What all because some people wanted to play attackers all the time? Well duh, in MP PvP games that's how it works, people don't want to be tanks, just being in front of everyone or a support at the back hiding while healing, they want to be in on the action.
To me, limiting the choice of character went back against it's original appeal and their ideas for it. From what I've heard from friends getting in or youtube videos I've watch, this is much the same, tanks being a single player, 5v5, it's odd changes I think personally. What slowly turned me off OW in general was role queue and the lack of content since Echo's release. It's quite informative to know where enemy players are and who exactly is on the enemy team, and now even those without a microphone can contribute such information. There's even a pinging system for those who don't want to engage with others over the microphone - which is great, but takes some getting used to. It seems as though Blizzard is really focussed on eliminating the things players found the most frustrating about Overwatch. It's not what I would have wanted in an ideal world, but there's honestly more than one way to balance the game, so I'm comfortable with that.

You can sign up for the next Overwatch 2 closed beta here, ready for when it begins on June 28th. There are still things like King's hastily rolled-back 'Diversity Space Tool' cropping up, though. So far this year, Microsoft has begun a $69 billion (£50 billion) buyout of Activision Blizzard, and Blizzard Entertainment head Mike Ybarra has said he wants to rebuild trust in the company. Overwatch tried to sidestep some of this when McCree became Cole Cassidy in October. That core foundation may be a bit too familiar, but it still absolutely rules.”Īctivision Blizzard are still contending with legal issues and reports alleging a discriminatory and harassing working environment. “Despite my dour tone,” said Liam though, “I am actually looking forward to seeing how the game evolves between now and launch.
They agreed that any true sequel to Overwatch lies in the PvE mode that Blizzard’s been keeping relatively shtum about. Ed and Liam didn’t have the best time when they tackled the first beta. Overwatch 2’s first closed beta started on April 26th and ran through to May 17th, so you can expect something like another three week window with the second one.
