I left Overwatch when Overwatch 1 servers were turned off and found a fun replacement in Paladins playing it for a couple of years. What finally drove me away from Paladins was the broken rewards. You could be working toward one of the rewards and you effort simply didn't count for that match/game/day. Your progress meter was the same at the beginning as the end of your play time with zero progress. Sometime they'd fix it, many times it would be. When you can do the work and the progress doesn't count it removes any incentive to work for the rewards.
I'll still log every now and then to play the game and enjoy it. Except now I simply ignore any of the offered rewards and play the game only for the gameplay value, so I play it much much less.
