I really don't understand why anyone would look at a service game and think adding a 2 to it would be a good idea, lmao. It'd only make sense if the ENTIRE game was severely changing. But it didn't....
 
This is obviously what they wanted to do from the beginning. The fact that it took this long just goes to show how off the mark and underbaked the launch was.
 
This management is really annoying...
First they block and terminate the first Overwatch when the sequel was released . Then they change the sequel title to that from the first entry to confuse everyone even more...
Image an author did the same nonsense with a book... ( maybe some already has...)
 
Good updates and upgrades for a f2p game.
That Hello Kitty collab is cringey af though.

I would like to see some PvE modes, but I guess that doesn't help to sell cosmetics.
 
The game has been in a good spot for quite some time aside from normal balancing shit that every GaaS goes through. The name change was still a bad idea even factoring in all the pve content they were thinking about so it's good to just back away from it. At least they are doing a much better job of putting content out even if it's on imo a subpar battlepass that while I'm sure makes them far more money sucks compared to just earning boxes in the game.
 
As someone who loved Overwatch back in the day and fell off hard when the game was rebranded into Overwatch 2, I fully support this. It seems like a declaration of intent to course-correct.
 
Blizzard's automated system will ban you if you're reported by a team of jerks even if you're being scapegoated and dogpiled by the whole team and just standing up for yourself. Certainly not the first time it happens, but over a longer timeline.

The thing is, the vast majority of players of these games are teenagers who have no problem doing things like this if they feel bad about not winning.

And if it happens enough times you get a permanent ban which means to play again you need a new account which means you lost all your skins, which I'm sure is just fine with Blizzard.

So as a side effect tons of people don't use voice chat anymore, or have to selectively choose when they play or who they play with.
And that's not even counting the poor matchmaking which very often creates lopsided matches.

I can't understand why anyone would want to play these games once they go through some of these things enough times, but I suppose if you already have a group of friends you play these games with frequently, then you're largely immune to and naturally will never experience things like this.

Like many others I dropped this when they switched to OW2.
They need to go back to making the new heroes free, or else drop the free to play aspect and let us pay for the base game again so that it can be like OW1.

I was hoping that Tom Clancy's Rainbow Six® Siege X might go back to just plain Tom Clancy's Rainbow Six® Siege during the Invitational announcements like a week from Sunday. I mean we're into year XI now not year X anyway.
