First I’d revert the entire game to OW1’s final state and use that as a base rather than try to change OW2. OW2 is a lost cause.

Then I’d remove EOMM.
Then I’d add a full-featured creative tool.

Focus on making a game people are willing to pay for instead of designing a game around its monetization?

You’d be surprised how good games can be when the focus is actually the game first

I listen to literally every one of Flat’s opinions and maliciously comply until the game is put out of its misery.

Release more skins, make bank off you people and retire rich

This is the only correct answer.

Aaron Keller resurrects his OG mojo, and goes back to designing maps and training others to design good maps. He’s given some cool procedural tools to autogen a shortlist of viable maps and polishes those with actual QA people.

The god of maps, not the god of shipping a rigged-scam DLC-downgrade cash-grab branded as competitive online esport.

Turn every map into a push map

Map every turn into a push turn

If I’m given the Lead Dev job in OVerwatch, Im wondering where I failed to find myself in this predicament. Why would I take this hunk of garbage that could only be saved by cleaning house and starting over with 5 years of development time

Oh, I dont think you want me to be the lead dev for OW2, trust me.

I would wipe the slate clean make the game 6v6 1 main tank with shield, 1 off tank no shield, 2 dps with fast movement passive, 2 healers would basically be slightly weaker DPS but with right click healing shot. The ults would be the only really game changers and thing that would need balance since the rest is a symmetrical.

Overeatch devs have forgotten what is paramount to a competitive game. Equal opportunity to succeed based on skill rather than external factors. Reward skill, accuracy and strategy on a level playing field.
