Some of the animations are definitely janky (looking at you, Punisher jumping off your lil zip line), the visual clarity is worse than OW (although maybe that's just a symptom of how much I've played OW vs. MR), and it just has a bit less polish than OW.

That being said, there's something about MR that feels nostalgic, like early OW1, and I've been having a blast with it. Shorter match and queue times are certainly a big factor too.
