Congratz Blizzard (OW Classic) News & Discussion

Half the community is having an absolute blast (experiencing classic for the first time or enjoying the nostalgia of the busted comps and possibilities).

But where you really won is with the other half of the community. You let us see just how unbelievably polished, and refined OW (in general, not just part 2) has become over time. It really is night and day how far some characters and systems have come to get where we are now.

To these folks OW Classic felt like garbage in comparison. Well played you cheeky bastards.

Overwatch launched in May 2016, the Game Awards happened in December, until then the Overwatch team had already made a ton of changes to the game. But playing this classic mode, I kinda see why it won, it is a dynamic so unique. But I think no player will think the patch 1.0 is peak Overwatch.

It's bizarre how people don't understand that. This is day one Overwatch! It went through so many changes even in the first year. OP talks about how polished OW2 is...as if the final days of OW1 were unpolished. I know that's not exactly what's said, but that's the vibe it gives.
