Lots of thigs need to change so i go back.

First of all, rever D.VA to be a defensive tank, eliminate her rockets and give her back her full defense matrix. Giving her rockets qwas an indication that they feel the users only are capable of going DPS like in counter strike. Other things can change, but imperative is to give tanks more defensive roles.

Hopefully they'll say something about the PvE, considering that was the entire point of OW2 existing to begin with...

I think that's a safe bet. I'm expecting this to cover everything, including PvP. It would be really shocking to me if they don't just lay out what they've been working on this whole time.

I really hope that this won't disappoint! OW community deserves better after more than 2 years of nothing.

They've already confirmed cross progression its just how it'll be implemented and how to do it is the question.

Featuring a new five-versus-five multiplayer format with cross-platform play and cross-platform progression, Overwatch 2's PvP experience is designed to offer incredible and fresh competitive gameplay with a new, free-to-play model and major game updates such as new heroes, hero reworks, maps, modes, and premium cosmetics.

Not talking about PvE in your roadmap would be a huge blunder.

So I'm full expecting them not to talk about it

I believe Dva already has full matrix again, and also kept the rockets

No way, she's a lot more fun this way. Not every tank needs to be extra defensive. The old DM was too long and shut down entire team fights and felt oppressive. Not to mention there was no mechanical skill involved, just hold a button down. Current DM is still strong and is great at protecting your backline against flankers, so you should still be playing somewhat defensive to keep your healers alive.

D.VA was never just a defensive tank. Even when defense matrix was dumb long, if you weren't using it to peel and dive for your team, you weren't using it effectively. She's really fun now, and more fun in OW2.

The way they're describing how OW2 will work... isn't that how OW was until they just decided to stop updating it to make this pointless 'sequel'?

This release cadence is ambitious. Also Mythic skin....that's gonna cost $$. Hopefully they don't act like Riot with prices.

I just want to pay full price and have the ability to unlock everything. Screw a battlepass.
