After playing the OW2 Beta, I am convinced that the full game will be a major success. Here is why.

Yo if they released a new hero every Overwatch season I'd actually be able to tell one season from another. As it is? I totally blur the seasons together.
The India map and Gottenburg were 2cp maps…so they can reuse assets but maps are DOA, because they made decisions halfway through development.
This video is basically here is all the things they didnt do that I hope they will do
Overwatch 2 WILL Be a Success = 🤣🤣🤣🤮🤣🤣🤣. bruh overwatch is the trashiest game EVER. True fact. lol.
I think new ranked system/competitive mode need hero draft system with unique picks in each game and 1 ban/team (and remove repick system) or game meta become stale to fast because OW2 don't have a lot of complex mechanics to change how ppl play like in Mobas, less tools exist > less options to innovate
The beta (and this is not being said as a criticism) has felt targeted at OWL. Build some interest/hype and test the client, characters, and exact same map pool at scale for stability etc to try to make sure that when 80k people tune in to watch OWL they aren't seeing games frequently encounter bugs etc. Buggy OWL launch would have been catastrophic to the reputation.
Huge rant as usual. Love it. Keep it up SVB.
Let's not forget Overwatch was one of the most hyped games of the decade. So that means people really really liked it. People left the game because of the Blizzard controversies, lack of good updates and the toxicity. I really like overwatch and i want the sequel to succeed

Healer skill floor is up. DPS skill floor is down. DPS is now more accessible because it requires less strategy to get kills.
A greater percentage of each team that queues is comprised of DPS, which means faster DPS queuing.
Easier DPS with faster queuing. It’s probably the single greatest problem in OW1.
5v5 is absolutely good for the game. A lot of the really annoying things in the game are gone thanks to this and hero changes.
I kinda wish they’d made the ow2 beta something like smash 64 with 8 characters. I’d get overwhelmed if they added a new hero every few months, at the same time someone like Rein just feels outdated in the game. Woulda been cool to just release reworks as they went.
I played ow1 and it needs pinging
Yes! Nail on the head my friend!
@2:18 This is what I've always held out hope for OW to do; correct course by catering to their massive non-pro playerbase and release way more content/heroes/maps. Honestly, I don't think we'll see it potentially until Microsoft takes over, if they want to take the game in that direction. It would be really cool though if OW2 actually became the game where we saw a new hero every quarter (which is a pretty modest ask of 4 heroes/year) and a plethora of new content (maps/game modes/events) released regularly to keep the playerbase active and engaged.
Honestly I had no faith in OW2 and I was pleasantly surprised, there’s still issues of course but it feels like 2016 again at least in that the game feels fast paced and like an fps again
Always appreciate your level-headed approach to things, SVB. The community is lucky to have you. I think you're exactly right about this beta. Everything we're seeing looks good so far, but we need more. Even though the beta is fun, it gets tiresome very quickly if you're solo-queuing and wanting to play some real games. Since there's no MMR or anything, most games are just frustrating right now if you slip into the mindset of taking them at all seriously.
Which is the exact same problem OW1 has if you're a solo player. More than new heroes or maps or any other changes, Overwatch desperately needs built-in social infrastructure like a guild or clan system. IMO that's the biggest thing the game needs to be really good. At least, that's what I'm going to need if I'm ever going to seriously invest time and energy into this game again: for most of my time playing to be more fun than frustrating.
I would say after this first beta and peoples reaction time is not in their side they have a chance to redeem themselves even more with these next betas but also release date
As a dva main solo tank is so stressful and fast paced that I quit playing the beta after 3 hrs and probably won't come back…
How much chaos it would be? It's supposed to be a sequel. Treading new ground is kinda the entire point.
And how about one or two support heroes added. It's sad how few healers we have.
