Counter-Strike would like a word.

I'm right there with you. I miss having 6v6 with like half the characters they have now (so I can actually learn them all), with Jeff Kaplan keeping me excited to play. What a fun time that was.

I'm right there with you. I think the hamster was the last new hero I played with.

Those were good times.

Now they're adding a cat with a jetpack, which I would love if they gave her a better name than Jetpack Cat.

I took a long break from overwatch after the release of overwatch 2, but they have been made some big changes that have brought me back.

No more heros locked behind battle passes, free loot boxes, 6v6, great performance, sound design and the new perk system is nice. The game is more balanced than it ever was as overwatch 1, even it it's still not perfect.

I don't agree with everything, paid skins are absurdly expensive, and heros do seem designed to sell skins, but that's really not new either.

This dumb shit isn't acceptable, and if I see something like this I just don't go to the website.

IIRC he just washed his hands and moved on from it, which probably was the right call given the Acti-Blizz merger and Microsoft buyout.

Because it's free to play and it's supposed to be a deterrent to smurfing.

Activision does that with all their games now.

It’s the reason I won’t buy a new COD game.

I laughed out loud at Overwatch x Hello Kitty and Friends.

I play Marvel Rivals almost every day. Compared to Overwatch, it's more casual and fun oriented, not that balanced at all. And its in third person, not first person. While Rivals has some Overwatch energy and can be played as a replacement, it is not a full replacement. And no other of these games will probably reach peak Overwatch and does not have the same charm.

BTW I recently installed Team Fortress 2 Classified, a mod that got its own Steam store page. It has lot of stuff from early TF2 days recreated and looks very interesting. Still need to try it out.
