I got into the Overwatch 2 Beta and was extremely disappointed with what Blizzard had given us. I share my honest thoughts about how this is a poor excuse for a sequel.

Needless to say I am extremely disappointed at what "Overwatch 2" has to offer. Did you get into the Beta? What did you think? Lemme know in the comments!!
It was good
It's still in the beta phase don't get me wrong I understand people's dissapointment with it, but it's only 1 of 3 betas I'm assuming fingers crossed they give the supports SOMETHING anything to help them not die every 2 seconds new heroes would be nice. I'm mostly just taking everything in and when the official "Overwatch 2" comes out then I will make my judgment.
Good video, however I have to disagree with a lot of your points (and agree with some). I don't think the changes were enough to call it a second game, but you also have to realize for the pvp aspect, it isn't anything more than an update and was never advertised as any more. Overwatch 2 will replace overwatch 1 no matter what.
The core gameplay is essentially the same but the mechanics are much different. Pacing is alot faster, more opportunities to punish bad positioning, bad ability usage etc, and just completely goes from the old spam a shield until someone messes up to actually moving around and fighting.
Your point about queue times was, in my opinion, invalid since it was a closed beta therefore alot of players don't have access to it. They did try to fix it with open queue which drastically helped but that meant some people wanted to run two tanks which was not fun.
Your point about sojourn was correct but for the wrong reason. It's best to compare her to widow as her primary fire is only there to spam for her sniper shot. While it is a bit underwhelming of a character, I think it's a step in the right direction because let's be real, it's pretty hard to create new character ideas without recycling some.
Your idea of supports not getting much to play around with is valid, however you have to realize supports are extremely overpowered and I feel they were testing to see how they'd perform before releasing balance changes. I don't know when you wrote the script but support has had a fair amount of changes towards the end of the beta.
I really enjoyed the beta because the lack of "baby sit" or "mistake erasing" mechanics such as mccree stun, brig stun, and lowered heals. It makes players that are smart excel and players that heavily relied on those fail. Like I said earlier it is so much easier to punish bad ability where as before, even if a mccree wasted flash, you had brig stun, high healing output, a second tank to peel etcetc.
I want to make it clear I don't hate the video, it is your opinion after all, I just wanted to share why I enjoyed overwatch 2 even with the lack of content they gave out. I played both games since they came out basically religiously and now I can't stand playing overwatch 1.
Im not the best player but I have been top 500 on multiple roles so I feel I have some degree of merit when it comes to the matter. Just wanted to point it out just in case someone calls me "trash" because of my opinions.
