Agreed with X on the less team fight stuff. Generally, the skirmish dps style gameplay is more popular, but that's a double edged sword because it's also more generic. The audience who likes every hero to be FPS-skill based will quickly drop this game for the thousands of other games that offer similar gameplay. The audience who likes Overwatch as a team-fight game will not ditch because there's few games that offer such an experience, especially of the first person variety..

It is the most fun I have had with any Activision Blizzard game ever. The lack of cc means your team can push based on numbers, the cooldowns mean less now due to the overwhelming power of positioning. Things die less so when someone does die it feels more like a battle than a numbers game. The audio and visual queues make the game feel insurmountably different. When you take damage it doesn't feel like a pike stabbing into flesh it feels like a pebble bouncing of plastic. I can't even explain here how much better it is.

I agree. I mained Orisa during the beta when I rarely played Orisa in Overwatch 1. And speaking of fun, Overwatch 2 is the most fun I've had with Overwatch since 2017, its so refreshing! Only people who are saying they don't like it are people who hate on it just for being Overwatch. Like how people hated the lootbox system and now they hate the Battle Pass system. The game is the most balanced it's been since about 2018 with GOATS comp and Double Shield. It has reduced CC dramatically where a lot of stuns are removed. Yes it may only be an update but it's a great one, and I can't wait to play PVE in 2023!

I think the game will feel better in general. The game turned into a tanky, shield and heal fest that ruined the game and made it a lot harder for skill based players to shine with all the support and tankiness going on. Now that there is one less player and abilities habe been altered. There will be less of that going on for the most part. Which is a good thing. Teamwork will still be important but you will have people with opportunities to outplay or make big plays on their own which is big plus.

Someone explain to me why Mercy is still in the game when she does 55 HPS, and Moira, while only healing 50 HPS, has an ability that can either double her healing or damage output and has one of the no-skill damage primaries in the game, while Mercy has a pistol that does 10x body/5x headshot kills. I mean, shit, if you die while trying to Resurrect you have to swap heroes real quick as a cheese cooldown because it's literally the only ability in the entire game that has a cooldown persist through death. If she's going to be outshined in healing she needs a more independent movement ability and massive changes to her DPS ability.

[@cahan557]

Only hero that can resurrect, very mobile support second only to kiriko (who was designed to be mobile) and while her healing isn’t the best, its consistent and she can also consistently damage boost. These all make her an amazing pocket support for squishy dps since she can amplify their damage, heal any damage they take (mobile dps can often get out of range of the most potent healers who aren’t always as mobile) and revive for more costly mistakes or misfortunes. She definitely has a unique role that no other support can best her at, she is the best pocket support. Kiriko is now another good pocket support however kiriko is more of an assist assassin than a pocket healer.

[@Hyrule409]

@@cahan557 Yea but being a heal or boost bot whose only gameplay loop is flying around trying to not get shot at gets really boring. She's the only hero that almost 100% depends on your teammates to actually be good, and with just a pistol you have no means of taking matters into your own hands outside of Valkyrie as you'll get smashed by even the most decent DPS. Every time I get frustrated with it and just go full BattleMercy with my ult, I end up having much better results. I've gotten 3 POTGs since OW2 came out as Mercy which is more than like the last year and a half of OW1.

[@cahan557]

@@Hyrule409 I mean I play support cause I like healing so mercy’s gameplay loop is quite satisfying for me. Her pistol is often underestimated and I’ve killed many a diving genji or tracer who think that just because the dps died, I’m free to kill. I’m not against her getting a reworked weapon because I think a pistol is really boring compared to her design (she wields a magical healing staff and a suit that can both heal herself and fly yet carries around a standard pistol). I’d say they could make her staff sap health to stay in line with her design but that would just be moira’s weapon so I dont know. As for her ult, going for kills is a really good use of it, she has unparalleled mobility during valk and her pistol damage output is enough to secure dps kills as they can’t typically escape and the initial damage from the first pistol shots makes most dps try to flee rather than effectively return fire, obviously just don’t run off to do your own thing if the rest of your team are close together at 10% health. All in all, I’m not opposed to a rework as she is a very simple character compared to modern characters (this happens to every game like this where as the game devs fill out all of the classic archetypes, they start having to develop more complex characters so that they have unique gimmicks) but I’m not sure what I would even change. Her revive has to stay imo because I think its pretty balanced and a good unique power. Its not like old ult revive where it just undoes a losing team fight (its slow to use, leaves mercy vulnerable and is on a long cooldown) but it puts her into a unique position of being able to fix mistakes that other supports cannot (peaking a corner when widow is aiming there for example). As a final note upon reflecting on what I might suggest to be reworked; I realised her passive is kinda terrible now that all supports have it (since other supports were given a way to self heal but because mercy could passively do it, she lacks a self-targetable burst heal) so I think her passive should be changed (I know she has angelic descent but that’s more of a feature of guardian angel than mercy tbh). Could maybe make it that her staff applies 20% of the opposite mode to heroes you are healing/boosting (i.e. healing a player would boost their damage by 20% of the normal value or boosting would heal them 20% of the normal value). Or perhaps more in line with her character design, while resurrect is on cooldown, interacting with a teammate “grave” reduces respawn time by 20% and gives them a rapidly decaying movement speed buff when they leave spawn.
