Overwatch 2's Updates Shift Gameplay Toward Faster, More Combat-Focused Formula
• Overwatch 2 has made continual sweeping changes since launch, shifting away from the original's strategic, team-oriented formula
• Season 10 will implement gameplay speed increases across modes based on an experimental "Quick Play Hacked" mode
• These faster respawns and objectives promote a quicker, more kill-focused playstyle like a standard deathmatch shooter
• Overwatch 2 has moved from 6v6 to 5v5, gutted PvE content, reworked heroes to be more aggressive, and added passive healing
• The game seems to be moving further from the tactical, hero shooter roots that made the original so popular
