Yeah, you're pretty much right there.
On a note very related to this thread, Blizzard released Overwatch 2 a couple of days ago. It is based on the first game, but with a bunch of balance changes. It's mostly great, just like the original was, other than one key change that is really, really bad, namely going down to 5v5 and having only one tank class character per team. It does get rid of the loot boxes and replace them with a battle pass system, though, so there's that. It's also free to play now.
But for those who like tank class characters, just play the first game since they are so similar, right?
Well, no. You can't. As far as their serverss are concerned Blizzard erased Overwatch 1 from existence and turned it into Overwatch 2, the original game is gone now. All copies of Overwatch patched themselves into being Overwatch 2. Of course, Overwatch 2 is basically just a big patch for Overwatch, but it's just different enough that what Blizzard did is pretty obnoxious. I like Overwatch but not a lot of Blizzard's decisions here.
