People don’t hate OW, they hate the direction OW2 is going on. Disagreeing with the direction of OW2 doesn’t mean they should leave. It means they should let Blizzard know that they don’t like the direction OW2 is headed in.
I love OW, but I hate EVERY single change that OW2 has done to OW1. There is a great many people that hate a lot of the new changes to OW in OW2. There isn’t an equivical game to OW out there besides Paladins and TF2, and those are infinitely worse than OW. Thus the ONLY way to get back what we want IS to hate on OW2. Its either let OW2 kill your love, or kill OW2, and so the hate keeps spreading.

The thing is that all the major changes to OW aren’t going away any time soon (5v5, tank reworks, etc)
Okay… and how will you guys “kill OW2” lol

I always saw it as people who hate OW2 love OW1.

i actually dont care which way they go. i do like things about 6v6 and 5v5 in general. i do wonder if they will have a 6v6 version in the arcade tho and wonder if they would just delete passives for all roles in that mode
There are bad actors mixed in with people who like just ow1.
There are people who got annoyed at blizzard 3 years ago, and are now rooting for their failure.
They will gladly upvote and echo any negative criticism of the game, even if they don’t agree. They don’t play ow1, they just don’t want ANYTHING ow related to be successful.
It’s inevitable that some people will sincerely prefer ow1 and will be dissapointed at ow2. But it’s hard to tell these two groups apart.

That doesn’t mean you can’t criticize them

Personally I don’t hate the gameplay or the game itself, I hate how long it took to make a close copy of OW1 while having to sacrifice communication from devs and content for 3 years.

Imma be real: TF2 is better than OW. Unlike Overwatch, it’s not designed to be competitive nor balanced. It’s dumb fun

Careful guys, the anti-doomer secret squad is still here.
The mismanagement of this game is mindboggling.

It will kill itself on its own. People expect a sequel and it is just a downgrade to the same game. Even those who actually like the changes should admit that there isn’t enough new stuff to begin with.

Meh I don’t really buy it. Back when the devs were dead silent on OW2 this forum was a cesspool of toxicity towards OW1. And now the doomers treat OW1 as this master piece being taken from them lol. When OW3 is announced they will then do the same for OW2.

Are infinitely worse? Overwatch is fun and all, but it has waaaay too many prominent issues to deem definitely better than its competition, especially TF2
That’s why they’re changing the game so much my dude
Where is that quote from? Never read anyone saying that.
Isnt it easier to respond to that dude than creating a new thread? 
Some people voice concerns but its 50/50 if they voice concerns or just bluntly hate the game. More “pure hating” on the game recently.
Sorry but I have to say this: its not that different. It plays a bit faster and the dynamic changed yes. But the rest like 80% of the game is still the same. If you dont like the 20% and they are so important to you then… though luck.
If people liked OW1 they will like OW2.
If people liked OW2 they liked OW1.
There is only a “preferred” that is important here. But if you say “I will quit OW because of OW2” then you never really liked OW1 to begin with.
You know that “doomer” is a word to describe people that blandly hate OW no matter what? So why is this negative to try to talk some sense into them lol

One would think that after smashing your face on a brick wall a billion times, you’d stop, but I suppose I’m not surprised you’d want to keep going.
I’m not sure why he chose that wording, wouldn’t it be better to have OW1 just remain playable? Would split players, sure, but maybe that’s still better than outright losing them.
i dont hate ow, i hate geoff goodman for destroy a great game and he is still on the team balance head.
