After pouring tons of hours into OW1, OW2 pace feels WAY off. Every game now honestly feels more like Team deathmatch than how OW1 used to play.
I attribute this to 5vs5 and losing a tank. Most of the tank roster now just feels useless, just 1 tank stranded by themselves without the support tank feels bad.
The frontline is gone, everyone is just off doing their own thing, making every “teamfight” just feel like random skirmishes. Just feels bad, the teamwork was one of the thing I enjoyed most about OW1, now feels like any random TDM with heroes and special abilities. If you didn’t know what the OW heroes looked like, this might as well be Destiny 2 or any other hero shooter game.
The 2nd tank is what made OW OW, and made it feel like you were PART of a team, moving forward, taking ground, winning teamfights. The second tank was meant to synergize with the “main” tank, or peel/keep flankers at bay. All of that is gone, now you have 1 tank, who’s role is to what? Shield what? or who? No one stands behind you, everyone is just off doing their own thing.
1 tank is now expected to tank damage, peel off flankers, control the frontline and take space? With all the CC removed, how? To me, this is the biggest downfall of OW2, turning it more into a COD type TDM with special powers than the OW i used to enjoy.
Maybe I’m in the minority, can’t really tell from forums the % of ppl who enjoy vs dislike OW2. What do you guys think?
