nanoUFOAfter 27,000+ Steam reviews, Overwatch 2 is graded as 'Overwhelmingly Negative'
verysoftGood, they absolutely fucking butchered the game just to sell cosmetics and heroes.
Say what you will about the monetization strategy - there are a lot of valid criticisms to make - but the changes made to the core gameplay with OW2 and moving to 5v5 made the game infinitely better to play.
5v5 with reduced CC and shields >>>> late stage OW1
PxtlReduced CC and barriers were good but 5v5 makes the game too swingy and puts too much pressure on the tanks.
Disagree. More room to turn fights with individual plays from all roles imo
That’s fine for comp, but it means learning a new hero involves completely screwing your team in QP for days.
If it were up to me? They went in the wrong direction to solve a real problem. There are twice as many DPS heroes, so do 2-2-4 comps. And give more DPS heroes off-support powers like Soldier. And do more to punish barrier-heavy play, like Symmetra does.
