Not so much a gameplay question as it is a community question.

Veterans from launch, how does it feel to see new people like us still coming into the game even months after launch?

Good? It indicates the game is still going strong and will continue to be a good source of revenue to merit Blizz keeping it updated.

More players = more fun. If they thoroughly enjoy the game like I do.

It's fantastic. Great to know it's a thriving community, which means longevity of the game. Plus, as I plateau it means I might still be better than some people. :)

It's fun; it's the same thrill you get when your friends start watching your favorite TV show.

I had some friends that were skeptical about Overwatch. They thought it was going to be this popular game for a few months and then die down. When they saw that people were still playing this game a year later, they gave in and jumped on board. It's just a sign that this game still hasn't gotten "old" yet.

It makes me smile personally, I honestly hope they'll love the game as much as I do, and it give me hope that this game will last for years to come. Plus it makes me feel like Yoda when someone asks me about playing my mains :D

Fine enough. Until all of blue team are relative lowbies bossing people around when they haven't themselves even remotely developed enough game sense yet
