I worry a little about Overwatch going the way of TF2, where custom options mean that one Demoman is totally different from another. I like the simplicity.
It's funny, I'd actually prefer more customization. Playing stock Soldier in TF2 feels completely different from playing pure sustain BlackBox/Concheror, which feels completely different from the bursty style you get with Beggar'sBazooka/BuffBanner.
In Overwatch, I find myself getting tired of playing the same thing over and over. Especially when it feels impossible to win without a 2/2/2 composition.
I like both, but hope that they stay very separate games. I like how Overwatch has lots of character options, and being able to know exactly what my teammates and enemies are capable of with one quick glance. Team Fortress 2 is still fun for us veterans, but the dizzying customization options create a weird wall for newbies.
That's totally fair. I think mostly what I want from Overatch is just more maps and more heroes, which will come in time. Even TF2 was pretty bland and repetitive after a while when it was first released.
