From briefly giving it another shot after quitting it 3 months into the mess that is - IMO - Overwatch 2, I am not only confused by the sheer avalanche of bars, popups and numbers and progressions that emulate an actual meaningful system or at least try to, but I can also say that sadly, not much has changed for the better.

Two more support heroes is good and they're both very well made in graphics and sound. Balance is still utterly all over the place and still reels from the removal of the second tank and a lack of a full-game rebalancing effort to accomodate such a sweeping change.

Ah well, still. Nice to see one less launcher. Hopefully their other games all come to Steam and ideally other sites, too.

My youngest is 10 now and I've gotten back into gaming after stopping completely for a decade or so, so yeah the parenting does slow down and you can get back into it. Overwatch is good for that since the rounds aren't super long like an RTS or a Moba, at least in QuickPlay.

The new support seems fun but i kinda don't like how she doesn't have any game-breaking crazy power like some of the other supports do. Mercy's Rez, Kiriko's suzu, Ana's anti-heal, and Lucio's speed & boop are all amazing for big plays that shift the whole course of the game, and they're not even ults.
