Genuinely the worst multiplayer shooter right now. The game has been on a sharp decline ever since Overwatch 2 was introduced and 6v6 was removed in favor of a much worse 5v5 form factor.

The tank class doesn't make sense anymore, going from actually being centered towards defending your teammates to becoming nothing more than a glorified DPS. It's easily the most overpowered class because there can only be one tank player in a team, however that makes matches usually depend solely on the skill of the tank player. It's tiring to lose repeatedly just because you were matched with a much worse tank than the enemy team.

Changing the team form factor is however far from the only wrong thing Blizzard did to Overwatch 2. The game was actually still pretty enjoyable during the first few seasons, but everything went wrong when they buffed every hero's hp and gave everyone the ability to regenerate. Overwatch was starting to resemble something more of a MOBA with focus drawn away from support players, making teamfights much less chaotic in a bad and unfun way. Newer heroes released since the start of Overwatch 2 barely add anything to the experience and feel like a far cry from the original iconic characters in both abilities and aesthetics. With the exception of Kiriko, every new released hero has a much worse design and tend to be forgettable for the most part with their ties to the game's lore being almost nonexistent.

However none of these problems that I've mentioned hold a candle to the real culprit that completely killed the game: the matchmaking. Undoubtedly the worst matchmaking and competitive system in any popular game ever released. There have been plenty of videos released already proving without a doubt that, when it comes to competitive, Overwatch 2 is rigged and forces a maximum 50% win rate, also making it much easier for newer accounts than for older accounts to reach high ranks. This is something I've noticed in my over 500 hours of playing and many pointed this out as well. There have never been another game where you either lose terribly, having only the most intellectually challenged teammates or you win easily, making you wonder if the enemy team is comprised of bots. It's neither balanced nor fun and the constant toxic changes to the meta make competitive a torturous experience. Never have I seen another game where you can one day log in, play matches and end up having a 15 match lose streak just for the next day to win every game. It's not about skill anymore, it's a proven fact that if the game wants you to lose you will lose and if it wants you to win you will win.

The recent Classic 6v6 event made me understand just how much the game got worse over the years. The original Overwatch was more chaotic, less tryhard, less toxic and enemies actually died when you shot them. Now every teamfight takes a ton because players barely die if the healers are competent and everything is centered around playing counters to the enemy team's heroes, having a "rock paper scissors" meta where 3 tanks are viable and counter each other. I've recently tried to get back into playing ranked competitive only to find out the game is completely dead after the release of Marvel Rivals. It takes well over 4 minutes to find a single match just to lose it in 6-8 minutes and start over. Whether I win or lose, even when playing with friends, just feels like RNG now and instead of fixing the game, Blizzard only focuses on releasing overpriced cosmetics to squeeze the last drops of cash before the game inevitably dies in the next 1-2 years. As I'm writing this I've been on a lose streak of 6 matches just to win the next 3 way too easy. The matchmaking is completely broken and endorsement levels might as well not exist. If you're thinking of starting playing this trash in 2025 just take my advice and don't.
