      Well, OW devs had to give him the iconic Reaper abilities even before he became Reaper because they'd sort of written themselves into a corner when they made the Blackwatch Archives Mission (back in OW1) with Blackwatch Commander Gabriel Reyes, Blackwatch-Moira, Blackwatch-Genji, and McCassidy and realized "Whoops, this is set at a time when Gabriel is still human and not a black smoke cloud of nanites, but we can't invent a whole new set of abilities for this character just for an Archives mission, it would confuse players".

      If there was a campaign then maybe it wouldn’t have been too little too late. But this piecemeal idea they going to do is just damaging. Cutting us die hard fans at the knees. I’ve had ow since day 1! Ibought 2 copies 1for pc and 1 for PlayStation. Spent loads on loot boxes until I found out there was no cross save. Then crosssave comes, so I think I will be more than happy to spend money on the game, because surely there will be a fully fledged campaign. I would have bought a whole campaign but little piecemeal bits bundled with the battle pass feels like a slap to the face. I would’ve spent AAA prices for the campaign, but now all I’m going to do is watch someone else play the mission due to the mission being so short, compared to being a AAA title

      That's true, however, it's 'expanded' backwards. This is telling us still how the Omnic Crisis started. Instead, we should know what's actually going on 'right now', what _are_ the ongoing events. I hope they do expand on that. For now of course it makes sense they start from the beginning (obviously) but it's not like we didn't know that there was an Omnic war, it was made particularly clear with the Bastion CGI Short and the Reinhardt CGI Short many years ago.

    I could not stress this enough. If only Overwatch receives LoL's Arcane treatment and be given an animated series instead of OW 2, the franchise could literally be resurrected and take off.
    Weekly episodes, synchronized with monthly PvE contents once in a while, Overwatch could have been a huge franchise. With a vast and colorful lore, a team of animators and writers who don't miss... we could have had it all.
    But no. They went with the decision of making OW 2. I always feel like OW 2 is a shower/before bed idea that one of the Blizzard/Activision higher ups/execs came up with and would force it to the OW developer team. The decision feels so, so, impulsive and reckless. This might have been the reason why Jeff left in the first place.
    I'm hurt that this franchise I have loved for 7 years fell off. But I am far more hurt and disappointed knowing that OW could have been the greatest franchise with so much potential, only to fail.
