-the one tank change is shit (I'm a 6v6'er). -the new Clash game mode is trash (same as push). -the meta is artificially designed by the devs (every tank had his season), and they are not aiming for making every hero viable in every game. -you cant select a server to play on (my duo is in NA and I play in MENA, one of us will play on 200ms+). but sadly nothing is like ow (hopes on marvel rivals)
