After five years of trying, Warner Brothers Interactive Entertainment has finally secured a patent for the Nemesis System .

The "Well" section of this Control map makes for some exciting and amusing skirmishes, especially for the likes of Lucio, Winston, Pharah, and Orisa who can "boop" their unsuspecting targets straight into that gaping

This is what Overwatch 2 sounds like, a slight iteration that adds improvements and features while not altering the core Gameplay customization. Releasing a sequel that's mostly the same game but with a new coat of paint is frowned upon by most gamers who aren't into sports. This kind of behavior from Blizzard would be surprising except for one thing: they're owned by Activision, the publishers of the Call Of Duty franch
