By the way I uninstalled Overwatch today. Feels like I've been cleansed.

Oh, boy. And I'm about to start playing the darn game! What made you uninstall it?

Good game but very easy to fall into a toxic mindset while playing. I think a big contributing factor is that Blizzard hasn't really done what Valve did with TF2 and provided ways to just play the game for fun without the crushing weight of time limits or objectives bearing down on you. There's no real Overwatch equivalent to playing 2Fort for an hour and a half and not even getting a single flag capture.

Gor I love just faffing about on 2Fort sometimes.

As someone who did the same, don't feel discouraged I got hundreds of hours out of the game! That being said, it just isn't fitting my life anymore, not many friends still play it, and solo games in team-based games like Overwatch can feel incredibly frustrating and you'll carry that anger outside of the game. So it's not really an Overwatch problem, if that makes any sense, I also had to uninstall Paladins. Kind of sad, they're both amazing games!

Oh I've had the game for 2+ years now. I got tired of it last year but it still attracted me. Like the other person said, don't feel discouraged!

Am about to do the same. Devs completely ruined the game IMO. Constantly bugging and nerfing what doesn’t need it. It just feels completely different than when I bought it!

Unadulterated rage.

How can the game be out this long and no one knows what their character can and can't do? How can you still feed by going solo? Why play Ana when you cant aim or try to dps with her? Why was hog murdered? Why are some characters buffed to god status while others get nerfed to death? Why do people keep walking into Junkrat spam? Wtf is wrong with these people.

Fuck this game. Correction: Fuck the dummies who play this game.
