If I had to guess it’s the microtransactions designed to squeeze every cent from their players. This game has an insane cost and it’s not just cosmetics. They lock characters behind microtransactions. I bought overwatch one, they ended it, and have me Overwatch 2: athe Money Grab!
OW2 is OW1. They just added a couple maps, removed some maps, took away a tank, and filled it full of grind and micro transactions. Absolutely no reason for “2”.
The OW1 client is gone, but Blizz migrated most things to OW2. The exceptions were the team size (changed from 6v6 to 5v5) and 1 match type (1 type dropped with 2 new types added). Collectibles and anything that could be purchased was also migrated from 1 to 2.
oh yeah they also abandoned the first game that was already good to make a campaign then cancelled the campaign at the last second and nobody can play the first one anymore.
I tried the game during the recent DnD event last month after a couple years away. Hadn’t played since loot boxes were still a thing, where I was literally playing daily since release. Stopped because the player base was becoming almost as toxic as LoL. Also, the overnight nerfing made things so different that I couldn’t use my mains effectively anymore.
My experience with the new game? It’s a great wait in line simulator with a terrible deathmatch game getting in the way!

Wait at least 5-10 minutes for a match to open up.

Not to mention if you bought Overwatch 1 they removed the entire game. It’s just gone. I liked the first one but greed killed the game.
wait they just removed the game?? like no one can play it anymore?
Correct. OW2 is basically bolted on top of OW1, so OW1 doesn’t exist anymore.

Think they had to cuz they “promised” not to charge for heroes.
They wanted to, and that required a “2”.
Yes absolutely. It’s just a realy big patch with some reworks. Honestly I realy don’t know what took them so long to finish it.

Its true that 1-2 of the new hero’s in the past could be unlocked instantly with money but apart from that you don’t need to spend a cent
Sure but you can just as easily spend zero cents in other games and get 10x the content.
