Over the last few years I’ve moved to a ‘developing nation’ and it’s taken some time to get a system able to play my favourite game - Overwatch.
I wanted to sound out peoples feelings about OW2, how does it feel to you? Have you played since launch? How has the game felt to you? Has it improved, declined?
My feeling since returning is it feels more dead than the end of OW1. In game no one uses voice anymore, the matchmaking bizarrely puts me in either bronze games or diamond games and each game feels entirely dependent on the tank. If the tank is bad, you’re going to lose. Also, as a support main, it feels I can have very little effect on the match outcome even if I do healing equal to both the enemy healer’s output combined.
Also, how the hell do you rank up in competitive? I won 5 games out of 6 and went down a rank?
Regardless if I play well, or flop, every game just leaves a sour taste. I used to be able to play 12 hours of OW1 and still want more, whereas OW2 feels bland after a game or two.
I won’t speak about the shop or the egregious monitisation now present, as unfortunately that’s part of the free play model.
Maybe I’ve just become a noob in my sebatical which I’ll willingly accept, but some parts of OW2 just don’t feel right. Does anyone agree?
