MOD [MOD] Overwatch 2 is gone, what happens to this subreddit?

Hi everyone! Today, Blizzard announced the renaming of Overwatch 2 back to Overwatch alongside a plethora of other really great changes to the game. As a moderation team and as fans, we are excited to see Overwatch return to its roots.
Some have asked us regarding how we will be reacting to the change as a subreddit, some have suggested rebranding, others have suggested deleting the subreddit entirely, while others want us to continue. To be clear, rebranding was not an option because Reddit does not let you change a subreddit name.
After pondering over every available option, we have decided to continue running and moderating this subreddit not as a subreddit specifically about the sequel to Overwatch, but as an alternative, more open subreddit focused on Overwatch and the community around it as opposed to the larger franchise subreddit. We hope you'll continue to be a part of our wonderful community.
We will continue moderation on this subreddit as expected for the forseeable future. We hope you'll continue to share around and crosspost us! We are also accepting applications for more moderators to assist us with this. As for our Discord server, we will measure changes in server activity and make further announcements regarding any major changes in the coming months.
Thank you!

Question Orisa walks out of Mauga ultimate

Hello. I'm trying to reconnect with a friend I lost touch with last year. His username's Zant, he mains Cassidy and has a cowboy bebop banner. Don't know if that's changed since then, but I thought I'd still give it a try. If you are Zant, or if you know someone who fits this description, please send me a DM. Thank you

Discussion Am I the only one having a problem with Doctrine?
Hi, I wanted to ask if any of you are also having issues with Doctrine as a character.
I really like his aesthetic and his lore, which is why I don’t understand the design of his kit. It almost feels like his abilities have nothing to do with the character.
Let me explain: given the type of character he is, his lore, and the technology he uses, I would have imagined a more technical version of Moira, someone who manipulates HP in a sophisticated way, following the "drain life from enemies to heal allies" concept, especially considering how his drones function in the lore.
In that sense, I was expecting someone more like Adam Warlock from Marvel Rivals, with abilities like Soul Bond to share health among allies, or Life Stream to provide healing through a connection.
I know that might have felt like a rip-off, but at least it would have been more in line with the character.
As it stands, don't Doctrine's abilities feel a bit... lazy?
His movement ability, in particular, where he just stands still in a "vampire-like" pose, is visually terrible, in my opinion, though that might just be me.
His staff, which fires a beam that damages enemies while healing allies, also feels a bit generic. I know it’s necessary for gameplay, but it still feels uninspired given how the character is described in the lore.
I can understand the drone-based buffs, viewing them as "drones enhancing physiological functions", though I would have liked to see that executed differently.
And finally, the ability that simply provides a very bland boost to his other skills feels completely arbitrary, included solely for the sake of gameplay. That’s fair enough, I suppose, the character does need to be playable, but it still feels like a missed opportunity. The ultimate is good, it does exactly what the drones should do, even if I’m not a huge fan of its visual design.
In short, that’s my take on the new character. I understand that, for the sake of gameplay, balancing, enabling new strategies, and so on, it’s necessary to design characters with specific abilities; still, I’d like to see a bit more attention paid to the lore in relation to the gameplay.

Discussion Next Rework Target
I figure most people would say the hog rework was a success. He’s more interesting as a not one-shot bot, and I figure as players get used to him they’ll learn and perfect a more healthy playstyle for the character.
Who should be next? Which heroes are a bit of a problem, in terms of how they interact with the game and certain members of the cast? Bad or good, just straight up fun killing design?
Interested to see what you think.
