Might sound odd to some, but Overwatch.

Early Overwatch was great. Then some updates made it better. The only things wrong with it were design choices that were made for financial reasons. Then they made it much worse. Then they made it worse. And worse. And then they made 2, which turned it into just another 'left-click on the target' game, because those make more money. It saddens me that it died.

I liked 6v6, they should've made more tanks and healers.

I didn't like role queue, sure it's a strong team buildup but I don't think it should've been forced. I really liked being able to flex between classes depending on what was needed. Sometimes five DPS and a healer will break through a point. Being a tank or healer with bad DPS makes an already limited role even worse.

Ow2 seems like they just trashed my game ($60aud) and added MTX.

I can't get into marvel rivals, the time to kill seems too low, Overwatch was a bit more lethal.

Yeah I used to be super addicted to Overwatch 1, but I bailed as soon as 2 came out. I can honestly say I've never played it since.

Nah, it's pretty good now. Feels better than OW1 was, personally.

No, seriously, give Rivals a chance. It's free so you have nothing to lose.

Two of the original OW developers were heavily involved in its development, so the game feels just like OW did back in 2016. Trust me, you won't miss Overwatch 2 once you get used to it.
