you could sometimes see in overwatch 1 so to fix this they've added more glowing particles to everything and more useless UI clutter for overwatch 2

This is just like 222 role lock - it works and it’s going to make overwatch feel better but it doesn’t fix the inherent problem tank has as a role So dumb

Yeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeee

@aLivingBeing @pcgamer I think this problem stems from team based games like overwatch and siege. 70% of the player base are toxic *********.

@TheBigCott @SYACVG Sadly yes. Games with Class base shooters like tf2 and overwatch has this problem where no one wants to be a medic and so on so this is blizzards way of making the game more balanced

If Overwatch has any big problems I don’t think the actual PVP gameplay is one of them. The 5v5/ only 1 tank thing seems weird to me. But of course I’m a dumb meat sack scared by change.

@Alluminn @TempoZP @EnvyJayne If the problem was relevance then it doesn't bode well for overwatch 2 tbh

Really interesting decision for Overwatch 2 to shift to 5v5. It feels like historically, a lot of the blame for stagnant metas has gone to the tanks (GOATS, Double Shield, etc.) but I'm wondering if removing a tank slot entirely will fix that issue or just delay the inevitable.

(@squ1dyouknow) reported
Just realized 5v5 is in part being implemented to lower queue times because nobody wants to play tank. Instead of fixing core issues with their game, Overwatch devs are coming in with yet another drastic bandaid fix that does nothing but lower overall game quality! SAD!

The problem with Overwatch is competative. It's so easy for your SR to drop bc ppl are ********. We NEED a reset. Desperately.

Overwatch 3 will be 4v4 so they can fix the long queue times that Overwatch 2 had from not enough tank players.

Watching Overwatch 2 livestream. Really dislike 5v5 (1 tank, 2 dps, 2 supports). This is going to put pressure for tank players. Queue time will be longer. For comp, what happens if the tank player leaves/disconnect, your team is stuck without a tank. There’s so much to list off.

@Raelyni when the game is dumb you can just shoot your way out of problems and thats what we saw in early 2016 overwatch that everyone supposedly misses

Cancel Overwatch 2's development at this point, no one asked for it and instead of fixing issues OW1 has had for years, **** it, make offtank pros go hungry and change some sounds no one had issues with.

(@twinkie_mayne) reported
@PlayOverwatch Whats the point of overwatch 2? It looks just like ow1 with minor updated graphics, changed ui, some ability changes, and same game modes -1 toon slot. Why not just fix the original game and add on 5v5 game mode and ui update?
-

@SYACVG Because the problem with the original Overwatch as not being dictatorial *enough* with teams and character selection.

@rek0ra This is why daddy Jeff left The issue with Overwatch isn’t having two tanks. Like stated, they revolved the game around having 2-2-2 They are making tank players hate the game even more now

(@likeclockwork) reported
if they can start strong with a clear vision for the future of OW2 it will bode well for the game. but if they just hope things stick like they did with overwatch I think it could fall victim to the same identity problems

@FalseOw @OW_Vex Issue with overwatch was me getting stunned every .5 seconds, a shield up my *** every .5 seconds, guy getting to full hp every .5 seconds and me not being able to hit **** 🤝🤝🤝

@HxppyThoughtz it depends on how they view the game if its a problem of not. do they want the game to be overwatch? 6v6. do they want the game to be more of a moba? 5v5 will be better. it seems with the changes to cc they are shooting for a first person moba which i wouldnt mind

(@KieranGaming94) reported
So Overwatch really decided to **** tank players over? Don't understand their thinking their at all. Damage is the problem category, not tanks. You need double main tank because of double spam comps like Junk / hanzo /pharah. Really don't like the change at all.

@cgichipmunk overwatch 2 was absolutely shown early because of the mass panic in last 2 years, where the company was at its lowest in?? ever? same with diablo and it is gonna backfire when the games are still years out - also the issue of selling 2 when all the pvp stuff is free in 1

@TPaoIucci @PharaohOW Nobody, not even devs and players, know how to fix overwatch.

(@EndHimRightly) reported
One of the biggest problems in overwatch was the fact that with the exception of a lucky few (and this was AFTER role lock) dps champs just could rarely deal the damage it took to grind through a single tank that had a support even looking in their direction

Literally nothing #overwatch2 brings to the table couldn't be implemented in #overwatch new maps, higher fidelity models, new modes, updates to heroes all should have been in the LIVE SERVICE game I already purchased

@jamie_eternal @notcarseatheadr No. Overwatch 2 was supposed to be revealled anyway, info about it leaked long before the 5 minutes of China problems.

Atleast my iPhone will be able to run Overwatch at a 5v5 level. 1 extra tank will crash my phone :)

They've done it, they've officially ruined overwatch. Handing over at least 20 tank players over to some other game. 6v6 wasn't a problem that needed to be solved WTF

@EnvyJayne overwatch legit ended up making the whole game centered around owl. there is legit so much issues in casual play but as long as owl is balanced they don’t care.
