My friend and I were just talking the other day how Marvel looked like a carbon copy of overwatch, and we both agreed we'd still rather play it over OW because Blizzard sucks.

I wonder how many people have jumped ship just because of that.

Blizzard ruined OW with OW2.

because Blizzard sucks

Is netease any better?

[–] Breadhax0r@lemmy.world 15 points 1 week ago

No, and i don't actually play either game. But I recently saw my husband playing OW2 and I got mad all over again at how it's identical to the first OW and the only reason for it was to more aggressively monetize.

Well overwatch 2 also sucks. I think the remaining players have Stockholm syndrome

The game is still fun and they’re releasing content in a somewhat steady manner.

It isn’t as good as OW was in its heyday but frankly it’s still fun.

The new hero is a blast.

That said my buddy and I 100% switched to rivals the day before the new overwatch season (with the new hero) dropped and I have very little want to go back to OW2 right now.

They haven't pissed off the Blizzard players yet.
