Thoughts On Overwatch?

My thoughts on Overwatch

I never played the Game back then it felt overpriced for me especially for a Online only Shooter so I never bought it besides of that well the Characters are nice and just lets say there are more people knowing about the characters than about the actual Game ;)

I liked overwatch 1 alot at the beginning .

But later on they changed some characters drasticly and even entirely except their skins .

The lore of the game was sadly generic , very weak and didnt led to anything .
The updates and balance-patches were quite annoying after a while and always was tracer top-tier with her broken abilities while other characters (even my main torbjörn) got the short end of the stick .
Even the really hyperfixated focus what Gender , sexuality , nationality , disability , past and so on , actually ruined the fun for me because some characters that were actually cool became more and more a really bizarre caricature of the representation-olympics instead of simple and cool characters .

And while i played it 5 whole years , it became from a really cool online-hero-shooter into a meta-driven , always drasticly changing , ranking-focused and boring team-shooter with an creeping addiction to skins and lootboxes .

This game grossed me out from online-gaming entirely and showed how burned out and corrupted online-gaming have become .

Atleast the Overwatch-prons were temporarly interesting.

OW1 was fun with friends and by myself for like the 1st year and a half, but after Ash dropped I just lost interest. I didn't like the direction of the game and its balancing approach. Sombra I think was the first red flag because for a team based game she seemed very solo-based and forced your team to fight a 5v6 often. No wonder she's considered the worst hero to this day. I also really despised some of the new maps in terms of level design. Like that space level that has a zero gravity area but it away from the objective so it is completely pointless. What really bothered me most was how the lore of the game was retconned all the time. My main Lucio got retconned from the game's existence. I wish this game never went the comp route and just stuck with being fun and casual. Fortnite took the casual route and it managed to bounce back into the mainstream so maybe there's hope for OW2. I simply refuse to play OW2 because of how toxic the community has become in wanting to be more comp-like. (As is the fate for all games that go the comp route).

I should also note that during the time of OW1 I never stopped playing TF2. It's just that my friends would only exclusively play OW1 and I would usually join them.

I never had the hardware for it, but I found the trailers interesting. Competitive multiplayer probably isn't for me anyway, though.

I like it but I don't play it actively anymore. I personally enjoy OW2 more than how late OW1 felt. I love seeing my brother play it though, because he’s such a wiz at it, and sort of stay on top of the new changes through him.
Favorite heroes to play as are Dva, Orisa and Zenyatta.

I liked it up until they added the dumbass hero queue, and later the class lock. Seriously, not being able to pick who I want in any situation because I can only queue as one class bracket sucks. That first game was too fun. I liked playing as Roadhog and Zenyatta.

Marvel Rivals is a fun game
