6 we had a full squad and one extra. Each one of them stated the reason for leaving.
5v5
Battlepass
Heroes on the battlepass
And the lie of pve
Flashpoint/push…
Bad balance
Its sad when i offer Overwatch to play with the group they all decline. So sad.
Had a group of 5, including me. They would always be 2 tanks and 2 dps, and i’d take one of the support slots.
They all got bored of the game and moved on in the last 18ish months of OW1. No new content, same stale unchanging gameplay they said. They didnt care about 5v5 at all.
I’m still content playing. This is just not even close to the social game it once was for me. Kinda the opposite now tbh 
Mine have left years ago after the OW hype died out (not counting the random ppl who have been adding me)
Almost all of them but that’s been from OW1, literally nothing to do with OW2.
OW in any form isn’t their game, because no game is built for everyone.
None. Granted, they don’t play as much anymore as they used to, but we still play together pretty regularly.
Back in 2019, think I was over 400. I did onboarding for a guild, so everyone who joined ended up friending me. 
All these years later (post guild), there’s probably 20 or so I see still play, about half of which I play with on occasion. A lot of people have moved on to other games or I ended up dropping from friend list as I don’t interact with them anymore.
0, mostly because I have no friends.
All of them, and I play significantly less now too (I haven’t played for about a month or so). My friends stopped playing before OW2 and only returned after OW2 to try it, leaving again almost immediately.
I’ve actually had more of my friends join since ow2 then those who left after ow1. I find non long term players enjoy the game
There was a lot on the first couple years of OW1, around 20-30% of these people dropped out after. During the content drought around 20-30% of whoever was leftover stuck around for this. After OW2, only 1 friend remains. They don’t even like the way OW2 is going about and we’re both hanging by the threads. I think this next upcoming patch is going to define whether we continue or find another game to play. Either way I’ll stick around the OW forums to express my negative feelings about the game whether people like it or not.
At the end of the day, a lot of the hatred from me towards the game is the fact they’ve baked a battle pass into the game that brings deceptively predatory practices into the game. The cash shop is so/so but only because P2W content is only in half of the battle pass progression. When ever I see a battle pass in any game I proceed with caution and usually find myself seeking different games. Only the legacy of OW keeps me going which is slowly fading, sadly.
Part of the reason I played OW1 even through the content drought was to collect skins from levelling up and taking part in weekly arcade modes (I’ve never bought a loot box in my life). Sadly all new skins are only buyable with the new cash shop currency. This gave me a sense of reward and incentive to play more and come back. Now there is no reward to playing the game. Nothing right now comes even close to old rewards; the game was almost basically free to play before. New skins these days cost more than a single copy of OW1. Even when OW1 was fresh on the market you would get WAY more out of $70 than what you would ever get for buying anything from the cash shop or the battle pass for that matter. Every kind of reward is completely watered down.
All of us
here comes another one of your dishonest topics to support your 6v6 wannaback narrative.
Keep them coming!
My friends still play Overwatch.
Hm…
While none of my friends straight up stopped playing… they definitely lost most of their desire to play, and that goes for me too.
It hit a point where even if I’m grouped with friends, after only 2 or 3 matches I’m just itching to play any other game.
My IRL friends quit overwatch years ago. They stated there were too many females and they didn’t feel comfortable playing the game. They all dropped the game around 2019. They played on console too.
I’m the last one still playing this game.
My IRL friends left overwatch started to leave when Brig dropped, then they all left when Ow 1 devs did the global armor nerf for tanks.
Online friends I see maybe two or one will show up on my list while the rest never came back. Not even when ow 2 launched.
IRL went to CS:Go, Valorant, Apex and the newer monster hunter games.
The biggest problem ow 1 and 2 have it isn’t a good multiplayer to stack with friends.
I’ve had way more fun in just as old Division 2 playing with my friends in a clan. A clan, devs.
Division 2 has less support than Ow 2 yet it has better multiplayer features that let’s me send out notifications to let irl and online people know people in your group are ready to game.
Smh, how are you 7, almost 8 years in a multiplayer and not ha e clan/guild for a team shooter?
We used to have about 9 of us who would play, we’d split the group up and play a few games and then mix the group up again so we’d all get to play with each other.
A few weeks after Ow2 launched a bunch of those friends quit the game and uninstalled, not long after that more and more of them left the game. My last core group friend just told me she had uninstalled. I’ll probably end up freeing up space by uninstalling as well. I’m only at like 6 or 7 in this seasons battlepass to show how often I play now.
Thank goodness there are better games out there that we can still all play together and enjoy. It’s really too bad that Blizz had such a great game and just went in the opposite direction to where it is today.
Most of the friends I had quit Overwatch in OW1 before role queue came out
Jokes on you OP, I never had a single friend who played OW.
Everyone I know quit OW sometime in 2017. I was the crazy one who waited until they shut down OW1 to quit.
