    Might sound odd to some, but Overwatch.

    Early Overwatch was great. Then some updates made it better. The only things wrong with it were design choices that were made for financial reasons. Then they made it much worse. Then they made it worse. And worse. And then they made 2, which turned it into just another ‘left-click on the target’ game, because those make more money. It saddens me that it died.

      Yeah I used to be super addicted to Overwatch 1, but I bailed as soon as 2 came out. I can honestly say I’ve never played it since.

      I was on the same boat as you forever. I came back to ow2 late last year. I’ll say this. OW feels better than it ever has. Very balanced and very fair, while maintaining that very chaotic and energized feeling. They added tiered perks which really break up the monotony of the game, and also brought back loot boxes.

      It feels like they realized the game became stagnant, and they’re doing as much as they can to bring it back to peak, and past that.

      They also are bringing back 'classic overwatch", and I’ll say this… After you play classic and go back to regular you can feel the difference. The only thing I miss is 6v6 but it seems like that’s coming back soon too

      I was there gandalf, I hated when they changed the game and balancing around the pro mode, only for their e-sports presence to implode anyway.

            No, seriously, give Rivals a chance. It’s free so you have nothing to lose.

            Two of the original OW developers were heavily involved in its development, so the game feels just like OW did back in 2016. Trust me, you won’t miss Overwatch 2 once you get used to it.

      Play Marvel Rivals now while it’s still fun. It’s free.

      It plays just like 2016 Overwatch did, because it was made by some of the original OW devs. The same ones who left because they were tired of all the fun metas being made boring to please the hardcore players who have no life outside of video games. That isn’t an issue with Rivals yet. Enjoy it while you still can.
