Overwatch is dead. Long live Overwatch 2. The sequel has already garnered more than 25 million players so we’re going to keep a close eye on what this burgeoning community gets up to. From early bugs to progression woes and players not playing the damn game properly, here’s everything of note that happened in Overwatch 2 last w

Having one tank in Overwatch has made support a complete nightmare, and it’s made some tanks completely redundant in certain modes. I’ve been playing a lot more Mercy, finding it helpful on defense especially as I flutter from teammate to teammate, frantically keeping them alive while they fend off the enemy’s push. But all it takes to stop that is a Zarya toggling her shield, walking right through all of them, killing me, and then strutting back to safety. The lone tank is busy holding the line and the DPS are busy killing the enem

The third point in the multiplayer game holy-trinity is moderation, especially if a game caters to minors as well as adults. Reports recently emerged that there were certain Overwatch 2 servers that weren't moderated properly, as they had inappropriately themed custom games modes like "Sexual Assault Simulat

That was always the draw with the sequel anyway for me. I didn’t see the need to give us a whole new game and I won’t be working towards nor investing in the battle pass. I’m already irritated at the obnoxiously long time it takes to earn enough to buy a single skin. The thought of being able to play a story mode was a major appeal, and even though that was dampened by the news it wouldn’t be ready for launch, all things considered it was enough to hook me back in, at least temporar

I think it's pretty clear that nobody likes microtransactions. Mostly because introducing them to a game, especially one that's free-to-play, often results in progression being skewed to compensate for it. Overwatch 2 surely has some of those issues, with Coins taking too long to unlock, resulting in players having to spend real money to unlock new sk

Sooner or later though, I’m going to get bored. Sooner, most likely. I’ll just be done with Overwatch and I’ll tap out. We have a huge swathe of massive games set to launch between now and the end of the year , and helping Ashe move a car around a city isn’t going to keep me away from Bayonetta , Kratos , or Sonic . I’m not sure I’ll be back. Nothing against the game personally, but it has become my go-to game to rewind, even overtaking FIFA . I’m just not sure how long it can hold that posit

Failing to do so consistently will lead to a constant stream of deaths or a lack of focus, because without a tank to move alongside, all your teammates can do is flounder around and hope for the best. I’ve been on the other end of this conundrum constantly since launch. So many matches have been lost because a dipshit tank doesn’t play the objective, or charges in before immediately complaining that I wasn’t around to heal him despite jumping into the fray being impossible. Bad tanks are the worst, and I don’t want to take on that reputation because I end up making a silly mistake. Anxiety is one hell of a thing.

This is perhaps one of the weirdest bugs you've ever seen. We've all been disconnected from games before, that's nothing new; however, D.Va players have been experiencing a very unusual phenomenon that's hard to expl

Overwatch 2, however, is facing a unique issue, where the queue times for DPS and Tank are over ten minutes , but only around two minutes if you pick Support. It seems that nobody wants to help their team out from the sideli

Tank is its own role but it comes in two parts - offensive and defensive. You have Reinhardt, Zarya, Orissa, and the like playing defensive, but then you have tanks like Roadhog, Winston, and D.Va who contrast the protective role. Combining offense and defense meant you had someone to defend you from incoming attacks, making it possible to push as a group, while the second tank fought back and kept everyone alive by sponging damage and doling out plenty of their own. These tanks could even work well as flank

Being a tank is scary. You need to lead the way, make the decisions, and be the driving force for your team that encourages them to push forward and claim victory. I’ve written about the role in Final Fantasy 14 and how it will never be for me, but Overwatch 2 Support Guide|https://overwatch2Tactics.com/ was an exception.

One D.Va bug is so powerful it launches her from the game into another lobby entirely . Nerf that. Also, Lucio’s Snow Fox skin may be a bit too flashy, as others can see the frosty fog effect coming off his boots through wal

I’m confused by Overwatch 2’s ranked system, and I’m irritated because I think confusion was the goal. While the relaunch (because I refuse to call it a sequel) has made the in-match scoreboard more transparent, it's also made the ranked ladder so obscure that it feels like trying to ascend a staircase in an M.C. Escher painting. I think I understand what Blizzard is going for, but I can’t help but feel like there’s a lot of room for improvem
