And yet I’ve seen many negative posts say otherwise, and I strongly disagree. The voices, what they say, and character interaction are part of what made me love this game and stay with it since 2018.
The another major factor that made this game so special is trying out all the unique heroes and cool abilities.
Lastly, the thing that actually kept me here for 3+ years is the workshop. Probably the most magical thing of all. Finding cool modes and finding out how they work, then making something new. I have over 800 hours in the workshop on PC alone. I’ve made dozens of modes, most of which are based on other modes, but more complex and I usually recode everything from scratch.
Though, with the content super drought, that magic was lost-- Things got stale, and people left.
I could create I really fun mode in the workshop, but getting anyone to join nowadays is damn near impossible.
Ofc, With Overwatch 2, there’s hope. After playing sojourn in the beta, I couldn’t go back. She is by far my favorite hero rn as she is extremely aim intensive and her rail gun is fun to use. No other hero (other than maybe Ana, my former main) compares with Sojourn. But then I see people on here say she has ‘no personality’ and has a ‘bland, generic kit’. ??? WHAT? Wdym?
The forums are not a representation of how all of us feel. There can be much negativity of here at times, and yes, blizzard has let us down in the past, but I have hope with overwatch 2 and I think they can bring back the magic of this game.
Overwatch isn’t boring, nor does it have ‘generic characters’ with ‘no personality’. It’s a fun game, but it just needs the upgrade we’ve all been awaiting.
TLDR: Overwatch’s Heroes have great personality, and fun kits. The magic of the game might have faded during the content drought, but I have confidence that OW2 can bring it back.
