Hard to completely despise this despicable game because it's been polished to an absolute mirror shine through a lifetime of quality over quantity updates. Sadly, these updates were hyper-focused towards catering to the Elite Gamer demographic and far less towards the people who play games to have fun, and you're lying if you think there's no difference between the two. I went into this game at release hoping it would shape up to fit the hole in my heart left by Team Fortress 2, but Overwatch's walled garden content approach means the sheer user-created variety will never ever coalesce.
I'm not saying I'd love this game if it lets people make surf maps or play on servers with insane plugins - but I'd PROBABLY love it, if it even as much as let me set my spray to an animated gif of Konata Izumi.
My wildest hopes and dreams for Overwatch 2 begin and end at hoping they hired a writer this time. Overwatch trailers are seriously written like when you just press the middle suggested word on your phone keyboard. "We are heroes and we must protect this world because it is just the right thing to do and heroes must come together to do what is right and". I literally need to stop myself before I start talking about how good the TF2 comics were.

Noticeably too scared to add content that has potential to "ruin the meta". Junkenstein's Revenge for five years in a row.
Competitive overwatch never once appealed to me honestly, the game has a designated "Get lots of kills" button meaning losing is always abrupt and frustrating, and winning is never satisfying.

Gotta love the ever-present take of "I used to have fun with my friends playing TF2 custom maps so now every game that even remotely resembles it should be equally good or better, or it's shit"
Yes
100% unironically yes
yes. ideally all shooters should be tf2.

And now they cancelled the story mode so that barebones plot doesn't even get fleshed out in any way. Big whoop.
A game that bravely & defiantly refuses to have anything going for it
True Geniuses make a sequel featuring a PVE story mode, with no story, no writing, and no PVE mode.
