My Overwatch schizophrenia is at an all-time high after only playing 6v6 for the past few months. The closer the game gets to Overwatch’s 2016 release and the more freedom it gives players, the more fun it becomes. The game has basically been one continuous chain of cope patches since Brig released because they refused to just nerf her. Every “problem” the game had could have been easily fixed by releasing new heroes and making balance changes. The most fun version of Overwatch would be: -6V6 Every map was made for 6v6, and the game just flows 10x better. Playing as a solo tank will never work without them being OP. -FULL OPEN QUEUE Way higher skill cap as a team, can play tonnes of interesting comps. There's way more variety in every game. Problems of not having enough players per role I think nowadays are a none issue as they've released a lot more tanks and supports. If the roles all had an equal number of heroes the ratio of players would be way closer. Also fixes queue times. -NO HERO LIMITS Again, this adds way more variety and increases the skill cap as a team. If the meta consistently involves two or more of one hero, that is a clear indication they should be nerfed asap. To make this work you'd have to remove things like keeping a bit of ult charge % on hero swap and other things. -REMOVE THE CONCEPT OF “ROLES” Half the tanks are basically fat DPS heroes, and almost every support is now a healer and DPS in one. There should be no roles at all. Every hero should just have their own unique kit, and you should be able to play them however you please. This would mean slightly tweaking almost every hero in the game so they are not confined to being played in one specific way. They've basically been moving this way for years, but they should go all the way. Healbot heroes like mercy could still exist, but a hero like illari wouldn't be forced to have insane healing as well as dps, they could just turn her pylon into an entire new dps or tanking ability. -REMOVE MAP VOTES You play the same ten maps on rotation all day now. The game was more fun with forced variety. -REMOVE HERO BANS Hero bans are good for pro play, but in ranked they just devolve into either stream sniping or one-tricks banning their counter. For example, a Hog one-trick can just ban Ana. In no way does that make the game more fun for anyone. Bans actually benefit one-tricks far more than flexible players because they can just ban their counters and do whatever they want. -REMOVE PERKS Perks are basically a cope attempt to force more variety into the game, but every hero just ends up picking the same two best perks every match. Just add the perks to the heroes’ kits if they are interesting enough. -REMOVE FLASHPOINT AND PUSH They are simply worse game modes than Payload and KOTH. There is no reason for them to be in the game other than making it seem like Overwatch 2 has more content than Overwatch 1. -REMOVE ALL THE PASSIVES -REMOVE PRIVATE PROFILES -REVERT HP AND HITBOX CHANGES -BRING BACK SR -BRING BACK LOOKING FOR GROUP -FIX STUTTERS -PLEASE NERF KIRIKO
