They destroyed Overwatch 1 and gave us Overwatch 2.

I want to play Overwatch 1. :(

Don't worry, another year or two and they'll be selling us Overwatch Classic™ for $15 a month.

Which one? The game was rebalanced so many times it was basically several different games. If they put in a 2-2-2 mode with the weaker open-queue tanks, I'd call that close-enough to Overwatch 1. Of course, that still would mean the new expensive monetization model. Like there's one skin in the free tier of the current battle-pass, and it's for Torb.

All match-based games should have competitive, casual, and anarchy modes.

SAME. OW1 was one of my favorite games. Still mad about it.

When they made OW2, they replaced OW1 with it. Technically, I think OW2 is just a really big update for OW1. But now there's no way to play the old version that a lot of us liked better. :(
