In what way? 6v6? Generous loot? Immobile Orisa and Bastion? Uglier graphics?
That's basically the trick of this - these aren't really sequels, they're just large updates being marketed as sequels. In the case of OW2, the biggest loss is how prohibitively expensive the new monetization scheme is.
If the game was reverted, it would feel like a breath of fresh air, they fucked it on all fronts.

As someone who mostly plays offline single player games, I don’t really care what they “kill” by creating new enshittified versions of things. I already cultivated a save version of the game I like, it’s installed on a pc that rarely or never goes online that you can’t access and deactivate, and since you spent my 40 bucks already as per our agreement, I’ll enjoy it whenever I want forever without your input or any future consent required from your company. Cope.
