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?

Joke aside, it may not be as popular as OW1 was, nor have as much of a dedicated fanbase. I personally haven't touched it since week one of OW2 because I was not enjoying myself like I used to, and felt scammed. I reckon plenty of others are of the same opinion.
