First of all I know a lot of people don't like this game so I'm not here to change anyone's mind.

Ok what I wanted to say is this is one of the best f2p pvp games rn. It's so much fun after the decent changes. The perks system is amazing. The game in general feels really good both in terms of quality and content. I never played Overwatch 1 so I'm not the best judge but picking this game up now, I'm enjoying it a lot, especially the stadium mode.

I don't like that in agent bans the same heros keep getting banned. And now new map voting is also coming and I'm afraid it can make the game boring bit who knows. Anyways let me know your thoughts.

My first question: Did they change the gun play?

Because that feeling I got from OW gun play was "spammy, unsatisfying, boring" either in kill time, movement or timing.

The weapons are simple, but you don't get the arena gameplay of map control, ammunition control and weapon cycling of arena shooters.

A single weapon is not complex to use as a weapon in CS or DirtyBomb.

To be honest Dirty bomb does health and ammo management better.

Everything I hear sounds good, but I never heared them fixing guna.

Nope, the game is and will probably always be spammy. Everyone has unlimited ammo. I definitely prefer this btw.

There's map control of course, just not like arena shooters. Most maps have changing objectives, around which the fights happen.

Instead of more difficult weapons you're managing your abilities and cooldowns.

That's just the kind of game OW is.

Ig thats just how the game is. I loved Valorants gun sounds better. Also the feeling when you 1 tap someone on a tac shooter is too peak. Sadly it's playerbase is too toxic and the game isn't on linux.

You should check out The Finals. Free to play, runs on Linux, guns feel and sound mint, dev studio made up of a bunch of former DICE devs. It’s not everyone’s bag of tea though there’s a lot of decision space in the main Cashout mode.
