skin it just shows how out of touch they completely are so people are leaving, getting bored, moving to places where their voices actually matter still and if you think otherwise you are blind as all crap to what’s truly happening at blizzard you don’t think that’s not leaking over to here? LOL get woke people.
I’d honestly play poe more if their cosmetics didn’t cost a arm and a leg and be forever gone from here.

It is fun.
I stopped playing it seriously (comp) so my rank dropped a bit, but it’s a lot easier to play a game when you play for fun instead of for imaginary points.

9/10 games in overwatch (in every gamemode) are absolute garbage. Curb stomp, someone’s toxic, someone’s throwing, you name it. But that 1/10 games is so good, everyone gets along, it’s a good game, the losers aren’t mega salty, and it is bliss. That 1/10 games is why I still play this game.

i enjoy playing the game with my 2 children, 1v2. Hearing their squeals of laughter as they beat me (which has become increasingly frequent) and talking about the game just binds us together. I am pretty much a nerd and my job is very physically demanding with me working 361 days a year, 10-12 hours a day. So this is the best form of father-children bonding we can think of whereby i am resting yet doing an activity together.
Outside of family play time, i have not really played much, if at all, since September 2018 although i was pretty much clocking in 2-3 hours daily since March. It is not because i do not enjoy the game but because towards the end of the year, things get really busy for me. Also, Soul Calibur 6 got released and i was building a new PC.
Why do i enjoy the game? Well, it is the human element. Years of gaming versus AI in single player games, one can and will notice a pattern displayed by the AI and it becomes easy to beat once that pattern is discerned and analysed. It is all a matter of execution and planning. The sense of anticipation and adjusting-on-the-fly is gone.
On the other hand, real life sports, such as basketball when i was still playing is full of moments of instant decision making, adjustments, and of course, that sense of fulfilment from having satisfied one’s competitive nature.
While there are other games which do that such as CS:GO, OW is unique because of its MOBA-ish style of play and I really do like that because it is very much akin to a cRPG FPS style.
FUN!

I still enjoy it, sure there are bad matches and toxic players but also great ones with superbly friendly players.
Plus, stumbling across the Overmoji Café bunch gave me a renewed passion for the game, its always more fun with friends

Because it gives me pain and suffering like no other game can.

I just turn off my brain, go to AI mode and start killing things, and it also deal with rpg class elements that I enjoy in mmorpgs. But most of all, I enjoy the social aspect. If I didn’t care about the social aspect, I would play Sword Art Online: Fetal Bullet or Monster Hunter World solo. I just get far too addicted to MMORPG if I do play them, so I try to avoid them.
When I don’t want to kill things, I play Stardew Valley, My Time in Portia, and Cities: Skyline.
Other than that, I have hundreds of games backlog. Still didn’t finish all my Assassin Creed games, and waifu/weeb games.
I still enjoy Overwatch because it’s still enjoyable. Pro tip, if you lose multiple matches in a row or get pissed off after a match, go do something else. Play quickplay, eat a bagel, make a bagel, pet a dog, buy a dog, drive around, sleep, nap, play Minecraft, etc.
Breaks are an essential part of why I enjoy Overwatch. It keeps me from playing tilted so that I don’t get reported and so that I can focus on doing well in the game, not on how much I want to strangle that one a**hat who was a toxic pos in my last game.
My drive at becoming better at the game. I know I can be better what keeps me playing is knowing I can be better.

I haven’t come across any toxic people, and I have been playing consistently well with Hanzo recently.
