It's not about what's new to 'Overwatch 2.' It's what's been removed.

If you start counting what's actually new to Overwatch so far -- one hero, a few maps, a new game mode called Push -- you might find yourself disappointed. And plenty of people are. The YouTuber Jason Gastrow, known as Videogamedunkey, called the beta "a minor patch to an abandoned game" in a review that has more than 3 million views. But there's reason to be optimistic. Players, coaches and commentators in the Overwatch League have been testing the early version of the sequel for weeks now, preparing for the fifth season of the Overwatch League, which kicked off on Thursday.
