  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.

    You seem knowledgeable about modern blizzard. What are the women who work there saying about equality? Would the breast milk thing happen again today?

      I wouldn’t know anything about that, but with respect to the overwatch team, they don’t seem to be implicated in that controversy.

      Example

      I can’t imagine the fight for equality in game dev is over, but at the same time I haven’t heard anything particularly controversial. If you have other evidence of wrong doing do let me know.

      Well Ana now has a perk that gives speed boost to nano. That combo has always been good, but with that it would be even better.

  Years for me. I spent years before realizing that I’m never getting a good matchmaker
