Just sharing my thoughts. Not complaining or looking for attention.
I stopped playing ow2 everyday after owc event and moved to MR. I regularly tried to return to ow2 , 5v5 , 6v6 all feels like fast-paced mess. I lived with hope for owc MM.
So yesterday I tried to play owc mm, I really did, but it feels so …wrong so after ~7 unfun games I returned to MR and had fun as Malice…
I think I need help from agent Smith to be reconnected with OW2 matrix again, I cant do it on my own…some one can say that I was liberated and im free now, but I dont feel like I want this freedom, I want to play Mercy and Juno , but I can’t…
Mr. Anderson, delete your MR account and then delete MR from your computer. Thats the very first thing you do. Then, do not under any circumstances think about Malice. Do not think about her fantastic butt. Have you stopped thinking about it? So nice. So round. These are your first steps to connecting back into the OW2 matrix.

Maybe you’re just tired of OW. I think it’s the better game by miles compared to Rivals as far as quality, hero/map design, and polish goes, but Rivals does scratch a fun and casual itch. I’m not sure how you can see Rivals as NOT a fast-paced mess, though.

Maybe, I played from release and only took one break for few months (and misses snow angel mercy 2017) .
Imho MR is normal pace mess but it’s fun 
…I… I don’t think I will …
But MR is an even more fast-paced mess? Like actually it is insane. There is too much audio from everything all at once, AoE/visual clutter is CRAZY, bunch of characters flying around all at once as well as projectiles/hitscan weapon visual trails, then there is also the map destruction going on with all of this as well.
OW has mild to high visual clutter that is really only ever an issue with too many shields, audio is nice and identifiable while not overloading your ears with information, less mobility than Rivals that is easier to track, less weapon fire visual clutter, etc.
I like both games, mind you, but you can’t say that OW2 is a mess when you play Rivals lol. It may not be a fun game but OW is the more polished of the two, by a LONG mile.
Maybe it is the POV that is a factor of how you perceive the games pacing? First person can seem crazy at times, but third person is almost too much information at once for me when there is excessive visual clutter.
Its funny you say “Mr. Anderson”. I used to be matched up with a player named Mr. Anderson a lot for the past 2 years. Always wore the OG black D.Va skin. Recently saw this player, and they renamed themselves “Mr. Meowerson” 
To OP: what was your favorite part about OW2? What does MR have that OW2 lacks for you?
Lol, I feel exactly opposite, ow2 (not ow1) has horrible sound design, music all the time (In MR its only start/end and overtime) . Ow2 has this "no one wants to play walking simulator ’ so everything is so tight close to everything in result its almost endless battles none stop. MR has more space for strategic planning.
Favorite part: season 1 Mercy , I didn’t play tanks or dps though, hero screen music.
MR hasn’t hero regens so resource management is fun part of the game. Mr hasn’t very loud music all the time. Mr hasn’t long lobby waiting time
Ow2 has Mercy, Juno, Hanamura …and forum…thats it
When I’m tired of ow I dont play PvP.
I mostly return older games
ac 1 2 ,
doom with mods especially qcde.
Gun
Mafia classic
Swat 3 4 , swat 3 still has the best ai than any other shooter
Skyrim enderral
System shock 2
Deus ex , hr
Warmarine 1 it’s better in every way
Godfather
Tekken 3
These are the kinda games that makes you feel happy and the Dev’s are looking to give you a experience not trying to make you grind so that you spend in the shop.
Yesterday was messing with crt shaders for older games was so much fun.
I don’t know if youtube vid gets it properly but it just feels better.
