Specific Perks, specific Hero’s abilities that don’t require skill such as Torb, Sym, Juno with said Perks. That’s about it. Oh and give certain hero’s the ability to leave spawn without being dominated. I think there should no longer be spawn camping. If so give the hero’s leaving spawn triple their HP and it will decay overtime but long enough for a single hero to get back to their team without a Sombra being a Sombra.
It’s not as good as it used to be because they reworked every fun hero (such as Hog) and added unfun powercrepe (such as Queen) at every turn.

Queen is a significantly more fun hero to play as, with, and against. If you were going to cite an unfun hero you could cite Mauga but using JQ is weird because she is generally very highly regarded on the fun matrix.

Seems like most people think it is improving. It’s just gains constantly lately.
Yeah, and I am sure Freya is more fun to play as, with, and against than a Hanzo too. It doesn’t change that the design is bad and one of the various reasons that Overwatch Uno was actually fun compared to this nonsense. Sometimes people do not know what they want.

Those are because of the honeymoon phase of the new contents like perks, hero bans and stadium imo. It’s not bad ofc when they can maintain the pace for good.
Excessive power creep, stubborn game designers and overpromising content is what killed Overwatch for me.
This is actually an interesting idea. Temporary overhealth that would reduce the chance of team staggering

It would have to stop on cart missions when the cart was close to spawns.
But I actually like the idea.
You would ALSO have to put a cap on high speed rollout characters for SURE
So nothing? Since this is 100% personal preference.
Yes Freja is and its one of many reasons some of the loudest complaints these forums had were for those brief periods were Hanzo was meta. Also I like how you did not refute a single point. You called Roadhog well designed but if he is less fun to play as, with, and against then another hero than that hero is strictly better designed.
Maybe I’m the odd one out here but I’ve been enjoying the game more than I’ve ever enjoyed it and I’ve been playing since day 1! 6v6 and stadium are right in my wheelhouse and the regular updates have been fantastic (nobody’s perfect but they’re doing a good job imo).
Just the need the shop, progression system and rewards to be a bit better and fairer and I couldn’t really ask for more.
for me overwatch is no longer as good as it used to be since october 2022, i wonder what happened that date, perks did nothing to make the game better, or worst, developers need some talent to add a “big” change to the gameplay and still feels the same

improved with stadium yes but barelly, still havent recovered from the massive lost of marvel rivals, the honeymoon of stadium is over after one month, people relized mode is full of problems and developers as usual ruined things with their patches
OW is not as good as it used to be because OW2 fundamentally changed core mechanics of the game and it plays totally differently. I think OW2 would have been fine as it’s own game, but it so different and IMO considerably worse. I’m sure it has also drawn in a lot of new players who didnt like OW1, though.
What is there to refute? It is your opinion. Obviously I believe you are wrong, that goes without saying.
