Bad, just check steam lol. I myself even prefer tf2 over OW anyday. tried it, it's really not that fun tbh. At least for me fun in a multiplayer game needs to have a layer of communication, and likeable devs as it's most likely a live service. OW had the most unfun players I've ever met, and I have a friend added on Discord from League for crying out loud (my bar isn't that high). Don't even get me started the fun I had in tf2, we roleplayed once that my love interest (who was a nother player, in rp) cheated on me, because he got auto balanced. Another time in tf2 we talked about periods (and maybe drinking it? I can't remember).
In OW my greatest memory was we idolized someone called Dave. Even that was half assed, as only 1 guy from the enemy joined in on the fun and he even quit half way thru. It wasn't that good of a match, but it was the best that I can recall.
I get that some ppl enjoy these games, but it housing the worst collection of users I've ever seen (and I played league, saying it again)
sorry ranted a bit TL;DR: OW's community is bad imo.
You're good, man, I understand. Everyone is entitled to their opinion, and I'm not going to pretend the situation you've described isn't true. I've never played TF2 when it was more active, sadly, so I can't really compare it myself.
Steam review bombing aside, I find the actual gameplay fun, so I pop in couple times a week for some hours. Especially with the current season being really good for supports, which is my preferred role.
I'll probably stop playing for a couple of months once the balance shifts over or if I get bored, until something new and interesting enough gets added (which was largely the reason I even came back to the game). Until then, I'll just stay in my bubble and hope for the best.
Best of luck to you! But side note: tf2's hitting all time high players recently.
