Goodbye Overwatch

This turned into a real long goodbye, but I wanted to be fair and balanced to the unreasonable and greedy game. I need a rest now...

My Dad still plays Splatoon 1's multiplayer. It's the only video game he plays. He's probably got thousands of hours on it at this point

Boy, this aged well

Update: PVE is cancelled. Meaning overwatch 2 is literally just overwatch with balancing changes.

Winning a game with every one of your teammates on fire felt so great

As usual Blizzard had a good thing on their hands and managed to ruin it through greed and stupidity.

so the moral of the story is: no matter how much valve fucks up there will always be another game to prove TF2 is eternal.

As small as it sounds on paper, losing the post game cards was saddening Cant tell you how often you could get a good laugh out of seeing bastion's shield damage, or mei freeze timers

I'm glad someone actually mentioned Blizzards disgusting internal practices in a review of this game. The biggest streamers and YouTubers who claim to hate the practices buy the battle pass and make videos of them enjoying the game.

I enjoy how much focus you put on the shop and the battle pass. The fact that I paid for OW1, can't play it anymore, but also have to pay horrendous amounts for the skins I could've gotten for free, is straight up evil. Blizzard fully intended to make OW2 just good enough for people not to complain about their singular goal of changing the monetization method and raising prices. Too bad they failed in that too.

Not being able to endorse the enemy team was the first negative change I noticed, I always tried to endorse the enemy team if they did well, now I just have to settle for endorsing teammates

In defense of people playing more kiriko and moira, I've heard the argument that since there are fewer tanks and everything hyperoffensive now, that means that most healers need to both be in Line of Sight to heal and also stay out of Line of Sight to avoid the snipers and Sojourn railguns that will end them very quickly. Moira and Kiriko have teleports which allow them both to reach their teammates safely and also to try and bail when things inevitably go south.

I think the thing that really hammered the nail in the coffin for me was removing the find group function.. here's a team based game but gfy play by yourself

It's hard to make a game with a soul when the company itself has no soul anymore.

What I find weird about the “on fire”system is that the new heroes have voice lines for it as well. Makes me think it was a last minute decision to cut it out and maybe they’ll add in it later with all the other features removed…

"Im not even adding in the PvE stuff" Yeah, neither will Blizzard:D:D:D:D:D

As a completely new player to Overwatch, I didn’t really know what it was like to play the first game. For me, it’s fun to play and I like playing it. But now that I know how much there was before Overwatch 2, it made me realize how much of a slap in the face it was to old players. This video really helped me understand the perspective of old players, a perspective I believe was covered incredibly well by this video, so thank you for making this. Edit: It's come to my attention that this isn't how all players have felt, and it was wrong of me to assume so. I'd like to hear if your oponions do differ so I can get a clearer consensus on the subject, thank you to everyone who said so.

I've heard that the reason for removing things like the end cards and the medals was a sort of toxic prevention. Like they're trying to stop people from using those things to put themselves above the rest of the team and shit on them as bad players or something. But if that's the case, then this new scoreboard of everyone's stats make this 10 times worse. Think about it, it's easier then ever for a toxic player to single out a teammate who is "underperforming" and get on their case about it. now all they have to do is press tab, look at the numbers, and boom. a one-way ticket to 'Uninstall game you trash 1IQ noob' station.

I actually really liked the loot boxes you would earn through leveling for somebody who only casually played every once in a while...didn´t spend any extra money but got some really nice skins...in comparison I would probably need to waste like $500 to buy the same skins now lol

This video keeps aging like fine wine
