It’s going to overwrite it
One day you’re gonna wake up and Blizz launcher will have a 50gb update, and overwatch will be replaced with a new client
It will be the same game as current, just with improved engine/sound/shaders, new heroes and modes,
and if you bought OW2 then you simply get new default skins and access to the PvE menu
No it is not, “Overwatch 2” is still Overwatch with a ton of balance changes at once, that is labeled “2” because they need something “new”.
Overwatch 2 is still not coming for a long time
Imo, OW2 should have been pve stuff while ow1 was pvp stuff.
If ONLY some people quit over it, and they get a lot more people in. more importantly, They get in a lot more support players.
Then it would be fine.
A lot of people are pressing X to doubt really hard.
We are looking at a game where no one in the overwatch team has even tried to say why people would want to play support in OW2.
They have said plenty on why it will be more fun to DPS, they have said a lot around Tanks, and complete silence on Supports.
We know that support will be the bottle neck. We know that the game looks like garbage to play as from a support perspective.
Some of us know that support players are much more likely to PvE than PvP, because we have worked in the industry.
This looks like it will be a complete disaster, and it looks extremely strongly like it will be a complete disaster.
Except for PvE. PvE may be good.
The silence over the support role is EXTRMELY telling.
I get it, they haven’t released the game yet. But it isn’t like we haven’t had the same devs looking after OW1 for years, and we don’t know their “quirks”
We all see the same disaster coming, and nothing from the dev team has given anyone any kind of confidence.
They want to communicate, they need to start communicating over the support role. Or they risk losing the players before the game even releases.
Maybe in 15 years, they’ll make an Overwatch Classic, just like they did with WoW :)…
They literally have talked about a Moira rework, Support Sym possible rework, how Support and tank will get multiple new heroes, and literally LAST livestream a day ago said they are gonna work on making them feel better to play due to feedback from this week’s Alpha.
It’s not a doomsday event, it’s gonna be fine lol. There are gonna be multiple new supp heroes, some of the current ones will be changed, overall the role will probably feel different but that’s ok, it’s still going to be a popular role, there’s too many beloved heroes in said role
Jeff also thought about this, which is why they didn’t do it!
if you can’t figure it out it’s on you, you fell for blizzard’s “redefining sequels” marketing spiel
