Overwatch 2 just cured my Overwatch "addiction"

Okay, addition’s a strong word. But I’ve been very much into Overwatch for the past 6 years. In fact, I’ve been wanting to play less PC games and more Xbox, but Overwatch was one of the main things keeping me from doing that. It was kind of my safe place, my comfort after a hard week at the office.

Now that Overwatch 2 is out, I just don’t feel that same magic anymore. That old school Blizzard quality where creating amazing gameplay and immersive worlds came before making money (the money would come anyway) just isn’t there. Papa Jeff wasn’t heavily involved with this, and it shows.

Kaplan is not anymore in this game since April,once when he left,all smurfs left as well,game become for me at least 5x better, I swear.There is no more Papa,now we have Commanda - Aaron Keller. Someone who take this game on seriously way, better way.I do not hate Kaplan,but if I have to choose Kaplan or Aaron , I would choice Aaron.I swear from the first day when Kaplan left, exactly first day I saw game become better within new events,no smurfs and no toxcity.Overwatch 2 is way way more balanced then Overwatch 1 , better game in any way.

Now having managed to get a few games without DC the general feel among the players I have interacted with is that the best part of OW2 so far is the OW1 content which was already there
