I’m not gonna get into the arguments for or against the change. Plenty of videos on YT and plenty of streamers have talked about it. I can’t add anything new to the discussion. But I just wonder what reasons Blizz gave justifying the change? Full disclosure, I preferred 6v6.
Thanks for sharing. I just read that, but with over a year of OW2 to be retrospective upon, and being a long time player of OW1, I don’t think that:
“At the heart of this change lies the change in mentality surrounding the role of Tank, previously discussed during BlizzConline, towards one more focused on brawler-style gameplay. This shift from focusing on the protection of your team to in-your-face battling is anticipated to have impacts to the flow and pacing of the PvP experience”
Is an improvement.
I miss OW1 tanking and the game’s pace. Why did they have to get rid of the original game, just let me play OW1 again :'(
