A friend got me hyped for Overwatch 2 :/ sigh

Aside from the store front and cancelled pve the game is an improvement in every way on the multiplayer front.

5v5 makes the game so much easier to balance and that's one thing that's been being praised almost every season by content creators and top players. Also since we no longer have two tanks that you can top off with healing constantly, squishy heroes can get more healing focus and there's no more of those annoying stalemates where you can spend an entire match trying to capture the first point (because as long as a tank is alive it can be easy enough to hold the point).

One less player just means less to keep track of as well, and this goes for everybody. Tanks one less player to confront, healers have one less person to heal and one less enemy player to run away from, DPS have one less enemy to do damage to and can focus down targets easier. Especially love it for healers, having one less player to heal means you can actually play the role of support instead of being a heal bot and can actually contribute to combat.

Also that's one less ultimate to deal with. Couldn't stand how Overwatch 1 had such a large emphasis on ultimate economy instead of individual player skill and this was even after several global nerfs to ult charge rate.

Maps also feel better but this could just be a result of 10 players congesting the maps less than 12 players did. To top it all off, hero choice has never been better. They've been trying to round out the other roles so that there's as many Supports and Tanks as there are DPS.
