I love playing this game with friends and I rarely play solo since I don’t find it as fun. Most my friends are casual players so we focus so much on fun instead of winning (we still try our best lol). I honestly have more fun playing with the friends that don’t follow the game so they don’t know meta, drama, etc. We just log in win/lose a couple and then we do something else.
I play solo tank and it’s about as miserable as you think XD but if you keep positive and try to communicate with your team you can meet some good/ funny players. Sometimes it’s hard to hold your tongue when it feels like your DPS just handed the controller to his baby brother and your Moira is in front of enemy spawn and you’re clawing desperately to win a 2v5 on the point but that’s overwatch, it’s fun anyway
