Anyone else just… not have fun with this game anymore? Like even if you win it’s just not fun, every win feels like you lost instead? That you have to try so hard to be even mediocre at the game and it never feels worth it? I feel all this and more.
This game is just… draining to me. My mental health declines while I play it every time but I’m addicted to it.
I really hope you can get rid of that addiction soon. OW2 killed mine, for sure. The game is just unbearable to play for me. I’m just waiting for the crumbs of PvE in the next season.

The game feels empty because of the change hence you have an empty experience
I recommend diverting that energy to something else and intentionally miss a week or two of OW2. Do not bother with completing the weekly or daily also.
I still have a lot of fun playing the game, especially when winning.
Do you play many different heroes or just a few? I play pretty much the entire roster so it’s hard for the game to get stale when every game can feel so different from the last. If you only play a few heroes out of the roster maybe try branching out 
I usually stop playing a game before it starts becoming unfun.
Definitely a good recommendation for anyone new to OW2, but what if the person in question is a veteran player from OW times?
Well many veterans still only play a handful of heroes. Heck, there are people with 2000+ hours that only play 2-3. It’s pretty rare for a player to actually play every hero in the roster. Even though I play every hero, some are much more rare than others, so it’s still nice to play those lesser played heroes on occasion and switch it up. I didn’t play a whole lot of Sym or Sombra in OW1, but in the last year of OW1 and in OW2 I play them quite a bit
Hmm… Perhaps I may be that exception as I did try all heroes, which lead to my answer being diverting said energy to other games or projects while taking the mind off the possible rewards it may miss like the weekly OW2 credits.
Russains and cheaters are the too biggest killers for me.
It used to be that I wanted to play to get better. Now I just play the dumb RNG modes (like Mystery Heroes and Open Queue) because I just want the next 10 minutes of my life to go away.
I got that way. Then I switched over to Deathmatch FFA.
No more matchmaking woes. No more throws. No more jerks to play with. Just kill.
I still enjoy regular 5v5 but I need a break every now and then.
What’d Russians do? 
Keep throwing in QP or comp plz, not mystery heroes too.
make all the characters except support strong again and it will be fun, or make everyone as strong as support is right now, simple fix. Blizzard is too dumb to do it. Dumb company, dumber leads, means a bad a game experience.
Right? The game is even better than it ever was! Just keep on playing!
its almost 8 years old so its showing its age. a lot of gameplay is rehauled like 5v5 and some heroes but its still the same basically so yea i can see people getting bored. i dont blame them…
for me its hard to log on as well but i do want to get those dailies and weeklies done but yea it reminds me of why i quit world of warcraft eventually heh
I just genuinely dont have fun playing it anymore. Every game it seems like I run into a phara/mercy combo and its just the most unfun thing to play against because unless you have really good aim they just solo the game because they can just permanently sit in the air.
Even regardless of that, the game is devoid of fun at this point. Overwatch is a game that should’ve died a while ago but they revived it for a short time by putting the number 2 behind it promising “big changes” and of course our favorite PvE promises. I really only play it when my buddy wants to at this point, never by myself.
Not just that, but the toxicity in this game is just unbearable. “Omg why are you so bad” Maybe its because I have literally 20 hours playing this game? People treat it like its the end of the world if they lose a match on a video game. Grow up.
Exactly. It’s just mentally taxing.
Two days ago I had a lot of fun, save for doing the play 3qp games challenge.
But today I got 3 push maps on a row.
Logged out swiftly after the 3rd consecutive time getting it.
Win or lose that game mode makes me switch to a play something better
That doesn’t sounds very healthy for you my friend.
^ this is good advice too. Playing a lot of different heroes can add an element of fun to it, that maybe you aren’t experiencing.
100% agree
2700 hours and can barely stand 1 night a week of OW, but the fun i do have is often by switching and having actual depth in my pool.
