| TallSilhouette said: Tried Overwatch 2 over the weekend now that the server congestion is mostly resolved. The new heroes are nice but it really is just a faster OW1 with super stingy rewards. Your enjoyment hinges once again on the quality of your team and even more on the quality of your only tank, now. A shit tank all but guarantees a shit match now. Think I'll wait for PvE to play any further. |
I largely don't like the 5v5 over 6v6 which is probably my biggest gripe followed by the maps being more open. It doesn't feel as teamworky and more like individual plays. I do like some of the hero changes though. Orisa in ow1 was trash outside of a couple specific maps. Playing her was not fun and as a hero, she was meh compared to the likes of Rein. In ow2, she's a lot more fun. Doomfist as a tank is also a good change as he was a very clunky dps.
Kiriko is pretty fun support. When you have a shit rein that charges in, you can typically teleport and save him to an extent. Junkerqueen is a pretty good dps tank who's ult becomes useless with someone like Kiriko in the team as using her invisibility clears the ult to those that are hit but that special that reloads fairly frequently. But Junkerqueen is otherwise fun. Sojourn is a bit mixed. While her AoE can be pretty good, her main attack is meh but her side attack can be good if it its. Her ult is meh.
Battlepass change over lootbox is a downer cause now you really can't get all the cosmetics without paying and of course, hero is locked until half way through. Also Total Mayhem is shit now. Not only is it less chaotic, Zayra needs to be rebalanced as she has unlimited shield basically. The only way to kill her is to switch to a rein and charge her off the map or off the point so attack can push.
Good news for ow1 users is the points you get transfers over so outside of battlepass specific skins, ow1 users can unlock majority of the cosmetics through in game currency which I have a lot of.
