Why all this hate for OW2?
Because they took OW1, changed very little, made it a lot more microtransactiony, didn't release a promised co-op mode that basically was the reasoning to release OW2. I'm sure there's more but that's about it.
Dont forget they removed a tank slot, greatly changing how the game was played. And IMO not for the better.
I don't like some of the micro transaction changes they've made, but as a competitive-focused OW player, 5v5 was for sure a great move when it comes to game balance and the overall feel/pace of competitive matches. Wish they wouldn't put heroes in the battle pass though. That is stupid as fuck.
A few months ago they announced they were scrapping the story campaign they claimed to be working on for years and years.
Makes sense
Literally all the worst parts of modern gaming made by one of the worst companies.
I'm in my late 30s and I remember when Blizzard was highly respected in the industry. sigh, how the mighty have fallen.
Absolutely nobody from the golden age of.Blizz still works there.
Studios are people, not brands.
Yeah, I've said before that as much as people liked to hate on Chris Metzen, it seems that when he left it was a massive migration of optimistic talents out of the company. Now, that's not to say that he caused people to leave, as opposed to him leaving for the same reason that everyone else did, but I've looked at it as a big turning point in blizzard's history of being generally good-natured.
