I stopped playing if when they put heroes behind the battle pass, and thus giving very real game advantage for money. They can shove it

I did too, but I got back in when they gave you a pretty easy achievement-based unlock the next season after the hero drops. I don't love it but it means you'll get the heroes at most 1 season late if you're not active enough to complete the free-tier battle-pass.

So it's not nice but at least there's no FOMO. It's more like unlocking weapons in TF2 in terms of difficulty than true "pay to win".

To me the big pisser is that the OW1 gameplay of 2-2-2 is no longer available. 5 players is not large enough team for a game with a respawn timer and slow rollouts - losing one player (especially the tank) means the teamfight is over. That much pressure is just bad gameplay for a game that was originally supposed to be an approachable take on TF2.

If they wanted smaller teams, they needed to rework how costly deaths are in teamfights. And OP tanks was just a dumb idea altogether.
