So no topic on this since the old place: And I've not played this properly in ages but.. Beta for 2 is out today, apparently most people who applied will get in, but they are going to flag accounts gradually, and on the 27th they will operate a scheme where 4 hours of watching partnered streamers will net you a beta flag anyway, there is also a free trial available which is good enough for beta access. This is all PC only at this stage. Its replacing OW1, if you own that you own 2 (pvp only, pve is a different beast and will be sold at an extra cost, but that's not in this beta)
New stuff 5v5 now (from 6v6), only 1 tank 1 new hero in this beta (more to come in later betas/release) New game mode (push) 2cp is gone Game is being readjusted with less shields and cc.
I'm hoping this can be fun again, after years of basically being abandoned.

As someone who plays it near enough every day still I'm intrigued by the changes. Orisa looks like a brand new hero, Doomfist is a tank, removal of hit stuns etc. On top of a 5v5 meta. Seems to have gotten positive impressions from pros playing the alpha with some reservations.

Well, have an account flagged for beta so giving it a go tonight. Slightly annoying its my alternate account I don't use much (got it free somewhere), which is billy no mates, so this is going to be a solo queue thing I guess.
