  As someone whose been playing regularly for the past 4 years, 2-2-2 role lock was by far the biggest reduction in toxicity. It removed an entire class of bad communication like “switch off DPS” as well as the stress of convincing 5 strangers to use a particular comp at the beginning of the game. Before role lock it seemed like every single game was a freaking argument. They also released player reporting and endorsements though it’s harder to say what the overall impact of those are.

  I was super hyped for Overwatch, I loved my time with the beta. I thought Overwatch was going to be the new Counter-Strike, Quake, or Halo. One of those games that just defines its time period. Then it launched and I got bored after 1 month. Too few maps too few variety.

    And whatever algorithm they use for match-making should just be completely scrapped so they can start over. It seems like most games are really lopsided - you're either stomping on someone or getting stomped on. Maybe it's different in the high-ranked competitive play but the hard-fought matches that go back and forth until the very end are infrequent, in my experience, and those are the best part of playing!

    I mean there's been a huge number of updates since it launched and quite a few added maps. You should give it another shot.
