MODERATORS
I was an extremely avid fan of OW1. Thousand of hours poured into it.
OW2? Just less than 100 hours played.
How come?
This is my subjective opinions
I still play from time to time cause a friend, for whatever reason, only plays OW2. I dunno how anyone still plays and has fun. Playing 5v5 now, you can tell it was the easiest way to deal with difficult problems. It doesn't work, the team with the better tank wins the match almost always.
More than half the quick play matches now have revolving players. Even Comp has a ridiculous number of leavers. And nothing is being done about it cause there's barely anyone playing anymore. Balancing, I don't know what happened to it but it's like they're pushing out whatever.
But you can always find new skins and items in the shop, as bad and useless as 99% of them are.
Across all platforms I probably have around 3000 hrs on OW1, but looks like they're letting OW2 die cause they can't or won't put in the work necessary to make it good again.
And not the mention the insane toxicity. If I reported toxic chat in ow1, I always got a notice a day or two later. But literally from ow2, none of my reports have come back. And I've reported some pretty disgusting chats, racism, sexism etc. And nothing. At all. I know the notices are still a thing cause I've seen screenshots of people getting them. But I also noticed that generally it was the pc players. I don't think I saw a screenshot from console players.
And I hate that crossplay is now a thing. Yeah cool, our me against like 1 playstation player and 4 pc players in comp. That's really a fair match when my team is either all PS or one pc player.
And the volume of hacking and bots now is ridiculous. Again, no reports come back. Even on rein with an aim bot. It was so bad the dude would spin when he was near more than one character. Literally spinning round like a fucking Beyblade... But sure blizz, that's fine.
6v6 and two cap maps were awesome. Now I'm lucky if 2 cap pop up in arcade. Sigh. And they promised ow1 would stay, right until just before release then they trolled and ow2 was forced onto us.
