The gunplay feels great with the movement. No random recoil or bot movement like in Val. What doesn’t feel great is having a shield in your face from Sigma with grasp and CC. Get rid of his shield, worst designed tank in the game. Mirror on poke maps or lose.
Sigma was the reason for 5v5 and you still didn’t rework him. Sigma is the hero that has made more fps players quit your game than any other hero bet.
You have the coolest sniper characters. Widow and Hanzo, but you gave Widow falloff what a wack change. You got Cass getting outranged by every hitscan when he’s all about his gun, losing flashbang which was stronger than hinder. We’re FINALLY getting a new dps hero which is cool, but they’re a projectile who can’t crit from the looks of it. DPS heroes bring the hype from the fps scene, you only making one of them from Overwatch 2’s launch has killed all the hype for the game. If you made a new hitscan as cool as Ashe was on release this game would have a huge flux of players. We got to see Apex pro’s Timmy, Aceu on Sojourn on OW2 release.
Map design is the best there is. With payload maps, control maps.
Besides 2cp, which they’re bringing back in the form of 5cp. Hey guys you hated 2cp, so here’s 5cp reskinned so you can have even longer games with the last point being same as 2cp with broken stall. The games gonna be teams only capping 4 points. Imagine that going into overtime with nobody getting progress on the 5th point cause of the broken spawns/ stall. The games are going to last forever. You have the potential to make the best maps in the game, Samoa is amazing. Don’t hit us with these garbage 2cp reskins.

He wasn’t…
DPS players were…
No one was playing tank because tanks where garbage, queue times went through the roof DPS whined, game got fundamentally changed.

5v5 didn’t have a singular cause, it was many things piling up and cascading
I agree with OP though, OW2 has so much more potential that’s being currently squandered by absurd cash shop and abandonment of hardcore pve stuff

tanks were strong, boring though. none of them are aim intensive. Double shield was a skilless comp and if you didn’t mirror it was a loss most the time, making tanking even more boring. Double shield made Overwatch the worst fps of all time.
5v5 did fix queue times though you’re right about that. People still don’t want to play tank when they’re raid bosses. Mauga, Hog rework are gonna have people playing tank. Mauga is interesting being hitscan, landing crits. He would be a good hero if Sigma didn’t exist. Sigma is the better poke hero having a shield, grasp and CC with poke damage.

It has potential but is ruined by greed, laziness and incompetency.

They had this potential but it’s all but squandered
What would have saved tank role was if oriisa sigma never happened and instead jq mauga and rammatra were added in ow1 along with tank fist.
They should have been firm with ranges no poke for tank.

you shouldn’t have poke damage if you have a shield. That’s why Rein is the 2nd best designed tank next to Winston.

Exactly its such a simple thing and yet they let a game rot for this.
Something being aim intensive =/= something being fun. Being aggressive as rein is much more engaging then sitting 1 mile from the fight playing point and click adventure.
Tanks are not raid bosses, they where in S1 but have been consistently nerfed since then now playing tank you either melt the second your supports turn away or you get hard pocketed, do heck all and never die, neither is fun.
Double shield meta despite its name wasn’t enabled by sigma, it was enabled by baptiste and his massive aoe burst healing. If baptiste wasn’t played people just dove past the shields. (And by the end of ow1 double shield wasn’t played anymore)
I don’t touch tank cause they don’t require that much aim. Rather work on my aim mechanics playing dps or Illari. Get that dopamine from dinks.
Double shield was meta because it was the easiest comp to play that shutdown hitscans the people who are actually skilled at the game, regardless if Bapt was played or not. Even if you got passed the shields, Sigma still has rock, Orisa had Fortify. You could have Torb behind that with a turret, shotgun, anti dive heroes. People didn’t know how to play dive after bunker/ double shield. They just crutched the easier comp, every tank player was boosted by it. They still are to this day with Sigma with how broken he is on poke maps. Finding a good dive tank is almost impossible nowadays.
Overwatch one had the potential to be the best fps; Overwatch 2… (tumbleweed)…
P.s Ashe’s reveal was badass; she is and will always be dope. Back in the glory days with the old team. All the hero reveals were badass and so exciting, now it’s like ‘meh’. Even watching that footage is so nostalgic. Modern Overwatch is a shadow of itself.
how literally how was he the reason
