Overwatch Classic makes it impossible to go back

Holy. It is so wildly better. Just feels like you’re actually playing a character who impacts the game. Standard Overwatch these days has these gigantic glaring problems that have only been getting worse over time and it’s clear just how much of a shell of its former self the game is now.

Movement creep has been crazy. Health creep has been crazy. Tank power creep has been crazy. Sustain creep has been crazy. Nothing dies without massive focus fire and then that thing absolutely melts because the tanks are monstrous.

Hog with hook 1.0 feels balanced in comparison to the modern day. That’s outrageous. He was one of the biggest problem characters in the original game. But in OW1 he was killable. You didn’t need 4 players focus firing him with headshots. 1 player playing very well could do it in the clutch. Impossible today. Junkrat can’t kill Hog with a full magazine and both mines.

Yes. I do feel like OWC was more tactical, slowed down a bit enough to where not everything felt like a mad rush to get to wherever.

I just love having no raid boss tanks, no infinite healing/cleanses/immunities, being able to kill something when I intend to kill it, instead of having my efforts negated by bloated power creep over and over.

It’s way more chill, way more fun.

Tanks aren’t meant to be 1v1’d, so the whole Junkrat Vs Roadhog thing makes sense. Junkrat will shred through his health very fast, but can’t reliably kill him on his own. That’s good, tanks are supposed to be that way.
