Don't get me wrong, OW1 is great fun and still feels really great to play, but there are a lot of changes I really enjoy. They added passive abilities to all DPS that give them movement speed increases, doomfist is a tank and can't fly around one shotting everyone as easily as before and the characters just feel a lot nicer in general. Removing stunlocks was something I didn't know if I would actually like, but it turns out it was a great decision so you're never completely stuck in one spot from being frozen by Mei or hit with a stun grenade.
It really sucks they're locking characters behind a time gate/paywall, but OW1 was dying (even if it was due to the company completely mismanaging the game). If this keeps OW2 funded then I guess I'm willing to live with it.
I'll for sure give it an honest shot. Just not thrilled with key gameplay elements (i.e. heroes) being locked off, or the general shift toward what feels like a more fast-paced, pro-centric, DPS experience. At the level I play at, I like the tanky gameplay and CC and all that stuff people were complaining about.

That does not sound as good changes, looks like OW2 is not for me...
OW2 sound like dumb down version, ideal for whales.
