Overwatch 2 will likely never recover from it's botched release, the failed attempt at a campaign, and rather meh first couple of years, but, for the past 10 months the game has been pumping out new, high quality content every new season. The devs have regularly shifted around who is and is not strong at any given time, and the overall game is incredibly balanced (even if metal rank players might disagree, citing moira and junkrat of all characters as busted).

The main complaint people seem to have nowadays is the pricing and distribution of cosmetics, which while valid, honestly is pretty minor, and just shows how far the game has come.

Yeah yeah, the community could be nicer but if you don't want to, you can opt out of seeing or hearing any of their messages. And sure all have a couple of handful of heroes whom we do not like, and in NA and Europe you can get chatbanned for saying gl hf and gg too much (happened to me), but the game, frankly, is in the best state it has ever been. Most of my rounds are exciting and fun, people are actually quite decent on average, and there's a million different ways to approach the 40 or so characters which keeps things fresh even if you like me decide to only play two or three of them.

If you like slightly silly but extremely compettiive hero shooters, this is your game, there is no better alternative. If you liked the game back when everyone played it, you should give it a shot, relearn it, and have some fun with your friends.
