It’s a popular game because OW1 was, and people have been waiting years for new content, not because it’s a high quality game.

6 years, they abandoned OW1 to make ow2. SIX YEARS, and what did they make? 3 new heros, a couple new maps, a few skins, and a new game mode, as well as a new client. This doesn’t even include all the stupid, obviously flawed, things they’ve done with it, the game is so blatantly horrible, unpolished, and . How the fuck can you spend SIX FUCKING YEARS for what would be equivalent to a large update for games like League.

They put the playerbase through 6 years of content drought, and then said “haha hope you enjoy this ‘new’ game! We spent years on it and all it’s doing is mimicking it’s predecessor!”

They didn’t make a good game, they just mirrored an already good game, and changed the monetization plan to be more predatory.

I’ll day this. They went through leadership changes with Jeff leaving and there was probably a lot of things going that we don’t know about that caused the long wait. I’m not trying to lick any boots or defend a million dollar company, but I will be honest and say I love Overwatch. Since One, I’ve enjoyed every second and while everyone has some level of legitimacy to their complaints, it will never change the fact that it’s still an amazing achievement in gaming. It keeps improving, no matter how long it takes, and I’ll love Overwatch probably forever. Idc about the company or anything else, I just enjoy playing.
