Exactly. I used to play OW1 all day every day. I can’t stand OW2 for more than few games.
Just played after a month break. Maybe like 3-4 hours? I think I’m done for another month.

It’s not like you’re dependent like smokers or alcoholics. Literally just quit.

That sounds more like a you problem than an OW2 problem tbh. Not everyone can be really good at the game. If trying to be better is making the game a worse experience just stick to more casual modes that don’t rate you against others
Personally I only find a few heroes enjoyable now (Ana, Baptiste, LW mostly) and I don’t think it’s anything to do with the game in its current state and more-so that I’m just a different person now than I was when the game was new.

Come on, don’t exaggerate it. This “sequel” is so useless that it ended up curing my gaming addiction by avoiding playing it.

You have 112 days of game time. Wouldn’t you expect to be burnt out from the game at that point? Have you ever been able to spend that much time doing something and still enjoy it?

This sound like typical burn out. Youre probably playing too much.
Diversify your time into several other things, might be games might be other activities. Have an OW break for a bit.

Even casual modes rate you against others, it’s literally what matchmaking does.
It’s what playing against matchmaking does. You reward for trying to improve is harder games, sometimes absurdly harder.

If you think playing quick play with a hidden rating is comparable to ranked where it’s grown in your face after every loss Idk what to tell you. Personal rank doesn’t matter to me so I don’t care about going up or down much but to some people it’s really frustrating and stressful
Rank matters little to me, but results of one do matter.
It depends.
I played 1000 some hours of UT1999 and only stopped cause the game died.
I played 3800 hours of TF2 and still login even though it hasn’t had a real update in 10 years.
I have 6000 hours at work and still enjoy what i do.
I have 10k+ doing arts and crafts and even ran an art program and still binge craft and love it.
I can’t even count how many hours i got in MtG (magic the gathering) since what 1996? and still play as often as i can.
I still would login to OW daily and have fun if they never downgraded to OW2.
Just is what it is… * sad *
Edit: I also have god only knows how many hours in WoW until i quit in cata, blizzard just has a way of getting overly meta on itself and ruining the fun.

If it’s the battlepass that’s making you feel that way, then you should take a break for a bit and then when you come back stop hard focussing on it and just play the game normally
I just remembered a prime example of a match where I won and it was a miserable experience even with the victory.
Mystery Heroes: Close match. I got a 4k with Junkrat ult and stopped the payload from progressing at one point. At the very end, enemy Lucio just spun around the payload and walls near the payload. Nobody even tried to kill him but me, as Rein.
I swung and hit him many times, bringing him low, but nobody would follow through. At one point I even got so done with him I solo ulted him and still nobody followed through, so I charged him head on, except it knocked him over a wall instead of pinning him like it’s supposed to.
We won by the skin of our teeth but it sucked. NOBODY would do anything about the Lucio BUT ME and we almost lost because of a single Lucio spinning around the payload and booping people off of it, inching the payload closer and closer to his team’s victory. It got so close, like an actual hundredth of a millimeter away from him winning just by doing that.
I never got so close to going off on my own team in team chat than that one match.
The wins are either extremely frustrating and unfun, or so easy that you could just use your feet and still win, no inbetween.

Was playing the game tiny bit but with how Mei’s is currently still forced to have rely on teammates with helping to finish kills which barely happens as of late. Just rather play Forza 5 instead
The core game is still fun so I would suggest limiting your play time because of the bad matchmaking the longer you play the worse it will get for you. If you have the opportunity I would stack with some friends it feels a lot better then solo queue.
Stacking with friends to abuse the matchmaker and stomp solo q players should never be a solution, and I detest people that do so. One of the reasons I quit, constantly put against 5 and 4 stacks as solo q who utterly dominate my team literally every time because they are coordinated and we are not.

Abuse the matchmaker, before matchmaker abuses you.
Thats what happens when you spend too much time on a game and the reason why I no longer play dbd a lot.
Take a long break. It’ll help.
Say it for yourself.
Sir, dependency and addiction are two different things and that’s not how addiction works xd
well thats how rigging works. zero satisfaction. completely unfulfilling. which is why every match should be a push map so that the rigging ends quickly.
this is likely bc you’re good at the game. so you feel cheated nearly endlessly. which you are cheated. but by the devs directly themselves. make an *** account and you’ll encounter less rigging and reliable team mates. however, if your effectiveness increases, so will rigging.
