Overwatch and now Overwatch 2 have been around long enough to sand down plenty of meta-breaking edges, and while the modern game is in a much more balanced state competitively, the balance of fair and fun remains hotly debated. In an interview with GamesRadar+, Overwatch 2 game director Aaron Keller signals that the team will be leaning a little more on fun while still avoiding the "chaos" that was the original game's launch.
Keller reflects on the fondness that some players hold for older Overwatch metas. "Some of it is just for nostalgia," he begins. "And it's like, 'Hey, I remember, and it was like this,' even knowing that it was broken, you know? There's things that were fun because they were broken, but I think there's also times where people point at things in the past that they had a great affinity for, and they feel loss now it's gone.
