    personally, as someone who was absolutely in love with ow1, ow2 just isn’t the same to me. I’ve never been able to see it as anything other than the regrettable cash grab that it was. I could never really enjoy it. rivals tho? rivals is fun. and I don’t have that nagging voice in the back of my head telling me I’m just playing with the taxidermied corpse of a game I once loved.

    also rivals is just kind of solid? the characters might be a little bland because corporatism and fitting an already designed mold but the game play is rather fun.

    and im v much not a marvel fan, supeheros in general are just kind of meh. tbh the only superhero media I’ve vibed with at all is doom patrol. moon knight was p good but it doubles down on the “killer alter” stereotype and I’m so not here for that, nor do I like his gameplay in rivals.

      I agree that OW1 was better. They ran a public 6v6 test for the past couple weeks, and there’s another one confirmed coming sometime, so the OW you loved may return at some point.
