In a world where big publishers are currently competing to make the biggest disappointment in the gaming industry, Activision/Blizzard are far and beyond the winners of this race. What could have been a jewel of competitive gaming history, became the catalyst for the shitshow that is any single multiplayer game out there. The legacy this series has left us has poisoned the well for most likely all eternity. We gotta owe it to Overwatch for ruining not only competitive video games, but how multiplayer video games are designed.

When we say a game is an "X killer", like world of warcraft and all that, Overwatch became the Team Fortress 2 killer, but not for the right reasons. That's right, I'm blaming this game/series for enticing TF2 to make that god forsaken lobby update. It's that bad.

I'm sorry, Jeff. This probably wasn't your fault, but god damn.
