I'm loving the classic mode. Pretty much every character I play I like their old moveset way more than their new one. 6v6 is the superior format and I hated role queue when it was added. The only characters I think really benefitted from their reworks are Torb and Sym. Old Roadhog is way better, old Mei can actually freeze, old Cassidy can stun flash, these characters can actually do the things their kits were designed around. I even enjoy the chaos of no limits being the default. I get that comp players want balance and teamfights but I hate comp. I love the chaotic rush that is old Overwatch. I also loved 24/7 2fort servers in TF2. Gaming is supposed to be fun and letting me play whoever I want in a game where everyone has crazy OP abilities is fun.

Folks like me that were and remain unhappy with OW2 don't miss 2016 OW1, we miss 2022 OW1.

I miss 2016, back when sniper was it’s own class not just part of the attacker class

(In practice, not in game)

The article fails to say what the issue is beside Mercy full team rez. Also does classic have the old 6vs6 balancing or just 5vs5 one but 6 players?

[–] ILikeBoobies@lemmy.ca 5 points 1 day ago (1 children)

Based on the article it’s the old balancing since they complain about duplicate characters and Mei being able to freeze

That actually sounds like fun.
