How come?
This is my subjective opinions
Numbers 1 and 4 are just baffling to me. Blizzard's strengths have always been (or at least previously were) game balancing and writing interesting stories with compelling and complex characters. Overwatch 1 was a departure from the writing front, but Overwatch 2 seems to be where they just chucked it all out the window.
Their main story writing (not side quests or side-characters) have increasingly read like Mary Sue fics from FanFiction.Net.
Whomever is their main writer seems kind of bad, so I wouldn’t bet on them writing anything decent in terms of story.
I've been enjoying the main storyline of the current WoW expansion.
