Overwatch 1 vs Overwatch 2 - Not just heroes
Overwatch 1 vs Overwatch 2 is a gamemode where you...uh...well, you play as close as I can get to Overwatch 1 against overwatch 2.
Team 1 has 6 members, 2-2-2 role split, Overwatch 1-esque health pools, loses ult charge entirely when swapping heroes, and has all heroes made for Overwatch 1 who weren't majorly reworked for or during Overwatch 2.
Team 2, however, has only 5 members, missing one of the two tanks. This side has the heroes' full current health pools, keeps ult charge on swap like is normal in Overwatch 2, and has every new or majorly reworked hero for Overwatch 2.
If you want to play this mode without any balance changes, use the code A2ZWW!
V2 is bringing a wave of balance changes meant to level the playing field! This is tricky to work with, as the OW1 team is incredibly hard to break, but once they start to crack the fight is practically over. My goal here is to eliminate prominent issues from both sides where possible, and give a few new advantages to OW2's side. Patch notes below.
