Overwatch 2 is finding problems faster than the developers can fix them, and that’s not a good strategy for a live service game. In fact, we’ve already encountered another issue that players have been complaining about while this summary was being written. Hopefully Blizzard can fix these issues soon, as they are mainly related to balance or connectivity, both of which are very important in a competitive multiplayer game. Until then, at least we have Ramattra to look forward to.

Ramattra’s gameplay trailer shows off his moves, a new map, and that Doomfist is useless
Finally, Blizzard showed us some gameplay footage for Ramattra, where the tank used his abilities to lay waste to some of the other heroes. Cassidy’s ultimate was neutralized by his projectile shield, and Pharah’s barrage had little effect on him. Switching to his Nemesis form, let’s just say he hit some heroes all over the map. He seems to be the guy to have on your team if you need a turnaround.
THE VIDEO OF THE GAMER’S DAY
Ramattra wasn’t the only one to debut in the game though, eagle-eyed Overwatch fans spotted a map that isn’t in the game yet. Aesthetically, it looks like we might be getting another map based on Nepal.
Finally, the gameplay trailer also had players talking about how the introduction of Ramattra essentially makes Doomfist useless, much more than he already is anyway. Many of the next tank’s abilities are similar to Doomfist’s, except they have more layers. Doomfist may need a revamp to stay relevant.
Players “may have to wait a bit” for PvE news

One of the main attractions of Overwatch 2 was that it will have a PvE mode where we will learn more about the world and the heroes. But as we know, the game hasn’t launched with this mode. Actually, we don’t know anything about this PvE mode. It looks like things will stay this way for a while.
When asked about the PvE mode on Twitter, Overwatch 2 executive producer Jared Neuss replied, “We’re going to be focusing a lot on Season 2 in what I would consider the timeframe” soon. We’ll talk about PvE and other early features in the future, but you might have to wait a bit. I know that’s not a very satisfying answer, but I honestly can’t say more.”
A bug is forcefully kicking players out of matches, punishing them for “leaving”
Imagine the frustration you feel while waiting in line for minutes to get into a game. Add to that the frustration of not getting into a game after waiting so long, and multiply that by Blizzard suspending you without explanation after all that. That’s exactly what some Overwatch 2 players have been feeling, as they’re being cracked for no reason.
“I was expecting a competitive game [and] he told me he had found a game. All of a sudden I got banned or suspended for 14 minutes and I don’t understand why,” said one Reddit user.
Players debate which hero has the worst ending
As with any hero-based game, there will always be a hero who is chosen less. Mostly because they do some shit. However, it’s a double whammy when the hero, as well as his ultimate, are useless, like Doomfist.
Overwatch 2 players debated which Hero had the worst Ult, and along with Bastion, Doomfist was mentioned quite a bit. This is what you get when the best you can do is a pound of dirt.
