Overwatch

I really hadn't been following it before release, and I bought it because I wanted something to play and it reviewed well.

I've never been really into multiplayer games, so spending 250 hours already on a MP-only game in about 7 months is pretty incredible for me

I really wanna play overwatch but like you I'm not into multiplayer games. But I really like the art style, characters and trailers, so If I'm going to buy and multiplayer fps, would be overwatch.

I really had zero interest in fps or competitive online games until the beta for overwatch, I mean I've played the campaigns of all the Halo series up to 4 but still, no intest in the likes of CoD or Battlefield, but I find myself now over 100 hours into Overwatch, if you get a group of friends together or just even meet some nice pugs you can get lost for hours gaining levels rank and sick loot boxes. Would really recommend giving the game a look on one of the free weekends or if you can borrow a friends account, you'll know very fast if it's for you.

I will say though... you must get ready for 50/50 win ratio in ranked games, the game massively handicaps you with each successive win, eventually you will  be forced into a game with people who literally can't select a champion or play the very basic aspects of the game just to ensure you get a loss or they gift those players a win. Sure your rank gains and losses from the games are individual so you will still gain more rank than you loss each game as long as you're doing great at your task on a team, but still... you will always win 50% of your games based on the way the game is designed and sometimes that is just foced to the point where you might as well be teamed up with 4 potatoes and a carrot.
