Also the healing change is really good because I’m less dependent on healers as a tank so I can go on more crazy flanks or go right behind the enemy backline and just wait for my health to recover and then go back in!

Mostly yes. Sometimes it’s rather annoying when the enemy team goes full bunker-comp when they’re losing the match though.

For once I agree with you.
On an individual match basis, open queue is more often the more fun option.
Not great for learning the game., but more fun.
lol learn the game. All you have to learn in this game right now is counter picking the entire game. Other than that there isnt much to the game.
Unfortunately that is the case. Bring back 6v6, less reliant on a single tank then.

People who call for a return to 6v6… I don’t think they realise all that would do is kick the can to a different road.
It won’t make the game better. It won’t make it worse.
If Marvel Rivals has shown anything, is that 6v6 isn’t the holy grail.
Yes it would make the game better.

You’d prefer it. I’d prefer it. Others would.
But our preference doesn’t mean it is better. It will just have same issues, with an extra tank.
The same people will still be playing the game.
It does lol. Whole point of games is to satisfy the customers. If we prefer OW1, then it is better.

Indeed. Well more knowledge you can’t please everyone, the point of a live service game is to satiate enough people in order to generate targeted revenues. Which, for now, OW2 seems to be doing.
No, if we prefer OW1, we prefer OW1. Doesn’t mean it’s the better game. Just means you prefer playing it.
But the biggest poll I’ve seen down suggest 5v5 is slightly more popular. The numbers of players daily and monthly would also suggest more people are playing now than before.
Sometimes, games move past you. Other times you just move on. Plenty more fish in the sea.
It’s F2P. Like yourself, many people have created many accounts. So the numbers aren’t accurate. I mean look at Steam reviews. I did a lot of research and found that OW one is more liked than OW2, which makes it a better game.

Lol, this makes no sense… Vers, you and others would like 6v6 but that doesn’t mean it is a better format… 
okay.
Exactly. The Steam reviews say it all at how bad the game is.
Metacritic for Overwatch was is 91 rating. Overwatch 2 rating is 79.
Bring back 6v6.

The reported “100m accounts”, yeah just ignore that.
But current and daily active players is reliable as it doesn’t factor accounts.
If it came back. Cool. If not 5v5 is still solid, and games are pretty fun.
You need to remember it’s just a game. Play with friends and have fun. The rest will take care of itself.
Because there more to it than just “I LiKe ThIs MoRe”.
I prefer playing and messing around Cities Skylines… Doesn’t mean it’s a better game than OW, because it definitely isn’t.
Source? Proof?
Again, source?
Your opinion though.
Not really. Not a nice way to put it by the way. If more people prefer OW1, then OW1 is the better game. That’s all there is to it really.

I is just a PR spun number that a lot of games push out. Good news, but not significant.
Based on Googles server data, there has been about 360k players in the last hour.
Indeed. If you aren’t having fun playing game, play something else. Your free time is valuable.
If more people prefer it, it is more popular. More popular doesn’t mean better (Avatar is the highest grossing film of all time, a popularity score… It is a terrible film though).
There is also no conclusive proof as to which one is better, and the reality is it is probably around 50/50. One probably edges over the other when different people ask the question. (which was proven with the Jake vs whoever that dude was surveys).
When OW2 was initially added people gave it mass negative reviews to make a point to blizzard. I think it was one of the worst rated games across all of steam. We know this is wrong, however peoples reviews for once didn’t reflect many true opinions. It was a stunt because they were disappointed in a game they truly loved. So im not entirely sure this is a valid point to use. However I support your argument in general, from what I see OW2 is a worse game than OW1, or at least OW2 has so much wasted potential

I wonder, with the Chinese players being able to return in a month or so, whether this will impact the score (seeing as a lot of the negative reviews are from Chinese accounts that were upset over the NetEase deal ending).
I dont think it was the chinese players. At least not at the time i was talking about. When overwatch was added to steam I believe there was a lot of anger at blizzard for ruining the game and especially at the managers. however I am not educated enough in this topic to give specific enough details, im sure others will be able to provide those examples below

Yeah. That certainly added to it that is for sure. But the ending of the NetEase deal was the point of the “bomb”. A lot of the reviews are just people pressing negative and leaving what they believe is a funny comment. There isn’t actual “reviews” on there (same for a lot of games sadly).
Certainly will be interesting to see where the score goes in the 2nd half of the year
Indeed. It’s very childish.
Games are no where near solid. They’re usually very one-sided stomps.
I do know that Overwatch 2 is a game. I am unsure why you’re telling me that… 
maybe the people you hang with need to be reminded about normal things so out of habit you’re doing it here also?
Blizzard give us no place to review their games. Steam does.
The reviews reflect the true opinions, so for those who would of given it positives, would have given it positives. As not many people at all did, it rightly is one of the worst rates games across Steam, and very poorly played on there also lol.
