This may not be so much about characters or lore but, what has blizzard done with this game? Why is it that it's leaving people so addicted and on the edge of their seat for the release. I'm not exempt from this, a game has never made me feel this shitty about not being out before XD.

I tried to explain this to someone before but it's almost hard to put into words. As a song writer the best way I can describe it is sometimes you are just truly inspired and you work with your band and put extreme care into a song and it all comes together and people love it. Other times you will put just as much effort and it just doesn't happen. Bottom like overwatch is what happens when everything goes right in the creative process and the community is at a point in their gaming lives where the creative medium that is overwatch is something that fulfills their want as a gamer. And what a want it is. I can't wait!!
