In what way? 6v6? Generous loot? Immobile Orisa and Bastion? Uglier graphics?

That's basically the trick of this - these aren't really sequels, they're just large updates being marketed as sequels. In the case of OW2, the biggest loss is how prohibitively expensive the new monetization scheme is.

  • 6v6? Yes please.
  • Generous loot? Yes please.
  • Immobile Orisa and Bastion? I was an Orisa main and a Bastion main before that. I (mostly) miss the old meta. Yes please.
  • Uglier graphics? If the graphics must suffer for the game to be fun again, then so be it.

If the game was reverted, it would feel like a breath of fresh air, they fucked it on all fronts.
