At first I thought that it would be boring because of the no role queue and no limitations but even though it’s far more casual I’m having lots of fun. I kinda miss 2016 now
PD: The old portraits give me a lot of nostalgia

Agreed, been having a blast.
Also kind of reminded me of how crazy DPS were back in the day, they absolutely dominate the lobby. I played as Widow with three other Widows and it took the enemy team shifting to three Winston’s and a Genji to stop us (barely).
Mercy feels awful as far as movement is concerned and mass rezzes generally just end up with her dead, and then the team dying a second time. And yet I’m still enjoying her.
Sym is… Sym, we tried to go in with six Syms and a Lucio for speed, but got completely wiped.

oh yeah, as a main mercy I tried to use her mass revive and well, her movement hurts me. Glad they changed it in OW 2
Mercy’s classic movement has its quirks, but people really have lost the plot with her positioning. She’s way more forgiving now and 10x more mobile than she ever was before. Imagine GA still moving her slowly in a straight line today lol
Sym 1.0 was extremely situational. Very fun, my original main, and I love her to this day. Wait until Sym 2.0 cause honestly she ate.

theres definitely things where im like, man im glad they changed that
but overall i totally get why people miss it. it was really just chaotic, and i think the fact that the game was so new really helped. going into enemy territory straight from spawn as sym is absolutely hilarious. killing someone and not having to watch her get rezzed is so fun. or at least if they are rezzed you know they’re using a whole ult to do it.
there’s still stuff like the old ui, engine and overall feel that theyll never be able to bring back, but im enjoying this.
yeah man, that’s why I’m excited to try the “new” 6v6 next season, it may be peak overwatch
very hit or miss depending on team and game in general – not just winning or losing but sometimes you cant even do anything or its an absolute crush which isnt fun for me. I think what most people wanted was 6vs6 role queue with either all the updates to current day or at least the last days of OW 1.

true, I hope they add role queue 6v6 in the following weeks
It’s the most fun I’ve had with Overwatch in a long time, though I’m sure by the time the next few days have passed I’ll welcome the removal of no limits.
For me this was new because i started playing in the mid 2018. All i can say is chaotic and fun.
There was a reason for it. You had little self agency as Mercy to deal with threats when say no one on your team decided to ever help you. You were completely dependent upon their position for your own mobility. By the way, you are the pacifist. You literally can’t kill anyone yourself. You have to deal with being one of the number 1 targets everyone wants to kill all game. Not a fun position to be in.
She got those things for a reason. Matters aren’t helped much either when the only supports you have are Zen, Mercy, and Lucio.
They changed it in ow1 !
Things actually die a lot more easily. I’m so surprised how different the game feels without lots of aoe healing and immortality abilties.
Temple of Anubis, 1st checkpoint place turrets and mass kill everyone. 
good times
