I havent had this much fun in OW since the early days of 1. Lets be honest 1 in the last few years has been a chore to play. Way too much shields and CC, OW2 feels like the game is on crack and is SO much faster and more fun to play. It is such a blast and while I was very critical before, this is exactly what OW needed. I can’t believe how much fun this game is.
I was very critical of it being a barebones sequel, but its actually very much a sequel just because the game plays SO much different than 1. The game feels 100x more balanced and you no longer NEED to switch to counter, everything for the most part feels viable.
I hope they don’t listen to the complainers because my God this is the best thing to happen in OW in forever. Everything is faster and more action packed.
If I had any complaint I feel like playing the old maps are boring compared to the new ones which truly feel like they have 5 v 5 in mind. BRAVO BLIZZARD Im shocked how much I am enjoying this.

I think some people are masochistic. Even if they like 6v6 more, why would they claim to go back to 2cp and the likes with double shield, dps cc, and the threat of a subtank stopping your every move. Don’t forget being hacked for 4 seconds.
They can like 6v6 more and still prefer to play the 5v5 balance until blizzard takes notice.
Claiming they are going back to OW1 is weird. OW1 is boring and only fun for heroes like Hanzo, which is why I mained him (you could essentially shoot from afar while other people played ow1, so less cc in general).
Pharah, sombra, Orisa, heroes that felt awful in OW1 already feel insanely good in OW2.

Because people like to play reactive and not have to think too hard

Going back to OW1 is legit going to feel impossible, OW2 is just too much fun

All I’m reading here is some DPS players didnt like being shut down by tanks or shields so that’s why they really like OW2 right now

True. OW2 is a mess but I had so much fun. I played with my friend, I played new Orisa, had no idea what I was doing, and I had no idea where I was going in the new maps. I sucked, but we laughed and screamed together. It felt like OW1 all over again. So fresh.

OW1 has been a chore to play since probably 2019. Im so glad its disappearing, OW2 is what OW needs

I didnt hear a no so I’m gonna say that’s exactly what it is
Shut down? All the time? I enjoy playing the game, especially if I have to queue over 15 minutes for a single game in OW1.
What are your queue times like now? I’ve still seen them in the 6 minute range during the beta.
And you and I both know the game has more DPS than anything else.
I hope you dont expect the queue times to improve drastically for you

The gameplay has drasticly improved per any wait time. Your gameplay mistakes are more critical when you don’t just sit behind two shields.
Even if you went to 6v6 without double shield, you would have the same old boring tank pairings all the time.
You’re advocating for like Overwatch 1.5 instead of a new game everyone was crying for.
They just need to add some of the game flavor back (like being on fire). The game is finally moving towards a shooter game, what it supposedly identifies as, but masochistic players just want two tanks, tons of heals and the ability to shut down every dps without improving positining or aim.

OW2 is 100x better than OW1 in negative rates, i mean OW2 has better negative but true rates than OW1
It’s crazy how little has changed with OW2. 5v5 is obviously just a balance change and we’ve had some minor visual changes and some audio downgrades but that’s about it.
Really not sure what was being worked on for so long

The changes are really good though and it does play better IMO. New mode is awesome, tank changes are great and the game definitely has more individual impact. This is good
Also we haven’t seen everything so I’m sure more is and has been done
