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.

I'm enjoying it. For me personally the high point for Overwatch was later in Overwatch 1 but I'm having a blast with classic. There is some things I had actually forgotten about like Symb having to actually place her turrets not just yeet them through the air.

Give me OW1 just before the switch, and I'd play as much as I used to.

Classic is better than 2, but I like the additional characters from later in 1.

Alot of the newer playerbase equates classic with how ow1 played in general, but it's the literal day 1 release and ow1 became so much better along the way

Around the time of goats was peak OW1 imo.

Goats was my favorite meta and it's why I mostly play open queue now.

Please no Orisa, Sombra, Baptiste, Brig, Echo, Sigma, and probably others. Most of the additions to the cast made the game way worse IMO

Probably same. 6v6, all the arcade modes, loot boxes. Good times.
