I don't think I'll leave OW2 for this, purely because I'm super casual and only play unranked/MH.

I'm glad that is coming out and people are having fun though.

I play both. Deadlock is definitely more Dota style with longer matches and punishes poor team strategy much more. OW2 scratches a different itch.

[–] Baggie@lemmy.zip 2 points 2 months ago

Yeah I wouldn't. It's not really the same kind of game ultimately, and the time investment you need to grasp it can be a lot, even for someone like me who played DOTA and shooters way too much.

If you can get into it though, it's a real banger so far.

Try Marvel Rivals (out on December 6th). It reminded me of OW1, but also OW2, of course.
