This game had the most potential of all recently released Blizzard games. But because a few years back Blizzard merged with Activision you could tell the governance had changed and soon enough, it became obviously impossible for OW to be developed into the vision Jeff Kaplan had. Soon there was a content drought, the design of the skins became more and more generic and mediocre and the initials talents all left. In order to renew interests in the game, they planed an expansion falsely advertised as a sequel as if they had learned nothing from other games.

They lie again and again, first by announcing that this game will be F2P and come with a PvE that had a skill tree and items and would co-exist alongside OW1. They lied and OW1 was ended for OW2, which released without PvE which would come later. They completely changed the relatively fair grinding system with lootboxes that were as problematic as they were fun and optional for a Token and Battlepass system which even if you pay for will have you grinding for scraps while it became impossible to collect and unlock anything without paying (and is still the case even with legacy credits that barely allows to even get a Legendary skin in a season) making the game absolutely useless without incentives for lots of players.

Then they lied again by cancelling the PvE, instead releasing a paid Archive mission for the price of the whole OW1 game while removing the skills tree and items. This game deserves the overwhelmingly negative review as should all the subsequent update, until this once promising game forcefully and repeatedly destroyed by Blizzard died while only a few thousands of the degens who are a very low minority remain.
