So the recent bad news about Overwatch 2’s PvE cancellation was really disappointing, but honestly it kinda just reminded me that I hadn’t played OW2 in a long while, so I decided to jump in and just play some games.

Queue times for Ranked Any Role is 8-15 mins. Even Quick Play Any Role is giving me queue times of 5+ mins.

I’m in Japan but that also usually means I can get games in Australia and Korea. At launch I was getting games in seconds. Now it just kinda feels dead.

They just launched the new season too, which begs the question if I was silly enough to buy the Battlepass… how could I even go about completing it.

I understand the Blizzard hate here, but I would also be quite sad to see the game just disappear and not have further development to improve it. Is this just a my region problem, or is this common globally?

    If you just started back, there might be some long queue times while it tries to figure what kind of matchmaking is appropriate for you. This is doubly true if you’re queueing with a friend. This is speaking from my experience when I started playing OW2 a few months ago.

    I assume the executives are trying everything in the book to squeeze every possible dollar out of a near dead community before Microsoft buys them and it’s not their problem anymore.

    Ow2 evolved into an exit scam
