"Overwatch 2: Balancing Changes and Competitive Teasers"

TL;DR Summary
Overwatch 2 has been undergoing significant changes, including a shift from 6v6 to 5v5, reworked heroes, and the addition of passive healing abilities, leading to concerns that the game is moving away from its original team-oriented, strategic hero shooter concept towards a more deathmatch-style gameplay. Season 10 will introduce further changes favoring speed, such as increased movement speed for the Push bot, speed boosts, and shorter match lengths, raising worries that the game is increasingly rewarding independence and quick, deadly plays over strategic ones.
