I cannot fathom all the people downvoting this comment. IMO it’s a more fun and dynamic game now. But also by objective standards: balance-wise more characters than ever are viable at tournament level, they removed 2CP by overwhelming request, 5v5 makes every individual more impactful (and 17% less likely to have a disconnect in a game), they got rid of bunker comps, and they drastically reduced the CC.
It’s so much better that I can’t believe the people downvoting this are actual players of this game. OW1 painted itself into multiple corners and then festered and struggled for years.
I say this as a big critic of the game too, and as someone who played since launch.
Next you’re gonna tell us you don’t even selfhost
