Overwatch 2 Suffers From The Same Problems as the Overwatch 1
Ode to Overwatch: The Overwatch 2 Beta Content Leaves A Lot More to Be Desired
We’re going through with queue time issues once again. They tried to “objectively” fix the issue with 5v5 but it’s clear the lack of attention towards Supports is a big issue.
The gap between DPS and Support may never close, but it’s an issue that was presented in the feedback in the previous beta.
Of course, we know another hero and rework is coming, but the point is that 5v5 didn’t fix the issue. Which begs the question of how the game could be with a 6v6 system. The game does feel fresh and fast with 5v5, but some part of me will always question if it was truly the right direction, especially while we have the same core issue.
It only gets worse when we got to know Hero production was minimized, which only makes it feel like 5v5 was a bandaid solution.
Might just be me, but Heroes have always been the life and identity of the game, and what even drew me in the first time. So I just find it shocking that is what they minimized going into OW2 production.
