So the recent bad news about Overwatch 2’s PvE cancellation was really disappointing, but honestly it kinda just reminded me that I hadn’t played OW2 in a long while, so I decided to jump in and just play some games.
Queue times for Ranked Any Role is 8-15 mins. Even Quick Play Any Role is giving me queue times of 5+ mins.
I’m in Japan but that also usually means I can get games in Australia and Korea. At launch I was getting games in seconds. Now it just kinda feels dead.
They just launched the new season too, which begs the question if I was silly enough to buy the Battlepass… how could I even go about completing it.
I understand the Blizzard hate here, but I would also be quite sad to see the game just disappear and not have further development to improve it. Is this just a my region problem, or is this common globally?
At my exceedingly okay skill level on US East Coast servers, my queue time is <1min in quickplay. Maybe 2m on support? I'm not really playing much anymore, but not seeing bad queues regardless.
Releasing their most mild season just in time for the entire summer is certainly a choice, though.
