Bring back Overwatch >:(

Overwatch classic in 5 years.

I mean all they have to do is add a 2/2/2 mode using the weaker open-queue tanks into the Arcade to say "look we've got OW1 as an arcade mode!"

In what way? 6v6? Generous loot? Immobile Orisa and Bastion? Uglier graphics?

That's basically the trick of this - these aren't really sequels, they're just large updates being marketed as sequels. In the case of OW2, the biggest loss is how prohibitively expensive the new monetization scheme is.

  • 6v6? Yes please.
  • Generous loot? Yes please.
  • Immobile Orisa and Bastion? I was an Orisa main and a Bastion main before that. I (mostly) miss the old meta. Yes please.
  • Uglier graphics? If the graphics must suffer for the game to be fun again, then so be it.

If the game was reverted, it would feel like a breath of fresh air, they fucked it on all fronts.
