Switch to Asia servers, it'll put you on a US server but the queue will move.

If you want to play on Linux, use Bottles + Caffe 7.18 and system sync nad it will work.

If you own Overwatch 1 do you get that premium battlepass thing that unlocks Kiriko immediately?

Just want to confirm that despite all this talk about weird game modes like "competitive" and "quick play", the actual OW game of Mystery Heroes is still there?

If so, anyone able to say how it plays with only 5v5?

those ain't the old credits that carried over, these are 2016 original launch skins tho so how much could they cost?

Yeah it is a non-arcade quick play mode now, which gives me hopes it will one day be competitive. It was not too bad. If you get 3 tanks and 2 supports, you are in pretty good shape, but I don't think tanks are too far unbalanced.

First impressions:

The main menus are a lot sleeker and more streamlined than before. The game overall feels more modern.

The lighting/sound quality are a lot better than in OW1. The sound effects in particular seem a lot boomier/punchier than before, like you're actually fighting on a battlefield.

The gameplay (so far) is better too, IMO, mainly thanks to a lot less shields/stuns. You feel way more exposed, so the firefights are a lot more engaging than before. I feel like I have more of an impact on the fight as an individual than before instead of feeling like a cog in a machine I couldn't do a whole lot to steer.

Having my first match be a robot push map was incredibly disorienting and I had no idea what the hell was going on. Flashbacks to early OW1 days lol.

I tried purchasing an orange Kirko skin (orange color, not legendary) with legacy credits, but it wouldn't give me the option to equip it afterwards so I think it's bugged. Also, it's very curious that the skin/emote/etc rarities in the list are flipped from before, going from legendary to rare instead of vice-versa. The most interesting skins are obviously Battlepass-only whereas they would have been unlockable legendary skins before in OW1. Blizzard is definitely not being subtle about consumer manipulation this time around.

Facing Widowmaker is loving AWFUL with reduced shields, especially on King's Row defense.

The heroes react more dynamically to what's happening in the battle (for example: 80-50 will have your character quip they might/probably will win), but some of the new reactive voice lines are pretty cheesy ("One, two! Buckle my shoe!" urgh).

Overall, I think OW2 is more fun and engaging than OW1 was, but I'm sure to reminisce on the old days eventually.

e: Oh yeah. The new endorsement system is loving confusing and I wish they would've kept the old system instead. vvvv

Roadhog's ult feels more powerful, but landing a hook seems to need even greater precision than before. I think the max hook length has been slightly reduced as well?

Despite his increased cheesiness, I enjoy Junkrat's even zanier personality and quips and I'm cackling alongside with him whenever I make things go boom. :allears: I'm not a fan of his changed portrait icon with the clean hair, but I'm glad I can still use the old skins with the same dirty hair instead.

I'm sorry but there's an embargo on positive OW2 reactions. Launch is reserved for complaints.

From my experience with the beta, supports have to look out for each other, because no other bastard will.

:lol: This is actually pretty spot-on. I played a map just earlier (I think Brazil?) where we were at a corner and an enemy Genji got behind us and was just bouncing around throwing shurikens at our backline.

Apparently I was the only one on the team who knew the secret of Turning Around and killed him to help out the support being harassed (who also did not Turn Around).

yeah the actual game is pretty drat solid. Coming from OW1 with a bunch of skins I already earned the battlepass is also really easily ignorable so far and I'm loving terrible with the 30 characters I already have anyway.

It blows my mind that this game has been running for 6 years, and they manage to screw up a minor patch pretending to be a major update. The literal only difference is that a logo artist put a 2 next to Overwatch. This was a really pathetic rebrand of the game in order to bring back people, and the pay off so far has not been worth it for anyone.

Gameplay seems higher skill ceiling for sure, but I wanna say

If you solo queue, you are probably hosed. This game is twice as poo poo to play as OW1 if you aren't on the same page as the rest of your team. Granted, there is one less person per team so that is more likely to happen, but i've had some absolutely miserable games due to no team cohesion. Ultimately, that is why most of the people I know that were heavy into OW1 ended up quiting the game; it got to the point where it was a chore to play anything but a premade.

MH still goated. For a while I though they'd tweaked it to always have at least one of each role on each team but no, it was just an insanely balanced run at it. The only thing I'm mad about is they got rid of the fire gauge which was the one visible metric that I actually thought was useful. Queue times in QP are great. Junker Queen is a lot of fun to play but she feels like rein in that if your healers aren't pumping resources into you its hard to get much value out of her
