My mate got in before that via the email sign up, which I did but I didn't get in. I've not got time to spend 4 hours watching people play it to get a key (Plus my Blizzard account isn't attached to Twitch), so feel rather cheated here.

From what I watched, it looked the same just upped graphics. Most chaotic sounds bad, and surely caters for the dive meta again. No understandably they are doing all they can to remove GOATS but I'm still have never liked being locked into a role as changing characters of the fly was always meant to be part of their game philosophy. I practically stopped playing ranked and even casual play when they added 2-2-2 and played only Arcade, didn't even know they added open ranked until later. But since the lack of updates, I've kinda moved on to other games (having a digital PS5 and a disc copy of OW on PS4 doesn't help. :P). From what I watched it doesn't look any real different, so I am hoping the PvE bumps up my interest.

From what I've read of Orisa changes, I'm not a fan, as an Orisa main, but that doesn't mean she won't be okay. Part of her skill was using her shield correclty and without it she's just a bullet sponge for enemies to charge their ults but without the sustain like Roadhog.

----------------

You have to remember that all tanks have Roadhog's and Reinhardt's passive in OW2 so they generate less ult charge when damaged and healed (and are more resistant to boops).

Having played most of my games with Orisa yesterday, she feels awesome. Her javelin is good for burst damage and environmental kills, the spin move blocks incoming damage and has been useful for stuff like protecting a risky rez but it's also so fun to back an enemy in a corner or push one of them towards your team plus you can also push people off the map with it. Then fortify is there to provide sustainability since it now gives you extra health.

About the chaos, I think it's going to be a temporary thing. It's already better on old maps where people know the layout inside out. The fact people are trying new things and that the maps are brand new (5 of them I think) is bound to make some games very uneven.
